Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true
Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good
Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame
Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
I remember VX asking about this song because he thought it was not bad. I didn't think I would be addicted to it more than 2 months later, and that it has been topping music charts for some time now. And it felt so like yesterday. Which reminds me.. I was having a chat with someone ( Delrick was it you? I cannot remember) about those days in army, and they all felt so recent.. Like being a Sissypec warrior at Tekong almost 2 years ago (and still being close with my fellow brothers, or more like brother lately, right Mr Y W Chu?), like it has been 50 weeks since I left Singapore for my first overseas training to Taiwan (and the pictures are still my avatars), like having ORD-ed a good half year ago (and surprisingly missing life in there more with each passing day). I knew I would feel this way even when I just began my count down, that I would hope time turns back and I would snap out of my nightmare (ok actually not that bad a dream), finding myself awakened by the ringing of the (seemingly) useless bell, or even the "pong"s when golfers are trying their putts, lying on my dirty yet cosy bed, with the guys crowding infront of the TV taking turns on the Winning Eleven, or watching their ipods, or Davy's/Keong's/Jason's ever-so-noisy metallics breaking the occasional silence. Argh, what melancholy. I think I've written something similar before, but heck I really needed to do it again.
I think army life has taken over the missing feeling which haunts me everytime I bond with people, and part with them. Specifically NP times. Not that I'm still dwelling over it, (I'm done with it,) but some things, memories in particular, just love to lurk in this particular section of my brain labelled "YESTERDAY". (And if there were such a section, I would love to uncover the hiding place of all my academic knowledge.)
I think I like the word 'lurk'. I think I lurk alot. Like, not very 光明正大, preferring to lurk in the shadows. That's why I'm less prominent. That's why I scare my mum whenever I walk into her room without her knowing. Lol
Quote of the day: Addicted to your opinion.
More like a phrase. Got it from The Kite Runner from Biaoshu (yes I have started reading again =D). I think you should know. Mainly because I cannot find a better word than addicted.
I understand how this written diarrhoea works.
You just can't seem to stop.
You want to continue writing.
And writing.
But somehow, your words just run out.
Even when you still have loads more in your mind.
I like to think I can write as well as Delrick says I do. I like to think I can do well in the stuff I'm supposed/perceived to do well. I like to think I like to think. Well ok actually I don't. More precisely, I think I like to think too much.
Is there a word which has a higher degree than best (other than bestest)?

Being a rather big fan, I must say I'm disappointed with the show. The intro seems very long, the machines have little screen time, and they don't exactly unleash their true power. Actually I can make quite a list, but I decided to elaborate only on some more prominent hits and misses of the movie, and at the same time provide some background information and comparisons (if anyone's interested).
The very first thing that I wanted to take note of when Optimus appeared was actually his voice. I'm glad that it sounds similar enough to the first generation of the cartoon. In fact, "Autobots, transform and roll out" was one of his 口头禅, and I'm actually surprised that they added that in the movie. And regarding the voices of the rest of the cast, I would say they don't resemble their originals at all. Starscream should be high-pitched, and the rest I will not recognize if I were blindfolded.
Still on the sound effects, I missed that mechanical sound they produce when transforming. Apparrently I only caught it once, when the helicopter turned into its humanoid form.
Megatron is missing his trademark cannon on his arm. And he doesn't transform into a plane, instead a pistol.
Ironhide the weapon specialist. In the end I don't see what's so good about his weapons. And Ratchet too, the MO -_- Ratchet's weapon dispensaries are still there though.
When I saw Devastator, I thought the directors love Dune. -_- He was originally a super Transformer, merged by 6 Decepticons called Constructicons. Now he stole the role of Blitzwing, one of the Triple Changers.
The Witwicky dudes are still around! They have come a long way and their names have not changed, although I don't remember a great grandfather.
Prime should have his huge container tagging along behind him.
Last thought: I so want to be a dork. It seems that only dorks get hot girlfriends. HAHA
OK that's enough.. Maybe I just miss the cartoon versions too much.. Hope no one falls asleep while reading lol..
I hope you’re doing fine out there without me
‘Cause I’m not doing so good without you
The things I thought you’d never know about me
Were the things I guess you always understood
So how could I have been so blind for all these years?
Guess I only see the truth through all this fear,
And living without you…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
I can’t take another day without you
‘Cause baby, I could never make it on my own
I’ve been waiting so long, just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
But everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love…
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
As the days grow long I see
That time is standing still for me
When you’re not here
Sorry I can’t always find the words to say
Everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
And everything I had in this world
And all that I’ll ever be
It could all fall down around me.
Just as long as I have you,
Right here by me.
Transport's very very expensive. For the 3 weeks of work, I've spent $100 on the ezlink. Cab fares not included. -_- How am I going to survive school days, especially without income.. Double -_-

Guess what.. I've finished Heroes season 1, House season 3, Prison Break 1 and 2 (just).. Not to mention countless movies. I am so dead. In need of good drama serials.. Recommendations please thanks... (Strictly no Buffy.)
Fortunately work's been good.
"The best way to overcome fear is to expose yourself to it." Not that I didn't know about it, but it just could not register in my brain. Until yesterday. -_-
And I got to comment about this. HENRY IS GONE... GG to Arsenal. GG. Noooo
Oh yes.. Before I forget, I must reiterate my point that I totally CANNOT STAND day-to-day rants on the blog.
"Argh my mum made me bacon sandwich for me for breakfast after I woke up at 7am on the left side of my bed with my blanket and pillow on the floor. My alarm should have rung at 6.59! Back to breakfast. I hate bacon. I would have preferred tuna. Or even crocodile eggs. Then I was late for work.. I took 126 steps from my lift lobby to walk over to the bus stop at the opposite side of my block across the bridge before the traffic junction instead of my usual 124. I must have grown fat. My diet will start today. I shouldn't gain any more weight, so I thought. Instead, I had char kway tiao for lunch and fried carrot cake as a side dish. With lots of hum. They were soooooo juicy and bloody.. MMM I love hum. Then when work ended I headed home on the same bus, except in the opposite direction. This time I counted 121 steps. Or was it 122? I'm thin again! But to my horror when I reached home I felt so heavy I went over to weigh myself on the weighing scale in my bathroom in between the sink and the toiletbowl infront of the bathtub below the mirror and the ceiling light. I discovered I weighed an extra 200 grams! That's a fifth of a kilogram! Or 0.440924494 pound! That's too much! I need to lose weight.. I need to eat less.. I need..." to go to hell. Read until cannot take it also. -_- I think I cannot fully imitate, but I did enjoy making up all that crap. Haha.. Cheap thrill..
Mercurial me.. -_______-
