Adjusting my mind-set.

The results will be released at 2.30 PM tomorrow.

I can choose to be happy or upset.

It's times like this, you don't know how fortunate you are to be alive, with friends around. I'm feeling a little worried now. You don't know how fortunate you are, with no share of doing the housework...

Perhaps I should just camp inside a library for the next 3 months and spend my time studying, to compensate for my slacking this few months. Also, I feel I need the jumpstart...

Unworthy Thoughts. (Hopelessness.)

Life is a blur... like cars speeding across the expressway. Sometimes you'd just wish you could crash...

I dunno how to describe events lately.

I hope I have not invested my feelings in the wrong person. Shucks. It just depends on how much you feed those feelings. How is the receiver at the other end? Doesn't feel a thing. Maybe I should play some games to rid of the loneliness. Occupy my thoughts elsewhere. Go out. Go running. Bury my head in the books. Practise guitar. Sing some dumb songs.

So many things to keep me busy.
"Don't let a girl steal your soul or you'll have nothing left to offer..."

'Kid A' is a strong, depressing album.

Evaluation.

The 'O' Level results are going to be out in 2 weeks time. This spells doom for me... I'm just anticipating it as it comes.

Still... be a brave man, there's no running away from it.

What courses should I apply for in Poly? How should I chart my course? What's the next step? Should I resit for my 'O' Levels? All of these... in a blur.

My friends - so what if they do better than me? You reap what you sow!!

All of it, follows the results. Be prepared for the worst... :|

The Scientist

I've been busy at a midi. I'm sorry I don't have time for everyone. All apologies!

The adventures of a sick person.

Coldplay clinched the "Record of the Year" at the Grammys with Clocks. The award was dedicated to the late country singer Johnny Cash, and US Senator John Kerry.

This morning I woke up and didn't go to school. I went to Marine Parade Polyclinic... There was a long queue. I wasted about 2 hours there, staring into space. I was desperate for an MC, when I only caught a cold and had a minor sore throat. (I could have sworn I was sneezing again and again since yesterday morning)

Because the numbers were not called in sequence, I dare not venture away. Time slips away slowly...

INTO THE WEST (exit music for ROTK).

Words and Music by Fran Walsh, Howard Shore, Annie Lennox
Performed by Annie Lennox


Lay down,
Your sweet and weary head...
Night is falling,
You have come to journey's end...

Sleep now,
Dream - of the ones who came before...
They are calling,
From across a distant shore...

Why do you weep?
What are these tears upon your face?
Soon you will see,
All your fears will pass away...

Safe in my arms,
You're only sleeping...

(Chorus)
What can you see, on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
Across the sea, a pale moon rises...
The ships have come to carry you home...

And all will turn to silver glass...
A light on the water...
All souls pass...

Hope fades into the world of night...
Through shadows falling out of memory and time...

Don't say,
We have come now to the end...
White shores are calling,
You and I will meet again...

And you'll be here in my arms,
Just sleeping...


(Repeat Chorus)

Spellbinding. No - I don't really understand what it means.

When you wake up from a dream, you looked dazed.

My favourite song...

is Coldplay, Yellow... =)
and God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Green Eyes, The Scientist, Clocks... =)

from Radiohead... Let Down, Karma Police, Fake Plastic Trees, Creep, Anyone Can Play Guitar, How To Disappear Completely, Idioteque, In Limbo, Motion Picture Soundtrack, Knives Out, Morning Bell, The Pyramid Song, Sail To The Moon, Go To Sleep, I Will, There there, Punchup At A Wedding, Scatterbrain, Wolf At The Door...

and The Cranberries...

Hahaha. What a joke.

(6/2)
Radiohead have no 'love songs' except for 'Creep' and songs I don't know back in "The Bends" era. This probably attributed to their low popularity over here... Radiohead are a staunch political band...

So is Coldplay. But they have 'love songs' like Shiver, Sparks, Yellow, (would you agree that it has a sexual theme? haha! Its true!) The Scientist, (a good 'drunken-lovesick' song) Clocks, Green Eyes...

Cool song!! Rocks!! Lyrics HERE.

Scorpio Rox.

I got this from an email. =)

"DO'S
Scorpio's are full of passion and zest for life. They have tremendous drive that can involve you too. Tune in to their wavelength and you can enjoy the harmony and music of life with them. Scorpio's are loyal and never forget a kind deed done by you. If you want to enjoy life with your Scorpio lover, share their passion and intensity and you will be fascinated by how beautiful life can be with them.

DON'TS
Scorpio's are very passionate and intense but they are also fiercely possessive and would like to possess your mind, body and soul. Do not let seeds of jealousy grow in them because then you may have to suffer agonies of jealousy and discontentment in life. Scorpio's have explosive tempers – be careful how you handle them. They never let anyone know what is going on in their mind till they strike and you may be caught unawares. Do not flirt around in the presence of your Scorpio lover."

Middle-earth in Millenia Institute.

(OPENING MUSIC.)

(Title.)
The Two Towers...

(29/1)
In the distance, as seen from the windows (on the left side) of the Classroom B403 was Orthanc, Isengard, dwelling of the evil wizard Saruman. (Ulu Pandan incineration plant.) The uplifted grassy bloc of a fitness corner resembles the Shire, Hobbiton... The soccer field in the rain, with many puddles - the Dead Marshes. To the right windows at the front corner of the classroom, we can see Bukit Timah dressed in a little cloud. It is known as Baradur, Sauron's stronghold in Mordor. What? It may also be considered Minas Tirith... or Helms Deep... Anything goes. Nah. It does not have the dramatic intensity of Mt Doom.

We are in the kingdom of Rohan. Bukit Timah Primary School forms Gondor. All around us were private homes. The lands of Rohan and Gondor were sandwiched between Isengard and Mordor... Orthanc and Baradur... Our canteen is the stables. Yeah, why? Noisy! That's why. Our thousand strong horsemen, stableboys, and the women and children, including those from primary school...

So, it fits.

I am lame kid. (The ring is mine.)

Flaws. (The downside of life.)

I gotten rid of that "Anti-Social" Gollum inside me... Ah!! Smeagol back to normal...

I am a "stressed person"... My guitar teacher says I am too anxious. He says I should take up yoga! Perhaps he's hinting that I cannot make it. I am clumsy - I have no control over my fingers... Then I get the feeling I had over the past two years. Stress. For real. Stress which I can't feel, but it's ever present. Like a spell placed over me, I feel my breath quickening...

For stress, there are always underlying causes. I can identify internal factors such as "poor management of time, doing things at the last minute," and external factors "lack of support, bad luck..."

"erm... Yoga?"

...

Gollum: so for all the above, go ahead and hate me!

Smeagol: invest some confidence in me! I will try to change, as far as Smeagol is concerned...
