225032391_7e4136960dGurando kakete’ku anata no senaka wa
Sora ni ukanda kumo yori mo jiyuu de
NOOTO ni naranda shikakui moji sae
Subete wo terasu hikari ni mieta

Suki to yuu kimochi ga wakaranakute
Nido to wa modoranai kono jikan ga
Sono imi wo atashi ni oshiete kureta

Anata to sugoshita hibi wo kono mune ni yakitsukeyou
Omoidasanakute mo daijoubu na you ni
Itsuka hoka no dareka wo suki ni natta to shite mo
Anata wa zutto tokubetsu de taisetsu de
Mata kono kisetsu ga megutte’ku

Hajimete futari de hanashita houkago
Dare mo shiranai egao sagashiteita
Tooku de anata no hashaide’ru koe ni
Naze daka mune ga itakunatta no

Kawatte yuku koto wo kowagatte’ta no
Zutto tomodachi no mama ireru ki ga shita
Owatte’ku mono nado nai to omotta

Hateshitenai toki no naka de anata to deaeta koto ga
Nani yori mo atashi wo tsuyoku shite kureta ne
Muchuu de kakeru ashita ni tadoritsuita to shite mo
Anata wa zutto tokubetsu de taisetsu de
Mata kono kisetsu ga yatte kuru

Itsumademo wasurenai to anata ga ittekureta natsu
Toki ga nagare imagoro atashi wa namida ga koborete kita

Anata to sugoshita hibi wo kono mune ni yakitsukeyou
Omoidasanakute mo daijoubu na you ni
Itsuka hoka no dareka wo suki ni natta to shitemo
Anata wa zutto tokubetsu de taisetsu de
Mata kono kisetsu ga megutte’ku

Garnet - ‘the girl who leapt through time’ main theme

Performer, lyrics & music: Hanako Oku

—————————————–
english translation

You were runnning on the playground,
and your back was more free than clouds on the sky,
and even square letters on my notebook
seemed to be the light which emblazed everything

I couldn’t understand the feeling of love,
but this time which never return
told me the meaning

I’m going to etch the days which I had with you
for no need for visualizing
even though I will love someone
you will be always the special, the importance,
and this season come around again

At the after school hours when we first told in private
I searched your smile which nobody knew
With the voice which you had fun
I didn’t know why but my heart ached

I was afraid of changing
I had the feeling which we could be friends
I never thought the end would come

I could meet you in this endless time
that made me strong above all
even though I will reach the tommorow which runs intently
you will be always the special, the importance,
and this season come around again

The summer when you said you would never forget for all time
Time have passed and I now drop tears

I’m going to etch the days which I had with you
for no need for visualizing
even though I will love someone
you will be always the special, the importance,
and this season come around again

just listen to this lovely song, feel it deep inside your heart and smile to the world

one more time, one more chance

April 17th, 2007 by hafizsan

Onemoreday
another book written by mitch albom that caught my sight while browsing the youngpung bookstore near gangnam, seoul last sunday.  I had seen this title several times earlier, but they were all in hard cover which meant more expensive (around more than 20000 won).  but this time, it was in paper back edition, so I just closed my eyes, dragged the book (along with the tipping point and two manhwas) to cashier and used my bc card to pay them all..  I just love books (sometimes too much)..

the stories by mitch albom are always heart warming.  first I read his book, tuesday with morrie because the explanation on the back cover just moved me to do so.  and it did give me enlightment during one of the hardest time of my life, after a ’silent’ fight with a very close friend of mine.  his second book, the five people you meet in heaven served as a notice that your life affected and also was affected by the life of people around you.

for his last book, entitled for one more day, it is dealt with lost love and self anger that lead to total destruction.  however, with the love of the one you loved, you could save your own life and also treasured to some extend.  sometimes you made mistakes, but it is never too late to put things back, to correct things with the one you love.. 

"have you ever lost someone you love and wanted one more conversation,
one more chance to make up for the time when you thought they would be
there forever? if so, then you know you can go your life collecting
days, and none will outweight the one you wish you had back."

this just gives me the shivers…  do I have that chance?

review of this book could be found here, written in Indonesian

does song speak louder than feeling..? :-)

March 23rd, 2007 by hafizsan

Nodame_1
that night, I realized how painful
love could be so close to you
because I know you
better than anyone else

the routine kindness
you always show me
tightens around my heart

when I gaze at you so lovingly
this close, this close..

why, oh why,
must you insist on just being friends?

no matter how strong my feelings are for you,
I can’t convey them to you

you don’t understand
I’m so in love with you

everyday, everyday,
my heart burns with pain
and so I’ve had countless,
countless sleepless nights
if only I could return to the days
when we first met

I’m so in love with you

——————————————

a theme song from nodame cantabile animation series, and somehow the lyrics just fit in me.  however, it is sung with happy expression, though..  :-)

kimi no koe

March 14th, 2007 by hafizsan

Scene035_001The colour of that faraway day
is in the white clouds
that a faded blue blurs…
Inside my heart is a pain hidden from all.

The words into which I put my all
already become distant.
In the midst of your loss,
even now, you keep me warm.

Your voice is the light that silhouetted you.
Should it materialise, I would live on,
that my voice might reach you, wherever you are.

Resounding from the sun-drenched rails
is the voice of that distant day.
Beyond those clouds, even now,
there is the place of promise.

The loneliness that persists from some time ago
is the spirit that grates me all around.
In the flow of time, I will surely lose you.

Your hair, with the world where cloud and sky have melted,
is full of secrets.
Your voice, your gentle fingers
and your wind-touched skin
will make my heart strong.

Causing my heart to quiver, even unto eternity,
is your back turned to me.
My wish is merely that I live on,
that my song would reach you, wherever you are.

Your voice is the light that silhouetted you.
Should it materialise, even though we live in different places,
I would want to, gently and resolutely, live

’nuff said. this song expresses exactly why I felt these days..

kimi no koe - theme song of ‘the place promised on our early days’

my two worlds - the animation is finished, finally :D

March 8th, 2007 by hafizsan

Scene036_021after the work started last term, around the beginning of october (for the preparation and research stages) then followed by visual stages (drawing the background) in november, making the animation drawings in the winter vacation, and finally editing and mixing process in the last week before new started, it’s finally completed.. :D

well, I’ve been putting the whole day posting the work process and behind the scene process on the multiply site.  so, just visit this page to see the complete animation work (rendered in quite low quality in wmv format to make it accessible for viewing from indonesia), then this page for the story behind the works too (but it is in indonesian language, sorry..).

and please also check the page for photos area, and look for the title begin with [my two worlds] to see the progress and images I created for that movie.

special thanks to margaret whom had very kind in giving her talented voice for the character’s monologue and to onit who also very kind to arrange the background music for the later version.. :-)

Dscn0588
Dscn0587it’s a special delivery from paris in courtesy of houari (actually, he was on a trip back from morocco that took him for a transit in paris where he asked me if I would like an edition of tintin). 

the book is in the hard cover format with good and quite glossy paper inside.  and each book came with a special bonus: a standing silhoutte of one of six characters appears through out the tintin adventures, from tintin and snowy, captain haddock, bianca castafiore, thom(p)son, prof. calculus and nestor.  so now I have a thom(p)son running on a mac G4 next to me, ha ha ha…

thanks for bringing the book, uda houhou!  now I have a genuine french edition of tintin, published by casterman :D

just check them out on my multiply’s site, here.

starwars exhibition at coex

February 9th, 2007 by hafizsan

Starwars005it was another fun trip to seoul to visit the starwars: science and art exhibition held in coex convention center in gangnam area, seoul, rep. of korea.

we went there by the four of us: me, beny, danu (indonesian friend from icu) and gyu seung (korean class mate) and had a very good time that even the three standing and walking hours we spent inside the exhibition was spent without any notice that we were THAT long..  too bad that I had to save the hard earned cash here, so I could afford to buy the genuine starwars merchandise (although the light saber is indeed TOO expensive -> 250 000 won ~ 2,5 million rupiah each..)

for the photos of the exhibition, just visit here while the resume of the exhibition (written in indonesian language could be read, here.

after took a quite long hiatus, finally I managed to put them back again..  sorry for the delay, it’d been another tough month with an approaching deadline -and too many ground to cover-, moody feelings that end up in a disaster -I lost my ‘precious’ but also happy things around: at least I sent a bday package to indonesia and another trip to seoul to see the starwars exhibition there (see the next post).

so, here they are -although mostly about the good times :-)   just click this link
