haha i feel the two consecutive days of watching the matches live taking its toll on me already, but i wouldn't have missed it for the world..so exciting!! :)
lovely song again! *beams*
Angels brought me here - Guy Sebastian
It's been a long and winding journey, but i'm finally here tonight
Picking up the pieces, walking back into the light
Into the sunset of your glory, where my heart and future lies
There's nothing like that feeling, when i look into your eyes...
My dreams came true, when i found you
I found you, my miracle...
If you could see, what i see, that you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Standing here before you, feels like i've been born again
Every breath is your love, every heartbeat speaks your name...
My dreams came true, right here in front of you
My miracle...
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Brought me here to be with you,
I'll be forever grateful (oh forever Faithful)
My dreams came true
When I found you
My miracle...
If you could see, what i see, you're the answer to my prayers
And if you could feel, the tenderness i feel
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...
Yes they brought me here...
If you could feel, the tenderness i feel...
You would know, it would be clear, that angels brought me here...

wah super burnt out today...can hardly keep my eyes open now, and feeling rather reluctant to drag myself to school for yet another day even though i know i must. *yawns* wasn't stressed until a moment ago when i stared down at the biotech notes strewn across my desk. erps. how on earth am i gonna finish memorising everything in time for tues (which is the date of the test i *think*)?!? sighs...tired, really tired...
finally got this song i've been wanted so badly for so long. gosh, such a sad one :(
The more we try - Kenny Loggins
Some lessons are forever
Never need to change
Write and the word is written
Then we turn the page
But some lessons take forever
Time and time again
Caught in a battle that you can't surrender
And can never win
You tried to make me the boy of your dreams
The ones that you never could find
You thought you saw your face in mine
The more we try, the more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lesson learned
Is no concern
If you don't even know me
To need love is all I really learned from you
The more we try, the more we just get lonely
Though you've shown me how
The things you say are true
The lessons learned
Are no concern
Cause you don't even know me
Sure you've done what you can do
But when all our time is through
To be loved is all I ever needed of you

one more week till school reopens yay!
hmm still wondering how i'm gonna stay up to watch the quarters of Euro on tv, and still be awake enough to study the next day...*grinses* haha i'm sure the problem will be resolved with lots and lots and lots of coffee :)
bang bang my baby shot me down is a really really freaky song. really freaky. even before watching killbill, when it was used in the arts dramafest play. getting the shivers just listening to it haha! i think i'm really really useless *grinses*
sighs just a few more days of studying...must hold on...after all, it's *just* another 5 months to freedom *laughs* wheee such a *short* time only! 5 months of studying! haha! :P
"If I had words to make a day for you,
I'd give you a morning golden and true.
I would make this day last for all time,
Then fill the night deep in moonshine."
haha oh man so sweet!! *beams*

had a fantastic time studying in school these past two days especially...thank you yanghan, sunny, shuwan and christelle! haha it was unbelievably productive, so good that stress levels have dramatically decreased *beams* studying was actually bearable with them around, how amazing is that? :)
life certainly complicates itself in JC...or maybe we complicate it, but i guess it's inevitable. so many people around me having troubles or feeling depressed and sad. is listening to them pour out their soul to you enough? i think it isn't, but most of the time, i feel i'm quite lacking in comforting people, it's the lack of knowledge of the right thing to say at the right time to make them feel right again. haha sighs...i guess it's all part of growing up, and we ARE getting rather old! cheer up and just think happy thoughts everyone! :)
was reading xinquan's blog just now, and agree with what he says there...many many times you really really want to help friends with their troubles, but the things you can do are so limited. you want to say stuff to comfort them, and you want to give them the best advice you can give them cos you want what's best for them, but sometimes, those two clash and you're torn between what to say in the end. and most of the time, finally, you're forced to step back and just put your trust in your friend's decisions, and just pray that he or she doesn't get hurt eventually, that he or she is happy, which is ultimately the most important thing, what more can one ask for right? but i'm always left with the nagging feeling and doubt that maybe i should have said more before, in a better way, or done something that could have perhaps reversed the whole situation, but the opportunity to do that had passed, and i'm just left thinking whether that's what a good friend should do, and reflecting to no avail. then again, i guess some decisions should and must be made on your own, and as friends, perhaps the most we can do is just to give them our support. i just hope what i've been doing is right. is it?

haha nice day today! :) went to school for chem extra lesson, which took like half an hour and had less than 10 people sheeeeesh...then while we were waiting for mr lee to return to the LT, had an impromptu karaoke session, with mikes and all! *grinses* minus the music and MTVs of scantily-clad people on beaches of course, but in my opinion, the absence of those ahem eye-sores are a definite improvement *grinses* haha yeah fun man! we really know how to entertain ourselves :)
then stayed back with rosie and shuwan, and yeah, it was fantastic talking to you guys! haha miss school and you guys already, but at least there was today to catch up! :) then rosie left at lunch, and had a long chat and lunch with shuwan...really great talking and listening to you today gal...thanks for the wonderful company, and i'm honoured that you felt comfortable enough to talk to me about stuff! :)
really enjoyed myself today!! *beams* can't wait for tomorrow :)

oh man i'm totally freaked out by this stephen king novel "four past midnight" i'm reading now! *shivers* started reading it in the school library today, and i kept looking back to make sure there was nothing there, and it didn't help that the whole library was deserted except for me cos of SATs! and then later, in the canteen, felt so so unsafe sitting there too, with my back unprotected *shudder* haha i think i'm really very loser...my mom was like "it's just a book!!!" and haha of course it is, but that doesn't stop it from being downright terrifying man...but it's a really really good book, and the fact that i'm totally scared out of my wits still just proves that it achieved what it set out to achieve haha sighs *shivers*
and i'm completely addicted to the sandman series! finally understand what the hype over it is about...borrowed the first book from our wonderfully stocked library yesterday, finished it, couldn't wait to read the second one, so went back specially to get it today, but unfortunately it wasn't meant to be *grinses* but fear not, i grabbed those that were there anyway, so now i have two with me!!! *beams* :)
oh no rate of studying still hasn't increased, crawling along at a snail's pace...momentum just hasn't kicked in yet...and it doesn't help that i always seem to get especially addicted to reading whenever there are major tests coming up. it's probably this innate subconscious compulsion and inclination to do something else other than work...sighs terrible!!! :)
k it's back to reading the scary book...haha how terrible sado-masochistic of me *grinses*

bleah bio s essay is in shambles..5th june is like 2 days away! panic man...*sniffs*
but looking on the bright side, can't wait for thurs! can't believe that we managed to get like 9 people down for karaoke with laoshi, so fun! *beams* and dinner at night too...haha can't wait man :):):)
i guess i learnt quite a lot today, about myself and what i should do...truly i see things clearer now than before, and i have you and your patience to thank for it. it takes some time for me to get some things, and i'll always be a little wols, but i'll get it sometime later, like i do now, i really really do. i promise i will. :)

haha as predicted, the hols are unbelievably boring!
mini 412-gathering in school yesterday, and the most amazing thing about it was that it was completely unplanned! we had sunny, val, em, peiyan, cel in the library and selene (though she wasn't sitting with us *grinses*) rather cool :)
