No Surprise

No Surprise - Daughtry

I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round

And now I think that I've got it all down

And as I say it louder I love how it sounds

Cause I'm not taking the easy way out

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why...

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today

Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

It came out like a river once I let it out

When I thought that I wouldn't know how

Held onto it forever just pushing it down

Felt so good to let go of it now

Not wrapping this in ribbons

Shouldn't have to give a reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today

There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow

There's nothing here in this soul left to say

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow

God know we tried to find an easier way

Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The loving look that's left your eyes

That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

If I could see the future and how this plays out

I bet it's better than where we are now

But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow

I can't believe that I stayed till today

Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow

But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

The kiss goodnight, it comes with me

Both wrong and right, our memories

The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep

Our favorite place we used to go

The warm embrace that no one knows

The loving look that's left your eyes

But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

stary stary night!

2009-05-30T10:38:00.004+08:00

HAHA! It was one of the funniest nights!

ellie, joy, denise & i went to yuqi's house for dinner first ((: think we kinda raided her kitchen & her fridge! denise & went HIGH! we YAM SENG-ED to jelly! -_- then in the lift, denise thought that the 2 girls in the lift were laughing at her height! they just burst out in laughter & their parents were like glaring at them! so hilarious!

ooh. & we walked one whole round ajc to the entrance. should have listened to joy & turned left :( when we reached, we found out there was only 8 ppl from our school attending this. like right. & in the LT, there were a few more anderson sec ppl. it was awkward silence at first before it started then throughout the talk, i burst out in laughter so many times! the guy was so funny lah! "the sun will fry your eyeballs! but though u still have one left, u wouldn't want to be single-visioned. & that eyeball wouldn't taste good anyway!" i think i embarassed myself laughing silly, i turned to denise & we laughed out again...

after the talk, we went to this room for the planetarium show. then there was this huge balloon-like thingy sitting in the room. didnt know what was it till the guy told us to crawl in the tunnel. we were like "WHAT?!?" & burst out in laughter again. i couldn't crawl in properly cos everyone was laughing the way in & so was i! then we sat in the dome & he turned off the lights so we could get used to the dark. then ppl from outside the dome were talking & calling out to him & so he had to turn on the lights again. LOL! dunno how many times he turned on & off the lights! i think the dome was so cool! there was this globe thingy in the middle where the different stars and constellations could be projected in the dome!

then after, we went out to the track to see the stars through telescopes & binoculars. we were laughing like crazy when we saw "grace fu" on some signboard thing! then denise came up with funny names like "hopeful, wonderful, fruitful, & very full! haha. i think the other ppl in the school thought we were crazy! anyway, we saw many many stars! i saw a red & a blue one together, it was the southern star! ((: & i saw the moon like real close! HAHA! then we started to take the binoculars & spyed at the units in yuqi's condo! ((: saw many constellations too!

overall, i think it was quite a nice experience! joy said it was romantic indeed.. haha, i was persuading her to take it as a dinner date then a star-gazing session! :D

manda, you would have loved it! get well soon kay?

Permanent - David Cook

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my broken promise
That you'll never see me cry
And everything, it will surely change
Even if I tell you I won't go away today

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
And all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary
Rest your head
I'm permanent

I know he's living in hell every single day
And so I ask oh God is there some way
For me to take his place
And when they say it's all touch and go
I wish I could make it go away
But still you say

Will you think that you're all alone
When no one's there to hold your hand?
When all you know seems so far away
And everything is temporary
Rest your head
I'm permanent
I'm permanent

Is the moment where I look you in the eye?
Forgive my promise
That you'll never see me cry

BACKK. ((: for now.

2009-05-29T12:20:00.007+08:00

hello! yes you should know what i've been up to for these months...
think i've gotten used to whole Os thing.. guess that what every batch goes through yea? but i havent got to the stage where i yank out my hair everyday so i guess i m well for now ((:

so glad its the school hols... well, it isnt really one for me, with school and all. RAH. perhaps its just lesser school hours & minus the training hours. hope i can use this time to do some real revision & i shall not get distracted! anyway, still contemplating if i should DSA... problem is i dunno what to DSA with :(

had my very last training last wed. haha, wasnt really training for us sec 4s cos we were just studying. OOH! but we took real funny pics! we were kinda counting down till the very last moment of training & i guess i gotta say that i will miss everyone from SNNB! though we weren't really given a grand exit [other than the group pic], it was kinda heartwarming to know that we have left a legacy behind for our juniors. some sec 1s actually came up to me & said they would miss us ((: AWWW. at least we can always go back to visit & there's no more ____ for us to get annoyed about ((:

SEC 4s taking our positions for the last time ((:

I rmbed that i havent officially announced this yet! KRIS YOU RAWK! haha. was just recalling the day when the results were out... it was just before we started out NAPFA 2.4km run, n i kept checking my phone to see who won! & my dad kept claiming that he won. whatever. haha ((: then we were trying to delay some time so that we'd know the results before we ran. they were lining up at the starting line alrdy so i checked my phone again & there was finally an answer. HAHA the reaction from the class was PRICELESS! cheering then calming ourselves down for the run, & some even thinking about KRIS while running! ((:

GO KRIS! ((: natalie would go crazy again if she sees this.

OOH! & i watched the AI finale 5 times!! haha. really loved the performances. okay, some. esp the BEP and kris & keith's kiss a girl! dunno what went on with adam's performance with kiss. what's with the wings & platform heels dude?

so excited for the port dickson trip! would be going with my parent's cell friend, uncle simon & his family. heard that place is uber cool! auntie kit mentioned that there is nice food there, a nice hotel resort & A BEACH! i wanna go on the ski-thingy, bowling, swimming, cycling & play beach volleyball!!! hope we have time to do all those stuff. heading on to malacca after that for just a short stay & maybe shopping then come back.

IWCP is on the next day. hope everything will go on smoothly & many many ppl would come & many many ppl would come to know CHRIST! jinglejingle! (thinks of the kfc advert that makes me giggle all the time...)

SURGE CAMP is coming up!!! WHOOOO! can't wait for a fresh encounter with GOD & loads of FUN! WHEEEE! there's service before that on that day. haha. its gonna be so cool carrying our bags & stuff into the LT! ((:

2008-11-17T21:12:00.004+08:00

BOO! went for training today. only yuhui, dionne & me from sec 3s. arghh. i thought he scrapped the whole running-of-8-rounds thing cos he started the ladder drill. but NOPE. was uber tired after the run. cant stand the yellow bibs we used for the game cos they were so dusty & raincoat material. which made it EXTRA HOT that isn't really helping the alrdy bad weather. :/ can't believe he told sngying that they were immature. what's wrong with squirting water and using towels to smack each other. i mean, its during break time & it doesn't affect training... our seniors do that too wad. RAH! my contact lens dropped out during the game. & he kept screaming at yuhui & i for not defending well. but we so tired alrdy & the reason that we don't seem to be getting rebounds is cos their shots mostly go in... so are u gonna blame the c div shooters for being good? i told him after the game that my contact lens dropped out & he asked me to go look for it. hello? it would probably be squashed into bits alrdy or maybe stuck under someone's shoe... anyway, we're gonna have friendly match with northland on wed. hope we win ((:

went for tuition after that. xie zuo wen. then went with daddy & sophia to INTERO. so disappointed with the developer and the contracters. can never get things right. first the stupid clear glass issue, then the defects (parquet, marble, toilet, doors, etc...) they are holding up the whole project & we can't move in as planned. RAH!

OOH! i love corner with love! its so funny & nice. HAHA ((: its so random. thanks denise for lending me the HSM3 soundtrack! LOVE IT! esp. the making of the movie! its so nice and nice and nice!!! ((: & yes wenyi and joy, RYAN ROCKS.

Love Story

2008-11-16T20:24:00.003+08:00

Love Story

Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I closed my eyes and the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, "stay away from Juliet"
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don't go
And I said

Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said

Romeo, save me
I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said

Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It's a love story
Baby, just say yes

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Yesterday, you asked me something I thought you knew.
So I told you with a smile 'It's all about you'
Then you whispered in my ear and you told me to,
Say 'If you make my life worthwhile, it's all about you'

[Danny:]
And I would answer all you're wishes, if you asked me to.
But if you deny me one of your kisses, don't know what I'd do.
So hold me close and say three words, like you used to do.
Dancing on the kitchen tiles, it's all about you.
Yeah...

Believe In Me

2008-11-12T19:21:00.003+08:00

Believe In Me

Demi Lovato

I'm losing myself
Trying to compete
With everyone else
Instead of just being me
I don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
I just wanna believe in me

La la la la, la la la la
The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
And it, it can tell you your full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
I just wanna believe in me

I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down...
Not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength
To make it through

Not gonna be afraid
I'm gonna wake up feeling beautiful
Today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual
Ways you see
Now, now I believe in me
Now I believe in me

Can I Have This Dance

Gabriella & Troy - High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Take my hand
Take a breath
Pull me close
And take one step
Keep your eyes
Locked on mine
And let the music be your guide.

Won't you promise me (Now won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget (We'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing
Wherever we go next

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

Take my hand
I'll take the lead
And every turn
Will be safe with me

To be afraid
Afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you
Through it all

And you can't keep (even a thousand miles)
Us apart (can keep us apart)
Cause my heart (cause my heart)
Is wherever you are

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance?

Oh,
No mountain's too high enough
Oceans too wide
Cause together or not
Our dance won't stop

Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe
That we were meant to be,
Yeah,

It's like catching lightning
The chances of finding someone
Like you (Like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way
We (we do) do

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

So can I have this dance? (Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?

Can I have this dance?
Can I have this dance?
