Video for the day - Far and Away (Naruto)



Really like the lyrics for this song... SIGH

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreamin you'll be with me
and you'd never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
-----------------------------
On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of Hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything,but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

[CHORUS]
That I love you
I have loved you all along
I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreamin you'll be with me
and you'd never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
---------------------------------
So far away
So far away
far away for far too long
So far away
So far away
far away for far too long

But you know, you know, you know
I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me,and never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me, never let me go.

Battle of Wits...

Just came back from watching the movie ALONE. Haha... Sounds pathetic yes i know. But can't be helped i suppose? I really should stop succumbing to pressure and pleasure... just wait it out ya? Maybe just maybe someday I'll get to watch movies with my princess?

Anyway. Good show. Really good. Take away from the movie is a line that went something like: "You (the Mo-family) advocate universal love because you don't know how to choose who to love..." Heh. Sad that when Ge Li (Andy Lau) finally decided to face love, the girl dies just seconds before he finds her. Sigh. Why?

Right vs Wrong. A matter of perspective? Perhaps. Is there a universal standard? Well, with my limited understanding as a Christian, i would say that there isn't a fixed line-by-line rule on what is right and what is wrong. But there is a guideline that our Lord had taught us from his short life on earth. Once you know Him and understand what He tried to show us with His life, you would know too... intinctively actually. Whether you choose to heed it or not is another matter of course.

Don't know what i'm talking about? Go watch the movie AND read the Bible haha...

Ok some updates.

1) Cassie is back. No i'm not meeting her every single day. And no i haven't went clubbing with her at all. She DOES have a bf after all and i'm trying to change the type of activities we engage in. Still... managed to spend quite abit -..-

2) I TOTALLY overspent this month. Again. Sigh. My bonus is ALL going into repaying my credit card debts. LONG way to go man. Really... one overseas trip a year is more than enough. And no more heroic acts of chivalry!

3) Blew $700 on a new pair of Oakleys + Transition lenses. Hey, this current pair has been with me for almost 5 years ok? I think the cost's justified ya? Plus the new pair's made of Titanium so MAYBE it won't get HIT out of shape by SOME people this time round...

4) Went Sentosa on Sat for my unit's Family day. Felt so FAT that i didn't dare remove my top to tan. Resulting in a tanned face, neck and arms ONLY. Feels so shitty when i look in the mirror. SO i decided to embark on my own slimming program! Bought some Fat burning lotion which REALLY burns lol... Considering getting Xando slimming pills to try out too hahaha... I'm crazy.

5) My iPod Shuffle (i named it the jPod on my comp!) rocks! No wonder its being sold out everywhere! Really, if you use it with iTunes the possibilities are almost unlimited. I mean, WHY do you want to buy a 80gb mp3 player that duplicates whatever songs you have on your harddisk, bring it out, yet only manage to listen to less than 1gb of songs? For me i created 4 playlists: Christian, Chinese, English and Japanese. So if i feel like listening to Jap songs today, i'll make iTunes shuffle 1gb worth of songs from my Jap playlist into my Shuffle. Or if i have no preference, just shuffle a rojak mix of songs! OR i can just drag 1gb worth of songs myself into the Shuffle. ^ ^ Ok Apple pay up for the advertising ya?

Christmas' coming round the corner! Tell me what you want for Christmas, i MIGHT consider it hahaha...

The song ZL was talking about...



We Live In Singapura

Sang Nila, Utama
Saw a lion, alamak
Name the village Singapura, then run very far
Years later, ang mor came
Stamford Raffles was his name
Posed for statues very nice, we kenna colonize
(instru)
Singapura very strong
Big guns all, pointing wrong
Japanese, came on bikes, invade us from our backside
War is over, ang mor back
Singaporeans no respect
Commies come, make a fuss, Singapore independance!

CHORUS
I live in Singapura
It’s not perfect living
But at least it’s interesting
I live in Singapura
Though it’s kind of crazy
We win other country

David Marshall, Lim Yew Hock
National Anthem starts to rock
Yusof Ishak the big man, guess who’s PM?
Malaysia say, come join me
Two of us be same country
Then not happy, Then make PM cry
PM Lee lead country
Build jurong and HDB
Made the country clean and green, opposition cannot win
JB Jeya no more funds,
Chee Soon Juan won’t eat his buns
Lim How Doong, what a goon, ‘Don’t talk cock’ in parliament

CHORUS
I live in Singapura
It’s not perfect living
But at least it’s interesting
I live in Singapura
Though its kind of crazy
We win other country
