the Blower's daughter...

this is a crazy week. week 6. numerous submissions, assignments, labs, lab reports to do, tutorials to complete...

sometimes i wish i can just slack and don't do...work is like never-ending, forever an onslaught of assignments and tutorials and projects etc...sucks to be an engineer, sucks even more to be a chemical engineer, (sucks)^Inf especially if u are a chem engin student trying to get a life, trying to pursue his dreams, trying to obtain good enough grades, all without having to sacrifice too much...

midterm break is next week, but after that is midterms. *drumroll* means more mugging, less rest, lesser sleep, lesser fun...

the only solace i get is probably from singing and hanging out with good, better and best frens =D. singing is a damn effective way to release emotions/stress, which i happen to have alot of recently. EA block fire escape staircase rocks =D. even though 'girl' says can hear me from 2nd storey, that doesn't stop me from practising. music and singing keep me sane; helps me to release anything pent up in me.

everything's so surreal, like a dream. is it real? or just a figment of my own fertile imagination?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i listened to the Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice last night. in the wee hours. when everyone was asleep. when i could only hear the gentle humming of the fan. even though the lyrics were so simple, so innocent, the emotions came through loud and clear.

sometimes, just a simple song can let loose what i've been trying to hide for the longest time. my weaknesses, past experiences, all coming back into memory...

the irony

the questioner bearing the answer to the question. it's just like a deafening silence.

an anti-paradox.

i can't answer, because only you have it.

张惠妹-如果你也听说

作曲:周杰伦 填词:李焯雄

为什么脆弱时候 想你更多?

如果你也听说
有没有想过我
想普通交朋友
还是你依然会心疼我

好多好多的话 想对你说
悬着一颗心没着落
要怎么附和
舍不得
又无可奈何?

如果你也听说
会不会相信我
对流言会附和
还是你知道我还是我

跌跌撞撞才明白了许多
懂我的人就你一个
想到你 想起我
胸口依然温柔...

haven't posted lyrics for a long time. this song is a cumulative effort from a*mei and jay. But what catches my eye (or ear) is the lyrics. so true...
