A single thread in a tapestry
Though its colour brightly shines
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design
And the stone that sits on the very top
Of a mountain's mighty face
Does it think its more important
Than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life, look at your life through heaven's eyes
Lalalalalalala...
A lake of gold in the desert sand
Is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy
Is greater than the richest king
If a man lose everything he owns
Has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning of
A new and brighter birth?
So how do you measure the worth of a man
In wealth or strength or size
In how much he gained or how much he gave
The answer will come, the answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes
And that's why we share all we have with you
Though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing
There's alot to go around
No life can escape being blown about
By the winds of change and chance
And though you never know all the steps
You must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance
Lalalalalalala...
So how do you judge what a man is worth
By what he builds or buys
You can never see with your eyes on earth
Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life, look at your life, look at your life through heaven's eyes

is it just me or are the hidamaris positioned in a damn vulgar way?...
argh...and to think that after all the disgusting-ness of yesterday I could at least get a decent night's rest...but nooo...my brain just had to freak me out with nightmares...imagine this...you just finished band prac and is spending time babying over your instrument...and this person comes and sits next to you...and for no apparent reason asks "can I kiss you?"...and before you have time to come up with a sarcastic comment...she attempts to kiss you...so you get totally freaked out...and decides to move to another part of the bandroom...then this other person comes up to you, holds your hands and asks the same thing...all the while looking like asking for a kiss was the most normal thing in the world...and before you can run away screaming you get kissed on the lips...yay...I love my f---ed up brain...like how many times in your life can you get kissed in your dreams twice in the same week?...by the same person somemore...either my brain is seriously overworked or by some freak-of-nature I've gotten voodoo-ed upon...boo...
coming back to yesterday...was the first to reach the school in the morning...only to find that the teachers bolted the top lock of the bandroom door...yay...spent like 45 mins outside getting bitten by mosquitoes before momo finally found someone to open the damned door...was quite pissed off with the sucky teachers...anyway band prac wasn't any much better...not so much as the playing but the poor ventilation...almost died of heat...the aircons are seriously not working...after that was lunch...which was quite uneventful other than when these people came up to us and stuffed NKF magnets into our hands...for no apparent reason...hooz...and bridget went on a section-batch lunch too *ahem*...yeah...after which we came back to school and I got abandoned by my section-batch cause they had tuition and I had nothing...the trombones adopted me for most of that time between lunch and combined prac (with the small exception of 5 mins when fengyi came to adopt me)...bombi's back from india...I really really tried to miss her =)...anyway she wanted to go for combined...which was wierd...like doesn't she have jet-lag or something?...maybe bombis have too much energy and enthusiasm =D...haha...saw my senior when she came back and immediately went to hide myself in the perc area...after which sam and bombi came to sit with me...so the 3 of us were sitting there and stoning...with the occasional burst of some chinese "I love you" song from sam...which is funny cause when she sings it to bombi she doesn't understand...and when she sings it to me all she got was a raised eyebrow...went for combined prac and sat at the back with my darling...she looks very cute when she plays...still highly amused at her nabucco score...if I'm not wrong it only consists of 2 notes...sadness...but her score was quite interesting nevertheless...haha amusement cause I never really saw her play before...such cuteness =)...after that the alumni had alumni prac...walked around the whole school with bombi and teng...after which I was going to go home when I realized that we need to move all the perc instruments back to the bandroom...boo...and to think I had to reach home at 5.30...anyway...went home with sam...spent a damn long time at the bus-stop cause the stupid bus didn't come...so I just sat there and slept while sam stoned...bus finally came...spent the bus ride listening to the Ms.Singapre-Universe contestants droning on about themselves on TV mobile...sense of lethargy...finally reached home and almost fell asleep at the comp...haha sadness that was yesterday...
hah...what a long paragraph...bet no-one would have the patience to read it anyway...haha...ok...shall go do hw now...

excerpt from this blog I found...written by quite a thoughtful and mature person who's currently studying in NUS...very reflective...yup...can go read her blog here...
I've been going to Action City regularly over the past 3 months, and have since accumulated quite a number of stamps.
poor guy neh...feel so bad for him...totally agree that singapore's customer service sucks like nothing...yep...got this from here...
ok I'm going off for dinner...byebye...
Their system works like this... for every $10 you spend, you get one stamp in their card. Once you have 20 stamps, you can get a $20 voucher.
In a smart move by them, most items end with 90 cents, ie $9.90, $19.90 and so on, and you won't get the stamp unless you buy something additional.
Well, on Sunday, I noticed that I had 2 stamps left to go before I had 20 accumulated. Unfortunately, the card expires on 24 Jan... 4 days to go. I was eyeing a Hidamari no Tami, that sphere-headed guy who bobs left and right, which was priced at $19.90.
And so on Monday I went back to Action City's branch at the Heeren. I picked out an issue of Dengeki Hobby (the one with the zoids cover) that I had been eyeing for some time. It was $19.90, and I decided to get something else so as to get 2 complete stamps. I chose a cheap bearbrick that was $2.90, making the total $22.80.
After I paid, I asked for the stamps, and the counter guy said he could only give me one as the bearbrick was a special offer item and did not count towards getting stamps. Doh. Oh well, that was my mistake, and I said alright then. Wasted $12.80 as I only got 1 stamp.
Wednesday came, and I was getting a bit desperate. Once they closed for the new year, 24 Jan would come and go, and who knows if they'd still be open. I went to the branch at Plaza Singapura and tried to choose something to buy in order to get that elusive last stamp.
I settled upon a Ruronin Kenshin trading figure, priced at $9.95, and a $2.95 choco egg. Both weren't special offer items.
Off I went to pay..and after that, I asked if I could get a stamp for that. I got a blank stare. So I waved the card in front of the counter guy, and he looked quite stunned. What he did next surprised me. He poured my stuff out of the plastic bag he just packed them in, and thoroughly scrutinized the price tags. He was really looking hard, presumably for the special offer marking that meant no stamp would have to be given. However, they were regular items, and he finally gave me the last stamp for that, and told me that I could redeem it now. I told him I'd choose something.
Needless to say, I zoomed in on the Hidamari with the nodding head. This one had a tag that said $24.95, special offer $19.90. I brought it to the counter, and asked if I could redeem the $20 voucher for this. Mr counter guy again looked stunned, and called for assistance from
someone else. She told me that the voucher was only valid for non-promotional items. Fine.
So I went back to look for something to get. Most grab-worthy stuff in action city is priced above $20, and that made things quite a bit harder. Pooh hidamari? Nah. Not a disney fan. The hidamari that was lying flat on the ground, rolling its head left and right? Nah. Ugly pose, not as good as the first release. Then I found another Hidamari with the nodding head, but it was priced at $24.95! I never thought I'd be so happy to see something priced higher than normal. Surely this was a non-promotional item? Looking harder, I noticed 3 more with the same price and no special offer tag. Oh joy! Oh rapture! I could pay the additional $4.95 and get this.
I brought it to the counter, and asked about it. Miss Counter staff said "er... this is a promotional item. I forgot to change the price tag. It's actually $19.90".
I couldn't believe it. I wanted to tell her that she forgot to change the tags for not just one but three, but there was a long queue behind and so I kept quiet about it. So we can't redeem a voucher for offer items. And clearly, lots of things in the store were tagged 'special offer'.
I went on to confirm if I could use the voucher to buy something that was above $20, and pay the balance. Yes was the answer. I asked, what if it's $24?
I was told that they don't accept NETS if the item is below $10. Sheesh. I just bought more than $10 of stuff from them minutes ago.. you'd think they could at least close one eye this once. But they didn't. And I can't fault them for that, as it's probably their store policy.
I went off to the ATM to draw the minimum amount of $20 for this. All in all I had already spent 40 minutes in the store, when I was hoping for a 5 minute grab-and-go.
I came back and grabbed the ugliest Hidamari that was lying flat on the ground. $26.95. Going up to the counter, I asked, "Surely this isn't a promotional item???"
[Very long pregnant pause] "No, this isn't a promotional item".
"Sure? Sure it's a regular item?"
"Yes".
"Okay, I'd like to get this then."
She keyed in the amount, and I gave her my card full of stamps.
She gave me a surprised look. I went on to tell her that I had accumulated a book of stamps. She already knew, as her fellow counter guy asked her about it a few minutes ago and she replied that I couldn't redeem a voucher for special offer items.
With the queue behind me, she went on to open a file and leaf through lots of vouchers. She then asked the other guy if he had issued vouchers before and knew how to do it. I was also told to fill up my particulars on the card before I submitted it. No problem, but I have to wonder why their card requires your address, occupation, nric and things like that, especially when all they need is your name, contact number and maybe email address.
Finally I got my ugly hidamari, and went home. It definitely wasn't what I had in mind when I woke up this morning.
goodness...and to think that I kind of liked sports fest...whooz...halsall spent half the time chasing all of us back to our house areas...not that he really succeeded...haha...hadley never got a 1st today...most of the medals won are for 3rd place...so was kind of surprised that we still got overall champion...was quite estatic...especially during the 4x400m relay...me and liane just like sit there and scream for the runners to go faster...haha was quite sad actually...yup...congrats to minmin...for best cheerleading...she sort of looked funny with her hair poofed up like that...yarh...
mum was relating to me her pregnancy period last night...was going to fall asleep listening to her drone when she said "you know, you had a twin brother"...and that got me listening...according to her...when she was 2 months pregnant...she went for this scanning thing...so the doctor was taking photos of the inside of the womb...and the photos all showed 2 embryos...one of them was significantly larger than the other...so that means that they are different cells and not split cells...so the doctor told my mum to expect unidentical twins...so my mum went home...then 2 months later...she went for the check-up again...but the photos this time didn't show 2 foetuses...there was only a girl baby...nobody knew where the other embryo went...aniway my mum was quite relieved because she wasn't too happy about having twins...particularly so because both my parents didn't intend to have children in the first place...which basically meant that I was an accident...and that I didn't get aborted partly because my mum wasn't that cruel and that the abortion would have killed 2 lives instead of 1...so when my mum realized that there's only going to be only me it was quite late and dangerous for abortion...so she had me...*yay*...but I want my twin bro...decided to call him yuhjie cause it's a nice name...I want yuhjie =(...
boo...sadness...depressed cause I'm deprived of my twin...where did he go anyway?...boo...
had a damn damn damn disturbing dream last night...was in a church and wearing a nice black suit...was quite happy til I realized that I'm going to get married...started panicking...then I saw who I was going to marry...and almost died of shock...haha go figure who...so I was like panicking and wondering how the hell I got into such a predicament...then this other peron came up to me...was going to ask her to get me out of this mess when she kissed me...yes on the lips!!...like what the f---ing shit...got so freaked out that I just ran away screaming my head off...then I woke up...was so freaked out that I couldn't go back to sleep for the next 1 hour...so was just sitting up in bed hugging bolster and having goosebumps everytime I think about the nightmare...yes despite all my scandals and everything I'm still damn disgusted and freaked...boo...scared of going to sleep tonight =(...
ok...shall go eat dinner now...although it's like 9 already =)...haha ok...byebye...
in the mood for gothic songs nowadays...good example is golgotha...been stuck in my head for 2 days straight...whee I like golgotha...just realized that my score is 50% similar to the higher clarinets...70% similar to the tubas...85% similar to the bass trombones...and 90% similar to the bari saxes...yay so fun...another gothic song also stuck in my head...hanabi...it's quite a nice song...but damn damn dark...starts of with this long stretch of silence...after which a very very old musicbox starts playing this tune...then the drumset joins in and it sounds damn scary...then the bass guitar and string ensemble comes in...very very nice...I like =)...
I'll search for a shooting star to cast my wishes on,
There's never a day where I have to remember you
hanabi lyrics are so sad...so forlorn =(...hai...going to go off soon to eat dinner and stone...after which I will come back to crap again...ok...byebye...
but dawn is coming too soon
and I won't be able to find one.
because I never for a moment forgot you.
more then once...I've berated myself on why I took full geog instead of full lit...I score equally well in both subs...but take into account the fact that i absolutely despise human geog...and lit should be a far better choice...so if I took full lit and half hist (NO half geog please)...I might end up either in 406 or 410...hmm...I like my present class perfectly fine...oh well...
Those were the days my friend
yukit's my wife...fengyi's my concubine...siokteng's my mistress...sam's my lover...and yengling's my one night stand...wonderful relationship we all have =)...
ok...I should be bathing already...byebye...
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days oh yes those were the days
looking back on my layout...I realized that my actual colour shade ranges only from beige to dirty blonde...so don't ask me where the orange words come from...and someone asked me how I managed to "punch" the words monochrome ver 3.5 into my picture of sanzou...actually I didn't...it just so happens that the colour of the words corresponds to the bg colour...so ya...
been making a concious effort not to type in short-form...so far I've tried to type in perfect english and capitalize all my "I"s...haven't got to the stage of replacing the "..."s yet...those are just too habitual to replace...an obvious effort to make sure my english gets an A1...really can't rely on my chinese...for some strange only-god-knows-why reason my chinese is going down the drain...even though I've been doing all my homework and studying for all the tests like a good little girl...really makes me remember my pri school days where I used to get full marks for everything chinese -_-...
just crossed my mind that I'm a reverse psychological person...or rather...my mind seems to work better backwards when compared to forwards...really...don't ask me where that thought came from...in a state of random-ness now...
have my chang wen suo duan in front of me now...I've highlighted all the answers and summarised all the phrases...even have my foolscap paper out...now all I have to do is to pick up my pen and write it down...which I somehow can't find the will to do...seems like I have no sense to complete whatever task I set out to do...horrible...
suddenly life seems so bleak...all the homework piling up...plus the fact that it's going to rain soon...I don't like rain...especially in the afternoons...and there's this ignorant kid still out there in the field flying his kite...like what with all the lightning and thunder...either he doesn't take science or he failed it...like really really flunked...
I shall start on my chang wen suo duan now...despite the desire to just chuck it into my bag and leave it till tomorrow...and the desire to just go read my book and forget the pile of homework on my desk...and most of all the desire to turn the volume of my speaker to max and burst everyone's eardrums...but I shall not...
and one more thing...despite all your sarcastic comments and the fact that you aced chinese...I love you charis...for being my constant source of entertainment and for your egocentric love confessions =)...
Say do you remember on the first of December when we were riding on the backseat
Turn the radio on and play our favourite song and there we were making out to the back beat
My girl will get sad and your man will get mad
But they don't have to know
Do you remember singing now...
been panicking in vain...fone was achaly in e bandroom...tot i lost it last nite n freaked lyk xiao...
tots on perf todae shud be kept to myself...all i shall sae is dat i believe dat we've done all we cud...almost...evidently some pplez minds were sumwhere else...but fer e majority...yep im proud of us...u prob think dat i am easily satisfied...but im entitled to my own opinion...and to me...datz enuff fer now...i trust e band enuff not to worry about cadenza...i noe we can...and itz juz a matter to wanting to...and i believe dat we all have dat common goal to make cadenza worth it...so i shall happily enjoy wadever precious band pracs i hav left...
There can be miracles
this song's been stuck in my head fer lyk...e past 2 hrs...along with shuqi's solo...can't seem to forget it...not that i want to anyway =)...
christine's love-sick...or more appropriately put...infatuated...never seen her act like that before...sense of wrongness o_0...
so now i have a spouse, 2 concubines and 2 lovers...cool isn't it...you can go guess who they are...though it's really quite obvious...if you're observant enough that is...
Many nights we've prayed
random bursts of song make me feel happy =)...in a relatively good mood...physically contented with my life now...have just completed my sonic game on my phone...a good book waiting to be read...(relatively) interesting projects to do...nice song to occupy my thoughts for at least 1 week...wonderfully tasty food within 1m of where I am sitting currently...bolster on a nice soft bed...wonderful batchmates and classmates...enjoyable band pracs...nothing more I could have wanted...
In this time of fear
have my life planned all the way to when I'm forty years old...from now till the time I finish my U-study I shall concentrate on studying...and of course dating and enjoying life...after I've got my whatever degree, I shall go off travelling for at least half a year and enjoy myself...when I return I shall start my career and earn lots of money...not to mention look for a soulmate =)...shall get married in my late-twenties...and start having kids...I want 2 sons and 2 daughters...shall call them ralph randall reina and rocher...don't ask me where those names came from...sudden burst of inspiration maybe =)...shall send them to prestige schools...by then which I will probably reach forty...yep...seems relatively achievable...except maybe the four children part o_0...haha...quite proud of myself...considering the fact that I've never planned out of the scope of a week before =)...
nothing more i feel like saying...shall just go off soon to bathe and eat...might come back again to do geog project and crap on msn...yay...ok byebye =)...
When you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles
You can achieve
When you believe
Somehow you will
You will when you believe
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood
Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains
Long before we knew we could
When prayer so often proves in vain
Hope seemed like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away
Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full, I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'd say
Maybe it wasn't there to begin with
translated lyrics fer e song in e side panel over dere <=...yepyep...e song title is monochrome...which is where dis whole theme came from...sung by ayu hamasaki...one of her early singles...n one of e nicest too =)...fer me at least...yep...lyk e princess n smiling face verses...damn sweet...haha...ok itz damn late...shud go bathe soon...yep...ok baibai...nitez...
that fun, sad, and kind story.
Maybe it was a dream or illusion.
Maybe I slept too long.
In the season when I can feel
the smell of summer in the blue sky
I remember a face.
The scenery of the city began to distort
I searched for sunglasses
so I could lose all the colors.
What I wanted to be?
Not a princess.
What I wanted to have?
Not glass slippers.
What I wanted to be?
I wanted to be with you.
What I wanted to have?
Was your smiling face.
The wind and the smell of summer
cut through today's sky.
It's ok so I agreed
Because if it's fate like we said
then we can meet again somewhere.
la la la la la la...
It's ok so I agreed.
la la la la la la...
Because I'm so strong.
