Stefanie Sun - Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough
I dont wanna lose you,
I dont wanna use you
Just to have somebody by my side
And I dont wanna hate you
I dont wanna take you
But I dont wanna be the one to cry
That dont really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough
Now I could never change you
I dont wanna blame you
Baby you dont have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just wanna have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking somethings gonna change
But theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart you cant trust
Theres a reason why people dont stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just aint enough
And theres no way home
When its late at night and youre all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
There beside you where I used to lay
And theres a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know its your heart they cant touch.
Theres a reason why people dont stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just aint enough.
Baby sometimes love just aint enough.
fell in love with this song recently after hearing it at kbox. find the lyrics very meaningful. i'll stop by to blog every now and then. though i doubt anyone still reads this blog. afterall it's been dead for so long.

OK! TIME TO UPDATE!
MY FLIGHT BACK TO SINGAPORE HAS BEEN POSTPONED. I WILL REACH SINGAPORE ON 26TH JAN 2010 0245HRS INSTEAD OF 25TH JAN 2010 2345 HRS. PLEASE TAKE NOTE PEOPLE. THANK YOU!
being in taiwan for almost 3 months made me realize, the furthest distance is not being unable to see him, but it is when i'm just beside him and he doesn't know that i like him. been thinking a lot, and i think i'm gonna take the risk. but that's when i'm back.

finally i have some free time on hand, and the mood to update my blog. yes Karen, i'm updating my blog now. HEHE.
sigh. i think i'm really homesick. i miss my mum's cooking. i miss my friends in Singapore. not saying that my colleagues aren't fun, but i still miss you guys back in Singapore. I suddenly realized that I have not been able to keep up with my friends life. i really miss the times where we hang out together, even when we have nothing to update each other, but just enjoying each other's company. now i feel like i have so many many things to tell yyann and nisa that i don't think one day is even enough!
i miss nights out with yyann & daniel, drinking with LL & gang, crapping with DOAL gang, doing nothing but chat with LEOW and yyann, hanging out with edmund, eric, zh and sze min, cell with DISCUs. i feel like i'm missing out so many things ongoing in Singapore. ):
this is the first time i'm spending my x'mas working, my new year's eve working as well. and also the first time i'm spending my b'day alone. yes, i'm here with jess clyde and bobby. but jess and clyde are away at hualien, and i am not really that close with bobby still. different frequency i guess.
but i'm really thankful that a lot of my friends came and are coming to taiwan. met them and felt warmth. i really missed them. there's still going to be edmund(RP) and sam (asc) coming over in time to come. hope i can meet them and catch up with them.
today's the first day i skipped my dinner.
P.S. dont scold me ok. i'm really not hungry. i guess i'm too homesick.
i've been unable to get along with clyde pan uncle for a bit. i think i'm getting emotional and i really need time to relax myself. I NEED YYANN'S AND NISA'S ACCOMPANY! you know, i really can relax myself totally when i'm with either of you. enjoying the silence, pulling pranks together,etc etc.
to those who are wondering. yes i miss him as well. but i know friends are going to always be there for me and understand me better than getting into a relationship.

Went into office today and didn’t know what to expect. We were supposed to be off today, but since Da Mao and Ken is not in the office yesterday and so nobody said we off today so we just went to the office. Checked mail and did our own stuff until about 9.40am when the guys went off to take bus to Taipei. After the guys left, me and jess was quite lost and didn’t know what to do. So we went to ask them what we can help, turn out that there is nothing much that we can help with except doing some research on OBUS.
Luckily after a while we could go to the CRC site to see how Niu Ge was conducting the program. He played a game which Allan had played with us during OL before so I and jess caught up with the flow quickly. We helped to give out the equipments to the kids and helped to check that they wore the harness correctly after Niu Ge taught them how to handle the equipments. We had to go back to office for lunch since there was no lunch at the CRC site for us as we went there last minute. After lunch, we saw which type of belaying method OBT used and soon after we helped to watch over the kids to practice belaying.
There was this kid, trying to by funny and keep imitating me talking. Probably to them when we speak there is this accent that we don’t realise because in the later part of the day he imitated jess as well. Saw how their giant swing worked, very different from the giant swing we have at ALC. Saw this high element ‘Two Ships’ that we do not have at the ALC, but didn’t get to see how it operates as both me and jess were at the climbing wall to supervise some of the kids climbing. We helped to keep the ropes after the program was cut.
When we went back to the office, suddenly one staff approached us to take photo as they were going to put it into their newsletter along with a short self introduction we had written after lunch I think? Ended up we told them that we’d take from our past photos to be put up instead. Ended work at 5.30pm but we stayed a while longer as we were sorting out our groceries list as well as think of what we want to cook so as to know the ingredients we will need.
We went on to have cup noodles for dinner as we both have the craving for cup noodles today and clyde uncle wasn’t here to nag at us for eating cup noodles. Hehe. Bought some tidbits to munch on as well. Oh yes, yyann! There is the type of cuttlefish that we both love here sold in small packets! I just realised that I forgot to bring the post it note back to the hostel that has our grocery list. Luckily we are not buying groceries tomorrow.
Hope that they will give us the code for the door so that we can go into the office on our own without having to press the bell and bother someone to open the door for us. No internet in the hostel and nothing to do causes me to sleep earlier as compared to being in Singapore. Also, the sun rises earlier and sets earlier here. I think my biological clock which is already koyak is getting more messed up here, but I’m a light sleeper here. Different environment or still new here? I hope I can stay as a light sleeper throughout the IIP and maintain it even till I’m back in Singapore. I don’t laze on the bed as long as I would in Singapore. Maybe cause got clyde uncle always come in and nag me and jess. But even without clyde to nag I will normally only snooze a maximum of 10-15 minutes here. Hopefully it stays this way.
i'm missing him, but there is nothing i can do. i want to tell him how i feel, but should i really? i'm afraid to lose the friendship that i have with him. or should i do it the way yyann did? tell him and after that tell him that i just want to get it off? will it work for me and him? sighs.Labels: iip, taiwan, thoughts

a blog post i did yesterday night..but couldnt publish since there was no internet.
Taiwan has been good so far. I’ve only been here for the 4th day; the people here are very friendly. Sometime I also feel kind of awkward that they are so warm hearted towards us, but at the same time feel very heart-warming.
Typhoon is coming to Taiwan soon, drizzle has started today morning, and didn’t cease even after we ended work at around 5pm. Went to buy some groceries and attempted cooking our own dinner today. Ended with too much vegetable, too little rice and we forgot about meat totally. We had to open canned mackerel as meat. We also forgot to but a lot of stuff to bring out the flavour in the food, so some of the food was quite bland. It’s really so much cheaper to buy groceries and cook on our own then to go outside and eat dinner when we are not provided dinner here. Good experience though, and we can brush up on our culinary skills. LOL!
I must say I’m still adapting to speaking mandarin all the time as well as reading traditional Chinese characters.
I’m contemplating something in my mind for quite some time now. I don’t know if I should do it. And no it has nothing to do with my Taiwan mates.
Oh man. I miss my friends in Singapore!
Oh yes, me and jess getting our off day tomorrow(Saturday). but Bobby and Clyde will be at Hualien(if possible). I still have no idea how we are going to spend the day off.
