my darling did a song presentation with the choir backing him today. not that i didn’t already know this, and not that i hv any credit to take, but he sang so well and i’m so proud of him. (:
smile. beam. swoon.
*swoons*
(:
update: this ‘funny’ happened on my fb. he is be shameless. :P
hahaa..
couple of days ago, i scheduled for a lunch with 2 ladies and adr in one of the sch canteens. one of the ladies couldn’t make it so it was just 3 of us in the end. t’was an enjoyable lunch as i got to catch up with YT and get to know her a little better. over lunch, adr mentioned tt he posted a song on his FB profile. this he thought was a great song and i do agree – i actually saw the link in office before coming down to the canteen. heh!
今天的我，比昨天的我更想你。
今天的我，卻勝不了明天的自己。
告訴我下一步該往哪去，才能減少我們之間的距離？這分鐘的我，比上一分鐘更疼你。
這一秒的我，卻輸給了下一秒的自己。
等這一首歌輕輕的唱到最後，我已經比開始唱歌的時候，更深愛你。
my, oh, my! a friend posted this on twitter and i am so inspired to pick up keyboards all over again.
i need to be doing a lot more than playing for fun to justify this purchase though. *hmmmm*
that’s what i think about me now – greedy. i had another fabulous weekend, in contrast to the many emo ones before this. i am grateful, but also find myself asking for more and not wanting the wkend to end.. not wanting the new week to start. actually, now that i counted, i realize tt every weekend for the past 5 weeks hv been great and fabulous in one way or another. see.. i am really greedy.

last sat, we brought the seow kids out to catch “UP”. it was a great time out with them, but i didn’t whip out my camera at all. zach fell ill halfway thru the outing. good thing we managed to bring the children bk without too much hassle. they enjoyed the show, we enjoyed their company. (:

last sun was spent with friends and the SSO at botanic gardens. the music was so good the birds were dancing to it. we bought a whole bunch of stuff impromptu from marketplace tanglin mall for our picnic since we had no time for shopping/cooking prior. not too shabby for a last-min assembled picnic.
post-concert, we had famous rojak and regular tze-char at holland area. hung out for so long at dinner spot that we witnessed coffeeshop go from uber crowded to sparsely populated. we then adjourned to coffee bean for further hangout. we didn’t head home till near midnight. all the teachers amongst us didn’t hv to wake up early the next day, it was almost liberation to them. that following monday, i was hit by the most serious monday blues yet. but i managed. *sigh of relief*
* * * * *
this weekend tt just past was, too, event-filled. (: we started with the dead sea scrolls exhibition with the cg on fri. we had a mini-adventure of sorts prior to that, what with parking at UE square, dinner at liang court, and walking the remaining journey to the arts house from there. *sweat* my heels almost killed me there. but as he would say, i could have worn flats instead. bleah.
exhibition was alright – content is good, informative and important. however, much more be desired for presentation/layout/display.
supper after was more fun than the exhibition. really enjoyed the fellowship with the cg. we found tt the few of us have got some strange animal-sound-related ‘talent’ or some ‘brokenness’ about us. *chirp²* (bwahaha) i hvn’t quite found mine though. :P
* * * * *
saturday started off with WiC for me, and morning jog for him (i believe). we then headed to JB with 3 other friends and had a fab time there. hung out at Bt Indah Jusco the whole time and brought back loads of shoppin’! i bought enough mooncakes to last me for the next year. granted not all are for me, but still – so sick of choosing kueh bulan. :P
we decided to come bk home for dinner so we headed back after getting starbucks to-go. we got bk and had dinner at this almost ancient restaurant. great food, wonderful company.
* * * * *
and finally, today was enjoyable and fruitful too. it has been a long time since we attended svc without having to rush about or serve. we bumped into one another at the carpark, so didn’t have to call each other. reduced stress there for me, and hence him. :P we signed up for BTW after svc, and he even had time for a leisurely lunch, which we shared with ben, sharon and linus. (:
post-lunch was auditions and prac for christmas carolling. ben, sharon and i joined in and we had our own sectionals. heh! after which, we adjourned to taman jurong macs for drink/snacks. finally, we crossed over to the claypot tur-kwa + porridge chinese restaurant for our dinner. noteworthy: it’s quite the pseudo crystal jade of a place, except cheaper and more out of the way. this time, however, the tur-kwa experience was not as happening as the last.. may not wanna come back anytime soon.
with that, the very nice weekend came to an end. /: this heightens the likelihood of major monday blues. i thought i had the most serious bout of it last monday. think i’m in for worse tomorrow. yikes!!
my consolation? i look very much forward to the one-week break away from all things and everyone. can’t wait!
part two of documenting these songs. this be a little different; i just like the sweet, romantic bits. wish he’d serenade me with this. *swoon* i might just die. keke.
lovely song from the 90s resurfaced. i couldn’t find a video clip with decent audio recording i liked, hence this ‘wordy’ one. enjoy the song anyways. (:
«The Last Night Of The World»
In a place that won’t let us feel
In a life where nothing seems real
I have found you
I have found you
In a world that’s moving too fast
In a world where nothing can last
I will hold you
I will hold youOur lives will change when tomorrow comes
Tonight our hearts drown the distant drums
and we have music all right
tearing the nightA song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
played on a solo saxophone
It’s telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it’s the last night of the worldOn the other side of the earth
There’s a place where life still has worth
I will take you
I’ll go with you
You won’t believe all the things you’ll see
I know ’cause you’ll see them all with meIf we’re together that’s when
we’ll hear it againA song
played on a solo saxophone
A crazy sound, a lonely sound
A cry that tells us love goes on and on
Played on a solo saxophone
It’s telling me
to hold you tight
and dance like it’s the last night of the worldDreams
they were all I ever knew
Dreams
you won’t need when I’m through
Anywhere
we may be
I will sing with you
a song…A song played on a solo saxophone
So stay with me
and hold me tight
and dance
like it’s the last night of the world
sometimes, i identify so much with certain songs tt i wish some parts of it would materialize in my own life. here is one of those. to hear the song, please head to bevlyn’s myspace webbie and click on “When I’m 80”.
«當我八十歲»
當我八十歲的時候 你還會不會這樣疼我
睡前聽我述說那一天 所有經過
當我輕揉你的耳朵 你還會不會這樣囉嗦
你還會不會聽見我說 說些什麼當我八十歲的時候 你還會不會牽我的手
帶我到世界各地旅遊 漫步走走
透過弄人的眼角膜 你還會不會逗我酒渦
繼續寫情書記載所有 愛我的感受哦 別說什麼
哦 這樣就足夠我愛你的理由 混淆在習慣之中 像夏天的氣候
陰晴不定 不說出口 也能懂
你愛我的理由 你說過會到永久 像倔強的執著
陪我到白頭 不放手當我八十歲的時候 隨著記憶力漸漸退弱
找不找到回憶的下落 把我封鎖
當我們被時間左右 還有多少爭吵能揮霍
把所有年幼的小差錯 都編成小說哦 別說什麼
哦 這樣就足夠我愛你的理由 混淆在習慣之中 像夏天的氣候
陰晴不定 不說出口 也能懂
你愛我的理由 你說過會到永久 像倔強的執著
陪我到白頭 不放手當我八十歲的時候 你還會不會這樣愛我
彎著腰也要吻我額頭 直到我睡後
new song that i adore. had trouble getting a link last week, but it’s here now. (: kept hearing “fallen for you” on radio earlier; turns out it is actually fallin’ for you.
enjoy!
I don’t know but
I think i maybe
Fallin’ for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe i should
Keep this to myself
Waiting ’til i
Know you betterI am trying
Not to tell you
But i want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So i’m hiding what i’m feeling
But i’m tired of
Holding this inside my headI’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now i found ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for youAs i’m standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It’s just you and meI’m trying
Not to tell you
But i want to
I’m scared of what you’ll say
So i’m hiding what i’m feeling
But i’m tired of
Holding this inside my headI’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now i found ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for youOh i just can’t take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning outI’ve been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’ve been waiting all my life
And now i found ya
I don’t know where to
I think i’m fallin’ for you
I’m fallin’ for you
I think i’m fallin’ for youI’m fallin’ for you
