Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day i'm loving you more than this
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus:
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Chorus

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Chorus

Another one my favourite.

Damien Rice: The Blowers Daughter

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
Til I find somebody new

__________________________________________________________________________________

back home, i was into channel surfing and flipping through my MADEV notes. these notes really cause people to turn MADev. after surfing for awhile, i stopped at MTV (channel 20). they were broadcasting MTV Whatever Things, hosted by eddison chen. i my mind, i thought cool at least there were some reality show or some form of punk entertainment.

the first gig was like, shooting darts at this fellar. those that 'SUN HO' were shot during the NKF show last year. similar kind those african natives uses. the scene was damn gross. they made targets over his both nipples and his belly. then followed by asking the people on the streets to join in the fun shooting at him. argh! that guy bled like 4 - 5 times in the show. worst part came, people aiming his nipple. ****! they actually hit, i can actually see the red veins in his eyes man. his partner still had the cheek to laugh and slowly pull the dart out, i mean stretching his nipple?! they were actually laughing throughout the whole thing. disgusted. sickos.

second gig. they were trying to find a fat guy to perform a stunt. they got the fat guy to try to squeeze into a (spider-web rope) thing where kids use it to climb. so he started. climbed up, got his legs through. then he got stucked at about chest level. the laughing went on. the fat man started struggling and felt pain. screaming and shouting there causing attention of people around. military and security guards came along to assist this fellar. they took like 10 people to lift this 200 odd kg fellar out of that hole. went they got him out, i realised the fellar was wearing a skirt by roxy. crazy things people do, real crazy.

respected Pope John Paul II

The cardinals have opened and read John Paul's will, but its contents will not be published until Thursday, said spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls.
Before his death John Paul did not reveal any evidence that he had appointed a secret cardinal, Navarro-Valls said.
"I can confirm that the Holy Father, before dying, did not give a name for a cardinal, and this was also in 2003," he said. "So there's no further question on this."
By Vatican law, a conclave must begin no earlier than 15 days and no later than 20 days after the pontiff's death, which was April 2.
The 117 cardinals who are under 80 years of age are to gather at the Sistine Chapel, where they will cast secret ballots to choose a new pope.
Archbishop Pietro Marini said Tuesday a new rule instituted by John Paul II will give the cardinals more freedom to wander the Vatican during the conclave, but they still cannot talk with anyone outside their peers or receive any communication from outside until they have made a choice.
After each vote -- there are to be two per day -- the ballots will be burned, with the smoke rising into a Vatican chimney. Chemicals will be added to the fire to change the color of the smoke: black smoke means no decision was reached; white signals a new pontiff has been chosen.
John Paul II changed the rules to require that the basilica's bells also ring to announce a new pope. In the past, there has been confusion because the white smoke can appear gray.
A two-thirds vote is required; after 30 ballots, however, a simple majority will suffice. Shortly after the white smoke signal is given, the new pontiff will be presented to the people in St. Peter's Square.
Rome was preparing for the arrival of many world leaders for the funeral on Friday.
President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair are among some 200 world leaders planning to attend the service.
Some dignitaries were expected to arrive in Rome on Wednesday, and a special line will be provided for them to view the pope.
Britain's Prince Charles postponed his wedding to Camilla Parker-Bowles to attend the funeral.

The Italian Interior Ministry said armored vehicles would be provided for world leaders, and 6,000 additional police would be on hand for the funeral.
Along with preparations for the funeral, authorities were dealing with long lines of mourners waiting to view the pope's body inside St. Peter's Basilica.
Rome's Civil Protection Department said the line would be closed at 10 p.m. (4 p.m. ET) Wednesday to allow time to prepare for Friday's funeral.
So far this week, at least 1.8 million people have filed past the body, said Rome Mayor Walter Veltroni. The wait to see the pope usually lasts from 10 to 12 hours.
With so many visitors in the ancient city, Veltroni issued "an informal invitation for the citizens of Rome" to allow pilgrims to stay in their homes.
In addition, officials have turned the site of the Roman Circus Maximus into a free visitors' campground.
John Paul's burial
On Tuesday, the Vatican said the pope would be buried in a grave beneath the basilica that was once occupied by the body of Pope John XXIII. His remains were exhumed and re-entombed on the basilica's main floor in 2001.
When he became pope in October 1978, John Paul II was the first non-Italian pontiff in 455 years. He died Saturday night at age 84 of septic shock and cardiocirculatory failure, the Vatican said.
He suffered from several chronic illnesses, including crippling hip and knee ailments and Parkinson's disease. His condition began deteriorating rapidly Thursday, after a urinary tract infection caused a high fever.
Navarro-Valls said the pope's body was "prepared for burial" but had not been embalmed.

weekend 27032005

this is what you get for road hogging.

4 years and counting

just like that, bb and I have been together for 4 years.

celebrated our anniversary @ fish&co, suntec outlet. well, we couldnt decide on what to eat after searching a whole lot of restaurants. finally, we settled for something affordable and good. (splurged on a bintan trip as anniversary present so have to keep to a super tight budget) bb specially brought her camera along, not knowing that the battery is near flat; if not flat. (silly bb) therefore, had to use my phone.

Sat down.

Fish & Co.

Our drinks and corn soup. Didnt finish thou knowing that the large plate is coming.

bb enjoying her drink.

as for me not bothered about pics. too tired for one, a long day @ school.

the effort they spend on printing. who appreciates this?!

SEAFOOD PLATTER for 2. Got rid of the chips and replaced with more calamari.(;p wrong choice. way tooooo much should have asked for more fish instead)

After dinner, we headed back for city hall mrt. i wanted to grab a pair of PUMA shoes. Walked past the suntec fountain dedication counter. Decided to dedicate a song since it was our anniversary.

This was what we had installed
___________________________________________________________________

To: Us
From: Us
Song: Selena - Dreaming Of You (our song since we got together in 2001)
Reason: Happy Anniversary
___________________________________________________________________

thought the song would take a long time to be played so i wanted to leave. partly also because the shop would be closing soon if we still dont make a move. bb insisted that we hear our song before leaving. therefore we took the stairs up to the seating area. getting wet while watching the fountain and waiting for our song.

image captured when the song was going on.

finally, our song came. enjoyed that moment with bb with our song being played. we couldnt hear what the DJ was saying cause the fountain was way to noisy plus we were upstairs.

after which, we finally left the place and headed for home.

chill.

High on Life

我们白天是Students, 晚上是Brothers. Sam, Alan, Jonathan, Kelvin, Cheeky, Donovan, Johnny, Daniel 还有我. 我们玩自己的rules, 不管别人。我们玩 E, smack K。那一天, 我们extend的时候被CNB Raid. 我的brothers一个都没有来看我. 我才发现, 最大的敌人不是别人, 而是自己.

17 March 2005 Wednesday

Wednesday middle of the week. Tough week ahead.

Stayed back till 4 plus to work on my WORLD. Headed home to bed instantly. Woke up like 730 for dinner did some XML revision.Later at 10, i was ready for some Selegie Tao Huay. Bb came pick me up, change drivers. I started heading towards the Tao Huay store till bb made a last minute decision to go for Yong He instead. PIE got out of Kallang exit, make a few turns and we reached.
I roughly know the area Geylang, thanks to my attachment assigned by DAMN POLY. Of all places, send a decent man like me here.

Looked for car park along geylang but fail to do so. Therefore, made a right turn into the small lanes. Found one, didnt had to time to even park properly. These impatient drivers in geylang just wont let you park or even adjust. Forcing me to park like crap. Waited like 10mins for less traffic, quickly move out and make a fast one. In end went in too deep, at least not in the way of traffic.
Had meal. Walked along the messy street to look for cheese. Bb is baking a cheese cake for my cousin's birthday tommorrow. The street is pack with all kinds of people. Witness dealings with girls along the road. No one dare did approach bb or me. Well, we are just too decent.

Drove around, found out that along kallang the PIE(Jurong) was close. Therefore, drove along and found CTE(AMK). Got Home safe.

chill.

Oakley deadly blow

I was so tired that once i got home, slept instantly. Woke up at 730 for dinner then got back on my bed for more sleep.

Suddenly, woke up like 1045. Realised that i already had missed 45mins of the serial Desperate Housewives. Afterwhich, seat down on my pc and start my research for my game development. In the process of researching, i decided to clean my xda with the oakley pouch. Not knowing that i got a broken sunglasses inside. What the hack, it was fine last night and now i saw it it became like this.

This Oakleys have served me well for like 3 - 4 years already. Maybe its really time to get a new one thats why. Even so, i wouldnt be so stupid to spoil something that is still useable. Now, i shall not point fingers at who spoilt it and swallow it.

Bb became very unhappy about it. Maybe she miss my Oakleys. LOL. It is expensive, I know but there is surely an end to a certain thing. Things are not meant to be everlasting and life time working. Now i have to start to think of a savings plan to get my new oakleys.

Chill

Sunday.

Having a bad headache. Got to attend my friend's 21st birthday. Drove to downtown east. Damn place is so packed with people. Guess its because of the one week break that the kids get this week. Most them are here for a break. Pathetic place still requires a 1 dollar entry. Not knowing how many people she invited. The block she booked the rooms in, are packed with lots and lots of her friends. For people that know me, I hate crowds. Therefore I am here typing this blog entry on my pocket pc.
Waiting for bb's friend to come. I am like dead tired. Left the place about 1030 after a whole lots of photo taking.

Bb wanted me to take this picture infront of the Macdonald's. I was actually seated there while waiting for her to come out of the loo. She forced me to take with him using my phone.

Outcome:
