BrEak-AwAy

i jus realised i hv actually stuck to a new favourite song for a pretty long time... perhaps its pretty much applicable to me in the sense that its kinda my ambition...

Anyway i fell in love with this song even before i knew Avril co-wrote it.. and well, probably its here for those of my frens who r studying or will study overseas..

Grew up in a small town
And when the rain would fall down
I just stared out my window
Dreaming of what could be
And if I'd end up happy
I would pray (I would pray)
Trying not to reach out
But when I'd try to speak out
Felt like no one could hear me
Wanted to belong here
But something felt so wrong here
So I pray (I would pray)
I could breakaway
I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Wanna feel the warm breeze
Sleep under a palm tree
Feel the rush of the ocean
Get onboard a fast train
Travel on a jet plane, far away (I will)
And breakaway

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget all the ones that I loved
I'll take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Buildings with a hundred floorsS
winging around revolving doors
Maybe I don't know where they'll take me but
Gotta keep moving on, moving on
Fly away, breakaway
I'll spread my wings
And I'll learn how to fly
Though it's not easy to tell you goodbye
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway
Out of the darkness and into the sun
But I won't forget the place I come from
I gotta take a risk
Take a chance
Make a change
And breakaway, breakaway, breakaway...

MaKeS U WonDer

Finally.. a week of serious confusion is over.. and a new one has begun. i always look at sunday as the beginning of the week. cos im most refreshed then.. in all senses. physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally.

But if u ask me, all four aspects above mentioned are pretty linked. so yeah.. after church i went to pray awhile.. somewhat meditating abit.. on my life n wat was preached today. n i realise jus wats wrong with the world today.

Everybody is doing what THEY want, worrying what THEY want, and wish for. Even Sunday-going christians.. we keep asking for things.. but its jus what WE want... bleah.. Dawn of reckoning... If we were not to do n concentrate onli on what WE want, im sure the world wld definitely be a better place..

But its tough lar.. can start trying..

Ok so ends the first weekend of term. n the badminton girls team look set to get the nat'l championship, while our boys are getting set to erm... well get top 16 la.. out of 16, nonetheless.. but anw.. we can watch our girls win.. sweet enough.

Arf.. so much holiday hw left. statistics.. groan... i'd better start right now.. otherwise.. die lar... n worse, if i not finished by tmr, theres little chance one more day wld make a diff.. monday night! badminton! argh.. problem. but i'll jus take a step back n relax lar.. jus do what is needed of me. =p. yepz.. hmm tt means now. okok.. off to do hw! adieu.. till next week!

B.Ed

No, not bachelor of education. jus bed. i realised i ottago bed earlier. :D okay..

its a wonder solution! i get to skip the "depressing" part of my day - the night. AND i m less stressed in the morn. hopefully lar. BED!!! i love my bed!

rmb kiddies, its always better to sleep in your BED at home than on your desk!

oh wells.. anyways soon im gg out wid my grampa.. tts cool, onli prob is - going to buy Assessment books! argh.. n hv his Work (i.e research on The Economics of Sports) to do.. haha.. sounds cheem eh? its not. but fascinating none-the-less...

hmmm i think there's no epl this week. bleah. oh wells, reduces the dilemma on singapore indon tie.. ought to watch it la, but i think i'll end up cursing at the tv a lot. cursing at players who cant hear me? bah.. sounds mad.. curse at ref perhaps too.. see la...

tired liao.. mb i blog again later..

Grabbin' Shadows

Nope, these arent the shadows of pple i want to be. its the shadows of pple i knew once. its like.. everyone changes, granted, thats a fact of life. A lack of change would dull life to such an extent, lets jus say its unimaginable. but still, what if everyone adapts n then u are jus left behind. what if.. in the rapids of change, we cling on to the rocks rather than ride the waves..

Its quite sad, more so for myself, as i watch other pple capable of so quickly adapting themselves. meaning simply, if evolution were to pass us by at a little faster rate, i'd be extinct in no time..

N again the troubles tt plagued me, n made my life quite fun, in andss, theyre coming back. mainly heart against mind kinda problem. n well, u noe, i always tend to favour the mind. ought to go with heart some day. hmmm... anw, it doesnt make sense for any1 to like me more than jus as a fren. nvr made much sense. jus not fated i guess.. oh wells.. lets jus wait for this thing to jus wear off. done it before, yar it didnt work, but now theres more at stake la, i guess, eg. a friendship.. heex.. oh well...

too much said already. but moving on.

argh got badminton tmr, n got loads of work to do. n i cant work at home... sheesh. nvr works. im going to sum library sum day n study...

ok la. tired, n depressed, s i hv been for the past few nights. bah...

goodnight world~

Sunday, January 2

today is a sad day for all humanity.

or at least, for all school pupils in our tiny isle..

its the last day of holidays, n school is starting very soon. man.. this is depresssing... ya, the year 2004 is over, n welcome 2005. hopefully its a better yr than last year, but i think we end up saying that at the end of every year.

and hence my hypothesis: every year is both good n bad, but its jus by human nature we tend to see the bad and r blind to the good, n hence even if we get a year tt is 99% good n 1% bad we might still hv the chick to ask for a better year. i mean honestly, lets jus spare a thought for those of the 6 billion of us who are hving a 99% bad and 1% good year. well, for them, perhaps we could look at it from the bright side... it is reli reli reli very possible n in fact likely that the new year would be much better than the old one. quite a high chance...

so for my new year, i jus hope it will be a normal year, not too bad, n not too good either, for if its too good, its likely not to get any better. bah.. weird perspective. totally...

let me analyse the prospects for the upcoming year.

  1. a new importance for PE n pull ups. damn...
  2. easily identified problem - A levels
  3. badminton, but tt seems to apparently be taking a back seat, not due to any exertions on my part..
  4. GLOPOS. honestly this wasnt smthg i had reli thought would be a core CCA for me, more as a subsidiary one. but sumhow ive got a recently rekindled interest in it. fascinating to design a web-zine. designing either a website or a magazine is fun. so imagine wat fun this is...
  5. hmm i reli would like a scholarship n wouldnt like to be disappointed. so unfortunately i hv to work reli hard on it. n i don like that. not the hard worker sort.

so it seems i hv my work for 2005 cut out. or i could menanti nasi disajikan di mulut... sumwhat like how i hv been kinda carrying out my life in some respects. but i'll work to what i need to work. do your best n God will do the rest..

so look out world, here comes my best... n it aint gonna be pretty.

ok in the light of the new year,

HaPpY nEw YeAr all..

n in the light of customary practice for a new year,

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
We twa hae run aboot the braes
And pu'd the gowans fine.
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne,
We've wandered mony a weary foot,
Sin' auld ang syne.
We twa hae sported i' the burn,
From morning sun till dine,
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
Sin' auld lang syne, my dear,
Sin' auld lang syne.
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
And ther's a hand, my trusty friend,
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

Wish me LUCK!!!
