Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how

'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can

Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

i'm actually still doing this-

randomly dropping by my own blog before i sleep and realised that this place is seriously full of cobwebs and almost rotting already so i decided to do a random post to preserve this memorable blog-

half of my first semester in uni has passed, so quickly that it feels weird and somewhat scary at the same time. well fun times and some (really) nice friends make my struggle to reactivate my defunct brain less of a pain too (:

birthday was two days ago, and seriously realised how much my birthdays in the next 3+ years are going to suck real bad just like it did this year since every year on my birthday i'll probably be spending it in examination halls doing midterm tests. D;

einstein test was really ridiculous, there was no way i will ever be able to finish 40 relativity and space/stars/blackhole questions in an hour. plus a few mistakes here and there, my result for this test is seriously not worth looking forward to.

spent almost the whole recess week just to prepare for the math test a few hours ago. really wasn't what i expected at all. (already know the results but) after the paper i really was pondering whether my one week could've been better spent salvaging my physics instead. the paper was totally unlike any of the past years' i've attempted. well results wise i can't and really will not complain, but i've really got to say this paper took my by surprise. totally.

3 more days, 2 more midterms tests. shall play all i can after friday and during the weekends before its time to pick up from the lag we're all experiencing due to midterms week. perhaps they really shouldn't have lectures / continue to chiong chapters during midterms week, it's really not hard to realise most people in the lecture are actually revising for some other paper they have that day.

off to sleep for now, not sure when i'll actually be back but, goodnight world-

two years-

it's been two years;

exactly two years since grandma passed away. its been the longest two years of my life, mainly because of ns, but the memory of grandma's passing is still fresh and deeply etched in my mind. it also happened to be the third day of my alevels two years ago. retrospectively, i still thank God for taking grandma back at such a trying period for me two years ago. for one, grandma was relieved of her pain; and for another, perhaps the hectic exam period also helped to lessen the grief. either ways, i've learnt to thank you Lord for the way you made it all. and of course (in a slightly more jovial mood), thank God for not screwing up my alevels :)

i miss you grandma.

这就是爱吗-

22 days left-

the benefit of driving quite alot recently: i listen to 93.3 alot nowadays, and in the process i hear alot of nicee songs (: and! having a sharp ear for songs with nice/meaningful lyrics, i can often catch the lyrics the very first time i hear the songs :D

ahah another nice song by 容祖儿 (:

这就是爱吗
容祖儿

你确定这就是爱吗
真的爱我吗
手牵着手漫步斜阳 就当作浪漫

两个人眺望远方
以为爱的晴朗
当我回头望 却已泪湿了眼眶

当夕阳变成星光 当爱情换了方向 
你一如过往 对爱太紧张 
但未来又会怎样
未知的明天总让我旁徨 
谁给我力量

我不怕你 爱不爱我
只害怕你 以为爱我
抓紧我 不算拥有
你总学不会放手

我不怕你 不懂爱我
只怕你 把习惯 当作爱
你猜不透 我要什么

喔 你猜不透 我要什么

FOOTBALL - Bundesliga
14/10/10 - 22:57

Germans want Ballack to quit national team
A narrow majority of German football fans want captain Michael Ballack to quit the national team, according to a survey.

The SID news agency asked the Dortmund Polling Institute to interview fans and found that 55.1 per cent want the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, 33, to step aside.

This would allow Philipp Lahm to keep the armband he wore during the World Cup, and would pave the way for the new generation of young players who impressed in the injured Ballack’s absence.

However, the former Chelsea star is still viewed as one of the top German players, after he polled joint-second with Miroslav Klose in another survey among the sample of fans.

The veteran duo were viewed as Germany's top player by 11.7 per cent of respondents, behind only Klose's Bayern Munich team-mate Bastien Schweinsteiger (20.8 per cent).

Real Madrid playmaker Mesut Ozil was the biggest jumper in the rankings, more than doubling his previous level of popularity by polling fifth, with 8.4 per cent.



hahahah adel i bet you'll be damn happy after you read this (:

笨的可以-

笨的可以
郭采洁

听你开心说着 你的事情
我有一种莫名 心跳反应
夜深人静时候 突然想到你
没有原因 没有逻辑 谁能说明

总以为 我们是 地球的南北两极
直到 分开旅行 我才明白
有好多的话想说给你听

是我笨的可以 我们早就相遇
我说服我自己 这一切只是友情
是你让我相信 两颗心没有距离
我才发现 原来我爱着你

总是爱捉弄我 寻我开心
从来没有想过 会喜欢你
也许爱情就是 没什么道理
缘分来临 措手不及谁看得清

总以为 我们是 地球的南北两极
直到分开旅行 我才明白
有好多的话 想说给你听

是我笨的可以 我们早就相遇
我说服我自己 这一切只是友情
是你让我相信 两颗心没有距离
我才发现 原来我爱着你

是我笨的可以 没看穿你的心
还以为这只是 爱情无聊的恶作剧
是我笨的可以 我终于面对自己
勇敢证明 我是真的爱你 我是真的爱你

freedom-

25 days and counting-

uhh as you can see the last ord update i posted was 5 months ago hahah. but anyway! freedom is coming real soooooooon, but this last one month feels like the longest month in my life, ever.

got to start planning for post-ord life already too, i've got 8 to 9 months before school starts, and if i really do relief teaching it'll only start in january :/ i really need a job before that (and just in case there's no vacancies for relief teachers)... recommendations anyone?

anyway for the next 25 days (at least) i will make it a point to update this blog everyday, even if it's just to countdown the days till ord (:


p.s. adel i bet you wouldn't even notice i updated my blog hahah.

my fifa10 online stats-

found this website to make a gamercard for my fifa10 online gameplay statistics on playstation network-


stay tuned, the gamercard should update as i play more multiplayer games :)

countdown: 6 months-

6 months left till i ord-

anw, shit i just realised my last post was in january 18 hahah thats almost 4 months ago. but nvm since i have time today i shall update a little.

school-
reapplied for uni this year and this is what i got:

(from nus)
You have been offered Materials Sci & Eng in academic year 2011 - 2012.
The details of the offer will be stated in the offer letter.
Your letter of offer was sent on 23-Apr-2010.
For acceptance of the NUS course that has been offered to you, please refer to the instructions enclosed in your offer package.

got the exact same offer from nus as well (yes i want to know why both years both schools offer me the same courses, mech eng last year and mse this year).
after not-so-much consideration i've decided to accept nus' offer and do mse at nus instead of ntu.

still thinking whether i will attempt to apply for ntu aerospace engin again next year, got abit sian of applying and hoping and applying and hoping already. i'll leave that till next year to decide i guess.

decisions decisions-

as march is drawing near, uni application period is about to start again. and yes i keep having the same thoughts recently - am i really going to study mechanical engineering?

as much as i want to study aerospace engineering (and yes i will try applying again), i doubt i'll get in and will probably fall back to the second choice. but after one year i am actually starting to question my decision of accepting the mech. engineering offer last year. im praying for a direction, Lord.

anw chinese new year is drawing near and since my family didn't celebrate chinese new year last year (because of grandma's passing) i finally went to buy new shoes to replace my puma shoes with almost-flat soles. guess what, i'm sticking to puma still hahah.

alright, shall update again another time, off to watch House M.D. now, i've been watching alot of House recently.

thanksgiving before christmas-

because i had some impacted wisdom tooth extracted so i have more time at home thus i felt i should reflect on the year that passed-

in this extremely boring and mundane year that passed, i thank God for the following:

• for letting me realise how important simple stuff like family is to me. well, in being home everyday we often take our families and homes for granted, and often end up treating it like a mere hostel, where you go back and sleep and just leave the next day. but thank you Lord for making me realise and appreciate this simple yet easily forgotten blessing.
• for being with me every minute along the way throughout this past year. my prayers you have heard Lord, and thank you for that.
• while it hasn't been a big or eventful year i still thank God for the small stuff in this past year like passing my driving test, getting a place in an engineering course and all, many of which i probably couldn't have done without your grace.
• while some prayers may seem like they've not been heard sometimes, thank you Lord for making me come to the realisation that sometimes it is not just a simple 'yes' or 'no', but a trial to wait, and accept that if it is Your will, i will heed.

its been ultra long since my last decent post but i suddenly had the urge to update today. and just in case i do not update in time later, merry christmas to everyone :)

drive drive drive-

i finally passed my driving test :)

this has got to be the shortest entry since i started this blog hahah.

bowl bowl bowl-

had off today so decided to bowl in the afternoon at csc.supposed to bowl with weimin but he got recalled to camp last minute so he did not come and so i bowled alone-

anyway! i was quite happy with today's bowling :D 7 games total pinfall 1176, thats an average of 168.

ok fine the average isn't that fantastic but i was happy enough because i bowled two high games (high by my standards thanks) today :D
first high game scored 204, which i actually cleared a split to maintain a perfect closed game =)
second high game was 214 woohoo, also closed all frames but i had a turkey in my last frame so scored better than the previous 204 =)

OH YES (sad to say) 214 happens to be my all time PB too hahah am i noob or what =/ but nonetheless i'm still damn happy over my bowling scores today :D

music from the heart-

haven't been updating for quite some time! will update in the next few days, but i thought i would post the lyrics of this song just before i sleep. well written lyrics-

全世界的人都知道 by 王俞勻
[恶作剧之吻] 插曲

在见到你关键的第一秒
爱的情愫开始发酵
小心翼翼写给你的纸条
幸福划上星星记号

你像一座孤傲的岛
有自己的城堡
我是上不了岸的潮
也只能将你围绕

全世界的人都知道
一厢情愿是种烦恼
只要换你一次微笑
就算是做梦也会笑

全世界的人不知道
我不在乎付出多少
我想这就是幸福写照
任何人不能阻止我对你的好

sigh-

was too tired to update yesterday so i didn't-

anyway i went to BBDC to finish up the stupid final theory test that i obviously should've done last december to not waste time. anyway it was fine, and i passed, hahaa and i broke my record time of attempting 50 questions :) i did it in 7 mins this time heh. the auntie beside me obviously looked quite nervous (relax lahh) and looked like she's never seen an 11B in her life before, staring at my 11B that i placed on the desk =/

and so i'm meeting my instructor next wednesday to book my practical test. hopefully i can get a date thats not too far away please.. my initial plans of passing before my birthday seems impossible now that the earliest slot available (as of today) is on the 24th of september. by next wednesday i doubt i can get any slot before the 26th =(

and so its ndp rehearsal (eurgh) once again tomorrow and it will be the last time i'm seeing jake, he's been posted out to ADF since he's signed on as ADF. gonna miss his presence i guess, even though i've only known him after i got posted to the navy.

youth sunday this week, got to collect offerings so have to wear long sleeve and put on a tie. it's been like 9 months since i wore such stuff. never mind, i'll go find a tie for sunday after i come home from rehearsal tomorrow.

nothing else interesting in my mundane life at the moment. period.

P.S. yes i already expected that big TSKK from you miss-science-teacher! hahaa.

幸福遇见-

ON A HOPELESS PIG'S REQUEST, I'M UPDATING MY BLOG-

i received my pre-ordered 林依晨 album yesterday!
album comes with 2 folders (one with a cartoon of 林依晨 and one with her picture of course). the album also came signed in gold ink =D was admiring it before i went duty yesterday but didn't dare to unwrap the plastic covering the album as i was initially afraid that the signature was signed on the plastic.
i spent the whole night duty yesterday listening to 林依晨's new songs =) the tunes just keep running through my head hehe.

aight i shan't continue my blabber about how good 林依晨's new album is or i can imagine someone (who keeps complaining about my blog being dusty) giving me a very big TSKKK and a pig telling me i'm obsessed.


also went bowling with weimin in the afternoon, went to hometeamns a.k.a CDANS initially but the back end of the lanes were so dirty it wasn't nice to bowl so we switched to CSC after two games. oh well, the advantages of having a car to ferry you around hahaa.

final theory test is tomorrow at BBDC. which actually is quite dumb cos i SHOULD have taken my final theory test last december so i wouldn't have to waste time waiting in order to book practical test. miscalculations and lousy planning, thats me.

my internet is also finally up, no longer using starhub now but using singnet, still quite satisfied with it at the moment. and OHKAYY i will update my blog more regularly. (i didn't update my blog only because my internet was down for more than a week aight.)
