So what if you know the truth?

TRUTH

Truth be told, people often say.
But how many of us, in a fragile
State of mind can actually handle
The truth that ought to be told?

Truth can be as harsh as a wintry night
As crushing as a runaway boulder
It can be as sharp as a kitchen knife,
And it can slice, into pieces, one's
Heart and soul.

He, who says let truth be told
Has never known a truth
He wished would never unfold.
Truth can be as confusing as the quest
For the ultimate truth itself.
It can be misleading with its many facets.

Truth is as dark as the blackest night
And it often robs one of a good night rest.
Truth be told,
Sometimes, a truth is better left untold...
Undiscovered...
Unrevealed...

Merry Xmas Everyone!
and to you...

 
last christmas

Chorus: 
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 
But the very next day, You gave it away 
This year, to save me from tears 
I'll give it to someone special 

Last Christmas, I gave you my heart 
But the very next day, You gave it away 
This year, to save me from tears 
I'll give it to someone special 

Once bitten and twice shy 
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye 
Tell me baby do you recognise me? 
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me 

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it 
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it 
Now I know what a fool I've been 
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again 

Chorus 

(Oooh. Oooh Baby) 

A crowded room, friends with tired eyes 
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice 
My God I thought you were someone to rely on 
Me? I guess I was a shoulder to cry on 
A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
A man undercover but you tore me apart 
Oooh Oooh 
Now I've found a real love you'll never fool me again 

Chorus 

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart 
(Gave you my heart) 
A man undercover but you tore me apart 
Next year 
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special 
special 
someone 
someone 
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special 
who'll give me something in return 
I'll give it to someone 
hold my heart and watch it burn 
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone special 
I've got you here to stay 
I can love you for a day 
I thought you were someone special 
gave you my heart 
I'll give it to someone, I'll give it to someone 
last christmas I gave you my heart 
you gave it away

Santa Claus is coming... to town :)

i love xmas... and i kinda miss the xmas feast in london...
i enjoy the festive atmosphere where people are shopping, and decorating their homes.
it is also the time when the weather starts to turn colder and wetter.
i kinda like this year's xmas lighting in orchard, simple and nice.
i always love to capture the dazzling and mesmerizing xmas lights and decorations.
i had capture the past fond memories but
this time round... somehow.. it seems that they were just pictures.

Tonkichi @ Orchard Central

Posted on 2009.11.04 at 23:54
 

I always love Tonkichi ever since I lay my first bite on their pork loin cutlet at their Takashimaya outlet.
Today John suggested the outlet at Orchard Central (I din noe they have one there).
The interior decoration was quite nice... with traditional japanese lanterns and antique woods.
Best part was actually their window seats that face the city. Not bad!
More selections of food choices here... they even have ramen and soba.
Service was superb ;)
Nevertheless... I still prefer the taste of the cutlet at Taka :P
Oh and they dun have the Jumbo cutlet at the Orchard Central!! (okay.... too sinful:P)

SAVA Sprint 2009

It was fast.
No time to think.
Just paddled hard and charged.
Hard 10... 20... maintenance... last charge!
Before I knew it... it was all over and we were at the finishing line panting.
It was quite an interestingly fun experience.
And you got to see other teams row... man they were really in sync.

Chilling out @ Chip Bee Garden

A Red Muscato Friday Afternoon

My first time trying out the Red Muscat
Together with some pastries from Da Paolo Gastro.
Decided to 'picnic' at one of the benches along the Chip Bee Garden.
I heart the White Chocolate Chip scone with cornflakes!!
The smell was really nice after warming it up and the inside was moist and soft.
The Chocolate cake was quite good too.. it wasn't too sweet :)
Pastries from Gastro will rarely go wrong I guess.
It was nice chilling out on Fridae afternoon
Before the start of the back breaking weekend.

陳奕迅 - 好久不見


我来到你的城市
走过你来时的路
想像着没我的日子
你是怎样的孤独
拿着你给的照片
熟悉的那一条街
只是没了你的画面
我们回不到那天

你会不会忽然的出现
在街角的咖啡店
我会带着笑脸挥手寒喧
和你坐着聊聊天

我多么想和你见一面
看看你最近改变
不再去说从前只是寒喧
对你说一句只是说一句
好久不见

拿着你给的照片
熟悉的那一条街
只是没了你的画面
我们回不到那天

你会不会忽然的出现
在街角的咖啡店
我会带着笑脸挥手寒喧
和你坐着聊聊天

我多么想和你见一面
看看你最近改变
不再去说从前只是寒喧
对你说一句只是说一句

TGIF... I was so sleepy that I decided to leave school at 1230pm and went home to take a nap.
Woke up... and still feeling sleepish and decided to grab a Starbucks Vanilla Latte before heading to my JC gathering.
Hahaa... and I thought I had navigated myself properly on streetdirectory.com but then I lost my way!
Couldn't find the block!!! (because the estate block numbers jumped from single digit to 3 digits!!)
I decided to took out my iPhone and GPRSed myself to her block lol!

It was fun to gather at Irene's place last night....
We had Tom Yum Steamboat specially prepared by Irene's mum (thanks auntie!!)
It was really nice! and we did lotsa catching up and gossiping
(talking abt which male celebrities are together with which male... serious??!! lol)
After dinner, we celebrated Yihan's Birthday with Mooncake hehee (how appropriate right ;) )
Liting bought us each a traditional cage piggie mooncake from HongKong!

Dinner @ Mt Emily's Wild Rocket

Managed to catch up with Willie (Mr Ocean :P) and JS after our Fame Gala Premier at The Cathay.
JJ suggested to have dinner at Wild Rocket.
Nice, simple place with exquisite display of fusion food! :)
I really liked the Sze Chuan Chicken Salad! Very tasty!
JJ's friend was nice enough to prepare us a
"soya milk based soup served in a glass with 'Heh Bee Hiam' cookie" (forgot the actual name:P)
There were also Lasak Pasta, Chilli Soft-Shell Crab, and Black Sesame Ice-cream.
 

身騎白馬 - Who....?

Posted on 2009.09.29 at 12:13

徐佳瑩 - 身騎白馬

我爱谁 跨不过 从来也不觉得错
自以为 抓著痛 就能往回忆里躲
偏执相信著 受诅咒的水晶球
阻挡可能心动的理由

*而你却 靠近了 逼我们视线交错
原地不动 或向前走 突然在意这分钟
眼前荒沙弥漫了等候
耳边传来孱弱的呼救
追赶要我爱的不保留

Chorus: (taiwanese)
我身骑白马 走三关
我改换素衣 回中原
放下西凉没人管 我一心只想王宝钏

Repeat from*
满身伤痕累累 也来不及痛
那是指引我走向你的清楚感受
不管危不危险 都要放下一切跟你走
只要一起承担 只要你不放手

I hadn't been getting in touched with mandarin song for a long time that I almost forgot the beauty of it.
Finally get to listen to one while I was planning my schedules in my office.
It was recommended from Jerald and initially I duno who is SHE! (Man, I'm outdated :P)
It was an interesting mixture of mandarin and taiwanese and the lyrics was beautiful.

"我爱谁 跨不过 从来也不觉得错
自以为 抓著痛 就能往回忆里躲
偏执相信著 受诅咒的水晶球
阻挡可能心动的理由"

though there may be the light of truth that u see or seek,
sometimes pains incurred just made u wanna hide
the truth deep inside the past beautiful memories
whether it may be an ugly truth or u felt that u had been cursed by an evil witch
perhaps time will allow my heart to feel again... hopefully...

Is there a soulmate for everyone?

Natasha Bedingfield & Cyril Paulus - Soulmate [FrenGlish]


Incompatible, it don't matter though
'cos someone's bound to hear my cry
Speak out if you do
you're not easy to find

Is it possible Mr. Loveable
is already in my life?
right in front of me
or maybe you're in disguise

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Here we are again, circles never end
how do I find the perfect fit
there's enough for everyone
but I'm still waiting in line

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

If there's a soulmate for everyone

Most relationships seem so transitory
They're all good but not the permanent one

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone

Who doesn't long for someone to hold
who knows how to love you without being told
somebody tell me why I'm on my own
if there's a soulmate for everyone
If there's a soulmate for everyone

Sometimes the things around you felt like black and white
And there were times when you got splashes of blues
Not sure when I would get to see the full colours

Nice song.. shared from samuel :)

N
ow I'm old and feeling grey.
I don't know what's left to say about this life I'm willing to leave. 
I lived it full and I lived it well, there's many tales I've lived to tell.
I'm ready now, I'm ready now, I'm ready now to fly from the highest wing.

I had a dream...

Budget on ur iphone case?
LOL at least it's environmental friendly :)


Times are getting harder, even for iPhone owners…
This case was developed to provide basic protection for your iPhone without leaving you broke.

This is clearly not a great looking case but it has the merit to be very original, and that’s what I like about it.

“Tough times call for tough cases and that’s where the recession case comes in!
The recession case lets you keep cash in your pocket without sacrificing on unique design for your beloved iPhone!
But just in case one isn’t enough we have the BAILOUT BUNDLE – 10 cases for $7.99!”

We never thought we’d see the day, but its here. This is 100% recycled cardboard, and as sturdy as cardboard can be,
and they’re available individually for 99 Cents each here:

This is soo interesting hahahaa



A big card from 4E2

happy teachers' day

Although I only teach this graduating class for a few months, they are sweet to make
me a card with little of their wishes and notes and a huge cake for all the subject teachers.
Funny that they always relate me as MR SUN (the sky and the moon :S kids)
but I can't really blame them... hahaa cos that pronunciation is similar to my surname.
It feels good when your presence is felt and appreciated and their results improved.
Thank you, 4E2 & all the best to your O-levels.



Always Be My Baby lyrics


We were as one baby
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine

Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe
Our love will never die
No!

You'll always be a part of me
I'm a part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I ain't gonna cry no
And I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave girl
I will not stand in your way
But inevitably you'll be back again
Cause ya know in your heart babe
Our love will never end no

You'll always be a part of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

I know that you'll be back girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder oooohhh
I know that, you'll be right back, babe
Ooooh! baby believe me it's only a matter of time

You'll always be apart of me
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boy don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my my baby....

You'll always be apart of me (you will always be)
I'm part of you indefinitely
Boyl don't you know you can't escape me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on (we will linger on....)
Time can't erase a feeling this strong
No way you're never gonna shake me
Ooh darling cause you'll always be my baby

Always be my baby

I Did It For You


Today's not the same
as every day
it's far from ordinary
The pain I endure
You're my cure
but my mistakes have led me
far away from you...


You turn away
from all those things
that I've been trying to say
and all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you


My open mind
feelings I just can't reconcile
my heart's on a string
these broken wings
you knew I'd be so fragile
Far away from you...


You turn away
from all those things
that I've been trying to say
and all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you

I searched my soul
and all these feelings
that I can't control
and you're the one thing
that can make me whole
I did it for you


Try to let you know
Try to let you know
Try to let you know...


Today is not the same
as everyday
it's far from ordinary...


You turn away
from all those things
that I've been trying to say
and all those promises
I shouldn't have made
I did it for you

Oh I searched my soul
and all these feelings
that I can't control
and you're the one thing
that can make me whole
I did it for you...
I did it for you...
I did it for you...

You're the one thing that can make me whole
I did it for you...

Looking UP

Mood: blank


Looking UP

it was one of the rare moments when I lied on the ground and looked up into the sky.
it happened when I was having a short rest while doing my physical training.
somehow the sight was beautiful and it gave me a sense of tranquility.
how ironic when something that was beautiful and was there all the time
and yet we often did not take a second look at it.
perhaps we did not know how to appreciate it initially
until you decided to put down everything in your mind
and enjoyed the beauty of the calm blue with an occasional splashes of pure white.
strangely, the longer when I looked it, it kinda started to stir my mind.
it made me wonder what's beyond the deep blueness sky.
in mere scientific context, it might be just a vast universe,
where the stars, planets and suns and galaxies were once born.
or there was someone, perhaps an angel
who watched over you at times.
or you tried to make out the image of your missed loved one
with the little white cotton candies in the sky.
it seems like an ever searching feeling of what was most desired to my thoughts.
occasionally, I watched a couple of birds fly pass.
how I wished that I could just soar freely high up above the sky
and for once I could look down from above
and saw that I was just part of all the small things on Earth.
that at the end of the day, things had to move on.
I wished it was just that simple.

"OK...Bicycle Crunches..." broke my silence of deep thoughts
I was back doing my physical training.
