perspectives.
it's always refreshing/enlightening talking to someone for the first time. there's always something to take away with you at the end of the conversation.
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on
You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Lent
these days i'm finding it harder to get up in the mornings. the weather has been too conducive for sleeping, and i seriously have no doubts that i can just hibernate the entire winter away. rainy mornings and jam-packed tubes are reasons enough to not wake up and go to school. peak hour tubes are just horrible, and after 3 weeks of hiatus and i am reminded once again how it feels like to be squashed in an over-filled tube carriage. only canned sardines would understand the feeling.
this morning, while being pushed, my earphone fell off my right ear. the funny thing was i could find no room to move my left hand to pick it up from my right arm and put it back to my ear. the guy opposite me witnessed the incident, and was kind enough to help pick up my earphone from my right arm. i guessed the amusement he derived from watching me trying to fish my earphone was enough to repay his kindness.
so much for trying to live london as much as possible now.

i tried recalling something significant that i have done in the first half of 2007, and nothing came to mind. and i wondered if i have wasted year 2 away.
there have been many disappointments in 2007, and each of them has led me to discover a little bit more about myself. 2007 actually started with me shedding tears, and crying is something that i rarely do. so when that happens it means i really cried from my heart. it wasn't something bad that happened. it was just because i was reminded of a feeling that i detested so much in the past.
perhaps to complete the picture, 2007 ended with me tearing again. but this time for a different reason. for a really small gesture. for something that really touched my heart. and it made me realised that in the eyes of my family, i will always be their little girl.
before you start wondering if 2007 had been a crappy year for me, let me clarify. there have been many kodak moments in 2007, it's just that i dont know where to begin. but i guess none of you are missing out on much, since most of my happiest memories invovle you guys. for all the good things that happened in 2007, i am thankful for them. for all the good memories that i have of 2007, i am grateful to those who have a role in them.
it isn't what happened, but rather why it happened that matters.
