The Great Escape

November 29, 2007

Bad day, looking for a way,
home, looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away,
far from all the things that we are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
and breathes it out, he says,
bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.

Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo

Hey child, things are looking down.
That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.

Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo noo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo noo noo noo

Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
the great escape.

This song breaks my heart every time I listen to it.

Unkle Bob – Swans

By my side
You’ll never be by my side
You’ll never be ’cause
I’m fake at the seams
I’m lost in my dreams
I want you to know that I can’t let you go
And you’re never coming home again
And you’re never coming home again

By my side
You’ll never be by my side
You’ll never be

I wanted to tell you I’d changed
I wanted to tell you that things would be different this time

I see you
You see me differently

I see you
You see me differently

You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again
You tell me that you love me but you never want to see me again

Grass

The grass is not greener on the other side.

Neither is it greener on this side.

But the grass is greener only when you water it.

when you’re down with nothing, God is up to something.

Reminisce

Seems like I tend to use this word more often than I should.

All are simply memories now, part of the past, no longer of the present nor the future.

Met Mrs Gay today at Eastpoint while having lunch. What a surprise. Although we didn’t really like her during JC, I still felt a pang of familiarity when I saw her. She asked me where the rest of S06-ers went, whether I knew who is studying at where, whether I’m doing fine in S|\/|U.. she still seemed genuinely concerned about us even after a year. Wow, I realized the A’levels are just over – so it is exactly a year ever since we left TPJC. How we have come so far.

Anyway she has long hair now – haha. She looks older now though, and I also feel that I’ve also grown a lot since JC – not only in appearance-wise (eh but well I haven’t grown much vertically either -.-), but also emotionally and mentally. JC and Secondary school feels so much more sheltered, protected, safe. While in university, we meet all sorts of people – whether we like or not…

Well as I’ve mentioned, what’s in the memories are part of the past, no longer in the present, and perhaps never in the future. That’s why we cherish them.

Had someone linked here from that site. I wonder what emotion he/she clicked on that referred him/her to here.

I can’t remember when it was good
Moments of happiness elude
Maybe I just misunderstood

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find

So I’ll love whatever you become
And forget that reckless thing we’ve done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

And I’ll feel my world crumbling
Feel my life crumbling
Feel my soul crumbling away
and falling away
Falling away with you

Staying awake to chase a dream
Tasting the air you’re breathing in
I know I won’t forget a thing

Promise to hold you close and pray
Watching the fantasies decay
Nothing will ever stay the same

All of the love we threw away
All of the hopes we’ve cherished fade
Making the same mistakes again
Making the same mistakes again

And I’ll feel my world crumbling
Feel my life crumbling
Feel my soul crumbling away
And falling away
Falling away with you

All of the love we left behind
Watching the flash backs intertwine
Memories I will never find
Memories I will never find

Muse – Falling Away With You

Well..

I fared much better for my FA Quiz than I thought. Heh-

For others in S|\/|U, Week 13 is HELL week.

But not for me. No siree.

Last week was the hell week for me. So basically, I’m kinda chillax-ing now. Staring at the cover of a Haruki Murakami book. Glancing at the two burnt DVDs of Grey’s Anatomy Season 3 courtesy of Tim. Tempting.. so tempting. But I’ve got to finish up my article report by 2359 midnight today. And make sure FA term project does not exceed the limit of pages (which we have confirmed yesterday that it is 101% IMPOSSIBLE).

Ok. I want to do so many things during my December break. Cruise/Genting with Wendy and Lyd, camps, learn reggae, sign up for driving (ha ha ha… I thought I’d wanted to do that a year ago, procrastination really does wonders), play squash.

Before I embark on HELL TERM2. It’s really hell. I immediately get a splitting headache every time I glance at my timetable for next term- if you really want to see it…

2 morning classes consecutively. My Thursdays.. horrible timings.. Gone..

I really CMI for morning classes. I hate squeezing in the train with the working people. I hate waiting for the bus to Simei train station which takes forever to come, and when it does it’s packed like a sardine. :( And I seem to have an affinity for the snooze button on my handphone alarm..

At least I have Ah Mui with me for Biz Law. And Lijun for AS. And Wenbo for horrible Intro Econs. Or else I’d really CMI beyond CMI.

In conclusion: I’m not looking forward to next term.

I like the way you wanted me
Every night for so long baby
I like the way you needed me
Every time things got rocky

I was believing in you
Am I mistaken do you say,
Do you say what you mean
I want our love to last forever

But I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow

I like the way you’d hold me
Every night for so long baby
And I like the way you’d say my name
In the middle of the night
While you were sleeping

I was believing in you
Was I mistaken
Do you mean, mean what you say
When you say our love could last forever

Well I’d rather you be mean than love and lie
I’d rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
I’d rather take a blow at least then I would know
But baby don’t you break my heart slow

You would run around and lead me on forever
While I wait at home thinking that were together
I wanted our love to last forever
