Valentine's Day

My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path had lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

So now you're gone, and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like, to be alone

On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day
(Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)

fallen for you

while my hair's still wet as i just returned from a movie titled "Gone Baby Gone" at plaza singapura, i finally took the effort to produce this post.

no idea from what reason, i suddenly have a list of things i wish to have. yes. a wishlist i thought i will never have. seeing other people always have their wishlist, i didnt thought i would have one too. but well, there it goes..

wishlist:
- Avril Lavigne's The Best Damned Thing
- The Wedding Album (as advertised on TV)
- A really sweet pair of shoes, probably snickers or street soccer 'boots'.
- Tennis Racquet (Head or Prince is nice.. however looking at the price tags.. i think a cheap wilson will do..)


Even though my birthday is over, doesnt mean you all cannot give me these as presents! just kidding haha.


in this week's american's idol's auditions there was a 18-year-old girl who participated in American Junior(apparently is a singing contest for juniors) 4 years ago, that is in 2003. i remember in 2003, American Idol was the talk of the town during its telecast. The show then played past videos of her in the Junior competition, and in that video was a very young growing girl, singing and smiling, as if she had no worries in the back of her mind, like a child.

Then it striked me. Looking at the distinct change in the girl's physique and attitude(she was very arrogant and as quoted "slutty", wore a short skirt and typical teen spaghetti if im not wrong), i realised the fact that we change the most from 12 - 16 years old.

in these four years of mine,
- i had 2 major exams (the streaming exam and the O's)
- i played basketball, then switched to soccer, then to computer games.
- i made my first calculator using e pascal language
- stopped taking bio and e lit. then later all the humans subject altogether
- failed my english for the first time
- built and paid for my own comp
- fell in love for the first time

so many milestones, so many things that changed my life.
so many that sometimes i think that it cannot be controlled. that this path i have to take is fixed.
there were many opportunies, many more wasted.
there were important decisions to make. Even the CCA you chose have most probably changed your life. what to study. who to make friends with. going home to do homework, or to stay at friend's house till night. study for the test, or not. whether i should eat more than i can afford.

didn't have much money then. often have to take out my almost non-existent savings (from ang pao's or birthday ang pao's) if i want to do something extra. however, i was contented with what i have.

now i have income, look at me, have a wishlist liao. lol. actually no la.. just felt that im not young anymore, have to try new things. avril album if it was last time, i would have bought it too. and my old shoes are worn out already.

there are so many more things to talk about in these 4 years, which i think is the best 4 years of my life. (secondary sch life), so many wonderful things that happened. oh.. and q***w** just poped up from the msn alert window.
