Not for the Hungry People

Have a brand new blog : http://damtan.livejournal.com. This blog would be more for memories sake.

A very nice song indeed..

[Verse] 
If I were a boy 
Even just for a day 
I’d roll outta bed in the morning 
And throw on what I wanted then go 
Drink beer with the guys 
And chase after girls 
I’d kick it with who I wanted 
And I’d never get confronted for it. 
Cause they’d stick up for me. 

[Chorus]
If I were a boy 
I think I could understand 
How it feels to love a girl 
I swear I’d be a better man. 
I’d listen to her 
Cause I know how it hurts 
When you lose the one you wanted 
Cause he’s taken you for granted 
And everything you had got destroyed 

[Verse] 
If I were a boy 
I would turn off my phone 
Tell everyone it’s broken 
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone 
I’d put myself first 
And make the rules as I go 
Cause I know that she’d be faithful 
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home) 

[Chorus] 
If I were a boy 
I think I could understand 
How it feels to love a girl 
I swear I’d be a better man. 
I’d listen to her 
Cause I know how it hurts 
When you lose the one you wanted (wanted) 
Cause he’s taken you for granted (granted) 
And everything you had got destroyed 

[Vamp1] 
It’s a little too late for you to come back 
Say its just a mistake 
Think I’d forgive you like that 
If you thought I would wait for you 
You thought wrong 

But you’re just a boy 
You don’t understand 
Yeah you don’t understand 
How it feels to love a girl someday 
You wish you were a better man 
You don’t listen to her 
You don’t care how it hurts 
Until you lose the one you wanted 
Cause you’ve taken her for granted 
And everything you have got destroyed 
But you’re just a boy

Life is not always a bed of roses, but frankly speaking, i am really glad to have know you.
You gave me the support and encouragement that i needed to pass through.

These 2 years plus was a long and winding road i would say. There are ups and downs, just like a roller coaster ride.
But i guess life still goes on. Hope to remain as friends.

My love, we have seen it all
The Endless confession,The rise and fall
As fragile as a child
But lately I'm sorry I can't hold a smile

But I stand tall to get by
No matter how hard I try to hide
Did you know I take the time for you
Did you know that I would see you through
Did you know that I would play the part
I must've made it clear right from the start

On fri was my off day, but went to do some work for the retreat on sat. Then heard news that my maternal's uncle had passed away. Went back home and then took mummy to hospital to see him for last time. Spent almost the whole day there.

Then come back and pack to work on Sat to Batam. The mood that was set to go Batam was not that well as i was feeling quite sad that my uncle passed away but work is work, i had to go for tat retreat. Going to batam with them makes me feel that i am their tour guide. Haiz, but what to do?

1st day passed, quite disturbing and tiring.
2nd day, the real work.
3rd day, shopping at Nagoya shopping centre. Bought 3 adidas shirt. :P

Came back straight away and S called me to ask to pass me a orange jelly. Was quite sour but nice. Thanks for the thought :)
Went to the last night of the wake straight from harbour and then went home late.
Went to Bright Hill Temple to send him off the last time and it's just over. Life is sometimes so fragile. I actually felt glad that my uncle passed away as he had been suffering a lot from dialysis. All the holes on his arms and he actually became smaller and smaller sized as time goes by. Rest well my uncle.

Worked on wed. Had news that Maternal's grandma went to A&E.
We never dared to break the news to her that her eldest son had passed away. So we kept the secret till now. She is now better in a normal ward.

On Sat and sun, worked for both days.
Folk dance event on sat, farm tour on sun.

Met up S and had lunch at Parco Bugis (19/10/08).


After that, watched movie with J . "Tropic Thunder" was downright hilarious.

After that, dinner at Maison's (if i never get the wrong spelling),



After that had drink at TCC.
Then home.

On 22/10/08, went with S to taka to walk and shop.


202/203

Went to KL and Malacca with S, SH and J.

Descriptions:
Happy, excited, walking, tired, hungry, full, shopping, enjoying, famished, relaxing, fun, disappointing, angry, exhausted.

After so long of not blogging, i am back. My computer had been down since dunno when.. Will blog tomolo.

Before i went to load all the pictures that i took from Malacca and KL, guess would like to talk about my trip. It was found but the most disappointing news is that we had our luggages stolen from the car booth when we went for a stopover in Ayer Keroh (that's our best guess). Not the most disappointed about bags stolen but disappointed with the real reputation of malaysia's safety.
It has always been heard that who or who had been robbed in kl. 

Like my previous case with a grassroots leader, she was practically "dragged" by a motorcylist in KL outside Hotel Imperial and she had to stay in KL cause the passport was lost.

 Anyway, all our 4 bags were stolen and it is just really sad to hear of such things happening so often at our neighbouring countries. Guess must really think once, twice or thrice before driving to malaysia. Hmm, on the other hand, maybe just don't go to Malaysia at all. With so many cases of theft and robbery, why go all the way to Malaysia to shop when you can just do it in Singapore?

On Monday and tues, work pm shift.
On Wed, it was supposed to be a holiday but i had to work half day. Went to a children's day celebration event.

1 lucky kid walked away with a PSP.

On Thurs, worked am shift. Go to gym after work.
On Fri, went out with mummy to collect photos taken from studio, then go see doctor due to sore throat then go meet S.
Had dinner at Crystal Jade.


Each had a bowl of 拉面 and shared 煎包 and S had the 2 glutinous rice balls in ginger soup.
After that, walk walk then go home.

On Sat, worked half day cause i got MC and stayed at home.
On Sun, went to work in am for an event. Went to kent ridge park, temple and hawker centre.

After that went to meet S, J and SH and Sapphi for a picnic at SBG (Singapore Botanic Gardens).


Sapphi was terrified with the swans. Maybe it's because she was about the size as them. Saw a huge turtle. Most importantly, no mosquito bites. :)

After that went to put Sapphi at J's place then go to orchard to walk walk.


S had the 8 treasure tea, i had iced redbean with grass jelly, J had the cold soya bean and SH had the warm one.
Then ate fried calamari, carrot cake and pig's intestines.

After that, time to head home. What a tiring week.

Pink is back with a new addictive single titled "So What". Kinda frustrating for her as this are her feeligns after divorce with the husband. Can't wait for the new album on Oct 28th. On the other hand, Jay Chou is back with a new album soon!





Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na

I guess i just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So i'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (Nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And i'm gonna wear it tonight
I wanna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I wanna start a fight

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rockstar
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Uh, check my flow, uh

The waiter just took my table
And gave to Jessica Simp- Shit!
I guess i'll go sit with drum boy
At least he'll know how to hit
What if this song's on the radio
Then somebody's gonna die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
He's gonna start a fight
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
We're all gonna get in a fight!

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

You weren't there
You never were
You weren't all
But thats not fair
I gave you life
I gave my all
You weren't there
You let me fall

So so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done (we're done)
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright(I'm alright),I'm just fine (I'm just fine)
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

No No, No No
I Don't want you tonight
You weren't there
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright, I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And i don't want you tonight

Ba da da da da da

"Better the devil you know" is one of my favourite songs from Kylie. But my motto is not "to forgive and forget" but "forgive but don't forget". "Locomotion" is just so mind blank but mindlessly fun. :)

"I Believe In You" had such a christmas feeling when it was out and it was nice. "The one" from this latest album seems so much like a follow-up to it. :)

My favourite songs recently:

Alanis Morissete - Underneath
Maroon 5 - Won't go home without you
Mamma Mia Movie - Super trouper (from ABBA).

Very different genres of songs but they are my favourite recently. :)

My favourite song in Kylie's album is finally here! 
Especially love this part
"Can you hear me, i'm connecting with you. Can you feel me, i'll do anything to have you near me. I was wondering will you reach me?" So suitable for nokia (i.e connecting people)
