little oxford;)

hehehhee...
i haven't updated my blog for a long timee... so i thot.. what the heck!
currently im in the infamous town of oxford... attending a course to learn a hydraulic software which hopefully would be useful for my research... oxford is a really beautiful town but whats more beautiful to me is the outskirts of oxford itself... i've only been here since yesterday but i have mixed feelings about this place and its people... hehehhee.. they are really different from the townspeople where everyone else was busy with their own businesses and cudn't care less about the happenings around them... but then in little oxford as i wud like to call it... everyone i walked passed by seems to at least smiled at you as a greeting or said hi and hello... even the painter i met on the streets ;)... i know its common for the english to be saying hi and hello's in daily lives... but there is this feeling of sincerity that i hadn't felt before... everyone was friendly inclusive of the bus driver! ;)... when travelling alone these things really does matter to you!... hehehehe
the place where im in is about half an hour bus ride from the oxford town itself... it is a really rural area i suppose since it has bus stops made of woods..... i travelled on foot when i initially came here and it did seem scaryyyyy when all the while you walked.... there was only a vast of nothingness.... and no civilisation within your view... at somee point... there was only thick hedges soo tall that you can barely see anything beyond it on either side....
i preserved and walked straight on... despiteee the dreadful feeling of eerienesssss....
anywayss... i had much fun learning the course and travelling to the suburbs alonee.. aahahaha...
this bnb place where im staying is also a very cosy place... the only problem with it was it wasss a little too english in everyway..... and had me thrown off at timess..
heheehhee.. for instance... i hate rose smelling-anything.... and this english bnb room is filled with rose smelling things.. room-spray... potpourri and even the towels smelled of roses... the only place rose-free was the hallway where it was nicely decorated with lavender smelling things!
ahahhahahaha... i seriously felt like sleeping in the hallway:P
next - all the shampoos and conditioner (which by the way they had plenty to chooose from) all smelled of fruits... passion-fruit.. mango.. raspberries... citrus.... ahhahhahahahaha... i really do hateeeee smelling like a walking fruit... oh! i did find one shampoo that didn't smell fruity... but guess what... it smelled like a man.....
since i didn't have much of a choice.... i did the only that seemed right for me then but ended up smelling like a man-coated with raspberry conditioner! ahahahhahaha.... i know.. kill me....
other than that... i was happy... and am happy.. and i am looking forward to tomorrows course to learn how to simulate the entire network system and hopefully get an insight on the relationship between stormwater inlets and surcharge/flooding events..... i can't wait!
nwayss.. here are some pictures of the oxford town itself... i'd love to upload pics of little oxford itself... but i didn't have my camera with me while i walking today... so i'd probably have to give u a glimpse of little oxford next time then ;)... enjoy!

EpIk hiGh - faN

Oh! (Even if I can't have you)

Even if it’s only in my mind(Even if I can't touch you)

Even if it’s only a meaningless dream(Even if I can't talk to you)

Even if I hide and watch from far away(You know I do)

I love you(Even if you don't know who I am)

Oh baby don't you know, you don't even know my name

I spend my sleepless nights gazing at you

Oh so beautiful, your solo picture clutched in my hand

The heartbreak of my crazy love buried in the cheers of the world

You’re not even listening, you wouldn’t even know if I died

Even in your next life you will live without knowing who I am

I want you so bad and it’s too late to turn back

Even tonight I want to kiss you so I clutch my pillow tight

Today is our first meeting right?

Only you have this sort of dialogue

Again today I talk to your retreating figure

It’s always the same thing but still I give a nervous hello

Even though the whole world’s stops listening, I only need you to hear me

The further you are the hardened my heart becomes, please listen to me

Farther, and farther, fortune works wherever

Will I be able to see you? (Tell me)

Oh! (Even if I can't have you)

Even if it’s only in my mind(Even if I can't touch you)

Even if it’s only a meaningless dream(Even if I can't talk to you)

Even if I hide and watch from far away(You know I do)

I love you(Even if you don't know who I am)

Darling, why are you not smiling today?

It would be nice if it was not a big problem

I couldn’t look at your face filled with anxiety

It would be better if I was in pain but the impossibility of that brings regret

Hold me, the one who could respond to your question of “how are you?”

Can’t come close, can’t touch, you’re the one I can’t hold

I’m going to go meet you tonight in my dreams

Even if in my dreams everyone ridicules my love

Even though everyone says I am crazy and the entire world disappears

Babe you belong to me, but why are the worthless multitudes talking you away?

No, there is no way.

I’ll make you see only me

I’ll give you everything,

I’ll make your lips meet mine,

I’ll go get the world and give it to you

I’ll make it so you can never leave me,

I’ll keep you in my sunken heart

You are My star, I’m your no.1 fan

Baby please, take my hand

Boys and Girls in a crazy love say oh! oh! oh!

Boys and Girls in a stupid love say oh! oh! oh!

Boys and Girls in a meaningless love say oh! oh! oh!

Boys and Girls in a love like mine say oh! oh! oh!

김동률 - 아이처럼 (Kim DonG RyuL - A-i cHoRom/ Like a CHiLd)

사랑한다 말하고 날 받아줄 때엔
더 이상 나는 바랄게 없다고
자신있게 말해 놓고
자라나는 욕심에 무안해지지만
또 하루 종일 그대의 생각에 난 맘 졸여요

샘이 많아서(아이처럼)
겁이 많아서(바보처럼)
이렇게 나의 곁에서 웃는게 믿어지지 않아서
너무 좋아서 너무 벅차서
눈을 뜨면 다 사라질까봐 잠 못 들어요

주고 싶은데(내 모든걸)
받고 싶은데(그대 맘을)
남들처럼 할 수 있는 건 다 함께 나누고 싶은데
맘이 급해서 속이 좁아서
괜시리 모두 망치게 될까봐 불안해 하죠

웃게 해줘서(아이처럼)
울게 해줘서(바보처럼)
이런 설렘을 평생에
또 한번 느낄 수 있게 해줘서
믿게 해줘서 힘이 돼줘서
눈을 뜨면 처음으로 하는 말
참 고마워요

내게 와줘서
꿈꾸게 해줘서
'우리'라는 선물을 준 그대
나 사랑해요...

I was happy during all those times with you..
but it must've been hard for you...
It's not like I didn't know your feelings..
I felt it too but..
Letting you go, letting you go is not something that I'm used to
I despise you for having no choice but to do so

Why didn't you say anything?
Or couldn't you?
Didn't you think of me at least a little?
If you like me,
if you love me,
why did you say those things if you were going to end it like this?

Do I have to hate you?
Or am I supposed to blame myself?
If only I can turn back time
I just want to go back to before

Fine, I won't ask anymore
If you want to leave me, go without turning back
I won't shed any tears because that'll just make my heart weaker
I can faintly see you going farther away--
tears must be in my eyes

I think I will despise you a lot
I have to endure it so I can forget
I won't do anything like love ever again
I wanted to give my last love to you who turned away
I hope you are happy
I hope you meet someone better than me.....
