I am updating my blog now!!!

But first, new song! Yes, I know I just changed it like, 3 days ago, but I just realised that Alan Luo has a new album that came out on Boxing Day! 26/11!! I am so slow...=.="

ANYWAYS this song was in Hot Shot as well for those that watched...

LYRICS


没原因 就是喜欢你
在初次相遇 有重逢的心情
深呼吸 让心动隐形
完美的爱情 是无声的旋律

听 我听你 不确定的语气
等 我等你 放下你的犹豫
嘿 如果你 轻轻闭上眼睛
我会明白 你做的决定

Cause I Believe 那幸福不灭的定律
在你手心 会有谁给你的美丽
静者恒静 就让我的心安静地守着你
祝福不用回音

没原因 就是喜欢你
就像海眷恋 天空般 的心情
你前进 看着你背影
就足够世界 无条件 的放晴

你 如果已 爱上他的姓名
爱 如果已 没有我的空隙
嘿 只要你 可以永远开心
我会情愿 渐渐被忘记

Cause I Believe 那幸福不灭的定律
在你手心 会有谁给你的美丽
静者恒静 就让我的心安静地守着你
把祝福送给你

Oh I believe Cause I believe
那幸福不灭的定律
你的手心 不一定要由我握紧
就像恒星 总会有发光的原因

Oh I believe 你值得被珍惜
也值得我放弃
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!

WOAH~

I haven't looked around Youtube for Dharni for sometime now, and today there was a feat. video that was about beatboxing and it brought back that one memory from watching Dharni perform in Coral Sec for Teacher's Day one year, so I decided to do a search and see if he has any new videos.

Well, basic intro about Dharni would be that he's Singapore's best and most recognised beatboxer, and is also top 5 in the world (apparently, gotta check though). Anywas, he's freaking awesome and the beats he come up with is just SICK! (In a good way)...He was in Coral Sec, then went to Temasek Poly in Singapore, don't know about after that though, cause I am not acquainted with him at all.

This is what you call, a motor mouth:





Above videos were taken while he was at a 'workshop' in Berlin for the World's Beatboxer Championship thingy, I think. Obviously the vids don't belong to me.

And this was put up by Dharni himself on youtube, that was in 2005...


And a last one to end this post~ If you can't be bothered to listen to the whole thing, at least hear it from 1:26 onwards cause he did a few trumpet scratchings around that time and it's awesome:


Okay, before that, one last fella worth noting which Jason told me about before: Rien from TP as well.
This first vid, I have seen tens of times and have never gotten sick of it! ^^

Blogging bug bites~

Don't worry, I am not gonna put up a recipe and steps again, but I am gonna put up 2 photos of food; my lunch and dinner today. ^^ Cause I attempted something new.

Because of Chef Hao, I became hungry. I was looking at his San Bei Chicken (Taiwanese 3 Cups Chicken?) photo on Facebook, so I decided to attempt this dish~ Now, other than for Yang Hao's rendition which I presume to be rather authentic, I have never tried this dish anywhere else, so I have no idea what its supposed to taste like, and have based the results by comparing it with Hao's version...


It was good, but there was no "PHWOAR!!! Damn nice!" effect that Hao's food gives off. Hmm...I wonder if there's something wrong with my steps. My version was a little 'too' spicy cause I put in too many dried chillies!! But it was alright with the egg fried rice that I made to go with it. Yum yum...

Then dinner was:


Baked Crusted Lamb Rack served with a side of mash potatoes and broccoli & carrots (with herb/cream sauce). ^^... Yet to perfect the art of baking the crust on lamb racks...Can't seem to get it crispy enough...-.-", nevermind, I get to practice next year. XD

Anyways! I have started studying for my last paper! And to motivate myself, I have changed my wallpaper which makes me smile whenever I look at it! But that's not the point...I really hope and pray that I can get into vet sci cause I think I am in deep shit for my results this semester...>.<"...

One last paper to go, 60 MCQs, 2 hours...Plant Utilisation for Agricultural and Natural Environments (yes, the name of the course is too long). CHIONG AR~

Okay, all that study talk aside. I found a new song that I am currently obsessed with! It's called "The Wedding Song" by Chester See (remember the guy on Youtube?), and it's currently playing on loop on iTunes. I swear...I want it as my future wedding song!

The link above (his name) shows you to his Myspace page where you can find the song. I can't find it on youtube, and imeem is bonkers, so go check it out. I have the lyrics right here for those that are too lazy.

The Wedding Song (Chester See):

It's in your eyes
And it's in your smile
It's the way you kiss
It's never been like this before

It's the way you laugh
And all the times we had
It's the way you search
I've never loved so much before

The phone calls I never wanted to end
It's like I am falling in love over and again

You are everything that my life's
Been missing and now I
Can't believe this is happening to me

Through the good and bad
The happy and the sad
You won't be away from home
You will never be alone
From LA to Rome

Now with this ring
I promise that I'll be
The faithful and true
Devoted to you through it all

And I'll gladly be
Your one and everything
Right by your side
A shoulder when you cry if you fall

And I'll love you more
With everyday that ends
It's like I'm falling in love over and again

You are everything that my life's
Been missing and now I
Can't believe this is happening to me

Through the good and bad
The happy and the sad
You won't be away from home
You will never be alone
From LA to Rome

I couldn't dream a better life
Without you right there by my side

You are everything that my life's
Been missing and now I
Can't believe this is happening to me

Through the good and bad
The happy and the sad
You won't be away from home
Never be alone
From LA
LA to Rome

LA to Rome~
LA to Rome...

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

Aren't the lyrics just so beautiful!?

I love Chester See!! His other song God Damn You Are Beautiful is also really awesome, so check it out on Youtube or you can hear it on his myspace link here: Chester See

Two papers down, and one last left to go!!! ^^...Have 8 more days to my next paper so I am gonna relax for a little more and then hit the books.

ANYWAYS...Most of you guys know that I love David Choi right? Well, today I found another Youtube crush; Chester See!!

I think he's a friend of David Choi which I how I found him. I saw their cover of the song Hallelujah by David Cohen, and I just went *0.o* "GYA!!! Me likey~"

Here's the vid:


So I decided to look around for who that guy is, and turns out he co-wrote a song with David Choi, called Invisible, that is also up on youtube:


Well...Yea, I have no idea what to type, and I am gonna go "GO CHECK OUT HIS ORIGINAL SONGS!". Especially God Damn You Are Beautiful.

OH and do check out David Choi as well eh?

*Hearts David Choi & Chester See*

OH, I am gonna make a post of my cheesecakes soon~ Yes, cheesecakeS, plural...

Can't sleep...Think it's the nerves...Or that I fell asleep for 6 hours from 3 to 9pm early in the afternoon. Sigh...

Well, at least now that I am well awake, I can continue my Biology revision eh?

ANYWAYS, new song up on the blog! 稻香 by Jay Chou, I really like this song. I remember I used to dislike Jay Chou when he first came out as an artist cause the first few songs I heard from him were "Dad, I am home" and "Nanchucks" (Pa, Wo Hui Lai Le & Shuang Jie Gun), and I honestly was thinking "Wthell..." when I heard them. I think only started buying his albums after he came out with November's Chopin cause I liked the piano playing in a few songs.

Am so getting his new album once I get back to SG, even though I have the song files in my iPod already. 0.0...Favourites from this album are 稻香,说好的幸福呢, 童年的时光机 & 乔克叔叔.

Well, haven't done DeviantArt Features on my blog for a loooong time now. So here goes:


To Bathe In Gold by =The-Saboteur on deviantART


Conversation without words by ~Stockholm--Syndrome on deviantART


rock, hudson by *hotburrito2 on deviantART


Chessboard by *angelreich on deviantART


The Lost Highway by *Toope on deviantART


Summer Pathos by =The-Saboteur on deviantART

I shall officially name myself "THE PROCRASTINATOR!"

It's like I have a major test on Wednesday for Plant and Animal Biology and here I am watching TW Dramas, surfing Youtube, Karaoke-ing in my room (neighbours must be going nuts), blogging and doing everything except studying!! >.<"

Anyways, new song up on da blog!! It's Show 羅志祥's 當我們宅一塊! I think the MV is super cute can! Not to say the song is also really upbeat, keeps me awake when studying (if I am studying that is)!

Lyrics here:

爱过来当我们宅一块
就算没有豪宅屋屋屋屋满满爱
亲过来让我们宅一块
跟你窝著棉被浪漫过冬
幸福的宅

无时无刻对幸福的期待(why)
就是你无理取闹的可爱姿态(吼)
每天我的心脏都快跳出来(扑通)
不知你有没有感受我的眼神煞到爱

完美型男遇上可爱宅女就被打败
搞不懂你还教会狗狗12连拍(喀嚓)
你说你的生活拒绝无赖跟耍赖
只想找个真爱真爱

如果你期待爱
生活愉快跟我幸福百分百
我也可以很宅就为了爱
你别大惊小怪快把爱说出来

爱过来当我们宅一块
就算没有豪宅屋屋屋屋满满爱
亲过来让我们宅一块
跟你窝著棉被浪漫过冬
幸福的宅

请你别再怀疑我的心意
我只想要跟你宅一起做什么都可以
看个几片dvd 打个wii
oh everybody love in the house

lady lady忧郁拿去贴墙壁
把我的爱放在你心底
跟我爱一起
跟我宅一起
每一天都happy

如果你期待爱
生活愉快跟我幸福百分百
我也可以很宅就为了爱
你别大惊小怪快把爱说出来

爱过来当我们宅一块
就算没有豪宅屋屋屋屋满满爱
亲过来让我们宅一块
跟你窝著棉被浪漫过冬
幸福的宅

boom boom 到底ok不ok
boom boom 跟我说一声ok
给你秀秀不要扭扭捏捏
给你秀秀害羞拿去消灭

boom boom 到底ok不ok
boom boom 跟我说一声ok
型男型女要一起 say hey
宅男宅女为爱一起 say hey

罗志祥-当我们宅一块

爱过来当我们宅一块
就算没有豪宅屋屋屋屋满满爱
亲过来让我们宅一块
跟你窝著棉被浪漫过冬
幸福的宅

So, turns out Wilber Pan also has a bew album that's been out for sometime already. Listened to the new song on that album and really liked it!



Super nice! XD...Well, at least I think so. So this song and JJ's Always Online is being played on loop on my laptop and my ipod. =D

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

It's TUESDAY again!! And we all know what Tuesday is gross day for me sometimes. Last week, it was the digestive tract of the pig, this week it's the digestive tract of the sheep! What's the main difference? Well, the pig had a way stronger pungent smell to it. Nah, seriously, the pig is not a ruminant while the sheep is, meaning that the pig has one stomach while the sheep has 4 (Reticulum, Rumen, Omasum and Abomasum).

Sheep's intestines and the rest of the digestive tract wasn't as smelly as the pig's but I sure don't want to smell it again anytime soon! Oh, and there was a dead chicken which one of the students dissected to show the internal organs as well, because avians have a different digestive tract compared to mammals.

Spent some time in school catching up on my AGRC1019 Plant and Animal Biology notes and revision cause the mid-semester exam is coming soon!!! Next Wednesday to be exact, so I have little more than a week left to prepare, YIKES! It's not a MCQ paper this time, but a short answer question paper. I am so so so dead if I don't start mugging now.

Chemistry practical tomorrow...I wonder what's going to happen. Hmmmm

Been watching a few Taiwan Idol dramas as well, after finishing 命中住定我爱你. Been watching 籃球火 (up to ep 7, but I think I am gonna stop soon cause the basketball playing is =.="), 不良笑花 (up to ep 2. So far so good, but Rainie Yeung's voice is kinda annoying) & 无敌珊宝妹 (Up to ep 4. I don't know what to make of it, but will keep watching cause it's interesting. Has the main 命中住定我爱你 cast in it, but only for a small part)

籃球火 main cast: 羅志祥 Alan Luo (Xiao Zhu/Show), 言承旭 Jerry Yan & 吳尊 Wu Zun
不良笑花 main cast: 楊丞琳 Rainie Yeung, 潘瑋柏 Wilber Pan !!
无敌珊宝妹 main cast: 張棟樑 Nicholas Teo & 郭采潔 Amber Kuo

Edit:

Found out that JJ Lin's new album is gonna be released soon! The song currently playing on my blog is one of his main hits on this album. Song name: Always Online. I like it, it's one of my faves now...XD

Anyways, unofficial lyrics courtesy of Seahorse333 on Youtube.com

變色的生活
平靜的跳搏
瘋狂的蒙住了頭

短短的守候
是他的温柔
還是少了點什麼

遙遠兩端愛掛在天空飛
風停了也無所謂
只因為你曾說
Everthing will be ok

準備好了
Three two one
I'm always online
和你one to one
爱開始擴散

我们連接了穿越天空銀河

開始倒數
Three two one
想出我的孤單
More and more
既是深刻

愛亮了
愛笑了
I'm always online

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

Been having weird dreams lately. A few that freaked me out so much I woke up sweating. Seriously man...

In one of them, my friend's dad had a stroke, and I had that dream 2 nights in a row, it was like continuous and ended with a...funeral. 0.o"...Wtheck can?! And none of our other friends were there, just me, him and his whole family. I know who it is, but the rest of the dream was pretty much a blur, and I didn't get to see the dad. Super freaky!

In another one, there was a fire in Coral Sec and elephants were used to put out the fire along with the cranes and fire brigade and whatever. Then one elephant got spooked and came after me, it was chasing me everywhere and trying to hit me with it's trunk and what not. It managed to hit me a few times and almost squashed me when it reared up. 0.o" Then it became 3 elephants and I managed to squeeze into a narrow alley where the elephants couldn't get me. Then my alarm clock rang...Saved by the bell~ XD

I don't want another nightmare tonight please, been having them like for 4 nights already. Others I can't remember...And I am still suffering from insonmia!! I sleep at like 3-4am!!! T.T

A new song's playing on my blog. It's an original by Sarah Kim on Youtube, and she's so good on the guitar, plus she has a good voice! Check her profile out here: Lilsarah22.

The song's titled High, and here are the lyrics:

I must admit that I miss you
are you with friends getting high
and not on me

I haven't called cuz you don't understand
but in the end, I still want to know

Are you seeing painted lights
And misread signs?
with eyes half-closed and in the dark
is your heart searching for more?

Don't worry about me cuz ive moved on
Caring for you is harder now
now theres a line that I cant cross
so ill stay over here and pray for you, pray for you

i cant see you cuz I wont save you
I wont save you cuz I cant mold you

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

Anyways, it's been awhile since I had some music covers up, so I am gonna spam!

*Note: The post about birthday celebrations in the city is right after this one. ^^*

I have a new FAVOURITE SONG!!! Well, actually I have a few...为你写诗 by 吴克群 for one, 爱爱爱 & Love Song by 方大同 for another. Heh...But my current obsession that I will be playing over and over and over again is the one playing on my blog.

小乌龟 by 张栋梁 (Nicholas Teo)...The lyrics are cute, and I like the melody of the song. ^^ Here are the lyrics:

Ia Ia Ia Ia Ia
Ia Ia Ia Ia Ia

这首歌要给一个人
歌声代替语言 
深情只增不减
那一刻吻她的脸

地转天旋
爱的感觉 比樱桃更甜
双眼放送闪电 能超越极限
让人忘了季节 爱成了经典
为他付出所有爱恋

要你永远是我的小乌龟
我爱你 每一天

Ia Ia Ia Ia Ia
Ia Ia Ia Ia Ia

这首歌要给一个人
歌声代替语言 
深情只增不减
那一刻吻她的脸

地转天旋
爱的感觉 比樱桃更甜
双眼放送闪电 能超越极限
让人忘了季节 爱成了经典
为他付出所有爱恋

要你永远是我的小乌龟
我爱你 每一天

要你永远是我的小乌龟
我爱你 每一天


爱的感觉 比樱桃更甜
双眼放送闪电 能超越极限
让人忘了季节 爱成了经典
为他付出所有爱恋

要你永远是我的小乌龟
我爱你 每一天


Am hopelessly in love with this song...All thanks to 微笑PASTA!! ^^

It wasn't that long since my last "music" post, and that was filled with guitar covers. This one will be brimming with piano covers. XD

Have started falling back in love with the Piano recently, well, I can't always let the guitar steal the limelight in my life eh? And I discovered that I like a liking for the cello as well after two of the covers that I found on Youtube.

One of my current favourites is what you are hearing on my blog now. It's 我不配 by 周杰倫, and the covered is played by betaunknown. He is really good from what I can tell. But then again, the knowledge I have about instruments is just about the same amount of knowledge I have about economics. XD

Okay, less talk, more music. Let me just put up some covers that are currently my favourite! All 10 covers are chinese songs though, and they are just instrumental.

1)王力宏's 落葉歸根, covered by ahdee5.

-Yep, this is the one that started my liking of the cello, go to their page for the other video-

2)周杰伦's 不能说的秘密, covered by Betaunkown


3)周杰伦's 枫, covered by Terencefooyc


4)光良's 約定, covered by Waitkit38


5)周杰伦's 安静, covered by Betaunkown


6)唐禹哲's 最愛還是你最, (no performer stated, video is imageless)


7)周杰伦's 菊花台, covered by Terencefooyc


8)林俊杰's 翅膀, covered by Terencefooyc


9)林俊杰's 被风吹过的夏天, covered by Slim5700


10)林俊杰's 一千年以后, covered by Slim5700


Okay, that's all for now. Will be putting up other covers sometime soon.

Been watching Jay Chou's movie, 不能說的秘密 (Secret). I must say, I was never a Jay Chou fan, but I was mesmerized by his piano playing!! Anyway, before my raving about 小夜曲 which has nothing to do with the movie, I got to say. YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE MOVIE!!! Didn't expect much of it, but I LOVE the twist in the story at the end. If you don't at least watch it, then you are missing out on something REALLY good...^^

Okay, moving on...

Then suddenly thought of the piece Serenade by Franz Schubert or known as 小夜曲 in chinese, which was played in the Korean Drama Summer Scent that I watched a loong time ago!

This is the video of the piece in the drama...



And here is the version played by this kid which I found on Youtube.



I love the guitar, but I admire the piano(if you get what I mean)!!! But then, in my opinion, Schubert's Serenade should be played on the piano more than any other instruments cause that's where it sounds best.

A good guitarist might leave me awestrucked but a pianist always leaves me mesmerized. >.<"

Okay, back to the movie...

I am so thoroughly in love with Youtube's musicians and their array of acoustic guitar covers!! I am absolutely in love with acoustic guitars, head over heels in fact. Hahas, well, this post will be dedicated to some of my favourite covers by the musicians on Youtube. Kudos to them, and keep it up ya?! In the order which I searched for the covers. IF you only want to listen to like 1 or 2, you absolutely have to listen to the Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved cover, Ryan Cabera's True cover and Delta Goodrem's Lost Without You cover.

First up, Hoobastank's The Reason, covered by user Fargenbastich



Maroon 5's She Will Be Loved, covered by Rlisias



Dashboard Confessionals' Vindicated, covered by Jeremyvandehey



Maroon 5's This Love, covered by Rlisias



Ronan Keating's When You Say Nothing At All, covered by Rlisias



Counting Crow's Accidentally In Love, covered by Rlisias



Ryan Cabera's True, Covered by DisneyPiratePal



Delta Goodrem's Lost Without You, covered by DaViglio



Okay, that's about it for now! Hope you like those covers as much as I do. ^^

This post half satisfied my craving for acoustic guitar. Hahas, been so long since I heard anyone play live.

New song on blog, titled The Story Of A Girl by Nine Days and Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie. Here are the lyrics:

The Story Of A Girl

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so in the photograph
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many lovers would stay
Just to put up with this
Every day and all day
Now how did we wind up this way
Watching our mouths for the words that we say
As long as we stand here waiting
Wearing the clothes or the soles that we choose
Now how do we get there today
When we're walking too far for the price of our shoes

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

[Guitar solo]

Well your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in the photograph
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a girl
Her pretty face she hid from the world
And while she looks so sad and lonely there
I absolutely love her

This is the story of a - girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looks so sad in the photograph
I absolutely love her
When she smiles
When she smi-iles!

-Nine Days-
------------------------------------------------------

Big Girls Don't Cry
La da da da

The smell of your skin lingers on me now
You're probably on your flight back to your home town
I need some shelter of my own protection baby
To be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity

[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

The path that I'm walking, I must go alone
I must take the baby steps till I'm full grown, full grown.
Fairytales don't always have a happy ending, do they?
And I forseek the dark ahead if I stay

[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry

Like the little school mate in the school yard
We'll play jacks and uno cards
I'll be your best friend and you'll be my valentine
Yes you can hold my hand if you want to
'Cause I want to hold yours too
We'll be playmates and lovers and share our secret worlds

But it's time for me to go home
It's getting late, dark outside
I need to be with myself in center
Clarity, peace, serenity
Yeah

[chorus:]
I hope you know, I hope you know
That this has nothing to do with you
It's personal, myself and I
We've got some straightenin' out to do
And I'm gonna miss you like a child misses their blanket
But I've got to get a move on with my life
It's time to be a big girl now
And big girls don't cry
Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry

La da da da da da

Hmmm...New playlist up!!

Songs are :-

1)Closer To Me (Five)
2)One Last (Taufik Batisah)
3)Like I Never Loved You At All (Take That)

I like these songs, I have no idea why, but anyway, thanks to Qahhar Abang for passing these songs to me! Haha, according to him, I took almost his whole stash of English songs!!! Been listening to Closer To Me for like a whole day today.

LYRICS TIME, song by song.

-CLOSER TO ME (FIVE)-

Constantly girl you're on my mind,
and girl I think about you all of the time
and even though words are hard to say,
girl I miss you, never thought I'd feel this way.

If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'

You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.

Nobody's there when I call your name,
and nights are cold girl without your flame.
But if I could girl I'd make you see.
That I'm sorry, and that I need you here with me.

If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'

You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.

Every day reminisce with the past
of a love that we thought would last.
How we used to be when it was you and me.
How did it all disappear so fast.
There are days that I can't forget
There are things that I now regret.
I was there for you when you were there for me, and I was thinkin' we were set.
Every night when I'm laying in my bed
I hear your voice going round in my head, think of all the things I could have done and all those things I could have said.
I really will make it up to you
I know now what I've got to do,
It took time but now I've realised how much I'm missing you.

If you keep on taking, my heart you'll be breaking so why do you do this to me'
You know how I'm feeling it's you I believe in baby can't you see that I need you'

You know that it's true.
Every time I see your face I miss you baby
You know that it's you.
I want to let you know you're driving me crazy.
I'd do anything to help you to see, I don't think you understand what you're doing to me.
You know that it's true.
Every now and then I want to call you baby.
You know that it's you.
I say a prayer that you'll come back to me lady.
Oh yeah.
Life ain't anything alone can't you see you're an angel in my eyes,
everyday you're closer to me.

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

-ONE LAST (TAUFIK)-
Never could imagine, life without you
From the moment you walked into my world
Never knew how long a loving flame could burn
But losing you has forced me to learn
That we can't change the way we feel inside
And every try at love never turns out right
We both know it's better if we just let it go
So let's have

One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go

Everytime I try to take a stand at all
I see your face again and I fall
In the middle of the night there's the scent of a rose
The smell of your perfume I suppose
But we can't change the way we feel inside
And every try at love never turns out right
We both know it's better if we just let it go
So let's have

One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go

Baby if we met each other under a different sky
Maybe then things would be much better between you and I
We could always hold on to this one special thing we share
But it would be too much for us to bear
So let's have

One last kiss
One last touch
One last tender moment between us
One last dance
To our first song
While pretending there's nothing wrong
Let's stay here for awhile and
Cherish every moment we're in denial
We both know
Its better if we just let it go

We both know
It's better if we just let it go

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

-Like I Never Loved You At All (TAKE THAT)-

Where, where are the stars?
The one that we used to call ours
Can't imagine it now
We used to laugh till we fell down.

The secrets we had, are now in the past
From something to nothing, tell me.

How did we lose our way?
It's hard to remember
All that we shared
Now we both have separate lives
From lovers to strangers, now alone
There's no one catching my fall
No one to hear my all
It's like I never loved you at all.

Now you're so far away
And I see our star is fading
One too many times
Guess it just got tired of waiting around.

The nights that we thought, if these walls could talk
From something to nothing, tell me.

So now does he give you love
Is it only me now that's thinking ok, what we had and what we were
Did you ever care, baby was I ever there?

Just a quick post before sleeping.

Talking about sleeping, nowadays, I don't seem to be able to sleep unless I am playing songs by Michael Learns To Rock (MLTR) and Face Off! It's like I have this playlist on iTunes that I play just before and while I am sleeping, and the songs are like:

25 Minutes (MLTR)
Complicated Heart (MLTR)
That's Why (MLTR)
I'm Gonna Be Around (MLTR)
Weird Summer (Face Off)
Don't Lie To Me (Face Off)
Stupid (Face Off)
Wait For Me (Elliott Yamin)
Rainbow (South Border)
Out Of My League (Stephen Speaks)

Won't be surprised if you guys haven't heard of the last 2 songs or the band that plays and sings the song, cause South Border is actually a Filipino band (correct me if I am wrong) from what Emir told me, and Stephen Speaks is...I don't know, pretty unknown I guess. Hmmm....Face Off is actually my brother's friend's band so it's not surprising if you don't know them, but all I can say is, Hey! I like these songs.

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

Stomach's been feeling queasy from morning. No idea why, probably the bread I had at Al's place was stale or something. Hmmm...I actually understood the Physics lesson today!!! YAY! Like for ONCE! Haha, maybe cause it was just refraction and reflection. But still, when I had Mrs. Ho, I knew nuts about light refraction and reflection. Hee...

And I am still craving Sg's food. Damn you ieatishootipost!! (in a good way, cause I love that blog!!) The bad thing about being a Singaporean, you expect everything to have a structure and once there is no structure or you are not told like what you have to do specifically, you can't do it! It's like people cannot write an essay without being given a certain format to write it cause we are so "kiasu" (scared of losing) that we don't know whether what we are doing is acceptable. We become kind of narrow-minded in a sense. On a lighter note, SG-eans everywhere, especially in western countries will feel really deprived of food! Cause SG is a food paradise afterall!! Any kind of food, you will find it in SG, anytime you want to have something, it will be selling somewhere on our little island. Now, when I come here, I don't hate the food, I just cannt help but compare the standards. -.-". And if I am hungry in the middle of the night, I just have to deal with it or have cookies.

Ok...I shall stop rambling.

About to go to sleep.

New songs playing on my blog. Out Of My League and Passenger Seat by Stephen Speaks.

Heard it on Emir PDA while I was fooling around with it and fell in love with the song. Hahas, ok, lyrics time:

Out Of My League:

It's her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i'm falling further in love
makes me shiver, but in a good way

All the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
as she purses her lips
bats her eyes
and she plays with me
sitting there, slack-jawed and nothing to say

Cos i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes
along with my hands

Cos she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

It's a masterful melody
when she calls out my name to me
as the world spins around her
she laughs, rolls her eyes
and i feel like i'm falling
but it's not surprise

Cos i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes
along with my hands

Cos she's all that i see and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

Cos it's frightening to be
swimming in this strange sea
but i'd rather be here than on land

yes she's all that i see
and she's all that i need
and i'm out of my league once again

(Repeat all above)

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

Passenger Seat

I look at her and have to smile
As we go driving for a while
Looking nowhere in the open window of my car
And as we go the traffic lights
Watch them glimmer in her eyes
In the darkness of the evening

And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

We stop to get something to drink
My mind pounds and I can't think
Scared to death to say i love her
Then a moon peeks from the clouds
Hear my heart that beats so loud
Try to tell her simply

That I've got all the I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

Oh and I've got all the I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

Oh and I know this love grow

Oh I've got all the I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat
Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road
Knowing that she's inches from me

And I've got all that I need
Right here in the passenger seat

Well, I have had this song for some time now but I only just actually listened to the lyrics. And I really really like it cause somehow, I can relate it to me now. Hahas, what crap.

Anyways, Just So You Know by Jesse McCartney

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

I shouldn't love you but I want to
I just can't turn away
I shouldn't see you but I can't move
I can't look away

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop

Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now

Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you
But I don't want to

I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

It's getting hard to be around you
There's so much I can't say
Do you want me to hide the feelings
And look the other way

And I don't know how to be fine when I'm not
'Cause I don't know how to make a feeling stop


Just so you know
This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it
I won't sit around, I can't let him win now

Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you

But I don't want to

I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

This emptiness is killing me
And I'm wondering why I've waited so long
Looking back I realize
It was always there just never spoken
I'm waiting here...been waiting here
Just so you know

This feeling's taking control of me
And I can't help it

I won't sit around, I can't let him win now

Thought you should know
I've tried my best to let go of you

But I don't want to

I just gotta say it all
Before I go
Just so you know

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

What's related to me now, is actually the bolded parts. I need to talk to someone! I am going to explode if I don't!!!
