i turn the music up, i got my records on

i shut the world outside until the lights come on

maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone

i feel my heart start beating to my favourite song...

bagpipes and the beat

Aha!

lala lala lala lala lala lala la la...

aha! caught you now! cost you to keep me quiet!

love the cello. can't wait for the video. aha!

Halo, Beyonce

Remember those walls I built

Well, baby they're tumbling down

And they didn't even put up a fight

They didn't even make up a sound

I found a way to let you in

But I never really had a doubt

Standing in the light of your halo

I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you breakin'

It's the risk that I'm takin'

I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

Hit me like a ray of sun

Burning through my darkest night

You're the only one that I want

Think I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again

But this don't even feel like falling

Gravity can't forget

To pull me back to the ground again

Feels like I've been awakened

Every rule I had you breakin'

The risk that I'm takin'

I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

Halo, halo

Everywhere I'm looking now

I'm surrounded by your embrace

Baby I can see your halo

You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more

It's written all over your face

Baby I can feel your halo

Pray it won't fade away

I can feel your halo halo halo

I can see your halo halo halo

midnight rambles, tambles and toos

it's 3 am and it must be cold out...

clarke quay is eerie at this time. it's a monday. the night prowlers' day of rest. the worker bees shall work. be it late, early or whenever. we all need to get some honey. my brain is quite agitated with thoughts of being magnificent (a piscean can never be 'ordinary'). i didnt meet the moon today, mind you. i only saw the stars.

tomato face and rare steak...

i watched these birds in the day sky. clouds too beautiful to forget. and a lesson learned. changi beach area is the hottest place in the world (in a very myopic sense). i have a neatly carved burn on my nose, thanks to my shades. my shoulder on the other hand, feels like a piece of cooked meat. its looking like that too.

incoherence, ideatic.

i have this poem in my head. ringing a tune. maybe it's a song. i never made my music. i never had the tune. the words are playing and the sounds are mute.

my paintings waiting for a brush to move.

the camera's sitting, dehumidifying. waiting for its next holiday.

i'm watching my fingers type nonsense in front of me. it's quite fun. i hope you enjoy this as much as i did.

i bid good night, and good morning -- and leave you with something to chew on...

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”

Hiding all the stars - chicane

You can say what you want
Find the path that you’ve lost somewhere
Be a fly on the wall
Take a dive or a fall in prayer
Everyday there’s a choice
Nothing gained from the path we know
There the ones to be wrong
Hiding all of the stars out there

i can see your faded halo...

are you being served?

choose your battles wisely. i had the unfortunate experience of meeting my landlord for the first time in the presence of a legal arbitrator (or should it be arbitra'i'tor). as tight fisted as she was, i have lost more money to this lady than what actually went down the toilet. if anyone ever has to deal with a real estate agent from SJK properties, or is looking to rent a 3A flat at telok blangah, please, please check with me to be sure you don't end up renting the property of the female of the canine species that i had the pleasure of battling with. afterall, the arbitrator said this was a business relationship where the landlord provided a service, and wherever there is bad service, there will be a proportional complaint.

moving on to more service related complaints. mobile one, has been awesome at customer service, until they introduced the iphone. by selling the iphone, the seem to believe that they are somehow, 'cooler' and more hip and so the customers don't matter anymore. but my guess is that once neil montefiore quit m1, they have been struggling. now that he's joining starhub, they're probably shitting in their pants. im looking forward to the new starhub where i wont have to wait 20 mins to connect to a pathetic customer service officer. (i reached the dhoby ghaut service station faster than my call could connect to a real human on the phone)

in any 'case' all this was a learning experience. happy things will still happen, like imogen heap coming to singapore... i only hope i manage to get the tickets in time *fingers crossed*... or it will be like listening to 'yellow' being played live over a telephone...

Love Songs - Anjulie

Love songs and limousines
Wishing wells and make believe
Disco balls and dancing queens
I fall so easy

Rich guys and candlelight
Telling me the things I like
I'm too young and they're too right for me

I fall so easy for cheesy things in life
Sad, sad movies make me cry
Pretty people I admire
I used to hate

I fall so easy for the stupid little lines
Hollywood and sunny skies
Fancy restaurants with three forks and knives
I fall so easy

Until you came my way
Turn my clouds to white from gray
Showered me with pink champagne
I let go so easier

That girl I used to be
Cynical and heartbreak free
Confidence exude in me now


I fall so easy for the stupid little lines
Hollywood and sunny skies
Fancy restaurants with three forks and knives
I fall so easily in love

i fall so easilee...tan tan ta ta nan tan tan

bin tere kya hain jeena

don't let the stars get in your eyes.

Le toi du moi

Je suis ton pile
Tu es mon face
Toi mon nombril
Et moi ta glace
Tu es l'envie et moi le geste
Toi le citron et moi le zeste
Je suis le thé, tu es la tasse
Toi la guitare et moi la basse

Je suis la pluie et tu es mes gouttes
Tu es le oui et moi le doute
T'es le bouquet je suis les fleurs
Tu es l'aorte et moi le coeur
Toi t'es l'instant moi le bonheur
Tu es le verre je suis le vin
Toi tu es l'herbe et moi le joint
Tu es le vent j'suis la rafale
Toi la raquette et moi la balle
T'es le jouet et moi l'enfant
T'es le vieillard et moi le temps
Je suis l'iris tu es la pupille
Je suis l'épice toi la papille
Toi l'eau qui vient et moi la bouche
Toi l'aube et moi le ciel qui s'couche
T'es le vicaire et moi l'ivresse
T'es le mensonge moi la paresse
T'es le guépard moi la vitesse
Tu es la main moi la caresse
Je suis l'enfer de ta pécheresse
Tu es le Ciel moi la Terre, hum
Je suis l'oreille de ta musique
Je suis le soleil de tes tropiques
Je suis le tabac de ta pipe
T'es le plaisir je suis la foudre
Tu es la gamme et moi la note
Tu es la flamme moi l'allumette
T'es la chaleur j'suis la paresse
T'es la torpeur et moi la sieste
T'es la fraîcheur et moi l'averse
Tu es les fesses je suis la chaise
Tu es bémol et moi j'suis dièse

T'es le Laurel de mon Hardy
T'es le plaisir de mon soupir
T'es la moustache de mon Trotski
T'es tous les éclats de mon rire
Tu es le chant de ma sirène
Tu es le sang et moi la veine
T'es le jamais de mon toujours
T'es mon amour t'es mon amour

Je suis ton pile
Toi mon face
Toi mon nombril
Et moi ta glace
Tu es l'envie et moi le geste
T'es le citron et moi le zeste
Je suis le thé, tu es la tasse
Toi la putain et moi la passe
Tu es la tombée moi l'épitaphe
Et toi le texte, moi le paragraphe
Tu es le lapsus et moi la gaffe
Toi l'élégance et moi la grâce
Tu es l'effet et moi la cause
Toi le divan moi la névrose
Toi l'épine moi la rose
Tu es la tristesse moi le poète
Tu es la Belle et moi la Bête
Tu es le corps et moi la tête
Tu es le corps. Hummm !
T'es le sérieux moi l'insouciance
Toi le flic moi la balance
Toi le gibier moi la potence
Toi l'ennui et moi la transe
Toi le très peu moi le beaucoup
Moi le sage et toi le fou
Tu es l'éclair et moi la poudre
Toi la paille et moi la poutre
Tu es le surmoi de mon ça
C'est toi qu'arrives des mois si ?
Tu es la mère et moi le doute
Tu es le néant et moi le tout
Tu es le chant de ma sirène
Toi tu es le sang et moi la veine
T'es le jamais de mon toujours
T'es mon amour t'es mon amour
