Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
I'm so sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Maybe I didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Little things I should have said and done,
I just never took the time,
You were always on my mind,
You were always on my mind
Baby
Tell me..
Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died,
Baby, give me..
Give me one more chance to keep you satisfied
Because you were always on my mind
This particular song reminds me of a special someone. I remember i heard this song on my ipod when my grandpa passed away, and i was on the shuttle bus back to the funeral parlour.
It was raining; torried weather,
but some will argue that it was fitting for a death.
everything seemed grey,
dull and boring, dead to be exact.
People were beside and all around,
but all were quiet,
in silent reverie,
thinking of the could be-s, what if-s.
tears then came like rain,
the should have-s starting ranting,
remorse and moroseness welled up,
but it was all too late.
sad sad times... but god has his plan for the greater good.
trust.
faith.

"hey hey you you...
haha, avril lavigne's song is still etched on my mind.
haha, i did not go to school today.
was feeling wheezy yst, s
o decided to stay home and give myself a rest,
from all the brou-ha-ha in school.
not liking it one bit, e
ven on the verge of abhorring it.
nothing motivates or drives me to go to school,
nothing like the ineffable allure of st. hilda's
-shrugs-
so...one whole day to myself,
started plodding on the piles of work
the list never fails to add on, creating distress in me.
i've got china studies readings,
lit assignments,
lit readings,
gp dml/scv,
chinese,
math tutorial,
econs tutorial...plus the imminent tests.
lotsa to complete huh?
i am still not in the zone,
nothing close to the mood to study,
the willpower to excel,
it has all vanished into thin air,
and the air is getting so thin,
i can't breathe.heh.
it's starting to bug and flummox me,
cos common tests are inching closer and closer,
and my progress has been nothing short of pathetic.
many things have been on my mind lately.
decided to surrender everything to god.
he will settle every single issue,
in his place, in his time."
HA. An entry was was blogged on the 8th of May. Have you ever wondered; a simple blog post, or a simple song could bring a sudden gush of emotions?
An epiphany of disparate emotions that run deep. It's as if you could remember each and every tiny bit that happened the first time you wrote it, or the first time you heard that song... it's like you being teleported into that particular situation, exactly at that same time.
Like reliving your life.
C'mon, you too can create your own form of deja vu.
Heh.

this thought came to my mind as my mind was wandering away from the econs lecture.
my eyes landed upon this bug that was probably crushed by the weight of someone who stepped on it accidentally, that left it struggling to stand upright.
it was summoning all the energy that's left to fight death, that's coming its way.
that bug has done nothing wrong, to deserve such a painful torture and torment.
there was nothing much that i could do, and all i did was to stare in anguish, and watching it flap and twirl around.
till it could fight no more, so exhausted that it finally gave up, lied still on the ground, dead.
have you watched the news?
regarding the new dish that the taiwanese have come up with.
this dish includes the preparation and cooking of the fish, alive.
throwing a fish that's struggling to break free from death, into the wok of boiling hot oil.
and when its done, its being served onto the table.
the worst part is that the fish is still alive.
alive and helpless. there's nothing much it can do but to suppress all its pain and torture to itself.
it can scream, it can't run.
and all it can do is to wait till the pain takes away its final breath, the pain from the tearing of its flesh.
the flesh, gently torn apart by the chopsticks and utensils, fed to the unfeeling human beings.
yet none of them would ever be able to feel what it is going through.
brutal isn't it?

My life as it stood- A bottle of Rum
The rum stood cold in the oak barrel
A year it was to be there, in that American barrel
To mature and age and gain flavour from
the all American oak, why couldn't it be French?
An angel's share was not forgotten
neither was the spirit that was to be still
It was restless, but imprisoned by the hardwood
there was nothing it could do, but wait
Soon the clear fluid turned a slight brown
A sign for maturity and tranquility was to be found within
The wooden planks no longer resemble prison bars
and the barrel became like a haven
But the elysium was not to be for all eternity
for the year was getting shorter and
Graduation day from the nursery was near
What is it to be?
Carribean light or Abrabian spiced
no one could tell just yet, but one's thing's for sure
what The brewer has in mind
Something grand, something for a King

"An average person's rubbish in every 7 weeks is equal to his average weight".
"If 1 million people people cut down their rubbish by 10%, we can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 50,000 tonnes".
These quotes are in view of the Live earth's concerts, which appeal to the general public to play their part in healing Mother Earth. Many have questioned the relevance and impact of these massive global concert. Are people really going alter their devasting and earth-debilitating ways after being apart of these concerts? Are the concert set-ups an utter waste of resources?
Initially i felt skeptical too, where i was ambivalent about the effectiveness of Live Earth, but after watching snippets of the concerts, i felt encouraged and inspired to play my part. I watched the concert due to my favourite artists (Alicia Keys, John Mayer, etc) performing, but that was the all-important step in getting me involved. Footage like short films and celebrities like Cameron Diaz inspired me to play my part, where simple things like using reycled paper towels mattered. I was also educated on the whole halabalu about the hastening of global warming, where the figures given simply expounded on it.
It may take a genius like Al Gore to plan a concert on such a gargantuan scale, but it definitely doesn't take a genius to play their part in global warming. ANSWER THE CALL.
P.S. I am not getting any amount of commision for these blog post. Heh. XD
Madonna - Hey You
Hey you,
Don't you give up, it's not so bad
There's still a chance for us
Hey you,
Just be yourself, don't be so shy
There's reasons why it's hard
Keep it together, you'll make it alright
Our celebration is going on tonight
Poets and prophets would envy what we do
This could be good, hey you
Hey you,
Open your heart, it's not so strange
You've got to change this time
Hey you,
Remember this, none of it's real
Including the way you feel
Save your soul, little sister
Save your soul, little brother

Why Do I Feel So Sad- Alicia Keys
Friends we've been for so long
Now true colors are showing
Makes me wanna cry oh yes it does
Cuz I had to say goodbye
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
How can I adjust
To the way that things are going
It's killing me slowly
Oh I just want it to be how it used to be
Cuz I wish that I could stay
But in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
You cannot hide the way you feel inside I realize
Your actions speak much louder than words
So tell me why oh
By now I should know that
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now I should know
That in time things must change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
By now by now i should know
that in time things must grow
and i had to leave to you behind
so why do i feel so sad
if it couldnt be that bad
tell me why?
By now I should know
That in time things must grow
And I had to leave you behind
So why do I feel so sad
If it couldn't be that bad
Tell me why
By now I should know
That in time things would change
So it shouldn't be so bad
So why do I feel so sad
