My NEW SONG ‘AKAN’ … (check out the lyrics)
Yes … I just got back from my SPORE trip .. been really tiring and thanks for those who came and supported me .. especially those that actually went to all three of my promo, you guys were great!!! it made my trip really2 worthwhile … I can’t wait to come back again soon … it’s such a wonderful experience to finally meet so many of my online frens … ‘offline’ hehe …
YES, i’ve been wanting to share some good news as I’ve been practicing a new song which I’m recording now, it’s a very special song cos this song is about my life .. things which I’ve been through all my life tat made me stronger .. sometimes weaker also (hehe) but I carried on, oh .. the title of the song is <AKAN> and yes, it’s a malay-song (hehe) … so if u r reading this and you understand malay, can someone help me translate into ‘english’ language for my non-malay friends??
- AKAN -
Apakah ertinya aku dikata insan sempurna?
Maknanya aku mampu memiliki apa ku mahu
dan ku impi …
Bukan istimewa, tapi andai aku dipinggir,
Adakah kata itu datang dari benarnya?
Jangan
mengalah (Chorus)
Jangan pinggir daku
O o o o … Aku tak mahu Oh …
Getir
arena
Ku
tak putus asa
O
o o o … Buat tak tahu Oh …
Hidup ini adil …
Dan akan terjawab akhirnya …
Akan ya Oh Oh
akan akan bercahaya
Oh Oh akan akan kau berjaya
Oh Oh akan akan kau bahagia
Apakah ertinya aku dah datang, memang tiba ya,
Tetapi seluruh hadir yang ada
belum sampai ketikanya …
Jikalau itulah harga dipinta, bisa saja
Akukan beli ia dengan pantang menyerah …
This song <AKAN> is going to be featured in an inspirational new campaign to lift the spirits of young Malaysians (someone like me too) .. so when my company told me tat I am chosen to perform this song a few weeks ago i was SOOOooo happy and couldn’t wait to share wit everyone (until now), not only tat it’s such a BIG honour for me to take part .. but in many ways i feel like if my story can inspire others to stay positive, i will gladly do so …
I better go .. tomorrow i’ll be having a new photoshoot for this campaign so gotta sleep early i guess (hehe) .. will update more soon okie, in the meantime hope someone can help translate the lyrics ya @ good night …
Karen
PS: oh i will add in more photos soon okie …
Hi Karen, glad that your event in Spore was a great success.. I’ve seen the pics and video clips ur fans have uploaded and it’s really a pity that I couldnt make it!
When you mentioned about the new song in your shoutout, I was guessing that it must be some song for charity or some noble campaign.. i suppose, i’m half correct!
I’m looking forward to the release of that song… meanwhile, keep up the good work okie! Cheerio~

Hi Karen, you were great while you were in singapore! You are so lovely in person as well! And it is our pleasure to hear you sing ‘live’ too. Hope to have you back in Singapore soon! I am quite shy to talk to you when I see you in person because I think you are too lovely, so I am tongue-tied.
Please rest well and be ready to take on all the new challenges that you will be facing as you embark on this journey. You have a bright career ahead of you! Jiayou, and I know you will stay positive to see yourself through everything. Be an inspiration to others, Be Yourself! I will be behind you.

Ei karen hi!
hi i like your personality so much, i guess you’re kinda bubbly too.
ahm you said that your going to sing that song for a campaign to uplift the soul of Malaysians, i admire you doing such. hope i can also do it someday, dedicating a song to the youth here in my country.
anyways are you into charity works?
i am a part of an institution here, its mission is to help young people especially children to know God, how to pray and were doing a feeding program everyday to the street childrens. well its fulfilling very much. i am also studying in one of the universities here in my country, an incoming 4th yr student of psychology.
i hope i can be your friend even only here online. it’s nice knowing a good soul.
i’ll pray for your success and health.
well i advice you not to tire yourself too much, take care always and dont forget God. be thankful for all the blessings that He has given you.
bye friend and Godbless!

Blur Edison said this on May 2, 2007 at 11:23 am
hey karen..this is my attempt to translate the lyrics for the song..if i made any mistake in the translation,pls highlight for me ..thanks…
what is the meaning of me being said to be a perfect person?
it means that i can have what i want and what i dream of….
not special,but if i’m put aside,
does it come from the truth?
don’t give up (chorus)
don’t push me away
Oooo…i don’t want..Oooo
getir arena(sorry i really dont know how to translate this)
i never give up
Oooo..i pretend i don’t know Oh..
this life is fair….
and will be answered at the end…..
yes,it will oh oh will will shine
oh oh will will you succeed
oh oh will will you be happy
what does it mean i’ve arrived, surely reach ya
but those who are present
havent reached their end yet…
if that’s the price to pay
let it be
i have already bought it with
(pantang?) surrender..
really sorry for the bad translation..
Zul said this on May 2, 2007 at 11:26 am
Use “never” for pantang.
So make it “never give up”.

- AKAN – Will/ About to
Apakah ertinya aku dikata insan sempurna?
- What does it mean that I’m said being perfect?/I’m complete.
Maknanya aku mampu memiliki apa ku mahu dan ku impi …
- It means that I can own whatever I want and dream of…
Bukan istimewa, tapi andai aku dipinggir,
- It’s not special but what if I’m set aside.
Adakah kata itu datang dari benarnya?
- Do the words come from the truth?
Jangan mengalah (Chorus)
- Don’t give up!
Jangan pinggir daku
- Don’t put me aside./Dont neglect me.
O o o o … Aku tak mahu Oh …
- Ooo… I don’t want Oh…
Getir arena
- Bitter arena.
Ku tak putus asa
- I’ve hold on to./Stayed on.
O o o o … Buat tak tahu Oh …
- Ooo….Pretend to ignore… Oh…
Hidup ini adil …
- Life is fair…
Dan akan terjawab akhirnya …
- and you’ll be enlightened in the end…
Akan ya Oh Oh akan akan bercahaya
- And yes… oh oh… and yes, it’ll shine. /And yes… oh oh…it’s about to shine.
Oh Oh akan akan kau berjaya
- Oh oh… yes you’ll succeed./ Oh oh… you’re about to succeed.
Oh Oh akan akan kau bahagia
- Oh oh… and yes you’ll be happy./be blessed.
Apakah ertinya aku dah datang, memang tiba ya,
- What does it mean that I’ve come, and I arrived?
Tetapi seluruh hadir yang ada belum sampai ketikanya …
- But some of those who are present, have not reached yet.
Jikalau itulah harga dipinta, bisa saja
- If that’s the price requested, just accept it/that.
Akukan beli ia dengan pantang menyerah …
-and I’ll buy it without surrendering.

—————————–
Accually this is a good song and it is refer to somebody who feel empty in his/her life.The 1st verse “Apakah ertinya aku dikata insan sempurna? Maknanya aku mampu memiliki apa ku mahu dan ku impi …” It have a question and a statement.But, you must know what is “sempurna”.Perfect.That verse it refer to ‘How perfect are you?’.The verse “Maknanya aku mampu memiliki apa ku mahu
dan ku impi …”.This is a statement for the word Sempurna.And how “Sempurna” are you?Yes, you and all have a brain to think how can I get what I want and what I dream about it.
“Bukan istimewa, tapi andai aku dipinggir,
Adakah kata itu datang dari benarnya?”
This 2nd verse can be a statement can be a question to itself.Its just say, ‘if you been ignore if you’re not special, is that come from the right way? And if that true, is it come from the right way?Come from what we think?Is that you expect it?
“Jangan mengalah (Chorus)
Jangan pinggir daku
O o o o … Aku tak mahu Oh …”
This is refer to 2nd verse.That’s mean you must never give up and never give it to the faith only.You must to fight even you still don’t want any bad happen to you.Becouse you are perfect.
“Getir arena
Ku tak putus asa
O o o o … Buat tak tahu Oh …
Hidup ini adil …
Dan akan terjawab akhirnya …”
Getir arena is refer to tight competition.This verse is just mean ‘this is tight competition but I never give up.Just ignore them.This life is fair.And the answer will be find soon.
Akan ya Oh Oh akan akan bercahaya
Oh Oh akan akan kau berjaya
Oh Oh akan akan kau bahagia
Akan is will.Cahaya is a light.But it is refer to bright. “Oh Oh akan akan kau berjaya
Oh Oh akan akan kau bahagia “–> this is a statement for the bright.You will be success and live happily ever after.
“Apakah ertinya aku dah datang, memang tiba ya,
Tetapi seluruh hadir yang ada
belum sampai ketikanya …
Jikalau itulah harga dipinta, bisa saja
Akukan beli ia dengan pantang menyerah …”
This verse is really hard to understand.Who is aku (me)?What is it? This statement can be a successful in life.But it is still incomplete.If you want it flawless, the price is very expensive and you must ‘never give up’(pantang menyerah) if you want to get it.Just like, you will get if you’re strong in all way to get that.Flawless victory.
Some good motivation it was.Maybe but to me, the song just say like that.Thanks for reading this.

Here is the translation of your song “AKAN”, hope I get it right. If there’s a mistake, please forgive me. But I’ll try my best, just for you:
- Will -
What does it mean people say I’m a perfect person. The fact I could have what I want and dream of…
It’s not a special thing.
If I were on the side, will the words still become true?
Don’t give up
Don’t put me aside
O o o o … I don’t want to Oh …
In a hard time
I never put off faith
O o o o … seems don’t understand
Life is fair …
And will have the answer at last …
Will… yes oh oh will and will be shining
Oh oh… will and will you be glory
Oh oh will and will you be happy
What does it mean I have come, yes I am here,
But for all who are here
haven’t got to the end …
If it’s worth to try, can be…
I will try my best to succeed

This is my take on the translation, I don’t think it’s quite right though
- Will -
What Does it Mean that I’m a perfect person?
It Means I can have what I want
and I dream..
Nothing special, but if I’m on the outside
Would that word sounded true?
Don’t Give Up
Don’t set me aside
O o o o.. I don’t want to Oh..
It’s a difficult world/place
I’m not giving up
O o o o.. I don’t know how Oh…
Life is just
And Answers will come soon
Yes, will, Oh Oh, will will shine through
Oh Oh You will will come through
Oh Oh You will will be happy
Does it means I’ve come, oh I’m arrived
But for all who are here
Haven’t got to the end
if it that’s what needed, it can be
I will try my best to succeed

- AKAN -
Apakah ertinya aku dikata insan sempurna?
what is the meaning of me being said as a perfect being
Maknanya aku mampu memiliki apa ku mahu
the meaning is that i’m afford to own everything i want
dan ku impi …
and i dream..
Bukan istimewa, tapi andai aku dipinggir,
not special, but lets say i’m on the edge
Adakah kata itu datang dari benarnya?
does those words come from its truth??
Jangan mengalah (Chorus)
dont give up
Jangan pinggir daku
dont side me
O o o o … Aku tak mahu Oh …
i dont want
Getir arena
bitter arena
Ku tak putus asa
i didnt give up
O o o o … Buat tak tahu Oh …
acting like i dont care
Hidup ini adil …
this life is fair
Dan akan terjawab akhirnya …
and will be answered in the end
Akan ya Oh Oh akan akan bercahaya
yes it will.. it will brighten up
Oh Oh akan akan kau berjaya
you will succeed
Oh Oh akan akan kau bahagia
you will be happy
Apakah ertinya aku dah datang, memang tiba ya,
what is the meaning of me coming, surely arrived
Tetapi seluruh hadir yang ada
but all present who has
belum sampai ketikanya …
have not reached at the time
Jikalau itulah harga dipinta, bisa saja
if that is the price asked for, its easy
Akukan beli ia dengan pantang menyerah …
