Goodnight moon

2011-08-17T12:26:00.001+08:00

And don’t go to bed yet love, I think it’s too early
And we just need a little time to ourselves
If my wall clock tells me that it's 4 in the morning I'll give it hell

Cause I’ve been trying way too long
To try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn’t have to bear alone

So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you

The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon

And sing for me softly love your song for tomorrow
And tell my names the one that’s hidden in there somewhere
And dream for me anything
But dream it in color about when all the suns still rising and we don’t care

Cause I’ve been trying way too long
To try and be the perfect song
When our hearts are heavy burdens
We shouldn’t have to bear alone

So goodnight you and goodnight moon
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you

The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon
From goodnight moon

And there you were
As I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air
Just feel her lips lock on to every breath I take, can't breathe it in
Do you feel us falling? Cause I feel us falling.

So goodnight moon and goodnight you
When you’re all that I think about
All that I dream about
How’d I ever breathe without
A goodnight kiss from goodnight you

The kind of hope they all talk about
The kind of feeling we sing about
Sit in our bedroom and read aloud
Like a passage from goodnight moon (whoa)
Oh goodnight moon (whoa-oh-oh)

And there you were
I saw my Juliet come graceful down the stairs
It's hard to miss the way her eyes light up the room and steal the air
Do you feel us falling? Cause I can feel us falling.

Terrible Things =')

2011-08-03T03:48:00.001+08:00

By the time I was your age, I'd give anything
To fall in love truly, was all I could think
That's when I met your mother, the girl of my dreams
The most beautiful woman, that I'd ever seen

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I can't help but notice, you're staring at me.
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me"

Now son, I'm only telling you this...
Because life, can do terrible things

Now most of the time, we'd had too much to drink
And we'd laugh at the stars and we'd share everything
Too young to notice, and too dumb to care
Love was a story, that couldn't compare

I said, "Girl, can I tell you a wonderful thing?
I made you a present with paper and string.
Open with care now, I'm asking you, please.
You know that I love you, will you marry me?"

Now son, I'm only telling you this...
Because life, can do terrible things
You'll learn, one day, I'll hope and I'll pray
That God, shows you differently

She said, "Boy can I tell you, a terrible thing?
It seems that I'm sick and I've only got weeks.
Please, don't be sad now, I really believe
You were the greatest thing that ever happened to me"

Slow, so slow
I fell to the ground, on my knees

So don't fall in love, there's just too much to lose
If given the choice, then, I'm begging you, choose
To walk away, walk away, don't let her get you.
I can't bear to see the same happen to you.

Now son, I'm only telling you this...
...Because life, can do terrible things

“Love
Will not betray you
Dismay or enslave you
It will set you free
Be more like the man
You were made to be

There is a design
An alignment
A cry of my heart
to see
The beauty of love
As it was made to be”

— Mumford and Sons

Holiday

2011-05-17T21:42:00.002+08:00

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
No one could hold me down
No one could keep me around
Now it's your turn, take a shot
Baby show me everything that you got
Maybe you can keep me alive
Maybe you can get in my mind
But it's only a matter of time

Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

My father, he was always wise
As wise as an elephant's eyes
He couldn't hold me down
He couldn't keep me around
So are you gonna take your shot?
It's the only one that you got
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
When the lights go dim

You know I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday
(Need to take a holiday)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
And I don't think I'll ever change
I think I'm gonna stay the same

I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday (need to take a holiday)
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase (set off on a new chase)
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

American Love

2011-05-12T03:25:00.000+08:00

You see I got this American Love
A brand new planet in my solar system
I'll kiss her neck but I just can't look her in the eye
You leave for college at the turn of autumn
I spent the winter diving to the bottom
I'll kiss your neck but I just can't look you in the eye
yeaaahh

Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking
(big hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa oh
Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking

You see I got this critical conscience
A brand new black hole in the solar system
I dig my grave but I just cant stand to step inside

And when they find out they'll sound every siren
Break the door down to find the baby crying
You thought I knew Its just not right to tell a lie

Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking
(big hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa oh
Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking

And now there's no turning back
In the face of the sweat we share
There's nowhere to run
You're so unprepared
It's a new heart attack
Brand new bricks on my back
Don't say a word they might find us there

You see I got this American love
A hidden planet in my solar system
Keep your eyes shut I just cant stand to say goodbye

Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking
(big hearts are for breaking)
Whoaa oh
Big hearts big hearts
Big hearts are for breaking

It's all electronic music this few days. being poisoned by an electronic band from Indonesian called Bottlesmoker.

Listening to one of their tracks kicks my inner child into space mode, adding to my collection of electronic bands like IHTP, poster service, electric president and PRP!.

Each of them plays a different vibe of music that can clearly stands out on their own. Except I do really think that their earlier works are better than the newer tracks, (sad fact, but i am no hipster that is condemning them of selling out or something ^__^)

Anyways, i reckon you should stop the player on the right side, and play this video below, close your eyes and fly!

Everybody wants to rule the world

2011-03-27T02:29:00.002+08:00

Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you

Acting on your best behavior
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Everybody wants to rule the world

It's my own design
It's my own remorse
Help me to decide
Help me make the

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while
The walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you

So glad we've almost made it
So sad they had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world

I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world

Say that you'll never, never, never, never need it
One headline, why believe it?
Everybody wants to rule the world

All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world

Lilian's Safari

2011-03-03T12:57:00.004+08:00

* Delta! Delta! - Lilian's Safari

(Delta! Delta! is now called Formulas with a new vocalist. Personally I like the old vocalist better because of the better blending of their voices)

And these voices, voices keep on ringing out in my head, my head
and i just wish they would go away instead of hanging around like they do
and they said, they said that i was taking too many damn friends
but i don’t think that they know, know i know they don’t know, what they're saying
cause they said they said, that i should probably give up, give up
before the going goes and gets too tough but i’ve had of enough of them
i’ve had enough of this

and i've had my fair share and just i don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven't had in all of this
pretend i haven't had in all of this
and i've had my fair share and i just don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven't had in all of this
pretend i haven't had in all of this

and they said, they said that i'm a hypocrite
and i wish, i wish that they would really quit talking,
talking about all of this to my face and the least
they said they said
that they can go away when they want
be too happy to say until i clear my head, until i clear my head

and i've had my fair share and just i don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven't had in all of this
pretend i haven’t had in all of this
and i’ve had my fair share and i just don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven’t had in all of this
pretend i haven’t had in all of this

they couldn’t possibly know what they are asking this time
it’s so different, i'm so far and there’s so many things
left unsaid, left undone,
to the point where nothing's worrying me softly, softly to sleep
out in the different location of mine
and the damage I have caused
-----

and i’ve had my fair share and just i don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven’t had in all of this
pretend i haven’t had in all of this
and i’ve had my fair share and i just don’t think that is fair
to pretend i haven’t had in all of this
when i'm the one who's had it all this time

Don't talk to strangers

2011-03-02T00:26:00.001+08:00

She was a bottle blonde
She had her sevens on
When I think about it now
Just a cougar on the prowl
She was hotter than hell
Had me under a spell
Got the ass doing yoga
Didn't care that she's older
Got off the stage
Ended up at her place
We were burning up the bed
Fire needed to be fed
Morning sun hit her face
Maggie May showed her age
I remembered what my mamma said

Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said

She likes them nice and young
She likes them fresh and hungry
With fire in her eyes
Let you try her on for size
Show you a trick or two
Teach you something new
Full of Bacardi and Botox
Almost 40 and so hot
but the light of the day
Has something different to say
My head started to spin
When I saw her son walking in
I bet he felt like a fool,
Cause I knew him from school
I remembered what my mamma said

Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
And my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said

(4x)
Hey pretty lady it's crazy you're almost twice my age
I want to dance on your body like I shake it on stage

Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Don't do all the thinking with your little head
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
and my mamma said
Don't talk to strangers
Don't talk to strangers
Just wrap it up so you don't wind up dead
Like mamma said
Like mamma said
My mamma said

You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked. [second song might be a lil loud]

2011-02-26T04:00:00.006+08:00

This is for keeps by The Spill Canvas
The streets are dark, my pulse is flat-lined
as I'm running to you
You sit completely unaware of what I'm about to do
The air is thick with tension much like when we are together
My fangs are aching as I'm pondering about you and I forever

As I round your corner
I am nervous that you won't be my lover
I knock three times and hope that my pale complexion won't blow my cover
You answer the door with your innocent face
Would you like to leave this human race, tonight?

Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we'll live our infallible love

My brain is pumping an unusual secretion of lust
Your eyes are softer now
and your chin, it drips a bloody color of rust
I am raising up the stakes of this round, I am playing for keeps
Oh, would you like to leave this human race, tonight?

Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we'll live our infallible love

Follow me into the sea
We'll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town
We're both better than this, it's not worth being down

Eternity will never be enough for me
and eternally we'll live our infallible love

Follow me into the sea
We'll drown together and immortalize you and me
Leave behind this lonely town (eternally)
We're both better than this, it's not worth being down (eternally)

Playing for keeps by Matchbook Romance

It's so simple and complicated.
The way you can crush me.
No matter how much this hurts, this is through.
I get as far as your door before i get caught.
I make up excuses just to touch you and I can't stop, I can't stop.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You're so good at pretending everything is alright.
You're as welcome as cancer, but my door is always unlocked.

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?

You're so good
You're so good
You're so good
You're so good

So are we playing for keeps.
These days begin and they don't end for weeks.
Leave me left out of anything to do with you.
Excuse me while I fall apart.
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart.
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car.
Do you have to make this so hard?
[x2]

You're so good

Runner Runner - So obvious

2011-02-23T04:55:00.001+08:00

Runner Runner

Go!
Let's go, go!
Go!
Let's go, go!

I need you here
But you're always so far away
I call you up
But you know it's just never the same
'Cause being closer to you
Is my sweetest escape
It's all I needed
I need you here
But you're always so far away

This is our night
The look in your eyes
Says we can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, I'm broken inside
I want you to take my breath away
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)

Just might go tonight
We're so close tonight

I need you here
But you're out there on your own
Do you still look like the pictures in my telephone?
Hiding out in your room, we could be alone
Laughing out loud
You need me here
But I'm always so far away

This is our night
The look in your eyes
Says we can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, I'm broken inside
I want you to take my breath away
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)

Just might go tonight
We're so close tonight
Just let go tonight
We're so close tonight

This is our night
Look in my eyes
We can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, broken inside
And take my breath away

This is our night
The look in your eyes
Says we can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, I'm broken inside
I want you to take my breath away
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)

Just might go tonight
(It's obvious that my heart beats for you)
We're so close tonight
Just might go tonight
(It's obvious that my heart beats for you)
We're so close tonight

This is our night
(It's obvious that my heart beats for you)
The look in your eyes says we can go all the way
I'm losing my mind, broken inside
(It's obvious that my heart beats for you)
I want you to take my breath away
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
It's obvious that my heart beats for you
(Beats for you, beats for you)
It's obvious that my heart beats for you

Lights - Savior

2011-02-23T04:33:00.003+08:00

The night is deafening when the silence is listening
And I'm down on my knees, and I know that something is missing
Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in
But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them

I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan it
'Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic
Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it
Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting it?

I don't want to know

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour, I'll need a saviour

It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same
I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained
And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing else to hold
You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting harder to let it go

I don't want to know

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains, and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
Free my hands and feet and maybe I won't always fall...
Save me

I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
I just want to run to you
And break off the chains and throw them away
I just want to be so much
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
Sooner than later, I'll need a saviour
I'll need a saviour

For You, and Your Denial - Yellowcard

2011-01-31T00:38:00.003+08:00

Finally, Yellowcard is out with a new single, after the long hiatus between 2008-2010,
they're in the process of getting a new record out in March 2011, i'm excited =D
This song show some hints of their Ocean Avenue roots, particularly their Way Away single. Except they are using lesser effects from their instruments. Other than that there's the distinct violin and crunching riffs. Longinue's drumming could be better, perhaps they're holding back better songs in the album. Here's the single playing on the right.

4 am; you call to spit some fire out
Did you think that I would listen to you now?
It's nothing new, so get in line with all the rest
And I will wait till you realize you're out of breath

Can you hear the crowd?
They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down
(Break down)
Hate me all you want; I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now
(Go now)

You've got sadness twisted up with jealousy
You show your fists to make them look like loyalty
And I have seen what holding on can take away
If it's the past you love, then that's where you can stay

Can you hear the crowd?
They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down
(Break down)
Hate me all you want; I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now
(Go now)
Go now
(Go now)

Desperation kills
When it's on your sleeve, you wear it well
Underneath it all
You'll always have this war inside yourself

I'm letting you go now
(Go now)

Can you hear the crowd?
They all go wild
For you and your denial
They're watching you break down
(Break down)
Hate me all you want; I'll be okay
I'm half the world away
I'm letting you go now
(Go now)
Go now
(Go now)
I'm letting you go now
(Go now)
Go now
(Go now)

Good Charlotte - Cardiology

2010-12-01T22:00:00.000+08:00

The heart is a vessel that can carry you far away
Further than you ever gone before

It could swallow an ocean in the palm of your hand
But only if you open up that door

Cardiology is guiding you and me
Through ancient history
A new technology
Cardiology is a mystery

Is there a formula that could possibly explain
What can feel so good bring you so much pain

Science is no help when we reach the day
We face the truth that love can slip away

Cardiology is guiding you and me
Through ancient history
A new technology
Cardiology is a mystery

Take apart this heart tell me where to start
No book that I can find has the answer
A medicine can't cure the fact that I'm still yours
Even though you've gone on without me

Cardiology is guiding you and me
Through ancient history
A new technology
Cardiology is a mystery

Hedley - Perfect

2010-08-01T23:21:00.001+08:00

Falling a thousand feet per second
You still take me by surprise
I just know we can't be over
I can see it in your eyes
Making every kind of silence
Takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish than to start all over
And never let it lie

And as long as I can feel you holding on
I wont fall
Even if you said I was wrong

I'm not perfect,
But I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely,
So please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

Making every kind of silence,
It takes a lot to realize
Its worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie
And as long as I can feel you holding on

But I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely,
So please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?

When you're caught in a lie
And you've got nothing to hide
When you've got nowhere to run
And you've got nothing inside
It tears right through me
You thought that you knew me
You thought that you knew

I know that I'm not perfect,
But I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely,
So please don't leave
Was it something I said or just my personality?
I know that I'm not perfect,
But I keep trying
Cause that's what I said I would do from the start
I'm not alive if I'm lonely,
So please don't leave

Self, just my self
Myself, just myself

キミモノガタリ - little by little

2010-08-01T23:18:00.003+08:00

届け　届け　遠くへ
今を起死回生　涙　預けて
この扉の向こうに
まだ見ぬ明日が　訪れるから
はじまれ
長い　長い　キミモノガタリ

失くして　気づいて
叫んで　もがいてた日々が
この道の少し先を
また照らしてる

涙って涙って
嬉しいときに流したい
綺麗な水たまり
浮かべたいのは何？

南の空に瞬いている
星の数ほどの出会いから
愛を学んだり　地図をもらったり
つながってく

届け　届け　遠くへ
今を起死回生　涙　預けて
この扉の向こうに
まだ見ぬ明日が　訪れるから
はじまれ
長い　長い　キミモノガタリ

さよならと手を振った
あの娘は一度も後ろを
振り返らずに
人波のまれて消えた

心のレンズを曇らせるのは
自分がついてたため息さ
まばたきさえも惜しい場面を
なくしてた

届け　届け　遠くへ
今を起死回生　涙　預けて
乾く風の中でも
ボクらは枯れない泉になって
はじまれ
長い　長い　キミモノガタリ

そう　ひとりじゃ何も出来ないよ
でも　自分にがっかりしないで
ほら　キミのエンジンは静かに灯りがともりだす
今夜　待つのも待たせることも
得意じゃないから奪いにゆく
そんなキミは間違いじゃないさ

届け　届け　遠くへ
今を起死回生　涙　預けて
いつかめくるページに
きっとたくさんの人が溢れる
はじまれ
長い　長い　キミモノガタリ

ここからはじまれ
ひとつだけのキミモノガタリ

Fed up

AM Taxi - Fed Up

Hey!

Nikki had the wildest of hearts,
And a story that'll tear you apart.
She’s got her father’s eyes and his credit card.
Nikki had the wildest of hearts.

Living in the town was a drag,
The more you shrunk the more you sank.
She said we may as well sleep in body bags,
Living in the town was a drag.

(ooooh na-na-na)
There was trouble waiting to begin,
Pressure rising up again.
There was a bad idea at an ATM,
There was trouble waiting to begin.

We climb to the roof to watch the drag race sunset,
Neath the power lines.
It’s car’s first, it’s dust tonight,
Before the vampires come alive.

She’s screaming

Chorus
Wake up, is anyone else getting fed up?
Holding out for the wishing well,
To pull us from the wreck.
Stand up, stand up,
We won’t be the faded ones.
Another silhouette,
Is anyone else getting sick?
(whoaaaaa)

We were doused and ready to ignite.
Out on the time bomb summer night.
We were hooked by then to the other side,
Waiting to ignite.

(ooooh na-na-na)
There was trouble waiting to begin,
We were radiating heat again.
There was some bad ideas at the ATM.
There’s no chance for recovering.

She’s screaming,

Chorus
Wake up, is anyone else getting fed up?
Holding out for the wishing well,
To pull us from the wreck.
Stand up, stand up,
We’ll be the faded ones.
Another silhouette,
Is anyone else getting sick?

Solo

We were raised in the good ole ways on the newest lies.
Fast talk, cable box, fossilized.
And Nicole said nights like this
There’s not a pulse in this ghost town.
Now the power has burned up
And the trapping got closed down.

We climb to the roof to watch the drag race sunset,
Neath the power lines.
It’s car’s first, it’s dust tonight,
Before the vampires come alive.

She’s screaming,

Chorus
Wake up, is anyone else getting fed up?
Holding out for the wishing well,
To pull us from the wreck.
Stand up, stand up,
We’ll be the faded ones.
Another silhouette,
Is anyone else getting sick?

Here's looking at you, Kid. - The Gaslight Anthem

2010-06-09T00:49:00.002+08:00

You can tell Gayle, if she calls, that I'm famous now for all of these rock and roll songs.
And even if that's a lie, she should've given me a try.
When were kids on the field of the first day of school.
I would've been her fool.
And I would've sang out her name in those old high school halls.
You tell that to Gayle, if she calls.

And you can tell Jane, if she writes, that I'm drunk off all these stars and all these crazy hollywood nights.
That's total deceit, but she should've married me.
And tell her I spent every night of my youth on the floor, bleeding out from all these wounds.
I would've gotten her a ride out of that town she despised.
You tell that to Janey, if she writes.

But boys will be boys and girls have those eyes that will cut you to ribbons sometimes.
And all you can do is just wait by the moon and bleed if it's what she says you oughta do.

You remind Nana, if she asks why, that a thief stole my heart while she was making up her mind.
I heard she lives in Brooklyn with the cool, goes crazy over that New York scene on 7th Avenue.
But I used to wait at the diner, a million nights without her, praying she won't cancel again tonight.
And the waiter served my coffee with a consolation sigh.
You remind Nana, if she asks why.

You know it's hard to tell you this.
Oh it's hard to tell you this.
Here's looking at you, Kid.

She's got dementia

2010-06-06T00:49:00.000+08:00

Is it harder to admit you're wrong
When you've known it was the truth all along?
You make it seem like you're dying somehow
I believe you and suddenly I'm scared

You know its been a couple weeks now
You know you really better lay down
'cause you don't wanna get sick again

When its hard to breathe
you feel your body tingling
do your best to just stay sane
Stay right by her side
and never let her close her eyes
you want her to remain within her mind
She's got dementia

She's sticking by her made up story
that'll never happen to me
Cars will only crash occasionally
Its a game of odds you see
every one in a million
There is something that will make you look again
I'll be the end of you

You know its been a couple weeks now
you know you really better lay down
cause you don't wanna get sick again

When its hard to breathe
you feel your body tingling
do your best to just stay sane
Stay right by her side
and never let her close her eyes
you want her to remain within her mind
She's got dementia

So take a moment to step aside
and realize whats wrong
These things you'll have to make it through
They're going to be hard for you

When its hard to breathe
You feel your body tingling
Do your best to just stay sane
stay right by her side
and never let her close her eyes
You want her to remain within her mind
She's got dementia

Welcome to Holy Wood

2010-05-29T22:50:00.002+08:00

(as interpreted by me)

Do you believe in life?
Do you mean it when you live it?
We let the light lean in on our bodies
This skin, this sack of dung and joy
There's no face, not anymore, but that's the way to die to the sound
When the music becomes flesh, then we, we become music.
And now we give you a chance, are you ready to breath in?
Now open your eyes!

(Make thought talk!) //Mad top dogs
I was living to fight on
(We're making out the difference!)
We're making out the difference
(We may fail it just for you!)

Help me, punch me to make it real
I was fighting your armor in tongues
I've lost my control the moment i heard you say
Nothing last, nothing last
And everything was taking over me but I know I'm in the clear
(Clap your bloody hands!)
leave your tears alone right in the front of the entrance

I will make it right tonight
Everybody knows what you're feeling like
Living in holy wood,
Living in holy wood, ah
Living in holy wood
Living in holy wood

Let me now wash your soul and spread your eyes
Everybody knows what you're feeling like
Living in holy wood
Living in holy wood, ah
Living in holy wood
Living in holy wood
And that will make you cry

One wish ma'am please bite your tongue
My dead money won't cry out today
To fight tooth and nail,
it's useless when you just say:
Nothing last, nothing last
And everything was taking over me but I know I'm in the clear
(Clap your bloody hands!)
Leave me on the floor with a good punch on the front door

Stopping your beating down here
I need a cure just to stay,
cause everyone was looking in my portrait

(Pillow, pillow, tell me where you belong)
(Pillow, pillow, tell me where you belong)

Cause this is how the story ends
when you cry all the way
With a pillow in your hands
and a mess on Myspace!

Get down! Get down!

Calm

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are

If this is what you think is honest
Honestly, I think I'm gonna freak out
This isn't where I wanna be, wanna be
I think I'll let myself out
Show me the door, oh
'Cause I'm leaving the way I came in
With the mess I made
Tonight will be the one to set it off

We had our lights on the town
Your eyes were smiling then
You left me hanging around with all your wack friends
You don't take me serious
Boy, you make me furious
Guaranteed, we'll disagree

I found out finding out isn't the worst part
Don't believe it's just me
And I've found out
Do you really even have a clue?
You're not quite Satan, but I really think I hate you

We had our place in time, this is now that we spend
You've left me high and dry with all your stuck-up friends
You don't take me serious
Girl, you're just delirious
Guaranteed, we'll disagree

I found out finding out isn't the worst part
Don't believe it's just me
And I've found out
Do you really even have a clue?
You're not quite Satan, but I really think I hate you

If this is what you think is honest
Honestly, I think I'm gonna freak out
This isn't where I wanna be, wanna be
I think I'll let myself out
Show me the door, oh
'Cause I'm leaving the way I came in
With the mess I made
Tonight will be the one to set it off
Tonight will be the one

I found out finding out isn't the worst part
Don't believe it's just me
And I've found out
Do you really even have a clue?
You're not quite Satan, but I, I

I found out finding out isn't the worst part
Don't believe it's just me
And I've found out
Do you even fucking have a clue?
You're not quite Satan, but I really think I hate you
You're not quite Satan, but I
You're not quite Satan, but I really think I hate you

Didn't see this one coming didcha?

Fastest layout overhaul ever.
Presenting PB3 made with 100% cotton. =D
Looking good, it was a breeze getting the design up and running.
The hardest part was importing my old widgets in.
I still feel generic, still needs a little more personalization.
Before starting, i backed everything up first just in case, including the blog rolls.
Noticed some people have "disappeared" and some have locked up their blogs.
Oh wells, time to move on.

Boys will be boys - Love Affair
This night is endless,
the sky is falling down on us
and you stay lying next to me
I’m troubled with this stupid fling,
cause you’re nothing short of my everything so wait
I’m all you got and you know its true,
love is written all over you
and you still try to survive
My Haley girl will make this right

(Just say this love affair will never end tonight)...

Its been two weeks and now we’re sober dear,
the worst part is now over
And there’s nothing left to fear,
I can get my life together
I’m not afraid of death,
I could sleep forever,
you’re in my dreams stay with me here tonight

Just say this love affair will never end (x2)...

With the fire in our eyes it came to my surprise,
I felt deep inside that something wasn’t right
We disappeared like ghosts when you snuck into my heart
You looked me in my eyes and said we can make this right...

Just say this love affair will never end (x4)...

This night is endless
the sky is falling down on us
and you stay lying next to me...

Hey there
I know it's hard to feel like I don't care at all
Where you are and how you feel
With these lights off as these wheels
keep rolling on and on (and on and on and on)
Slow things down or speed them up
Not enough or way too much (and on and on and on)
How are you when I'm gone?

And I can't make it on my own
(and I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone

Spare me just three last words
"I love you" is all she heard
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever

Spare me just three last words
"I love you" is all she heard
I'll wait for you, but I can't wait forever

And I can't make it on my own
(and I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone

So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(my final breath is gone)
So I can fall asleep tonight

And I can't make it on my own
(and I can't make it on my own)
Because my heart is in Ohio
So cut my wrists and black my eyes
(cut my wrists and black my eyes)
So I can fall asleep tonight or die
Because you kill me
You know you do, you kill me well
You like it too, and I can tell
You never stop until my final breath is gone

CrashCarBurn - Serenade

2010-02-17T10:57:00.003+08:00

By the time this reaches you

We will be a pale gray memory

Of everything I once loved

A still cold heart,

That won’t stop beating.

And by the time you wake up

Bitter, and alone

With nothing but your chemicals

To keep you awake all night

I will be galaxies from here

But I’ll still miss you

So my dear,

Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight

Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide

Serenade you for the last time.

Well this is more than I deserve

And I know

That I am nothing more

Than a trophy that lost its shine

Your perfect prize

Was just a person after all

And as I watch the ocean swallow up the sun

To set these waves on fire

Will open the sky for us

So I can finally get away

So I can finally find a place where I can be free

(serenade)

Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight

Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide

Serenade you for the last time.

Serenade, I’m breaking the silence tonight

Serenade, you’re hoping the feeling will die

Serenade you for the last time.

So take your leave,

I’ll take my time

Your lips are shaking

And your eyes, they are afraid to meet mine

How fast you break from who you are

The part of me you loved

Is now the hand that rips us apart

Go change your face,

Go change your heart

Go find your place

And put an end to this all

And when you find

You’re back where you began

There will be nothing left

There will be nothing left

So just remember that this

Is how you wanted it

Now just remember

It’s exactly how you wanted it all

Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight

Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide

Serenade you for the last time.

Serenade, I’m ending this story tonight

And you, you will be sleeping with your demons and lies

Serenade you for the last time

HAPPY CNY PEOPLE. BRB, BALIK KAMPUNG-ING.

Getting out of college II: Step 3

2010-02-10T01:22:00.001+08:00

Sup peoples, it's the Barnacles.
So yesterday was the first day for a 7 weeks course in my program.
Did not sleep well the day before, managed to catch like a 2 hours of sleep before having to wake up.

Did not catch the bus, so i walked to the station, reached college 30 minutes before class starts.

I must say the new ANC lecturer has different methods of teaching, i find it better to stick with the tried and tested methods in my previous classes, but with switches instead of routers now. CCNA is such a pain. XD

Oh wells, the total subject for this semester is 3. But 7 weeks is such a short short time. So everything needs to be absorbed before we even hit the end of March.. Yay.
The other two subjects are Moral dan Etika, and also Project Preparation for our final year project. I have a feeling that we will only be sitting for one subject, which means 2 papers for me since i'm taking the U of Campbell degree program, alongside TARC's Advance Diploma.

Oh, a new header you see? That's me playing around with a point and shoot digicamera, messing with the shuttle timings and some heavy postprocessing in photoshop. I think I'm just gonna enlarge it a bit more just to fill up the sides.

So yeah, that's about it.

Stinson out. ;D

This is not a dead blog, never count me out just yet
And this is my first post of 2010, yay me.
As much as i wanted to tell the world of my recent undertakings,
many interesting tasks have eluded me of my interest in updating my journals or even read other blogs.

Oh wells, at this point, after taking my last 2 papers on the 25 of Jan.
I'm having one of my short-lived semester breaks as we only have 2 weeks to unwind.
But then, we're considered to be lucky enough because there's 2 other computer science courses are required to start on the 2nd of Feb, my course and a few others will start on the 8th of Feb set by the college.

Why are we having college a week before CNY? This is because the advance diploma courses need to be on track towards April which is the industry training period.
We only have like a day or two to rest before training starts.
Besides that, it is also to make sure after the program ended,
students who wants to go for the summer program could finish the program before going to the UK in May of 2011.
So yeah, after the CNY break, we'll practically won't have any other holidays to chill until we graduate. Sounds like a plan to me. =3
There's this saying that goes, 'work hard, play harder' and i'm gonna do just that.

Oh wells, can i rant off more, or regularly the next time i step into my blog again? Only time will tell. hahahaha.

Marianas Trench - Beside You

2009-12-27T01:42:00.000+08:00

When your tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.
When it's in your spine like you've walked for miles
And the only thing you want is just to be still for a while

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath
Where the space between the things you know is blurry nonetheless.
When you try to speak but you make no sound
And the words you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
I'll be right beside you

I will stay.
Nobody will break you,
Yeah.

Trust in me, trust in me.
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me.
I'm just trying to keep this together, because I could do worse and you could do better

Tears are spent on your last pretense
And your tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense.

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you

If your heart wears thin I will hold you up
And I will hide you when it gets too much
I'll be right beside you
Nobody will break you.

AAR - Move along

2009-11-22T17:24:00.001+08:00

Go ahead as you waste your days with thinking
When you fall everyone stands
Another day and you've had your fill of sinking
With the life held in your
Hands are shaking cold
These hands are meant to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
Move along

So a day when you've lost yourself completely
Could be a night when your life ends
Such a heart that will lead you to deceiving
All the pain held in your
Hands are shaking cold
Your hands are mine to hold

Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
Move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)

When everything is wrong, we move along
(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
When everything is wrong, we move along
Along, along, along

When all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through
[x3]

(Go on, go on, go on, go on)
Right back what is wrong
We move along
[fade out]

Lacuna Coil - Daylight Dancer

2009-10-28T11:59:00.000+08:00

taking a song from my younger days, when i was around form 3 to be exact xD
Was searching around for bands that sounds like Evanescence, and so I stumbled onto Lacuna Coil.

Answer me, it can't be so hard
Cry to relieve what's in your heart
Desolation, grief and agony

Trying to move
down in this grave
Trying to believe in every faith
As another bridge to clarity

Want to stay another way
(Want to stay another way)
Want to stay another way
(Want to stay another way)

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it

Dance with me,
it can't be so hard
Time to reveal
what's in your heart
Desolation
grief and agony

Walking through a life decayed
while you're repeating
your mistakes
There's another chance
to try to get away

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it

Want to stay another way
Want to stay another way

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it

Take another chance
to find a distant sanity
and turn your pain in truth
Take another chance
to fight a different enemy
and try to free it

"Space"

Home, is this the quiet place where you should be alone?
Is this where the tortured and the troubled find their own?
I don't know, but I can tell this isn't you, your cover's blown
Oh no, don't you dare hang up this phone

Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me

In this place
The lonely escapade in outer space
There's no antidote for irony you say
that you have, when you know that you don't
and you say, that you can, when you know that you won't

Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
Hey, give me space but I can't breathe
Give me space but I can't sleep
Give me just one inch I swear that's all I'll need

These padded walls and TV screens
Sometimes they make me want to scream

Hey, give me space so I can breathe
Give me space so I can sleep
Give me space so you can drown in this with me
Hey, give me space but I can't breathe
Give me space but I can't sleep
Give me just one inch I swear that's all I'll need

Sway Your Head performed by We Shot The Moon

2009-09-26T14:08:00.001+08:00

Sway your head
Move your feet
Wake yourself from the sleep
If theres a day, theres a way
You can get yourself there
Golden smile, you got style
That they can't take away

Scream and shout, get it out
Before it swallows you
No surprise in these times
How it really gets through
All the walks and the thoughts
But can you break through?

You're alive
So alive
Now c'mon

You gotta pull yourself back together
Give it one more shot
Its now or never
With the new day falling for you
You gotta believe
(Woah)

Build a plan, yes you can
You've got nothing to lose
Look around, up and down
What are you gonna choose?
Can you see the sunrise
That came up for you

You're alive
So alive
Now c'mon

You gotta pull yourself back together
Give it one more shot
Its now or never
With the new day calling for you
You gotta believe
(Woah)

You gotta pull yourself, back in the water
Take in one deep breath
You're getting closer
After all you've talked and seen
You gotta believe
(Woah)

I think its coming back
I think its coming back
I think its coming back to me
(x2)

Now I, I feel I'm getting better
Now I, my world is getting better

You gotta pull yourself back together
Give it one more shot
Its now or never
With the new day falling for you
You gotta believe
(Woah)

You gotta pull yourself, back in the water
Take in one deep breath
You're getting closer
After all you've talked and seen
You gotta believe
(Woah)

No matter how hard the tension is on your shoulders,
the price of redemption for us makes all the difference.
No matter how hard you fell or how far you strayed,
know that He'll welcome you back with open arms.

fun. - Be Calm

2009-09-12T12:19:00.005+08:00

As I walk through the streets of my new city
my back feeling much better, I suppose
I've reclaimed the use of my imagination.
for better or for worse, I've yet to know
but I always knew you'd be the one to understand me,
I guess that's why it took so long to get things right.
Suddenly I'm lost
On my street
On my block

Oh why? Oh why?
Oh why haven't you been there for me?
Can't you see, I'm losing my mind this time?
This time it's for real, I can see
all the treetops turning red
The beggars near bodega's grin at me
I think they want something
I close my eyes, I tell myself to breathe

and be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes.
Be calm.

I'm scared that everyone is out to get me.
"These days before you speak to me you pause."
"I always see you looking out your window."
"After all, you lost your band, you left your mom."
Every single crack, every penny that I pass,
says I should either leave or pick it up.
But with every single buck I've made
I'm saddled with bad luck that came

the moment I was baptized
or when I found out one day I'm gonna die
if only I could find my people or my place in life
and when they come a'carolin'
so loud, so bright, the theremin
will lead us to a chorus
where we'll all rejoice and sing a song that goes:

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your heart as it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

I don't remember much that night,
Just walking, thinking fondly of you
Thinking how the worst is yet to come
When from that street corner came a song
And I can't remember the man,
the band who wrote his melody
The words exchanged had far exceeded any change I'd given thee.

Skillet - Yours To Hold

2009-09-08T16:09:00.001+08:00

I see you standing here
But you're so far away
Starving for your attention
You don't even know my name

You're going through so much
But I know that I could be the one to hold you

[Chorus:]
Every single day
I find it hard to say
I could be yours alone
You will see someday
That all along the way
I was yours to hold
I was yours to hold
I see you walking by
Your hair always hiding your face
I wonder why you've been hurting
I wish I had some way to say

You're going through so much
Don't you know that I will be the one to hold you

[Bridge:]
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
You should know
I'm ready when you're ready for me
And I'm waiting for the right time
For the day I catch your eye
To let you know
That I'm yours to hold

[Altro:]
I'm stretching but you're just out of reach
I'm ready when you're ready for me

Boys Like Girls - Thunder (acoustic)

2009-09-03T04:06:00.001+08:00

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa
Today in the blink of an eye I'm holding on to something and I do not know why
I tried

I tried to read between the lines
I tried to look in your eyes
I want a simple explanation
For what I'm feeling inside
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road
Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know
Whoa
Today I'm on my own
I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone
I don't know

And now I'm itching for the tall grass
And longing for the breeze
I need to step outside
Just to see if I can breathe
I gotta find a way out
Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope
I'm wrapped up in vines
I think we'll make it out
But you just gotta give me time
Strike me down with lightning
Let me feel you in my veins
I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go
Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder, and I said
Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors
I don't wanna ever love another
You'll always be my thunder

And I said
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?
You'll always be my thunder
So bring on the rain
Oh baby bring on the pain
And listen to the thunder

Jack's Mannequin - Swim

2009-07-26T19:27:00.002+08:00

http://www.myspace.com/jacksmannequin

You've gotta swim
Swim for your life
Swim for the music
That saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim
And swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far
To fall off the earth
The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
A crack in the armor
I swim to brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Through nights that won't end
Swim for your families
Your lovers your sisters
And brothers and friends
Yeah you've gotta swim
Through wars without cause
Swim for the lost politicians
Who don't see their greed as a flaw

The currents will pull us
Away from our love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave
Begging to tear down the dawn
Memories like bullets
They fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim for brighter days
Despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water
I'm not giving in
Well I'm not giving in
I swim

You gotta swim
Swim in the dark
There's no shame in drifting
Feel the tide shifting and wait for the spark
Yeah you've gotta swim
Don't let yourself sink
Just find the horizon
I promise you it's not as far as you think
The currents will drag us away from our love
Just keep your head above
Just keep your head above
Swim
Just keep your head above
Swim, swim
Just keep your head above
Swim

RIP: Ming Zhen, Ji Pi and Mei Fong

2009-07-12T23:08:00.004+08:00

This news came so suddenly.
It was just 2 days ago, after my Friday's dinner, i was surprised that Pang Jian my buddy suddenly nudged me on MSN, he told me that a friend of ours passed away in a car accident. There were two more passenger who were with him. Another guy and a girl, Ji Pi and Mei Fong. Ah Pang told me that both passengers were sent to the hospital.

At that point, the full details of the accident were unknown, all three are from my batch of friends. I hung out with the guys just a few months earlier, and i visited Mei Fong during CNY.

Then an hour later, Kar Ling messaged me that the girl passed away too. I was utterly shocked. I wanted to know that if the third passenger survived, but there's no one to confirm till the next day.

Saturday came, I received a call from Ah Huat, he said that the third person passed on too. This was the worst news ever. 3 lives gone in one night.

They were on the way back from a wedding dinner, both guys were drunk, apparently the girl offered to drive. But Ming Zhen insisted to drive, they decided to have supper before heading home. At the railway bridge, Ming Zhen overtook 4 cars, and lost control of the car, it slammed into a tree. Both guys died on the spot, and she was dead on arrival at the hospital. And that's how it happened.

What can we learn from this lesson? Don't let your friend drive if they're drunk, life is too precious to be wasted like that.

Thoughts before me - Amber Pacific

2009-07-10T00:58:00.001+08:00

So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?

It's starting to get old
That story that untold
Reflect before we walk into
What we already know
Won't be so easy
Looking back at high school drama
Didn't try to fix what we thought were problems
Someone's writing empty letters
Is there no other way?

Staring at your reflection every day
Can make or break my heart away
When you won't listen to what's hard for me to say
Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we're further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It's just not enough
When we're so much more than friends
We're much too young to throw away our cares

There's no sense in regretting what's been said in our yesterdays
We're getting backwards double
We can look ahead
And I would walk so much further just to know what I'm doing here
And there's no end to what I'd give to know just what you meant when you said
How can I feel alive when we can't help but break our backs just to survive?
Is this another time we can't control our lives?

Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we're further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It's just not enough
When we're so much more than friends
We're much too young to throw away our cares

How can I feel alive when we can't help but break our backs just to survive?
Is this another time we can't control our lives?

Those tear stained eyes can make me feel so sad
And once again we're further away from what we never had

So why should I take your hand when you can't promise happy endings?
Just run away with so much left to share
It's just not enough
When we're so much more than friends
We're much too young to throw away our cares

This Broken Heart - Something Corporate

2009-07-10T00:14:00.003+08:00

you woke up in pieces
from making these changes
and holding me ransom,
wont write you an anthem.
on the outside, I'm trying,
cause inside, I'm dying...

this broken heart was stronger then
now I cant stand to part with this
this broken heart...

you took me for granted
now I'm changed, you haven't
it wont be so easy to sell me this feeling

this broken heart was stronger than
the words i never wish you meant
this broken heart...

can't make this right, you can see on my face,
that I'm not gonna be alright, not tonight,
you can read all my letters,
but that wont mean things are fine,
not this time,
cause you gave away all the secrets of you and I

this broken heart was stronger then,
now I cant stand to part with this
this broken heart was stronger than
the words I wish you never meant
this broken heart...

The Unavoidable Battle Of Feeling On The Outside - Fm Static

2009-07-06T01:07:00.002+08:00

It's hard to fit in,
When you're on the outside,
Feels like someone's getting to my head,
Was it somethin' I did, or just somethin' I said?
I'm not an idiot, but I feel like one a lot,
'Cause every time I try I end up here,
Right where I started, just feelin' unguarded

I don't care if it comes out perfect,
As long as I can spit it out

Then He said
Take your time, take what you need to,
Peace of mind, should never leave you,
You'll be fine, just let them see you,
On The Inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of,
What you got, show them what ya made of,
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!

It's hard to get up,
When you don't feel like movin',
It's hard to lift your head up,
Sometimes, 'cause it feels like it's lastin',
But it's gonna pass
I'm not an alien,
But I feel like one a lot,
'Cause every time I try, I end up here,
Just floatin' in space,
With that look on my face

I don't care if it comes out perfect,
As long as I can spit it out

Then He said
Take your time, take what you need to,
Peace of mind, should never leave you,
You'll be fine, just let them see you,
On The Inside
Hurt takes time, don't be afraid of,
What you got, show them what ya made of,
You will find, it's gonna be alright
So let's go!

Is there no truth in beauty? - Just Surrender

2009-06-29T01:17:00.000+08:00

This is how it's been
This is how it will be
And when you wake up with him
Remember when it was me

And I'll always will be waiting for you
And I know that you will never see

That I can't break away from these chains to my heart
The further you push me, the closer you are
Maybe I should try to let go
Maybe I should try to walk away
There's nothing left to say

Do you remember when
You used to laugh there with me?
And now I've become the joke,
A punchline's all I will be,

And I'll always will be waiting for you,
And I know that you will never see,

That I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,

You'll be waiting for the rest of your life,
Just so you can finally be sad,
But words don't mean a thing, but I'll say them anyway,
Anyway, yeah,

I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,

But I can't break away from these chains to my heart,
The further you push me, the closer you are,
Maybe I should try to let go,
Maybe I should try to walk away,
There's nothing left to say,
Cause I can't break away.

Waiting for the beat to kick in - Dan Le Sac VS Scroobius Pip

2009-06-23T23:59:00.005+08:00

When was the last time you listened to some quality hip hop?
Most people will love the beats that the radio are churning out by the dozen these days, because the radio wants you to listen to what they want you to listen.

I gotta admit it, some songs they played are really crappy, as in their lyrical content is 0%, to the overusage of autotune, (autotune - vocal effect that makes you sound like a robot.) and bragging about cash, girls, cars, being shot in the chest, love, sex, drugs, you name it.
Bleh, it's not any of these are bad, 'cept drugs. It's the way hip hop artists write about these things.
But then people don't care about it do they, as long as they enjoy the beats, and that catchy chorus line, you'll get a Top 40 song in the charts.

In comes Scroobius Pip, an English rapper from Essex, East of England. His first big break is from the song "Thou shalt always kill". He raps spoken lyrics over a slew of intelligent beats. Do try to youtube it if this is your cup of tea!

In this track, Scroobius Pip wants to educate the listener a few lessons about the struggles in life. He was taken into a dream where he meets a few characters. Some young, some old, but most importantly they have something important to say to him.
Note: lyrics contains explicit language.

Silently I step up with a subversive subtext,
Trying to feed the need for more than just remedial subjects,
Place my faith in the belief that the general public,
Will open up their minds to more than just an industry puppet,

I ain't a preacher preachin' doom and gloom,
Well not just yet,
But if there's something I feel strongly about,
Then I'll discuss it,
And if I only make one album before I kick the bucket?
I'll hold that album to my heart in my grave and say "FUCK IT"..

Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for my feet to grow wings,
That lift me above,
All of these tiresome things,
That we know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for my feet to grow wings,
That lift me above,
All of these tiresome things,
That we know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does.

A lot of my poems and writings seem to start with me waking up, or being in a dream, or dream like state. Now, this implies a certain level of abstraction in my work.. You might say I'm keeping it surreal but.. I'd rather you didn't. Fact is. I sleep a lot. It's as simple as that. I like sleepin' man. It's a nice place to be.

...Right

I was walking along through unfamiliar streets,
And it felt strange 'cause there didn't seem to be anyone else around.
I don't know where I was but it had a feeling of New York,
But not New York in real life the New York you see in old films,
I can't really explain why it just had that vibe,
Every step I took felt somehow more dramatic.

So I kept walking and down an alley behind a bar sitting on some metal steps I saw a man,
From the look and smell of him it was clear that he enjoyed a drink,
But he wasn't in such a state I felt him to be any kind of irrational threat so I approached him,
With due care..

"Ah Mr Pip" he said out loud,
"We've been awaiting you, my name is Elwood P. Dowd",
Now just what he meant by 'we' I didn't really get,
But all the same I took a seat next to him on the step,
He said "You'll meet a few people before this day is through,
Who will administer advice and guidelines to you,
Now what each of them says I'll tell you now is true,
But whether or not you take this advice is for you to choose",
At that point he acted as if someone had whispered in his ear,
Which, since no one else was there, was pretty damn weird,
Awkwardly I looked away and kinda played with my beard,
And he cleared his throat for a second and said "Listen here,
In this life you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant,
For years I was smart, I recommend pleasant,
Being smart can make you rich and bring respect and reverence,
But the rewards of being pleasant are far more incandescent",

With this information I was encouraged to walk on,
I continued alone through these empty streets,
Thinking over what Elwood had said but at the same time thinking about how fucking strange the day had been so far,
I was in my own little world when a hand was placed on my chest,
And a guy said "Look out, there's some broken glass on the floor there",

I looked up,
He said "Hi, pleased to meet you, my name is Lloyd Dobler,
I'll get straight to the point, won't take too much time from ya,
I'm probably the youngest person you'll get advice from today,
And you may think that a guy my age wouldn't have anything to say,
But it's said that observation, not old age, brings wisdom,
And I observe every single life lesson I'm given,
I won't attempt tell you how to love or be loved,
Because you get a different genie each time that lantern is rubbed,
But I will offer you advice on dealing with life,
Its ups and its downs,
Its troubles and its strifes,
Now I'm sure you've had times when you've felt down or angry,
Wanted to lash out, punch a wall and be manly,
But the question I pose now will offer you a plan B,
And maybe some peace and quiet for your friends and family,
How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood,
And then just be.. in.. a good mood?
That's all I have to say because it's a straight up fact,
You control your emotions it's as simple as that",
He walked off then, leaving me to contemplate this brief encounter,
I'd barely had time to realise I was being taught something before he was gone,
And I was back on my way.

On I walked and almost immediately I spotted the next guide,
And he couldn't be clearer.
This guy was standing on the street corner and pacing back and forth,
Skinny lookin' guy leather jacket tight jeans, retro look,
I'd rarely seen someone look quite so uncomfortable in their own skin,
Twitchin', smoothing his hair back, kicking the floor and looking up and down the street,
He clearly didn't enjoy waiting around so I approached him quickly,
To put him out of his misery,
And to let him start his.. spiel.

"Hi my name is Billy Brown,
I ain't gonna give you some quote,
Instead I'm gonna use some stuff that YOU wrote:
'Always had the feeling I could never be the villain,
Cause the villain in the books is always backlit,
Always had the feeling I could never be the villain,
Cause the villain in the books is always backlit,
Now I find it pleasing to defend myself with reason,
But this clock is always sitting on my back,
tick, tick tick,
Then, no explosion but participants erosion,
Like a picture over overly exposed and,
Like a fox that's been run over in the road and..'
Basically what I'm trying to say to you is,
You don't achieve anything by letting the past rule within you,
Getting all pent up and angry about stuff just eats away inside you,
What's that other line of yours..
'If you can't forgive and forget,
How's this,
Forget forgivin' and just accept that that's it',
See that's how it's gotta be.
Then you can fall in love, get on with your life and be free",
Almost before he could finished this sentence he was off down the street,
Hands in his pockets, hurrying away..

Now quite accepting of the totally surreal time I was having I rounded a corner,
And continued onto my next encounter,
Resigned to the fact this was some dream or hallucination,
I made my way through the now dark street,
To the one window that had a light on,
I walked through the unlocked door which incidentally had blinds down,
And a silhouetted figure like a film noir scene,
But sadly no sign saying Private Eye.
As I entered a voice promptly said..

"This journey's almost over, I'm the only one left,
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Walter Nepp,
The other guys have taught you things of great positive worth,
But I'm afraid I'm here to bring you back down to Earth,
See you can live your life in control and be nice,
But even that will not promise you a happy life,
You may think yourself in general to be a nice guy,
But I'm telling you now - that right there is a lie,
Even the nicest of guys has some nasty within 'em,
You don't have to be backlit to be the villain,
Whether it be greed lust or just plain vindictiveness,
There's a level of malevolence [benevolence?] inside all of us,
You can paint yourself an image and live in your own little dream,
But this ain't a dream, it's one big silver screen,
So when you think you've got your happy ending don't ever forget it,
It ain't over til you hear the sound of your end credits,
You'll be waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for you feet to grow wings,
That lift you above,
All of these tiresome things,
That you know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for you feet to grow wings,
That lift you above,
All of these tiresome things,
That you know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does"

Something Corporate - Punk Rock Princess

Maybe when the room is empty,
Maybe when the bottle's full.
Maybe when the door gets broke down,
Love can break in.

Maybe when I'm done with thinking,
Maybe you can think me whole.
Maybe when I'm done with endings
This can begin, this can begin
This can begin.

If you could be my punk rock princess,
I would be your garage band king.
You can tell me why you just don't fit in
And how you're gonna be something

Maybe when your hair gets darker,
Maybe when your eyes get wide,
Maybe when the walls are smaller
There will be more space

Maybe when I'm not so tired,
Maybe you could step inside
Maybe when I look for things that
I cant replace, I cant replace
I cant replace.

If you could be my punk rock princess,
I would be your garage band king.
You could tell me why you just don't fit in,
And how you're gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache,
I would do it over again.
If you could be my punk rock princess,
I would be your heroine.

I never thought you'd last,
I never dream you would.
You watch your life go past,
You wonder if you should.

If you should be my punk rock princess,
So I could be your garage band king.
You could tell me why you just don't fit in,
And how you're gonna be something.

If I could be your first real heartache,
I would do it over again.
If you could be my punk rock princess,
I would be your heroine.

Whoa! you know!
You only burn my bridges
Whoa! you know!
You just cant let it sink in!
You could be my heroine,
You could be my heroine!

Baptised with a perfect name
The doubting one by heart
Alone without himself

War between him and the day
Need someone to blame
In the end, little he can do alone

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Apart from the wandering pack
In this brief flight of time we reach
For the ones, whoever dare

You believe but what you see
You receive but what you give

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Reaching, searching for something untouched
Hearing voices of the Never-Fading calling

Caress the one, the Never-Fading
Rain in your heart - the tears of snow-white sorrow
Caress the one, the hiding amaranth
In a land of the daybreak

Down in flames - Relient K

2009-06-15T01:27:00.001+08:00

Christians, we're all afraid of fire.
We prefer to suck on pacifiers.
Baby pacifists, we're throwing fits.
We don't shake hands, we shake our fists.
We're cannibals. We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake up and see we're going down in flames.
We're going down, down, down in flames.
We're gonna drown, drown, drown insane.
We see the problem and the risk, but nothing's solved.
We just say, "TSK, TSK, TSK." and "Shame, shame, shame."

Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake to see we're going down in flames.

Christians, we mourn,
the thorn is stuck in the side of the body.
Watch it self-destruct.
The enemy is much ignored when we fight this Christian civil war.
We're cannibals, We watch our brothers fall.
We eat our own, the bones and all.

Finally fell asleep on the plane.
To wake to see we're going down in flames.

Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Na na na na na, na na na na.
Banana na na, na na na.

Let me pause to clarify:
('cause I'm sure you're asking, "Why?").
I stand before you, and proudly claim to belong to what this song complains.
I'm part of the problem I confess, but I got to get this off my chest.
Let's extinguish the anguish for which we're to blame,
and save the world from going down in flames.

we drive tonight,
and you are by my side.
We're talking about our lives,
like we've known each other forever.
the time flies by,
with the sound of your voice.
its close to paradise,
with the end surely near.
if i could only stop the car
and hold onto you,
and never let go...
i'll never let go.
as we round the corner
to your house
you turned to me and said,
"i'll be going through withdrawal of you for this one night we have spent."
and, i want to speak these words
but i guess i'll just bite my tongue,
and accept "someday, somehow"
as the words that we'll hang from.
and i... don't want to speak these words.
cause i, don't want to make things any worse.
why does tonight, have to end?
why don't we hit restart,
and pause it at our favorite parts.
we'll skip the goodbyes.
if i had it my way,
i'd turn the car around and runaway,
just you and i.
and i... don't want to speak these words.
cause i, don't want to make things any worse.

And you're my everything
Everything that I need
Here in your arms is where I
Where I like to be

It might be to soon for "I love you's"
But I can't hide the truth
It might be too soon
But I love you
I love you
I love you

Let's get out of this town
She said "no baby, baby
Everyone's saying that lately"
Let's just sit back and relax
And just chit chat and hold hands
And hold hands
And hold hands

You're my sunflower, flower
The one that bloomed in my bedroom
With your clothes off you have
Never looked so cute

What would you do for "I love you's"?
What would you do?
It might be too soon
But I love you
I love you
I love you

Let's get out of this town
She said "no baby, baby
Everyone's saying that lately"
Let's just sit back and relax
And just chit chat and hold hands
And hold hands
And hold hands
And hold hands
That's cute

What would you do for "I love you's"?
What would you do?
It might be too soon
But I love you
I love you
I love you

Let's get out of this town
She said "no baby, baby
Everyone's saying that lately"
Let's just sit back and relax
And just chit chat and hold hands
And hold hands
And hold hands

Hellogoodbye - Dear Jamie... Sincerely Me...

2009-05-30T20:32:00.005+08:00

From the Hellogoodbye EP, 2004. Comes this amazing track. One of the longest songs i heard because of it's awesome instrumental in the outro. I got their demo too which sounds awfully low-fi because Forrest records it in his bedroom with a 4-track =D

Anyways, do enjoy this lovely piece of music. The song in the EP last about 8 minutes 30 seconds. Because they inserted a minute of silence follow by a car driving by and err random noises? Cheerio!

ps: do you guys like the lyrics hiding function?

pps: Swei, you wanna know how right? After you finish exams okay? XD

ppps: Anyone named Jamie? XD

Situasi (Situation)

2009-05-06T01:06:00.007+08:00

Bunkface is a homegrown band hailing from Taman Seri Andalas, Klang,
There's 4 of them, Sam is the vocalist and guitar, Youk is on bassist and backup vocals, Paan on lead guitar and also backup vocals too, and lastly Biak on drums.
They describe their music as pop punk, alternative and rock.
Want their myspace? Here you go:http://www.myspace.com/bunkface

Anyways, I hung out with a few of my juniors during their band practices while i was back in hometown, and one of their favorite songs to play is this song called Situasi.
It's not catchy at first play, but it's really meaningful and edgy.
It shows just how much potential our local bands can be, support your local music scene today!

Diskriminasi menjatuhkan aku
I fell down because of discrimination
Reputasi kini menjadi bisu
My reputation is now held in silence
Dan aku, ku layu, disitu
And I'm, I'm all dried up, there
Mengharapkan sesuatu yang baru, Itulah impian aku
It's my dream to hope for something new

Dan bila kau menghilang
And when you're gone
Musnah la, musnah impian, tuk menggapai bintang
It's destroyed, the dream to reach for the stars is destroyed
Terangi hidup ku
(The stars that) lit up my life
Ku mahu kau tahu
I want you to know that
Engkaulah, destinasiku
You are my destination
Dalam ingatanku... oh oh oh...
In my memories... oh oh oh...

Kerana diri ini tak daya lagi
Because I don't have the strength anymore myself
Menempuh hidup yang ku temui
To go through this life i found
Dan aku, ku tunggu... oh oh oh
And I, I waited... oh oh oh
Disitu
there

Mengharapkan sesuatu yang baru, Itulah impian aku
It's my dream to hope for something new

Man Whatcha Doin'?

2009-04-26T13:33:00.001+08:00

I heard this guy say once:

If I had the money than I'd,
Buy all the happiness that money could buy,
I'd have 10 stretch limos like a movie star,
And a room in my house just for my guitar
And if I had money than I'd,
Only wear Sean John,
Eat my cereal with Grey Poupon,
In a swimming pool about one mile long,
With speakers underwater,
Playing this song

Man, whatcha doin?
Don't ya know that, money can't
Buy you love? It can't make you happy,
Happy like, havin' someone to laugh with
Man whatcha doin?
Don't cha know that, money can't make it right,
You need to love yourself my man,
Before you love somebody else

Man, sit down, and listen to me for a second,
I'm not tryin' to be the sound of a broken record,
But every day you live your life, thinkin' this is
All there is, your cheatin' yourself outta
Somethin' special... no doubt...

He said:

If I had the money than I'd,
Buy all the happiness that money could buy,
I'd have 10 stretch limos like a movie star,
And a room in my house just for my guitar
And if I had money than I'd,
Only wear Sean John,
Eat my cereal with Louie Vuitton,
In a swimming pool about one mile long,
With speakers underwater,
Playing this song

Man, whatcha doin?
Don't ya know that, money can't
Buy you love? It can't make you happy,
Happy like, havin' someone to laugh with
Man whatcha doin?
Don't cha know that, money can't make it right,
You need to love yourself my man,
Before you love somebody else

Eastertide

2009-04-12T02:10:00.004+08:00

Stop - before you read any further - please take a few minutes and watch this video!

This clip illustrates in a powerful way how the sacrifice of Jesus must have completely broken the heart of God the Father - and how Easter should also include a time of expressing our gratitude not only to Jesus, but to the Father as well.

This clip is also more than just a video. It's actually based on the true story of a man who made that exact sacrifice. Here's what really happened:

The father's name was John Griffith. He had lost all he had in the stock market crash. He moved to Mississippi where he took a job as bridge operator for a railroad trestle. In 1937 he was involved in a horrible accident.

One day his 8 year-old son, Greg, spent the day with his Dad at work. The boy poked around the office and asked dozens of questions - just like little boys do. The bridge was over a river and whenever a ship came John had to open the bridge to allow the ships to pass.

The day the boy was there with his father a ship was coming so John opened up the drawbridge. After a moment or two he realized his son wasn't in the office and as he looked around, to his horror, John saw his son climbing around on the gears of the draw bridge.

He hurried outside to rescue his son but just then he heard a fast approaching passenger train, the Memphis Express, filled with 400 people.
He yelled to his son, but the noise of the now clearing ship and the oncoming train made it impossible for the boy to hear him.

All of a sudden John Griffith realized his horrible dilemma. If he took the time to rescue his son the train would crash killing all aboard, but if he closed the bridge, the boy would be crushed in the gears.

John would sacrifice his son. He made the horrible decision, pulled the lever and closed the bridge. It is said, as the train went by John could see the faces of the passengers, some reading, some even waving, all of them oblivious to the sacrifice that had just been made for them.

In anguish he pounded the glass in the control room and cried out: 'What’s the matter with you people? Don’t you care? Don’t you know I’ve sacrificed my son for you? What’s wrong with you?' No one answered, no one heard. Not one seemed to care. And then soon the train was over the bridge and off into the distance.

This week over a billion people will celebrate Easter. We celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ came back from the dead after paying the ultimate price for our sins. We celebrate the fact that salvation is available through trusting in the risen savior of the world.

And that He underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to Him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead. (2 Corinthians 5:15)

But even though we celebrate, sometimes we forget. There was more than one sacrifice that was made on the hill called The Skull where Jesus hung on the Cross and poured out His life.

There was also a Daddy. He watched in heaven as His precious Son was spit on, insulted, tortured, and finally murdered by people who had no idea who they were killing. The heart of God the Father must have been shattered into a million pieces as the land grew dark and Jesus cried out to His Papa:

Then Jesus shouted, "Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!" And with those words he breathed his last." (Luke 23:46)

That's why this Easter you need to remember and celebrate not only the earthly side of the gospel message, but the heavenly side as well:

But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8)

While we were on the train, headed for destruction, while we were addicts and selfish, sinful people, while we were clueless about the destiny of eternal souls. A Daddy chose to love us and choose to let His one and only Son be crushed by the gears of Crucifixion.

So we drive at the fate of this deep phoenix sky
With it's contents that keep me alive
Incessantly breathing through the night
Till we crash with the white caps that ride on our backs
Breaking down on the sand of this western coast
Where I never once thought we would stand
But here we are now
Riding currents that taste of a new town
Feeling high as the night's winding down
And now all I can see are white stars they span forever
As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be, just to be
Now we run facing out at the southwestern sun
So content to be all so undone
Cause here in these moments we have won
And I'm sure that I've imagined these sites
But I forget why I was never enticed to go out and try
But tonight dream becomes life
Cause here we are now
Riding currents they taste of a new town
We're so high as the night's winding down
Just a spot on the map of this land it spans forever
As I lay by a streetlight not a word I could possibly say
To explain my intrigue by how emphatic we are just to be
And I wont take a minute for granted
I wont waste another word
These streets I would kill to be lost in
I lay by a streetlight as the summer air soaks in my lungs
How impressive are we just to live and breathe in this world
And how lucky am I to be so alive in this world
Oh how precious are we just to simply be in this world

Waiting for the beat to kick in by Scroobius Pip

2009-03-22T08:44:00.003+08:00

Silently I step up with a subversive subtext,
Trying to feed the need for more than just remedial subjects,
Place my faith in the belief that the general public,
Will open up their minds to more than just an industry puppet,

I ain't a preacher preachin' doom and gloom,
Well not just yet,
But if there's something I feel strongly about,
Then I'll discuss it,
And if I only make one album before I kick the bucket?
I'll hold that album to my heart in my grave and say "SCREW IT"..

Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for my feet to grow wings,
That lift me above,
All of these tiresome things,
That we know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for my feet to grow wings,
That lift me above,
All of these tiresome things,
That we know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does.

A lot of my poems and writings seem to start with me waking up, or being in a dream, or dream like state. Now, this implies a certain level of abstraction in my work.. You might say I'm keeping it surreal but.. I'd rather you didn't. Fact is. I sleep a lot. It's as simple as that. I like sleepin' man. It's a nice place to be.

...Right

I was walking along through unfamiliar streets,
And it felt strange 'cause there didn't seem to be anyone else around.
I don't know where I was but it had a feeling of New York,
But not New York in real life the New York you see in old films,
I can't really explain why it just had that vibe,
Every step I took felt somehow more dramatic.

So I kept walking and down an alley behind a bar sitting on some metal steps I saw a man,
From the look and smell of him it was clear that he enjoyed a drink,
But he wasn't in such a state I felt him to be any kind of irrational threat so I approached him,
With due care..

"Ah Mr Pip" he said out loud,
"We've been awaiting you, my name is Elwood P. Dowd",
Now just what he meant by 'we' I didn't really get,
But all the same I took a seat next to him on the step,
He said "You'll meet a few people before this day is through,
Who will administer advice and guidelines to you,
Now what each of them says I'll tell you now is true,
But whether or not you take this advice is for you to choose",
At that point he acted as if someone had whispered in his ear,
Which, since noone else was there, was pretty damn weird,
Awkwardly I looked away and kinda played with my beard,
And he cleared his throat for a second and said "Listen here,
In this life you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant,
For years I was smart, I reccommend pleasant,
Being smart can make you rich and bring respect and reverence,
But the rewards of being pleasant are far more incandescent",

With this information I was encouraged to walk on,
I continued alone through these empty streets,
Thinking over what Elwood had said but at the same time thinking about how fucking strange the day had been so far,
I was in my own little world when a hand was placed on my chest,
And a guy said "Look out, there's some broken glass on the floor there",

I looked up,
He said "Hi, pleased to meet you, my name is Lloyd Dobler,
I'll get straight to the point, won't take too much time from ya,
I'm probably the youngest person you'll get advice from today,
And you may think that a guy my age wouldn't have anything to say,
But it's said that observation, not old age, brings wisdom,
And I observe every single life lesson I'm given,
I won't attempt tell you how to love or be loved,
Because you get a different genie each time that lantern is rubbed,
But I will offer you advice on dealing with life,
Its ups and its downs,
Its troubles and its strifes,
Now I'm sure you've had times when you've felt down or angry,
Wanted to lash out, punch a wall and be manly,
But the question I pose now will offer you a plan B,
And maybe some peace and quiet for your friends and family,
How hard is it to decide to be in a good mood,
And then just be.. in.. a good mood?
That's all I have to say because it's a straight up fact,
You control your emotions it's as simple as that",
He walked off then, leaving me to contemplate this brief encounter,
I'd barely had time to realise I was being taught something before he was gone,
And I was back on my way.

On I walked and almost immediately I spotted the next guide,
And he couldn't be clearer.
This guy was standing on the street corner and pacing back and forth,
Skinny lookin' guy leather jacket tight jeans, retro look,
I'd rarely seen someone look quite so uncomfortable in their own skin,
Twitchin', smoothing his hair back, kicking the floor and looking up and down the street,
He clearly didn't enjoy waiting around so I approached him quickly,
To put him out of his misery,
And to let him start his.. spiel.

"Hi my name is Billy Brown,
I ain't gonna give you some quote,
Instead I'm gonna use some stuff that YOU wrote:
'Always had the feeling I could never be the villain,
Cause the villain in the books is always backlit,
Always had the feeling I could never be the villain,
Cause the villain in the books is always backlit,
Now I find it pleasing to defend myself with reason,
But this clock is always sitting on my back,
tick, tick tick,
Then, no explosion but participants errosion,
Like a picture over overly exposed and,
Like a fox that's been run over in the road and..'
Basically what I'm trying to say to you is,
You don't achieve anything by letting the past rule within you,
Getting all pent up and angry about stuff just eats away inside you,
What's that other line of yours..
'If you can't forgive and forget,
How's this,
Forget forgivin' and just accept that that's it',
See that's how it's gotta be.
Then you can fall in love, get on with your life and be free",
Almost before he could finished this sentence he was off down the street,
Hands in his pockets, hurrying away..

Now quite accepting of the totally surreal time I was having I rounded a corner,
And continued onto my next encounter,
Resigned to the fact this was some dream or hallucination,
I made my way through the now dark street,
To the one window that had a light on,
I walked through the unlocked door which incidentally had blinds down,
And a sillhouetted figure like a film noir scene,
But sadly no sign saying Private Eye.
As I entered a voice promptly said..

"This journey's almost over, I'm the only one left,
Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Walter Nepp,
The other guys have taught you things of great positive worth,
But I'm afraid I'm here to bring you back down to Earth,
See you can live your life in control and be nice,
But even that will not promise you a happy life,
You may think yourself in general to be a nice guy,
But I'm telling you now - that right there is a lie,
Even the nicest of guys has some nasty within 'em,
You don't have to be backlit to be the villain,
Whether it be greed lust or just plain vindictiveness,
There's a level of benevolence inside all of us,
You can paint yourself an image and live in your own little dream,
But this ain't a dream, it's one big silver screen,
So when you think you've got your happy ending don't ever forget it,
It ain't over til you hear the sound of your end credits,
You'll be waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for you feet to grow wings,
That lift you above,
All of these tiresome things,
That you know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does,
Waiting for you feet to grow wings,
That lift you above,
All of these tiresome things,
That you know and love,
Waiting for the beat to kick in,
But it never does"

I'm keeping quiet
Till there's no more sirens
Lately its hard to keep the hinges on
With all the noise
I found my words when there was no one talking
The room is spinning i have got no choice
Be patient, i am getting to the point

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly

So i just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place but i can't stop this story
I found my way but until then,
I'm only spinning

I'm keeping quiet til the phone stops ringing
Lately it's hard to disconnect
I just want something real
I found the words if i can just stop thinking
The room is spinning i have got no choice
Be patient, i am getting to the point

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly
So i just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place but i can't stop this story
I found my way but until then,
I'm only spinning

Spin beneath the rooftop
Hold on
Wait until the room stops
Spinning

I can't remember when the earth turned slowly,
So i just waited with the lights turned out again
I lost my place, but i can't stop this story
I found my way but in the end
We're only..

I can't forget when the earth turned slowly
So i just waited till the lights come on again
I lost my place, but i can't stop this story
I found my way but until then,
I'm only spinning

(spinning, spinning)

Windows 7 installation first looks

2009-02-22T21:54:00.019+08:00

O hai there, it's been 5 weeks! I'm alive and well, thank you.
Just popping by to show off the installation of Windows 7 beta .
Well i guess the hype died out a few weeks ago,
but meh, i guess you guys are wondering what kind of goodies microsoft has prepare for us all?

So this is what happens when you pop in the dvd.

Build 7000

Starting windows.

Setup (pronounced Set-up)is starting. Duh, I'm repeating what the pictures are saying. =D

Now this is a first for a Windows installation, Only 2 steps to complete.

It went on roughly about 25 minutes. and it restarted itself.

A few obligatory things any windows installation must perform

Now it's starting

Not so fast! Finalizing installation

Checking hardware requirements

Lastly preparing desktop

I forgot to take pictures of the desktop, but it looks exactly the same as Windows Vista (for now) and some slightly upgraded components. For example the sidebar has been removed and Windows gadgets can be placed anywhere on the desktop.
And the normal taskbar has been replaced by ribbons first seen in Microsoft Office 2007. It might be the best way to implement multitouch screen input.

I'm a pc. Booting xp, vista, ubuntustudio and windows 7.

Change will come.

2009-01-15T13:46:00.009+08:00

Hay guise,
So this is the start of the new year, procrastination = bad, time flies. And it said: "hey. It's the 15th of January 2009" Hey, it's the 15th already?! That's amaazingly fast. >< Soon Chinese New Year will be here, and all that. You can expect CNY songs blaring in Malls and radios. Never step into a shopping mall when there's an festival coming on unless you have urgent needs. I hate crowds, and bad festive music.

Oh, shoutouts to the TARCians and other colleges for their finals. Those having to seat for papers right after Chinese New Year is not cool. Crazy college, you think you can set any time you want! Well, look on the bright side guys, you have semester break to nurse your brain cells back.

Heh, so called remodeled blog. Gotta clean up my room, it's in a mess.

This is how a happy emo would look like. HAHAHA!

First post for the new yeah Happy new yeah!

2009-01-01T23:31:00.007+08:00

Yeah I know it's been awhile since I blogged anything online. AGAIN.
Hehehe sorry, Blame the busy holiday season. (Yeah, busy and holiday sounds very contradicting), busy on Christmas, and then in turn, busy for New Year. Wait scratch that, for the first time i am free on New Year's eve. It was because this time I don't have a watchnight service to attend to, It's a special event that we all gathered up together to pray for the coming new year. No matter what, all my past new years started with a bang! And this coming 2009 will be better than the last year, it's like a graph chart where the line is rising higher and higher each year.

On the other hand, I see many of my ex-classmates are taking up blogging too around the final months of 2008. It's so encouraging when I visited their active blogs. Good job guys, as information system engineers, we should be riding the tech and be in front. Welcome aboard! I'll link you guys up as soon as possible. We need a special holiday to honor the countless kind souls with unsecured networks named 'linksys'.

Guess what today is? It's the eight day of Christmas! Ha! and some people still think Christmas is over 8 days ago. There's 12 days of Christmas remember? LOL! People are loosing the Christmas mood easily these days. It's hard since everyone is returning to their daily life, be it work, or studies. Heh, the school kids are still having breaks till 5th of January.

Oh well, I wrote too much now. Bye now!

Dor Jea

2008-12-12T19:42:00.002+08:00

Hay guise, check out the video, it's a song called 'dor jea' which means Thank You in Cantonese, it's a very meaningful song if you understand it. I'm not good in Cantonese myself but i picked up most of the it. There's a short English verse too.
Check the beats out.

Cracks, use them to get high.

2008-12-11T00:18:00.002+08:00

A crack is a joke.

How do you make seven even?
Take away the 's'

What did the farmer bury all his money in his fields?
He wanted rich soil

What did one eye say to the other?
Between you and me, something smells

What should never be eaten after it's served?
A tennis ball!

What did the tie say to the hat?
You go on a head, I will just hang around

Which side of the duck had the most feathers?
The outside

What did the King Kong say when he called the wrong number?
King Kong ring wrong

What kind of witch lives on a beach?
A sandwich

What do snakes do after they have a fight?
They hiss and make up

What did the ghost say to the invisible man?
Long time no see

What is yours, but your friends use it more than you do?
Your name

Tune into the music.

2008-12-09T00:56:00.005+08:00

Uh. Better blog this down faster, I need to reboot into Linux for my torrents.

Hello folks.
Looking for good music to listen to?

Augustana is an American rock band from San Diego, California. They have the heartfelt piano-driven sound of Coldplay and Keane, plus a slight tinge of Counting Crows.

Here's Augustana singing Sweet and low.
Ehh... They disabled embedding, so click on the link to view the video. They won't bite. Promise!

Listening to these guys really feels like drinking a cool glass of lemonade for your soul.
Certainly a band you should listen if you need an escape from the noises on the radio.

Calm.

Thanks Noel for the recommendation!

This just in...

Made this header picture in 30 minutes.
A random photoshop design that seems to come together so well.
As you can see, this is one of photoshop's generic custom shape.
Works wonders with blending + some psudo-vectoring.
Paper texture inverted to make the frost night.

Simple.

The Resolution : Part of me

2008-11-27T19:28:00.001+08:00

"Part of me" performed by Linkin Park, taken off the EP album "Hybrid Theory EP".

Part of me won't go away
Everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can't live without it so it's senseless
Wanna cut it out of my soul
And just live with a gaping hole
Take control of my life
And wash out all the burnt taste
I made the problems in the first place
Hang my head low cause it's part of me
You hardly see right next to the heart of me
Heard of me, the routine scar
New cuts cover where the old ones are
And now I'm sick of this
I can't stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I rather not even be then the man that's staring in the mirror through me

Cut myself free willingly
Stop just what's killing me

I feel it everyday
I feel I made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside, swallowing me

Freedom can be frightening if you've never felt it
Once it's been dealt with you feel like you've been touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Remove the broken parts you know were wrong
And feel the calm when the problem's all gone
And then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can't let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Take it to the depths of the bottom of the well
And now you know that you can choose to lose the part in your heart
Where your insides bruise
You can live if you're willing to
Put a stop to just what's killing you

Alive in me, inside of me, a part of me screams away silently
This part of me won't go away, part of me won't go away

Everywhere I look around I see how everyone aught to be
Every time I see myself I see there's always something wrong with me

The Resolution. : Prologue

2008-11-11T02:15:00.001+08:00

He hears the faint sounds of rain pit pattering on a nearby window pane.
The pain is ever increasing as he progressed to a half conscious state,
he suddenly came to aware that he's in a warm bed.
"Where am I? How did I get here?" his thoughts are flying,
but he is still too weak to move.
He vaguely remembered the details, a crossroad,
a heavy rain and he was lying in the wet mud at the side of the road,
mortally wounded.

He opens his weak eyes, the room came into focus, it was in white.
A cosy room, there's a clock on the wall, a wooden window covered with blinds. There's an antique radio on a bookshelf by the window.
He shifted his view to a teak table at the side of the bed,
a book was left opened. He wondered again who brought him in.

"Ah! So you're awake." said a man's voice, it was from the door.
The door creaked more, it revealed an old man.
"I've seen people in worst shape than you are right now, and they lived to tell their story, be glad that you're still alive." He added.
He tried to speak to the old man, but no words came to his mouth.
The old man said, "Rest now my child, do not be troubled."
And slowly, the waves of unconsciousness came upon him again,
he slowly drifted away into a peaceful sleep.
