as i fell asleep listening to a song by Mika

I was listening to this song by Mika as i slumbered into the night, somehow the lyrics was stuck in my head even when i got up, partially cause the ipod was on repeat. I remembered trying to figure the words out and so i decided to do it early today...


-Happy Ending-

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' every day

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love[repeat]

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

*after the song and around 2 minutes of silence another song played*

-Over My Shoulder-

Over my shoulder.
Running away.
Feels like I'm falling.
Losing my day.

Cold! And dry! Cold! And dry.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Tired! Lost.

Over my shoulder.
Running away.
Feels like I'm falling.
Losing my way.

Cold! Dry! Cold! And dry.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Cold! And drunk

Iam not too sure what both songs mean to the Artist or what the purpose or message the song was suppose to sent to the listeners but from my point of view, its a really sad song, followed by the dark times the person went through - a failed relationship with the person he so loved and gave so much of himself to... to no avail... and the aftermath that followed... the final part of the song is really painful to hear... and in the end he is lost in total darkness all alone, cold and drunk.

Forgot my daylight.
Torture my night.
Feels like I'm falling.
Far out of sight.

Cold! Drunk! Cold! And drunk

Random stuff

i just added and removed some songs from my music player, its all in a mess now but iam kinda like searching for songs be it new or old that i wanna listen to for the "moment" do forgive me cause its now all jumbled up and iam trying to allocate them based on genre, mood, beat etc. Hope you'd like em maybe not all but some :) cheers~

Food and some random stuff!

My Sweetheart Edda just got back from Manila a few days back and she got me FOOD! you know what they say; the way to a mans heart is through his stomach! well i think thats kinda true :) she got me a combo pack of chocolate muffins and the all time favourite and famous cheese cakes! - they taste uber and iam munching on one of em right now! oh and a pack of dried mangos and bananas.



Anyways i just got back from Perth. Looking back Perth and Manila both hold a very special place in my heart... the both of us, Edda and I have been to these places together, we ran in the rain when it was chilling in Perth, did a documentary on their automated public WC, had a cheese ball challenge, In Manila we scaled a volcano, went for beautiful snorkeling trips and dined under the stars every night... looking at the relationship i have at hand, every moment was worth living for over and over again. Yea sometimes I ponder bout the "should haves" and "could haves" but i believe God allows things to happen for a reason, its only a matter of how one would react to it.

PS* Edda should we go back to Boracay next year? i miss that place.

Lastly heres a song i stumbled upon while playing taptap revenge and i think its kinda nice :) its on auto play, if that does not load heres the link.



You Would Not Believe Your Eyes
If Ten-Million Fireflies
Lit Up the World
As I Fell Asleep
Cause they fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I Would Just Stand And Stare
(I'd Like to make myself believe)
(That Planet Earth turns Slowly)
(It's hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep)
(Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems)
Cause I'd Get A thousand Hugs
From Ten-thousand Lightning Bugs
As They Try To Teach me How To Dance
A Fox Trot Above my Head
A Sock Hop Beneath My Bed
A Disco Ball is Just Hanging By a Thread
(Thread)
(Thread)
I'd Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
It's hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)
Leave My Door Open Just a Crack
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Cause I Feel Like Such an Insomniac
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
Why Do I Tire of Counting Sheep
(Please Take Me Away From Here)
When I'm Far Too Tired To Fall Asleep
To Ten-Million Fireflies
I'm Weird cause I Hate Goodbyes
I Got Misty Eyes
as They Said Farewell
(Said Farewell)
But I'll Know Where Several Are
If My Dreams Get Real Bizarre
Cause I'd Save a Few
And I'd Keep Them In A Jar (Jar)
I'd Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
Its hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)
I'd Like to make myself believe
That Planet Earth turns Slowly
It's hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep
Cause Everything Is Never As It Seems
(When I Fall Asleep)
(I'd Like to make myself believe)
(That Planet Earth turns Slowly)
(It's hard to say That I'd Rather Stay awake when I'm Asleep)
(Because My Dreams Are Bursting At The Seems)

its strange how bad things happen to good people

Few days back as Edda and i were running home from East Coast Park we noticed a fallen runner and went over to assist him. Somehow he must have suffered a minor stroke as he can no longer more the left side of his body and to make matters worst we could not feel a thing when we touched him on the left side, strangely there were many passerby and only a malay uncle stopped to help. We called an ambulance and while waiting for it to arrive we stayed by his side making sure he was doing ok in terms of breathing, alertness and even check on his pulse rate. Soon a small crowd gathered and the ambulance arrived shortly after. He was sent to Changi Hospital. Even tho we were strangers among each other it was nice to see that some Singaporeans do have a heart when i comes to helping others in need.

We walked home glad knowing we probably had helped save a mans life and knowing that we had missed dinner with the family. Off we went for our "sinful dinner"! - beehoongorengmerah. We stayed up pretty late that night enjoying each others company even tho Edda had a Melbourne flight which was in a few hours time.

As the break of dawn arrives we were off on a cab to the airport. Its was then misfortune struck, after checking in her baggage, Edda found out that her Coach wristlet was missing... after searching through our bags it was confirmed we must have dropped it on the cab. We called the cab company for help and till now 2 days later theres still no news on the wristle. There quite an amount of cash, club memberships and a few credit cards inside but what hurts most are the lost of the little notes, a picture and the sentiment of the gift. I pray that some kind soul out there would return it to us :( That day Edda went for flight... and i could tell, with a broken heart. As i waved her goodbye before we lost sight of each other my heart sank too.

20th Oct

Not too long ago i tried out a 10day trial for the World of Warcraft expansion: Wrath of the Lich king. I was lure back into the game by its breathtaking graphic and interactive game play. As i leaped Azeorathian (my human paladin) into the heat of battle i wonder to myself, am i really gonna commit to WoW once again after Ive tried so hard and managed to pull out of it? and on the other hand Edda was more than willing to give the game a shot... at the end of the day, i decided to lay down my sword and hang up the rusting set of armor - its time for Azeorathian to retire. Still i would sit in the tavern with a cup of ale

There are more important things at hand right now and the one that takes the 1st place is needless to say that special someone in my life. Recently Edda and I celebrated Noraini's 2*th Birthday and we traded tales of our love life, the many ups and well of course the occasional down times. Through talks like this you open your eyes on problems faced by your friends and sometimes wonder to yourself how lucky you are to have each other(+ the rough edges). Couples step on each others toes as they waltz through life, your partner can choose to pick you up, check on that foot of yours to make sure its alright and then carry OR he/she can choose to leave you as both dancers don't have the patience and that special spark for one another after finding out that they just don't fit. Before you make your choice, seeking the advice and wisdom of close friends would be the best thing to do... remember you are not alone! and remember even when you are for that short period of time NEVER be short fused and be self-destructive. God allow thing to happen and sometimes you would see a pattern of such misfortunes repeating one after another... trials. HANG IN THERE!

Time to head down for Brunch, wonder what Edda's mom conjured today :)

PS* iam still a gamer! infact i can't wait to get my hands on a few single player titles that require less commitment or non at all!eg. Disciples 3 - if any has news on this PLS! let me know

mistaken identity!

As Edda and i were at the airport checking out the masses of candy one could find only at Candy Empire, my twin called.

Julian: eh where are you?

Me: Airport bout to send Edda off for flight, y?

Julian: last night i bumped into your friend @ St James ler... she thinks iam you and wants to report you to Edda.

Me: what for?

Julian: cause i was dancing with Amanda la! *grumbles* i was a little drunk and i told her off... anyway Jo and the rest didnt like that bunch of ppl etc etc etc - lotsa nasty stuff

Me: WHAT?! you scolded her and her friends?! *back of my head i told myself "not again!"* why?!

Julian: dont know la! tell you more when u get home bye!

Edda laughs her head off. *Roll eyes*

see... thing is, being twins has got its pros and cons. THIS is one of the cons! what are my colleagues gonna think of me when i bump into them @ work. Then again its not the worst tho, since we so happen to be talking bout this allow me to tell you the worst ive got out of an incident alike to this, only a few years back.
Same thing: Mistaken identity = then GF's bro saw my bro with his babe holding hands and kissing, he tells my GF thinking that its me, she keeps quiet, got back at "me" by cheating on me with someone else, hence the relationship got sour and only told me some time after we broke off. PWNED :(

PS* for those who dont know, i have got a twin! and we do look different in many ways!

Its been a long long time

Its 1205Am, 5hours before ive gotta get up and ready for a flight to Auckland, somehow i have not been blogging in a REALLY REALLY long while! laziness got the best of me i suppose... anyways if you have watched Fame, you would notice that there are many amazing songs in that entire movie and one of them is titled "try". Edda and i were argueing over what it would sound better on the piano or the guitar ha! i ended up learning to play it on the piano grrr... yes piano > guitar i know BUT not all the time!

PS* Baby you know ill never admit that the piano is better especially when we are fighting over a song sheet! so now you know, i admit defeat *grumbles*

So Ive been to many places recently and the most recent one happens to be Athens, Greece. Its my 1st time there and yes it is indeed a beautiful place, the ruins that is... the town area itself is kinda like the middle east if u ask me. Sadly mines was a 5days trip hence we didn't have time to go to many other places Greece had to offer. Will be posting the pictures up onto FB soon, Time to catch up with some sleep
