I posted this thing on my facebook page.. I thought that it was an enlightening message to all. Enlightening G. hahaha.
It's entitled 'Stop and Stare'. And the starting sentences were from One Republic's 'Stop and Stare'.
Stop and Stare. I think I'm moving but i go no where.
I flipped through my lecture notes.
Tried to memorise and internalise.
After some time, i stopped, one and a half hours have passed.
But i've only gone through 3 pages.
hahaha... cool right, it can be linked to studies.
Here's the original:
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us It's time to make our move, I'm shakin' off the rust I've got my heart set on anywhere but here I'm staring down myself, counting up the years Steady hands, just take the wheel... And every glance is killing me Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, can you see what I see
They're tryin' to come back, all my senses push Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could... Steady feet, don't fail me now Gonna run till you can't walk But something pulls my focus out And I'm standing down...
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be, oh Stop and stare You start to wonder why you're here not there And you'd give anything to get what's fair But fair ain't what you really need Oh, you don't need
What you need, what you need...
Stop and stare I think I'm moving but I go nowhere Yeah I know that everyone gets scared But I've become what I can't be Oh, do you see what I see...
Actually i kinda like One Republic's songs especially their lyrics. The lyrics seem to have a deeper meaning which you need to 'decode' it yourself but if you really read and make efforts to understand them, you'll realise that, 'hey, actually the meaning's quite explicitly demonstrated already'
I think i kinda like One Republic's musics.
Another popular song by them that you all will have definitely heard of it dozens of times would be 'Apologise' It's too late to apologise, it's too late~ find that familiar?
haha, it was over-played during our secondary school times...the effects are like the "Baby, baby, baby, ooh~" by justin bieber and "Shawty's like a melody in my head that i can't keep off, got me singing like, nahnahnahnah everyday, it's like my ipod's stuck on replay.." by Iyaz, which i have introduced many posts earlier...
I also like One republic's Secrets and All the right moves. :) hehe, and i'm posting the 2 songs below for my own liking, so everytime when i visit my blog i can conveniently press play and listen.(as compared to the time taken to search for it on youtube many times later... hhehehe
Tell me what you want to hear, Something that were like those years, Sick of all the insincere, So I'm gonna give all my secrets away. This time, don't need another perfect line, Don't care if critics never jump in line, I'm gonna give all my secrets away.
It sounded like someone had betrayed his or her other half in their relationship and the 'victim' decides to make the 1st move to talk about breaking up.
actually i dont really understand this song but i went to google it, many ppl left comments that said that the songs meant that even though someone else may have everything going right for them, be it being superiority or whatever, and feel that you are not comparable with them it does not necessarily mean that we have lost. We still can refuse to surrender and fight till the end.
I choose to decipher it as, you lose round one, two and three in a monopoly game doesn't mean that you will definitely loose the next round cos the probability of one winning a round of monopoly is independent of the previous rounds you have played.. HAHA MATHS
So it sounds like, A: Hah, stupid~ you lose again, ... B: yar i may have lost this round but i'll try my best to win the next round, you just wait and see.
Had such great time with TG yesterday. wished that theresa was there. :( we had great time laughing, singing (with accompaniment from guitarist serene, choir made up of shan, manda, bao, and den, and me! XD, which ended up quite chaotic, and ended with meiling's favourite baby baby baby ooh~), playing games, eating and also sharing a piece of our daily lives in sch, which started off teary but ended up funny (-.-) That was helpful~ heh heh :B
I learnt that, it's good to be always kinder than necessary, but, sometimes when we feel too burdened abt being nice to someone, we shld put a stop to it or put on our 'amour' to minimise the damage. haha, okay....
I saw this quote on facebook which reads Friendship isn't about whom you've know the longest. It's about who came, and never left your side. (T-T)
No, Friendship isn't just about whom have never left your side and gave you the help you needed. It's more than that. Friendship is an invisible link between people. It doesn't matter if others are not able to see it because these people knows that their link's tougher than any non biodegradable items. It's like curling up in the sofa at home when you're spending your time with them, homely and comfortableness.
That, is my definition of friendship. Thanks loads TG. :) When i'm with you guys, i feel as if i was curling up in a cushioned and large one-sitter sofa with a perfect pillow,
THAT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONA DIE... HAHAHAHA

I think this is a thing that everyone of us should work on... but one's tolerance have its limits, so it's kinda hard to fulfill....

Watched Eclipse with shuwen, rah, daniel and josh yesterday... it was kinda funny cos we laughed and made weird comments @ random parts of the show. Like, when edward cullen and jacob were having those akward moments 'fighting' over bella i kept whispering, orhhhh jealous jealous..and shuwen who told me that, jacob should hv been the vampire and edward shld have been the werewolf cos of the amount of body hair he had -.- i was like... uhhhh okay.. but was giggling...
then whenever we see edward's skin becoming shiny, the few of us will go shiny~ shinee~ hahaha, i think ppl sitting around us will get irritated.
then we had the increasingly annoying popcorn passing 'game' lol, which irritated rahimah with my popcorn passing attitude.. i just shoved it to her like, LIKE THAT. (lol, as if we all know what LIKE THAT means..but u know, the naughty geraldine attitude... )
oh and i keep getting all the names of the character wrong.. isabella to elizabeth. Volturi, those guys in the cloak, as victorians.. LOL
then the advertisement showed before the movie screening, the happy talking ad. we invented lame talking and G talking.. sounds stupid. but that's what u get when u go out with lame frens. haha..
can't wait to go out with tg. :) i wanna go tc's/ den's hse to play and have a meal... shall we go watch DESPICABLE ME together? i know bao bao wanna watch it like MAD, __ oso say that she wanna watch with me.. but.. i wanna watch with tg MOREMOREMORMOEMOREMOREMORE! XD okay? so hurry ask me out to watch it ^_^
super junior new song called, No Other. sounds very happy and gives me a blissful feeling. This is dedicated to all of u ^_^ there's No Other person that can replace ur place in me! X)
Generally the lyrics are trying to bring out the meaning that there's no other person that can replace your special someone who cares about you, cheers you up and makes you feel blessed to be with them and he/she is indeed like a gift from God.:) finally, a meaningful song from super junior. :P
3sa's brother, PIZZA, is turning 1 this july.. pizza pizza 1 yr old! haha, she's gona complain if she see this XD but i dont care. Pizza is a nice name!

hihihi it's half way through the mid yr exams, the exam when i lost my interest and purpose of studying. so i bet i'm gona be on the top of the list of meet the parent session. not only because of my register number okay.. 2 more papers next week, a day's break and sch's back to how it used to work...
The rain seem to be affecting my lousy old modem, the internet thingy, i can't play games properly with serene, can't watch music videos properly, read my manga properly. All i can do now is type a blog entry offline and post it when the internet's back :S ... BUT, my bro said that we're gona change the modem sooon cos our contract is up~~~ yea! i heard that it'll be much faster than it is now, i do hope that the disconnecting issue gets solved too. :)
alrighty. song song song, CNBlue's song, not because that there's a blue in it that's why i like their songs okay.. haha.
The lyrics are kinda negative and gives a rocker feel. love this part of the song...wetoriya~ wetoriya...which mean I'M A LONER I'M A LONER~ hahah
although i was corrected by the google serach that it was supposed to be pronounced as oetoriya, but who cares... and the lead singer, the 'emotional' guy is one of the actors in the drama You're Beautiful, yuan2 lai2 shi4 mei3 nan2. i didn know until i saw one video which featured him on a variety show.. BUT seriously, the way he looks near the 2nd half of the song and in the video that i saw him, he really looks very different from how he looks in the drama. It's a hyper active and talkative kid versus a solemn man.
Another favourite of mine is LOVE by CNBLUE, cos there's some parts of I'm a loner in it. And the song sounds happy to me. :D The funny part abt the music video is that when the members went in the bar was like dead, then when they started to play their music everyone came alive.. haha, trying to propagandize that their music is great.. LOL
But honestly I really think they're good, the 2 lead vocals of CNBLUE have great voices as heard from the videos, hope that it's not because of technology's help.... haha
