Life is too fragile. In yesterday's Home section of Straits Times, splashed on the first page was an article on a 16-year old boy who was found dead in his bed when his family gave him a birthday surprise in the morning.
His mother's my violin teacher. The anguish and shock the family experienced can never be comprehended. It was a really tragic death. Sigh. I even remembered once she asked me and Mildred to find a geography 10-yr series for him in Popular and now.. he's passed away. Although he's not directly related to me, its still really heartbreaking to hear this news. Really pray that her family will recover soon.. although its gonna take some time.
Anyway this song by Christina Aguilera really touching. Its about her relationship with her father.
Seems like it was yesterday
When I saw your face
You told me how proud you were,
But I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won't be there
Oh, I'm sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn't do
And I've hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broken inside
But I won't admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide
'Cause it's you I miss
And it's so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this, ooh
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
Christina Aguilera - Hurt
Hmm Thais and Japs have a really funny sense of humour. Funniest commercials ever. Darn I just can't stop laughing after watching them!
Thais never eat crab before
And Japs love their pretzels and geishas (must watch till the end no matter how irritating the music is! :p)
The dreaded A's are looming closer.... but nevertheless the past week has been a BLAST! :D All thanks to beloved Hotbeans, Hotchick(en)s and S06-ers! Loving my class more and more.. Friday Mrs Gay even treated us to pizza! :) And Vera made this really really funny yet touching MV of the five of us.. :) Yeah, as we go on with our lives... to uni or wherever.. we'll always remember and cherish all these wonderful memories! And must remember our Sentosa suntanning & vivocity-loving and prom shopping straight after our last Bio paper! ;D Urghhh.. can't wait! Anyway to recapp,
first it was Weilin's 18th at OM cafe! (the baby cum rugrat of our grp.. lol) The cafe's really nice! Love the deco and the food's darn cheap, heh.
Ladia and me..
The graduation ceremony on Wednesday, and some S06-loving..:)
Then it was prata night for Song-er, Ladia and me, and stayover at Song-er's house! The chocolate paper prata was simply delish... (and as a result missed GP lesson the next day -.-)
Anyway just looove all of you guys for making this otherwise mundane life beautiful! :D Thank God for all of youuu! (becomes emo..)
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change,
Come whatever
We will still be, friends forever. :)
Time sure flies...

I love the song playing on my blog now. :)
Sometimes dreams seem so real it becomes difficult to distinguish them from reality.
Now TPJC.net is down and they put up a darn picture of a nice beach with the word Dream on it, right in the middle of mugging for our A'levels. -.- How encouraging and motivating...
Found a GREAT fansite for Grey's Anatomy which provides many many clips of Season Three! Oh gosh I'm hooked now.
Jet's new album is out! But haven't heard good reviews about it; but I love their new single Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
Now I have a whole list of movies I wanna watch: The Prestige, Black Dahlia, Scoop, Closer.. Anyway World Trade Centre is really touching though a 'lil draggy, watch if you're feeling emo haha. Its similar to Ladder 49 but I prefer the latter.
I wanna go to Om Cafe again and smoke sheesha.
Oh well I'm in a random mood today. Or maybe its just the haze.
!!! Grey's Anatomy Season 2's ending next Monday.... Urgh damn sad la! Oh well. No more late Monday nights, heh. And man, this song is stuck in my head..
I am looking, lookin' for something
Can't quite put my mind at ease
'Cause I need to see, see an opening
Take my arms in and bring
Bring it together, make it warmer
All for me
Lookin' for the sun in England
Throw him a lifeline 'cause he's sinkin'
'Cause everyone's got their enemies
And everybody needs a fence to lean on
Remember how the hospitals were vacant
'Cause everybody's got their enemies
Everybodys got their enemies
Everybody's got their enemies
Everybody's got their enemies
Headlights - Everybody Needs A Fence To Lean On

I'm finally done! Off to do some workkk..
Yay, I got a new phone! :D Sony Ericsson W700i, and I love it! Its a walkman phone and has a great 2megapix camera and expandable memory so I can put all my favourite songs in. Plus radio! :) It was sorta last minute purchase because its already 21 mths so I could upgrade; and we were at the Singtel shop and this phone was on a really good offer at 138 bucks, but only for that day. So yay, we bought it. And I saw a really, really nice purple halter dress at TM; may be planning to get it for prom, its really pretty.
Anyway today my pretty cousin got ROM-ed! :D :D :D So happy for her. And her elder sis is also getting married next year and they're planning to hold the wedding together! Shuang xi ling men. It was touching and sweet witnessing their exchange of vows and rings.. This is actually my first time witnessing such an event. =x Here are some pictures of the ceremony:
:) Can't wait to attend their wedding! (btw the pictures are taken with my samsung phone not my new one, heh) And its getting hazier and hazier each day. Urgh.
LOL Cheow Joo's my soulmate man! We love Muse, Tim Burton, Greys' Anatomy, Scissor Sisters.. OMG. :D At last, someone with the same interests :P Anyway I was once her tudi, haha. So, like shifu, like tudi. Ahh, you seem to be having so much fun in tourism and hospitality. Wish I've done that too....but oh well, now am stuck in the dreaded Alevels and can't get out of it, so just have to go through it, heh.
Stayed back after school to do some "mugging". Tried but kinda a failed attempt. Shaina went for lunch with her uncle and mother, and Vera and Shulin went home. So joined Veron and Genever, 'cause anyway I was doing the same compre as Veron. Gosh, I think I only manage to finish 5 pathetic qns of the RJC Prelim paper, the rest of the time were spent chatting and eating waffle and drinking bubble tea.... and anyway the passage was so damn long, couldn't concentrate at all. Crapped and laughed like mad; it was actually real fun talking to the both of them. :) And then we went home around 5 plus.
And alright, I really don't feel like going school tomorrow. Hm. -.- Yay, project runway tonight! Designing gowns for Ms USA.. A must watch, heh. Now, I really like Josh Radin's songs.. really soothing and touching :)
Digging a hole and the walls are caving in
Behind me air's getting thin but I'm trying
I'm breathing in
Come find me
It hasn't felt like this before
It hasn't felt like home before you
And I know it's easy to say but it's harder to feel
This way
And I miss you more than I should
Than I thought I could
Can't get my mind off of you
I know you're scared that I'll soon be over it
That's part of it all
Part of the beauty of falling in love with you is the fear you won't fall
Joshua Radin - The Fear You Won't Fall
Sheesh I'm in LOVE with this song by Anna Nalick, Breathe. Its been played in Greys' Anatomy and everytime I listen to this song, Meredith and McDreamy immediately comes into my mind.
There's a light at each end of this tunnel
You shout cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made
You'll just make them again if you'll only try turnin' around
2 AM and I'm still awake writing this song
If I get it all down on paper it's no longer inside of me
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary screamin' out aloud
And I know that you'll use them however you want to
But you can't jump the track
We're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass glued to the table,
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand, yeah breathe
Just breathe, oh breathe, just breathe.
Anna Nalick - Breathe
Cried like mad during yesterday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, especially the last part when Izzie cut off the life supply for Denny and Birk was shot. It's one of the most emotional episodes, I can just watch over and over again and still cry. -.- Anyway Mollie Sue is out of ANTM, but Jade is still in?! ARGH.
All the prelim results are finally out and time to start pia-ing. ACE. Really thank God for everything. :) Surprised for Maths and Bio. Urgh 0.25 marks to round up to D for Chem. Felt so stupid for feeling so happy when super nice Ah Lek (we're in Ah Lek's fanclub anw) gave me the 1/2 mark, and in the end it still an E. My tutor's gonna kill me. But oh well its just prelims, so just gotta work much harder for A's. No use brooding over the results anymore. Oh yeah, and at least I passed GP with a C5, yayy. :)
Alright am freaking tired now.... shall take a nap, heh.
