Gareth Gates - Say It Isn't So

Skies are dark it's time for rain
Final call you board the train
Heading for tomorrow
I wave goodbye to yesterdays
Wipe the tears you hide your face
Blinded by the sorrow

How can I be smiling like before
When baby, you don't love me anymore


Chorus:
Say it isn't so
Tell me you're not leaving
Say you changed your mind now
That I am only dreaming
That this is not goodbye
This is starting over
If you wanna know
I don't wanna let go
So say it isn't so


Ten to five atleast we tried
We're still alive but hope just died
As they close the door behind you
Whistle blows and tons of steel
Shake the ground beneath the wheels
As I wish I never found you

How can I be smiling when you're gone
Will I be strong enough to carry on


Bridge:
Miles and miles to go before I can say,
Before I can lay my love for you to sleep
Oh, darling oh
I got miles and miles to go
Before anyone will ever hear
Me laugh again
(chorus)



some memories last forever, like a never-ending sunset...
it brightens the horizon just enough to see, how beautiful the day was...
just... so beautiful...

Friends

I realize... that throughout my life, I've known so many people... made so many friends... but my life has a nasty way of isolating my past and putting it away, such that I never really have something called... friends..

friends... spanning a hundred definitions and a thousand songs... they support you, they dry you tears, they are your laughter and anguish...

I'm... I guess I've always been a loner... Not having much "friends" if you would call it....

All I ever had were people who stuck with me for a particular period of time, probably because I amused them or because I was of some use to them...

But, during that time, I truly, and genuinely regarded them as friends...



but always, in every dark, depressing situation, a friend would appear... friends that you thought lost by your own hands, appear to comfort you... to give you hope when everything else seem worthless...
they would wait till you've cried all your tears dry, and joke with you till you smile... then you would just walk away...

but always... like a shadow, not too near, but not far behind... always watching.. always waiting for the moment to relieve happy times...

Fair-weathered friends mean nothing to me, nothing but acquaintances... but a true friend is worth more then everything i have to give..



... not that I have much....



I don't even have that many that I can't count with my fingers...



.. or even one hand....



I'm a loner.... by nature... despite my penchant for verbal diarrhea... Not many people are able to converse with me the stuff I'm actually interested in...

how many people my age would happily discuss things like apocalyptic prophecies, holistic treatments and the human immune system?

they'd most likely fall asleep... my mum and dad fall asleep just hearing me talk about it...
(which is most depressing by the way)

my boyfriend gives a listening ear, but I don't even know if he understands half of what I'm talking about....





friends..



who'd be my friend?

Christian Bautista - Invincible

I don't have nerves of steel
I have a heart that feels
I may have cried a million
tears but I wont drown
I let myself unfold
Gave you my hand to hold
You took me beyond where
I could see
And then you let go of me. .

Chorus:
I was damaged by the fall
Got the wind knocked out of me
To be standing here at all
I must be invincible
I thought that I would break
But now I have come to see
Something strong and beautiful
Inside of me
I must be invincible

I dont have X-rays eyes
Don't have a heart so wise
How could I have known
you'd let me down
If I had known that then
my eyes were wide open
I still believe I would've risked it
There's no way i would've missed it

Chorus:
I was damaged by the fall
Got the wind knocked out of me
To be standing here at all
I must be invincible
I thought that I would break
But now I have come to see
Something strong and beautiful
Inside of me
I must be invincible

Hey yeah yeah. . . its a
blessing and a curse
Hey yeah yeah. . . But
you find out just
what you're worth.

I was damaged by the fall
Got the wind knocked out of me
To be standing here at all
I must be invincible

I thought that I would break
But now I have come to see
Something strong and beautiful
Inside of me
I must be invincible...



This song is dedicated to a person I know, who have stood like a shadow behind me all these years...

In Thai, "Korpkunkup" can be used for everything. no. seriously.

And so Andrew returns to Singapore...

... with less then half the things that he wanted to buy...

but of course, that's good. Save the environment, save the trees, save the little children starving and dying of some random delibating disease....

=/

ok. I'm bitter.

Anywayz, we arrived in Singapore at NINE'0'CLOCK, 4 hours past schedule thanks to air traffic and overusage of "Korpkunkup"...
... and I lost my package of the most favorite Thai snack. (which happens to look exactly like love lettuce, with black seeds.)

so lets see..

i bought..

- 1 pair of berms for me
- 1 pair of berms for nick
- 3 pairs of tops for me
- 1 pair of top for nick
- 2 pairs of tops for alvin
- 1 pair of shoes
(note the over-usage of the word "pairs")
- 1 pair of boxers
- 1 travel bag

omg... I bought so little?

... I'm thoroughly devastated... I think I shall go sit at a corner and cry.

T_T

lol.

This was definitely not one of my "more enjoyable" Thailand trips, due to various mishaps... but ah well.... it is DEFINITELY by far one of the cheapest!..
xD


too bad no photos.

WEE~~ I'm blogging from the land of a thousand smiles! (no.. not the land of 2 million smiles. the land of a thousand smiles.... which would make the proportion of smiles here about..... [1000/23,000,000 = 0.0004% of the population a happy one]

oh dear..

wee... life rocks! I'm in a hotel with a bathtub!
and food here is sooooo cheap..
but i think the Thai Baht has increased in value again... so stuff are getting slightly more expensive....

Well, I didnt really bring much money (partially because I'm like super poor currently), but i think it should be enough to last me for quite some time...

The only thing i regret is that i can't try the weird and exotic food that Thailand has to offer all because Jeff (on my right and scowling currently), is too SCARED to try nice stuff...

I wonder.... I wanna buy a few stuff, but I can't really compile everything yet...

1) 2 pairs of bermudas
2) 2 pairs of jeans
3) 2 super nice T-shirts
4) 2 super nice Tank Tops
5) 2 super nice Shirts
6) Zirh stuff
7) 1 pair of good quality Adidas/Nike sports shoes
8) 1 pair of good quality aesthetic shoes (Onizuka Tiger/Adidas/etc etc.)
9) 1 pair of Oakley spectacle frames
10) [if possible] 1 set of contact lenses.


A) 1 pair of bermudas for Nicholas
B) 1 pair of adidas running shorts for Leighton
C) 1 pair of shoes for Alvin
D) 1 shirt (probably Camel Active or Timberland) for Alvin
E) 1 comfortable t-shirt for Alvin
F) one set of condo...... ms... for Alvin.... hahaha...
G) and many other stuffs for my friends

Even my friend who travels twice on flight every year thinks that its the worst...

I seriously thought we were going to crash...

All intact and surviving a budget airline tumble...

xD

I'LL TRY AND GET THEM FROM CHATUCHAK OR MBK.
