Happy Birthday Mum :)
Thursday, July 26, 2007

This is dedicated to my Mum. Happy birthday :)

The Perfect Fan
by The Backstreet Boys

It takes a lot to know what is love
It's not the big things, but the little things
That can mean enough
A lot of prayers to get me through
And there is never a day that passes by
I don't think of you

You were always there for me
Pushing me and guiding me
Always to succeed

Chorus:
You showed me

When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands

'Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan

God has been so good
Blessing me with a family
Who did all they could
And I've had many years of grace
And it flatters me
when I see a smile on your face

I wanna thank you for what you've done
In hopes I can give back to you
And be the perfect son

Chorus

You showed me how to love
You showed me how to care
And you showed me that
you would always be there

I wanna thank you for that time
And I'm proud to say you're mine

Chorus

'Cause mom you always were,
Mom you always were
Mom you always were,
You know you always were

'Cause mom you always were...
the perfect fan

I love you Mom

Expectation.
Wednesday, July 25, 2007

Haha.. Inspired by a few good friends, I wrote this. Absence.. expectation.. it reminded me of a good friend of mine, who told me years ago, "Do not expect anything from anyone. That way, you won't get hurt." I think.. she might be right.


Expectation.

She's waiting at the train station
Checks the time schedule
5mins

She looks around for a bench
The watch ticks away, a tiny countdown on her wrist.

Anticipation builds
She has places to go, people to meet
Her mind accelerates, taking note of appointments
3 mins
Her foot taps away, impatiently.


She stands up, hoping the train will arrive
She has been waiting; she has been hoping
The familiar bell rings out, across the platform.

"1 min to arrival", the speaker whines away.
It's about time for her reward.

"Please mind the gap..."

She does not board, simply because it does not appear.
A fabrication?
A disappointment.

5 mins.
Maybe this train will come.
Maybe it won't.

At the Sushi bar.
Saturday, July 21, 2007

Pluggin' into: Tearsdrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift

I went out for lunch yesterday with my bro. We ate nearby - the Sushi Tei in gardens. It turned out to be much better that the last time I went there, which is probably a couple of years ago (or more).

I've always treasured and liked conversations with my brother. He not only makes me laugh, he makes me think. Sometimes I feel judged, or I disagree with him, but then again.. that's just how he is. Direct and to the point, without any vice, spite or ill-intention. He tells it as it is. Often since young, I would enter his room and ask him some question I know the answer to, but need assurance. I still do. Many a times, he's like a lighthouse - a light in the midst of dark trecherous waters. I love him for that.

We talked about our futures - what we planned to do after graduation. He has already taken steps - he just completed his internship and has in mind his next steps, not only in terms of education, but work. He tells me that next hols, I should try and get a proper job. I smile and reply, nowadays a proper job is an office job huh? He rebukes me by telling me what is not - a waiter, a food-taster (unless u're planning to go pro). He provides me with other suggestions, like events planning, writing, etc.

It hits me that despite our 3 years difference.. in terms of education, I'm only 1 year behind him. Which means.. after a year, I'll join him in the working world. It's almost like driving. Yet.. I feel so much younger.. so much more naive and unaware.

I answer him like I answer everyone who has asked me that question - I am clueless. He asks me what I like to do. The only thing i could come out with was that.. I like to edit stuff. He suggests applying internship at SPH. I have thought of it before - that was at the career talks in Sec. 4 in IJ. A part of me is terrified.. the other tinged with thrill. I might do so.. next hols or so. Or maybe I'll apply a temp job to increase pay. *shrugs*

It makes me ponder about all my friends too - some of whom I can clearly see in fields that suit their characters, their style.. reflection of their lifestyles. Which brings to question.. what field suits me?

I think media is getting to me, since that's more or less what I've been doing lately, haha :P In the movie "Accepted", this guy creates a university, where students are able to do courses they want to - courses which veer off the path taken by traditional educational institutions. In an anime called "Hitohira", a girl who has severe stage fright, ventures into the complete opposite of her character - the drama club.

They take their lives into their own hands. Can I?

In Psychology, we learnt development of the human. There's this stage by Erikson.. something about the Self Identity vs Doubt. (I think.. I don't think I'll be doing psych). It got me wondering.. maybe it's because I haven't decided who I am. Do I have a definite style? A distinctive character? Or am I elusive?

Back at the sushi bar, my bro complains that his hot beef bowl came first, before the sashimi salad. As I cross my arm over my own sashimi salad to grab the receipt, I inform him that there's only one order of it. My bro launches into an exclamation, "WHAT??? That waiter! ..." He rumbles on. As he manages to find a waiter to correct this abdomination, I see the woman next to him. Her look is one of utter surprise and a hint of amusement. We make eye contact. We both smile and I start to laugh.

Yes. That's my brother :)

Be still my soul
Sunday, July 08, 2007

Haha, the title pretty much shows what I'm plugging into :P

Nowadays, I haven't been doing much. Borrowed 5 Dvds from video ezy - Death note, Death note 2, Babel, Prestigue, My Super Ex-girlfriend. All except Babel pretty good. Out of sheer inspiration, I borrowed a book by Shakespeare.. which I'm not too sure whether I will complete reading.

I discussed with Char and Selina modules for next sem. I absolutely dislike this part. Plus, I'm absolutely thankful that these two possess so much knowledge of NUS and modules between them - without them, NUS would be such a drag. thanks loads :)

I've been organising quite a few gatherings these days. I guess the one that worries me is my church band (in reality, we're a choir with loads of musicians :P) We're experiencing a lot of changes.. and hopefully, we'll be able to pull through. I think we really need to incorporate prayer into whatever we do now - we need God's hand in this. Please pray for us! :D

I was thinking about psychology.. and how it names even the smallest of processes. It got me thinking - Why?

I guess, if you compare it to lego.. without naming these smallest processes, all u get is one big chunk. Plus, to fix this big uneven, odd-shaped chunk would be quite difficult. On the other hand, if you smash it into little pieces, they're much easier to use to form a new shape.. a new form. It's nothing new - basically, it's atoms. I guess.. it's the first time I thought of psychology in this manner. Ah wellz.. ok, nvm. I'm rumbling on :P

This is a fantastic song. I absolutely love it. I think it's quite apt, in this busy world we live in.


Be still my soul by Kim Noblitt

Be still my soul,
be still my soul
Cease from the labour and the toil
Refreshing springs of peace await
To troubled minds and hearts that ache

Be still my soul

God knows your way
And He will guide for His name's sake
Plunge in the rivers of His grace
Rest in the arms of His embrace

Be still my soul

Be still my soul
Though battles 'round you rage and roar
One thing you need and nothing more
To hear the whisper of your Lord

Be still My child

I know your way
And I will guide for My name's sake
Plunge in the rivers of My grace
Rest in the arms of My embrace

Death note
Friday, July 06, 2007

Pluggin' into: Big Girls Don't Cry by Fergie

London entry's also finished!! Pls be patient!!! :P

Been busy lately. Quite a lot of things on my mind.. along with module preference, which entails planning of modules which is super irritating. HAIZ.

Today I went out with HL to watch Die Hard 4. It's a good show manz :) After that, we were at Kino, buying stationary. HL then pointed to a book and said, "HAHA! NO TEE!!!"

I looked at the book and stated,

"It's NOTES LA!"

Silly HL :P

I watched Death note and Death note 2. Plus, I just finished the anime. I think the anime's ending, Light was out of character... the movie's ending seemed more apt. *shrugs*

I find this quite funny, lol :P

You are Barefoot!
You're a total free spirit, go with the flow girlYou can't be restricted by shoes for very longAnd unsuprisingly, the same goes for menYour match is out there - and he's as carefree as you are
