An early greeting - Happy Chinese New Year! :)

This year is the horse year - my year! :D But it's wood horse though - I'm a metal horse hah!

Anyway, I'm really excited for this year coz well, I've made soooooooo many cookies and am hoping to get feedback from my relatives lol :P I'm rather proud of them. Sometimes, I do believe I should just go and become a chef ....hahaha~ a chef who specialises in cooking pastries, and baking cakes and cookies :) All the sweet stuff hehe~

Okay all those things aside, I want to wish you all a very happy and prosperous Chinese New Year. May the strength, the stamina and the resiliency of the horse year allows you to achieve your ambitions and reach greater heights. 

Btw I do not own this pic. Credit goes to the original owner of this beautiful card. 

Oh and I highly recommend watching the old cartoon movie 'Spirit - Stallion of Cimarron' in this few days when the snake year is transitioning to the horse year. :)  

Within Temptation - Roses (Hydra 2014)

A word of caution, I had a huge headache trying to figure out the lyrics to this song, so do expect plenty (and I do mean PLENTY) of errors. Don't be surprised if the lyrics make no sense in many places lol.

Anyway, feel free to add in your suggestions/corrections in the comments below. Enjoy! :)

Lyrics:
Whoa......... x5

I feel my heart explodes into particles
Love is always here and I've told you so
Restless in dreams, life carved in stone
This rhapsody's laughing in a way, I guess we all know it

Heaven held us down while we watch it flow
Heaven, can you help us? Where we can go?
Whoa~

Colour my roses/ Covered by roses
When this says it's over?
We all know our beauty were dead
The queer is over looking
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in the arms of mine and still the
Why until the end
The world have our place in time
Need to live every moment
Whoa~ whoa~

We build the castles high, tell them how deep it goes?
We take the blows apart, when we're through it all
The dawn is closing in, new tales are told
This rhapsody's laughing in a way, I guess we all know....

Colour my roses/ Covered by roses
When this says it's over?
We all know our beauty were dead
The queer is over looking
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in the arms of mine and still the
why until the end
The world have our place in time
Need to live every moment

For all.... of you...
It's like thrashing in the night
The light... raging down from the sky
The blaze afar.... has the demons... the lights
It's all beyond them all, you gotta let it go

[Child speaking: She grows with beauty. Beauty that must die. And joy. His hand is ever at his lips. His soul shall taste the sadness of her light (life?). And be a * cloudy ***.]

Colour my roses/ Covered by roses
When this says it's over?
We all know our beauty were dead
The queer is over looking
Left no words unspoken
Remember you as long as I can
Hold you in the arms of mine and still the
why until the end
The World have our place in time
Need to live every moment

[Guitar solo]

Whoa......... x4

Within Temptation - Dangerous (ft Howard Jones)

Lyrics: 
I know I won't change, I have tried
Was feeling so caged, hands tied
I can't find anything feeling so right, it's blinding hope

The Reaper is close, save a spot
A matter of time, can't deny
I won't try to run, run, run
This destiny's mine

The countdown has begun
The walls are falling down
My life is on the line
The fear is mine...

It's dangerous to sacrifice
It makes your blood run to throw the dice
It's dangerous, it's what you like
It's what you'll die for to live this life
We're going on and we'll never stop
We're going on till our worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous

I know it's not safe, close my eyes
I search for the edge of Earth
'cause that's the only place I'll ever find that makes me hope

A thief in the night, out of sight
It's out there waiting to ignite
The favor will rise, rise, rise
Taking over my mind

The countdown has begun
The walls are falling down
My life is on the line
The fear is mine...

It's dangerous to sacrifice
It makes your blood run to throw the dice
It's dangerous, it's what you like
It's what you'll die for to live this life
We're going on and we'll never stop
We're going on till our worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous

Nothing matters anyhow
It's like I'm floating on the ground
Into the hands, there I dive
With my life flashing by
Like the time is slowing down
When the world is out of sight
All the memories in my mind
Won't leave me behind
It's dangerous... (dangerous)
It's dangerous... (dangerous)
It's dangerous!

It's dangerous to sacrifice
It makes your blood run to throw the dice
It's dangerous, it's what you['re] like
It's what you'll die for to live this life
We're going on and we'll never stop
We're going on till our worlds collide
It's dangerous
So dangerous
Dangerous

How to access a password protected WinZip or WinRar

It's real easy actually :) So never fear if you've somehow forgotten the password/s to your zip files :)

1. Go and download Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) software 
2. Install it and open it.
3. Choose 'Installer for zip files' (on your left)
4. Drag in/open your password protected zip file and let it do its magic ;) It might take awhile depending on your zip file size, so wait till it's finished
5. Click 'Generate' at the bottom right.
6. You'll get a new .exe file on your desktop (or if you've changed the save location, find that .exe file in your new save location), double click that.
7. It should pop out a folder on the same location as your .exe file
8. The folder should contain the files that are in that password protected zip file :) 
9. Enjoy!

Credits to my dad for finding this out on youtube. :P

Within Temptation (ft. Xzibit) - And We Run

This is one of my favs too from Hydra :D

(So, they have made the video unavailable to all countries except Japan LOL http://aveyntoh-blog.blogspot.com/2014/02/within-temptation-lyric-videos.html Don't worry though, there's still a way :))

Lyrics:

It burns into your heart, the darkness that you fear.
You were never free, and you never realized.
And love, is a word you've never heard.
Your heart is cold cause it burns,
The desire to leave the mire.

Take your breath til nothing's left.
Stars of life upon your chest.
And I know you, wherever you go.

And we run and we don't look back.
And we run til we've had enough.
And we run, tell me how to run......
And we run, til we break down.
And we run til we fall apart.
And we run til we've had enough.......

(Rap) Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head. We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

And we run, for the lonely heart
And we run, for this killing love.
And we run, far ahead we go.

(Rap) I'ma break these chains, ran through the rain.
Never looked back, never quit, worked through the pain.
This blood in my veins run cold when I hate.
Give enough to keep sane but I never lose hope.
This is my time now, no time for tears to celebrate.
Put it in the air right now.
Never back down, you can never wear my crown
Cause it weighs too much and I crush every motherfucking

(Rap) Thing I touch.
This is love, I've never loved so much.
Get involved, make the world stand up.
Hear my might before I ever get far.
Man in lights, you lost all my trust.
Now it's time to face all of us.
Get in line just to *spar* with us.
And it feels so far from us, just take my hand and run.

And we run, for the lonely heart
And we run, for this killing love.
And we run, tell me how it's enough.
And we run, til we break down.
And we run til we fall apart.
And we run, til it's enough.

Yeah, we out of here.

(Rap) Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

And we run, for the lonely heart
And we run, for this killing love.
And we run, far ahead we go..

(Rap) Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
We gotta get gone.
Yeah, we outta here.
Don't blink, you'll miss it.
Lift up your head.
Too late, we gone.
Yeah, we outta here.

Within Temptation (ft. Dave Pirner) - The Whole World is Watching

One of my favs in this album. Any corrections are welcome :)

Lyrics:

You live your life.
You go day by day
Like nothing can go wrong.
These scars are made,
They're changing the game.
You learn to play it hard.

And I know you wish for more,
And I know you try.
And now you realize,
You know the time is right.

The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing before your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.

What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise.

You build your walls
Then break them away
Cause that is what it takes.
You saved yourself.
You found who you are,
That never goes away.

And I know you wish for more,
And I know you try.
And now you realize,
You know the time is right.

The whole world is watching when you rise.
The whole world is beating for you right now.
Your whole life is flashing before your eyes.
It's all in this moment that changes all.

What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching you when you rise.

Whoaa.....
Your sacrifice comes through your mind,
But nothing is wasted.
You made it now.
You rise again, breaking out.
Each step you've taken, you've paid the price
The whole world is watching.

Ohhh..........
The whole world is watching.
The whole world is watching when you rise

What are you waiting for?
What are you fighting for?
Cause time's always slipping away.
The whole world is watching.
Yeah, the whole world is watching when you rise

Within Temptation - Tell Me Why

I love the chorus :) So awesome! Video's gonna be up only on Hydra (the album)'s release date - I've learned my lesson lol. Any corrections are welcome :)

(So, they have made the video unavailable to all countries except Japan LOL http://aveyntoh-blog.blogspot.com/2014/02/within-temptation-lyric-videos.html Don't worry though, there's still a way :))


Lyrics:

I've been losing myself to end this, so much broken by the rain.
Nothing can take my mind off how to make them pay.
Give up myself to nothing, then the pain will go away.
Losing myself to know this, I've been going away.

If I could turn
The hands of time,
And I would,
But here I am.

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday.
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down, to let it go.

I do turn to keep on trying, but I spend it to the end.
Knowing that there's no person for my rising side.
I've buried again in evil, only there who's left behind.
I am the one who's standing, I will live to tell.

If I could turn
The hands of time,
And I would,
But here I am...
Here I am.

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday.
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down, to let it go.

Tell me why I'm wasting away.
Tell me how to be my own change.
Cause I've been losing it too long.
How can I stand here and fight?
Tell me how to face my own death.
Cause I'm still standing.

[Guitar solo]

I'm still standing, such a fighter.
I've got to fight for... all of it.

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I am just a ghost of yesterday.

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
Why...
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday.

Tell me why am I still here when I'm so dead?
I'm living like the ghost of yesterday.
(Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone)
Tell me why am I still trying to hold on?
Gotta turn it down, to let it go.
