everybodys dancing in the moonlight
dancing in the moonlight
everybodys feeling warm and bright
its such a fine and natural sight
everybodys dancing in the moonlight
- Dancing in the moonlight

High on Super Junior

http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=fXxbvfz7uI0&feature=related

influenced by kaka my k-pop crazy colleague,
Super Junior has some very nice songs.
and "No Other" is the latest one i am hooked on. super catchy!
the lyrics are <3>

---

"No Other"

There's no other like you
When I looked around they're all just the same
Where can I find a good person like you
Where can I find a good person like you
A good heart like you
A good gift like you

What a relief that it's me trying so hard to protect you
Where can U find a person as happy as me
a person as happy as me
A person that's smiling like me
The happiest person

When your warm hands turn cold, when it gets cold
When a strong heart like yours get damaged badly
I'll hold you, I'll hug you gently
I wish that it could cheer you up
You don't have to know my heart that's always trying to do more for you

My heart yells and tells me, my free soul
There's more days ahead of us than the times I loved you with feelings I had in the beginning

There's no other like you
When I looked around they're all just the same
Where can I find a good person like you
Where can I find a good person like you
A good heart like you
A good gift like you

What a relief that it's me trying so hard to protect you
Where can U find a person as happy as me
a person as happy as me
A person that's smiling like me
The happiest person

When the poor heart of mine shined bright and started changing
Preventing my small greeds from overflowing
When the dish of my heart grew bigger
I already know that the reason for all that was because you were there for me
Just that one reason
I'm always thankful, I won't be able to do as well as you do

My heart yells and tells me, my free soul
There's more days ahead of us than the times I loved you with feelings I had in the beginning

There's no other like you
When I looked around they're all just the same
Where can I find a good person like you
Where can I find a good person like you
A good heart like you
A good gift like you

What a relief that it's me trying so hard to protect you
Where can U find a person as happy as me
a person as happy as me
A person that's smiling like me
The happiest person

Rap) You know, I'm a little bit, just a little bit shy, but
you don't know, my heart is hotter than the sun, know my heart more
The girls that come out on TV shows have an aura of light on stage, but
you're always blinding (I go crazy crazy baby)
I get the whole world when you say that you love me
You & I, You're so fine will there be any other like you
I love you Oh, To me you're the only one
To a fool like me, please understand that you're my all

We walked down the same road
We're becoming more alike
I'm just surprised, I'm just thankful, I just love you

There's no other like you
When I looked around they're all just the same
Where can I find a good person like you
Where can I find a good person like you
A good heart like you
A good gift like you

What a relief that it's me trying so hard to protect you
Where can U find a person as happy as me
a person as happy as me
A person that's smiling like me
The happiest person

There's no other like you

the "No Other" lyrics reminds me of "You're my number one" by S Club 7
so 1990s i know but i loved that song.

"You're My Number One"

Na na na na..
What is love, cos baby I don't know
I got a funny feeling in my heart
If this is love - it feels like butterflies

So tell me baby is this how it starts
I know I've never felt like this before
You're like a drug you got me wanting more
I've got to let you know - I've got to let you know
You're - you're my number one
I'd do anything for you
Catch the rain from the sky, even hold back the tide for you

Baby baby, you're - you're my number one
With you I know I belong
I put the radio on and it's always playing our song

Na na na na..
Tell me what - what have I gotta do
Cos I wanna lay a claim on you
To make you mine - for now and for all time
So tell me baby what I gotta do
I know I've never felt like this before

You're like a drug you got me wanting more
I've got to let you know - I've got to let you know

You're - you're my number one
I'd do anything for you
Catch the rain from the sky, even hold back the tide for you

Baby baby, you're - you're my number one
With you I know I belong
I put the radio on and it's always playing our song
And there ain't nothing I won't do
I'd walk on water just to be with you

Baby baby, you're - you're my number one
I'd do anything for you
Catch the rain from the sky, even hold back the tide for you
Baby baby, you're - you're my number one
With you I know I belong
I put the radio on and it's always playing our song

-

Who, who would catch the rain for me?

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

amigo

out of nowhere
i found myself humming this song this afternoon

i remember how huiling and i used to sing this in secondary school.
haha.

it has really meaningful lyrics.
it feels so apt now.

---
I don’t have to say
A word to you
You seem to know
Whatever mood
I’m going through
Feels as though
I’ve known you forever

You
Can look into my eyes and see
The way I feel
And how
The world is treating me
Maybe I have known you forever

Amigos para siempre
Means you’ll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

We share memories
I won’t forget
And we’ll share more,
My friend,
We haven’t started yet
Something happens
When we’re together

When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye
I’m alive when we are together

Amigos para siempre
Means you’ll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

When
I look at you
I wonder why
There has to come
A time when we must say goodbye

I’m alive when we are together
Amigos para siempre
Means you’ll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

I feel you near me
Even when we are apart
Just knowing you are in this world
Can warm my heart
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre

Amigos para siempre
Means you’ll always be my friend
Amics per sempre
Means a love that cannot end
Friends for life
Not just a summer or a spring
Amigos para siempre
Amigos para siempre

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

Heavy rain


Like flash floods which occur so quickly
brought upon by heavy heavy rain
Before we know it, the water is already beyond ankle-deep
Submerging cars, uprooting trees, creating waves in our hearts
Threatening to swallow this island up at times

Just like flash floods
Some things occur in flashes
Suddenly,
Unexpectedly
You wasn't even imagining
Nobody said a thing
Flood just came, just took control

---
Damage control wasn't as intensive as imagined
Shock factor less than thought
I'm glad
Once again, digging out ghosts of the past
Not so pleasant
But it had to be done

Whatever happens,
I know some things will not change.
Que sera, sera
This seems overused but
Old sayings always contain some bit of truth

Same same but different
I like this feeling
Its been there, all along
And it seems like I only gained super sight recently
Timing wasn't perfect
On hindsight
Now its like finding the last piece of the jigsaw to complete that puzzle
And I found it under my land
Right under it

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

WHO'D HAVE KNOWN; Lily Allen

for some reason, this song sneaked back into my brain.

It's 5 o'clock in the morning
The conversation got boring
You said you were going to bed soon
So I snuck off to your bedroom
And I thought I'd just wait there
Until I heard you come up the stairs
And I pretended I was sleeping
And I was hoping you would creep in with me

You put your arm around my shoulder
And it was good the room got colder
And we moved closer in together
And started talking about the weather
You said tomorrow would be fun
And we could watch a place in the sun
I didn't know where this was going
When you kissed me

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known?
Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone
No longer feel alone

I haven't left you for days now
And I'm becoming amazed how
You're quite affectionate in public
In fact your friend said it made her feel sick
And even though it's moving forward
There's just the right amount of awkward
And today you accidentally called me baby

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known?
Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone

Let's just stay
Let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
You told your friends they all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Let's just see how it goes
Let's see how it goes

Are you mine?
Are you mine?
Cause I stay here all the time
Watching telly, drinking wine

Who'd have known?
Who'd have known?
When you flash up on my phone
I no longer feel alone

Let's just stay
Let's just stay
I wanna lie in bed all day
We'll be laughing all the way
You told your friends they all know
We exist but we're taking it slow
Let's just see how it goes
Let's see how it goes

---

it's strange, how "when it comes, it all comes" seem to be happening to me again.
a series of meet-ups....
for a string of unknown reasons.
and i am running low on excuses.

i saw this particular date on the calendar,
vastly different things came to mind.
time plays funny tricks on us,
but im in no hurry.
this time round,
im taking my time.

some things move in circles,
others move in straight lines.
but who'd have known?
certainly, not me.
and perhaps, that is the beauty of it all.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

Pleading the fleeting moment to remain
From 'Man and Wife', Tony Parsons

Thought this phrase was so beautiiful

-----

Alone, yet not so
Clear, yet unknown.

I'm surprised,
Seemed like a series of goodbyes.

The truth, and the ruins
Or indeed, not necessary.

Time will tell.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

good good news

i've been confirmed!!!
it feels like i've been here forever though.
im thankful for the great, crazy colleagues i have (sky, jacq, shirlyn, nancy and all the others that comfort me when i'm having bad days), and the environment i'm in.
little things that i used to take for granted,
like air-conditioned boardrooms, pantry with milo dispenser, fridge, fruits and newspapers/magazines to read.
(:

for all that i have today, and for all that i have yet to achieve...
i will persevere on!

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

from far away

something made me smile today
hehe.
i received a postcard from someone.
it came from mongolia.
it's been a while
a long while but seeing that scribble, that handwriting
put a little smile on my face.
brings back memories of long ago.
like the history questions he wrote down on the PRSS foolscape paper for me.
like the dozen of letters i threw away in a moment of anger & foolishness.

just a few lines but its the thought that counts.
i didnt expect that i will get a postcard.
its going up on the wall right next to my bed.
as a testimony that our friendship survived
despite all those silly matters
(:

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

Dizzy woes

Today I almost fainted again
Wonder since when did my body become so weak
The weather, I blame it on
So terribly hot
I felt so light headed, and breaking out in cold sweat
Yet I felt so hot and my chest felt like there were no lungs inside
Black spots swarm around me each time I stood up
Yet I felt no better sitting down

Its really not a nice feeling
I wished someone cld hv just knocked me out
Seems like I need to take more nutritions and vitamins
From now on!

And I so nd a body massage
Aching bones

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

on repeat - 周杰伦's 新歌

说了再见

你的笑 你的好 脑海里 一直在绕
我的手 忘不了 你手的温度
心碎了一地 捡不回 从前的心跳
身陷过去 我无力逃跑

说再见 才发现再也见不到
能不能就这样忍着痛泪不掉
说好陪我到老 永恒往哪里
找再次拥抱 一分一秒都好

---

超人不会飞

Oh~如果超人会飞
那就让我在空中停一停歇
再次俯看这个世界
会让我觉得好一些

Oh~拯救地球好累
虽然有些疲惫
但我还是会
不要问我哭过了没
因为超人不能有眼泪

i feel so tired nowadays.
must be PMS + fatigue + other unknown illness
sleeping before 12am or even 10pm, doesnt curb this tiredness.
my eyes want to close already.
somehow i've been feeling blue these days,
it could be the PMS me.
or it could be attributed to other things.

things that i cant say out,
things that can't be photographed.

it's been some time.
somehow its not as hard this time round.
perhaps im numb.
i feel like a different me.
but it is actually much-welcomed.
how long more, for me to keep this up?

i can't wait for phuket.
another colleague going on leave, and i have to take over some stuff.
thank God she is only away for 3 days.
it shall be my turn soon.......
to dump my things.. hehe.
im wondering if i should take a longer leave to rest at home.
just lobo and tuang.

we need another trip to eat the claypot rice.

csbs - bintan trip (8-10th May)

as promised, i will blog about our wonderful trip.
so here goes, a little post to help trigger my memories..
incase i suffer from Alzheimer one day or simply just affected by roland's fish memory.

our group photo at tanah merah ferry terminal. before setting off.



bought this hot pink googles and tried it on. i look like a fish. a bimbotic one.



here's roland trying out the slide. the swimming pool is just 3 minutes away from our villa.
so accessible. this was the 1st day i think.




the blue sky and clear water of bintan...


these photos very "sex & the city" right, hehe.. we are just missing one more member!






and when taking this photo, roland/mingkeat said "感情好好。。 一拍完照,就walk in different directions"... damn funny!!



and this is the most feet-boggling stuff that happened to a few of us (shall not name names huh.. hehe) during the trip... stepping on pieces of disgusting black tar on the beach... and then spending an hour scrubbing off the stains... till i suggested to them to use a toothbrush (:

here's me on the 2nd day waiting for everyone else to get ready.


then i saw doraemon on tv! haven watch the cartoon for ages.


then it was time for ATV!! woohoo, it was super fun.
although initially i didnt really thought it will be fun but i was proven wrong.
personally i prefer the car version cuz its much lower and when you drive through the muddy part i felt like i was in some survivor tv showcast.





we are also going to try the ATV in phuket in our upcoming trip.
looks even more muddy & exciting! need to prepare some dark clothing!

then during 2nd night dinner, i saw this board. Bad Day Banisher! hehe. so cute...
and the Pearley White Protector. such creatives mocktail names.


it was really a very memorable tuang trip. the service in bintan resort was good, the people were polite and mostly spoke english. the beach was good enough, the food a tad too expensive (the SGD25 1.5Litres coke bottle!!) but most of all the company was most enjoyable. the 2nd night while we talked for a couple of hours in sj and my bedroom, really brought me back to the days back in hall when we would just slack in roland/mk's room... gossiping, sharing secrets and laughing at each other's antics. (:

even though at times i was a little spaced out, but it was a rejuvenating trip. now i cant wait for the next tuang. really thanks to roland and mk who planned almost everything. i only went for the trip and did nothing at all.. oops! hehehe...

one last photo to say it all.


i hope this friendship will always remain... even though it may be hard to get everyone.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

closer.

Booked the hotel!

Sugar Palm Resort - Deluxe Pool View (with Breakfast)

The impeccable design touches extend to your personal space with all-round cozy comforts of private balcony overlooking the central swimming pool below. You’ll fully appreciate the first class array of contemporary and modern comforts and easy to access to Bathroom with private shower and bathtub. Each room offers exclusive individual whisper-quiet air conditioning. Comfortable furnishings are an integral part of the decor. Choose from a variety of bed sizes and sleeping arrangements, and each room comes complete with a large color television, mini-bar, plus complimentary coffee and tea, and wireless internet access.

http://www.sugarpalmphuket.com/

sounds good huh. for $104 for 3 people per night.
since we are going to be there for 4 nights, we decided that it needs to be comfy.
Sugar palm looks & feels like a condominium! love the black swimming pool.
perhaps when we have more budget in future, we can go for those really resort type.




i love this shot with the rounded frames. very lomo, dont you think?








Hope we will get an airy, violet themed room!
all the photos make me feel so excited....

And we shall draw another version of this on the sandy beaches of Phuket. (:



and catch the sunset...


goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.

impulsive, crazy, spontaneous

but we did it.
i told roland there's cheap tickets to phuket,
and within 6hours, we booked ourselves tickets to phuket along with shujing.
the yosh-es trio going on yosh trip! hahaha

it is damn sudden, i know.
it is just next month in fact.
5 weeks only to our csbs downsize trip.
as shuwan & siting are already going on their own, and mk cant make it.
so here we come.........
now i just need to get my leave cleared.. i hope it will be annual leave and not no pay by then!

it is so egg-citing to do something so random, crazy, and unplanned for, sometimes.
although they say that two is company, three is a crowd, but i believe,
we will still have a good time there.
although unknowingly the dates i chose to accomodate the cheapest flight fares,
is quite long, 5 days 4 nights.
longer than our bintan trip wor.
haha.. but i think we can spend 1 day hibernating there...
anyway all of us have not been to Phuket before so i am sure it will be an interesting fun and memorable trip!

it is also another very much needed get away since i have worked so hard for the past 3 weeks.
OT-ing almost everyday.
thank goodness there're so many loving people ard me (:


sandy beach & blue sea,
it shall be another tuang trip!

i really like the whole spontaneity of 'quick, lets book tickets and then plan everything else'.
we're only young once.

goodbye or see you,
I'll be your best kept secret or your biggest mistake.
