To Love You More

Have you ever found a song that curiously fits you perfectly?

I have, thank’s to my friend Owen. Haha.

Some people express their words more perfectly. Well, guess that’s the reason why I’m still a full-time stressed out student blogging while on holiday instead of being a highly paid lyricist.

Here’s the song…

To Love You More by Celine Dion

The lyrics are down here..

Take me back in the arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more

Don’t go you know you will break my heart
She won’t love you like I will
I’m the one who’ll stay
When she walks away
And you know I’ll be standing here still

I’ll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I’m the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can’t let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know

I’ll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I’m the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we’ll find a way

I’ll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I’m the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

Agh.. The lyrics are just so beautiful.

Another song I discovered..

In a Manner of Speaking by Nouvelle Vague

This is the lyrics..

In a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That I could never forget the way
You told me everything
By saying nothing

In a manner of speaking
I don’t understand
How love in silence becomes reprimand
But the way that i feel about you
Is beyond words

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

In a manner of speaking
Semantics won’t do
In this life that we live we only make do
And the way that we feel
Might have to be sacrificed

So in a manner of speaking
I just want to say
That just like you I should find a way
To tell you everything
By saying nothing.

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything

I know, I know, trivial. Like I said before, there’s a reason why there is such category called “Trivial Things” in my blog. And sometimes buffer is necessary, right?

Signing off.

Big and Wasted

Sometimes I can’t understand why some things are put in some places without clear reasons.

Like this thing I found in The Heeren Shops (sometimes confused with HMV, eh?).

Big TV. Screening MTV. Whoa. It must have been years since I tune in MTV. I know, I’m anti-social. But I know YouTube.

When I captured the picture, it was screening Lily Allen’s Alfie. Lily Allen is pretty, the whole video is funny, and the song………

Moving Out….

Again? Yeah.

After about 6 months happily dwelling in this place (FYI, I think I have the nearest place to school to date), I finally got to go again. The landlady doesn’t want to continue the contract, so yeah, here I go.

And now I just got small time to pack up. The mover will come in 2 hours time. And I haven’t finished packed up. And I just finished the damn fun night cycling which hurt my ass like hell. (FYI, night cycling = exhausted)

Last time I didn’t have help. I was so desperate that I called Harry Potter. (no, he didn’t come. sigh)

Today I have Della as my helper. Hehehe. I will appreciate this help forever

So, bye Min Yuan Apartment. I’m so gonna miss you.

And this view I always see whenever I feel down. Reminds me of my purpose of moving to Singapore again.

Oh, I’m moving to Balestier Road btw.

UNSW Asia Closing Down.. Why?

Somehow I’m not really surprised with the news. Maybe I’m heartless. Ha ha ha.

It says that it doesn’t fulfill the expectation of 300 students for the first year. They only got 148. And to make their dream ubercool building come true, they would need more fresh cash injection.

My friend said the reason is that their satellite university style would not work ever. But that’s his opinion and I’ll let him blog by himself. Hehe.

First off, look at this…

Yes, that’s an UNSW Asia ad. I took the picture at February 2nd, 2007. (provided the clock in my cellphone doesn’t cheat me).

Okay, first off. I think the ad is very aesthetically pleasing. Perfect juxtaposition of the model’s half-face and the texts, and the words are visually striking.

BUT.

The next captain of industry.

The next captain of industry? When you enter a university, is that your purpose?

Wouldn’t this be more appealing..

Crying

When there’s a problem, you cry.

Some say it’s a very girl’s thing. (Boys don’t cry, eh?)

And everybody hates a crybaby.

I think crying is not a problem. I prefer to think of it as a natural way to overcome problems. It’s like an automatic mechanism from your body.

On a personal note, I’ve been having this problem since the beginning of my second term. It started to be small, and I thought it was nothing, but it became big. And actually until now I’m not really sure what the problem is. I mean, like, the scope or something. It was something unsure. It was something unpredictable.

Whatever it is, it crushes me down…

But when I am finally able to cry for this problem, I think I have overcome the problem.

Maybe it’s finished, maybe it’s not.
Who knows.

Btw, I think being in gloomy mode makes you creative. In some sense. Like, writing (crazy) songs like crazy. That’s a form of creativity.. Rite???

The Things We Never Say…

We keep close enough
We keep far enough
But I think it’s over
When we’re afraid to talk

The same fear we feel
The same thing we don’t say
The same thing we both understand

No need of words
No need of gestures
We keep silent and we understand

Passing notes, passing looks
We both fear, we both pout
We pretend we don’t know
But inside we understand

The things we never say
The things deep inside

Sometimes feeling doesn’t need to be expressed
Coz we understand…
