A girl that survived 9 months of being kidnapped..inspiring.
I've been bumming around these few days, trying to finish some M.U.N stuff. Gotta move my ass and start doing more things, life's not gonna wait for us, you know:). By the way, Happy Birthday to dear Mei Jun, whose character is the sweetest there is around.

Stop this train
Song by John Mayer
No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun
Had a talk with my old man
Said "help me understand"
He said "turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train
Don't for a minute change the place you're in
And don't think I couldn't ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we'll never stop this train"
Once in awhile, when it's good
It'll feel like it should
And they're all still around
And you're still safe and sound
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark
Singing
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I'll never stop this train
No, I'm not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can't sleep on this tonight
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it
Don't want to see my parents go
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own
Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can't take the speed it's moving in
I know I can't
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older
I'm only good at being young
So I play the numbers game

Complain Complain. Oh shut it.
Goodness me, I was watching blogTV for the first time, and then at the side they have this column where u can like post your messages, then messages will keep popping up at the side la, from the users.
So the topic was, "Why aren't we going public?" The show was investigating why singaporeans don't take public transport more.
As the show progressed, i just saw comments (at the side, that column thing), that kept saying:
"Buses so squeezy"
" The commuters are smelly"
"the buses not all have air-con, how to be world class?"
"Buses are smelly"
"we have to wait so long for the bus!"
"the bus is soo slow!"
"it takes so long to get to our destination!"
There was a lot more about such crap, but yeah i was kinda irritated when i saw all those. I know i personally don't think much public transport, other than holidays, i only take public transport on the weekends. Even when it's holidays, i spend my time walking more than anything, for eg. today, i walked to school, to lunch, and then home, and a lot of itmes, i walk to great world, to tiong bahru and so and so forth. But i take quite a lot of bus, cause there's a direct to church and all.
No matter how "terrible" our buses are, as those people love to complain, I'm just so confused at how we can feel this way.
SINGAPORE IS SO SMALL. the travel time we take is already considered OKAY. in fact, good. We have air-con! Thank God for that. goodness, in many countries they don't even have air conned buses. Thirdly, the bus has nice soft seats. If its dirty, at most its just dusty, come on, our classrooms are the same, right? Moreover, the fact we have an efficient public transport is already good! Children in Africa have to walk miles to school, everday!
These past few weeks, i've been taking super a lot of public transport, cause i have to fly from place to place, and i don't think its that bad. The journey is smooth, and is already considered comfortable, even though i'm standing all the time. It's the glum looks of the Singaporeans that kill my day. gosh, why can't they ever smile?
Is life that bad in Singapore, that everyone has to complain daily? Sometimes i'm guilty too, but honestly Singaporeans seem to be trapped in a bubble, OUR OWN BUBBLe, and we feel it with unhappiness and selfishness and god knows what.
IF you really hate public transport, just walk, lose some pounds, maybe it'll make you happier too.

Come What May-Moulin Rouge
This is so beautiful:
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...
Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Yes, this is only one of the 3 movies that brings tears to my eyes.
