archery
1. sun was nice. finally went to shoot again. haha... the familiar pains. pressure on the top of my left hand as it squashes against the riser. the pain on the fingers as it slowly slides off the string. lol. and the only correct 1: the feeling of my back muscles at work again. :)
even if i only shot <50 arrows... and even if im taking 5-6 secs to click for most of those arrows... it's really quite shiok to shoot again. archery... rox! :)
2. had a nice lunch too. got to eat marutama again. :) haha. craving finally satisfied.

my 1st experience in the cinema with a total audience of 3. me, 1 gv staff and a stranger. both the gv staff and the stranger were seated at the last row behind me. so, from my view, it looks like i have the whole theatre to myself. cool right? LOL.

try
try
All I know
Is everything is not as it's sold
but the more I grow the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I grow
The fewer the seeds the more I sow
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn, the more I learn
The more I cry, the more I cry
As I say goodbye to the way of life
I thought I had designed for me
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try
All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be
And that's wonderful, and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are, we are, we are, we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

music! (:

finally finished The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest, the last book in the Millennium Trilogy today. :D
ending is darn nice. but there's bits in the whole series abt finance, politics, the government, economy, etc, where it's quite boring... haha, or at least to me. lol. but the plot, characters, suspense and how the story unfolds are cool. :D i like!
an excerpt that i found to be interesting from the 3rd bk:
- a really interesting perspective... hmm...
"Nobody can avoid falling in love," he said. "They might want to deny it, but friendship is probably the most common form of love."
She looked at him in astonishment.
today marks 2yrs... 25th aug... enjoy the songs! :)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played with Fire
I'm a ghost of a girl that you looked right past
I'm a voice you didn't wanna hear
I'm a page in a book that you read too fast
But I'm still here
You never cared, never tried, never even asked
Maybe I didn't wanna stay
You shut your eyes, told your lies then you had your laugh
And that's okay
Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know it's real
And I'm not sorry
For who I am, for what I feel
Cause you don't know me
I got more on my mind than I ever told
I got pain that you never felt
I got the scars
I can deal with it on my own
I've got stories that I'll never tell
But maybe it's just as well
Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know it's real
And I'm not sorry
For who I am, for what I feel
You don't know me
I'm strong, I'm a mess
Altogether an emotional wreck
I can scream, I can beg you to see I'm alive
I'm awake, I'm unglued
I'm not gonna break down, now
You don't know me
You don't wanna know what's real
And I'm not sorry
Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know it's real
And I'm not sorry
For who I am, for what I feel
Cause you don't know me
You don't wanna know it's real
I'm not sorry
For who I am, you don't understand
Just how I feel
You don't know me.

It's quite rare that i can't fall aslp when im already lying on my bed... anyway... im currently in a relatively contemplative mood... trying to sort out some thoughts via my blog...
But after thinking for another few mins... I realized that there aren't any answers here too... plus, this blog is also not meant to be a journal... haha, or at least... it shldn't be...
Endless loops where answers to probs and questions just lead back to the same or more probs and questions...

The Tree
a movie from 2001 that i like watching even after watching for so many times. lol.
a nice and touching film.
and if my memory serves, the message at the end of the show is:
perhaps there is a tree in everyone of us. providing love and shelter.
or something along those lines. hahaa.

Ashley Tisdale - How Do You Love Someone
Momma never told me how to love
Daddy never told me how to feel
Momma never told me how to touch
Daddy never showed me how to heal
Momma never set a good example
Daddy never held Momma's hand
Momma found everything hard to handle
Daddy never stood up like a man
I walked alone, broken
Emotionally frozen
Getting it on
Getting it wrong
How do you love someone
Without getting hurt
How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love, how do you love someone
I was always the chosen child
The biggest scandal I became
They told me I'd never survive
But survival's my middle name
I walked alone, hoping
Just barely coping
Getting it on
Getting it wrong
How do you love someone
Without getting hurt
How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love, how do you love someone
It's hard to talk
To see what's deep inside
It's hard to tell the truth
When you've always lied
How do you love someone
Without getting hurt
How do you love someone
Without crawling in the dirt
So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love someone
And make it last
How do you love someone (love someone)
Without tripping on the past
So far in my life
Clouds have blocked the sun
How do you love, how do you love someone
How do you love, how do you love someone, someone
went out and had a separate celebration for xy's bd last wk. :D watched voyage de la vie. exciting show! :D shld go watch, haha. really had fun that nite. :)
started reading the Millennium Trilogy. finished reading the 1st 2 books, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl Who Played with Fire. hmm, it's basically a crime thriller series which im quite engrossed in now, haha!
here's an extract from the 1st bk that's pretty interesting:
"Lisbeth, can you define the word friendship for me?"
"It's when you like somebody."
"Sure, but what is it that makes you like somebody?"
She shrugged.
"Friendship-my definition-is build on two things," he said. "Respect and trust. Both elements have to be there. And it has to be mutual. You can have respect for someone, but if you don't have trust, the friendship will crumble."
She was still silent.
"I understand that you don't want to discuss yourself with me, but someday you're going to have to decide whether you trust me or not. I want us to be friends, but I can't do it all by myself."
is it really that simple? just respect and trust? does it mean that the difference between very gd frens and normal frens are just more respect and trust? or are there other factors involved too? hmm.
did u realize? last fri was fri the 13th. a fri the 13th during 七月. haha, and i actually went out at nite. went to watch The Sorcerer's Apprentice! lol, movie's nice. :)
having doubts on my decision abt the dnd this coming fri... it's going to be held at the ritz carlton... Dress Code as per the email: "Whatever makes you happy - Just put a mask on!"... can interpret as jeans are also allowed right? but will any1 actually wear jeans? i got nothing 'appropriate' to wear... got nothing as appropriate as what the rest are going to wear anyway... so mafan in an irritating way... shld i just go in jeans? just wear formal? or just not go? like my prev decision? how? sian... spoil the fri mood... argh!...
