2nd day of the Lunar New Year!
Hope everyone had a good first day and eve reunion dinner :)
May your ang pow collections be bountiful guys~
I survived the marathon!
Oh yeah~
And I even did better than I expected… hehe… the lectures were fruitful and the things done were satisfying.
Just imagine studying psychology for an entire day. *swoons*
Don’t give me that look… haha… I love that subject! :D
Day 1 of the marathon was like any other Monday, except that we got stacks of notes for MSM, in preparation for the upcoming local revision lectures…
Day 2.
MM lecture in the morning followed by Ichiban Boshi @ Plaza Singapura.
Me thinks those people are starting to recognize me le…
-psychotic laughter-
Had lunch there with Swee Shoon, Huifen, Bernard and Alvin.
Managed to get Yilinn’s present prepared in the process… that’s is a good thing. Last year’s present was almost a month late… aiyo, so paiseh lor~!
The food was as per norm… would expect nothing less, then again, I do think I had better give Japanese food a miss for a few months… else I get sian of it and totally go off it altogether…
Went a walking round the shopping centre before heading for the pool place to shoot some balls. It is a fun game… so maybe; just maybe, one day I might try billiards…
-hysterical laughter-
Wednesday – the full day of psychology… shioks… and I even managed to get myself a new pair of Levi’s …
-does the dance of joy-
I just have to get the length adjusted… it’s a tad too long… sorry, made an understatement there. ;p
Last day of my marathon: Thursday –
Morning CF lecture followed by MSM.
Figures that I would end the day off with a subject that has the potential to put me in a coma. -.-lll
But it turned out good. I was awake the whole time!
YEAH~~~!
Knocked flat out that night and didn’t wake up even when the sun rose… HA!
Friday was spent trying to study and was rounded up by tuition and the returning of books at the library…
Saturday was highlighted by reunion dinner at Kor’s place - 4 generations of my family under one roof.
What a sight! :D
Photos were taken and the food, which TKM cooked that afternoon, was finished :)
She and the other ladies of the house spent the entire day cooking and preparing the dishes for the dinner… it was by far, the best reunion dinner I’ve had in ages. Next year will be another experience, coz I would have shifted to another location by then… ok, lets not talk about me moving…
Sunday!
Lunar New Year Day 1!
Went over to the Ng house for visiting…
Head count of babies: 3.
Hahaha…
Going over to Uncle Sunny’s place tonight for another gathering…
Eppz! Need to get my quota for the day done before tonight… argh~
Yesh!
There are plenty of things to be done in the time I have during this week.
Like getting my head lost in my books for the upcoming prelim examinations.
Yet another type of marathon… and NTU Open will be held at the same time as two of my papers… haix… time to get my headless chicken on and running…
-laughs out loud-
JoJo - Too Little Too Late
Come with me
stay the night
you say the words
but boy it don't feel right
what do you expect me to say?
You know it's just too little too late
You take my hand
and you say you've changed
but boy you know
your begging don't fool me
because to you it's just a game
You know it's just too little too late
So let me on down
cause time has made me strong
I'm starting to move on
I'm gonna say this now
your chance has come and gone
and you know
It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
and I can't wait
boy you know all the right things to say
you know it's just too little too late
You say you dream of my face
but you don't like me
you just like the chase to be real
it doesn't matter anyways
You know it's just too little too late
yeah yeah
it's just too little too late
I was young and in love
I gave you everything
but it wasn't enough
and now you wanna communicate
You know it's just too little too late
Go find someone else
in letting you go
I'm loving myself
you got a problem
but don't come asking me for help
Cause you know
It's just too little too late
a little too wrong
and I can't wait boy
you know all the right things to say
you know
it's just too little too late
You say you dream of my face
but you don't like me
you just like the chase to be real
it doesn't matter anyways
You know it's just too little too late
I can love with all of my heart baby
I know I have so much to give(I have so much to give)
with a player like you
I don't have a prayer
That's the way to live
Oooh no
it's just too little too late yeah
It's just too little too late a little too wrong
and I can't wait boy
you know all the right things to say
you know it's just too little too late
Heard it on youtube recently… stumbled upon it actually… Jojo does have a nice voice… live sessions usually make or break a vocalist… haha
Now for the next song…
I found it by accident while searching for Bless the Broken Road… the next thing I knew, I was searching for variations of the song on youtube. Fans of various television programmes have a habit of making videos with this song. Very interesting to see what pictures they put to the lyrics.
The one that caught me was the one featuring Xena and Ares. Yes, that particular couple from the show those years back. I still remember watching all those episodes and wanting to be as strong as Xena… ha~
The chemistry between the characters was really good…
For 2 days (and counting) I was doing searches on the show and reliving the episodes through the words on the computer screen and my imagination… then I found out that one of the actors in the series died in 2002.
*sigh*
What does one say or feel in that kind of situation? Granted that it is just a television series, but its still a life we’re talking about here…
-pulls self back from that route-
To the song!
Rascal Flatts - What Hurts The Most
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that
I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh....
Hmmm....
Aight, that’s all for today… time to hit the files!
