the promise - tracy chapman
If you wait for me then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
If you'll be waiting
I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting
Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me and say you'll hold
A place for me in your heart.

i going to talk about my life with the guitar!
as naive i was at the time, i thought that my guitar wasn't good. so... i got my mother to buy a Squire electric guitar pack for me (meaning it included an electric guitar, an amplifier, some picks, a strap and gig bag; the gig bag sucked anyway, its the worst i've/u've ever seen, trust me). i got it at sweelee at bras besah in 2004 (sec 2). so it layed in my home. of course there is the temporary craze over it. but it wore off in weeks. it was left lying there. subsequently, my friends whom knew i had an electric, borrowed it. after since, it was found mostly in my friends' house. friends because there were afew people who borrowed it. i lent it out because i wasn't using it anyways but really, i didn't want to lend to anyone at all because those friends were not really spontaneous in returning stuff. anyways, it came back recently with a broken amplifier. there was a sweelee sale the other day, i went and bought a Laney amp. it was kinda big and heavy so i dialled a cab and went home with. the sweelee warehouse is in a very ulu place. got it for 150 dollars at 50% off. original price was 300 dollars. so i guess it was kinda a good deal. i didn't manage to get my money back for the broken amp. some friends eh? i hate to ask people for money, i think money spoils relationships as the chinese saying goes 'jiang qian shang gan qing'. so oh well... nevermind. forget it.
i got my next guitar i think in secondary 3. it's a TGM acoustic, i'm unsure of what it means but my friend says it means 'the guitar man'. i got it for... err.. 65 dollars i think. it's lying in the guitar bag now with one string broken. i tuned the string the wrong way and well it broke. hahaha!.... anyway, u must have thought, at time i had already neglected my electric guitar, why did i still buy another guitar? it was through pressure from another friend, (i think i get pressured very easily, ha!) but it was good pressure i guess. he came to my house, he started by teaching me afew chords and a strumming pattern. well i practised for awhile, the same thing happened as with the electric guitar, the craze then the cold treatment. at that period of time, i just wanted to know how to play the guitar. but it is a vague statement. how do u define if a person is worthy of being said 'he knows how to play the guitar.' ? back to where i was. the cold treatment. so i stopped playing the guitar with me having no idea how to strum properly. but at that moment i already knew how to read tabs. but of course they are really easy to read, anyone could start reading them in minutes. they're basically the guitar on paper. guitar= 6 strings, tabs = 6 lines. i still remember the first chord progression my friend taught me, G - Em - C and D. that was all i knew.
with so many times of picking up the guitar and giving up. y'all must be wondering how i started
to play the guitar again right?! err.... even ur not, i'll post next time,HAHAHA, thats all for today!
wow, that was really long.
feels kinda weird

SSM today.
After the horrible incident, everything went quite well. then somethin interesting happened. because after awhile all the people who were suppose to serve mr nathan had left. then only left me and celine the captains without waiters. hahaha! i went to clear a guy's table, then i heard him say 'shit, then later she cannot clear', but of course, i know who he was referring to because there was only one person clearing stuff other than me. of course that 'she' was celine. i told celine about it. she said that guy had asked for her number. hahaha! understandable, i think celine is really pretty. but i didn't like the 'shit then later she cannot clear'. are u saying it so loudly so that i would actually put the tray down so that celine can clear it for u? fat hope...
I went to do PD for the last half hour of SSM. went to do with miao hong. walked through engineering school, no business. walk to business school then business start coming in, hahaha! ryun kiat got forced by his classmates to buy my orange pound cake, hahaha! i should sms him to apologise later. the damn cake was 5 dollars, i wouldn't buy it, i hate orange. hahaha! we earned only 15 dollars for walking from TCA to business and back.
at the end of the day, we didn't earn enough to hit our target which was 1400 dollars, it wasn't really our target, it was THEIR target, we didn't set it. we only earned 1320 dollars. 80 dollars short. today was a day of non stop action because of the shortage of manpower. was really really really tired.

The poached pear with sorbe! nice! never knew pear could taste like that.
Not bad, albert suggested going to top table every thursday.... yeahyeah, go until the people are sick of us. go until everyone there know us right? hahaha! but actually, i don't mind. FOR FOOD!!
the time has come again for us to gather and pray that tomorrow will be a good day. tomorrow is friday. no, it is not friday the 13th. it is worse. it is friday the SSM. i'm waiter tomorrow, i don't know what i'm suppose to do except clear trays and plates and bowls. imma go ask around later! hahaha! i get nervous over the smallest stuff. i know being waiter at sugarloaf ain't as bad as being a waiter at top table but.. still i'm rather nervous.
hope tomorrow will be a good day!

vulnerable
Nameless
what has the world done to you?
why do you look upon the world with shady eyes?
has the liar named love called on you?
has betrayal come your way so painfully
that your heart is ladened with steel,
so heavy you can hardly carry
what are you afraid so of?
why have you sealed up your heart so tightly?
is there no room for negotiations?
is there no one worthy enough
to enter your heart like a king
you've been hiding in there all alone behind those cold and lifeless walls
are you waiting for someone to knock on them
and deliver you from all this darkness
he's coming, he was always there
its time to dismantle those plates of steel;
they won't hold forever
let him hold your hand and lead you
it's a wonderful world out there
That pretty face of yours deserves more than a frown

back from chalet finally!
Monday: checked in at 3pm, before that eeling, quanhao, SC came to my house to help with the food. carry to chalet. luckily they came to help if not i'd have been dead. hahaa! my sis helped too. we had dinner at subway. the first time i didn't eat a footer, wasn't really hungry but i did have my double meat again! i ate the subway melt. after that went to get maggi mee etc. thats all for the first day, not much stuff. i slept on the floor, i think peiwen was really nice to have asked to over to the other room to sleep. but then when she woke up me up i was already on the verge of falling asleep loh. after i moved to the other room, they only slept 1 hour later, so very noisy, hahaha! but it was interesting listening to them talk.
Tuesday: i seriously cant tell ya much because i was in school for psycho project. damn. hahhaa. we did the filming of the psycho project in a day. but that one didn't work out. so today went film again. we finished in an hour. not bad sia, quite fast. then it was the BBQ at night. everyone ate alot i think. i guess thisis the HTM culture. hahaha! i slept early that night, while other people went to see bapoks at changi. ask me why? I GOT PSYCHO MEETING THE NEXT DAY. i slept quite peacefully that night. shared a bed with bert. theysaid my snoring was thunderous, and the combination of snorings constituted a symphony. hahaha!
Wednesday: today i had psycho meeting again, went to school edit video with esther, not the one from 07, this esther is from BSG. yongjian couldn't make it. we left after we figured out how to transfer the video and edited everything. BUT it was for naught becasue we refilmed the video in the library cuz the previous video was too noisy. i reached the chalet at 3.30pm, everyone had aleady gone to pulau ubin to play. i did preparations for the steamboat alone until they came at about 7pm. damn sian. no one to talk to, no one helping me. not many people stayed over today, abvout 10 i think, or less.
Thursday: esther smsed us that the video was too noisy so 12.15 we met at the library. of course before that i was still at the chalet, so must cheong home bathe then go tp. i went to get guitar strings after the meeting. after went home, SLEEP. hahaa!
thats all for these few days, too bad we didn't take any photos during the chalet. damn. i hoped everyone enjoyed the chalet! thank you everyone who helped out especially eeling, SC and quanhao! thank you all those who came!!

Cindy's birthday celebration!
Here's a song to share; what happens when guys are bastards
It wasn't really sad the way they said good-bye
Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn't cry
He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away
And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea
To some foreign land
She stayed at home and tried so hard to understand
How someone who had been so close could be so far away
And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn't know what's right
She doesn't know what's wrong
She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long
And she doesn't count the teardrops
That she's cried while he's away
Because she knows deep in her heart
That he'll be back someday
The light's on in the window; she's waiting by the phone
Talking to a memory that's never coming home
She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say
But she'll always be the girl from yesterday
Yeah, she'll always be the girl from yesterday

KILL ME I NEED FOOD!
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
I'm at chalet!
anyway, i'm at NCC chalet now, the great pals from secondary school. great friends. although the chalet was alittle too expensive. hahaa! no choice, because there're not alot of people here. 28 dollars a person and we're not complaining. hahaha! everyone's doing their own stuff now, some cheonging psp, some playing cards, some watch anime and some sleeping. 2 of them have training tomorrow yet they still stayed over. a pity not everyone is here. i guess tomorrow there'll be more people coming. i hope. i went to aranda country to watch the live performances again with alan and wenyong, we shared a jug of tiger beer. too bad we went late, we only heard about 6 songs then they went off. anyway, george is now having chalet at K block and my sis is having her chalet afew rooms away. wtf...? what a coincidence.
my ass is hurting now. sitting on the really hard ground. i don't why it just hurts sitting on the ground here, it seems especially hard. wth. hahaha! i've finished my part of the BESE project already. Dining and Gift giving, i think my parts amounted to about 1500 words already, hahaha! half of the minimum requirement already sia. think i'll need to cut later once i get the rest of the parts from my members. oh yeah something to add to my to do list Basics of entrepreneurship!!!! haven't come up with anything, gonna have to soon, must send grace chia by this week for her to look through.

lots of stuff to do
1. call children's home, anyway, think bringing the children out not feasible anymore, hahaha, it's actually quite expensive to charter a bus. so think we'll be going over to visit the children and play games with them instead.
2. do my BESE report, i've just finished my 'dining' part, hmmm.. or am i finished? hahaha! even if it's not it should be at least 90% lah, i still have my 'gift-giving' part to do, after that i'm done, then they will all send me their parts, stuff everything in, organise, edit, go through it again, wah la! we'll be done with BESE.
3. Psychology project, now rather confusing with one of group members working during the holidays, then dunno how to organise the thing.
4. continue with chalet preparations. sorta settled my budget already actually. some stuff not added in. hope many people will come!
5. pack bag for tomorrow's NCC chalet. bring laptop to do work. sian.
6. i think we're suppose to go out for field trip on our own for the city tour right?? alright, so must remind group mates!
thats all for now, what i can remember anyway.

holidays so far
it's probably too far fetched but well.. i have to start planning how much to rebate the people who are only coming for the BBQ and not staying. from past experiences, these things have been happening since the start of time. today i've been doing work, BESE project, i've learnt not to do things at the last minute, especially since the chalet is on the last week. everyone reading this! faster go do ur projects!! later too much work then cannot come chalet how?! hahaha! i hope the 2h11 people will come too. i hope the chalet will be noisy and full of people! i hope those who can't go, will be able to come. i hope it's not about the money. if it is, they don't have to pass me the money immediately. i'm in no hurry to get the money but i really hope everyone can come for the chalet!!! talking about money, i got 2 chalets this holiday, the first one is NCC chalet which starts on this coming monday until wednesday. BROKE LOH. hahhaah!
i'm calling the children's home tomorrow to check if we could bring the children out to play on wednesday. abit too last minute but yeah... hahaha! cheong! if we are going to bring them out, there'll be alot of stuff to settle. like transportation.. food.. bla bla bla. things like that. my point of view is that it is no point if we just go down to the home and help out. it's not like they couldn't manage. and it's not as if we were going down regularly from then on. if we really wanted to make the kids happy, we should bring them out and play! i hope the home will approve of the visit tomorrow, i thinki should start drafting out a proposal like..... now. hahaha!

This is the reason why Don Henley is my favourite song writer
I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear
But I knew that it would come
An old true friend of ours was talkin' on the phone
She said you found someone
And I thought of all the bad luck,
And the struggles we went through
And how I lost me and you lost you
What are these voices outside love's open door
Make us throw off our contentment
And beg for something more?
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
These times are so uncertain
There's a yearning undefined
...People filled with rage
We all need a little tenderness
How can love survive in such a graceless age
The trust and self-assurance that can lead to happiness
They're the very things we kill, I guess
Pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms
And the work I put between us,
Doesn't keep me warm
I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you, Baby
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I figured out, I have to learn again
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But everything changes
And my friends seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
There are people in your life who've come and gone
They let you down and hurt your pride
Better put it all behind you; life goes on
You keep carrin' that anger, it'll eat you inside
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
But my will gets weak
And my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore
I've been tryin' to get down to the Heart of the Matter
Because the flesh will get weak
And the ashes will scatter
So I'm thinkin' about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

Holidays!
anyway, today i spent the whole day thinking about the chalet. not really the whole day, i slept alot today too. i sent emails to 1H07 and 2H12 through albert. hope everyone can come if not i really will kui ben. i already planned a budget in case of people not being to make it and stuff. i tried to do worst case scenario as much as possible. as much as i want the chalet to be succesful, i can't fork out anymore extra money. at least i try to minimise. i'm paying for everything first. planning is hard work, i think i need to get a confirmed list of people going for the chalet if not shit happens then i end paying for alot of stuff like the way i organised stuff in the past. but it ain't gonna happen this time dammit.
and i just realised.... ALBERT!! WHY U SEND 2H11, THAT EMAIL IS FOR 1H07 AND 2H12 LAH! kao. later they kena frightened come for BBQ also must pay so much then they don't wanna come alrei. i'm gonna go draft out an email for the 2H11 now. hai... then start asking for confirmations.
