Coffee and Cigarettes

hur. what a heart wrenching song.

but i like. =/

do you have a suggestion?

people are coming back from easter break,
cars are filling up the parking lots.

goodbye tranquility.

my 3-in-1 counter.

cant wait!

i need you so much closer

i've been too lazy to blog for the past few weeks. getting way too comfortable with my newfound source of free music and endless junk food [think chocolate fondue and crunchy nut] from morrisons. what's new?

anyway, some updates. i'll be heading back to sg on the 30th may, which means it's only about 46 more days to go till i can finally go home. [i managed to reschedule my flight 'cause exam ends on the 24th.]

but firstly, i'll have to tackle my first major exam here in 32 days' time. =/

tick tock, tick tock. time is running out.

Tristan Prettyman - Shy That Way w/J Mraz - Live At Lestat's

i love the performance and song.

someday, somehow, in some town, perhaps?

a day, wasted

i know i should probably do something constructive instead of blog surfing, friendster-ing [yes, i know. im outdated. people are facebooking now and im still stuck w friendster.], watching house and just simply indulging in my own laziness.

but well, notice i said probably.

the excessive thoughts on my mind are making me really restless and dissatisfied. but the real trouble is that i can't let them out of my mind. there seem to be a gap between thoughts in my mind and my ability to express them. most of the time, they don't come out. and even if they do, it's just not rightly conveyed. so they're just trapped inside my mind, waiting in vain for liberation.

i hate the feeling of inadequacy.

updates, like finally

easter break will start on this friday!! hurray! no more lab reports, essays, 9 am lectures, practicals, whatever for the next month! =D and i'll be travelling with the usual people again on the third week. muahaha. ((:

by the way, if you don't already know, i'll be going back for summer holidays on the 6th of june! i really can't wait. it's been awhile...... )):

hmm. maybe i'll write up a to-do list for easter and summer hols for motivation when i'm done with my essay and lab report (which are due tmr). =/

Cosy in The Rocket

one of those songs that i just can't seem to get it out of my system.. oh yeah, ignore the slide show. enjoy the song!

tolerance

my friends usually tell me that i have almost no temper and (relatively) high tolerance for stuff like noise and irritating people. but i don't think that's strictly true; i only have a high threshold for people whom i love and care for. i'll always try my very best to accept the imperfections in my friends, that's the least that i can do for them. and it's not like i'm perfect. i know that i'm irritating (at times only, i hope) and definitely far from perfection. so i guess what's important is not who is more irritating or irritated. it's more about being truthful and accepting, not putting up with, the flaws.

what do you think?

a' levels

GOOD LUCK all the people out there collecting their A' level results on fri. (((:

ARGH

feel like going home. ):

Thinking About You - Norah Jones

Yesterday I saw the sun shinin',
And the leaves were fallin' down softly,
My cold hands needed a warm, warm touch,
And I was thinkin' about you.

Vindicated

hectic mess

YAY.

i finally finished my work thats due on monday. now i can really enjoy my chinese new year weekend. there's no way my cny this year would be as enjoyable as previous celebrations (in sg). but i'm really thankful to have some close friends to celebrate cny with. ((: im really looking forward to the steamboat tonight. its like a "reunion" dinner and a real break from my never ending work (for now).

more updates later. =D

And it's been here
Silent all these years..

sarcasm?

just thought that this lecturer has quite a quirky and sarcastic sense of humour.

Dear Sutdents,

Firstly I apologise for the inadequate lecture this morning: gross anatomy without illustration is about as useful as an empty picture frame.

I and several of my colleagues have complained about the apalling condition of this lecture theatre and the unreliable and inadequate audio visual aids on a number of occasions - the complaints result in temporary patch up jobs that self evidently don't last.

The fact that neither the digital projector nor the slide projector worked this morning shows how the place is out on a limb and forgotten: moreover, they have removed the emergency link telephone to the AV techs (who are all based in Roger Stevens).

As you are aware, the illumination from the digital projector is pitifull even when its working.

How much are you all paying in top - up fees - and how much would it cost to replace the computer and digital projector with ones that work satisfatorily and provide an emegency link to the IT techs?

I would encourage all of you, individually, to take a little time to vent your dissatisfaction with the people who timetable modules and those who mastermind the provision - unfortunately I cannot find a NAME for the latter.

However, if you all e-mail Lisa Whiteley L.Whiteley@leeds.ac.uk
and copy in mediaservices@leeds.ac.uk
We may, with luck, get something done about it or a move to a theatre that is fit for purpose.

If they take no notice of the teaching staff maybe they will take notice of the paying "customers".

Yours

Alan

she wants to be like the water

Every time after varsity volleyball training, I’ll feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. I miss playing volleyball in Singapore, with my old team mates. The unspoken understanding and silly jokes on/off court, the friendships forged over the years. They’re simply irreplaceable. Sometimes, I find myself in search for that intangible feeling i miss so much. But I know I can never ever turn back time to experience the feeling of fulfilment and satisfaction during/after competitions and trainings. It’ll always be part of me but, sadly, I can never come close to experiencing all these again. Just like how water in a stream can never be exactly the same as before - it keeps moving on, never looking back at anything. Maybe I should be glad just to have those fond memories. Maybe.

sigh.

Breathe - Michelle Branch

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain
You say I've been driving you crazy
and its keeping you away
So just give me one good reason
Tell me why I should stay
'Cause I dont wanna waste another moment
in saying things we never meant to say

And I Take it just a little bit
I, hold my breath and count to ten
I, I've been waiting for a chance to let you in

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe

Well it's all so overrated
In not saying how you feel
So you end up watching chances fade
And wondering what's real

And I Give you just a little time
I, Wonder if you realize
I've been waiting till I see it in your eyes

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
If I just breathe
Breathe

So I whisper in the dark,
Hoping you hear me
Do you hear me?

If I just breathe
Let it fill the space between
I'll know everything is alright
Breathe,
Every little piece of me
You'll see
Everything is alright
Everything is alright if i just breathe... breathe

I've been driving for an hour
Just talking to the rain

Littlest Things - Lily Allen

Sometimes I find myself sittin' back and reminiscing
Especially when I have to watch other people kissin'
And I remember when you started callin' me your miss's
All the play fightin', all the flirtatious disses
I'd tell you sad stories about my childhood
I dont why I trusted you but I knew that I could
We'd spend the whole weekend lying in our own dirt
I was just so happy in your boxers and your t-shirt

[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of you and me
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you have the same dreams too.

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
That the things are reminding me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?

Drinkin' tea in bed
Watching DVD's
When I discovered all your dirty grotty magazines
You take me out shopping and all we'd buy is trainers
As if we ever needed anything to entertain us
the first time that you introduced me to your friends
and you could tell I was nervous, so you held my hand
when I was feeling down, you made that face you do
no one in the world that could replace you

[Chorus]
Dreams, Dreams
Of when we had just started things
Dreams of me and you
It seems, It seems
That I can't shake those memories
I wonder if you feel the same way too

The littlest things that take me there
I know it sounds lame but its so true
I know its not right, but it seems unfair
That the things remind me of you
Sometimes I wish we could just pretend
Even if for only one weekend
So come on, Tell me
Is this the end?
