::I can Love you like that - All-4-One::



They read you cinderella
You hoped it would come true
That one day your prince charming would come rescue you
You like romantic movies
And you never will forget
The way it felt when romeo kissed juliette
And all this time that youve been waiting
You dont have to wait no more
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you youre everything thats precious to me
If you give me a chance, I can love you like that

I never make a promise
I dont intend to keep
So when I say forever
Forevers what I mean
Im no casanova
But I swear this much is true,
Ill be holding nothing back
When it comes to you
You dream of love thats everlasting
Well baby open up your eyes...

I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you youre everything thats precious to me
If you give me a chance, I can love you like that

If you want tenderness
Ive got tenderness
And I see through to the heart of you
If you want a man
Who will understand
You dont have to look very far

I can love you, girl I can (I can love you love you)
Oh baby oh...
I can love you like that
I would make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
Be all that you need
Show you you're everything thats precious to me
I can love you like that
I can make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
My heart my heart my world
Show you youre everything (you're everything to me)
Love you like that
I can make you my world
Move heaven and earth if you were my girl
I would give you my heart
My heart my heart my world
Show you you're everything

::Leisure - William Henry Davies::

WHAT is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?—

No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

::What's your "poison"?::

I just realised I can't function without coffee!

Just the other day, I was kinda sniffing while talking to my colleague and she asked whether I had a cold or was sick.. I said "no, it's just that I haven't had my daily dose of coffee yet.."

And she commented I was kinda like a drug addict! haha.. it's quite bad cos after that I tried not to drink coffee, so I had Milo instead, but at around 2 to 3 pm i couldn't take it already and went to get coffee!

It seems I'm not very productive or alert without coffee nowadays.. or maybe it's just due to a lack of sleep.. I almost tripped quite a few times these days rushing to work or rushing to classes etc.. hmm perhaps it's the heels as well.. still not quite used to them.. it's amazing how some gals can balance so well on really high heels!

I guess all of us have our own form of "poison", be it coffee, alcohol, cigarettes or wat not.. so what's your "poison"?

::Leap Year::

Managed to catch "Leap Year" today.. It was good! I went without any expectations or any preconceptions, and i must say it's one of the few good movies worth remembering.. the scary and weird thing was how similar the lead actress, Li-ann's (played by Wong Li Lin) thoughts on love were to mine.. I could totally relate to some things that she said or experienced in the movie, like how she said "Her best (guy) friends stay as her best friends" and how "it's better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.."

except that I can pretty much say that some things only happen in movies i guess.. Won't divulge too much details in case some of u wanna catch it!

There were some pretty cool quotes too!

"It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves"

- William Shakespeare

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. "

- Robert Frost

"Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous."

- Albert Einstein

They're Oh so true..

::Thoughts...::

Today, while i was on the train to work, something happened..

This about 6-years-old girl puked! Like all over the cabin floor.. I was quite shocked cos it was quite near me and quite sudden.. She was sitting on her mom's lap and at first i thought her mom spilt the milk bottle, but no it was her puking.. her mom was quite mad at her as well.. and angrily pushed her away too, so she started crying.. I think the middle-aged lady sitting beside her was quite poor thing cos she was wearing her work suit and i think it may have dirtied it.. but nevertheless she even helped to clean the floor without being mad.. I think if it had been some young girl she probably would have been hopping mad! Some pple even offered her tissue and helped to clean up a bit..

It's things like these which reminds me of how much I dun like to take the train sometimes, especially during rush hour, sandwiched between everyone.. and also reminds me of how troublesome kids are and how you should always think twice before having one!

Sigh and I just realised work makes me fat! Especially when you won't have much time to go exercise.. I have a colleague who runs to work almost every other day! He lives around fort road i think.. apparently he runs back home everyday as well and also takes part in the standard chartered marathon.. Ah.. better start to do something bout this soon.. somehow am always hungry at work and the office is always so damn cold!

Hope everyone's still doing well and surviving the very cold and wet weather nowadays~

::Alone - Celine Dion::



I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Refrain:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone


You don't know how long I have wanted
to touch your lips and hold you tight,oh
You don't know how long I have waited
and I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
and my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Refrain:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

::Teardrops On My Guitar - Taylor Swift::



Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

[Chorus:]

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

[Repeat Chorus]

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough for me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

::Love Song - Sara Bareilles::



Head under water
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages
No easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep down under you and
Your twisted words,
Your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were
Hello to high and dry
Convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say
I won't write you a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'cause you asked for it
'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that
There's a reason to
Write you a love song today

::Parking dilemna::

Today I decided to go to Beach road's army market to buy "tang yuan" for my family, and stupidly decided to go park in this quite narrow parking lot as shown below... (drawn using paint!) lol

I went in head first, and had problems coming out after that! Cos the taxi which parked there before me came out of the lot by reversing, and I decided to imitate him doing that.. Unfortunately, my driving skills are still ahem not so good and in the end I ended up moving to and fro for like bout 15-20 mins?!! I was still stuck mainly cos of the stupid motorbike there so I couldn't reverse out properly without hitting it... The steering wheel even ended up being locked and I had difficulty turning it..

In the end this nice uncle came and tapped on my window asking whether i needed any help.. He then helped me to see how far i shld reverse and told me how to turn the steering wheel.. In the end I managed to finally ease out of the parking lot and turn out.. Phew.. thankfully for his help! or else i think i would have ended up knocking the motorbike over.. I think I was like so close to the motorbike..

Another driving incident, luckily not a mishap this time round~
