Rachael was great live! I think for someone to experience so much emotion and to translate it to write some beautifully sad songs, mostly deep songs and all in all just downright awesome songs is one difficult task. And to sing all these live and to feel the emotions through her naturally unique voice that resounds in the Esplanade Concert Hall is such a great way to spend a day in my busy recess week. Worth every dollar. So perhaps my entries have been very lyrics-filled lately. But this one's just good. Rachael was sick so she had problems doing the chorus, but she was amazing still! I found that record you'd been looking for yesterday The one I'd been searching for forever I played that record all night, you were right The last song said it all Even though it skipped a bit, it sounded better I never, I never, I never knew The only way to listen to a record like that Is to play it through But all of this means nothing Yeah, all of this means nothing All of this means noth...

Oh Sara, you're always an amazing musician to me. I think this is one of my favourites from Kaleidoscope Heart. But then again, I think all of her songs are awesome! Well, I think we have those days where we feel so low, so bleargh that just need to feel rejuvenated. Here's the best song that describes it. I wish I were pretty I wish I were brave If I owned this city Then I'd make it behave And if I were fearless Then I'd speak my truth And the world would hear this That's what I wish I'd do, yeah If my hands could hold them you'd see I'd take all these secrets in me And I'd move and mold them to be Something I'd set free I want to darken in the skies Open the floodgates up I want to change my mind I want to be enough I want the water in my eyes I want to cry until the end of time I want to let the rain come down Make a brand new ground Let the rain come down Let the rain come down Make a brand new ground Let the rain come down tonight I hold on...

The best thing about having a night class every Friday is how I'd go home and turn in forgetting it is actually a Friday night, so I'd wake up the next morning to be pleasantly surprised that it is Saturday again. Woohoo! If it's not too late for coffee I'll be at your place in ten We'll hit that all night diner And then we'll see There's a love that transcends All that we've known of ourselves And I'll wait for it to come I'll wait for it to come Well it's got to be strong to touch my heart Through its shell And I'll wait for it to come I'll wait for it to come One of my ol' favourites on a lazy Sunday. Together with: Tiger Lily - Matchbook Romance Hands Down (acoustic version) - Dashboard Confessional

I absolutely love The Cab, particularly this one sung by them. Great lyrics. Living Louder - The Cab If today's the day I die Lay me down under the lights Let me fall in love Let me save a life And let me lose my voice Singing all my favorite songs Let me stare up at the stars 'Cause its where we all belong My heart like a fight Your working my chest My only regret is having regrets Travelled the world I loved every step And all I know is; No one, no one lives forever We will be remembered For what we do right now And baby I'm living louder And dreaming longer, tonight And baby I'm fighting harder And loving stronger tonight 'Cause we're all just kids Who grew up way too fast Yeah the good die young But the great will always last We're growing older But we're all soldiers tonight If today's the day I go Gonna drink with all my friends Gonna laugh until we cry As we talk and reminisce And let me kiss a stranger And rob the local bank Let me become re...

The perks of running your player on shuffle (: I chanced into a good, uplifting song. "If you have peace within yourself, nobody can touch you no matter what happens." - Mariah Carey Well said, Mariah! Here you go! They can say, Anything they want to say, Try to bring me down, But I will not allow anyone to succeed hanging clouds over me, And they can try How to make me feel that I, Don't matter at all, But I refuse to falter in what I believe or lose faith in my dreams Cause there's, There's a light in me, That shines brightly, They can try, But they can't take that away from me From me Oh they, They can do Anything they want to you, If you let them in, But they won't ever win, If you cling to you pride, and just push them aside, See I, I have learned, There's an inner peace I own, Something in my soul that they can not possess So I won't be afraid and the darkness will fade Cause there's, T...

Obviously, due to many days of unwritten entries, it is due to la paresse that kicked in ever since my exam ended. On a more serious note, I'll be taking an international french exam this Thursday. For these past few days, I've been seriously questioning myself why on earth did I decide to sit for this exam, and why B2 level?! Impulsiveness? Boldness? Stupidity? I really really hope that the 4 papers I'll be sitting for won't be so hard on me. Anyway Monsieur (don't tell you which one!) has been so nice, can you imagine, him, photocopying past exam papers for me and lending me 3 of his books!? Again, I cannot help but to notice how charmant he is. Anyway, ever since Paris (I think I've mentioned this a few times before here), I just cannot get sick of 'Endless Love'. Yes the Mariah Carey and Luther's version. I was on the bus last night, all mentally drained, perhaps mostly on my left side of the brain, for I've used it up to painstakingly comp...

I let it fall, my heart And as it fell, you rose to claim it It was dark and I was over Until you kissed my lips and you saved me My hands, they were strong, but my knees were far too weak To stand in your arms without falling to your feet But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true And the games you'd play, you would always win, always win But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name When laying with you I could stay there Close my eyes, feel you here forever You and me together, nothing is better 'Cause there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew All the things you'd say, they were never true, never true And the games you's play, you would always win, always win But I set fire to the rain Watched it pour as I touched your face Well, it burned while I cried 'Cause I hea...

Just in Rachael Yamagata mood (: If I could take you away Pretend I was queen What would you say Would you think I'm unreal 'Cause everybody's got their way I should feel Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love But I want, want, want to be your love Want to be your love, for real Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love But I want, want, want to be your love Want to be your love for real Want to be your everything Everything... Everything's falling, and I am included in that Oh, how I try to be just okay Yeah, but all I ever really wanted Was a little piece of you Everything will be alright If you just stay the night Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love But I want, want, want to be your love Want to be your love, for re...

I've just been listening to No Doubt recently. Someone tell me why the old songs seem so much better? Run Running all the time Running to the future With you right by my side Me I'm the one you chose Out of all the people You wanted me the most I'm so sorry that I've fallen Help me up lets keep on running Don't let me fall out of love Running, running As fast as we can Do you think we'll make it? (Do you think we'll make it?) We're running Keep holding my hand It's so we don't get separated Be Be the one I need Be the one I trust most Don't stop inspiring me Sometimes it's hard to keep on running We work so much to keep it going Don't make me want to give up

Funny things happen whenever I'm too engrossed in a conversation with someone. Like take last Friday for example in the school library, I happened to bump into this psych senior of mine so I asked her about how honours is like and stuffs like that. And all that while I was registering myself to book a computer. So I was yakking away and I could actually multi-task, but I FORGOT the computer I chose to sit at. How silly. Can you imagine after choosing the computer seat, I glanced at the seat number without internalizing it. How typical of me! Something just came across my mind. And perhaps it has to do with me being a girl and everything. Sometimes I really wonder why on earth do the amount of clothes in my wardrobe simply DIMINISHES at an alarming speed. Are there crocodiles down there? Oh gosh. And each time that happens I feel like I don't have clothes when that isn't true at all! Ah, I need to shop nonetheless! CNY sales FTW :D Oh happy Lunar New Year to my Chinese frien...

Warning, this entry will be filled with awesome Glee numbers :) Gwyneth is so awesome isn't she? She can sing! Teenage Dream!! Furt :D Love this Sectionals performance. The dance Mike and Brittany pulled was goood. And last my not least, my favouritest of them all, Dog Days Are Over. And of course the original is the best although Tina and Mercedez nailed this song :) Dog Days Are Over - Florence + The Machine Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her stuck still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with her drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, for your sisters and brothers Leave all your loving, your loving behind You cant carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days ar...

Modules this semester: - Social Psychology - Paediatric Psychology - Learning and Conditioning - French 5 - Management and Organisation So tomorrow, or rather, later, will be the start of a new semester. Daym, Year 3 sounds so old. I'm feeling pretty apprehensive because some of the psych modules above are rather heavy. I am uber scared for French because this time round it is mostly about French literature which is something new and foreign to me. And that apprehension is futher aggravated upon seeing that my lecturer could be the same one I had 3 semesters ago. Not that he's bad, just that he always has tendencies to call my name whenever I was off-guard or wasn't prepared for answers, like all the time. Do you know how silly that looks? Imagine question marks all over my face while trying my best to form sentences in my head. Ok but thankfully because of him, I bucked up a lot and that probably contributed to why I'm still pursuing this language. So yeah, this is a c...

Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby Sometimes I drive so fast Just to feel the danger I want to scream it makes me feel alive To walk within the lines Would make my life so boring I want to know that I have been to the extreme So knock me off my feet Come on now, give it to me Anything to make me feel alive Is it enough to love? Is it enough to breathe? Somebody rip my heart out And leave me here to bleed Is it enough to die? Somebody save my life I'd rather be anything but ordinary please I'd rather be anything but ordinary please Let down your defenses Use no common sense If you look, you will see That this world is a beautiful, accident Turbulent, succulent, opulent Permanent, no way I wanna taste it Don't wanna waste it away yeah, yeah Sometimes I get so weird I even freak myself out I laugh myself to sleep it's my lullaby I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Went out with the most dramatic person who I can dramatize the most comfortable with, and whom, despite meeting up very regularly, I still don't get bored of. And yes, Aishah indeed has an eye for details also when it comes to shopping so I love subjecting my choice of shopping items to her scrutiny for further assesments (LMAO). So today's awesome! We then proceeded to the new scape just for Once Upon A Milkshake just to get our yummy Cookies & Cream milkshakes (but the tanjong pagar's branch has better ambience), and then we bumped into a group of musicians and they were strumming/drumming/singing away to COPELAND! Yes, coffee! Sorry, but I just HAVE to put the lyrics. There's plenty of time left tonight I promised I'd have you home before daylight We do the best we can in a small town Act like big city kids when the sun goes down If it's not too late for coffee I'll be at your place in ten We'll hit that all night diner And then we'll see Ther...

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 ...

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...

Smile Though your heart is aching Smile Even though it's breaking When there are clouds In the sky, You'll get by If you smile Through your fear and sorrow Smile And maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun Come shining through For you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear May be ever so near That's the time You must keep on trying Smile What's the use of crying? You'll find that life Is still worthwhile If you just smile Keep on smiling Oh yeah Smile Never, never, never stop smile Smile

And I hope you are the one I share my life with And I wish that you could be the one I die with And I'm praying you're the one I build my home with I hope I love you all my life - If you're not the one, Daniel Beddingfield This song really swooned me when I was still 14 (: This entry is just because. Nice lyrics.

Slow Me Down - Emmy Rossum Rushing and racing and running in circles Moving so fast, I'm forgetting my purpose Blur of the traffic is sending me spinning Getting nowhere My head and my heart are colliding, chaotic Pace of the world I just wish I could stop it Try to appear like I've got it together I'm falling apart Sometimes I fear that I might dissapear In the blur of fast forward I faulter again Forgetting to breathe, I need to sleep I'm getting nowhere All that I've missed I see in the reflection Passed me while I wasn't paying attention Tired of rushing, racing and running I'm falling apart Save me Oh won't you take my hand and lead me Slow me down Don't let love pass me by Just show me how 'Cause I'm ready to fall Slow me down Don't let me live a lie Before my life flies by I need you to slow me down Just show me I need you to slow me down The noise of the world is getting me caught up Chasing the clock and I wish I could stop it Ju...

In the years to come will you think about these moments that we shared In the years to come are you gonna think it over And how we lived each day with no regrets Nothing lasts forever though we want it to The road ahead holds different dreams for me and you In a year from now maybe there'll be things we'll wish we never said In a year from now maybe we'll see each other Standing on the same street corner No regrets Each and every end is always written in the stars If only I could stop the world I'd make this last Sometimes goodbye Though it hurts in you heart is the only way for destiny Sometimes goodbye Though it hurts is the only way now for you and me Though it's the hardest thing to say I'll miss your love in every way So say goodbye but don't you cry cause true love never dies - Say Goodbye, S Club Pardon for the recent, random emotional posts, but ah well. Life's like that isn't it? We all each have our highs and lows. There are days when you j...
