Me, myself & I
"i am free to be who i really am... no pretenses, no broken promises, no fear... just a life packed with hopelessness and unattainable dreams, 'cause im just livin' like i shld... my life..." everyone has hopes and dreams but dun they know that hope is the denial of reality and that dreams will forever be just dreams?

Sunday, October 29, 2006 [291006] 3 more book-ins left...
I'm just left with 3 more book-ins excluding the booking in later before i finally pass out from BRTC. The first of the many tests are coming up this coming week including the REPT (Rescue Equipment Profienciecy Test) and First Aid test. Hopefully will be able to get 1st class for all my tests mainly due to the fact that 1st class awardees are given rewards in the form of nights out... just 3 more weeks til POP week... 3 more weeks before i become a recruit and embarking on yet another phase of my life... one of responsibility and consequences... am i ready? Perhaps, perhaps not but that's what the all the training is supposed to equip me with... time and situations will tell... Lonestar - I'm so in love with you everytime our eyes meet this feeling inside me is almost more than i can take baby when you touch me i can feel how much you love me and it just blows me away ive never been this close to anyone or anything i can hear your thoughts i can see your dreams i dont know how you do what you do im so in love with you it just keeps gettin better i wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever every lil thing that you do baby im amazed by you the smell of your skin the taste of your kiss the way you whisper in the dark your hair all around me baby you surround me and touch every place in my heart oh it feels like the first time everytime i wanna spend the whole nite in your eyes i dont know how you do what you do im so in love with you it just keeps gettin better i wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever every lil thing that you do baby im amazed by you every lil thing that you do im so in love with you it just keeps gettin better i wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side forever and ever every lil thing that you do ohh every lil thing that you do baby im amazed by... you A song i came across while listening to the radio... quite old song but it's damn nice... Friday, October 27, 2006 [271006] nice song to share
Christian Bautista - The way you look at me No one ever saw me like you do All the things that I could add up, too I never knew just what a smile was worth But your eyes say everything without a single word 'Cause there's something in the way you look at me Its as is my heart knows you're the missing piece You make me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be I never know what you see But there's something in the way you look at me If I could freeze a moment in my mind Be the second that you touch your lips to mine I'd like to stop the clock make time stand still 'Cause baby this is just the way I always wanna feel 'Cause there's something in the way you look at me Its as is my heart knows you're the missing piece You make me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be I never know what you see But there's something in the way you look at me I don't know, how or whyI feel different in your eyes all know is it happens everytime... 'Cause there's something in the way you look at me Its as is my heart knows you're the missing piece You make me believe that there's nothing in this world I can't be I never know what you see But there's something in the way you look at me The way you look at me Tuesday, October 24, 2006 [241006] A lonesome holiday
I guess i must be the only NSF who stays home during a public holiday and not go out with friends or just walk around town... kinnda lazy to go out and cant really be bothered to anyways... no one to hang around with these days as well.. everyone's busy... everyone's having their own lives and problems to deal with... so in the end no one to depend on 'cept for Me, myself and I... So what did i do thus far? Erm.. just staring at the computer since i woke up i guess... listening to songs, made myself another Bailey's float with Cookies and Cream ice-cream this time round and tried my hand at some simple designs for my platoon t-shirt, if i only had a pal who would help me print the god damn designs out... hmmm... guess that kinnda pal doesnt exist no more... Yeah, it's kinnda simple but it took me the better part of an hour just fixing the images and stuff... and i didnt design the thing, took the pic off some webby i came across...
Lastly, wishing all my muslim friends, Aini n Win among others a Selamat Hari Raya Puasa and of course all the non-muslims as well... happy holidays.... 4 more weeks to POP... Sunday, October 22, 2006 [221006] So others may live
"When lives are on the line, sacrifice everything" Finally after all the waiting managed to go and watch THE GUARDIAN... nope, it's not yet out but i couldnt wait and after realising that Cathay was showing the sneak peaks, went to watch straight away... reached Causeway early and decided to settle for lunch at Pastamania before walking aimlessly around... not exactly aimlessly as i splurged on the new Football Manager series and a new book... so all in all a good day... anyways, back to the movie itself... THE GUARDIAN is definately better than UMIZARU though both shows were about rescue divers and both featured the same general ideas, plot and endings, i felt THE GUARDIAN did a better job in potraying the spirit and general feel of these day to day heroes. It was surprising to see Ashton Kutcher acting in a drama though i think he did a reasonable job at it... but the plot was kinnda simple, linear and predictable... i correctly predicted the ending but not taking credit away from the film which i felt was definately worth it... thumbs up... the theme song, Never Let Go by Bryan Adams adds a nice touch to the entire film... very appropriate song... THE GUARDIAN - 4 popcorns out of 5 Bryan Adams - Never Let Go can ya lay your life down - so a stranger can live can ya take what ya need - but take less than ya give could ya close everyday - without the glory and fame could ya hold ya head high - when no-one knows your name thats how legends are made - at least thats what they say we say goodbye - but never let go we live, we die - cause you cant save every soul ya gotta take every chance to - show that you're the kinda man who will never look back - will never look down and never let go can ya lose everything - ya ever had planned can ya sit down again - and play another hand could ya risk everything - for the chance of being alone under pressure find the grace - would you come undone thats how legends are made - at least thats what they say we say goodbye - but never let go we live, we die - cause you cant save every soul ya gotta take every chance to - show that you're the kinda man who will never look back - will never look down and never let go ya gotta take every chance to - show that you're the kinda man who will never look back - will never look down and never let go we say goodbye - but never let go we live, we die - cause you cant save every soul ya gotta take every chance to - show that you're the kinda man who will never look back - will never look down and never let go never look back - never look down, and never let go Sunday, October 15, 2006 [151006] The Departed
Just came back from catching the Departed the hollywood adaptation of Hong Kong's Infernal Affairs... First thought before watching the show was that wondering how closely the hollywood adaptation would follow to the original screen play but it hardly mattered as I have yet to watch Infernal Affairs I, II or III. The movie started out quite slowly building up on the main characters' past before moving on with the plot itself... after which, it became a quite a fast and dark pyscho thriller based around the 2 main characters... Surprisingly, the movie was really built quite nicely around the two main leads and the plot twists and ending really left me kinnda surprised... Was really impressed with Leonardo's acting, his character's desperation as well as emotions were honestly and accurately protrayed and could really feel his solemn mood throughout the movie itself... though i dont really have a comparison to make between the Hollywood and Hong Kong version, i must say The Departed is one of the better movies i have watched thus far this year... highly recommended... The Departed - 4.5 popcorns out of 5 Caught the trailer for The Guardian yet again and i must say i cant wait for the release of the movie on Oct 24th... a must watch for me personally... somehow this kind of movie genre has always got me excited, something about the novelty of the American civil service branches... The Police Departments, The Fire Departments, The Coast Guard, The Army, Navy and Air Force... Another must watch i guess would be Transformers The movie due next year... like many of those born in the 80s, most of us grew up watching Transformers, the animated series... im no different.. the epic battle between the Decepticons and the Autobots... captured the hearts, minds and imagination of so many kids... and to stand here decades later to learn that there's gonna be a Transformers movie out somehow sets my heart racing, hope the movie doesnt disappoint... Speaking of all things old and remembering all the memories... i've been hooked on my SNES emulator playing an old game i used to enjoy alot during my primary school days... Uncharted Waters 2: New Horizons.. a RPG set during the golden age of exploration and sailing in the early 1500s in Europe where the 6 sea faring powers of England, Holland, Spain, Portugal, Italy and the Ottoman Empire battle it out with each other to establish themselves as the ultimate power. Ahh.. they dont make games like these no more... a game rich in history, facts and replayability... Booking in tomorrow morning.. life goes back to being the same... a recruit's life... 6 more weeks to POP... im still feeling heavy hearted.. i wish the feeling would go away... wish i really hadnt asked... if i could turn... [151006] Shine your light down on me
Robbie Robertson - Shine your light The cry of the city like a siren's song Wailing over the rooftops the whole night long Saw a shooting star like a diamond in the sky Must be someone's soul passing by These are the streets Where we used to run where your Papa's from These are the days Where you become what you become These are the streets Where the story's told The truth unfolds Darkness settles in Shine your light down on me Lift me up so i can see Shine your light when you're gone Give me the strength To carry on, carry on Don't wanna be a hero Just an everyday man Trying to do the job the very best he can But now it's like living on borrowed time Out on the rim, over the line Always tempting fate like a game of chance Never wanna stick around to the very last dance Sometimes i stumble and take a hard fall Lose hold your grip off the wall Shine your light down on me Lift me up so i can see Shine your light when you're gone Give me the strength to carry on Carry on I thought i saw him walking by the side of the road Maybe trying to find his way home He's here but not here He's gone but not gone Just hope he knows if I get lost Shine your light down on me Lift me up so i can see Shine your light when you're gone Give me the strength to carry on To carry on Saturday, October 14, 2006 [141006] One must look forwards yet...
Went around town earlier on with ES and redfox, walked around bugis and city hall area to accompany redfox for his RDI assignment on some pushcart thingy... he had to like analyse the designs of the various push carts so we figured to go walk around bugis junction and suntec but the owners werent exactly too enthu about having some student take photos of their push carts so in the end, had to resort to covert operations... redfox tried a variety of smoke out techniques to no avil ranging from pretending to listen to a call while taking the photos to hiding along the corridors to sneakily take photos of the push carts from afar... all this sneaking around just for pictures... wanted to catch The Departed earlier on but the showtimes werent exactly what i had in mind.. guess i'll leave the movie for tomorrow... nothing much to blog about... oh, as expected didnt get into ERS due to my eye sight degrees... something to look forward to... booking in only on mon morning... sighz... sometimes i wish i didnt have to see those words... "To live life one must look forwards yet look constantly backwards to learn" Bee Gees - Too much Heaven Nobody gets too much heaven no more Its much harder to come by Im waiting in line Nobody gets too much love anymore Its as high as a mountain And harder to climb Oh you and me girl Got a lot of love in store And it flows through you And it flows through me And I love you so much more Then my life.. i can see beyond forever Everything we are will never die Lovings such a beautiful thing Oh you make my world.. a summer day Are you just a dream to fade away Chorus.. You and me girl got a highway to the sky We can turn away from the night and day And the tears we had to pay(u hade to cry) Youre my life.. I can see a new tomorrow Everything we are will never die Lovings such a beautiful thing When you are to me, the light above Made for all to see our presious love Chorus.. Love is such a beautiful thing You make my world a summer day Are you just a dream to fade away Chorus.. Nobody gets too much love anymore Its as wide as a river and harder to cross Chorus..(repeat and fade) Sunday, October 08, 2006 Goo Goo Dolls - Black Balloon
Baby's black balloon makes her fly I almost fell into that hole in your life And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow Cuz you were the same as me But on your knees A thousand other boys could never reach you How could I have been the one? I saw the world spin beneath you And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Or are you someone's prayer? You know the lies they always told you And the love you never knew What's the things they never showed you That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder Always someone there And there's no time left for losin' When you stand they fall, yeah Comin' down the world turned over And angels fall without you there And I go on as you get colder All because I'm Comin' down the years turn over And angels fall without you there And I'll go on and I'll bring you home and All because I'm All because I'm And I'll become What you became to me [080906] A weary day
Im feeling more and more weary as the weeks pass... a weight somehow bearing down on me... im weary in mind, body and heart... a tiredness that somehow seems to stem from thin air, so so tired... another weekend zooms past me... quite a tiring week in camp this week... Lotsa PTs and i took my first IPPT... failed it of course seeing that i still cant do my pull ups.. and surprisingly i failed my standing broadjump as well... only consolation was that i managed to get full points for both my shuttle run and situps while i ran a pretty decent 2.4, clocked in at ard 10:40 mins... there'll be a retest for those failures tomorrow, those who passed get to stay out from tuesday til friday but doubt i'll be one of them... Caught Word Trade Centre yesterday at Cathay Causeway Point... overall, kinnda disappointing though it looked so promising, in the end, it was only a so-so film... of course i guess it's hard to portray a tragedy of such magnitude in a politically correct and sensitive manner but somehow the heroics of those who perished while trying to save others werent really properly portrayed but credits given to the authencity of the sets and the overall film of the film... it's quite an emotionally charged film, i shed a few tears towards the end but i find Ladder 49 to be more touching... overall a good film but dont get your hopes raised too high... World Trade Centre - 2.5 popcorns out of 5 After the movie, rushed down to University Cultural Centre to catch SP Superstars, first ever musical production by Singapore Poly... managed to get a complimentary ticket from Esther... thanks gal... it was definately worth it... very subtle digs at both singing contests Singapore Idol and Superstars... 4 main characters were Rafik (think taufik), Sky (Sly), Shelley (Kelly) and Kay (Kelvin?)... my first ever musical and i enjoyed myself tremendously... wonderful injections of humour, singlish and beautifully written songs and the main leads did a pretty good job at their singing not to mention the rest of the cast as well... Sorry that i didnt stay after the show ended... i figured that you'll be busy celebrating with your friends after the finale and everything... sorry if i sounded tired or disinterested on the phone... perhaps im just tired... but somehow i was kinnda surprised when you called me also... stunned abit also dunno what to say... well, whatever i wanted to convey was in that sms i sent ya... it was great to see ya performing on stage cause you looked great with your boundless energy and smile... performing's in your blood i guess... only regret was i didnt have a chance to see you dance back in your ballet days... but i think you must have been great too... guess you'll be starting school soon... all the best for your studies! thanks once again for the ticket ya? I wont be able to become a firefighter due to my eye degrees... so most probably i'll stay on in BRTC for the BRT... no more ERS, no more chance of becoming an officer... im aiming for the medical orderly vocation after POP... POP's on the 24th of November... guess time will pass by fast... 7 more weeks to POP... "shine your light down on me, lift me up where i can breathe, shine your light when you're gone... give me the strength to carry on to carry on..." i wish i hadnt asked at all... Sunday, October 01, 2006 [011006] Yesterday
Boyz II Men - Yesterday Yesterday... All my troubles seem so far away Now it seems as though they're here to stay Oh I believe in yesterday Suddenly, I'm not half the man I use to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh yesterday came suddenly Why she had to go, I don't know She wouldn't say, she wouldn't say I said something wrong now I long for yesterday Yesterday... Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday Oh I... had to go I don't know She would not say I said something wrong How I long for yesterday Yesterday... Love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh I believe in yesterday I believe in yester...day Was so far away Oh yesterday was far away And I know I can't turn back Cause yesterday is gone... |
