This Is Me

Nice song! But her dancing is a little too exaggerated that it becomes amusing to watch.

Lyrics of This Is Me (Click to expand)

I've always been the kind of girl
That hid my face
So afraid to tell the world
What I've got to say

But I have this dream
Bright inside of me
I'm gonna let it show
It's time to let you know
To let you know...

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Do you know what it's like
To feel so in the dark
To dream about a life
Where you're the shining star

Even though it seems
Like it's too far away
I have to believe in myself
It's the only way

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'
I need to find you
I gotta find you

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me
I need to find you
I gotta find you

This is real, this is me
I'm exactly where I'm supposed
to be now
Gonna let the light shine on me
now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

This is me... This is me...

You're the missing piece I need
The song inside of me

You're the voice I hear inside my head
The reason that I'm singin'

Now I've found who I am
There's no way to hold it in
No more hiding who I want to be
This is me

Said All I Need

Do you know where your heart is?
Do you think you can find it?
Or did you trade it for something
Somewhere better just to have it?
Do you know where your love is?
Do you think that you lost it?
You felt it so strong, but
Nothings turned out how you wanted

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you know what your fate is?
And are you trying to shake it?
You’re doing your best and
Your best look
You’re praying that you make it

Well, bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you won’t let go
Of anything you hold

Well, all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Better than you had it
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Do you think you can find it?
Yeah, better than you had it .. Better than you had it

I said I all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

I said all I need
Is the air I breathe
And a place to rest
My head

Whenever the end is
Do you think you can see it?
Well, until you get there
Go on, go ahead and scream it
Just say it

Ghost of You and Me

I didn't mean to fall in love with you
And baby there's a name for what you put me through
It isn't love, it's robbery
I'm sleeping with the ghost of you and me

Mmm the lyrics remind me of a quote from the poem Ode to the Skylark, '[o]ur sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought.'

haha and I think many people misunderstand the contexts of The Pot of Gold and A Tale of Graphs and Lines. Ah well, nvm.

Anyway, this shall be my last post for a week! Every second counts now (:

Love Story

crush

Distracted with all the premature planning for post-Prelims activities.

Jeff's reply

Sure.thx 4 telling me early so i can apply a leave,but it is making me so excited tat i don't think i can still focus anymore!

hahaha super amusing xD

singapore! bb!

2008 song!

Have you seen a star,
One that guides you no matter where you are?
However vast the sky may be
Or dark it seems
You can be sure, it's always there for you and me

Have you heard a song,
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

Wow, this year's song is quite nice! haha but my personal favourite is still Home, though Reach Out for the Skies is a close second.

Tomorrow, there will be NDP celebrations in school! haha can't wait to have lunch and hang out with my housed =D It's been such a long time since I last spoke to them (mmm 1 week?). And there's IHC closing too. Brings back the fond memories of last year's amazing comeback.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BB! No matter what others may say of us, we have always proven the hollowness of their monotonous rhetoric with our united action and undivided belief! woohooooo BB FTW!

simple plan

has nice songs!





haha they are kinda angsty, but nevertheless, still nice.

Recent conversations with friends who brought up the topic of love, friendship and relationship have left me thinking about these complexities again. haha oh well, but at least in class we are still having fun satirizing these issues, what with Royce's Plan GG and Jeffrey's impressive pursuit of a childhood dream.

IM BOREDDDDDD. History readings and subsequent summaries are damn boring. haha this reminds me of the time when Ye Wei and I were fantasizing about the ability to freeze time. Won't it be amazingly wonderful? Like we can just stop time and slowly study for exams. Only drawback would be the extreme solitude and isolation (assuming you're the only person in the world who can freeze time). But the advantages are so great!

From a different perspective, one might even say that geniuses are people who can 'slow time in their minds'. Perhaps one second for an average person is in actuality 10 seconds for geniuses! Thus, they appear to be faster and smarter because of this additional advantage. hahaha aiya but I think geniuses know how to make every second more productive than an average person, thus creating an obvious comparative advantage over everyone else.

Sigh.

Haven't felt so defeated for a long time.

Hopefully it is a lesson well learnt.

A lesson I will never forget.

l'apres-midi

Lizzie sent me this song and it's really, really sad.

Perhaps, the saddest thing in life is to lose something you thought you used to have, but never actually have.

MY NEW FAV SONG haha David Cook is amazing (:

Maths... was fortuitous. Raj and I have a theory - the Fortunes of Answering Nature's Call. hahaha it's because we both realised that while doing the maths test, we were stuck at a few questions. Somehow after answering nature's call, it's as though our eyes are opened, and blessed with this enchanted fortune, we went on to unravel a few of the questions. I think I saved myself at least 10 marks in that last half an hour rush. haha somehow the stress and pressure of answering lessened considerably after the break, and the mind can finally function optimally. Hope I won't do too badly. :\

OH and I feel like planning a scouty outing after CTs! haha we were just reminiscing about the old days today where we would play soccer from morning till afternoon, pack lunch at Long Johns, surreptitiously eat our food on the train, begin our usual three-hour lanning spree, before finally concluding with dinner. mmm we can even go for a stayover (:

tonight

4 weeks just blasted through the vacuum of time and but this brief experience has been memorable (: hopefully the cts won't change things much.



Tonight

I remember the times we spent together
All those drives, we had a million questions
All about our lives
And when we got to New York everything felt right
I wish you were here with me,
Tonight

I remember the days we spent together,
were not enough, it used to feel like dreaming
Except we always woke up,
Never thought not having you here now
Would hurt so much

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I remember the time you told me
About when you were eight
And all those things you said that night
That just couldn't wait
I remember the car you were last seen in
And the games we would play
All the times we spilled our coffees
And stayed out way too late

I remember the time you sat and told me
About your Jesus, and how not to look back
Even if no one believes us
When it hurts so bad, sometimes
Not having you here

Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

I say
Tonight I've fallen and I can't get up
I need your loving hands to come and pick me up
And every night I miss you
I can just look up
And know the stars are
Holding you, holding you, holding you
Tonight

thanks nette and ning for the song (:

haha when you finally understand, like truly madly deeply understand a concept, your heart simply goes WHOOSH! hahaha blame it on my ill-discipline, but after comprehending the finer complexities of dc circuit I can't help but reward myself with some time on the laptop >< ok most probably this will be one of the last few times I can afford such a luxury since the necessity of finishing all the topics is a constant grind against the backdrop of my mind.

haha and now I'm in love with Cannonball by Damien Rice xD

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that I can´t see what´s going on

oh oh almost forgot!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YI HUI, PAUL and GIRAFFE! (:

time

Time has always surprised me with what she has up her sleeves. She's like a magician, tricking us with a minor display before leading us on to a flamboyant show. Strange, how time seems to weigh most on those who have it least. Is it a trick on our senses? How does time seem to always pass us by without us noticing these precious minutes trickling away into oblivion? Perhaps we just choose to fool ourselves into blind belief that time is a perpetual constant when it isn't. Time is limited. Just like the audience watching a magician perform, we let ourselves believe in the existence of magic, that the impossible is in fact unweaving right in front of our eyes. Hence, the foolish gets fooled.

Had a strange conversation with Li Zheng where we discussed the possibility of time becoming a common commodity where the purchase and sale of time is a commonplace thing. Ignoring the complications that may accompany such an impossible fantasy, won't it be fantastic if everyone has a common good with them that has varying price elasticities of demand under different scenarios? The rich and the poor, the beautiful and the ugly, the smart and the not-so-smart, they no longer seem so special when everyone has something equally precious. It might just do the world some good.

I've seen this quote somewhere and it struck me as being quite true: time wastes our bodies and our wits, but we waste time so we are quits. haha time wasting... we are only human, and we will most certainly find ways to rationalize the various inane activities we spend so much time on. Just as blogging may be seen as some to be a waste of time, others seize the opportunity to share their ideas and experiences. Guess there are always two sides to a coin.

Sigh, mugging is sadness. But mugging with friends has transmuted much of these frustrations into something worth cherishing, something worth remembering. I only hope it will last.

And all of a sudden, I miss my oglings, I miss Oprep, and I miss being a J1.



Tu Amor, I will always be
Tu Amor, means the world to me
Estaras siempre en mi corazon
You’re the one in my soul
And I live for tu amor, tu amor.

busybee

the little girl asked the little boy one day,
"hey... will you miss the winter when it is gone?"
the little boy shook his head.
"hmmm... but will you ever forget the summer?"
again, the little boy shook his head.
"i think, it's the same with us. some people make others feel special..."
"... and we will always remember them when they are gone." the little boy continued.
the little girl smiled and nodded her head.

busy busy busy! next week promises to be a fun-filled and crazy week indeed! orientation two, dramafeste and bridge, so many birthdays, welfare grassroots meeting... hahaha exciting =)

sigh, but the irritating essays have created a lot of backlog for my other subjects. i think i need to squeeze in more time for them. if only we could have 25h a day! oh well, wistful fantasies aside, it's already week 7! less than a month to go before CT 1! depressing thought ><

anyway, here are some nice songs from mcfly that i current like a lottttttttttt!
five colors in her hair


the heart never lies

forget all the tears and sorrow

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven
Will it be the same
If I saw you in heaven

I had a dream,
I had an awesome dream
People in the park
Playing games in the dark

And what they played,
Was a masquerade,
From behind the walls of doubt
A voice was crying out

Say you, say me
Say it for always
That's the way it should be

Say you, say me
Say it together
Naturally

There's an evenin' haze settlin' over town
Starlight by the edge of the creek
The buyin' power of the proletariat's gone down
Money's gettin' shallow and weak
Well, the place I love best is a sweet memory
It's a new path that we trod
They say low wages are a reality
If we want to compete abroad

Rain and tears, are the same
But in the sun
You’ve got to play the game

When you cry
In winter time
You can pretend
It’s nothing but the rain

It doesn't matter what I say
So long as I sing with inflection
That makes you feel I'll convey
Some inner truth or vast reflection

Forget all the tears and sorrow, I'll show you the world tomorrow
I'll be where you are right now but I made it through somehow
I'll tell you a different story, we're lost without hope and glory
You'll see tomorrow here with me

zZz

TOP THREE FAV SONGS!

1. Stop&Stare - One Republic


2. Suddenly I See - KT Tunstall


3. Escape - Enrique Iglesias


hahaha wheeeeeeee in a few more hours' time! =)

mm.

sigh.

Switchfoot - Stars

Maybe I've been the problem
Maybe I'm the one to blame
But even when I turn it off and blame myself
The outcome feels the same

I've been thinking maybe I've been partly cloudy
Maybe I'm the chance of rain
And maybe I'm overcast
And maybe all my luck's washed down the drain

I've been thinking 'bout everyone,
Everyone you looks so lonely
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars, I feel like myself

Stars looking at a planet
Watching entropy and pain
And maybe to start to wonder
How the chaos in our lives could pass as sane

I've been thinking 'bout the meaning of resistance
Of a hope beyond my own
And suddenly the infinite and penitent
Begin to look like home

I've been thinking about everyone
Everyone you looks so empty
But when I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I see someone else
When I look at the stars
The stars, I feel like myself.
Yeah!

Everyone, Everyone feels so lonely
Everyone, yeah everyone feels so empty
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars
When I look at the stars, I feel like myself
When I look at the stars
The stars, I see someone...

thanks rold.

JENNYYYYYYYYYYY!

Jenny - The Click Five

She calls me baby, then she won't call me.
Says she adores me and then ignores me.
Jenny, what's the problem?
She keeps her distance and sits on fences.
Puts up resistance and builds defenses.

Jenny, what's the problem?
You leave me hanging on the line.
Every time you change your mind.

First You say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.
I"m standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny, it's killing me.

She needs her own space. She's playing mind games.
Ends up at my place saying that she's changed.
Jenny, what's the problem?
I'm trying to read between the lines.
You got me going out of my mind.

First, you say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.
I'm standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny, it's killing me. It's killing me. It's killing me.
Jenny.

First, you say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and I'm not moving on.
I'm standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny.

First, you say you won't, then you say you will.
You keep me hanging on, and we're not moving on.
I'm standing still, Jenny. You got me on my knees.
Jenny. It's killing me. It's killing me. Jenny.
