I hear this old story before Where the people keep killing for the metaphors Don't leave much up to the imagination, So I, wanna give this imagery back But I know it just ain't so easy like that So, I turn the page and read the story again And again and again It sure seems the same, with a different name We're breaking and rebuilding And we're growing Always guessing Never knowing Shocking but we're nothing We're just moments We're clever but we're clueless We're just human Amusing but confusing We're trying but where is this all leading? Never know Never Know - Jack Johnson Jack Johnson's songs are brilliant! (Ok, baby picture has nothing to do with the lyrics). CUTE, no? I just had about 9-10 hours of sleep after popping a flu pill. Once again, nose flowing like a tap water. Guess I haven't had enough rest for the past week. Because I've been so used to sleeping 8 hours per day due to classes starting in the afternoon, I decided to ...

A: You know I wish I'm a nobody. So that when I'm a nobody I can go to places without having to stumble upon people I know, and make small talks for the sake of it. B: But a nobody is a somebody

There are some things which cannot be forced. And sometimes when you exert more force to attain the things you want, the more they disappear. I think words are like that. Perhaps a real-life situation would be the writer's block. I'm sure most of us have experienced this pressing, stressful state, and I believe most of us tend to end up in frustration. Frustration because of the overwhelming demand of words from which the brain simply refuses to give and cooperate. The feeling sucks big time. It's as if something inside you wants to get out of the system but they just won't, leaving you on the verge of explosion. Just imagine if someone eats a bomb and it doesn't explode, but it just ticks away in his poor stomach (ok, not realistic). But hypothetically, it must have been sucky. And to a more familiar setting, writing essays within a duration of time, hands clammy and heart palpitating, due to time constraint and word-blockage. And then you'd resort to "cra...

Gosh, I totally lost track of days. It's Thursday and I'm still thinking it's the earlier part of the week. It's 18th February and I'm still thinking it's the earlier bit of February! This is nuts. Probably because I've been playing more than studying. And perhaps I'm avoiding the two-one subconciously. Anyway gathering at Alvin's was a blast. I'm really glad that I've made really awesome friends from french classes. I reckon we can probably just have a meet-up just because without any specific expectations or agenda, and we can make the most out of it, mostly by laughing and talking. We did those exactly on Tuesday. Heaps of fun. And then myself, nuurun, nicholas, amey, alvin & wangjue headed to Simpang Bedok and then Arab Street just to chill (again, I know) and we had crazy fun. We played Indian Poker (AMEY hasn't heard of the game before, ironic!) and then charades. Charades was the best because Amey finds it SO hard to do actions...

I'm telling myself that if I ever go up to the ship again someday I wanna make sure I'll have a fulfulling journey. The kind which I'll bravely face and put up with the storms. The kind which I'll witness how it moves day-to-day with so much passion and intrigue. The kind which I will vow to never be afraid to exude sincere happiness and joy and to always give my fullest. To give, because giving is such a beautiful, self-fulfilling gesture one can ever perform. The kind where in times of wreck, I will always fight for that ship and although it's an easier task to let go and just drown, I'll muster enough energy and courage to survive and hold on to that ship. The kind that no matter how others see it, I will only see beauty and love, and nothing bad can tarnish it. The kind with lifelong learning experiences and where I learn the most from. And most important of all, the kind which I learn to never look back with regrets and embrace all challenges ahead. Because...

Went to Alliance Francais to watch this French play (above) on Saturday night. Yeah the box that says 'English Subtitles' didn't really do justice because the only English subtitles were the translated summary of every scene. But I have to admit that without those, we (the non-French, yes the place was really filled with French) would die not fully understanding anything except comprehending from body language and anything within our capability to understand this really interesting, fast-spoken language. But overall it was okay. Contrary to how he looks like in the poster, no L'Avare isn't a horror show (my mom thought we went to watch a scary french play, but I wouldn't mind going for one in future lol). It's a familial show, mainly revolves around a miser who refuses to grant his children's wishes to marry because he is a one stingy man. Ok, what is MORE interesting, are really the events that happened after the show. So nuurun, alvin, amey and I wante...

Hello February! Anyway I just want to share this excerpt from this French song entitled "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" (so that you still love me) sang by Celine Dion and also Il Divo. It just has a very nice meaning which compelled me to share :) J'irai chercher ton cœur si tu l'emportes ailleurs Même si dans tes danses d'autres dansent tes heures J'irai chercher ton âme dans les froids dans les flammes Je te jetterai des sorts pour que tu m'aimes encore Je trouverai des langages pour chanter tes louanges Je ferai nos bagages pour d'infinies vendanges Les formules magiques des marabouts d'Afrique J'les dirai sans remords pour que tu m'aimes encore Je m'inventerai reine pour que tu me retiennes Je me ferai nouvelle pour que le feu reprenne Je deviendrai ces autres qui te donnent du plaisir Vos jeux seront les nôtres, si tel est ton désir Plus brillante plus belle pour une autre étincelle Je me changerai en or pour que tu m'aimes e...
