"You And I Both"

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read of the love, the love that I love.

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, no
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore, mmm...
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I'm free, oh, I'm free

And it's okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of, finally, deedeeededede
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

eargasms (sunday morning happiness)

almost forgot how beautiful an symphony orchestra can sound :)

am entering a renewed obsession with symphonies & waltzes, an obsession that ended with the commencement of my IB music studies. an awful time during which music was synonymous with homework.

it was tiring to listen critically for all the technicalities in order to score on a paper instead of just sitting back & enjoying the music.

but now, i'm glad to have gone through it. knowing the mechanisms behind the sounds only makes the pieces sound more beautiful and precious.

so i'm embracing youtube with open arms :) haha loving the rich, opulent sounds

& looking forward to seafood... yum...

my dearest girl :)

cheer up! don't care about what they say :)

because you're awesome the way you are & that would never change.

just be who you are, do what you want.

no point trying to control what others think; that's near impossible.

please yourself, love yourself, be yourself.

don't hide or shy away. be who you truly are, and let others see that.

let your beauty shine through :)

let them see what we see in you.

love you.

xx

i had a great holiday catching up with old friends and relatives, as well as relatives of relatives...and relatives of relatives of relatives....... yes, i am trying to justify why i haven't been blogging.

anyway i am here to tell you about the greatest Singaporean street fashion designer alive: Eugene Ong!! he has great ideas about transforming the originally morbid skull motif into something trendy and alive.

his collection is not very big yet because he is currently an NS officer.

but the S/S 09 is out. so take a look at MOFO inc.!

i saw something disturbing today.

my best friend & i were walking along huaihai road after a delicious lunch in a warm restaurant, hands full of shopping bags. it was a wonderful conversation and we were feeling very happy.....then we saw a lady eating from a trash bin.

to be exact, she was drinking the droplets left in a discarded bottle of milk tea. then she dived headfirst into the trash can, trying - but obviously to no avail - to find something nutritious to help her get through the harsh winter day.

we gave her some RMB to get some decent food. but no matter how much we give, the cash will only last her a while before she has to go back to ingesting rubbish for survival.

it is evident that the PRC needs to provide more welfare! and the filthy rich should try to do something too.

6 years ago, i saw a scene like this when i first came to shanghai. to see something like this on shanghai's Park Avenue in 2009, when china tops FORTUNE's 50 Richest...how to describe it? disgusting would be an understatement.

but the PRC govt policies + billionaires' minds = not something within my power to change.

in this new year, let's make a difference by giving some moolah when we see these unlucky peeps OK!

after all, it only takes 30 sec to give a fellow human some decent days. worthy exchange, no?

p/p/p/s: it may snow tmr!!! oh, i think i already said that. yep, i did.

"Child elopers' Africa plan foiled

The three were trying to travel without passports or money

Two German children - aged five and six - have been stopped by police from eloping to Africa to tie the knot in the sun, reports say.

The budding lovebirds, identified as Mika and Anna-Lena, packed bathing costumes, sunglasses and a lilo and headed for the airport.

They even had the presence of mind to invite along an official witness - Anna-Lena's seven-year-old sister.

The three got as far as Hanover railway station before police intervened.

The young couple were "very much in love" and had decided to get married in Africa "where it is warm", police spokesman Holger Jureczko told the AFP news agency.

Sun-seekers

The idea for the getaway wedding was born as the children's families celebrated New Year's eve together and Mika regaled the two girls with stories of a recent holiday to Italy.

They can still put their plan into action at a later date Holger Jureczko Hanover police spokesman

The following morning, as their parents slept, the intrepid trio walked 1km (0.6 miles) to the local tram station at Langenhagen, where they hopped aboard a tram for Hanover central station.

But the group aroused the suspicion of a guard as they waited for a train to the airport, and police were called in.

Officers persuaded the children they would not get far without tickets and money, but consoled them with a free tour of the police station, where they were shortly picked up by relieved parents.

Although any marriage plans have been put on hold for now, police did not altogether rule out the possibility of an African wedding.

"They can still put their plan into action at a later date," AFP quoted the spokesman as saying.
