Lyrics of the Day:
Life for Rent by Dido

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent...

Of Andrew, Jen and Kristen
Just watched The Bachelor a few hours ago..the very last episode of the season..where the bachelor is supposed to propose to one of the girls..one of them will go home with a ring on her ring finger the other will leave home a very sad lady...well since the beginning of the season ive liked Jen more than Kristen...though i like them both much more than that bitch Tina..(Typical Slut..)Anywayz,ive been rooting for Jen..as well as my mom..both of us really like her...im not sure what my mom thinks but i think that Jen has this really motherly look..very matured and stuff..Kristen's the upbeat girl..the kind which guys will drool all over..the leader of a pack..but the really sinister kind..dont really like her..(My sis seems to like her a lot...typical of her to like someone with beautiful looks..Shallow..)Anyway,during the proposal in today's episode..Andrew finally woke up from his dream about kirsten and chose Jen instead..(Good on you mate...)I thought he'll be a stupid blind dick who will choose Kristen..instead he chose Jen...and when he told Kristen that he did not choose her...though i cheered..i felt bad for her..i really did..seeing her trying to hold back the tears in her eyes..asking Andrew to be happy and stuff..Which got me thinking while sitting on my throne..(Aka toilet bowl..for those ill-informed individual..)Is it worse to be rejected by someone or to break up with someone?which one will feel worse?i dont know..my guess is being rejected..there are bascally 3 kinds of breaking up..1)The girl wants to break up 2)You want to break up 3)Both wants to break up ...2 and 3 will probably have a happy ending for you..since you cannot take the relationship anymore..breaking up will be like a bird being set lose from its cage..and so you are the happy one in this breaking up...but in a rejection there is only ONE kind of rejection:She doesnt like you...there's no other forms of rejection..which means that you will always end up a very sad man in a rejection most definitely..Oh well...ive been through the most painful part in the possible outcomes of a relationship..which is a rejection..maybe when i do break up with someone..(Thats if i get into a relationship at all..)I might be well prepared..i dont really want to end up like Kristen..crying her heart out at the back of a Limo..O well..what can i say..the holiday is drawing to its midpoint..haha...pretty soon ehz?haha..alright got to go..

Of the Sand,Sea and Rain
Yesterday i went to Siloso Beach for some church activity organised by Jane and her church peeps..wasnt very keen on going at first i must admit..laziness took over and i was unwilling to leave home..but oh well..was convinced and threatened by Siang Hong and in the end i met him and we both head towards Toa Payoh to meet the rest of the gang..Jane was there early and we met Jared Nigel Harry and Sandra a little later..it was drizzling by the time we reached the church..and i was already having a bad feeling about the whole day..this dude from her church..this really fat and short guy had a prayer before the trip..asking god for a god weather..guess the prayer didnt really work ehz..it POURED when we reached Sentosa..we had to wait for the rain to weaken its strength and we actually had to walk to Palawan Beach on foot..we got LOST and wasted a large amt of time...in the rain...great eh?Just the perfect way to be in during a public holiday...Thank god my friends were there..or i wouldve died on the trip..So we got there..settled down and started those idiotic games..The first was fine..dudes had to strip and use their shirt to transport water from the sea to this bucket..then had to fill up this bucket with holes at the side...that was a fun game..everyone worked together and stuff..and the main reason why i enjoyed that was because it wasnt raining at that point of time..people were deserately trying to fill the hole dotted bucket with water...until i suggested to pour sand into the bucket to decrease the volume..We had to get 2 balls out of the bucket by pouring water...in the end i got pretty pissed and just threw sand into the bucket and whacked the balls out..sometimes anger do help in the dealing with things..things got wayyy bad after that...It started raining and the sea breeze blew against our bare body as we stood in the water...answering stupid questions..we were literally freezing our butts off..and had to bury our faces into this plate of wet flour to bite out some rubberban..(Which in the end wasnt used at all..)the taste was nasty...and it tasted like...FLOUR..it was awful...i was spitting half the time..the 3rd game was...not as disgusting as the one before..but just stupid and boring..'YOU ARE NOAH!!' the dude cried...*Rolleyes..*play dead..blindfolded..you name it..i dont remember being half naked for such a long time..sigh...like what Nigel said..We mightve enjoyed more if it didnt rain..After the games things got better..went to bath and man that felt good..never felt better...and we head back to the meeting point..we were really early..so i picked up a guitar and started playing...while waiting for people to come back..Went to have dinner after that..had some chicken rice..not the ideal dinner but hey..5 bucks for a chicken rice..pretty nice..But it was blood boiling when my sister msged me that she was having steamboat while i was eating chicken rice..GREAT..Headed home with the gang and took a bus to Harbor Front and had some drinks at this hawker centre..(Think i saw XinYu btw..)After that we took NEL back...and i slept on the MRT..was so tired...all and all the day was BAD to the core..but it was Bad in a good way..get what i mean?its something i got to do OTHER than just slping and eating at home..which is cool...a little pain and sweat was good..hahaa.alrightoz..Signing off..Tataz..

Of Capability,Impossibility and Inevitability
'Why all the crying?Why all the sufferings..after merely a rejection?'i say as i speak to myself..'Merely?What do you know about rejections?You dont know what it did to me..and still doing to me...'the other me says...'Im not saying that rejections should be treated as a simple no...all im saying is..maybe there is a deadline to things..a time when you gotta get over things..to stop thinking abt her..maybe the time is now..and stop the crying..stop the thinking...its like a rock tied to your ankles...it wont get you anywhere..' Yes...let go now...but how..i have not a clue..Yesterday i have been pondering over the same question on the same place..Of how i am or when i am supposed to let things go..while sitting on my bed in the middle of the night...(Thats when the thoughts start pouring out..)So how?The capability of myself..what i am able and not able to do...thinking back...i think i am foolish...been blinded like a fool by love and greed..i never thought of my own capabilities..when i can do...i know what i can do for her ultimately..and there are few..i know what i cant do...and there are soo many...for one...i cant make her happy...im sure of that...i have no apparent reason for that..it's just one of those gut feelings you get sometimes..i guess im just not willing to sacrifise my time or...money to be honest...on a matter that is uncertain...there are lots of guys other there after her and stuff..and i must admit..there is definitely one guy out there who has the capability of doing what i could not..and that is,to make her happy..to be willing to sacrifise...and i often use that as to comfort myself...we,the guys after her,have a same common goal...at least for some...the few minorities..and that is...to make her happy...and truely..i really want to see a smile on her face caused by me...but anyway...i havent the ability to do it...we all set out on this purpose...and if you cannot fulfill that purpose then leave it to someone else..why stop others from completing the task...Selfish?Jealousy?Envy maybe?When you have no capabilites...Rejection is not impossible...its inevitable...its a fact...even when you dont see it or feel it...so all and all i tell myself that all that have happened is not impossible..its inevitable due to my incapabilities..my lack of will to make one happy..to make her happy...it is my fault that this happened..so let others have a chance..after all you didnt BUY her...she's not yours...

Of Dvds and Styrofoams
Hmm...been pestering those HMV guys for days..it happens every year around this time when the LOTR EEs are coming out..i will always be the one calling them up pestering them about the release date...(Since they are always late..)This year they were late as well...but oh well...at least i got it...called them up yesterday evening and they said that they have it..so my mom fetched me down to town to buy the The Two Towers Extended Edition Dvd...really need stuff..it has the normal extended cut in it..plus 2 other dics of documentaries...plus the fifth disc especially for gollum..and a gollum statue...hahaa..incredible it was...and as soon as i got onto the fifth floor i saw it on the shelfs and snatched one...i was the only person buying the Gift Set while others are just buying the Deluxe..but what the hell...and i didnt bring enough money for it..great..so i had to call mom to come down and help me with the situation..it was pretty awkward in the sense that i have to stand within the sight of the lady at the counter so i wont run away with the EE without paying..so i actually stood there and watched Indiana Jones..*It was pretty good as well..*Costs me 159 bucks but hell...worth every penny!!got home and started with the opening up of the plastic wrappers and stuff...that was the easy part...then comes to the styrofoam holding gollum down...no matter how hard i try to tear it out of the bottom of the box it wont move...so i managed to search online and found a way to remove gollum from the box..(Yes they have those online..amazing huh?For those guys out there who bought it as well..cut the big chunk of foam on the middle right hand side and tear it off..dig and u will find the plastic strap...use a scissors..grab onto it and twist it till it breaks..dont try cutting..pull out the plastic strap and dig again till u find the plastic wrapping at the bottom...tear everything out and tadah!!)That took me an hour...and i watched the bachelor after that..hahaa..im rooting for Jen!!!i think she's a really nice girl..though a little less attractive compared to the other girl but oh well..i really prefer her...the chatty kind...very homely...anywayz..after that went on to watch the extended cut till what..3am?hahaha..im nuts i know..but i really liked the disc...cant stop watching it..been watching ever since i got up this morning..and still not halfway through it yet..:P I love the dvd!!!!!hmm..the soundtrack coming out in 4 days..cant wait for it..better post this before 12..hahaa..alright...bye bye!!!

For the Forbidden Words
There are things in life..that we shouldnt do without thinking it through..or words that shouldnt be said without thinking it over..especially when you are in a relationship...When you are in a relationship one of the greatest Nonos is to keep your promise and not make empty promises..its devastating to either side...I was lying on my bed listening to perfect 10 yesterday night..trying to get myself to sleep...heard this dedication on air from this guy to a girl..His gf i assume..he said,'I will love you forever..'.That really turned me off..so disgusted by it...not that what he said was bad or anything..its that...if i know this guy..i wouldve asked him,'What is love?do you know what is love?do you know how long is "forever"?Thats the rest of your freakin' life..are you REALLY going to love her for THAT long?'Made me think about a msg my goooood friend S.Khim sent me the other day..Its from a book..kinda forgot what it is..but this is what one of the character said,'"i just want someone who is going to love me forever."she says quietly,and i feel a sudden surge of sadness and fear for her.ForevER?There's something wrong with FOREVER.These days it seems to get shorter and shorter.That's the trouble with FOREVER..Blink and you miss it..' I think its really true..Forever is just a Necessity in a muchy phrase nowadays..people say it for the sake of saying it..end any much sentences with FOREVER or I LOVE YOU..it just doesnt make sense at all..are you going to keep your promise or are you just saying it for the sake of saying it..just to make he/her happy...in the end make an empty promise?Tell me are you going to love her foreveR?Yes?Prove it..the truth is:You cant...nobody can..Instead of saying I LOVE YOU why dont you show it instead of sticking that damn word to your mouth..after all action speaks louder than words..i can go around saying that i love someone without showing my love at all..it will never make sense that way..Show it..dont merely Say it..because it doesnt mean anything...Forever?How bout this...tell her that you are going to do yr best to treat her well everyday until tmr...then tmr you say the same thing again..THAT'S more realistic..How many times have you heard couples going,'I will love you forever' then breaking up in a few months..talking to you on the phone crying their hearts out..Think about it...there are words that shouldnt be used lightly..Peace out..

Of the Flying Robin
Hmm..its been a while since i posted anything..alright..this will be two day's worth..on Saturday Krishna Samuel and I went to East Coast to ride bikes..Yes it might not sound as the best thing to do on a Saturday morning but hey..i like the feeling of riding on the road and feeling the cool sea breeze on my face..so we met up and went for lunch at some hawker centre..as usual i hate hawker food..they are so ordinary..tasteless to me..bought some chow kue tiao..not sure how to spell that though..since im not very fond of it..(Krishna seems to love it..)It was too hot for my taste..and Krishna just munched down his plate...and half of mine..(I managed to swallow half of it down..Unwillingly)Then we went over to east coast to rent some bikes..We rode SouthWest first towards the Sentosa direction..halfway through the journey..rain clouds gathered..and it began to drizzle..3 crazy guys on the streets of east coast..what were they thinking..we rode through the rain..until the rain was unbearable..it was beating down on us like hundreds of stones pouring down frm the sky..especially when u are riding at 50km/h they are more than just small droplets of rain..so we went into a shelter..and got stuck there for at least half an hour..Samuel opened his bag to find it flooded like a lagoon..the worst thing is when he took out his hp..water dripped from the keypads and the charger outlet..OUCH..it mustve hurt..thank god my bag was water proof..my hp and wallet were dry like they were placed in sahara desert instead..the rain stopped..or weakened..and we rode on again...we came to a dead end..and decided to turn back and ride NorthEastwards..and we did...until the rain stopped us again...this time it is stronger than before and the dark clouds gathering over the storming seas threatened to stop out journey forward..so we made another stopover at a shelter..by that time we were all drenched and a little frustrated with the rain..only Krishna was enjoying the journey in the rain..i was not exactly pissed..i just didnt want to ride through such a heavy rain..(New T-shirt and all..)After it weakened again we went on...and rode further than before all the way to area G...thats like 10kms?or maybe more..im not sure..Too tired to take 135 back home again..i hate long slow rides in a bus...especially when you are drenched and cold..so me and Samuel shared a cab home..on the cab we were all exhausted and were staring out of the window..following the raindrops as it trickles down the side windows..the cab driver was listening to some disco music on the radio..and one of them was called,'Fly Robin Fly'.A pretty damn stupid song i guess..it went,'Fly robin fly...Up up to the sky..' And it repeats and repeats and repeats...im not sure if we were overwhelmed by exhaustion or something else..me and Samuel were laughing out head off to the song..i was doing some lame disco moves and he was making fun of the song itself..Iironically the next song up was about bike riding...(Hmm??)Yesterday night i sent a msg to Rs on friendster..apologising for such a long winded testimonial i wrote for her..and she replied..(Wow..shocker)its been awhile since we talked..and this time i did not screw up mind you...no muchy sentences or corny lines..i talked to her like how i talk to everybody else..and it feels good...hope to see her reply later on in the afternoon..:) Damn my com's going bonkers..it will suddenly swtich off by itself..stupid com...screw you...

LYRICS OF THE DAY:
Shut Up by Black Eyed Peas

Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up (3x)
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up (3x)
Shut it up, just shut up

[Chorus]
We try to take it slow
But we're still losin control
And we try to make it work
But it still isn't the worst
And I'm craaazzzy
For tryin to be your laaadddy
I think I'm goin crazy

Girl, me and you were just fine (you know)
We wine and dine
Did them things that couples do when in love (you know)
Walks on the beach and stuff (you know)
Things that lovers say and do
I love you boo, I love you too
I miss you a lot, I miss you even more
That's why I flew you out
When we was on tour
But then something got out of hand
You start yellin when I'm with my friends
Even though I had legitimate reasons (bull shit)
You know I have to make them evidence (bull shit)
How could you trust our private lives girl
That's why you don't believe my lies
And quit this lecture

[Chorus]

Why does he know she gotta move so fast
Love is progress if you could make it last
Why is it that you just lose control
Every time you agree on takin it slow
So why does it got to be so damn tough
Cuz fools in lust could never get enough of love
Showin him the love that you be givin
Changing up your livin
For a lovin transistion
Girl lip so much she tryin to get you to listen
Few mad at each other has become our tradition
You yell, I yell, everybody yells
Got neighbors across the street sayin
“Who the hell?!?”
Who the hell?
What the hell's going down?
Too much of the bickering
Kill it with the sound and

[Chorus]

Girl our love is dyin
Why can't you stop tryin
I never been a quitah
But I do deserve betta
Believe me I will do bad
Let's forget the past
And let's start this new plan
Why? Cuz it's the same old routine
And then next week I hear them scream
Girl I know you're tired of the things they say
You're damn right
Cuz I heard them lame dame excuses just yesterday
That was a different thing
No it ain't
That was a different thing
No it ain't
That was a different thing
It was the same damn thing
Same ass excuses
Boy you're usless
Whhoooaaaa

[Chorus]

Stop the talking baby
Or I start walking baby
Is that all there is (repeat)

Of Condoms and Monsoon Pigeons
Phew..finally all the work my grp put in to do pw..has paid off..at least it's ended..wow..looking back on the past couple of years doing project work..filing everything into the file...surveys and stuff..really made me think twice about how much a human can accomplish...amazing stuff..;)Today was my oral presentation day..i think i slept too much the previous afternoon...yesterday night i really couldnt slp at all..so i laid myself down on my bed and started memorising the lines of my presentation..and believe it ladies and gentlemen when i say this..that it works better than counting the jumping lambs..;)Got to the room and the first thing i noticed was the number of unkwown faces to me..all from the science classes..i dont even remember seeing their faces before..yikes..that's pathetic..considering the fact that we are actually fellow schoolmates..anyway..so i walked in alongside my group members..Bernice was making a big fuss about not knowing anybody in the crowd..making everyone..including me a little nervous about the presentation..being the first speaker of the first group..i started and set the bar high..(Self-Claimed)like i said before thank god i had experience in drama club..:)the QnA..never practised that part before..but i think i answered his question..at least i hope i did..i think Bernice answered it really well..as compared to people from other groups...some just stood there and went..'Ermm.......well.........'and some just went totally off the mark...when asked about Mars he talked about Venus hello?make up your mind..there was this group doing something about Hippies..and they gave out condoms to the crowd..now thats cool..*Winks*and i asked that dude..Johnathan if i can keep one...he said,'No i need it...'and i mumbled under my breath,'for what i wonder..' They have a pretty sweet looking group member by the way..haha..anywayz..the condom got lost as it was passed around and yea...prime suspect:Me...Johnathan was checking the box of condoms when he found out that one was missing...whole group looked at me...but Shang helped me out..saying that he passed to the ladies...(Ladies own up pls...or i will be known as the condom guy ever after..)Sat there for 4 straight hours just for the damn presentation to end..and i agree with Bernice..an absolute waste of my damn time...i was so tired after the presentation i didnt go for the ktv thingie with Wan wei and Bernice..sorry girls...was really tired...i even lost my way home..sorta...instead of leaving from the main gate i went from the back gate of the sch pass the basketball courts..and took the paved way beside the monsoon drain...was trying to shield myself from the red scorching midday sun when i saw this pigeon standing in the middle of the monsoon drain..another flew towards it and landed a feet or two before the other...then it started to make that guu guu sound..it was so damn funny...i think it was trying to mate...everytime the guu guu sound comes it will bow its head low to the female pigeon...and the female just circled the male pigeon round and round..but he never gave up...overwhelmed with sexual desires he kept Guu-ing and bowing..it was so hilarious..in the end the female flew off and the male stood there...alone...i was hoping for some freeshow..but walked away as the sun was burning my face...looked back and saw the pigeon still standing there...Guu-ing into nothingness...that male pigeon sorta reminded me of me...ahhaa..always searching for the right female..NOT to mate of course..and when found the right one i keep pestering her and bowing low to her...when she's obviously not giving a rats ass about you..in the end when she flew off you are the only loser left in the monsoon drain...so are you going to stay there to cry and Guu?wait for the swift current to come and wash you away?or flap your wings and fly away?I choose to fly away...to search for a new branch..a new tree..a new place where i can settle in...maybe someday i will meet that female pigeon again..hopefully it wont be the mating season...but the make-friends season..:)And it did...it flew off after i climbed the stairs on the side of the drain...it flew above me and away towards the carparks...looking at my palms...hmm...if i had wings...if i had wings...i wanna fly...where to?Just a thought..;)

Of the Change of Fortunes
Krishna...my best friend since sec1...did a lot of shit together for the past few years..in boys' school its hard not to do silly things..especially when you yrself is surrounded by crazy people...we went through a lot together..tough and easy ones..and along the road he had always been the lucky one...the guy with the highest grades in class..the guy with the most liking from teachers...the guy with this the guy with that...and i had always been the guy with the average grades...the guy who causes trouble...the guy who talks too much..At one point i thought everything is going against me..like the world is so unfair all of a sudden for me...However nowadays..ever since the Promos started things have been going pretty well for me...in every aspect...(Other than the you-know-what aspect)Everything has been steering the way i want it to...like the Oral Presentation..my grades...almost everything...so i am a very happy man now..haha..i guess the post about the clouds affected me to a certain degree..(Look below...)However for Krishna..he's fate made an ill turn...now falling to the depths of depths...Love trouble with WJ and family matters...friends opposing his relationships..Screwing up of PW and lots and lots..For some reason the table has turned and i am on the lucky side now...i guess when god makes someone unlucky in this world..someone else has to recieve the luck...he's really troubled by almost anything nowadays...his voice sounds more like a living dead..i just got off the phone with him and he mentioned something about drinking beer to forget his woes..(As if that will work..)And the chinese paper affected him lots as well...Though i thought the paper was Xtremely easy..didnt really boast about it coz he didnt do well...(Yes he did not do the compo...i repeat..he did not do the compo)So yea..there you go...he's soo stressed up even though it is after the promos..i dont understand why people take things soo seriously nowadays...maybe a calmed mind might sort things out more easily rather than being hasty and moody...That's what ive learnt from my own experience..some food for thought..:)Oh and i saw this advertisement on tv about a scriptwriting competition..damn i asked Krishna to join the competition with me...we worked on a script back in the secondary school days and it actually recieved pretty great reviews...hahaa..so this time we wanted to give it a shot..50000 bucks for the top price...isnt that tempting...But damn...minimum age required:18 yrs old...what you are saying that a script written by a 17 yr old is worse than one written by a 18 yr old?this is total bullshit!!maybe i'll just wait till next year..in the mean time..i'll just have to force out some ideas..Contributions?Anyone?

Poem of the Day
An Angel Without Wings
by Elizabeth Ann Burkett

You must be an angel without wings
To put up with all of my bothersome things
My anger, my love, my sometimes weary heart
What others hated about me you love those parts
I look at you and see a creation so divine
To think you have captured this heart of mine
How could I not love you with all that I am
You are the steady I need for my trembling hand
So honest, true and caring you are
My night in shining armour or my shooting star
You simply must be an angel without wings!

Total i had my Project Work Oral Presentation Dry-Run...heh...i was the very first speaker..not just my group but the whole class as well..so i went up there and did my thing..wasnt at all prepared and wasnt at all afraid..due to some reasons i will mention later..everyone was so scared in the morning for some reason..all busy scribbling down notes and doing some last minute adjustments...i was there wandering around fooling with Ravish and Melvir..It all started and due to some miscommunication between me and Wan Wei i sorta made a fool out of myself..They wanted to play a jingle before the presentation...and showing the lyrics at the same time..i asked Wan Wei before hand if i should start speaking after the song or after the intro TO THE SONG...but she thought i was saying the INTRO which was the song...so in the end she told me to start after the intro..and i did..ended up raising my voice..trying to challenge the speakers...Anyway...my presentation when on find...maybe i was talking a little too fast..i didnt feel like i spoke for 5 minutes..anyway...i feel that my experience as the president of the drama club in secondary school really helped a lot..actually since kindergarten i have been performing on stages...In kindergarten i performed for the aged folks in my school playing some instrument...not exactly sure of its name..then in primary school i did a lot of performance..one of them was a singing performance and the other was a scene where i wake up from a nightmare..i really cannot remember what role i played..i think i played a student who cheated in class and was haunted by this angel...in secondary school i played as one of the killers of Julius Caesar and as an evil worker at Bugis Junction...all these performance really helped to strengthen my wits...Performing in front of hundreds of people is not a easy thing...The fear of screwing up...and you need to memorie your lines..where to raise your voice..where to whisper..where to mumur..where to keep quiet...your movements..every step...every facial movements..everything has to be precise..Good to know that i actually benefited from it...not scared of the audience anymore..which made things a lot easier for me..hahaa..was pretty fun actually..had to agree with Mr Yeo on that...alright gotta slp now..cya~

Of Holidays Trips
Everybody's going on Holiday this coming holiday..lets see...Bernice Rachel Mr Yeo and I...hahaa..Though the day when i leave is still very much weeks away but i cant wait already..today we were supposed to do PW in class after the technical dry runs..however we ended up talking about our past holiday experiences with Mr Yeo..Miss Lim WeiYi is afraid to fly alone on the plane...claiming that it's scary to know that you are alone in the middle of nowhere...I personally think that its awesome to fly yourself..Wander around in the airport before the plane takes off..Doing whatever you want buying whatever you want..or simply slack in one spot and see the planes go pass the windows in the waiting rooms..Do what you like on the plane..i mean we are all grown-ups..at least close enough...i think we should slowly learn to do things on our own...Bernice and her Vball gang are going to HK or Taiwan this coming holiday...damn she beat me to it...i wanted to go to Bali with Krishna last year but changed our minds after the Bali Bombing thing..sigh..i guess i'll have to push forward the plane till next year after the As..But before that i still have a lot of shit to go through..i guess that's my real test...C ya~;)

Lyrics of the Day:
Just learnt this song on my guitar after Corinna mentioned it a few days ago...check it out~~

Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton
Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong
And carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven
I'll find my way through night and day
I just can't stay
Here in heaven

Time can bring you down
Time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart
Have you begging please
Begging please

Beyond the door
There's peace I'm sure
And I know
There'll be no more
Tears in heaven

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven
I must be strong and carry on
'Cos I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.
