An Ode to Meju

(by rambutan)

I have a drooling-leching mate in Haru Haru.

She is non other than Korean translator, Meju.

Always snickering at others over the whole fangirly thing,

One day we turned into mush balls watching Kang Suk on screen.

Why we lech after that stuffy, gruff man we don’t understand.

But he sure stirs our hearts like no male star now can.

One day I asked her to translate a Gloria song.

Immediately, she launched a disclaimer about a mile long.

“I'm not literal, I translate as would normal English sound,

Yet capturing the essence as would the words expound.

My translation takes note of both mood and tone

Based on these, the seed of my translation is sown.”

Meju's translations of GLORIA are a delight and a treat.

She makes those who time her episodes squeee! and squeak.

Methuongcon: “Oh Meju, your translations are so easy to time!”

And Starstruck, Hitomi and KimT sang the same chimes.

Actually, not only timers, but others sing their praises, too.

Fore said: “If Meju joins TEAM GLORIA, it will be a coup.”

Men - Women jokes

Q: Why doesn't law permit a man to marry a second woman?
A: Because as per law you cannot be punished twice for the same offence.

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

Man: Is there any way for long life?
Dr.: Get married.
Man: Will it help?
Dr.: No, but the thought of long life will never come.

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

Wife: Darling today is our anniversary, what should we do?
Husband: Let us stand in silence for 2 minutes.

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

Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say.
After marriage, he'll fall asleep before you finish.

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

There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking.
It's called marriage.

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

Prospective husband: Do you have a book called 'Man, The Master of Women'?
Salesgirl: Sir, the Fiction department is on the other side.

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

There was this guy who told his woman that he loved her so much that he would go through hell for her. They got married, and now he is going through hell.

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

Fact of life: One woman brings you into this world crying & the other ensures you continue to do so for the rest of your life!


P.S. A guy who's happily married tells me only the joke about the bank account is true.

A Song for Ai* on her Birthday

(Lyrics only! ^_^)

HaruHaru Subs has a translator named Ai*

She once signed for a job, asking “May I?”

I was passing by, and quickly replied “Aye!”

Her translation skills one can easily admire

From her pen, words come alive, as if on fire

Ai’s* language skills is one to which I should aspire

Happy Birthday, Ai*!

An Ode to Cute Girl on her birthday today

Cute Girl is an Admin of Haru Haru Subs.

She cares for children as though they were her cubs.

A teacher who is often over-worked and tired,

yet she manages to stay calm, sane and inspired.

"What is your secret for keeping sane?" I asked.

She said, “It is those children in whom I bask.”

Happy Birthday, cute girl!

An Ode to Fore (a Korean translator in H2S)

By: rambutan

(inspired by his translation of "Like An Indian Doll"

in the drama “GLORIA", a drama subbed by H2S)

I know a guy named fore,

who translated the song “Indian Doll”.

He then asked me to look at the lyrics,

“Please check whether they are lyrical and poetic.”

Be careful of Fore when he translates,

As an editor, I often have to adjudicate.

Being a Man, he doesn't do girl-speak,

He uses "broad" for woman, or just "chick"!

Now, this dedicated and diligent guy named fore,

he’s often around, and quickly answers all our calls.

Although all stressed, there is no hysteria.

He’s all cool but sometimes groggy, due to insomnia.

You have to be careful of this guy named fore.

His initials are “H-J”, if you want to know.

When you are not alert, he likes to pull your leg.

And if you're caught, he will laugh “kekeke!”

I like this guy named fore.

He makes me laugh to my core.

After a hard day, and I can't sleep,

His humor does away my counting sheep.
