Follow Through
(Gavin DeGraw)
Oh, this is the start of something good,
Don't you agree?
I haven't felt like this in so many moons,
You know what I mean?
And we can build through this destruction,
As we are standing on our feet.
So, since you want to be with me,
You'll have to follow through,
With every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
You to stick around.
I'll see you everyday,
But you have to follow through.
You have to follow through.
These reeling emotions they just keep me alive,
They keep me in tune.
Oh, look what I'm holding here in my fire,
This is for you.
Am I too obvious to preach it?
You're so hypnotic on my heart.
So, since you want to be with me,
You'll have to follow through,
With every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
(for) you to stick around.
I'll see you everyday,
But you have to follow through.
The words you say to me are unlike anything that's ever been said.
Ahh, and what you do to me is unlike anything that's ever been.
Am I to obvious to preach it? You're so hypnotic on my heart,
So, since you want to be with me.
You have to follow through,
with every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
(for) you to stick around.
I'll see you everyday.
So, since you want to be with me,
you'll have to follow through with every word you say.
And I, all I really want is you,
(for)you to stick around.
I'll see you everyday, but you have to follow through.
You have to follow through.
You're gonna have to follow.
Oh, this is the start of something good.
Don't you agree?

"And you've been so busy lately
... that you haven't found the time, to open up your mind, and watch the world spinning, gently out of time.." ~ BlurIt was one of those reminders that you really need, but you don't get often enough of, u know? Sometimes you just get too caught up with your own work or issues, that you forget there's a world out there.. To live in..
The past few days have been pretty busy for me, with datelines for projs and what-nots.. Been spending my days in school and reaching home past 11.. I was telling a friend that my mum and I talked more on the phone than in person ha.. It's cos everytime I come home from school I'd be too bummed out to do anything but go straight to my room. So usually she'd like call me arnd 9 plus 10 to ask me abt my schedule for the next day, what time I'd be leaving home, what time I wanna wake up. Weird isn't it? That's one messed-up family relationship I'm telling you, albeit a very amusing one.
In fact, Monday was the 1st in a verrrrrry long time that I reached home when the sun was still up! Haa.. That was super refreshing.. Although I admit I probably wouldn't have done that had my parents NOT drilled into my head that I have to, HAVE to, reach home by 7 because we were expecting some guests and they'd need me to help around the house.
On Monday too on favourite bus 96 I saw a girl in the seat in front of me reading. A story book. Believe me I was probably gazing from behind her at the paragraphs with such loving eyes that if she had turned, she'd IMMEDIATELY close the book and donate it to me cause I'd convinced her enough I need it more than she does.
I really missed reading.
I keep wishing to go to the libr and pick up a book but then I'd tell myself No, I should read my readings/notes/do this that instead and well yea at the end of the day I'd still be doing nothing la I'm really lousy like that.
Anw.. 12 noon today marks the end of the all tests/essays. HURRAH HURRAH.. Stayed up the whole night la stupid man I TOLD myself over and over to start early.. I better learn my lesson soon BECAUSE I SO DO NOT wanna get that splitting headache I got this morning ever again ah.. But at this point in time I'm praying and praying I'd do good for those essays/ tests..
Pls God, I'll be good...------------
"Guess I'll go for a walk," said Topper. "I'm in need of a bit of a change."
"There'll be roast for dinner”, replied Mrs Topper. “Lamb," she added as
she left the room. "You like lamb."
Mr Topper winced as he collected his hat and stick. Why should he be thus openly reminded that he liked lamb? Couldn’t a person creep up on a roast and surprise it some time? As a matter of fact, he was not particularly lustful for lamb, or at least he would strive hereafter to disassemble his emotions.
But all he said was “Good!” The exclamation point stuck in his throat.

*smiley smiley*
Ok the next time you hear me say the phrase
"Let's do it." please, for the love of God, SMACK me.
Because I don't think there ever is, in this world, a more slenger saying.
Especially NOT in the context
"*I* used it in.
Apologies to the affected party..
Butttttt, other than that... No regrets!
At least not for now.
As long as the person keeps feeding me.
*grin grin*Dum dee dum...
Saturday was a good day.....
:D
Ok,
smack me TOO if I'm grinning waaaaay too much ok, I don't want to appear as MUSHY and MENYAMPAH-ing as the
you-know-whos..
Hee hee.. No offence!
And in reference to my last post, I regret to say that my interest in the 2nd fav person has dwindled and he's now in position #3. This is because of my VERY MEMORABLE, and
EXCITING (!!!!) encounter with my tutee's 4 year old brother last friday night, who kissed my shoulder in the middle of my tuition session and then grinned and said "I kissed your shoulder!!" HOW CUTE IS THAT LAR????!!!!!!!
And THEN a while later he came back and KISSED MY HAND!!!!!!!!! *dies*
I was so determined not to wash my hand la
for the rest of my life, but alas, being a good muslim, I had to take wudhu' (ablution) for Isyak prayers that VERY night. *big frown*
Hahaa.. Cant wait to see my
NEWEST love on Fri!
And when I say "a hundred years", I really mean A HUNDRED YEARS..........
Haha.. At least I hope it'd be. For my sake. *sticks out tongue*

I'll Be..
This song is dedicated to my 2nd fav person in the world currently (the 1st fav being a 6-year-old boy, refer below), who always sings this song not only SUMBANG-ly (out of tune), but also GASAK-ly (anyhow).
Hopefully, by me including the lyrics below, that person may UP his performance abit.
I'm quite sure the video won't really work- will be a lil jerky here and there. Can't find the audio la, so video also video lar k.. Just to let yall listen. It's nice! Press play and look at the lyrics or read the rest of my post.
Listen, Hafie! Don't be rude! ;D

(Edwin McCain)
The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust toward the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated
I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
Chorus:
I'll be your crying shoulder
I'll be your love suicide
and I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
Rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed
You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache, that hang from above
Repeat Chorus
I've been dropped out, burned up, fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on, Remembered the things that you said
Repeat Chorus

Do you know..
That Singaporeans are generally NOT comfortable with EXCESSIVE eye contact.
THIS IS BECAUSE....
Asians are traditionally brought up to not look at the other person in the eye as a sign of respect. Especially in the presence of someone older or an authority, they are expected to look down.
So DESPITE whatever they tell you in interview courses about eye contact, YES, maintain it, but not ALL THE TIME. And BE SURE to not look as if you're STARING the other person DOWN. It's intimidating to some people. When speaking to someone of a higher position or social role, it may be interpreted as challenging him or her.
I should keep this in mind. I HATE it when people look at me like they want to eat me up like that, YET, I find SO MUCH pleasure in doing the same to people. Haha.. of course most of the time I don't mean to intimidate, but I guess sometimes, just
sometimes, I'd like to see if the other person gets affected by the drones of attention I'm directing his/her way. Yes yes.. that's the weird sadistic streak in me acting up again..
ANW... So what's the best way to do it?
Apparently, what you should do is to occasionally look away. Some suggest looking at his eye brows instead of directly at his pupils. I think, looking, interspersed appropriately with nodding and looking down, should be comfortable enough. Don't stare, don't look down all the time (except when u kena scolded by your parents) and don't gaze off into space.
Yup.
Now I shall gush abt the new love of my life!
He's this
super super cute 6-year-old boy with flawless white skin and rosy rosy cheeks and smiley, sparkly eyes with eyelashes the length of Nile whom I met at the Meet-the-People session. And he has
2 moles on his nose! How peculiar and
totally endearing... Haha..
You know what's the best thing?
He spoke to me 1st!!!
He was there with his mum, and while the mum was talking to the interviewer he was just cutely minding his own business when at one point he banged his leg against the table leg or what. Then when he took out his leg and seeing me looking (with much concern) at this cut on his knee, he smiled and said "this one just now one." And from there ensued a conversation I would NOT forget (for the next few weeks).
He went on to explain that he got it at school that day. I asked "pain or not?" and he said "not pain." So I threatened, with a very evil face, to poke it and he was like "pain pain." But after that he himself touched it and clarified "touch soft soft, not pain. Touch hard hard pain."
Omigod I swear I wanted to just kidnap him at that point in time his face was blardee cute lar!!! After that we played the game of "threaten to poke-pull away" but our flirting session was rudely cut short when the mum's business with the interviewer was done. *sulks*
I wished I had just taken a pic of him using my handphone. Not like I needed to.
I thk his face has forever been engraved in my heart... *hearts in eyes*
Hah!

Babylon
(David Gray)
Friday night I'm going nowhere
All the lights are changing green to red
Turning over TV stations
Situations running through my head
Well looking back through time
You know it's clear that I've been blind
I've been a fool
To ever open up my heart
To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule
Saturday I'm running wild
And all the lights are changing red to green
Moving through the crowd I'm pushing
Chemicals all rushing through my bloodstream
Only wish that you were here
You know I'm seeing it so clear
I've been afraid
To show you how I really feel
Admit to some of those bad mistakes I've made
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon
Sunday all the lights of London
Shining , Sky is fading red to blue
I'm kicking through the Autumn leaves
And wondering where it is you might be going to
Turning back for home
You know I'm feeling so alone
I can't believe
Climbing on the stair
I turn around to see you smiling there
In front of me
If you want it
Come and get it
Crying out loud
The love that I was
Giving you was
Never in doubt
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Let go your heart
Let go your head
And feel it now
Babylon, Babylon, Babylon

ONE shopping trip to Sun Plaza and suddenly millions of revelations fall down upon me. Ok. Exaggeration. 3. But that's not the point.
The point is, I've been SOOOOO friggin OBLIVIOUS la I just wanna
smack myself. Did not realise I've been so out of the picture until this.
Sorry if I never seem to be there.. Or, as one of yall said, "There, but in your own little world, with your laptop." Hahaa.. No internet connection at home what, so school's like HEAVEN- a mad scramble to research for projs, print notes, check email, update this. And it royally sucks that my lunch times are also all filled with tuts or lecs *bleargh*.
But I'm here really, I am. If you feel I'm drifting away then don't let me drift, pull me back in! Sometimes I don't realise. Pull me in and I'll stay.
Hope it wont take another shopping trip to some ulu place for yall to remember I'm alive k.. Haha don't worry, I'll be checking regularly for updates!
To my sms-every-single-mundane-thing friend aka FAAAAA-VOURITE babe in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, I love you and we are SO spending some QUALITY, BONDING (grilling) SESSION together soon. *grin*Waiting for Fie's story and then it will all feel complete.

Gravity
(Embrace)
Honey,
It's been a long time coming,
And I can't stop now
Such a long time running,
And I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear that sound?
'cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down
And then I looked up at the sun
And I could see
Oh, the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky
And saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone
On everyone
Baby,
It's been a long time waiting,
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop smiling,
No I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
And can you hear that sound?
'cause I can't help crying
And I won't look down
And then I looked up at the sun
And I could see
Oh, the way that gravity turns on you and me
And then I looked up at the sun
And saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I
On you and I
Can you hear my heart beating
Do you hear that sound
'cause I cant help crying
And I wont look down

Hear! Hear!
On
any account, NEVER, enter the lift, with the katak, alone.
No, he wont rape you, God forbid.
But he'd do
other funny funny things, that you'd find the lift suddenly halt, then move veeeeerryyy slowwwwly downwards, then stop again. And you'd remain very stuck for the next half hour.
Trust me. I
know.At least you'd get to watch pink panther though.
You make me laugh in the weirdest situations.

The Blower's Daughter
Okay.
I'm back to melancholy mode. Sorry people.
Haha.. This song is so heartwrenching it paaaains me everytime I hear it. But being the masochistic person that I am, I find myself wanting to hear this song over and over again.. Just feel the pain in his voice lar.. the longing.. the despair.. Gah.
Some stuffs bout the song...
'The blower's daughter' actually refers to the daughter of Damien Rice's clarinet teacher. Notice the line: "the pupil in denial" in the song.
It was the theme song to Closer which was fab in the way it messes up all your pre-conceived ideas of love and trust and infidelity.
It ends with a barely audible "Til I find somebody new". Hmm.. We sorta see this song's about unrequited love.. now about that line.. Was he saying, that the only way he get over the one he loved so much is when he find somebody new? Or was it sorta like 'hey, all's not lost here..' ? *shrug*
He gets away with saying "I can't take my eyes off you" 5 times in a row without sounding corny. ;p
Ok people.. be prepared to have your heart taken away...
------------------------------
(Damien Rice)
And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off of you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...
Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off of you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
