Have you heard the song 'Hey there Delilah'? At first I found it pretty comical and freaky, kind of like a stalker singing to Delilah. However, after a few more listens, I'm beginning to find it really sweet and honest. I wonder if it truly came from a random guy writing a little love song for his girlfriend across the country who happened to get his songs played by Ryan Seacrest on the radio and hence shot to fame.

Since I'm on the topic of music, here's a little question for you: What do Michelle Branch, Tanya Chua (if you know her) and Juno (from the movie Juno) have in common?

I'll elaborate tomorrow as I'm still not in the writing mood just yet. =)

Thyroid's up again... Darn.. means lots of weight gain to come. The first time I started medication, I gainied about 8kg. The second time it relapsed , before I could lose any of that weight, I gained like another 4 or 6. I wonder what this round is gonna make me balloon to. Don't be surprised if the next time you see me, you see an elephant. :(

Work Wok

I've just woken up from a super tiring wedding event last night at my workplace (and it's ro-ches-ter, not rochter!) I'm beginning to become attached to the people and the place.

Oh no, word constipation.

Oh wells, they were super duper nice when my family and I went to dinner for my sister's birthday. I only hoped for a complimentary slice of cake for heer but they gace her a whole BOTTLE of sparkling wine, specially made a non-alcoholic drink for my mum, and a special appitiser done by the chef. Wha,... Superb.

Ook I need to finish reading my humongous stack of backdated newspapers, prepare my tuition lesson, file the tuition worksheets, get my closet in working order, and hmm what else? change bedsheet!~ haha...

Tearing

This is probably the only video that has brought tears to my eyes. Courtesy of Paul, this video depicts a splendid piano cello duet by this famous pianist Joe Hisaishi. The chemistry they have is.. whooo.

Dreams

I'm sure everybody would have had an aspiration or dream at one point or another, whether it be a silly childhood dream to become a fairy princess or a well-thought one during one of the milestones in your life, e.g O levels etc. Everyone should have dreams, whether or not they're actually attainable or not because I feel it serves as a point of escape once in a while. Should life always be taken at such full seriousness?

My childhood dream, believe it or not, was to become a NASA astronaut. Why? To experience weightlessness of course! I never knew astronauts had to use their brains till much later on in my life. To me, astronaut-ing meant jumping around on the moon made of cheese for ages. Oops, sorry not smart enough. Poof!

The second dream was to becaome a scientist/researcher (Something I totally loathe now) Why? So that I could find a way to kill all the mosquitoes, flies and ants! Hehheh...

I would have told most of my my friends already, that my mother's lifelong dream was to become a teacher, she was forced by her dad to do law. However, she recently reminded me that her other less noble childhood dream was to become a cashier. yes, a cashier. Why? So that she can press the button and get to handle lots of money!! HAhaa....

It's nice to recall things of the past, especially how funnily you thought things our as a child. Don't you think so?

So.... What's your childhood dream?

Oh yes! Example of cute baby!

Cons!! Watch this! Look up the other versions if you have time. :D

Annoying things

My glasses have broken, so now I see everything in super sub crystal clarity. (My way of saying BLUR) It's hellova irritating vecause spedning time on the computer pprobably means a nasty headache after that. Please excuse any typos, BLUR.

I was thibnkning about how some kidsa res o adorable that you could eat them, I mean bring them home, and how osme are just so irritating you wish you could squish them. I wonder what I'd do if my kid was irritating, aiyo so sad.

Thinkgs to get done by the end of 2008:
Get these darned braces off my teeth
Go fo lasik
Finish my driving

Actyally that;s about all of the major things I would need to finish.

Ok, my head is throbbing for an unknown reason. I've woken up with headaches ever since last Sunday. MY mum says it's because of me sleeping with wet hair, my sister says it's my sleeping position, while I think it's because of the stupid rubber bands in my mouth. However I'ce done what any science student would do and systematically experimented by removing one of those varients at a time. Results: {pErsistant haeadache. Dang.

Omg, my touch typingis terrible. But I'm not going to change it. Haha.

Post-results, pre-enrolment

It's been quite some time since I've last posted something worth reading, sad to say, I don't think this post is it either. The recent absence is probably due to the recent emo stint I've had, not really due to the results, but more because of the entire confused mess I feel my life is in. Right now when it comes to choosing my courses, I feel like just disregarding all rhyme and reason and, as the saying goes, Just whack. I don't feel like thinking so much any more, what the future may be, what regrets I may potentially have or what are the consequences of my choice or even what other options there are. I'm just too tired of contemplating. Plus I've had this irritating perpetual headache since the weekend that refuses to go away despite how much I sleep. Thankfully Nat managed to relieve my headache for a while with all the rubbish we laughed about.

Once again, lazy as I am to write, here's a pictorial:

Remeber our HUGE Nokia phones?? Taa-daAa!! Blast to the past!

Looks like a walkie talkie to me...

Here's a lovely picture of wedding decorations, the idea of floating balloons never occured to me, I simply thought of a juggling clown preceding the bride instead of the typical flower girl/bell boy regime. (i.e. Don't let me plan your wedding unless you want it to be a joke)

We got a huge punnet of strawberries last week! They were all sooo huge and gorgeous that it felt as if I were choosing a husband from a lot of Mr Manhunt men!

And yet another random picture, this time of Roger's amazingly huge... feet. you're a born Ronald Mcdonald yea? (hehheh)

And to end off, here's a not very spectacular but still my favourite view of Dover from the top. =)

Don't think it's all trees, shrubs and grass, it's a freaking rich man's land down there!

Enjoy your life everyone. =)

Insanity

I feel like I'm losing my mind, losing myself and becoming crazy. Working with the special kids makes me wish sometimes that I were equally oblivious and unconcerned about everything that goes around me and my life. Whilst I was on my way home today, a strikingly frightening thought came to my mind, I feel like a complete stranger to myself. I don't know how to explain it, I simply thought to myself, who am I and how am I thinking? I don't know, it's weird.

Darn results are coming out. It's not like this period in my life is going to end, but it just means that I'm getting closer and closer to another phase in my life. I wish I could remain a student for the rest of my life sometimes, worrying only about exams and nothing else of greater importance.

I'm sure most of you would know of artists such as the planet shakers or the parachuters or something like that. They're bands which belong to a genre quite different-Worship bands who have made it darn big. Frankly speaking, coming from a Presbyterian church, (supposedly one of the most conservative denominations of all Christians) I find myself note very fond of these songs. If you don't know what I'm talking about, think of it as mainstream pop songs or love ballads with the object of affection changed to God. Ok we're not talking about songs like My Hump of course. (Those aren't considered music in the first place) I find it slightly disturbing when I hear a song that would probably sound like it's coming from BoysIIMen rather than from the worship leader on stage. It all becomes a performance and it really makes me feel uncomfortable. Sometimes I can't say for sure why I don't feel right when I hear these hillsongs/new age christian songs, it's just feels weird that religion has turned into something so mainstream looking, just like how people don the cross for fun. Remember the recent booboo made by Topshop? They started selling products which were pretty funny yet offensive at the same time. Go read the newspapers la.

Anyways, give this song a listen. I think it's a brilliant song, but as I said, because it's one of those modern Christian songs, it's feels weird.
