Mind: Retro-ism

“C’est si bon” is a popular song, sometimes also referred to by the English translation of the title, “It’s So Good”. The music was written by Henri Betti, the French lyrics by André Hornez, and the English lyrics by Jerry Seelen.

The song was popularized by Eartha Kitt in the 1954 film version of New Faces of 1952, and by Johnny Desmond. The Desmond recording was made on May 11, 1949, released by MGM (catalog number 10613), and reached #25 on the Billboard chart. Kitt’s recording was made in 1953, released by RCA Victor (catalog number 20-5358, 78rpm and 47-5358, 45rpm), and reached #11 on the Cash Box chart of best-selling records. Louis Armstrong and Yves Montand have performed the song in English and French respectively.

Kitt was born Eartha Mae Keith on a cotton plantation in the town of North, South Carolina, a small town in Orangeburg County near Columbia, South Carolina. Her mother was of Cherokee and African-American descent and her father of German or Dutch descent.

Kitt began her career as a member of the Katherine Dunham Company and made her film debut with them in Casbah (1948). A talented singer with a distinctive voice, her hits include “Let’s Do It“, “Champagne Taste”, “C’est si bon“, “Just an Old Fashioned Girl”, “Monotonous”, “Je cherche un homme”, “Love for Sale“, “I’d Rather Be Burned as a Witch”, “Uska Dara“, “Mink, Schmink”, “Under the Bridges of Paris“, and her most recognizable hit, “Santa Baby“, which was released in 1953. Kitt’s unique style was enhanced as she became fluent in the French language during her years performing in Europe. She had some skill in other languages too, which she demonstrates with finesse in many of the live recordings of her cabaret performances.

Mind: Let it be repeated

LET IT BE REPEATED

Love has consequences.

Every gestures you make has consequences.

Stories and memories.

I cry for you for the evil of absence remains in my life.

You are still the man I love, but I am too proud to speak.

I do not know, I do not know, are you able to recognise when you return.

This is the man you love, do you know, do you know?

Honest so true to see that in fact you left a desolate soul

words passing through it , life passing through it

If our paths do not cross over

Then look at them, but I was so sure we understood each and one another

I gave you the best of myself

Regrettable it shall not be repeated, our stories, our memories.

Il convient de réitérer

L’amour a des conséquences.
Tous les gestes que vous faites a des conséquences.

Histoires et mémoires.

Je pleure pour vous pour le mal de l’absence reste de ma vie.
Vous êtes toujours l’homme que j’aime, mais je suis trop fier de parler.

Je ne sais pas, je ne sais pas, êtes-vous capable de reconnaître quand vous revenez.
C’est cet homme que vous aimez, savez-vous, savez-vous?

Honnête si vrai de constater que, en fait, vous avez laissé une âme désolée
mots passant complète qu’elle

Si nos chemins ne se croisent pas sur
Alors regarde, mais j’étais tellement sûr que nous comprenions et un autre
Je vous ai donné le meilleur de moi

Regrettable qu’il ne doit pas être répétée, nos histoires, nos mémoires.

Life: Je ne sais pas

Y’a l’homme que l’on aime, et l’autre qu’on ne comprend pas si les deux sont le même, alors lequel nous restera, je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus lequel tu seras quand tu reviendras

Refrain:

Y’a pas que l’amour blesse, y’a les conséquence de certains de gestes, T’es parti. Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie, y’a pas que l’erreur qui blesse, y’a le mal de l’absence qui reste, ce pour la vie, mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.

Y’a l’homme que l’on aime, l’autre qui ne s’aime pas, qui s’endort sur ses problèmes,  trop fière ne parle pas, je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus, et deux visages pour deux images, OH non, Je ne sais pas, je ne sais plus, Comment te reconnaitre quand tu reviendras.

Refrain:

Y’a pas que l’amour blesse, y’a les conséquence de certains de gestes, T’es parti. Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie, y’a pas que l’erreur qui blesse, y’a le mal de l’absence qui reste, ce pour la vie, mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.

Y’a pas que l’amour blesse, y’a les conséquence de certains de gestes, T’es parti. Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie, y’a pas que l’erreur qui blesse, y’a le mal de l’absence qui reste, ce pour la vie, mais comment a tu pu finir ainsi.

Y’a pas que l’amour blesse, y’a les conséquence de certains de gestes, T’es parti. Ta famille pleure et la fête est finie, y’a pas que l’erreur qui blesse, y’a le mal de l’absence qui reste, ce pour la vie, mais comment as tu pu finir ainsi.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

There’s the man you love, and the other one does not understand if both are the same, so that we remain, I do not know, I do not know which you will be when you get

Refrain:

There’s that love hurts there’s the consequence of certain gestures, ‘re Gone. Your family is crying and the party is over, there’s no mistake that causes injury, there’s the evil of absence that remains this for life but how did you manage to finish it.

There’s the man you love, one that does not love, falling asleep on its problems, too proud not speak, I do not know, I do not know, and two faces for two images Oh no I do not know, I do not know, How do you recognize when you return.

Refrain:

There’s that love hurts there’s the consequence of certain gestures, ‘re Gone. Your family is crying and the party is over, there’s no mistake that causes injury, there’s the evil of absence that remains this for life but how did you manage to finish it.

Life: Paper in Black and White

This song is superbly beautiful. Although Paper may not understand the entirety of the song itself but I find it transcends words and hit me straight into the heart. Having not seen the Anime where this song comes from, since Paper only heard of it from the original album by Ayaka.

Introduced to Taitai also…who immediately fell in love with the song.

Catching up with life, Paper is having a bad bad month. Feeling in need of putting himself into a self impose seclusion. But the great news of it all is Paper is buying a new house-condo….located in the prime area of Mont Kiara. It is a beautiful house with amenity surpassing many in its grade. Price for this darling property is tad pricey with initial developer price starting at RM1.1million but still in negotiation Paper is pushing the price to go RM900thousand. Fingers Cross.

The owner of the developing company is such a sweet man. Seeing Paper for the first time he had already immediately requested Paper to take over the in house bistro for the residences. For this it has been approved and Paper will be running a small Bistro in October2009.

This time last year, Paper was in cloud9 having met and got together with Paris. But this time round life was not so kind, I can say emotionally Paper was left with deep scars and disappointments in people we trust.

So lets hope September is going to be a better month, if not be prepared for the “Loud and Abusive” rantings and raving of a close to mental breakdown PaperDrawnBoy.

This is what Paper have been up to for the last few weeks. Its birth was sudden but was worth it…., A night of Hotness for guys and girls.

Life: Wahlau Wei…

photoPaper truly can say today has been a day of laziness. But I am not complaining…this is a much needed respite from all the madness that has been going on.

The entire day Paper was just watching movie after movie with only a brief interruption from Sista Z. She wanted  to meet up for a small coffee break at Bianco, not far of a walk for me. Surprisingly the atmosphere in the Cafe was not bad….it has this quaint feeling about it.

For all this while I have noticed….Paper has never actually sit still at home, something or rather must drag me out. If there is nothing, I will somehow make the effort to find something to do. So today was a new experience, unusual but good.

The recent Wednesday was a funny little situation. Paper just finished rehersals with the male models and went off to Midvalley for dinner, by that time…Paper was so hungry I could eat a horse. But Paper did not got alone…

Paper was accompanied by WTan….he mentioned and insist during the rehersals that he wanted to have dinner, so being me….I oblige. (hey what’s the harm right) but what got me ting tong was during the journey to midvalley WTan made an outright move for me that cause Paper to go silent and blank, here all this while I thought he was straight…sort of.

Moving on, just as we arrived in Midvalley Gardens parking lot….WTan was holding my hand and being playful. And being me, I amuse his whims. Again what is the harm in that…since I am single. And slowly WTan indicated what he really wanted, so….being a cheeky bugger that I am, Paper quickly grab him. Give him a quick and memorable kiss and exited the car.

Tomorrow is another matter for the wicked. Now I ask you, If you hire services from other people you should pay them no matter how well off they are correct?? Well this particular client does not seems to get that particular memo circulating. He somehow think just because money is not an issue he has the right to delay payments that is overdue for 2 months minimum amounting to a substantial amount….

Only one simple solution. If you cannot afford the services rendered please follow accordingly to the contract then. Or just declare yourself bankrupt and I will send my lawyers to seize your assets….(which will be more embarrassing).

Work: Hard

Sometimes Paper do wonder, how inconsiderate can a person become?? Work life has become madness that Paper barely got any sleep, and I truly mean barely….four days non stop, Paper work and work without sleep.

But the result of the hard work is amazing…Paper enjoyed the event, clients all enjoyed the event and guests all enjoyed. But most important thing about the work was truly more amazing….which shall be celebrated with Champagne soon enough.

Hot guy

Moving back to the inconsiderate person, who we shall name Asshole.  Asshole was hired by a client to create something, and many things are pending from this particular client…(slow decision makers). So the reasons are clear to why Asshole was chasing Paper. Understandable.

But currently everyone knows Paper is rather busy and really have no time at all for this slow client…but this Asshole is either blur or ignorant to the fact. So he will constantly call me…which Paper keep repeating “I am busy, no time bye”. but tonight takes the liberties…how dare you call me incompetent? and how dare you threaten me!!  and most importantly have the balls to say it to my face or call for that matter than messaging me.

Incompetent?? INCOMPETENT?? ME? PAPER? if I am that….I shall not be doing what I do and most importantly shouldn’t be earning as I do.

Heart: Leave me alone, Stop asking me more

Utterly bad week and month. Paper cannot be more stressed than he is now…what are the world thinking? again I must itterate I am not super human you stupid fucks!

Leave me the fuck alone!!!

Work: Head Gone

August 6th 2009. Barely slept and was on the verge of mental breakdown. Had a fun filled evening the night before after working til 900pm, went and visited Easy to catch up on each others ongoings….and reached home by 11pm plus or so.

Later that evening, being bored to tears…was chatting to RZ who was by the way working (nuts I know) we plan to meet up late to go for abit of mamak…which we did and develop into something I can call childhood revisited. Out of all the possibilities to do that 300am we played command&conquer – wrath of kane. (I think thats the title). What fun…Paper had not play command&conquer in eon.

asian-boy-shadowsI had no idea my afternoon would of been in such stressful mood. Clients one after another calling and calling..non stop. Media owners chasing me for contracts and artwork.  I was rather dying under the intense workload…suddenly everything was needed immediately, like WTF?!

After sorting that intense moment, Paper went off over to Solaris. Had training rehearsals with the freshy models….oh goodness, I wasn’t expecting that sort of freshy though. Walking had to be trained, position of poses…looks. EVERYTHING! the entire thing actually lasted until 900pm. at that moment Paper was too mentally tired and was losing the voice abit…but thank god, dry run went well. Now Next will be the guys…wooohooo!!! here we go again!

I am not saying the entire thing was bad, there were moments I had to laugh. That was the day of Paper Drawn Boy, August 6th 2009.  Pass me my drink now…make it a strong one.

Music: Dizzee Rascal – Holiday, Agnes – Release Me, Beyonce – Sweet Dreams


Sex: “Say I wanna be with you”

It has been quite awhile since Paper updated on the scandals ongoings. Well…honestly it has been quiet of some sort, I think more like selective victimisation. While Paper may have fallen for Easy it does not mean I am a monk, I am human and have needs like most boys of mature age would have.

It was one of those days where everything seems to go smoothly. Work was done and schedule surprisingly empty, Paper had no idea of what to do until something pops into mind…hmmmm. Why not call him??  Him is someone I met randomly one weekend…Cute face, nice body….not partner material but victim material.

It was an affair that was simple in nature, We met each other late afternoon. Had the small talks followed by dinner….as I said simple affair. Random is only slightly younger than me by a few year and shy.

gay-kissing-boysBut we got along well…well enough anyways, communications at times are hard mainly due to my ignorance of the national language and only predominantly communicate in English with small smattering of local dailect of whatever.

Well, I shall not divulge what else went on….Paper shall leave that to your imagination.
