switchfoot - the blues
Is this the New Year or just another night?
Is this the new fear or just another fright?
Is this the new tear or just another desperation?
Is this the finger or just another fist?
Is this the kingdom or just a hit n' miss?
A misdirection, most in all this desperation
Is this what they call freedom?
Is this what you call pain?
Is this what they call discontented fame?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
When the world caves in
I'm singing this one like a broken piece of glass
From broken arms an' broken noses in the back
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
You're pushing till you're shoving
You bend until you break
Till you stand on the broken fields where our fathers lay
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
There's nothing here worth saving,
Is no one here at all?
Is there any net left that could break our fall?
It'll be a day like this one
When the sky falls down and the hungry and poor and deserted are found
Are you discontented? Have you been pushing hard?
Have you been throwing down this broken house of cards?
It'll be a day like this one
When the world caves in
Is there nothing left now?
Nothing left to sing
Are there any left who hasn't kiss the enemy?
Is this the New Year or just another desperation?
Does justice never find you? Do the wicked never lose?
Is there any honest song to sing besides these blues?
And nothing is okay
Till the world caves in
Until the world caves in

super duper nice albiet depressing song! haha switchfoot rocks la. hmm anyway somehow pple have not been seeming to be able to access my blog and many other blogs too... but i can leh. maybe its internet explorer? hmm.
anyway, this past week has been majorly boring. everyday its been wake up, study abit walk around, check whats on tv and repeat the cycle a few times, then dinner time and so on and so forth. and there is two more weeks of this?!?!?!?! tis a sad day when the thought of going to school tomorrow is actually exciting :(
today, i was so bored i actually picked up tt dusty saxaphone and played for a while! haha. and my sax stamina is super bad now (stop sniggering!), kept running out of breath after a while, and after playing one or two easy songs i was so tired la haha. crap im super lousy. but its good to know that my fingers still remember what buttons to press even after my brain has forgotten how to read notes or what note goes to which finger heh. i guess psychomotor/music was never really my thing. so i have packed the sax away, hopefully it wont be another year before it comes out again! at this rate, the carpetting (croquet?knitting?) stuff will come out soon (i bet noone knows i used to do tt!). so as u can not the most productive of weeks, work wise. but ok la been chugging along at a respectable pace thus far. (for me laaaa) been also using my abundance of hours to inspect my old photos in my old phone, and i discovered a monster pic of myself! omg super funny la heh heh. i really forgot tt i had this phone for so long! j2 until the start of m2, and it has gone with me to many trips too... trusty old phone! yay. haha
ok. at the peak of my boredom today, i actually got the cam out and took some "arty" photographs of a cup of coffee i was making for my junkie self.
rather proud of them, if i may say so myself, heart shaped ice tray frm ikea coming in handy there :)
went georges last night and got scolded by mummy for being a bad influence on kids. i really need to find some friends of my own age man. but i guess its true la i do kinda fit in pretty well with younger pple anyway.(and its not my fault the only friend i have of my age in the east was busy dancing the night away...) went midnight blading just now with stef brand and a couple of brandons young punk friends, and i realise tt i may ACT young sometimes, but i am pleased to say im pretty sure i am more mature then them. haha. scant comfort when even kiddos 5-6 years younger call me childish :S
the rest of the day was spent daydreaming abt random stuff. daydreaming can be qt destructive sometimes u know. makes u think about stuff its better your mind does not linger long over. been reading The Sea by John Branville, the 2005 man booker award winner, and this is my second try reading it (hurrah!) i actually think i will be able to finish it this time. its ok i guess... very nice prose and all that, beautiful images but kinda depressing,when i read it it reminds me why i used to want to die when i turn 40. to be old is really crappy i think. Anyway. i spent a lot of my day dreaming thinking about my birthday! ok i know that its like half a year (and seemingly a lifetime, but im sure it will pass in the flicker of an eye, the ironies of life) away, but i got myself all excited abt it! haha. clearly a lamer. ok nvm hopefully i remember all my plans for when the day finally (and inevitably) comes!
