Try...

2011-01-13T22:47:00.003+08:00

If i walk, would you run?
If i stop, would you come?
If i say you're the one, would you believe me?
If i ask you to stay, would you show me the way?
Tell me what to say so you don't leave me.
The world is catching up to you
While you're running away to chase your dream
It's time for us to make a move cause we are asking one another to change
And maybe i'm not ready

Chorus
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

If i sing you a song, would you sing along?
Or wait till i'm gone, oh how we push and pull
If i give you my heart would you just play the part
Or tell me it's the start of something beautiful.
Am i catching up to you?
While your running away to chase your dreams
It's time for us to face the truth cause we are coming to each other to change
And maybe i'm not ready

Chorus
But I'll try for your love
I can hide up above
I will try for your love
We've been hiding enough

I will try for your love
I can hide up above

2x huh huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh huh huhhh

If i walk would you run
If i stop would you come
If i say you're the one would you believe me

HAPPYNESS

2010-11-29T23:20:00.002+08:00

13 more days...

Climb. Eat. Sleep. Climb.

RUNning

2010-08-03T21:52:00.002+08:00

Dun realli understand why some people love running.
Can't figure out the joy or pleasure in it.
BUT the one thing I know.
Is the satisfaction it gives.
For one like me who can't engage in my fave sport on a weekday.
The simple idea of exercising to stay healthy.

6477

2010-06-13T23:23:00.005+08:00

Things have changed.
Can't say it out loud now.
But the feelings remain.
"I 6477 U"

Born Free

2010-06-04T11:52:00.002+08:00

I'm beginning to get used to this kinda life.
No pressure.
No obligations.
No strings attached.
And it's pretty awesome I must say =)

BIG Tree!

2010-05-19T22:49:00.003+08:00

As I hit the "big tree", I made a wish.
And I'm hoping that it will come true.
One fine day.

Tick tock tick tock...

2010-05-17T00:12:00.003+08:00

These days, somehow it seems to me that the weekend seemed longer than than the weekdays.
If I were to tell this to someone, I will probably get a knock on the head.
Perhaps it won't be so after sometime.
If I could ever reverse time, I will probably wanna lead this same life again.
With the exception of a few events that happened.
But then again, if it didn't happen, I probably wouldn't be what I am today.

Bored...

2010-05-08T13:54:00.003+08:00

Surfing aimlessly on a Saturday afternoon...

The boredom is killing me.
I need to find new motivation.
Where are you?!?!

The Wonders

2010-05-03T23:30:00.006+08:00

I felt the heartbeat.

It's a wonderful feeling.
I missed it.

We are the World

[Justin Bieber]
There comes a time
When we heed a certain call
[Nicole Scherzinger & Jennifer Hudson]
When the world must come together as one
[Jennifer Hudson]
There are people dying
[Jennifer Nettles]
And it’s time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
[Josh Groban]
We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
[Tony Bennet]
that someone, somehow will soon make a change
[Mary J Blige]
We are all a part of
God’s great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need

[Chorus]
[Michael Jackson]
We are the world
We are the children
[Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson]
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Barbra Streisand]
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

[Miley Cyrus]
Send them your heart
So they’ll know that someone cares
[Enrique Iglesias]
so their cries for help
will not be in vain
[Nicole Scherzinger]
We can’t let them suffer
no we cannot turn away
[Jamie Foxx]
Right now they need a helping hand
[Wyclef Jean]
Nou se mond la
We are the Children
[Adam Levine]
We are the ones who make a brighter day

We’re saving our own lives
[BeBe Winans]
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

[Michael Jackson]
When you’re down and out
There seems no hope at all
[Usher]
But if you just believe
There’s no way we can fall
[Celine Dion]
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change can only come
[Fergie]
When we stand together as one

[Chorus - All]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Nick Jonas]
Got to start giving
[All]
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
[Toni Braxton]

We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Akon]
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we make a better day
Just you and me

[T-Pain]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
[Jamie Foxx imitating Ray Charles]
Choice were making
saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me

[Rapping - LL Cool J, Will-I-Am, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz]
We all need somebody that we can lean on
when you wake up look around and see that your dreams gone
when the earth quakes we’ll help you make it through the storm
when the floor breaks a magic carpet to stand on
we are the World united by love so strong
when the radio isn’t on you can hear the songs
a guided light on the dark road your walking on
a sign post to find the dreams you thought was gone
someone to help you move the obstacles you stumbled on
someone to help you rebuild after the rubble’s gone
we are the World connected by a common bond
lyrics courtesy of www.killerhiphop.com
Love the whole planet sing it along
[Wyclef]
CABARETT

[Chorus - All]

[Kanye West]
Everyday citizens
everybody pitching in

[Singing - Children & Wyclef Jean]
Nou se mond la
nou se timoun yo

[Will-I-Am]
You and I
You and I
[Kanye West]
Uh, 12 days no water
whats your will to live?
[Will-I-Am]
we amplified the love we watching multiply
[Kanye West]
Feeling like the Worlds end
we can make the World win
[Will-I-Am]
Like Katrina, Africa, Indonesia
and now Haiti needs us, the need us, they need us

[Chorus - All]
[Wyclef Jean]
Ayiti, Ayiti, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Ayiti, Ayiti, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay
Ayiti, Ayiti, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay

You're Beautiful...

2010-02-23T19:21:00.002+08:00

A kiss can be therapeutic. It's beautiful.

LOVE is...

2010-02-08T00:32:00.003+08:00

Something that will make your heart beat faster.
Someone that never fails to make you smile.
The person that is always on your mind in whatever you do.
That someone who makes you wanna become a better person.
Realli not easy to say for the first time.
Realli hard to find, even harder to hold on, insanely hard to let go.

That's what Love is.

Believe...

2010-01-27T23:22:00.004+08:00

Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it. ~Unknown

Great place. Amazing time. Lovely company. =)

Believe it... Shit happens...

2009-12-10T12:51:00.002+08:00

The More-Than-Often true,
Law of Murphy

Universal
Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.
Whatever can't go wrong, will go wrong.
Trying to make things better only makes things worse.
Any attempt to do nothing, so nothing can go wrong, will go wrong.
The truth is rarely pure, and never simple.

@ Home
A heavy, ugly, useless thing has sat in the dark corner of a cabinet for 20 years. The day after you throw it away, you need it urgently.

On Self
As soon as you mention something; if it's good it goes away, if it's bad it happens.
When you search for something, you go back to the same place again and again.
You wake up two minutes before the alarm goes off.
You remember the face, but the name evades you.
Bad luck comes in threes.

On Society
If you say the word 'sex', the room goes very quiet.
A confidential whisper is heard better than a loud shout.
Nice guys finish last.

At Work
Any situation demanding your undivided attention occurs simultaneously with a compelling distraction.
A committee is a group of people who can't decide anything on their own, but together can decide that nothing can be done.
If a problem causes many meetings, the meetings eventually become more important than the problem.
Any tool, when dropped, will roll into the least accessible corner of the room.
On the way to the corner, any dropped tool will first strike your toes.

Out & About
Going there takes longer than getting back.
Traffic lights are always red when you're in a hurry.
Your queue always goes slowest.
Time flies when you're having fun.
Whatever you buy, the day after the guarantee runs out, it snaps.
Everything looks useful until you buy it.

From the book "Why the toast always lands butter side down" by Richard Robinson.

Confessions of a Coffeeholic

2009-04-06T23:24:00.005+08:00

Hello, I am Mr B. And I am a Coffeeholic.

My latest movie since dunno when. With my mates Jelli the Beanie and Sara the "Docile" lady. A somehow funny movie about a girl, Becky Bloomwood, who has a major shopping problem (almost as bad as my coffee problem lol).

For people out there who has similar problems e.g. CABaholic (U-know-who haha) should check out this movie. It sorta tells us in a subtle way that we should do stuff in moderation and not overdo. I feel.

The saying goes "Be Smart, Don't Act Smart".

Sometimes we juz need to take a step back and look at things from a different angle.

QPC566 Folk and Social Dances

One interesting module which I'm taking this semester. Contents include International Folk Dances, Social Dances (Cha-cha, Rock and Roll, Waltz) and Line Dances.

Kinda different from da Street Dance that me saw in Step Up. All those back-breaking moves and what not. (Step Up II coming soon!)

Well, I'm looking forward to learning some cool dance steps from Prof Goh =)

Anyways check this out!
I guess it ain't as easy as we all prolly tot it would be. Enjoy ya practise =)

The Game of LIFE

2009-01-04T22:37:00.004+08:00

In-house Celebration @ Al the Vin's Home on New Year's Eve

As usual, we did our countdown in our UNUSUAL WAY (",)

Anyways, apart from the last-min-buy-from-NTUC steamboat with BIG BOWL HORFUN, Mahjong tournament (feat. MJ Queen Naf), classic Japanese scary movie (feat. room 505) which doesn't seem to be scary at all, the me-thinks-quite-nice Step Up movie, the Not-too-bad Dan In Real Life movie and the Jenga Championship (Individual event: Uncle VS Naf and Team event: Uncle & Lena VS Al the Vin & Naf), the highlight of the day was the Game of Life which Lena brought all the way from the other end of the world, Pasir Ris.

To sum it all, the game forces U to find a job, get married, buy EXPENSIVE houses (no money also must buy), have lotsa kids (Naf had the MOST) and end your life as a MILLIONAIRE (only Lena). Nonsensical but interesting. =)

Last but not least, all of us were treated to various flavours of cake by Lena and gingerbread by Naf. NICE.

U gimme FEVER!

2008-12-30T10:57:00.004+08:00

Dedicated to ALL who went for the trip.

A lesson a day...

2008-12-23T14:36:00.006+08:00

Menu of the day: Toasted Cashew Choc Chip Cookies =)

Went over to sister Shal's house to do some baking yday. Made some new friends there too. Silin aka the Psycho Wannabe, Liyong aka the SMS Queen, Nicole aka the Sleepalot-addicted-to-DS-girl, Auntie aka Shal's mum who made us nice lunch plus dinner treat. =)

All the measuring, cutting, toasting, mixing and stirring were well distributed among the five of us excluding auntie who were BZ preparing lunch. No doubt the cookies turned out to taste pretty delicious. Following that Liyong who wanted to boil the butter initially (LOL) baked a cheesecake for her bf which turned out quite well too. =)

Lesson of the day:
If it looks good but it does not taste nice -> Useless
If it doesn't look good but it taste great -> Priceless

Enjoy the cookies peeps!

OMG me gonna start on my holiday homework soon! Panic!

Centre-row: Brainy Bernard, Silly Shalynn, Li Zhen Xiang, Uncle B
Front-row: Allen Iverson, Energiser Elicia, Sarah Bandana

2nd November was the day to remember. Waking up early (530am) and travelling across the country (Pasir Ris Park!!!) all for the sake of a fun-filled day. As usual, was one of the earliest to arrive on site so proceeded to do all the necessary arrangements to help the gang get registered.

Hell broke loose when the event started! Almost all the walls were already filled with climbers. Went on to do some warm-up routes then started to whack the harder ones. Anything more than 1000 points is crazy and definitely require more than one try from me (except for the 2000 points route on the Blocx Wall heh).

Slightly after lunch (skipped mine) it started to rain, but that didn't stop the climbers from attacking the inside wall but it means longer queuing time (about 15mins). All-in-all, I had a great time even though my fingers were aching and burning after going through all those routes with me. It was a fantastic experience and didn't expect to be climbing all the way till the end (5pm)!

To the GANG: "Great job dudes and dudettes for arriving early and participating in ClimbOn! 2008! We all had our share of fun and definitely was a great experience for all of us! We shall look forward to ClimbOn! 2009 and in the meantime climb harder!"

PS: Dun forget our Year-End Trip is juz around the corner peeps!

Serious Issue in ME Life

2008-10-31T00:17:00.002+08:00

How much CAFFINE is TOO MUCH?

A day without a latte, cup of tea, or caffeinated soft drink is unthinkable for many people. Yet caffeine poses some health risks. Although individuals seem to differ in their vulnerability to caffeine’s influence, if drunk in moderation, the risks appear negligible.

Studies on caffeine discount any risk of cancer. A major report from the American Institute for Cancer Research, based on numerous studies, concluded that coffee has no link to cancer risk.

Drinking more than four cups of coffee a day, however, may increase the risk of heart problems. In fact, a new study suggests that even two six-ounce cups of coffee a day may increase blood test values that measure inflammation.

If future research confirms these findings, there may be cause for concern. But it’s too early to severely limit your coffee consumption for this reason, because two large American studies show no effect of coffee or caffeine on the incidence of heart disease.

Article By Karen Collins, R.D.

Was told to read this article. Followed by reminders to "CUT DOWN" on caffeine consumption. Will try to do so. From many cups a day to 3 cups a day in time to come. Not an easy task but definitely worth the try. =)

Coolios sister. U rawk!

Never Underestimate TEAMWORK!
