" " How does math work? Does this skin make me look fat? If a giraffe and a car had a baby, would it be called a caraffe? Life's big questions, man. " " Who needs memories when I can do all this cool stuff? Stuff that I currently am not doing! That's what I'd like to call a 'hint'. " " Does this mean I can start dancing? Pleeeeeeaaaaase? " " Ya know when there was that Vault monster scare? I had these friends, and boy times sure were scary! But, I didn't care because I had friends, and they were like... super-friends!

I am the last Claptrap in existence, AND I AM GOING TO TEABAG YOUR CORPSE! ” “ You think a door can stop me, (name)?! I was MADE to open doors! ” “ Dammit, (name) - how did you know stairs were my ONLY weakness?! Next to electrocution, and explosions, and gunfire, rust, corrosion, being kicked a lot, viruses, being called bad names, falling from great heights, drowning, adult onset diabetes, being looked at funny, heart attacks, exposure to oxygen, being turned down by women, and pet allergens! Your brilliance is matched only by your malevolence! ” “ I'm just gonna go ahead and cloak now. You can't hear me crying if I cloak! (sobbing) stairs, why did it have to be stairs? I'll never climb those stairs! ”

summary: you try to figure out Calum and his roommate, you are invited over to sort thing out

warnings: swearing

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N’s POV:

Not even an hour after your daughter oh so lovingly kicked you a total of three times, twice for you and once for her father, you were back on the subject that was stressing you out in the first place. You knew that you probably should not be freaking out as much as you currently were regarding Calum having a female roommate, but you also know Calum just a little too well to think that she was just a roommate. The fact that he was waiting to introduce her to you and Luke, and the guys obviously means he cares about her and did not want to fuck anything up. You admired how much he already seemed to care about her, but you can’t help but think that she will take away from your little family. It’s not that you care for Calum in a romantic way, but you are worried about how present he will be with all the baby stuff if he is more worried about fucking his roommate.

Luke and Calum are still bickering over the subject in hushed tones down the hall thinking that you won’t hear them because of their attempted secrecy. You can practically hear every word that is coming out of their angry whispers. You now know that Luke is advocating for Calum to be there for you and the baby by any means necessary considering he is the reason the three of us are in this current situation today and he warns Calum not to cause another “mistake” as he put it with regards to his roommate and the romantic involvement he most likely has with her.

You decide to walk even further away from that hostile environment by going into the guest bedroom and looking through some of the baby stuff you have already purchased for your daughter. You know you still have a few months until she is here, but you got started on the nursery and some other baby stuff out of pure excitement. As you organize the items in the room, your mind starts to wander. You wonder if Calum’s roommate is nice, if she is skinnier than you (which she is…considering you are four going on five months pregnant), what she is doing in LA, amongst other things. You really want to meet her just to see what she is about, but if your conversation with Calum earlier is any indication of how that conversation is going to go, you might not get the option of meeting her. You shake your head, hoping the thought you just had would get out of your head quicker that way, and you continue to sort through the pile of baby things you have accumulated throughout this pregnancy thus far.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luke’s POV:

“Well, are you at least going to let them meet each other?” you ask Calum blatantly. You already know what he is going to say, but you want to hear it come from his mouth again for shits and giggles.

“I don’t know yet,” Calum replies, “it’s a lot to figure out and I don’t necessarily need an angry pregnant lady on my hands.”

“Dude, you are sooooo past that,” you respond, knowing Y/N fairly well yourself and easily identifying what makes her tick, “it would be easier on your part to just let Y/N meet RM/N. That way she will know who may be a part of your daughter’s life, if things are really getting as serious as you claim they are.”

“I know…but I just don’t want her to barge into my house and ask to meet RM/N right then and there. I know I have kind of kept her from you guys for some time, but it wasn’t for nothing. I really do care about her…probably way more than is healthy for a normal human being but whatever. I just don’t want Y/N to feel abandoned on replaced or anything like that. I am going to be here for her and the baby and anything the two of them ever need or desire…” Calum trails off after rambling on for a while.

You understand where he is coming from, but you also could not relate entirely to his situation. You have had feelings for Y/N for a while, but she was never a secret from the other guys. In fact, the first time you met Y/N was when you were with the other three, grabbing coffee from a nearby coffee and bookshop that Calum insisted all four of you check out because it was going to be his new hang out as he was moving into his newly purchased house. But you surely know what it feels like to love someone with every inch of your being and you could tell Calum felt this way about RM/N just by the way he was talking about her and the worry he had on his face when he found you sitting in his living room talking to her the night before.

“Just promise me you won’t fuck with Y/N’s emotions any more than you already have with this baby hormone shit she is currently dealing with…and please allow them to meet soon if not tonight because if you make her wait any longer she is going to go crazy imaging the worst things possible,” you explain to Calum, hoping he understand the severity of the problem he has created and how it will impact Y/N and the stress she is inevitably going to put on the baby because of this peculiar situation.

He nods in response as the two of you have finally completed your conversation that consisted mainly of hushed angry whispers and a lot of disapproving glances that the two of you exchanged in the past few minutes. You head back into the living room, assuming that Calum was going to take the reins on this next conversation the three of you were about to share regarding the predicament at hand.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Calum’ POV:

You really got yourself into quite a jam now. Obviously, you expected that Y/N and RM/N would meet one day, but you weren’t necessarily expecting it to be today. You shoot your roommate a quick text to warn her that some friends were coming over before you explain the game plan to Luke and Y/N. This was not a soccer match with plays and positions, but you went about it the same way since there were a lot of obstacles and touchy subjects you had to dance around once you reached your house and those who are inside of it. There will have to be a delicate balance between both the timeline of things and the whole “oh yeah, she’s pregnant” type of thing. You are worried about the outcome of your two worlds colliding, but you also know it is now or never.

“How about we head to my house so everyone can meet everyone else?” you suggest, hoping that Luke and Y/N will comply and follow you to your house to let this all unfold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y/N’s POV:

Luke is driving the two of you to Calum’s house as you mess with the aux cord and what songs you were going to play for your short drive. It took maybe 15 minutes to get from your place to Calum’s which gave you enough time to play three or four songs. You spent a while picking which songs you were going to que up, wanting to get your point across about your current back and forth romantic situation with Luke. You did not want to come off as desperate, but now that you know that Luke knows that you and Calum are not romantically invested in one another maybe that means that he will finally make a move. After some careful consideration, you decide on playing If I’m Lucky by State Champs. You felt a little awkward playing a song by a band that Luke and the guys have toured with before, but you hope that Luke just appreciated you filling the silence of his car with some decent music and did not waste his mental capacity on something as minute as who is singing the words you were yearning to tell him yourself but could not find the right words to articulate your message in the correct fashion.

“If you stay or if you go I’m right there with you but you know that I’m looking for more than just a pretty smile and if I’m lucky you could stay for a while but…” the song sings softly through the speakers of his car, the words as melodic as you remembered.

You did not want to force anything between the two of you, nothing works out in your favor if it was forced and you are a strong believer in everything happening for a reason, so you decide to leave the situation up to fate itself. As cheesy as it sounds, you really do not want to ultimately ruin the good friendship that you and Luke share for this whole romantic thing to not work out the way you want to. You would rather be alone forever than lose a friendship as important as Luke’s. You glance over at him a few times as the song plays to see if he is looking your way or if he is thinking intently.

You could always tell when he was thinking intently because he would unintentionally scrunch up his nose as he concentrated on whatever was on his mind and it was one of your favorite things about him. You could see a slight flicker in his eye, like he wanted to say something, but did not think it was the right time to get into whatever was on his mind at the time. You let it slide this time, hoping that the time will come when the two of you could stop dancing around your feelings and just embrace them instead. You wanted nothing more than to be in Luke’s strong arms in this moment with him whispering into your ear that everything is okay and everything is going to work out for the best, but you know that neither of you are in a position to be that way currently. You inhale and exhale slowly, accepting the fact that nothing is going to happen between the two of you right now. Maybe soon, but not quite yet.

Before you knew it the two of you were pulling into the familiar driveway of Calum’s house, where you saw the grey car that must belong to his roommate parked inside of his garage. You inhale sharply, trying to prepare yourself in any way that you could before meeting someone that could easily be the wicked witch of LA based on the information you have about Calum and his exes. Luke is by your side quicker than when he left it, slightly lacing his hand in yours as the three of you enter Calum’s place.

You haven’t been here since the night at the club, but everything seemed to be exactly where you left it, which surprised you slightly because you thought the roommate would make the place look a little less like a twenty something year old male threw some decorations here and there and called it a home. Nevertheless, you walked into the living room, gripping Luke’s hand the moment the two of you took a seat on the couch, waiting for Calum to come back from getting his roommate in order for him to introduce everyone. This all felt more awkward and forced than the Dinner Party episode of the Office and you wished for nothing more than some dumb song to distract you from the weird air that seemed to be surrounding this entire situation that Calum has put you all in.

She walks into the room with an awkward smile plastered across her face as she sits in the love seat adjacent to where you and Luke have settled for the moment, extending her hand to shake yours and formally introduce herself. She opens her mouth to speak and she allows the words to slip off her tongue with ease. 

“Nice to meet you, Y/N.”

[181117] B.A.P Forever Tour in Philadelphia - Highlight of my Life

This was really one of the best concerts I’ve ever gone to. Despite being skeptical of JSJ from the beginning, I was still willing to risk it and buy the tickets. I was debating for a while to drop $400 or not for m&g but when you think about it, it was only $30 per photo with each of the boys (+ a hat, hoodie, and whistle) so that’s HELLA worth it.  So I dropped nearly $600 for this concert but for real it was SO worth it. I was even willing to go down by bus all by myself and possibly wandering the streets of philly late at night for it but luckily was able to catch a ride! 

These two BABYz gave out numbers from the very beginning like they marked down if you were plat or baby package and in the end JSJ and fans actually honored them! It was really great cuz we were able to leave the line to go to the bathroom or get food! BABYz around me were so nice and friendly too ;u; When it was time to go in to soundcheck and for the concert, we all actually got in order! It was REALLY nice like wow thank you philly babyz!! We were let in a little late for soundcheck cuz apparently bap was doing some kind of interview?? As for soundcheck, it was sooOOOoooOOO good!!! They kinda mixed up plat and baby but oh well whatever I still got like 3rd row so *^* WOOHOO! The stage was up really high and the venue was quite small, but philly crowd’s passion was explosive and powerful!! At the beginning of soundcheck Zelo kept like peeking out from the backstage door *^* they were ODing the fog machine so you could only see silhouettes at the door sometimes OTL. Daehyun was the first to come out! He came in this big puffer jacket and had earphones and and was smiling so cutely!! That wonderful wonderful kitty smile!! OH MY HEART PLEASE HAVE MERCY!! And then the others came out! <3 Zelo was wearing like PJ pants lmao the same one he wore in that IG pic of him in the truck, jongup was wearing leather (i think.....), himchan wore the tour hoodie, and youngjae wore a long coat. BUT YEAH the first song they did was TMJ and the crowd was hella LIT!!! Like everyone was singing their lungs out and jumping and being really really excited! We all started jamming out hardcore at the very first note of TMJ and I just knew it was about to be epic. BAP was sooo happy!! They really enjoyed it as well!  And then they did DWIF and omfg daehyun was soooo cute cuz we were so loud during the OH!! part that he was like :O!!!!! and gave us two thumbs up!! The others were really happy too!! And then Zelo was controlling the crowd with his hands LOL like he was making us go side to side like a wave and then jongup was doing this weird dance too lmaooo we hyped up each other so much! It was soo much fun ;A; too bad we couldn’t record but JSJ got a ( video )~!! Like just listen to BABYz singing along at the beginning!! ( dh shocked at 0:41, thumbs up at 0:51)

We had to go back outside again after the concert and that’s when the line got a little messy since now there was also GA peeps and the sidewalk is only so big to fit like 3 different lines. But it worked out in the end and we got in order!! AND YA GIRL GOT FCKN 2ND ROW HEEEEEEEEELLLL YEAHH!! I had a GREAT view!! There was actually quite a lot of space and like NO pushing!! (except this one bishhhh but whatever that’s another story -.- i’ll delete her from my memory) But wow pit was fCKN great like wow the fanchants!! The whistles!! NO PUSHING!! LIKE WHAT WOOOW I LOVE YOU (this was an all standing venue btw). When we were waiting for the concert to start, they played a bunch of their songs and everyone was scream-singing the lyrics (well more like trying to LOL we can’t korean) We had our own bap concert with an empty stage lmaooo 

AND AHHHH BAP WAS SOOOO GOOD AT FANSERVICE!!! Himchan noticed me like several times i fucking cRy!! He looked and waved at mee TWICE and like gestured to focus on zelo for recording and taking pics when it was his part AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Like last year he saw me struggling in pit (cuz that was HELL) and looked worried I CRY and he smiled at me too huuuhuuu himchan youre a fckn angel I LOVE YOU!!! I made a half heart at daehyun and hE FCKN COMPLETED IT I WAS ABOUT TO FCKN DIE RIGHT THEN AND THERE LIKE !!!!!!!!!!!! JOngup threw so many hearts and kisses at the crowd and youngjae blew so many kisses!! They were waving as much as possible to fans and daehyun, bless his heart, kept saying thank you!!thank you!! at any chance he could get!

During Q&A, bap spent the longest time arguing about harry potter houses pmsl and then yj was just like idk i never watched it (shame on you bro) and then himchan was like EXPECTRO PATRONUM!! (nerrRRRddddd). Jongup said he was fckn Dobby like bruH thats not even a house!!! YJ was like forget this!! and said, “PASS!!” Himchan said that he was Slytherin and then jongup said that Himchan would be fkcn Snape and did this dramatic coat sweeping straightening up his back thing LOL so himchan said Jongup would be a muggle pmsl Zelo did like a broom riding imitation??? irdk.... Next question was what was your favorite song that you’ve ever made. Jongup answered Photo and sang a little of it (so then where is the studio version biiSHHHhh) but lol BABYz were like SEXY CLAP!!!!!! Youngjae pulled out a question, looked at it and was like NOPE! and put it back pmsl! The next question was what tricks can Mochii do and then youngjae was frckn like body slamming zelo and jongup lmaooo. Zelo was sooooo cute he was telling the story of how Mochii bit in all in English!! He said how he was eating and was struggling to explain that Mochii was under the table so BABYz were helping him! He said that he dropped cheese and then Mochii went to eat it but Zelo tried to stop him. Mochii bit and and then Zelo was like “ooh! bloood! my dog is ...wildlife” but the way he said blood was soo cute like the oo in moon instead of “blud”  This sweet precious boy!! His English was so good!!!! The next question was to sing happy birthday to a BABY named Jenny (wow you LUCKY girl im sooo jelly omfg). So Zelo sings her hbd really dramatically lmao and they give her their sweaty towel and Zelo gave her a water bottle too!! They’re so sweet!!!!!!! 

During their other talk segment, Youngjae was like since our tour in america, philly has been the most passionate! So we all SCREAMED and cheered like crazy! Daehyun was like hold up!! AGAIN! and went to grab a phone. He made us all scream and cheer again so he could record it. The boys kept gesturing to scream louder and more and were totally enjoying the cheers! I hope we conveyed our love for them well enough!! Also Daehyun release that footage soon pls!!! He told us we did a good job screaming lmaoo! Youngjae kept making sounds for us to repeat lmao like ooOOoooo (idk how to describe it LOL) and then was like “maestro!” when trying to silence us with his fingers like a conductor LOL but we kept screaming things LOL someone was like “this is my first kpop concert!!” so youngjae was like “sounds good!” and gave a thumbs up. Jongup also did the conductor thing hahahah Daehyun promised to come back again next year and I REALLY REALLY hope that they do!!!! 

The solos were beyond amazing. Like rewatching youngjae and daehyun’s solos made me tear up like how do such beautiful voices exist in this world? Did I really hear those ethereal voices in real life? It was sooo mesmerizing and breathtaking! Youngjae’s gorgeous baritone voice singing that smooth ballad huuuhuuu my heEArt!!! Daehyun’s heartwrenchingly beautiful voice, song, and lyrics wow let me just lie down and drown in my tears rn bYE! DaeUp’s duet was so cool, Jongup’s TML was perfect as usual, Zelo’s solo was sinful oh my those hip and that peach *blushes* it was suuuper fun and Zelo enjoyed it a LOT too!!! He lifted up his shirt!! 

THEN IT WAS M&G TIME!!! They set up the background right in front of the stage. We lined up to go in and bap was standing like: jongup, youngjae, daehyun, himchan, zelo! It was plat individual photos first, then baby group + hi-touch, then plat group + hi-touch. BABYz really went for it!! Like a lot of us got hugs! We were able to watch the whole m&g but they didnt let us have our phones out ;A; (and I also had used up all 6.5 GB of space on my phone OTL) BAP were SOOOOOOOO sweet UGH we stan literal ANGELS!!

<Pop Music> Bii- You (Cover) ZH/EN Lyrics

Okay, I know it’s been a while that I post anything. And I think this will be my first post written in English, for it will be a post of translating a Chinese song into English.

For those who are wondering, my blog will be filled with posts written in both Chinese and English-- in Chinese when I translate an English song into Chinese, and in English when I translate a Chinese song into English.

So, to start my English post, I decided to choose my favorite Taiwanese singer-Bii. Here’s what he looks like.

I know what you’re all thinking: This is a Korean!!

Well, his father is Taiwanese, and his mother is Korean. Half Korean and half Taiwanese. So, he is a... hybrid. XD

Why, then, did  I say he is my favorite “Taiwanese” singer?

That’s because he holds a Taiwanese passport. He obtained it after enlisting in the military (in Taiwan, it’s a MUST for males; an obligation). ) He doesn’t have Korean nationality (Don’t ask me. Ask the Korean law. It’s made that way. I’m gonna hold my personal comment to myself.)

Anyways, though he looks Korean, he is a Taiwanese.

As for the reason why he is my favorite... I value his talent as a singer, a composer, a performer, and just that fact that he’s a good, hardworking person. And his face, gorgeous, like a doll; his voice, like an angel; the way he sings...

Hmph... I guess I can’t mention how I got to know him. Fine, I’ll save it for the next post featuring his songs. (Oh, don’t you worry hun. I’ve got a lot of his songs translated and stocked up. \A0A/)

I cannot say much about his character without making you feel i’m biased. You could look up video clips on Youtube featuring him. 

Actually, I’ve been thinking about which songs or medley to use for introducing him to the western world. And recently he competed shortly on Singers 2019, and performed 2 songs to the audience- You and Nothing at All.

I chose You this time, saving Nothing at All , his song, for the future. One of the reasons for my choice is that I wanted to let you here him cover other singer’s songs. I mean, it is a must of a singer to perform well when singing his/ her songs, right?

But if a singer can perform well when covering other singer’s songs, then it is something else. Just think about the a Singaporean singer  JJ and you’ll see. (I have a very cool song sung by JJ translated and will post in the future. Pinky swear.)

The other reason is that I saw someone left a message asking for English translation of the lyrics under the video clip, and the translator in me could not say no to a chance like this. So, I decided to give it a go.

Okay, no more chit chat. Time to get back into the business.

You is song originally sung by Jam Hsiao, and BIi is his big fan. He covered quite a few songs of his in his concerts or other kinds of public performances.

Before the video, you’ll have to see the written lyrics first. Don’t argue. It’s like one of the most sacred rule in my translation studio.

Okay. Here are the Chinese and English lyrics:

我夢裡出現了一個你  In my dream you appeared

還陌生卻熟悉  Still strange yet familiar

還有架鋼琴一點旋律  There’s also a piano, a melody,

它讓我不想清醒  lulling me to sink deeper

怕根本這世界沒有你  I fear that you don’t exist in reality

我好像生了病  Or maybe I’m ill

再也沒回到那個夢裡  I’d never revisited to that dream

能不能再走回去  Is there any way to go back?

一個從未見過的你  You, I have never met before[AL1] 

一件從未發生過的事  This, never happened[AL2] 

一件不可能的事實  A fact, impossible[AL3] 

我要抓著你的手要對你哭  I want to grab your hand and cry,

求你别再離開我  begging you not to leave me again

想從天上摘顆星給你  I want to fetch a star for you

證明我想念你  to prove that I miss you

還有一朵雲你說好嗎  And a cloud to go with. What say you?[AL4] 

也許這樣會好吧  Perhaps we’ll be okay

一個出現在夢的你  You, appeared in my dream[AL5] 

一直從不敢相信是你  I never believed it was you

一件不可能的事實  A fact, impossible[AL6] 

我願交換我的死去  I’m willing to die, in exchange,

用靈魂 来陪你  to stay with you with my soul

感覺我不再害怕  I no longer feel scared,

卻發現我有些冰冷  yet realized I’m turning cold

每次聽的心跳聲  Every heartbeat I heard

卻也跟著黑夜無聲  becomes faint, silent, like the night

我終於能和你慢慢每一天  Finally, I can live the days with you

就算回不去這世界  Even though I can’t return to my world

決不會後悔  I’ll never regret (On second though, perhaps ‘I won’t ever regret’ would sound better?)

一個從未見過的你  You, I’ve never met before[AL7] 

卻讓我無止無境為你  But I’d do anything for you

一件不可能的事實  A fact, impossible[AL8] 

現在我不會再讓你離開我  I’ll never let you leave me again,

我們終於在一起  now that we’re finally together

一個出現在夢的你  You, appeared in my dream[AL9] 

一直從不敢相信是你  I never believed it was you

一件不可能的事實  A fact, impossible,[AL10] 

來交換我的死去  for which I’ll trade my life,

用靈魂 来陪你  to stay with you with my soul

 Below are all alternative translations that I’d thought of while translating the song. You could scroll back up and click at the relative sentences :

 [AL1]You, whom I’ve never met before

 [AL2]This, which never happened before

 [AL3]A fact, which is impossible

 [AL4]Well? What do you say?

 [AL5]You, who appeared in my dream

 [AL6]A fact, which is impossible

 [AL7]You, whom I’ve never met before

 [AL8]A fact, which is impossble

 [AL9]You, who appeared in my dream

 [AL10]A fact, which is impossible

Alright, folks. Now it’s the main dish. THE VIDEO!!!!!!

Before we get ahead of ourselves, I want to mention the effort of performers and relative party have put in the performance. And since the fact that you’re about to watch a video clip with translated lyrics, please bare in mind of the effort the translators contributed as well. I’m not bragging or anything, just stating that fact that everyone who is part of the journey should be respected. So, please don’t re-load this clip anywhere else. Thanks a lot! Xx

Get ready for his EPIC performance!!

Hint for password:singer’s name plus song’s name plus program’s name plus year (Remember to use upper cases when required...)

Okay. I know you’re speechless right now. Just like me every time I watch this clip, and every other clip that documents his performance.

The emotion... Ugh! I can’t!! TISSUE PLEASE!!!!

And don’t get me started on his skills. He’s SOOOOO GOOD <3 <3 <3

I’m too worked up (emotionally) to say anything else right now, so I’m gonna stop here.

I hope you liked my first English post!!

Now, though I try to be as native-like as possible, I am not a native speaker of English. So, if there’s anything that need rectifying, feel free to shoot me a message and let me know. Much appreciated. ^0^

Anything else to share, to chat, discuss. Feel free to do so. Not to mention if there’s anything songs that you’d like me to translate. Just give a shout out, and I’ll answer.

I’m not sure what to post next. Maybe more songs sung by Bii? Songs by other singers?

Why don’t you think about it and let me know?

Until next time, this is Amy signing off.
