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.

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...

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

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

All intact and surviving a budget airline tumble...

xD

love ya dear... *hugs*

How can i tell you what I'm feeling
so you'll always remember
what can i do to take this moment
and make it last forever
i know it's been said
many times many ways
but it's never come from a deeper place,

Chorus:
for every minute of this life that i am breathing
until there's nothing in this world i can believe in
as long as there's a single part of you that needs me
i know i am gonna love you completely


what did i do to get this angel
lying here beside me
where did you find all these emotions
i felt deep down inside me
i only know
that this world will change
but your hold on my heart will stay the same

Chorus:
for every minute of this life that i am breathing
until there's nothing in this world i can believe in
as long as there's a single part of you that needs me
i know i am gonna love you completely

Bridge:
i have no doubt at all
no fear of falling down
complete me
be with me
believe me
you will always know

(Chorus)

D/C, Final Chorus:
Until there's nothing in this world i can believe in
as long as there's a single part if you that needs me
i know i am gonna love you
i know i am gonna love you
completely

Complete (2005)
- Christian Bautista



cos where you are, is where i wanna be...
cos everything you do, reminds me how much i love you...
the way you pray that our love won't die,
every night before you close your eyes...

its true, i believe that there are some things that fate binds together,
when two hearts, joint, can never ever be broken apart again..

I Love You *hugs*

Interesting tidbits =D

Taurus and Pisces

Initially, the Pisces native may seem very adaptable, casual and totally at ease in complying with every wish of the Taurus partner. This is likely the attitude that will hook Taurus and bring the pair together in the beginning. However, the Taurus native is in for a rude awakening when he or she discovers that Pisces wants one thing one minute and something completely different the next. While the Taurus partner will try to suggest approaching a given problem in a practical manner, Pisces will express some outlandish method...which often works out better than the suggestion of Taurus and better than even the Taurus partner would have believed possible. Native of Taurus like to have the people they know look up to them, but Pisces embraces no such ideas.

In short, those governed by Pisces are indifferent to anyone's opinion, other than their own...still, there will be occasions when the Taurus individual will find that Pisces is actually dependent on him or her. It is inherent in the Pisces character to stick his or her head in the sand when problems arise, refusing to discuss them sensibly and hoping they will simply go away...which they rarely do. When there are too many problems for Pisces to countenance, then the infamous trait for heading to the nearest bar and pleasant companions in order to drown his or her sorrows will undoubtedly materialize. This unfortunate tendency is more common among the males than the females, but is a result of the Pisces tendency to be torn in two directions at the same time. Basically, the Pisces native does not find it easy to make decisions. In order to achieve longevity in this union, the Taurus partner must accept these shortcomings. On a more positive note, the psychic ability of the Pisces partner will enable him or her to keep on top of the feelings of Taurus and thus, will act and react with Taurus to ensure happiness.

In a romantically physical sense, the Pisces individual will be very sensitive to all the nuances of the desires associated with Taurus and will try very hard to keep the Taurus partner happy. However, if any failure on the part of Pisces to do this brings about the criticism of Taurus, then Pisces will soon be looking for a new mate. This could be a good working match, provided the Taurus native is not looking for...or expecting...a partner who possesses a great deal of strength.
In general, this is a rather happy union.

Being two positions apart in the Zodiac Wheel, these Signs have karmic ties and a deep-rooted empathy for one another. Although Pisces is idealistic, dreamy and impressionistic while Taurus is more down-to-earth and practical, this pair are both nurturers who prize harmony and stability in a relationship. Here, each has much to offer the other. Taurus is capable of providing the grounded approach that the Pisces partner needs in order to put all of his or her dreams into action. In return, Pisces can offer the kindness, gentleness and sweet sympathy that Taurus so loves in a mate. There will be times when the Taurus native cannot understand the seemingly simplistic view of life taken by the Pisces partner...but truth be told, Pisces is not really so simple at all. Pisces is truly deep.
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus and Pisces by the planet Neptune...and to a limited degree, Jupiter. When Venus...symbolic of love...meets Neptune...symbolic of illusions...there is a magnificent spiritual connection. Both Venus and Neptune vibrate with feminine energy and together, represent an idealistic relationship that has been described as divine. The influence of Jupiter...symbolic of philosophy, expansion and excesses...adds a masculine energy to the combination.

A match between these two Signs can produce the type of union that both individuals dream of, but the foundation for this kind of heady and dreamy connection can be just that...dreams, illusions and fantasy. Taurus is governed by the element of Earth while Pisces is governed by the element of Water. In general, these two elements are quite compatible since both Earth and Water are tangible, physical entities. Thus, Taurus can help Pisces to stablilize the inherent sensitivity while Pisces can bring a touch of magic to the practical approach of Taurus. However, care needs to be taken to ensure against too much of a good thing...after all, an over abundance of Water can turn Earth into mud. In short, Taurus could tire of Pisces' emotional instability and in turn, Pisces may feel that Taurus is insensitive to his or her needs. Fortunately, it is often easy for this pair to find a way to overcome their differences. Taurus is Fixed in quality and Pisces is mutable. Where Taurus is steady, stubborn, practical and focused, Pisces adores the sensation of mobility...the feeling of being able to move from one thought to the next according to fancy. Thus, the Taurus rigidity can hamper the flexibility of Pisces and it will be necessary for Taurus to learn how to let Pisces flow if this union is to achieve longevity. In return, Pisces will be very supportive and exceedingly loving. Pisces can show Taurus that mutability is sometimes better than a fixed determination to do thing one way...and one way only. Here, the different emotional natures of the Taurus/Pisces combination tend to complement and harmonize with each other very well. The overall empathy and commitment of this pair is valued greatly by both individuals, resulting in a relationship where the ties will usually be strong.

In essence, this combination is a very good one. The sentimental Pisces partner will find much comfort in the sympathetic nature of the Taurus individual...and the romantic, imaginative, imprerssionable and flexible Pisces native is exactly what Taurus is seeking in a mate. This couple will share their appreciation for beauty, art, sensuality and many of the other fine things life has to offer. Still, each partner here will need to keep a careful watch on his or her emotions in order for this union to work.




*hugs tightly* I love you dear *muacks* =D
