+Penny and Me+

Cause Penny and me like to roll the windows down
Turn the radio up, push the pedal to the ground
And Penny and me like to gaze at starry skies
Close our eyes, pretend to fly
It's always Penny and me tonight

Staring at a million city lights
But it's still Penny and I all alone beneath the sky
Feel the wind brushing slowly by
If I could soar I'd try to take these wings and fly
Away to where the leaves turn red
But no matter where I am instead
Singing along to feeling alright
We'll make it by in the pink moonlight
It's always Penny and me tonight

i'm starting to like Hanson now! haha. still remembered i So hated these 3 long-haired teen crooners last time! hehe :) i mean, at least they've cut their hair now. haha.

` 7:40 PM

+don't let the sun go down on me+

:) had an econs-droppie outing today, since we didn't have econs paper in e afternoon :) went ps, goofed around at Spotlight. haha! laughed until i nearly fell on e floor n died. was trying to find e silver halos to put on our heads to take photos (ya, again), but it wasn't on sale there, so we made do with this birdnest thing which we placed on cel's head complete with birds on top, only to be laughed at by this lady walking by. hahaha :) totally can't stand ourselves sometimes. it was really lame, but really fun :) then we ended up in Chinatown next cos we had absolutely no where else to go (S'pore's really boring sometimes), n walked along e cobbled streets, admiring e shophouses. haha. tried to find that chinese-antique-cum-heritage shop that Blue went last time when they came to S'pore, but there were so many of those shops there! ha. today was certainly a great way to start our 5-day holiday!! am like, SO thrilled of e prospect of slacking for five whole days after like, a month of slogging our butts off? haha :)

Spiderman 2 tmr, i hope :)

had this major blackout last night when i was happily studying bio. piang! damn suay. then after that realised that many parts of S'pore were affected as well, so i was like, hmmm, those jc pple studying for their exams are also affected, so nvm la. haha. i was kinda enjoying myself studying by candlelight. haha! it was after this incident that made me realise how ultra-dependent we are on electricity man. n also that we have to stock up on candles! my dad was like frantically rummaging e kitchen cupboards for candles. haha. n we only had a torch n a bicycle backlight to share among us! haha. ya n like what kl said, maybe we'd be able to see stars since e entire estate was dark, but i didn't go out n see! sob! ok, let's wait for another blackout. heh!

anws am still comtemplating on whether to watch e Portudal vs Holland match tonight or not. haha. thought of asking jamie to stay over so that we can "laugh at e players" once again, but then i realised she still have a paper tmr. sigh. hmmm think i'm not watching after all. i absolutely have to catch up on beauty sleep!! thinking of going to bed like, at 10 tonight or sth, but i think i won't be able to sleep cos of all e excitement of post-jct! :)

+whatever tomorrow brings i'll be there+

the england vs portugal match was totally e best match ever!! it was non-stop action from start to finish! i had my Transport in Cells notes on my lap e whole time n i only covered like 3 pages. oops. haha. and after owen scored that opening goal, e cameras were always on him much to my utmost pleasure. heh. n it was really fun, cos i was exchanging smses with jamie, e soccer fanatic of a cousin, e whole time, making fun of e players n having a hell of a good time :)

hmmm. jessica simpson TOTALLY ruined robbie williams' Angels hands down man. why can't she just sing her own songs n stop singing other people's songs n ruining them in e process?! grrr.

4 days to e end of my exams n Spiderman 2 :)

...With you I fall so fast
I can hardly catch my breath
I hope it lasts...

+Nelly Furtado's Forca+

It is the passion flowing right on through your veins
And it's the feeling that you're oh so glad you came
It is the moment you remember you're alive
It is the air you breathe, the element, the fire
It is that flower that you took the time to smell
It is the power that you know you got as well
It is the fear inside that you can overcome
This is the orchestra, the rhythm and the drum

Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar
Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

It is the soundtrack of your ever-flowing life
It is the wind beneath your feet that makes you fly
It is the beautiful game that you choose to play
When you step out into the world to start your day
You show your face and take it in and scream and pray
You're gonna win it for yourself and us today
It is the gold, the green, the yellow and the grey
The red and sweat and tears, the love you go. Hey!

Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar
Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

Closer to the sky, closer, way up high, closer to the sky

Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma forca que ninguem pode parar
Com uma forca, com uma forca
Com uma fome que ninguem pode matar

the official Euro song :)

damn i'm feeling hungry. shall go see what's in e fridge. nitez everyone and jiayou for jct!

` 7:44 PM

+when i look to the sky+

When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here
And every word I didn't say that caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it is impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I am hoping it won't pass me by
And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me...

:)

` 6:50 PM

+let your waves crash down on me, and take me away+

went Long Beach for lunch to celebrate father's day. totally pigged out man :) we were mightily entertained by my dad n aunt's sense of humour! laughed n laughed in between mouthfuls of food glorious food :) my bro was e worse, he was like some eating machine la! i think he ate like 8 prawns altogether among other things. heh.

i can't wait for jct to be over, Spiderman 2 :), n daniel ong to come back to Morning Madness!!!

Yellow Card's Ocean Avenue - my favourite happy song! :)

There's a place off Ocean Avenue
Where I used to sit and talk with you
We were both 16
And it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

There's a place on the corner of Cherry Street
We would walk on the beach in our bare feet
We were both 18
And it felt so right
Sleeping all day, staying up all night
Staying up all night

If I could find you now
Things would get better
We would leave this town
And run forever
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yea

Theres a piece of you that's here with me
Its everywhere I go
It's everything I see
When I sleep
I dream and it gets me by
I can make believe that you're here tonight
That you're here tonight

If I could find you now
Things would get better
We would leave this town
And run forever
I know some where, some how
We'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yea

I remember that look in your eyes
When I told you this was good bye
You were begging me not tonight
Not here
Not now

When looking up at the same night sky
And keep pretending the sun will not rise
We'll be together for one more night
Some where
Some how

If I could find you now
Things would get better
We would leave this town
And run forever
I know some where, some how
We'll be together
Let your waves crash down on me
And take me away, yea

+Talk to me, even though it's just to say goodbye+

Loves:
1. Walls' blueberry ice-cream!
2. Euro 2004 :)
3. silly huimin for always entertaining me (when i'm eating ice-cream, no less) with her gross encounters in e toilet - i told her she successfully made me puke into my ice-cream :)
4. Honey Stars :)
5. my bro for keeping me entertained by acting as Spiderman during lunch yest - he wishes to be Spiderman, n i told him i want to be a witch, Hermione-style. we can be real childish at times!
6. Bedok library. i love e big tables!

i find myself rushing to e living room after breakfast every morning n flipping the Straits Times to e sports pages for updates on Euro'04! hee.

haha Morning Madness did a poll on whether girls watch sports purely for e sports or for e cute guys, n 72 percent of those who called in admitted that it was for e cute guys! haha! like what jamie tan said, i rest my case :)

Jet's Look What You've Done

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems like such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

+i guess i must be wishin' on someone else's star, it seems like someone else is getting what i'm wishin' for+

confirm not sian!! England could've won la! gawd i'm pissed. bleh! DAMN irritating! now sinhui's gonna gloat about her Zidane already. heh! all e same, Beckham's superb freekick leading to Lampard's beautiful header which struck home was really cool :) but still, uuuuuuurrrrrrrggggggghhhhhhh. -pulls out hair in frustration-

heard Closer To Me on e radio last night n it brought tears to my eyes, as silly as it sounds. haha. it brought back memories of camp n how we talked all through e night as i tried to get warm in an oversized jacket, looking at e stars dotting e night sky :) sweet sweet memories, those are :)

i'm starting to talk like Yoda!

Sunny days and sweet romances,
Childhood dreams, forgotten chances pass you by.
Time has gone, and far behind you
Music plays and lights that blind you fade and die.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.

In the evening, dancing shadows
Gather, caring, where the wind blows, fancy free.
In our world of empty spaces
Strangers in familiar places, you and me.
So don't wish your life away for things you've never seen,
Don't give a second thought to things that might have been.

+Melting under blue skies, Belting out sunlight, Shimmering love+

Bend It Like Beckham later! :) i remember how we used to go gaga over that cute guy in e show! haha. oh, speaking of bending it like beckham...

EURO 2004!!!!!!! -jumps around-

haha i switched on e tv at 5 minutes past midnight last night to catch a bit of Portugal vs Greece, n just within 30 seconds, Greece scored! haha. so i guess i shall switch on e tv at 5 minutes past 2.40am tonight so that England can score against France. heh! but then again, i'll be sleeping la. sad! haha. :) anws hope England wins France, which is really hard :( GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!

Counting Crows' Accidentally In Love

So she said what's the problem baby
What's the problem I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love (love)
Think about it every time
I think about it
Can't stop thinking 'bout it

How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love

Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Cause everybody's after love

So I said I'm a snowball running
Running down into the spring that's coming all this love
Melting under blue skies
Belting out sunlight
Shimmering love

Well baby I surrender
To the strawberry ice cream
Never ever end of all this love
Well I didn't mean to do it
But there's no escaping your love

These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone,
Never alone, no, no

Come on, Come on
Move a little closer
Come on, Come on
I want to hear you whisper
Come on, Come on
Settle down inside my love

Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once
Upon a time in love

We're accidentally in love
Accidentally in love (x7)

Accidentally

I'm In Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
I'm in Love, I'm in Love,
Accidentally (X 2)

Come on, come on
Spin a little tighter
Come on, come on
And the world's a little brighter
Come on, come on
Just get yourself inside her

Love ...I'm in love

yup that quote was uttered by Ryan in last night's O.C.! :)

for now, my life revolves around e sounds of Linkin Park and Keane on e stereo, sms-es late into e night, maths, biology and chemistry (darn, darn and darn), studying-cum-going-out with friends, daydreams, Pringles and Wall's yummilicious blueberry ice-cream, blogging, mtv, and looking forward to seeing you. :)

e Urban Dream Capsule a.k.a. e four bald men living in e Esprit shop window was way cool :) initially sinhui n i wanted to just stop by for a while but we ended up staying there for an hour just looking at e guys going about their daily chores! took lotsa photos, mostly of e cutest one (think it's Dan Witton). HA. damn cute! when he put 2 brocolli stems on his head n made funny faces, we nearly fainted there n then. haha! n we wrote a message to e guys when we left. awww... haha. it was really cool of them, being cooped up in e shop window, enduring curious stares n laughs from e public, endlessly entertaining e pple, all in e name of art :)

haha n we sat e Knight Bus at youth park! was kinda lame but e conductor was damn cute. haha. n we had e Harry Potter scar painted on our hands. haha.

all in all, a fun day! :)

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over
And it seems as though the writings on the wall
Superstar you finally made it
But once your picture becomes tainted
It's what they call
The rise and fall...

+A Kiss at The End of the Rainbow+

Oh when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

In tales of ancient glory,
Every knight and maiden fair shall be joined when the quest is over,
And a kiss is the oath that they swear.

And when the veil of dreams has lifted,
And the fairy tales have all been told,
There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow;
More precious than a pot of gold.

My sweet, my dear, my darling, you're so far away from me.
Though an ocean of tears divides us,
Let the bridge of our love span the sea.

There's a kiss at the end of the rainbow,
More precious than a pot of gold.

+EXPECTO PATRONUM!+

:) well what can i say? the brave n sometimes emotional Harry, the ever so clever (n oh-so-pretty) Hermione n the ultra-comical Ron really do make our imagination run wild in e world of Hogwarts n magic! :) it was damn fast-paced n super entertaining due to e many laugh-out-loud parts mainly attributed to Ron n e loony Prof Trelawney! haha. but it was too short :( it totally didn't feel like two hours n 20 minutes! n there were many unexplained stuff, like why Trelawney started talking like she was possessed n also about e Grim n all. i pity e pple who have not read e book. ha. n there was only one minute or so of quidditch! grr. haha. i especially loved all e special effects n e beautiful patronus :) hees. blah still have to wait another year or so for e fourth movie. sad!

i didn't buy The Calling, neither did i buy e AMI album. i bought Keane's Hopes and Fears!! haha. who can be as fickle-minded as me?! but thankfully, i didn't regret it, it's really nice :)

bio practical was horrible. couldn't finish, n i wrote mostly rubbish. haha. but e making of e yeast beads thingy was really fun! it reminded me of those tadpole-like things in ice jelly. haha.

Reverie tonight!! :)

everybody has his/her flaws. n i personally feel that before criticising someone, pple should look at themselves in e mirror first before saying anything.

u're not exactly beautiful/angelic/whatever-u-think-u-are, u know.

morning blogging :) am determined not to touch any notes or anything this morning in case i forget everything i've learnt for bio practical. ha. am quite freaked out actually. just hope everything goes smoothly n above all, hope my bunsen burner works!! tj's bunsen burners DO have sth against me. GRR.

BUT, e thrill of watching harry potter after that outweighs e thought of spending 2 n a half hours in e stuffy lab trying to spot unspottable cells in e microscope n making up some crap for expt planning. blah. haha sounds like Periodic Table (nuclear charge outweighs screening effect). heh.

i LOVE e airport! :) i mean, apart from ogling at cute Western hunks walking pass us n going to e gallery to see planes take off n stuffing ourselves with food, we actually did quite a lot of mugging yest! haha. n i bought e Donkey cushion already!! lalaa~ we saw e entire national water polo girls' team (much to my disappointment, haha, although huimin pointed out that e angmoh polo guy on Life e other day is really ugly in person. heh). oh ya there was this group of guys (i think barely our age) conversing damn loudly IN FLUENT HOKKIEN. goodness. they totally sounded like those lao ah peks in coffeeshops, those "Towkay ah! kopi-kosong!!" kind. haha.

Vacuum Cleaner has a blog! haha i can see kl rolling her eyes now. ha. woah, no vulgarites, no crude remarks. since when was he such a refined guy?! heh. he's quite cute what, judging from his photos. hahaha.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY WYUN!!!!
didn't come online yest, so cldn't leave a bday message for ya. hees. hope u had a wonderful day :)

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your ears,

+The Calling's Our Lives+

Is it love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
Of a better life
In this world
Divided by fear
We've gotta believe that
There's a reason we're here
There's a reason we're here

'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

See the truth all around
Our faith can be broken
And our hands can be bound
But open our hearts and fill up the emptyness
With nothing to stop us
Is it not worth the risk?
Is it not worth the risk?

'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

Even if hope was shattered
I know it wouldn't matter
'Cause these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

We can't go wrong
Thinking it's wrong
To speak our minds
I've gotta let out what's inside

Is it love tonight
When everyone's dreaming
But can we get it right?
Yeah but can we get it right?

'Cause these are the days worth livin'
These are the years we're given
And these are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

Even if hope was SHATTERED
I know it wouldn't matter
These are the moments
These are the times
Let's make the best out of our lives

changed my mind, i'm gonna get The Calling's album instead of AMI. hee! (which means i'm gonna burn from andrea) :)

` 7:32 PM

+long ago i lost my soul to some forgotten dream+

am in a hyper mood today, no idea why :)

maybe it's because it's THREE MORE DAYS to a date with harry potter!!
or maybe it's because of e shopping spree yest with my mum, bought like a thousand n one things :)
or maybe it's because i can smell e rain :)
or maybe it's because tmr is e day there'll supposedly be 2 comets appearing in e sky 1 hour after sunset (ya, like we can see them in s'pore)
or maybe simply because i'm easily happy :)

HEH.

Keane's Everybody's Changing

You say you wander your own land
But when I think about it
I don't see how you can
You're aching, you're breaking
And I can see the pain in your eyes
Says everybody's changing
And I don't know why

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

You're gone from here
And soon you will disappear
And fading into beautiful light
Cause everybody's changing
And I don't feel right

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

So little time
Try to understand that I'm
Trying to make a move just to stay in the game
I try to stay awake and remember my name
But everybody's changing
And I don't feel the same

Oh everybody's changing and I don't feel the same

quite true huh, everyone around me is changing...
for better or for worse? -ponders-
