Can't Take That Way

Someone said i should "change" and be more positive / optimistic. Hmmm... maybe this song will help:



They can say anything they want to say
Try to bring me down
But I will not allow
Anyone to succeed
Hanging clouds over me
And they can try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

CHORUS:
'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

They can do anything they want to you
lf you let them in
But they won't ever win
If you cling to your pride
And just push them aside
See
I have learned there's an inner peace I own
Something in my soul
That they cannot possess
So I won't be afraid
And darkness will fade

'Cause there's a light in me
That shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me

No
They can't take this
Precious love
l'll always have inside me
Certainly the Lord will guide me
Where I need to go

They can say anything they want to say
Try to break me down
But 1 won't face the ground
I will rise steadily
Sailing out of their reach

Oh Lord
They do try hard to make me feel
That I don't matter at all
But I refuse to falter
In what I believe
Or lose faith in my dreams

'Cause there's a light in me that shines brightly
They can try
But they can't take that away from me
From me

Ode to My Family

I was listening to this song in my car a few days ago and as i was singing along, i finally got the lyrics. After listening to this song since 1994, i finally understood what Dolores O'Riordan was singing about. And i can totally relate now. This song has always been my favourite from the No Need to Argue album.

I especially like the part "Unhappiness, where’s when I was young"... The video is nice too. Enjoy




Ode to My Family


Understand the things I say
Don’t turn away from me
Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn’t disagree
D’you see me, d’you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D’you notice, d’you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care

Unhappiness, where’s when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
’cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Ol he liked me, does anyone care

Understand what I’ve become
It wasn’t my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
’cause I liked it, I liked it
When I was out there
D’you know this, d’you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care

Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
’cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Ol he liked me, does anyone care

Does anyone care

My housemates and I went to buy houses last weekend (it's amazing how i can it so casually, like buying a pair of socks). I sort of decided that in a few days and i believe can be considered as an impulse purchase of mine even though it's gonna bring me back in the state of tak dok seng for the next couple of years. I keep telling myself it's an investment, it's an investment, it's an investment...

Like any other purchases of mine, i'm excited about it. Like any other purchases of mine, i hope i don't get bored with it quickly. Like any other purchases of mine, i hope i can fully justify it(some how or another).

These days, during my free time and during office hours, i keep visualising how i'm gonna decorate it. I now have a few options on the colour scheme, types of bed, sofa and such. If the budget allows, of course.

My friend said, "Wow. You've moved on with your life." Have I? Doesn't feel like it though.

What do you think? Do you think i made a right decision in buying a house? Is apple green a horrible colour for a wall?

Introducing.... iPhone!!!

It's a phone! It's a widescreen iPod! It's surfs the net! It's iPhone! Apple launched the new iPhone today. Claimed to be a new revolutionary product, iPhones features a widescreen iPod with Multitouch Touch technology, a friendly user interface and a "breakthrough Internet communication device".

What do you think? Is it as revolutionary as it claims? Do you still need your stylus? Should i wait and get one?

How dysfunctional is your family?

How dysfunctional is your family? Take the test here. I scored 40. Is your family as dysfunctional as mine?

Lost Anatomy

After Isham had a Lost marathon last weekend, a theory of my own came up on how Lost and Grey's Anatomy are related. Yup, i think the two shows are related. (I posted before on how people think Lost and Alias are related). Since both shows are on ABC, there could be a relation. The reason that got me thinking is, the main characters are Jack Shepherd and Derek Shepherd. Umm.. hello? Are they related? Are they the same person? I believe they are the same person. Both are doctors. Both surgeons. Both were married. Both divorced. Both in love with Meredith... well, one is in love with Kate; but the point is they're in love.

Next week: Mr Eko and Dr Preston is the same person!

So what do you think? Is Derek and Jack the same person? How did Derek end up on that island? Will we ever see Sandra Oh on Lost?

Song of the Week: Waiting On The World To Change by John Mayer

Beautiful song with deep lyrics. Very nice! Great success! Have a listen. What do you think?



Me and all my friends
We're all misunderstood
They say we stand for nothing
There's no way we ever could
Now we see everything is going wrong
With the world and those who lead it
We just feel like we don't have the means
To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Its hard to be persistant
When we're standing at a distance
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power
To bring our neighbors home from war
They would've never missed a Christmas
No more ribbons on the door
When you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cuz when when the only information ooohhh,
They can bend it all they want

So while we're waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
It's not that we don't care
We just know that the party's there
So we keep waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change

We're still waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
One day our generation
Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Know we keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
We keep on waiting (waiting)
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change
Waiting on the world to change.

Resolutions and denial

First of all, happy new year people! Hope that 2006 has brought fulfillment and joy to you as it did for me. I am so happy this year ended with a bang.


Whatever. Enough with positivism. Anyways, How was your year? Achieved all of your goals and last year's resolutions? I for one, have decided that i no longer believe in New Year resolutions. I mean what's the point? My resolutions are always things that i want and therefore always unachievable. The things that i want to happen always end up the opposite.


However, for the sake of making resolutions as everyone has a list of them, i will now list down my resolutions:

1. I will have a lousy year


2. I want my body to get fatter and my hair thinner


3. I will never ever buy an iPod video


4. I will remain in a state of tak dok seng and in debt


5. I will drag myself to work every morning, feel bad about my job and never advance in my career


6. Be a doormat

There. That's enough i think. I'm sure i can achieve most of them if not all and feel good about myself next year. Cheers.
