The Long Bus Trip

Waited quite sometime for bus 183 @ Science Park II, it being an almost-half-hourly bus service which loops at Science Park II. Clouds gathering up high in the sky.

3pm. Bus came. Waited a while while the bus driver went down to check the bus. Moved off, and it started to rain at the next junction. Rain gets heavier.

Reached Clementi MRT station. HEAVY rain.

Next stop: Nan Hua Primary School. Alighted. huh? huh? where’s the rain? The ground was dry!

3.20pm. Bus 173 came. Decided to check out the bus route to Bt Batok. Drizzled.

Bus turned. Reached PIE.  Bus turned in to Toh Tuck! OMG! Isn’t that the route to Bt Timah??

5 mins. Turning around Toh Tuck.

10 mins. Still at Toh Tuck. OMG what’s the bus doing so long at Toh Tuck? I want to go Bt Batok!

20 mins. Bt Timah market. oO Almost alighted and changed bus home.

Thought the bus will turn at Hillview. It turned at Hume Park! New road explored!

Then it went to the turn-a-bout at Hillview. Looped.

Turned in to the semi-detached houses opposite Lam Soon Building. Another 5 mins gone.

Turned to the same main road and continued.

Thought it’ll turn at the condo at the junction and go straight to interchange. wrong. lol.

Turned at next junction (Blk 265) instead. Great. Saw Aunt Elsie and grandma board the bus! And they didn’t see me until I gave Aunt Elsie a call. ><

It didn’t turn at Keming Pri as expected. Gosh another new area explored.

The route after that was expected.

By the time I reached interchange, it was 4.10pm.

50mins from the PIE to interchange!!

It could have taken me just 15mins if I’d taken bus 106 instead of 173.

Long journey indeed.

Busy?

Despite the flu, I popped down the hospital after rushing my assignment. My dear budz got hospitalized after an insect bite, and had to undergo a minor surgery on that. It just sounds so scary when he narrates the situation in the surgery room ><

Anyhow, get well soon bro!

And I’m feeling damn sick lah! The sneeze that doesn’t want to come, made me tear so many times! How am I going to survive through tomorrow’s interview?

Did retail shopping during lunch. Popped down to BPP and bought for myself Shirlyn‘s album. She’s part of The UnXpected band that plays at Wala every Thur/Sat. Kind-of like the album, despite me not being an English song lover, not to mention Rock songs. =) I like the 4th song, SNOW. Haven’t had the time to look through the lyrics, but the music sounds soothing to my ears =) Go get the album if you like Shirlyn.

Matchbox 20 – Push

Another song recommendation!

She said I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved
By hand that’s touched me, well I feel like something’s gonna give
And I’m a little bit angry, well

This ain’t over, no not here, not while I still need you around
You don’t owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Well I will

She said I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don’t know why you couldn’t just stay with me
You couldn’t stand to be near me
When my face don’t seem to want to shine
‘cuz It’s a little bit dirty well

Don’t just stand there, say nice things to me
I’ve been cheated I’ve been wronged you,
And you don’t know me, I can’t change
I won’t do anything at all

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, I wanna take you for granted, yeah I will, I will

Oh but don’t bowl me over
Just wait a minute well it kinda fell apart, things get so crazy, crazy
Don’t rush this baby, don’t rush this Baby, baby

(Chorus)
I wanna push you around, well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down, well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you, yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will, Yeah, yeah, push you around,
I’ll drag you down, I wanna push you around
Well I will

Augustana – Boston

Some songs that Ansley recommended. Posting the videos here to remind me to get the songs in case it slips my mind.

Augustana – Boston

In the light of the sun, is there anyone? Oh it has begun…
Oh dear you look so lost, eyes are red and tears are shed,
This world you must’ve crossed… you said…

You don’t know me, you don’t even care, oh yeah,
You said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah,

Essential yet appealed, carry all your thoughts across
An open field,
When flowers gaze at you… they’re not the only ones who cry
When they see you
You said…

You don’t know me, you don’t even care, oh yeah,
You said
You don’t know me, and you don’t wear my chains… oh yeah,

She said I think I’ll go to Boston…
I think I’ll start a new life,
I think I’ll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I’ll get out of California, I’m tired of the weather,
I think I’ll get a lover and fly em out to Spain…
I think I’ll go to Boston,
I think that I’m just tired
I think I need a new town, to leave this all behind…
I think I need a sunrise, I’m tired of the sunset,
I hear it’s nice in the Summer, some snow would be nice… oh yeah,

Boston… where no one knows my name… yeah
Where no one knows my name…
Where no one knows my name…
Yeah Boston…
Where no one knows my name.

Rob Thomas – Little Wonders

Soundtrack from “Meet The Robinsons”

let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we’ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end

our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain

all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now

in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain

Junyang in 林宇中’s Music Video

Junyang’s in this MV!

林宇中&金莎-复活

(男)你变得像他一样沉默 偶尔也像他一样活泼
连笑声也都一样 我怎么忘 也忘不过一秒
我想要爱 却看到他离开的刹那

(女)你将爱情带走 留我一个分手的魔咒
叫我伤得彻底 不敢再妄想 谁的温柔
看我的眼神闪躲 我知道你有话 不能说
我该如何假装 心才不隐隐作痛

(合)你说分手后 你(我)第一次有想爱的念头
可是眼前的是他还是你(我) 还在争夺
(女)我懂你不想承诺
却又无法 (合)解开这魔咒
让我在你心里面复活
无数次的复活 (女)我只要你爱我

(男)远远看你勇敢在心头 靠近一点却又太懦弱
(女)不拆穿你的困惑 爱不了我(你)
(合)至少不要难过 任何结果
我会点头 只要你快乐

(女)你将爱情带走 留我一个分手的魔咒
叫我伤得彻底 不敢再妄想 谁的温柔
看我的眼神闪躲 我知道你有话 不能说
我该如何假装 心才不隐隐作痛

(合)分手了以后 (你)第一次有想爱的念头
可是眼前的是他还是你(我) 我(你)还在争夺
(男)我不想给你承诺 又无法(女)解开这魔咒

(合)让我在你心里面复活
无数次的复活 我只要你爱我
无数次的复活 我只要你爱我

煮饭婆

煮饭婆 – 好 song2 的一个名词

My dad commented over dinner that I can officially be a 煮饭婆 with my current standard of culinary skills. Is that all that he aspires his daughter to be???? NOOO I don’t want to become a 煮饭婆!! ><

still having slight rashes from the session at wala-wala. if u consider it as rashes, that is. the redness has subsided, but still itchy. no idea why I was ok the last time I had the same drink concocted at the same place. prob by different people? so the weightage of the individual component varies? i know i’m allergic to vodkha & martini, but other kinds of alcohol? think should go try out all the possible drinks. lol..

my precious camera has gone on an overseas trip w/o me. I believe it’s still on the plane now, to Turkey. parted with it reluctantly this morning when I passed it to D, but trusting him to take good care of it and coming back with lots of nice photos from his 3weeks’ trip. i am already missing my good companion. so D, pls take good care of it! =D

Quote of the day:
“The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.”

“最快樂的人未必擁有最好的每件事情，他們只是懂得珍惜一路來得到的任何東西。”

Forever Begins Tonight

Kopped from Oyster’s site.

Since I seldom listen to english songs, this sounds like a fresher =)

Forever Begins Tonight- Patrizio Buanne

We made a pact to take the time
To get to know each other deep inside
No rushing in to cross the line
It may be a little old fashioned but it feels so right

Bridge:
Been holding back for so long
What feels so right can’t be wrong
Baby you can read it in my eyes
Let’s write the story of our lives tonight

Chorus:
Don’t be afraid, turn down the light
Baby move in closer It’s gonna be alright
This is the moment we’ll remember all our lives
Forever begins tonight

I know you fear those butterflies
But let me tell you a secret, so am I
But it’s OK
Baby it’s alright

Just follow our hearts now
What we feel inside
Yeah

Bridge
Chorus
And I know we will be one
When we see the morning sun

Chorus
Don’t be afraid

Sounds like something that I’m going through and yet unspeakable at the moment.

5.30am and I’m still wide awake oO

A trip to wala-wala has kept me awake till now oO

All thanks to the cup of coffee and the glass of Long Island Tea tt I drank. Still now feeling sleepy, but probably I should try to get some sleep?

Tried to study but nothing much went in. Too active a mind at this time of the day proves to be of no help. ahhahaha
