"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?

[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...

[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

[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...



Had a really weird dream last night... kinnda heavy hearted after waking up... still remembered the feeling after seeing what happened... guess that would be how it feels if i see it happening in real life... life goes on... have to adapt or else we risk being swept away by the tides of time and change...

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...

Rascal Platts - What hurts the most

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do


What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do


(Not seeing that loving you)
That’s what I was trying to do

[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

[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

[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)

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...

[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...
