Blogger has launched a new interface and this has caused me to 'blog'

Goes to show how true the statement "Change is Constant" and being human, having new stuffs never fails to excite us.

However, in the midst of all these technological advancements and developments, we should never fail to remember our roots, first love and social contact.

Have we forgotten to appreciate the colours as we walk (or rush) to catch the train or have we forgotten to take a breath of the fresh air in the morning as we take a walk in the park?

With all the convenience in our hands, have we forgotten to write hand written letters and mail them by post, instead of composing messages or emails, mostly while traveling from one point to another.

Has all these advancements made the social relationships closer, or has it driven it further apart?

Yup, I have thousands of friends in my facebook account, hundreds of followers in twitter and tumblr. However when was the last time I met some friends just to hang out, grab a drink and get recharged?

Technological advancements are good.

But nothing beats the human touch.

Kim Jong Kook - Don't Be Good To Me

TRANSLATION:

Stop being good to me
Don't be good to me anymore

Being cold would be better instead
Or being unconcerned would be better instead

Taking off the dust stuck on the hem of your dress
Leaning on my shoulder without a thought as you laughed

It's just a habit, but even though I erase it and spend my day busily
I think and think about it again, like a picture taken with my eyes

Stop being good to me
Don't ever be good to me again
I get on my knees in front of love
I don't have the confidence to be hurt

If your feelings are different
If your feelings are different from mine
When someone asks
I'll introduce you calmly
As just a person I know

It wasn't that I wasn't able to answer
That late night call you gave me several days ago
I couldn't answer it

Because I was drunk and from my lonely heart
I might have thoughtlessly told you that I missed you
Because I thought that by the morning, it would be nothing

Stop being good to me
Don't ever be good to me again
I get on my knees in front of love
I don't have the confidence to be hurt

Because even though I miss you
I can't find the path that leads me back
To when I thought I had the entire world
Through that love alone

Because your feelings might be the same
Because your feelings might be the same as mine
I anticipate and I wait once again
In front of love today as well
Like a fool

I hesitate in front of you again
Like a fool
