Change the World - Westlife
This song has been playing in my head since Si Huan sang it yesterday. There's something about the lyrics that's making me want to put it up. But I think it's a nice song. It used to be one of my favourite songs, but I've stopped listening to Westlife, so... it got forgotten as time went by... =)
Since you've gone,
well it seems like everything is wrong,
And deep inside,
I know that i've,lost much more than pride,
Well, happiness is getting further away,
Girl,i miss you more than words can say.
I need a miracle now,
so tell me,
How can i change the world,
Cause i sure can't change your mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,
got to get to you somehow,
Cause i can't change the world.
I can't change the world,
No, i can't change the world,
I can't change the world.
Losing you,
well it's been the hardest thing to do,
So, i close my eyes and tell myself,
that somehow i'll survive.
Well you gave me heaven,
then you took it away,
Girl, i miss you more with each passing day,
i need a miracle now,so tell me...
How can i change the world, (change it)
Cause i sure can't change your mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,
got to get to you somehow.
And baby,
so sad that you have to leave me,
just so you can find yourself,
And it's so sad that you just can't see,
I love you more than life itself.
No, i can't change the world,
How can i change the world,
Cause i sure can't change your mind,
Where's the miracle i need now,
got to get to you somehow,
Cause i can't change the world,
got to get to you somehow,
No, i can't change the world.....

Tomorrow
Musical: Annie
Song: Tomorrow
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!
The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may Tomorrow!
Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
Haha I put up this song cos it sounded so inspiring, so positive. Hope you all liked it. It was played in the documentary on children with Tourette's Syndrome, and I just thought it was so touching the way they find the courage to carry on with life, regardless of the way people look at them cos of their twitches. Some of them even found the inspiration to want to educate the others about the disorder, and I find that really brave. Or maybe cos they are just children. But... for children to have that kind of mentality, I think it shows how matured they are. Haha I just wish I had that kind of courage. This song was actually composed for a play/musical called "Annie", a story about an English orphan girl. I don't know what the story of this play/musical is, but I think it's quite a famous one. I must research on it after my exams. Haha so many things to do.. Hope I manage to accomplish them!!

Is there a light?
4 weeks more to exams, and there is no sign of a break yet. I'm behind in readings, projects, and reports, and I don't know what to do. Doesn't help that my self-discipline seems to be less than before, such that I can't resist temptations to watch stuff on youtube. Don't ask me what it is, I'm too embarrassed to tell you.
My relatives are here over the weekend, and I sooo wish I could stay home to talk to them. Haha, I like them, and the house is really more lively when there are visitors whom you know and feel rather comfortable with. Now that Yi Lun is still in UK, the house is really quiet. Luckily I have assignments and reports to keep me busy so I don't think about it that much. But still... I do wish I could have more time to interact with them, though I'm like one generation younger. Politics is so much fun. But it would be a different story if anyone were to stay in the same place long-term I guess, so perhaps it's the novelty that's making me wanna stay home. That, and my sense of escapism, which is becoming stronger. The need to sleep is getting stronger too, an indication that all I wanna do is to escape and hibernate until the holidays are here.
But the reality of it all is that life still goes on, doesn't it? Doesn't matter if a person dies, or something catastrophic happens to anyone. The people left behind still have to go on and live life, otherwise they'll die. What's the relation between this topic and the paragraph before? I'm not sure too, but I suppose what I was trying to say is that there's really no point in escapism, since if I decide to escape, I'm just making the consequences more inevitable and much worse than they can get than if I can confront them. Easy words to type and say, but difficult to fulfill.
The need to escape from school's getting stronger too. Beginning to dislike checking sms-es and webmail, for fear that something else is gonna come up that has to be attended to immediately, and disrupting the schedule that I planned in my mind. Oh, if any of you reading this is thinking I'm targetting it at you, don't worry, it's not you, it's the circumstances. I know it's inevitable that communication has to go on in order to get the thing at hand done, but I just don't like it. Don't stop the communication, coz it's necessary. Otherwise, the consequences will suck. Haha, I'm just being bitchy old me, so just treat it like I'm just complaining for the sake of complaining k?
Ahhhhh holidays are coming, I'm sooo looking forward to it. Maybe I should consider 1 week of closing myself up at home. Haha, the prospect of watching tv all I want is just soooo tempting!!!
To all of you who are feeling stressed now, Jiayou!! We'll get through this again!!

Relapse
You know how sometimes you thought you finally don't have a weakness for something, and it turns out that addiction was actually in hibernation only? Well I just realised I haven't got over an addiction for online shopping. I was soooo tempted to take part in an earrings spree, until I reminded myself of how sad my bank account looks right now. Argh.
There was a watch spree too! And I was reminded of my love for Fossil watches. Damn but they are such beauties! But one costs at least $135. I saw one that cried out for my money, but alas, I'm a poor church mouse. Gotta scrimp and save first before I can buy you. Even then, perhaps I'd have another new love. Haha. Maybe I should have a new goal for myself- to be a millionaire by a certain age. Probably I'd be more thrifty then.
I gotta find a job during the hols. Definitely. If I don't go on exchange, that is.

My Handphone and other gripings
It's breaking apart. How to trade in like that? Now I have no choice but to bind it with rubber bands. I think nobody's going to accept it for trade in. Pictures later, when I'm in a better mood.
On another not much more pleasant note, I am sick of eating. Do you know how much time is wasted on eating? Imagine how much time can be saved if one meal can settle everything for the whole day. If you've read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, you'd know about the bubblegum which Violet Beauregarde ate. That bubblegum contains 3 meals in one sweet, and after eating that, we don't have to worry about eating for the rest of the day. Argh. Just eating that one sweet, and chewing it while doing work... I can just imagine how much time it will save. I wonder if the bubblegum will make me feel sleepy after eating it. It would be good if it didn't, then I can do so much more. I know it's a stupid thing to wish for something like that, coz we usually treat meals as breaks from work, and without stopping for meals, we are little better than machines which are recharged by bubblegum... But it's really frustrating to feel hungry then spend half an hour to an hour eating and then spending about another hour battling sleepiness. That's up to an hour wasted.
I like my food. I really do. But I can't stand it when I have so many things to do and my stupid stomach goes rumbling away and I start feeling dizzy. Just wish I didn't have to eat.
