'Mary Jane'

I didn't cry the day you moved away
I didn't think that I could feel this pain
Until I saw the stranger that was you
Whatever happened to our innocence
And the somethin' that you said about being friends
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud

Could it be
That nothing's gonna change
Cause time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

I need to wake up from this state of mind
The situation is the same kind
I gotta get your memory out of my head
Would you catch me if I had to fall
Would you even find the time for that at all
Tell me how
Help me say the words out loud

Could it be
That nothing's gonna change
Time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh

Cause time has taken back
Everything I thought we had
Mary Jane ...

Could it be
Nothing's gonna change
Cause time has got a way of taking back
Everything you thought you had
Can you see
The girl you used to be
The one I lost when I let go of you
Oh whatever happened to
Mary Jane
Ooh ooh
Oh whatever happened to
Ooh ooh
Mary Jane

Life is Wonderful

Recently, I've noticed, many people including myself, haven't been in the best of moods. Well ... We will never appreciate what we have without losing something, agree? It always takes one thing to have another.

Life is still beautiful. Come what may, we shall thrive through obstacles and grow. Grow up, determined. Grow up, better. Grow up, stronger.

Lately, Wayne introduced me to this song called 'Life is Wonderful' by Jason Mraz. Go listen to it people. Don't just listen to the melody, listen closely to its lyrics.

Ah la la la la la la life is ... wonderful~
Ah la la la la la la life goes ... full circle~
Ah la la la la la life is, ... wonderful~
Ah la la la la ...

Remember to always enjoy life's most thrilling moments, not dwelling on life's most dejected moments.

Helpless

Just a sudden feeling ... a feeling of helplessness.

Well, I don't know how to put it in words, but I just felt that I'm pretty useless. When I was down, there're so many people out there caring and encouraging me, but when a friend is not having a good day, I can only stand and watch, helplessly.

I've no idea how to continue writing, but ... err ... haha.

Forget about that. Let's talk about work. A lot of people might have known that I'll be quitting my job, but a part of me tells me not to quit. Maybe it's been the best place I've worked so far in my life, or it's just because of the people. Yeah, it's a long journey to and fro Sentosa, especially Fort Siloso, but there's something keeping me there. I can't tell what is it either. Haha.

Maybe it's because I've not achieved everything I can. Or maybe it's become part of my life to work while studying ...

Hmm, that's all for today. Haha. I know I've stopped halfway in both topics, but I really don't know how to carry on. Have a good weekend people =D.

The Last Person

I've actually left this person out of my description last week. Well, now I'm going to add 'this person' in. Let's call this person 'T'.

I've many things to talk about T, but I will try to keep it as short as possible, less people get too bored reading my post =D.

T ... First of all, T is not a very tall person and is considered light. T is usually slow in catching jokes, which is why you can't see T laughing, and when T has finally got the joke, T still can't laugh as everyone has moved on. T is that slow.

T is considered a routined person. Everything T does has a certain schedule to follow. T has to sleep at the right time so T won't be late for anything the next day; T has to control T's diet to make sure T doesn't overeat; T makes sure T jogs at least twice a week to keep T-self fit; T ...

T is also a very quiet person. T seldom talks to anyone, and T can't hit off with anyone. T needs time to know people well before T considers he/she as T's friend. However, once T considers a person as T's good friend, T will treat he/she really well. Although T can't solve T's friends' problems, T is willing to be there and listen, just to accompany T's friends through the night.

Also, T is said to be smart. However, T T-self thinks otherwise. T very much thinks that T is just an average person. T is really the T-next-door kind of person.

T loves rock music. T can't play any instrument though, but T would love to pick up guitar if there's a chance. Rock includes soft rock, pop rock and alternative rock. Also, T loves a little bit of jazz. Oldies definitely are included to T's playlist.

T simply loves sports. Can't play anything very well, but knows a little here and there. T loves football, and T particularly supports Liverpool Football Club. T used to have something for basketball as well, and T's favourite team was first Magic then Rockets (well ... T supports Tracy McGrady). Despite enjoying doing sports, T thinks that golf is boring. T can't understand Rugby either, and only knows the sport by seeing battered bodies.

T loves food. T's mum's and wai po's cookings rank first. Won Ton Mee is also T's favourite. Mee Hoon Kuey is T's feel-good food - everytime T feels down, T will order a bowl of Mee Hoon Kuey. It doesn't seem to make T happier though, just distracting T T-self as T usually has a hard time to finish the bowl of Mee Hoon Kuey.

T loves Indian, Italian and Japanese Cuisine as well. T can cook simple Italian fare too, such as Arancini and Pasta. Other than that, T is willing to try other cuisine, as T is a really a foodie.

So ... Anything bad about T?

Yes, T is eccentric. T has become pretty emotional lately, and seems to tear more easily than before. T falls deeply, but T thinks it's only human to do so.

T at times is too serious. T cannot conceal his emotions, and usually shows T's discontents without hiding. Though so, T won't flare up that easily - T will just present T's unhappy expression.

T doesn't really know how to let go. T likes to cling on to things that T knows T won't ever get. Call T stubborn.

T doesn't like to be forced to do what T doesn't like. T will do things sloppily if those are the things T has no interest in.

Well ... I think that's all I have to say about T. Haha. If you know T, do let me know, discreetly, on my tagboard. Haha.

DBS/21/randoms

I'm told to do this, you know who you are =D.

Ok, I'm going to give a description of everyone in my class, but I'm not going to write down their names as I describe, well, first to conceal their identity, and if they know me well enough, they'll know who fits which description =D.

Number 1 - This belongs to you. We were never close until we reached year 2, when we studied in school together during exams and spent time on the phone every now and then. During that time, I was really happy and contented with life, but you single-handedly push me down as well. I'm not blaming you, really, don't worry. Well, 'you' is always loud and chirpy, but pretty secretive as no one really knows what is 'you' thinking about. Definitely a workaholic - for the sake of money and work, 'you' can work a lot and forgo sleep. Haha, loosen up 'you'! You have more important things like friends, family, and maybe ... haha.

Number 2 - I must thank you for always encouraging and giving me advices, accompanying me through my down times when you were having yours as well. First person who had seen me weeped in this class, and what can I say? This person is always there for people, keep secrets really well and is one good friend to have. This person can't really help cheer you up, but this person can cry and be with you when you simply need some one to talk to and confide in. You're great, really!

Number 3 - My sitting and practical partner in school. We always have clashed opinions, but well, open discussions help you understand a certain topic better. We can talk about anything in the sun - sports, music, food, women ... yea, women. haha. Very positive, and smart. Haha.

Number 4 - My niang zi for life. Hmm ... I'm still quite reluctant to accept the fact that I'm 'attached' to her, but oh well, I must admit that she's one good friend I made since entering SP. Genuine, original yet extraordinary, she's quite attractive yet very untouchable. Witty and wise, haha! Advices she gave were sensible and they helped me a lot in decision-making. Other than her serious self, she is usually insane. Always making funny actions and comments that make the class laugh, haha.

Number 5 - Online chat mate. Very 'kaypo' (nosy) and is a great story-teller (according to other people). Love listening to stories too. This person's place seems to be our gathering venue, and this person's parents are very hospitable. This person is intelligent who has 2 equally bright sisters. House of geniuses. Haha.

Number 6 - Only started talking to this person recently, and somehow, we click. Helped me a lot too, by listening and giving advices. One of the smartest person in class - small, short, skinny, and fierce. However, this person is easily stressed and troubled (from what I observe). What else ...

Number 7 (21) - Joker in our clique. Never fails to make us laugh with his illogical actions and senseless comments. The clique always seems so much quieter without him, and he's obsessed with his 'wife'. Haha.

Number 8 (BC) - Looks philosophical, and always makes comments so direct that you might think you're at fault at times. Haha. Generous person, and probably a little 'bo-chup' in most things. This person can really stand by his opinion, strongly.

Number 9 (BC) - I've nothing much to talk about this person. Super tall, skinny with a damn low voice. Haha.

Number 10 (21) - Loves DOTA, skinny, ex-track-n-field member ... ... ...

Number 11 - Loves basketball, especially LA Lakers. Haha. Guess that's our only common topic. I haven't been watching the NBA for a long time though. Tall and quite big in size. This person seems quiet, but can be very 'jiao' at times. Sings well too, and that's our common interest. Haha.

Number 12 - JIAO WEI! Went to Perth with me for OITP. Short, chubby, funny, and loads of crap. Great cook too. Very caring as well - when one of us was sick, this cook made porridge for us, how sweet?! Seems to be everyone's 'kai xin guo' (laughter initiator?!?!) and people find it fun with this person around. More Jiao Wei PLEASE!

Number 13 - Super skinny and severely underweight (BMI at 15?!?!). Used to work somewhere near where I worked before. What else? Perhaps their group of people is the most hardworking of all - always finish the day's assignment on the day itself. Keep it up!

Number 14 - Part of Jiao Wei's group, I've worked with her before in Year 1 for RWP and Year 2 for MMICA. I must say that she's really smart and a great speaker. Fluent in her english and confident. Hardworking too.

Number 15 - Alright, shall we talk about capsicums?! Haha. Same group as Number 12-14, and she's just as crappy. Quite nice to talk to, and would always pop by to ask how I was while I was in Perth. Great friend =D.

Number 16 - Lab partner these days. Damn hardworking and doesn't seem to like to get people to help him in doing datasheets. Always do them on his own, and it leaves the rest of us feeling guilty. Haha. We assume he is gay as he is always trying to get close to Number 3. Haha, but don't quote me. We're just joking. Our Poly50 captain (wait, am I joining them?!). All the best!!

Number 17 - FYP partner. Loves rock music and is a guitarist. Helpful and resourceful. Haha.

Number 18 - Skinniest guy in the class. I was told that he is horny at times. Haha! No offence yea? Hardworking and prompt too. Always finish his work early, and has plenty of time to play. Used to be Number 10 DOTA's mate.

Number 19 - Quiet and hardworking. I've really nothing to talk about her, but all the best =D.

Number 20 - My secondary school ex-classmate. Haha. Doing well as the Floorball's Team Captain. At times she can be a little out-of-her-mind. Haha.

Number 21 - Same group as Number 20. She is the girlfriend of my secondary school friend. Quite a nice person to talk to. Nothing already, haha.

Number 22 - Touted as the 'chio-bu' (pretty lady) of our class, she really is. I guess she is half a vegetarian?! I don't know. Loves to crap as well =D. Same group as Number 20 and 21.

number 23 - Clique with Number 20-22. Sings well, but I really don't know her much. Believe she gets emotional easily too? Haha.

Number 24 (BC) - Buddy in Perth. Strong, muscular, and helpful. Quite vulgar though, but who really cares?! Haha.

Alright. Here are the 24 people who are in the class or from the buddy class. As for the rest, I'm really really really not close to them. Haha. Enjoy reading and see if you're one of the 'numbers' I've described =D!
