A bit Jazzy about this song.
No doubt, it is well written. I admire artistes who can compose songs different from the Jay's (Jay Chow) style. Many artistes like to imitate the JC's move and it makes us think that the whole chinese music industry is dominated by a sole taiwanese music artiste.
I guess people just like it J. Does anybody do David Foster for a change?
Anyway, this is one of the Wayne's Highly Recommended hits. Enjoy folks!

Sliced Pork with Onion Gravy
Came out with another new idea of cooking pork.
First, the pork must be seasoned with a pinch of salt and black pepper on both sides of the slices.
It is then grill on a flat pan until it is cooked.
Prepare some sliced onions and spring onions and fry them until you can smell the aroma.
Pour in the mixture of ketchup, oyster sauce, honey and salt and stir together with the onions for 2 minutes.
Serve the pork slices together with honey onion gravy and fresh carrots.
Sounds easy? You should try it!

Trip to Sungai Petani
Back from Sungai Petani (SP).
My first sight gave me an impression of a slow development in this district, which is made up of new residential areas and a slight increase in factory and company establishment. The new local government should work harder to turn SP into a modern hub to attract more people to work to battle recession. If more vacancies are offered, there will be more people reallocating to this place, and this will help to overcome the unevenly distributed population at a few major cities like Penang and KL. I really hope that I could move there if I were offered a place to work. I would definitely do my best to make SP a better place - the paradise second to Heaven.
After so many times of invitation and finally I have made up my mind to pay Daniel a visit in SP over the weekend. Although it wasn't a trip because most of the time were spent in the church, but I would say that I really enjoy accomplishing something meaningful. At least I know that I get to know Daniel better after years of separation. It's all about brotherly sharing again this time. We hit the incredible 5 hour sharing until 5 in the morning.
The next day with barely a 4 hour sleep, we skipped breakfast and went straight to Daniel's church (Grace Methodist) to conduct a physics tuition class for the 4th formers. It didn't take me quite long to comprehend some of the forgotten rules and laws in physical science, before I made my way to the whiteboard to draft my "first lecture". To my surprise, the kids love my teaching. Before going off, they even asked me where I can be reached for problems and when I will be doing my next class. Saddening for them to know that I was only visiting and will be leaving on the next day. But I really hope to go back one day to finish what I have started. It is not only my passion to teach but also my passion to see the kids, who didn't want to study initially, find themselves rooting more into the subject. I guess this is what God wants to see in us, as well, to be excellent in spirit.
I attended 2 services at my first and second day of my stay. The first service was in Mandarin. It's very lively in terms of its praise & worship and the Words. You can actually see how the people in the church responded to the message. I discovered that majority of the Christian dare not express their view of agreement when the Word of Righteousness is proclaimed in the sermon. The adults, inclusive of the senior citizens, were responding so well to the message as they were shouting to the air with agreement. To make the statement more astonishing, half of them are not highly educated. The fact is, they have been relying on the strength of the Lord for His wisdom, so that they may have a joyful and livelier life, even though they don't make much of their earnings with their jobs. They really earn my respect on this.
I blended in quite well with the Youth during the Youth service. Clear observation tells me that the youths in rural area are different from the youths I met in city. The youth in the city churches won't talk to me if they are not familiar with me and more and more of them are having their own clicks. That's why some of the visitors to the city churches might feel unwelcome due to a cold welcome from the authorities. Conversely, it is more welcoming when I was in Daniel's church. The youths were offering to buy me dinner because I had to wait for Daniel to debrief his church leaders after the service. Some of them even took their initiative to arrange transportation for me without knowing that I would be following Daniel home. One thing which surprises me is that they don't really know me not have I met them through introduction, but still they were willing to spend time making their visitor feels like home.
Kudos to Daniel and his church. I think he has sacrificed more than anybody else to build up the church and the youth. I believe the youth will be ready after their secondary school to serve outside their primary church. May God bless them abundantly.
It is really an eye opener over the weekend. I am hoping to see more surprises and witness more transformation on my second trip to GMC.

God is ahead of us
1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 "I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, 'You shall not cross the Jordan.' 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, "Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
-Deuteronomy 31:1:8 -
This command was passed down to the Israelites from Moses during the hand over of power to Joshua, the son of Nun.
The Israelistes were preparing themselves to cross the Jordan river to take possession of the land promised by God to their forefathers. Primary intelligence gathered by the spies illustrated that the land was pre-occupied with fierce and vicious aliens, who owned extra advantages in their physical construct when it comes to battle and war.
Moses who was, at that time, old and senile brought forth the message to his people that he might not be able to lead the people anymore into the battle to claim possession of the promised land. But he knew perfectly well that God will prevail and he undoubtedly passed down the message of God that The Lord will cross over ahead of the Israelites and they will take possession of the enemies' land soon after(v.3).
In verse 3 and 7, there is a special anointing from God to Joshua, a man of great Faith, allowing him to join battle with God (great commission) and to be the first to cross the river ahead of the rest of the Israelites. The punchline of this verse remind us to have faith in God. The Lord will be ahead of us in reality and in the present, for the various challenges that might seem insurmountable, or even sometimes, getting out of hand.
God may just want our allegiance and obedience for a return of an abundant blessing. And to have Faith is the only way to live and grow in God's spiritual realm.
5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
The Lord further reassured the Israelites with with the statement in v.5-6 that He will go to the battle with them and will not forsake them as they charge themselves with the courage God has emboldened them. This statement is also a reassurance for us who are living in the world of suffering and tyranny.
Therefore, be strong and still in God because only the man who has these qualities will be commissioned for God's mighty works. Fear not the obstacles but fear God for He has made way for perfect resolution. HE is always ahead of us, even long before the obstacles strike us as He is the way to all problems.

中秋节
月亮圆，月亮圆，月亮照在我的家...
当我远在英国时，根本感受不到中秋的气氛。
有时还想着，到底英国的月亮有没有我家乡的圆？
已经四年没有庆中秋了，今年的中秋节特别有感触。
记得小时候有着灯笼提，还绕屋旁走，好不快乐。
想不到今年的中秋，又让我回想当年的同乐。
就因为我有一些幼小的表弟妹，嚷着要提灯笼，所以我妈特地的买了很多的纸灯笼，准备今晚来点亮我祖屋。
灯笼在月光下闪耀着
被挂在树苗的灯笼
中华的象征
树枝挂满了灯笼
其中的两个较漂亮的挂饰
中秋节当然少不了月饼。有我爱吃的单黄豆沙！
咦，谁在偷吃月饼？小 G-ROFF 被抓包了。
怎么没有和朋友分享呢？
G-ROFF：因为月饼太好吃了！
好啦，大家一起来分享吧！
除了吃月饼之外，为各位带来一首动感的"跟着月亮慢慢走".
中秋节快乐！

Chicken Curry
Decided to cook again today.
According to my calculation, it's been 8 months since i last cooked my favourite Chicken Curry dish.
There is not a single problem trying to get all the ingredients that i need in Penang if i need to compare the availability of the ingredients and herbs when i was in the UK.
I noticed that British only use limited herbs to cook their meals. Or sometimes, they are just being contented having fast food.
I like all these junk food but i am sure it will burn a big hole in my pocket. That makes me more willing to simply cook and eat at home.
Here you go again, another nice dish to ease my starvation.
I am kind of addicted to eating the violet cabbage. Probably because of its colour which improves my appetite.

Chicken Fillet with Cabbage
Suddenly thought of cooking something today.
Nothing special on my menu. The idea just sprouted like that when i was still fetching ideas from my little brain.
The product of this dish may seemed to look a bit like what you can find in the western menu but i assure you that it is of the chinese's.
The ingredients for this dish.
Yum yum...let's dig in.

李圣杰- 擦肩而过
A sentiment.
The MTV tells of a guy who wanted to show this girl his love after a long admiration.
This girl doesn't seem to have given up yet in her current relationship even she was hurt numerous times by her current partner.
And so, this guy is crying out to the girl hoping that she can leave the soberness and turn to him as he offers warmth and care.
Well, if you switch the voice of this guy to the voice of Jesus, what can you find?
Jesus is offering the same thing to us. What we need to do is to leave our past and follow him. He brings joy and happiness that no one can ever offer.
Next time when you listen to this song, remember the sweet voice that's calling you always - the voice of Jesus.

Anwar - Road to Parliament
A great fight took place in Permatang Pauh yesterday as our former DPM took his first steps toward the gate of parliament.
The by-election was announced a roughly a month ago, together with its nomination day before the actual date of the election.
The campaigns rolled off hot for 10 days as both parties sped to the vicinity of their constituency to secure as much votes as they could from the residents.
And eventually, what the people of Malaysia have hoped for, came true last night. Anwar emerged as winner with a majority of 15,000 votes over his challenger Arif Shah. He is likely to be sworn in as the Member of the Parliament in the House of Representative tomorrow.
Things will eventually come to an order in Malaysia. Victory is always with God as He prevails.
It's a definite thought for me to see transformation in Malaysia. As a christian, i believe God has His own timing on the designated person He places in our country.
The condition might not have to be as unendurable as we have to change the leadership of the country. In another context, I believe the triumph claimed by Anwar will serve as a warning to the habitually indolent.
Sadly, the Separation of Powers for the Parliamentary Government doesn't serve much purpose. The establishment of the 3 branches of the government, namely Executive, Legislative and Judicial is meant to ensure no crossing of power among the branches (especially Executive)that will bring about absolute dictation.
For the better and just governance, I hope Anwar will deliver a boost to the parliamentarians to maintain good service to the people of the nation.

劉德華 - 歸宿
我承认我自己不是个感性的人。
这一首歌却带给了我一丝丝悲伤， 让我流露出感性的一面。
女人本该找个好归宿，可是要找对的，有如海底寻针。
[归宿]这首歌写下了爱的执著。
爱是无条件，无界限的为所爱付出。
恋爱时掉以轻心，将会伤致他人的心。
往往等到爱恋已成过去， 人才会懂得珍惜，领悟。
种种错误的表现，将为爱情添上等号。
由刘德华亲自挥手制作，[归宿]献给各位女性朋友。
詞：劉德華
曲：吳建億
不想看到你哭 找個人傾訴 毋用隱藏無助
愛傷人的欄目 淚水的溫度刺骨 已無法復甦
是故意 是疏忽 也是對愛的一種汙辱
真心有苦 癡心有毒 該不該早一點結束
是墳墓 是歸宿 不要走到最後才清楚
為愛而哭 不是錯誤 痛的領悟 總有人不會在乎
受傷的人別哭 就聽我傾訴 你我逆地相處
太一樣的感觸 輸了就心服口服 從不會忌妒
是故意 是疏忽 也是對愛的一種汙辱
真心有苦 癡心有毒 該不該早一點結束
是墳墓 是歸宿 不要走到最後才清楚
為愛而哭 不是錯誤 痛的領悟 總有人不會在乎
是故意 是疏忽 也是對愛的一種汙辱
真心有苦 癡心有毒 該不該早一點結束
是墳墓 是歸宿 不要走到最後才清楚
為愛而哭 不是錯誤 痛的領悟 總有人不會在乎

The Begin of the Devastating Day
Yesterday was the first day of the 7th Month of the Lunar calendar.
Chinese people believe that the 7th month is an eerie month especially the 15h day of the month. It is said that the Taoism form of Hell will allow hungry ghosts to enter our world for their annual feast. In order to prevent from encountering the ghosts, Chinese Taoist will try not to go out late at night. For the next 15 days until 8th month, fellow Taoist will be praying for their ancestors and family members who have deceased, hoping to beg for forgiveness and to avoid paranormal disturbance.
26 years ago on the first day of the 7th month in the Lunar calendar, a boy was born to this world.
He used to be a small bully because most of the family members were intimidated by his brutal act. This boy seemed to get a lot of attention from his family and they will try their best to fulfill his needs or he will cry his way to a threatening pitch.
Now the scary part of this boy is, he is sitting in front of his laptop writing his blog entry now. Wooo....*cold wind*
Alright everybody can stop screaming now. It is the big bully's birthday yesterday. Cannot believe that he is 28 according to a calculation in a chinese way. I feel weird waiting for my 26th birthday and i have just celebrated my 28 chinese birthday. Oppss...did i just say my birthday? That's past tense for the big bully description. Believe it or not, i am a lovely young man now. Yes you may go ahead vomit...Lol...
Didn't hold a huge celebration but my cousins came over to my house for a small party. We talked until 4.00 in the morning until our tiredness shut us down. I really enjoy sharing with my cousins and friends. Really miss the moment in Leeds and the sharing from friends. I had a phone conversation with Yv today and she makes me miss Leeds even more. I couldn't make it for her gathering this time in KL and I will definitely miss the companionship of her, Will and Chrissie as cell group members.
When will i be back in Leeds again? May my birthday wish come true.

五月天 - 小太陽
Finally, managed to get this song from Youtube. A nice song from a brilliant band.
詞曲﹕阿信
編曲﹕五月天
多麼難忘 是你純真的模樣
突然的吻 瀰漫著茶香
多麼嚮往 夢想總是在他方
你說等我 不管多漫長
你就是太陽 蒸發了彷徨
所以挖開土壤 種下希望 離開了故鄉
看著你的眼眶 忍著淚 閃著光
我會很快回來 繼續我們 未完的天堂
看著你的臉龐 微笑著 要我去闖
你的盼望 是我握在手中 小小的太陽
念念不忘 此刻應該是農忙
如畫風光 有你在歌唱
你就是太陽 照亮了方向
你讓地球旋轉 月亮發光 讓我有翅膀
詞曲﹕阿信
編曲﹕五月天

如畫風光 有你在歌唱
你就是太陽 照亮了方向
你讓地球旋轉 月亮發光 讓我有翅膀

梁靜茹-會呼吸的痛
Another lovely song from Jasmine Leong.
梁靜茹-會呼吸的痛
作詞：姚若龍 作曲：宇恆
在東京鐵塔 第一次眺望
看燈火模仿 墜落的星光
我終於到達 但卻更悲傷
一個人完成 我們的夢想
你總說時間還很多 你可以等我
以前我不懂得 未必明天就有以後
想念是會呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落
哼你愛的歌會痛 看你的信會痛
連沈默也痛
遺憾是會呼吸的痛 它流在血液中來回滾動
後悔不貼心會痛 恨不懂你會痛
想見不能見最痛
沒看你臉上 張揚過哀傷
那是種多麼 寂寞的倔強
你拆了城牆 讓我去流浪
在原地等我 把自己捆綁
你沒說你也會軟弱 需要倚賴我
我就裝不曉得 自由移動 自我地過
想念是會呼吸的痛 它活在我身上所有角落
哼你愛的歌會痛 看你的信會痛
連沈默也痛
遺憾是會呼吸的痛 它流在血液中來回滾動
後悔不貼心會痛 恨不懂你會痛
想見不能見最痛
我發誓不再說謊了 多愛你就會抱你多緊的
我的微笑都假了 靈魂像飄浮著
你在就好了
我發誓不讓你等候 陪你做想做的 無論什麼
我越來越像貝殼 怕心被人觸碰
你回來那就好了
能重來那就好了

Saved by the call
Saved by a call today when I was on the edge of boredom.
A call not from God but from two long lost friends. They used to be close friends of mine when I was studying in INTI College. Ah Bao went to Leeds with me and Bryan left to Canada. Both of them have been working for some time before they came back to Penang for holiday. Less than a month and they will be leaving back to the place where they had their first degree to pursue a Master degree in their respective fields.
Right, back to main topic. They invited me to join them for dinner in Gurney Plaza. Had this super expensive Kim Gary (don’t know how to spell it). After dinner, Ah Bao suggested a movie to fill the time for the rest of the evening. So we went for Batman – The Dark Knight.
The movie is not brilliant. It is lengthy and horrifying. Overall review of the movie, I rate it as one of the frightening ones. The threats came like tides. As if it is never ending. Normal people with bad heart condition will easily get heart attack. With the magnifying effect of the surround sound in the cinema, it surely can trigger a shock. I guess I will just treat this as an exercise to my cardiac muscles. Although the movie does not give me much satisfaction, watching it with friends is worthwhile.
Soon after I reached home after the movie, I received an offline message from another long lost friend – C Keat. No wonder I had six sense of him coming back to Penang this morning. Anyway, he is inviting me for breakfast tomorrow morning. That means my free time is occupied tomorrow…yahoo…!!! We seldom meet up after I settled down in England. This will be our first encounter after 4 years since the last gathering. He is back now for his houseman ship. There will be so much to share between us over the breakfast tomorrow. I am looking forward to that and well, at least tomorrow, my time is occupied.
Alright, need to retrieve and make time for tomorrow. Signing off…

Pancake served
I am dead broke now. Look at what I had for lunch today?
Searching for healthy source of protein and carbohydrate, suddenly it just made me hanker after pancake with muesli and fruits. Actually I didn’t crave for that but my mind was telling me that this will offer me the cheapest nutrients for the day.
Well, here you go – Pancake. I personally like to shape the pancake to the form similar to the Japanese Dorayaki(銅鑼焼き). It helps to improve my appetite…wink…
Dorayaki liked Pancake...slurp...
Not bad of a taste for these lovely pancakes and it somehow remains me about Steph’s cooking in Leeds. Will give you a glimpse of what she usually cooked for me.
Roasted Chicken with whipped potato and salad
Guess what? Mee Goreng Steph style
Inspired by Gourmet Burger Kitchen, I present you Steph styled set dinner. Good for couple who don't want to spend too much in GBK. A glass of red wine will be a perfect combination.
I wonder when can I enjoy myself like that again...

Everything is breaking down
An unlucky week for me and my family. Electrical appliances keep braking down one after another.
First, it was the refrigerator. After careful analysis, the service engineer told us that the motor overstressed. And so he replaced the old motor, which has been working for the past 10 years , to a new one.
Two days later, my dad found out that the washing machine broke down. Further scrutiny, the timer device and some other electrical control peripheral all malfunction at the same time. Needless to say, all the parts need replacement. This brings up the total service and replacement parts cost to a frightening RM400! And so again, my parents decide to purchase a new washing machine since the current one has been serving us for the past 14 years. Time to change for a better one.
The following is a funny one. How many people have encountered a spoilt electric meter? Well, I have just seen one in my house. A service man from TNB came to read my house’s electric meter today and to his amazement, the meter reading that he has just taken is the same as that of the reading he took last month. I don’t want to comment on this happy thought of mine too early because I don’t know whether they will waive last month usage from our bill. Anyway, he has called to his headquarter requesting for the meter to be repaired.
The story doesn’t end here. My mom just discovered that our electric gate failed to work after punching several times on the remote control button. I tell you, this week is very 衰 for us. Well I guess we should look at the bright side for getting new stuffs for our house. But not so bright when it comes to spending money. What to do? Sigh…

New MoDem up for network
It was just two days when i discovered that my Modem suddenly failed to detect ADSL signal from my land line. I suspected lightning during the heavy storm which damaged part of the modem circuitry.
Luckily, there is a spare USB modem which I found sitting on top of my luggage (the one that i took to Leeds). The initial plan was to throw this "trash" away as serial of trials conducted to establish the connection to the broadband failed.
But this time, the laziness to get rid of the "trash", somehow, saved me from the hassle of my time and money to get a new modem as a replacement.
The trash has surprisingly turned into what i regarded as treasure at this moment when i needed it most. It started to work after my uncle landed his Midas Touch to bridge the local area network to the broadband service.
Thank goodness my home broadband is operational. I was still wondering yesterday on how long it may take, for me to get my some other job application done with my pitiful Dial-up connection. Praise the Lord that He is always on time for rescue. Amen.

不公平
突然间发现了这一首歌。不知为什么，这一首歌就这样在我的脑海里徘徊着。
我相信爱情是公平的，尤其是上帝赐各我们的爱与情。
爱是来自于上帝，而上帝就是爱。情是上帝的邀约，而上帝就是要我们回到祂的身边。
作词者可能在她的爱情里受到了挫折，经历了孤单才形成了对情爱上的犹豫，而感不公平。
听了这一首歌之后，我们才了解，只有上帝的情与爱，才值得我们去追求。
开拓您的心，让主耶稣的爱围绕您。
不公平
走了那麼遠 發現你不在身邊
獨自走過了什麼 自己都不了解
未來的藍圖應該有你 不該只剩嘆息
只是偶爾 淚流不停
堅強的理由 只是自己騙自己
你眼中的恐懼 說什麼都多餘
付出的一切值不值得 永遠不會有答案
只有天知道我有多麼愛你
一顆心屬於一個人 在愛情裡什麼算公平
愛的深也傷的深 是不是催眠了自己
一顆心屬於我自己 愛情裡找不到公平
而當你最後選擇了逃避 我學會不公平
堅強的理由 只是自己騙自己
你眼中的恐懼 說什麼都多餘
付出的一切值不值得 永遠不會有答案
只有天知道我有多麼愛你
一顆心屬於一個人 在愛情裡什麼算公平
愛的深也傷的深 是不是催眠了自己
一顆心屬於我自己 愛情裡找不到公平
而當你最後選擇了逃避 我學會不公平
本來就不公平

Friday's
Thank goodness, it's Friday! But hey, it's not Friday yet. One more day to go and a few hours to be precise to reach the final working day of the week. Want to know why? Because I had dinner there just now.
What a minute? Dinner at Friday's? Yes, it's TGI Friday!
Thank goodness, even if it is not Friday, I get to enjoy my time with my family over there.
I didn't know it beforehand that my dad was going for grocery shopping. And the nearest shopping complex is Queen's Bay, which is only 5 minutes drive away from my house. When we were figuring out where to have dinner, TGI Friday was just along the way, so my dad requested to dine in there since both my parents haven't tried this high class "junk food" before.
The settings of the restaurant is just the same as the one back in Leeds. Since it is an American restaurant, I guess they are trying to make their customers feel like America. If not we wouldn't be having the same settings and interior design identical in both countries.
Three of us, we ordered 2 set dinner and a large mushroom soup as whole. These 2 set dinner came with two sets of appetizers: Fried Breadcrumb Macaroni Cheese Bites and Fried Squid Rings and both came with Salsa Sauce! Quite a good combination of taste. It's hard to believe that Macaroni Cheese can be fried in cubes and can be eaten with Salsa Sauce. I was so hungry that I have forgotten to take some pictures of the food. But with a good imagination, I am sure you know how good the food are.
Main course White Fish is served with lemon sauce and long beans, while the other one is Chicken Fillet served with Mozzarella Cheese and special sauce (don't know what sauce that is). How do I find the main courses? I was too busy cutting and munching that time, so forgot to slow down my pace and enjoy the food longer. But of course, with that kind of price I pay, you'll know the standard of the food and the service there.
To complete the course, we had Chocolate Malt Cake and Caramel Ice-Cream. A while since I had my last dessert before returning to Malaysia. It's never a habit of me having dessert after my meal. But after I reached the UK, the ladies started to request for desserts after every meal, which made me want to follow the culture there. You know, there is a saying: "when you are in Rome, do as the Romans do." And that was what I did, indulged myself so much on dessert and sometimes I could be craving for dessert so much, that I finished a whole 750g of ice-cream on my own within 2 days! People will be curious to find my body size unchanged. Thanks to my body for having high metabolic rate.
That's right, TGI Friday is a place to be. I wish that I could turn back the clock because the enjoyable moments are just too short and very often the moment stays. This makes me think of my next visit to TGI Friday.
Friends! Mind having dinner with me at...

Lauren Wood - Fallen
Another song intro. Suddenly thought of this song and I have decided to blog about it.
This is the soundtrack from Pretty Woman. I can remember how the story goes but it really is the song to be played when you are driving back home from work. The reason I like this song, none other but its relaxing tone. A pretty song for a pretty woman and yes it is also recommended for the lover birds. Guys you can't court without this song, you know! Haha...anyway enjoy the song.
