songlist 29/9 09

i simply have to redo my songlists!

top10

1) Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by John Mayer- Bitterness epitomised.
'i was the one you always wanted, you were the one i tried to draw, how dare you say it's nothing to me, baby you're the only light i ever saw.'

2) In Your Atmosphere by John Mayer- again, this would be my favourite except for the fact that there aren't too many versions of it (electric, acoustic etc.)
'think i'm gonna stay, gonna stay, in the grey, think i'm gonna stay... and all the streetlights sing nevermind, nevermind, and the canyon lines say nevermind... and the sunset says it sees this all the time...'

3) Winning A Battle, Losing The War by Kings of Convenience- this perfectly sums up my heart.
'even though i'm not her minder, even though she doesn't want me around i am on my feet to find her, on my feet to keep her safe from harm.'

4) I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You) by John Mayer- uber cool intro, wonderful lyrics. Win.
'and if my past is any sign of your future' or 'who do you love, girl i see through, through your love'

5) Say by John Mayer- CLASSIC DUH
'have no fear for givin' in, have no fear for givin' over, you better know that in the end, it's better to say too much than never to say what you need to say again'

6) Neon by John Mayer (WTLI Version or alternatively the Eagles' Ballroom funk version)-
Lyrics are pretty good, and the above two versions are simply unsurpassed in skill.
'but it's hard for me to take a stand, when i would take her any way i can'

7) The Buildup by Kings of Convenience- This song brought me through painful times. Sentimental ol' me can't part with it.
'the spinnin' top, made a sound, like the train across the valley; faded, oh so quiet, but constant till it passed'

8) Falling Slowly by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova- you should know this.
'i don't know you but i want you even more for that'

9) With You by Chris Brown- I reserve the right to go mainstream once in a while ^^
'you mean to me what i mean to you'

10) Good Love is On The Way by John Mayer- the best pick-me-up song ever.
'i'll be lonely but i know i'll be okay, good love is on the wayyyyy'


(:

don't worry, if you're reading this you're not the you mentioned.

sigh.


perhaps knowing too much isn't good?


fine lah password protect. hmph.

josh vs ben

she has a smile that melts my heart,
her radiant face is a piece of art.
i treat her to show, to let her know
there is no other girl, that could make my mouth curl.
i have made her sad, it makes me feel bad
but at the end of the day im still her good friend
and ill love her till the end.

she wears a smile like spring in may
her laughter cures a dreary day
i listen to speak, to show i seek
her tenderest truths, with patience as proof
i've broken her heart, it tears me apart
but careening in circles we're back at the start
and together we'll be set apart.


HAHA ben what do you think (: i love the contrasts.

oh no what's this

While looking through random people's blog archives I found some, uh








disturbing







stuff.


But all those were in like 2007-2008?




still some of it is quite inappropriate. ahhhh

a lengthy post at last!

Heellooo. I realise I haven't really posted a long post in an even longer time. Perhaps that's got to do with the coming EOYs. But i shall make a valiant attempt at catharsis today!

school schmool

School's begun again for me and it's 'back to the grind', as my mum likes to put it. It's even more hectic now, the exams are now exactly one month away (oh no!) At least I've started studying already. I know people who haven't started. Good luck to those few.

DMP was reintroduced after a whole wave of student protests, and it's really fun! For the first time I actually get to choose what I want to do.

Okay maybe not EVERYTHING i want to do but still i'm happy (:

boarding schmoarding

Boarding is actually really useful. For one I can actually study better in school. And the internet's up till 12 (: and it's the best feeling ever to exit the dining hall and lo and behold! you're in school already.

Although personally I feel that rollcall is rather unnecessary. Cuts into all my plans. Ah well. The food's really good too (so stop complaining that the chicken is like rubber all you maggots). Like, restaurant standard. Okay slightly lower BUT STILL it's very nice kays.

fly schmly

I'm glad to say that my CG is really getting all active and happy and high now! For one our CG identity is there (HAHA thanks to liz and jj and meee) and we all love each other lots. Although there's still a lot more that we can do. Of which I shall be talking to jiajun and liz and maybe niki (:

I really learnt a lot about our batch in the 3/4 of a year I really came back. Made a heck lot of new friends, reconnected with some old ones. There are a few really outstanding members in our batch which I have noticed. Again more discussion with more church people is required. :D

Worship has been really rewarding too. There is no other feeling like it, climbing onto the stage and really just having fun worshipping God. I believe as much as God wants us to worship him for being awesome and powerful (!!!!YEAH!!!!) I think worship in some part is also meant for us to express our love and get in touch with emotions. (:

on a side note i need tsura to help help help me and send me the thing for understudies so I can create a new-fangled shiny nice new proper training thing! as charged by random people.


finally i'm done. RE TIME

josh

hmm. while one is in boarding there suddenly appears a huge space of loneliness in one's chest.

The place is really quiet and none of my friends are here anw, so it's time to get some studying down.

(:

so great

it's been a long while since i last released an encrypted post.

i give up

i give up (give up i give up) why am
i doing all the dreaming
(weighed with all the worrying)
i shall place all you all out of side out of (mind me)
and watch little truths
lies
sideways glances
explode like little july fireworks in my sleep

i give up (give up i give up) why are
you always dragging up the dark
(dancing up the devil)
i shall put all you all away (is far away)
and watch little shouts
screams
words said on knees
rattle the bottles on a shelf called back then

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee

skills camp was fun, somewhat. random lectures.

Away from boarding and I find I really enjoy home better.



hmm. Somehow the words won't come out today.

board

And yes, I am finally in boarding. After 2 nights in boarding I have learnt some (interesting) stuff!

1) Laundry forms disappear FAST.

2) Everything needs forms.

3) You do not sleep earlier than 12 as a rule of thumb.

4) Roll call sucks.

5) Prep sucks (less).

Anyway, it's a lot better than i expected but STILL people are complaining about random things like the taste of the eggs at breakfast. Oh well.

Prep is coming. Time to mug maths and philosophy and lit (:
