I Miss You...

Dreams,purely illusions.Images flirting one's mind to do something he desires to without conscience and boundaries.Two people came into the frame,him and the other,someone he's been waiting for confess his feelings to for the longest time.That person was someone he least suspected,someone he took for granted in some ways and someone he has been missing pretty badly.Someone who was always dear to him but only realised after losing.It was the end of the chapter,they were walking down a lovely place with fingers locked and smiles on their faces.The scene ended with her wrapped tightly in his arm as her head leaned on his shoulder,watching the sun set rather gracefully.The next scene shows him brushing shoulders with someone from his past,someone who will always have a place in his fragile heart.Playing the devil's advocate,she offered him lust and temptations.He rejected the offer however when she made the first move,his actions accepted her approach with open arms.And just then,he woke up from his dream and at the same time,nightmare.With his head in his hands,he closed his eyes in disbelief.His heart slowed though he was breathing deeper.He took out a piece of paper and a pencil and started writing,"I miss you..."


Imagine if we never lied
Imagine if we never tried
To be something we're not
We forgot how it feels
To be tight, to be close, to be real

And I miss you
And I wish you were here
I stopped breathing
When you said you don't care anymore

You're caught up in your plastic life
Changing right before my eyes
A chameleon
I used to know you like the back of my mind
Did that part of you die

And I miss you
And I wish you were here
I stopped breathing
When you said you don't care anymore

And I'm scared
Don't don't leave me alone
I'm home having nothing
Anyway, anyway I'm scared
Standing on the corner in the pouring rain
Got to find a drug that will keep me sane
Like you

I watch you from a distance
I remember all of those instances
When you smile
Whe you laugh
When you crash
When I'm there to catch you when you fall

And I miss you
And I wish you were here
I stopped breathing
When you said you don't care anymore

(And I miss you)
So tell me that you're doing fine
I still remember every time
(And I wish you were here)
And everyone I know will say
That you are always apart of me
And I miss you like you never know
(And I miss you like you never know)
And I miss you like you never know
Yeah, And I miss you like you never know
You'll never know...

Be Yourself (And 5 Other Cliches)...

Kung Fu Panda was nice,I can see why this line "Yesterday is history,tomorrow is a mystery but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present." Haven't we all seen or heard it somewhere before.I prefer the first part though,"there's no charge for awesome-ness,or attractive-ness" but there is that a charge for catching the movie.Call me a real cheapo but $6 for a student priced ticket is still a little heavy amount to part with,yes I know it's 1 hour and 40 mins of pure fun.I like the fact that it's so family-friendly.There's not even a single drop of blood throughout the whole show,worthy of my salute in this kind of generation where blood and violence is creeping into almost every television set or computer games.It might be less excitement without all these effects but it's still packed with enough punch to keep you entertained.

What I really like about this show is that the hero is none other than a panda.Not because I want them to have a more macho image but rather it's a good change from where you see humans with bodybuilders-styled figure in costumes otherwise known as supersuits which isn't very super either.No out of this world gadgets that'll blow our minds,be it cool-ness factor or lame-ness whichever comes to your head first.It's very old school and the zero turned hero is a real zero to begin with.I mean really,who would expect some fat blob from out of nowhere being the chosen one and no,I've got nothing against fat people.I'm trying to say that what I like about this film is that there's another lesson to be learned.Just be yourself,no matter what size shirt you wear.On the other hand,I'm not encouraging people to stay overweight or become overweight after reading this.My point is,be comfortable with who you are.If you're born big-boned,accept it like Po did.In fact show that you're good being in your own skin.What's the use of going on an endless and painful way of starving yourself just so you can be like the perfect size 0 supermodels.They're the real zero in this case.

Which kind of reminds me,Eugene you seriously remind me of Po in every sense of it.Mostly because you're taking Taekwondo now and I can see how much fun you're having with it.Using me,Ryan and Charlie as human target practice and getting kicked at in the process is no laughing matter but I'm just glad you're enjoying it.In Taekwondo,not in kicking us and getting us injured for being less than 5 metres away from you.Update from SavingSomeone,Ryan has done a tremendous job with our new recording available in our myspace(follow the link on the right of this blog).It's called Speed To Break Down,for those who has watched the video on our page you should have heard it and seen from there.It is perhaps the most fun song to play live because the energy of the song is just so intense that it's impossible to stand still with the exception of Charlie who lost his lip piercing and I'm very happy because of it.I'll be going to be spend the next few days catching up with overdued project meetings,expecting a very stale build up to the weekends.By the way,everybody love's kung fu fighting.


Be yourself and not somebody else...


Be yourself
And not somebody else
It might take some little effort
And maybe just a little help
But you can figure it out
If not
Just do what everbody else does

Oh, keep it on the level
(If that's what I'm supposed to do)
Keep on the level
(If that's the thing I'm told to)
I keep on getting in trouble
If I try to take this side of the road

So here's your hey hey hey (hey)
Here's you ho ho ho (ho)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line
Between what's yours and what's mine
It's a line that I don't want to toe
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know

Keep it real
Whatever that means
Even if you're so young
You've never seen a limousine
You're gonna one day
Just remember
Never get in

And don't give up
Cause you know people are gonna care
If you just stop trying
And accept every dare
And if you can't seem to make it
Maybe, maybe
You should just try failure

Oh, keep it on the level
(If that's what I'm supposed to do)
Oh, keep on the level
(If that's the thing I'm told me to)
I keep on getting in trouble
If I try to take this side of the road

So here's your hey hey hey (hey)
Here's you ho ho ho (ho)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line
Between what's yours and what's mine
It's a line that I don't want to toe, you know
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh

Here's your hey hey hey (hey)
Here's you ho ho ho (ho)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line
Between what's yours and what's mine
It's a line that I don't want to toe, you know

So here's your hey hey hey (hey)
Here's you ho ho ho (ho)
I don't know where else to go
There's a really fine line
Between what's yours and what's mine
it's a line that I don't want to toe, you know
I'm sick of being haunted by every cliche that I know
Oh...

Careful Now...

My apologies for not updating for the past few days,my computer has reached pre-cremation stage which means it's so so laggy that I believe it's powered by a snail on a treadmill.From waking up early on a Sunday for the first time in my life to being a potential maid of honour for Kathleen and learning how the term 'shop like a woman' came about tomissing Armchair Critic yet again to catching the finalist of the Salad Days competition including Top 6 winners Fire Away Samson!(which reminds me of The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus) to studying at a memorable place called Marine Parade Library since mugging for O's and even taking an exam paper in God knows how many ancient ages ago.I actually left my house at 1 when my paper is supposed to commence at 2 and mind you,East Coast Road to Dover is not very near but somehow I got a record timing of reaching there with slightly less than 10 minutes to spare.It must be the fact that I was mentally picturing myself pushing the trains in the hopes of reaching faster.That 10 minutes was used rather effectively,I huffed and puffed to the business block which as Dawn said is the hill on top of another hill and I climbed 5 flights of steps to get to the top floor so that's 3 hills that I overcame in under 10 minutes,beat that Sir Edmund Hillary.

Now that I can chuck my Icp notes book somewhere until the next exam,I am as free as a bird.Well not quite,I still have projects to be done which is due next week since my group didn't meet up during the holidays.At the same time,I have to balance my work from my fun right?So tomorrow will be the first time that I'll step into a cinema since yet another ancient ages ago and it'll be with my fellow fun-loving classmates.I just realised that it will be the first time in which we have a mini-class outing excluding project meetings and supposedly meeting to do projects.I remembered Dawn,Wahidah,Hazwan,Josiah and I ended up playing cards,playing the drinking game and watching tv when we were supposed to be doing our Icp project before the term break.It was much fun and I can expect that level of fun tomorrow when I meet the same bunch of people with the exception of Josiah and it's not just because of Kung Fu Panda.And tomorrow will be the day I can finally drown my sorrows on coffee and ice cream along with Dawn's,it's sounding like a really good day tomorrow.Lastly,Charlie's back so SavingSomeone is back on business.


Careful now,either of us or both of us will...


Oh, maybe you should make a list for me
Of everything important in this world
In a note of urgency
Cause I don't know how to feel

Maybe you should stay a mystery
And I know you as well as anyone else
And you will appear the same to me
Cause I don't know how to feel

Ouh, ouh

Careful now
You'll hurt yourself
Careful now
You'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else

Oh, maybe you should make a list for me
Of everything important in this world
In a note of urgency
Cause I don't know how to feel

I threw everything out that doesn't make sense
To find a thousand more things that don't make sense
And I can't help but get lost in a fault like this
When I don't know how to hide myself in open air
Where I'm all alone, alone, alone

Careful now
You'll hurt yourself
Careful now
You'll hurt, you'll hurt someone
Careful now
You'll hurt yourself
Careful now
You'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else

Ouh, ouh

Careful now
You'll hurt yourself
Careful now
You'll hurt, you'll hurt someone
Careful now
You'll hurt yourself
Careful now
You'll hurt, you'll hurt someone else...

Love, Love, Love (Love, Love)

Taken of Wikipedia
Love represents a range of human emotions and experiences related to the senses of affection and sexual attraction.^[1] The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction. This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

Taken of rinkworks.com
"I think you're supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so painful." -- Manuel, age 8

"No one is sure why it happens, but I heard it has something to do with how you smell. That's why perfume and deodorant are so popular." -- Mae, age 9

"On the first date, they just tell each other lies, and that usually gets them interested enough to go for a second date." -- Mike, 10

"I'm in favor of love as long as it doesn't happen when Dinosaurs is on television." -- Jill, age 6

"One of you should know how to write a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going to be a lot of bills." -- Ava, age 8

"A man and a woman promise to go through sickness and illness and diseases together." -- Marlon, age 10

"Love is foolish...but I still might try it sometime." -- Floyd, age 9

"Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me." -- Dave, age 8

Just what is love?Ladies and gentlemen,boys and girls and everyone else in between,I can't define it either.During camp I learned the 3 different level of love used in the bible, agape (pronounced as ah-gah-pay), eros(pronounced as ee-ross) and phileo(doubt you'll have problem pronouncing this).Meaning unconditional love, sexual love and brotherly love respectively.To me,the definition is still unclear.Is it so simple as to explain what love is in words?How do you even teach your children what love is,everyone's background is so different that one's description or action of love may not necessarily be love to another.What is it with love and songs,they're almost inseparable?I'm a victim of writing songs about this thing called 'love' because it's supposedly the easiest to write about.But really,is love so easily decribed as "looking into someone's eyes, under the beautiful stars, attraction here and there and ta-da,it's love." I think movies have a habit of show this,I mean just look at how many women James Bond has slept with because his definition of love is more of lust than true love.Of course,that's my perspective of lust.

Another thing I learned in camp is that if you're willing to love,you're willing to get hurt.Wise words indeed because most of us choose to love without reading the fine prints and all the clauses hidden somewhere.We expect love to be without hurt because after all,love is the best feeling in the world.Without hurt,love isn't love.And if you don't want to get hurt,don't love because the moment you,you're vulnerable.I'm sure everyone's been through both regardless of whether they realise it or not.Can't love,can't hurt is Augustana's album.What you can't love,can't hurt you,again it's the same logic.In the end however,we're back to square one.What is love?My answer to that is love.Love is love...

Me, You And My Medication...

Today, you should start to sense that a new beginning is coming in an old relationship. What had become routine almost to the point of feeling stale is slowly but surely having new life breathed into it -- it's almost like a whole new ballgame, now. There's no way of knowing what has caused this resurrection of your deep feelings, but you should be grateful for it. New things are possible, and you should open your mind to that fact. It's okay to have hope again.

That was what the horoscopes had in store for me today and I'm not sure if it did happen since the effect probably wouldn't take place today.I was 'high' today,at least that's what I appear to be and I have no idea why either.I probably wrote something which I don't normally write everyday although I'm still in my normal state of mind.By the way,I have urges to catch Made Of Honour, Kung Fu Panda and The Happening in theatres but that's going to cost me a quite a bit so I don't think I'm going to do that.Any takers from anyone to accompany a lonely soul here?








I need a life,seriously.I don't think I'm going to last very long just relying on youtube everyday to catch retarded spoofs or snippets of stand up comedies.I only come alive every night at 2 am in the morning to catch Friends for an hour before finally crashing into my very comfortable bed.So if it's not obvious enough for you,I'm a comedy kind of guy who lives for retarded films like Meet The Spartans, Superhero Movie, Scary Movie and of course,Borat.I really believe that laughter is indeed the best medicine and it helps you forget about all the troubles in the world.It's addictive too,it's proven that if you fake laughters,you'll laugh indefinitely in time.It's a like a drug that's healthy and it's not prescribed by doctors,it'll be cool though if a doctor prescribe you to catch 3 episodes of Mr Bean,5 episodes of Spongebob Squarepants and a dose of laughing gas if your life is so miserable that you don't laugh.And the nurse will then recommend you a few bestsellers in which you are advised to take and watch at your own convenience,of course the faster you watch the faster you'll recover.I'll probably take my girlfriend to theatres to catch some comedy,or at least romantic/comedy but that probably means you're going to call me very un-romantic,suit yourself.I'm hopeless anyway.


Me, you and my medication,that's all I could ever ask for...


Found my way to the highway, I don't wanna tell you the state I'm in
I've had too much to smoke, too much to drink, where have I been?
I feel like the stars are getting closer and the sky is closing in
And I don't know where to begin

We're all looking for something, to take away the pain

Me, and you, and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication

The way back to the right track, maybe you can help me find the door
Is it too much to ask, too much too fast, too much to ignore?
It feels like your body's getting closer but you seem so far away
Medicine make it ok

We're all looking for someone, to take away the pain

Me, and you, and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication

So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
Can you hear it?
Can you hear me screaming?
So can you feel it?
Do you feel it coming down?
You gotta get up
Can you get up off the ground?
I wanna hear it
Wanna hear you breathing

We're all addicted to something, that takes away the pain

Me, and you, and my medication
(Making the best of it)
Love is just a chemical creation
(Will it be permanent?)
Synthetic sensation
Me, you, and my medication...

To Sleep, Perchance To Dream...

Hamlet:
"To sleep, perchance to dream-
ay, there's the rub."


On that night I had a dream
I dreamt that this was all a dream
I ignored the sound of my mother's voice
Even though I could hear it trembling
There's no one on the other line
There was nothing wrong, everyone is well
I told myself until I heard the ring again
The phone

I passed a card aisle the other day
I stopped to glance for a second
I thought about the cards that came
Every holiday, every occasion

Wait, won't you stay here for me?
I haven't seen you since Christmas morning
We can speak in dreams, I dream to believe, oh, oh
Hey, you weren't so quick to grow up
Your laughter and love lit this whole town up
Here's my postcard, wish you were here

Oh, how I wish, wish you were here
But when I, when I, when I awoke I kept myself from hysterics
But I couldn't dam the flood of memories

They're small things
Triggers that ignite a serious of movies in my head
The good ones, bad ones, the kind that make me laugh
The kind that make me sick to my stomach

And I was an anchor of stone
Completely motionless and alone
I was an anchor of stone
Completely motionless and alone

But that night as I answered the phone
I knew the words before they were told
Yet somehow I kept waiting to awake

Wait, won't you stay here for me?
I haven't seen you since Christmas morning
We can speak in dreams, I dream to believe, oh, oh
Hey, you weren't so quick to grow up
Your laughter and love lit this whole town up
Here's my postcard, wish you were here
Wish you were here

On that night I had a dream
I dreamt it was all a dream...


To Sleep, Perchance To Dream by PMtoday.

Your Revolution Is A Joke...

Today was a slightly more productive day,woke up pretty early thanks to my alarm clock.I turned it off and continued my slumber,typical me.I had one interesting dream to another and before I knew it,I got a phone call from Kathleen about hanging out with Steven today and I was like "sure,why not?" since she asked me the night before already and I had no plans for the day anyway.Got up quickly,grab a few bites while reading the headlines of the newspaper before making my way to Siglap's VideoEzy to meet them.We were contemplating on the dvds to rent and finally came up with five and somehow convinced ourselves to get 2 tubs of Ben & Jerry's.Headed straight to Steven's crib which brings back a lot of memories,haven't been there for ages,since lower primary school days to be exact.Had chicken rice before settling on his comfortable sofa and starting the mini-movie-marathon.

First up,Shutter.Kind of expecting a very scary show but turns out,it was not too bad except for some squemish and shock-ing scenes.We were anticipating a better ending too because we sadistic people or at least me would rather see the character dead than retarded with the ghost sitting on top of his shoulders.We caught Evan Almighty after that to lighten up the mood since Kathleen hasn't watched it before and yes,some scenes may be a bit retarded but nonetheless I enjoyed watching it a second time.We ended off with No Reservation because it was dinnertime and I had dinner date with my mom's cooking,not my mom since she's busy watching Korean dramas on Channel U.I took Just Like Heaven since both of them caught it before and Steven has Hitman to amuse himself with whereas Kathleen has her goods from her extravagant shopping spree plus three very comfortable pillows to keep herself satisfied with at home.

Got home and continued my comedy-mania and here's presenting my favourite stand up comedy,besides Russell Peter's,Whose Line Is It Anyway.One day,I'm going to play this game with some people changing letters is fun.Spread the love,I mean laugh people.






Something's wrong,I can sense it.One of my most trusted friend is down with something and I have no idea what,why or how.I'm concerned because for once I feel a little lost,someone's who had always be there for me has in fact disappeared into thin air.No longer the bubbly person I knew a few months back.There may not be a problem happening in my life to share but I miss the long night chat about nothing and the listening ear to me ranting on and on about my miserable life.Ok maybe there is a problem bothering me right now,the problem is written clearly here.I remembered you telling me that I should remember who I am and not change when I got into a new school,I have not.Maybe it's you who did.I'm not accusing you,I just want my old friend back.The one who complains about how studying food sciences contradicts her state and about not having a boyfriend.Not someone who gives me one word answers,that's even when I'm lucky enough to receive your replies.If something is bothering you please,share it with me.I want to hear from you,I haven't seen or had a nice long talk with you for such a long time.So please Hanis,if you're reading this,I miss you.For once,my revolution is not a joke...


They stand to fight for nothing
We show them how stupid we've become
As fortune favours only
Those who care to much to see

Oh, it will never be okay
As some will say

We stand to fight for nothing
So close your eyes and stay away
Don't believe their headlines
They poison our minds, everyday

Oh, it will never be the same
The purpose bearing everyday
The lies that lead you into the grave
As some will say

And you will never be okay
As some will say
Purpose bearing everyday
As some will say
Lies that lead you to the grave
As some will say
Your revolution is a joke
As I will say...


Your Revolution Is A Joke by Funeral For A Friend.

In Between Lights...

Back from camp and still feeling the side effects of sleep deprivation although I paid back a bit of it this morning,it's still not enough.I'm paying by instalment not excluding the interest,I seriously need a full day where I can just sleep for the whole day but that's never going to happen since my next door neighbour's having a renovation and they're piling the foundations which is extremely noisy.So noisy that I rather wish it was my mom nagging instead of it,but the good thing is that my mom allows me to go out everyday to do my own things since I can't possibly do anything productive trapped in this kind of condition.A few interesting things that happened,had a long chat with Kathleen through the first night,played praise and worship songs for the first time in my life(screwed up one too),caught Joshua in an awkward sleep-scratching stance,found another of my God-relative other than Priscilla,experience how running a camp feels like,learn a little bit on how to be a facilitator,McDonald's 24-hour delivery is screwed up(waiting one and a half hour for supper is no fun especially when you're starving),Francis saying 'blub blub' like a goldfish while he was sleeping and seeing his leg got waxed on the bus back to church and a nice lunch with the other yfs after camp.Not forgetting that I made a few friends,or at least people whom I can see around in church and know.

Caught Caracal,A Vacant Affair,West Grand Boulevard,The Fire Fight,Plainsunset and Electrico at Sp's Convention Centre in the evening,playing in that order.I was waiting for a treat because $30 is not easy to earn but I was a little disappointed.The first three bands were probably playing 50% of their standard,maybe it's because they've never played to a seating audience.Worse still,it was slightly less than half-filled so I could probably have bought far cheaper tickets and move up front to the expensive tickets seats.At least it's for a good cause,or else I probably would've regretted buying the tickets.The crowd only started to stand right in front of the stage at the second half and the biggest crowd has got to be The Fire Fight even though Electrico and Plainsunset are supposed to be the veterans and crowd-pullers.I have to admit,I was so shagged I actually slept during Plainsunset's set.I think it's difficult to get the crowd going with new songs because they don't know what to expect and they can't feel the new songs yet unless they've heard them before.Because if you fall under the never-heard-of-them-before or the I'm-used-to-seeing-them-play-gigs-before category,you'll find this one a major bore.And since I'm somewhere in the middle,I was happily singing to Caracal,West Grand Boulevard and Electrico's Everybody's Here.

Today's jamming session was pretty nice,we completed the two new songs one from me and one from Ryan.I have to say my new song sounded heavier than I initially thought and I actually find it pretty cool because I never thought I can come up with that kind of level of music,well it's the first of many probably.And then we spent the last hour playing with beanbags because we booked the studio for 3 hours.Call it SavingSomeone's version of Mtv's Jackass,we took turn in being sandwiched between the beanbags and piling on top.The outcome was bloody,in every sense of the word.Eugene was bloody heavy,I was bloody light because he couldn't feel anything when I frog-splashed him and I got a bloodied gum which got slightly busted due to Eugene's butt drop.Ryan was the worst casualty,he tried a three man uno stacko because Eugene couldn't feel anything after I piled on top of him so I was sandwiched in between two beanbags on the second level of the human pile-up.Ryan ran with great pace and jumped onto the beanbag and he bounced off it and slammed onto the wall,the aftermath will make Tony Hawk cry in shame as his arm grinded the power socket and his skin got peeled off(yes,we saw the skin lying on the floor).His arm had a sexy blood clot line which I can tell hurts like mad and he couldn't feel his arm after that.Ate at Pizza Hut before we checked out the gaming computers at Moberly and lucky for us,it was free.I was damn happy because I don't have a single cent on me so Eugene,Eezzat and I made one team because we are noobs whereas Clement and Ryan formed the pro team,spammed Counter Strike for an hour and a half or so.Like hey,when else will we get to play Cs together again for free so we made full use of this rare opportunity.


I'm in between lights,not sure which light to follow...


Hey there it's nice to meet you
Happy to see you're doing so well
Smiling in every picture
Not me, I feel like hell

Hey man must be nice to be you
Tell me what it's like on the other side
What it's like on the other side

Somebody tell me how to get out of this one
I'm going down and I lost a piece of mind
Show me how to find my other life
'Cause I'm in between lights

I just need another day
Yeah, I'm in between lights
Yeah, I know I'm on my way
I'm holding on
I see the sun
But I'm in between lights
I'm in between lights

Strangers crowd around me
Faces flashes on lonely road
The good life's passing over
Won't you save a little something for me
Save a little something for me, yeah

Somebody tell me how to get out of this one
I'm going down and I lost a piece of mind
Show me how to find my other life
'Cause I'm in between lights

I just need another day
Yeah, I'm in between lights
Yeah, I know I'm on my way
I'm holding on
I see the sun
But I'm in between lights
I'm in between lights

I left my head by the side of the road
Suitcase ticking and I'm ready to go
Don't ask me where 'cause I don't know
I don't know, I don't know

The feels fly by there ain't no time
The sky's getting bigger drink it in like wine
Maybe, just maybe we'll be alright
'Cause I'm in between lights

I just need another day
Yeah, I'm in between lights
Yeah, I know I'm on my way
I'm holding on
I see the sun

'Cause I'm in between lights
I just need another day
Yeah, I'm in between lights
Yeah, I know I'm on my way
I'm holding on
I see the sun
But I'm in between lights
I'm in between lights...

Sixth Of June...

Have a kick-ass start to the holidays Ryan,Hanis and other TP-ians who just finished their last-est papers before the term break.Have an awesome time in Perth Dawn.Have a well-deserved break from extra classes Josephine and everyone who's taking their O's and A's this year.Have a blast to myself and my fellow YFs for the next two and a half days of camp despite me foreseeing a hell lot of mess heading my direction.Looking forward to Sunday when I'll be free and probably voiceless before Step Up For Down which I've finally decided to go and sadly,I won't get the best seats in the house but I'm still going for it anyway.Goodbye to reality and society for the next three days.


It's the sixth of June for a reason...


Been waiting for an end in a life, filled with all those little stories
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Our last encounter
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Still stings like alcohol
And all the stones and prison bars that stand in the way of my amends
Forgive me

I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll come for me, the sixth of June will bring you home
Say what you want, say what you need
Cause tonight is your last chance to reach me

Hope and love seem to
(Say what you want, say what you need)
Be a waste in this mortal reality
So we'll meet again on the sixth of June
There won't be a heart to break this time
And all the souls of fallen men can't stand in the way of our love again
Forgive me

I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll come for me, the sixth of June will bring you home
Say what you want, say what you need
Cause tonight is your last chance to reach me

I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll be there on the sixth of June, our lord will guide you home
Say what you want, say what you need
Cause tonight is your last chance to reach me

I know you killed for me, you're sailing with the rock, Aileen
Promise you'll come for me, the sixth of June will bring you home
Say what you want, say what you need
(I know you killed for me, I know you killed for me)
Say what you want, say what you need
(I know you killed for me, I know you killed)
Cause tonight is your last chance to reach me...

Live High...

What else could be more chillax than drinking a large cup of pure chocolate at a half-empty Coffee Bean in one of the most unhabitated location in Singapore and listening to Jason Mraz laid-back music.Add the lovely weather and you have an ultimate chillax day that is today.I can imagine myself coming here day in,day out drinking the same old thing and calling myself a regular for the holidays.I really love the atmosphere here,it's empty and comfortable.I can be sure that I'll get a nice seat with a wall plug reserved nicely for my laptop and no crowd in sight.Finding this kind of place is pretty rare because it just seemed that Singapore has become overpopulated with people which of course,isn't the case.It's just so nice to see that there are still some conducive place to go to although it's the holidays season.I wouldn't mind crowd but it's just not fun when it's so crowded like say the Starbucks at Raffles City which is packed 24/7.I've tried Siglap's Starbucks too but the wireless connection is pretty bad and I found a cosy spot right here at Kallang Leisure Park,quite possibly the best location I've found so far.So if you happen to be in the area,I'm sure you know what to do because I'll most likely be there.In conclusion,I sing,I dance,I steal things just like Jason Mraz.


I'm living high,that's for sure...


I try to picture the girl
Through a looking glass
See her as a carbon atom
See her eyes and stare back at them
See that girl
As her own new world
Though a home is on the surface
She is still a universe

Glory God, oh God is peeking through the blinds
Are we all here standing naked
Taking guesses at the actual date and time
Oh my, justifying reasons why
Is an absolutely insane resolution to live by

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously

Try to picture the man
To always have an open hand
See him as a giving tree
See him as matter
Matter of fact he's not a beast
No, not the devil either
Always a good deed doer
And it's laughter that we're making after all

The call of the wild is still an ordination why
And the order of the primates
All our politics are too late
Oh my, the congregation in my mind
Is this assembly singing of gratitude
Practising their loving for you

Live high
Live mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty
Oh live righteously

Singing out just take it easy
And celebrate the malleable reality
You see nothing is ever as it seems
Yeah, this life is but a dream

Live high, live high
Live mighty, mighty, mighty
Live righteously
Taking it easy
Live high
Live mighty whoa
Live righteously
Just take, just just taking it easy

Live high
Live mighty, mighty
Live righteously
Just take, take it easy
Live high
Oh live righteously
Just take it easy...

These Hard Times...

You know,I have sudden urges to write something down but I can't seem to know what to write.Everything's come to an awkward full stop now,not just this post.Everything seems to moving still except the time.Life's so stagnant now,and it's not because of the holidays no matter how many reasons I came up with just to fault it.Strumming the guitar or writing lyrics have never been so unproductive in my life.Maybe it's the environment that's affecting me which leads me in such a sorry state but then again,I'll be continuing this finger pointing to see who or what is to blame.All I need is some relief through these hard times...


Morning falls like rain
Into the city life
There goes another night
Lose my breath in waves
Knowing that every crash
Is bleeding the hourglass
And taking the stride

From all our lives

Everyone keeps talking
They promise you everything
They don't mean anything
We may lose our focus
There's just too many words
We're never meant to learn

And we don't feel so alive

Say goodbye
These days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need
Is some relief
Through these hard times
(Through these hard times)

Move your hands in circles
Keeping me hypnotized
The power behind your eyes
Move around your bedroom
Cursing the naked sky
You should be here tonight

But you stay alone and cry

Say goodbye
These days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need
Is some relief
Through these hard times

Oh, oh
There's something missing
Oh, oh
You never feel it but you
Oh, oh
You're gonna feel it when it's gone
When it's gone

Say goodbye
These days are gone
And we can't keep holding on
When all we need
Is some relief
Through these hard times
Yeah, these hard times
Oh, no, no, hard times
Hard times

Say goodbye
These days are gone
Say goodbye
These days are gone
These days are gone...

Summertime...

Just back from The Click Five's Modern Minds And Great Times Tour and I have to say it's indeed my first ever experience in a real gig that's not local.I have to admit,I wasn't very into this as I would probably be if it was Paramore or Taking Back Sunday or even Caracal,the reason was that I can feel there's going to be so much kids and I mean girls who's going ga-ga over Kyle Patrick rather than focus on their music although they like the music.But really,having an eye candy to look at adds the numbers of fans by truckloads.I was lucky enough to be the first few to enter the indoor stadium thanks to Singtel's privilege pass and thus,I got a spot which is more or less rightsmacked in the middle and 2nd in line from the front.The people in front of me are Gwen,Mel and their gang,am so glad I knew them prior to these because if not for them,I would have been sucked out from the front few rows so thank you people,you guys rock.

My first thought was,hey this is a Click Five concert so there won't be any moshing whatsoever.I was right,but what I got wrong was how terrible the crowd is.Pushing,nudging,elbowing and at some point,almost groping.I swear I almost felt violated because of the lack of personal space,now I actually know what Ms Trudy is teaching in her class about having this level of security around people.Almost everyone around you are strangers who are insane about The Click Five and they will do anything,and I mean anything just so they can get a better view.Their definition of better view is,as close to them as possible so they squeezed their way thinking they are slippery eels.Of course it sparks chain reactions everywhere and it came to a point that I felt that standing tickets may not necessarily be the best and I forgot that The Click Five is actually playing.

From this experience I actually learned a lot just by listening to the people around me and their behaviours.A bunch of girls who's into mainstream music are really excited at the fact that they're at the third row and one of them went "oh my gosh,I can't believe I'm this close to Kyle Patrick".And they continued by saying at how they hate opening bands especially local bands like "what's that called,The Fire Starter or The Fire Fighter.I can't remember.I think Electrico is not bad but I only heard like one song from them." That's perhaps two of the the biggest insult ever because they certainly think that they can listen to local bands through radio and of course the radio isn't the best source of local music since they rarely play local music besides,they keep repeating the same ones over and over again so how do you expect the local music scene to expand?Opening bands aren't supposed to hog the limelight like headlining bands,they're there to support the headlining band by warming the crowds up a little bit so give them a chance to showcase them before having this pre-judgement that all opening bands are lousy.

And there's this gang of foreigners,blondes to be exact that show totally no respect to people like me.They think they're like the coolest people there and no,I'm trying to say all of them are bad but a few of them were trying to be funny.One of them was elbowing me just so she can take control of my spot and somehow,I managed to root myself there not budging one inch.And one of the guys was trying to be funny,spouting nonsense like asking Kyle to marry him and cat-calling the bands saying they're sexy and stuff.I mean seriously,this is the same guy who was trying to sing along but don't know a single word.The other one is a guy who's very big sized,no I've nothing against them either unless they do what this guy did.Imagine someone bigger than Eugene,my drummer,and I mean taller and bigger spouting nonsense,pushing and admitting to pushing.If that isn't bad enough,he actually rested his elbow comfortably on my shoulders.Wow,suddenly I became an elbow support and for the record,he wasn't very light.Lastly,for someone his size I was hoping his brain will be at least half the size of his head because he started flicking my hair like some retarded gay bastard,only worse.I mean seriously,get a life man even gay bastards don't do that.

Luckily,all the pushing which I prefer to call 'riding the waves' since you get sucked by the current and you are swaying at all directions stopped halfway through because either everyone either got tired or over the excitement.So I had the remaining half of the concert in the comfort of my personal space of slightly less than 5 cm in diameter but enough to breathe and enjoy the performances.All I can say is I enjoyed myself because the entertainment value was pretty good.I'll give them credit for their showmanship because they followed the golden rule which is never to stand still and although they seem to exaggerate,it's definitely much better than just standing still and stoning.I like stoning too but it's a no-no for performances.Ben Romans and Kyle Patrick were victims of either going too high or exaggerating too much.I like how they try to sound different from their album so as not too sound boring,like on one occasion they were playing acoustic with only a snare for Joey Zehr and how they either start out differently and drag the song beyond the album versions.It's what makes live shows worth more than just albums because that's where people can actually judge them fairly based on solely their performance on stage.Anyway,I'll post the pictures up when I feel like it or when I have the time,whichever comes first.


It's finally summertime...


On the boardwalk
Working two shifts
Saving for that diamond ring then I'll quit
All the cool kids
Hanging south pier
Guess I'll have it figured out by next year

Summertime, summertime
You do it to me
Everytime summertime
You do it to me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm restless
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Defenseless
Oh, I can feel it
Baby is it real or is it just a sign
It's summertime

(Summertime, summertime
You do it to me)

On the weekend
Got my ink done
Take my baby for a ride in the sun
At the boardwalk
On my four wheels
Now we're blasting down the shore and we feel

Summertime, summertime
You do it to me
Everytime summertime
You do it to me
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm restless
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Defenseless
Oh, I can feel it
Baby is it real or is it just a sign
It's summertime

Summertime, summertime
You do it to me
Everytime summertime
You do it to me
I'm restless
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Defenseless
Oh, I can feel it
Baby is it real or is it
(Summertime, summertime)
I'm restless
(Everytime summertime)
Defenseless
Oh, I can feel it
Baby is it real or is it just a sign
It's summertime
Summertime, summertime
You do it to me
Summertime, summertime
You do it to me...
