Lessons in Life

I was asked to name things I learnt in life, and my answer was:

Lesson #1
Everyone is capable of anything. No matter how nice a person is to you, doesn't mean they're nice to everyone. For all I know, sometimes they're even able to do unimaginable things!

Lesson #2
Even though you think someone has treated you badly, they will always be able to find worse things to do to you. So forgive, but never forget.

Lesson #3
Whatever you do and whatever happens to you (whether or not it's because of your own doings), your family are the only ones who'll accept you for who you are.

Lesson #4
First impressions count. If your gut icks when you talk to someone for the first time, no matter how nicely he/she treats you, you'll realize their true colours are not amongst your favourite. Sometimes they’re not even in the same hue as yours.

Lesson #5
Nothing lasts. Even if someone declares an undying love to you, it won't. The love might, but the person will die (family members included). And so does pain and sufferings.
On that note, live every moment to its fullest - laugh and cry all you want.  Appreciate everything that's happened to you, because that might be the last time you experience it.



As I finished saying this, I noticed my acquaintance gave a grim smile and asked, "Are you sure you're only 29?"


… … …?

I got you

A place to crash, I got you
No need to ask, I got you
Just get on the phone, I got you
Come and pick you up if I have to

What's weird about it is we're right at the end
I'm mad about it, just figured it out in my head
I'm proud to say I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better, for worse I got you, I got you

Ain't falling apart or bitter
Let's be bigger than that and remember
The cooling outdoor when you're all alone
Won't survive it, no drama, no need for a show
Just wanna say I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better, for worse I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better, for worse, I got you

'Cause this is love and life
And nothing we can both control
And if it don't feel right
You're not losing me by letting me know

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better, for worse I got you

Go ahead and say goodbye, I'll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry, I'll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better, for worse I got you

A place to crash, I got you
No need to ask, I got you

Ma Petite Amie!

Little did I believe my parents would opt to help a neighbour look after their baby granddaughter. I saw the baby's crib the last time I visited my parents but it didn't register in my stubborn head that this is true. Until this morning, when I lay bedridden from viral fever, a lady brought a little baby girl into my parents' place.

I tried to stay away, afraid I might get the baby infected with the virus I'm having, but she's such an angel that I just couldn't resist! I was almost sure she'd scream as loudly as she could when I held her, but I was wrong. Boy, was I wrong. She actually kept quite and almost smiled, I think she was. And I was relieved.

What my mum said later made me choked - "See, I told you she'd like you.  Children love you.  You'd make a good mother".  Being 29 and single, which woman wouldn't feel the way I felt.  I've always love children -- and they always seem to like me.  Or at least I can get them talking to me rather easily than most people I know.  And I'd be lying if I say I never thought of having my own children.  I have, only with no boyfriends for so long, the babies are simply imaginary faceless cuddly bundle.

Whatever.  I'm just sad that my parents have to 'borrow' someone else's grandchild to love instead of their own.  I know how much they had wanted a baby in the household.  And right now, I'm running out of ideas how to cheer things up -- I'd better stop writing or I'm gonna end up writing some sappy fairy tales.

The munchkin who stole everybody's heart.

Joke of the Year!

I join Cha Cha class on Sunday, and one of my 'classmates' was this girl who claimed to have such experience in Latin dance.  I don't know how long she's been taking lessons because her maths really sucks (or she's just a big fat liar) - early 2009 she claimed to have danced for 8 years, then around mid year last year she said it's 10 years.  Based on her calculation, she'd have 15-18 years of Latin Dance experience today!

There were a bunch of Muay Thai people hanging around outside the studio last weekend, including the instructor.  When my Cha Cha instructor gave us a 2-minutes break, I went to get a drink.  I saw the 'Sessy Dancer' (that's what she calls herself, folks!) just finished drinking from the water-cooler and was turning away from me.  Then I heard the Muay Thai instructor said "Nice moves!".  And immediately after, the 'Sessy dancer' said, "Thank you!".  Then I heard her mentioning the word 'dance'.  It didn't really bother me, until I heard the guy mentioned something like "That wasn't meant for her" as soon as she was out of earshot.

Hoho... (ROFLMAO!)

All Cried Out

(Allure)
All alone on a Sunday morning
Outside I see the rain is falling
Inside I'm slowly dying
But the rain will hide my crying

And you, don't you know my tears will burn the pillow
Set this place on fire 'cause I'm tired of your lies
All I needed was a simple "Hello"
But the traffic was so noisy that you could not hear my cry

Ah, I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure
My heart never knew such pain
And you, you leave me so confused
Now I'm all cried out over you

Oh, you. I'm over you, oooh.

(112)
Never wanted to see things your way
I had to go astray, oh, why was I such a fool?
Now I see that the grass is greener [why oh why]
Is it too late for me to find my way home,
How could I be so wrong? [Leavin' me all alone]

(Allure)
Don't you know my tears will cause an inferno
Romance up in flames, why should I take the blame
You were the one who left me neglected [I'm so sorry]
Apology not accepted, add me to the broken hearts you collected

Ah, I gave you all of me [gave me all of you]
How was I to know you would weaken so easily
Ah, I don't know what to do
I'm all cried out [I'm all] over you [I'm cried out too]

[Whoa, whoa...]

Ah, I gave you my love in vain
My body never knew such pleasure
My heart never knew such pain
And you [I left you so confused, now I'm all cried out]
Now I'm all cried out....over you....

(112)
I'm so sorry babe,
Please forgive me...
