隧道 － 林凡

时间一份一秒
心情像白云
自在地飘
独自坐在公园一角
任凭风冲进怀抱

十二点的钟声
传遍了
城市每条街道
期待拥抱
又害怕会被你知道

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我一直要找的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
我现在很好
和你在一起的每分每秒
就像走过
彩虹隧道

时间一份一秒
同一座城市
相互寻找
独自坐在公园一角
看着雨后的青草

十二点的钟声
传遍了
城市每条街道
有谁知道
我现在矛盾的心跳

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我一直要找的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
我已经看到
忐忑不安的背后是微笑
是我们的
彩虹隧道

幻想不停围绕
它很美
也很煎熬
我却无法选择
要或不要

到底是要远远看你
还是靠近一点更好
我不确定
你是不是
我梦中见过的主角

我用骗人的祈祷
骗自己
你没有看到
阳光底下
我的心像羽毛
跟你飞过
彩虹隧道

CNY

cny day1: i was the last to wake up. visited grandma in the late morning. brother drove us. he got his driving licence recently. didnt meet any of the uncles or aunt. left after some time and went to maternal grandparent's house. everyone was there. 大舅 and family went to batam for holiday. 小舅母 took out some old photos. really old photos. saw how my mother, uncles and aunt looked like when they were young. reminiscing the past. we all then proceeded to someone else's house. should be my grandmother's sister ba. so many people squeezed into the house. hahaha. i have no idea how to address the many many relatives, like my mother's cousins and blah blah blah. so we entered and just 'hello hello. happy new year!' our way through. as there were too many kids around, the elders that was giving out angbaos was confused. some were asking if we have received the angbaos yet. watched iron man while the older generation gambled.

cny day2: last to wake up again. hehe. watched tv and slacked around. played patapon. pata pata pata pon. pon pon pata pon. chaka chaka pata pon. hahaha. i'm addicted to this game. went out in the late afternoon to grandma's house. cousins, uncles and aunts were there. the cousins gambled. lost some money. haha. went home after that. went out again at 10+ to meet bernard and lejun for supper. reunion supper. lol. we ate pratas. as usual, they were talking about ns stuff and i listened. walked home at 1+ with lejun from sembawang.

stayed home yesterday. slacked around doing nothing much except using the computer and playing patapon. previously, mother had bought the stuff needed for the yusheng. at night, we lao-ed the yusheng before biao booked in. went to ssdc this afternoon. woo. was a bit excited. it's my first practical lesson. i drove the car. very fun. can only drive in the ssdc circuit because i havent taken the basic theory test and obtain the provisional driving licence. the car stalled a few times. mainly because i released the clutch too much. so funny. had the start the car again. practised braking, steering, changing gear. i'm looking forward to tmr's practical lesson. yeahyeah.

playing 老鹰捉小鸡 (eagle catches little chicks?) with the the kids. i am the eagle, marcus is the mother hen. hahaha.


i was about the smile. too wols le.

shopping

went shopping with ronald today. first to causeway before heading to queensway shopping centre. ronald needed a pair of running shoes. havent been to the shopping centre for a long time. was a bit surprised when i saw the many clothes shops instead of shoe shops. it wasnt like this previously, was it? hmm. bought more clothes at queensway and ronald bought his running shoes. woo. we both spent quite a lot of money. dont think i'll be spending much money on clothes again since the new clothes for cny had been bought. went to ikea in the late afternoon. wandered around. saw this bedroom. the layout was quite unique. next time when i have a house, i'll go ikea to shop for the furniture. hahaha. it was fun to visit ikea once in a while. you get to think about how you want your house to be in the future. yeah. me and ronald then slowly walked back to the mrt station. was shocked that my wallet wasnt with me! man. i lost my wallet. so we made our way back to ikea. heng ah. someone had found my wallet and returned it to the security room or smth like that. the security guard was saying they had made a public announcement just now but i didnt hear it. so lucky to find it back. should have asked the security guard for the contact of the person who found my wallet. wanted to thank him or her. thank you very much! i must be careful in the future. cannot be so careless le.

exercise.

exercise to keep fit and healthy. this is what i had been doing for the past few days. sat morning went to play basketball with pingkee. jumped here, jumped there. attended cdac in the afternoon. there were a few new mentors. did spring cleaning. threw away those unwanted things. wayne prepared a 'discovering my desire profile' test for all of us. it's quite accurate. but must be truthful when doing the test. it allows you to know yourself better and improve on your character or areas which you are weak in. very interesting.

met lejun and aloysius on sunday morning to swim. i'm still learning how to swim. lejun left early to meet gf. so me and aloysuis continued to stay at the swimming pool for a while. bernard came later and we had lunch at northpoint before going to safra to play pool. reached home in the afternoon and slept. i was tired. my legs were a bit sore. jumped too much on sat.

woke up early on yesterday morning. was going swimming again with aloysius. this time was at safra. i finally can swim a bit le. there's always something wrong with my kicking. previously i couldnt move forward just by kicking. now i can kick and move forward. at last. i must swim more. haha. ate at a coffeeshop opposite safra. played pool for a while after lunch. reached home at about 5. put down my bag and immediately went out. the weather was good. i had the urge to cycle. and so i cycled to woodlands. somewhere near kranji. cycled back. went to sembawang park 1st and then back home at 7+pm. tiring but fun. my whole body is aching.

this morning i overslept. rushed to ssdc. practised the theory questions. booked other slots for thursday. came home and slacked for the whole day. cycled to aloysius's house just now. had to borrow a memory card reader from him. but seems like it's not working. i plan to go swimming on thurs or fri. and also go jogging soon. yeah. that's about it. shall go eat my mee goreng now. haha.

Top Of The World - Carpenters

Such a feeling's comin' over me
There is wonder in most everything I see
Not a cloud in the sky
Got the sun in my eyes
And I won't be surprised if it's a dream

Everything I want the world to be
Is now coming true especially for me
And the reason is clear
It's because you are here
You're the nearest thing to heaven that I've seen

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

Something in the wind has learned my name
And it's tellin' me that things are not the same
In the leaves on the trees and the touch of the breeze
There's a pleasing sense of happiness for me

There is only one wish on my mind
When this day is through I hope that I will find
That tomorrow will be just the same for you and me
All I need will be mine if you are here

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

I'm on the top of the world lookin' down on creation
And the only explanation I can find
Is the love that I've found ever since you've been around
Your love's put me at the top of the world

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

i spent my last day of 2008 at pa's fish farm in limchukang. together with many many people. very close relatives, close relatives and not so close relatives. haha. actually it was because there is this prayer thingy that we have to go through once every seven years if i'm not wrong. reached the farm in the afternoon. some of my cousins were already there. initially, it was a bit boring. but soon, more and more people came. by about 10pm, there were many people. a lot of small kids. probably around 20? the place was like a child care centre with little children running here and there. i celebrated the new year with my cousins. we gathered and brought the box of party poppers to the gate of the farm. didnt really count down to 2009. i think we missed the time. hahaha. so we just popped, played around and took some photos. so fun to be with them man. the prayer started at about 1am. and lasted till 4+, 5am. everyone was so tired. many went back home after it. i stayed with some cousins. slept from about 6am to 8am. went out for a walk to another farm nearby, wandered around and came back. those who went home came back too. though the prayer was over, there was still a 10-course lunch. 13 tables. many many many relatives came. more than last night i guess. the offerings for the prayer were distributed and soon many left. we, being the host, stayed behind to clear the stuff and left only in the late afternoon. reached home at 6+ just now. so tired.

yesterday's countdown was totally awesome man. at limchukang. ulu ulu place. it had been a long time since i last went there. everything is still the same. nothing has changed much. the cousins have become closer than before. yeah. there's plan to have a singing session together in feb. i'll be meeting them again 2 days later. coz one of them is getting married. my 好表哥. the couple have been together for 8 years since poly. woo. looking forward to 3rd. we gonna have fun together man. tmr will be fun too. meeting up with 1007 to play volleyball. yeahyeah.
