At this moment

Thomas Jefferson:
I steer my bark with hope in the head, leaving fear astern. My hopes indeed sometimes fail, but not oftener than the forebodings of the gloomy.
Will Durant:
The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
Winston Churchill:
The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
Audre Lorde:
The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference.

As of today, I have been sick for 4 weeks been to the doctor a total of 3 times.
My throat is painful and my nose is blocked most of the time.
Apart from that, I am having trouble breathing, thank you very much.
Sleepless nights because of my throat, horrible headaches here and there.
Does it hamper my studying? … do I even have to answer that? X.xlll
Time does fly… even when you are sick and not having any fun at all… ok, its not that bad, when I can focus my mind on studies instead of the pain which my body feels… when I am really ‘lost’ in studying, that is the best… I don bother about anything else… bliss…no pain…hai… can’t believe its come to this right? Shesh~
I have seen the doctor so many times this year that the doc even has a nick name for me…
Only God knows why I am still sick after so freaking long.
And - Yes, you could say that I am sick of being sick.

Clay Aiken sang the following two songs during his time on the second season of American Idol.
I was a cynic about the series until I heard Clay sing ‘At this moment’.
I literally melted when he belted out that song. Melt as in terminal liquidation on the spot… he is that good. Yes, that damn good~
*swoon*
What more when he came onto the stage during the recent finale of Season 5!
I was a bit taken shocked by the way he looked, which is a far cry from what he used to look like when he first appeared on my television screen… but all the same, he looks wonderful :)
Oh how I miss listening to him singing live…

"At This Moment" -- Billy Vera & The Beaters (live)
What did you think,
I would do at this moment,
When you're standing before me,
With tears in your eyes..
Tryin to tell me that you,
Found you another..
And you just don't love me, No more..
What did you think,
I would say at this moment,
When I'm faced with the knowledge,
That you just don't love me..
Did you think I would curse you,
Or say things to hurt you,
Cause you just don't love me no more..
Did you think I could hate you,
Or raise my hands to you,
Now come on you know me too well..
How could I hurt you,
When darling I love you,
And you know, I'd never hurt you..
What do you think,
I would give at this moment,
If you stay I'd subtract twenty years from my life..
I'd fall down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on,
If I could just hold you again..
I'd fall down on my knees,
Kiss the ground that you walk on baby,
If I could just hold you..
If I, Could just, Hold you..
If I....If I could just hold you...
Again.

I could not ask for more by Sara Evans
Written by Diane Warren

Lieing here with you
listenin' to the rain
smilin just to see
the smile upon your face

These are the moments
I thank god that I'm alive
These are the moments I remember all my life
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

Looking in your eyes
seein' all I need
Everything you are
Is everything to me

These are the moments
I know heaven must exist
These are the moments
I know all I need is this
I've found all I've waited for
And I could not ask for more

I could not ask for more than this time together
Could not ask for more than this time with you
And Every prayer has been answered,
Every dream I've had's come true
I've found all I've waited for,
And I could not ask for more.

Aight… that’s it!
All the best peeps~!
Back to the medication and books… not a very good combination… oh well, at least I have Clay to keep me company...
-hysterical laughter-
The joy of the Lord is my strength!
Woohooo~

Ssssss...

Pearl S. Buck:
None who have always been free can understand the terrible fascinating power of the hope of freedom to those who are not free.
Pearl S. Buck:
To eat bread without hope is still slowly to starve to death.
Samuel Johnson:
The natural flights of the human mind are not from pleasure to pleasure but from hope to hope.

Sharon has fallen Sick ... again...
this time i am unable to Speak and Sing... the doc also asked me not to talk for 2 days, but i have extended the period to 4 days... haha... see how long i can last @.@

Studying is Sucky when one hath fallen Sick, have to injest medication at Specific times and Sleep quite a bit. Not that i am complaining, i think i lack in that department, but then again, the next paper is next Friday. O.O
Yeah... time to burn some mid-night oil babeh~

It is kinda hard communicating with my family when i am unable to Speak.
I would use Sign-language, but they don understand it. Haha... so i resort to writing everything out or doing some sort of mime to the message.
As with all languages and forms of communication, there are times when there is miscommunication.
Perfect scenerio: Eating dinner with my father.
I point at a particular dish and want to know what it is.
Dear old dad thinks that i want to eat it and goes on to say that i should not be eating it since i am sick and it is not going to help me get any better.
At this time, i still donno what the hack that dish is!
It turns out to be carrot-cake!
Shesh~
Go figure~

Just finished watching the finals of this year's American Idol... So Sad that Chris is not the one performing on stage, instead, we have a Cat and a White haired fella.
Not to say that i am not rooting for either, i think both have come a long way since the beginning of the season. And they both have matured in their own way.
Who do i think will win?
Going by the trend that Americans have set: The Cat McFee
Who do i want to win?
Just for the sake of having a more even ratio: Taylor Hicks.
There are far too many female winners!
Give me back my Clay Aiken!
Considering that America would have already cast their votes by the time i have written this, i really have no idea what the outcome will be.
I just know that things would have been a hck of a lot different if Chris had gotten enough votes to stay in.

The Second Season of Porject Runway begins tonight!
Yay! Yay! Yay!
Let the bitching, Sewing and Stitching as well as Skretching begin!
Can't wait to See who is in and who is out... heehee~

Happy Birthday Swee Shoon~!!!!!
Hope you had a good time and flight :)
See you Soon~

Just 3 more weeks to go guys!
We can do it one!
Jia you you you you~!!!!

Aight!
Back to the books~!

Tay's Anatomy

Pearl S. Buck:
Life without idealism is empty indeed. We just hope or starve to death.
Rita Mae Brown:
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.
Robert Fulghum:
I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge -- myth is more potent than history -- dreams are more powerful than facts -- hope always triumphs over experience -- laughter is the cure for grief -- love is stronger than death.

The studying marathon continues… with a vengence…
True, true, yes, yes… it is hard to get my groove back after the end of the first paper, since all the stress was allocated to that paper at that time.
But I really hope that my brain will be able to get back into the overtime mode asap.
No more playing man~
I have used up my 2 ‘fun’ days as it is and the next paper is creeping up damn blardy soon… aargh~

So many things to do with so little time to finish them in…

It is such a waste that Chris got voted off AI!
Shesh~
Now I can’t be bothered about the results… He was the one I was counting on to win lor~

On an up side, Aras won Survivor and my hippies won the Amazing Race!
Haha… finally people I am rooting for win… Now all that’s left is to place bets for the coming World Cup!
Haha… kidding~

X-Men 3: Last Stand is opening next Thursday!
Woohooo~
Can’t wait to see Wolverine, Storm and the whole gang!
Hugh Jackman… *sigh, swoon and drool*

I have been thinking about a particular episode from Grey’s Anatomy lately… the one I wrote about in a previous post. Was talking to Julia about it too the other night… I was saying that I wouldn’t mind watch that episode again, even though I know I would probably end up bawling my eyes out with all those tears… yes, I am a sap… got a problem with that? :p
Here’s a line from that episode…
Derek: She asked me to tell you...She wanted you to know, that if love were enough...that if love were enough, that she'd still be here with you.

I’ve got so many things running through my head that I want to write about…
I am confused and yet clear headed.
I am high and yet grounded.
I donno what I want and yet I am very sure about some things.
I am excited about the exams and yet I don’t want the study period to end.
I want to go swimming!
Sooo looking forward to watching the next episode of Grey’s Anatomy~

Keep adding oil people!
We can do it one!
Study and breakthrough we all shall!
Back to the files/notes and books!
Banzai!

Queen of the Universe

Ralph Waldo Emerson:
We must be as courteous to a man as we are to a picture, which we are willing to give the advantage of a good light.
Samuel Johnson:
Always set high value on spontaneous kindness. He whose inclination prompts him to cultivate your friendship of his own accord will love you more than one whom you have been at pains to attach to you.
Scott Adams:
Remember there's no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.
Seneca:
Wherever there is a human being, there is a chance for a kindness.

Hmm… let see what I have been up to since my last post:
(in no particular order)
Studied in B.
BCM Teachers’ Rendezvous.
Studied while at the chalet.
POA UOL exam.
Almost fainted in school.
Went to SP after my final local lecture… which also happened to be POA
Studied at home
Finished the UOL revision lectures
Studied with Desmond, Aziz, Shirleena, Paul and Yen…
Made new friends around the school…
Studied at the CC with Long Jie.
Stayed at home a lot.
And last but not least… I have fallen sick… zip-pidi-do-blardy-da~

Apart from coughing like crazy and the other irritating elements… I get headaches and dizzy spells… shesh~

Studying marathons are more fun when others who are also going through the same subjects are studying with you.
It’s not as tiring… and it is more fun… did I just say ‘fun’? O.olll

By the way, I practiced POA until I like it… can you believe it?
I now like POA… my gwad~
Let’s see if I can make myself like the other subjects even more than I already do…
Either one of two things might happen:
I will like the subjects more… OR
I will detest them like crazy
O.O
Aiyo~~
I will be hoping and praying for the best in my continued charge toward the other 3 papers… :)

Gwad… how I miss training… shesh~
Its been more than a month since I last put on my gi and kicked targets… make that two months… gosh… how time flies… I wonder if I will be able to find my way back to my love… x.xlll

Sedilix be the name of the medication I am on this time around… its pink and tastes like a combination of strawberry and strong, bitter menthol-ish hex sweets… hahaha… makes me drowsy though… haha

I like this season’s American Idol… the guys are good… and I am rooting for one in particular… hahah
-migumi laughter-
I like that they are constantly playing Queen’s music… coz I am a fan of their music… heh… any show that plays their music wins my vote… :D

Queen – Somebody to love

Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief, Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?


Queen – Princes of the Universe

Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers

Hey...
And here we are
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of your world

Oh!
I am immortal
I have inside me blood of kings (Yeah, yeah!)
I have no rival
No man can be my equal
Take me to the future of new earth

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
No man could understand
My power is in my own hand

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
People talk about you
People say you've had your day
I'm a man that will go far
Fly the moon and reach for the stars
With my sword and head held high
Got to pass the test first time, yeah
I know that people talk about me
I hear it every day
But I can prove you wrong 'cause I'm right first time
Yeah yeah

Alright, let's go, let's go
Haha!
Yeh...watch this man fly
Bring on the girls
Bababa!

Here we are (here we are)
Born to be kings, we're princes of the universe
Here will we belong

Born to be kings, princes of the universe
Fighting and free, got your world in my hand
I'm here for your love and I'll make my stand
We were born to be princes of the universe
