I Will Be Here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I will be here

I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen

And, I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing, and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I will be here

As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So, I will be here

I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the new tells us we're older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the One
Who gave you to me

I will be here

And, just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So, I will be here
We'll be together
I will be here

Better Be Home Soon

Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

Stripping back the coats
Of lies and deception
Back to nothingness
Like a week in the desert

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

So don't say no, don't say nothing's wrong
Cos when you get back home maybe I'll be gone

It would cause me pain
If we were to end it
But I could start again
You can depend on it

I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

Angel standing by

All through the night I'll be standing over you
All through the night I'll be watching over you
And through the bad dreams I'll be right there, baby
Holding your hand, telling you everything is all right
And when you cry I'll be right there
Telling you you were never anything less than beautiful
So don't you worry
I'm your Angel standing by

3 a.m.

she says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat
she's always worried about things like that
she says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault
and she only sleeps when it's raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
(CHORUS)

she says baby
it's 3 am I must be lonely
when she says baby
well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes
says the rain's gonna wash away, i believe it

she's got a little bit of something, God it's better than nothing
and in her color portrait world, she believes that she's got it all
she swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
and she only sleeps when it's raining
and she screams and her voice is straining
(CHORUS)

she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to
and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days
she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
but outside it stopped raining
(CHORUS)

If You're gone

I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak - but I think you're wrong
I think you're already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
Now I'm relaxed - I can't be sure

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in you

I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the moon just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feeling

If you're gone - maybe it's time to COME home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in…………………… you

I think you're so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
and I think I'm scared - do I talk too much
I know it’s wrong it's a problem I'm dealing

If you're gone - maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone – Hell, baby you need to come home
There's a little bit of something me
In everything in you, everything in ….in you.

One

Is it getting better or do you feel the same

Will it make it easier on you

Now you've got someone to blame



You say

One love

One life

When it's one need in the night

It's one love we get to share it

It leaves you baby

If you don't care for it



Did I disappoint you?

Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?

You act like you never had love

And you want me to go without



Well it's too late, tonight

To drag the past out into the light

We're one, but we're not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other

One



Have you come here for forgiveness?

Have you come to raise the dead?

Have you come here to play Jesus

To the lepers in your head?

Did I ask too much?

More than a lot

You gave me nothing now it's all I got

We're one but we're not the same

We hurt each other then we do it again



You say:

Love is a temple

Love a higher law

Love is a temple

Love a higher law



You ask me to enter

And then you make me crawl

And I can't be holding on to what you got

When all you got is hurt



One love

One blood

One life

You go to do what you should



One life

With each other

Sisters

Brothers



One life but we're not the same

We get to carry each other

Carry each other



One

One

3) Everybody Hurts- REM

When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone,
When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
Don't let yourself go, everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

- we have all been there at sometime when we felt like giving up but hope springs eternal

4) Bridge Over Troubled Waters -Simon and Garfunkel

When you're weary, feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all;
I'm on your side. When times get rough
And friends just can't be found,
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.

A bridge over troubled waters...enough said.

- a timeless tribute to love

7) Heart of the Matter - Don Henley

But I'm learning to live without you now
But I miss you sometimes
The more I know, the less I understand
All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again

I've been trying to get down to the heart of the matter
But my will gets weak and my thoughts seem to scatter
But I think it's about forgiveness
Forgiveness
Even if, even if you don't love me anymore

- a song of being hurt in love and learning to forgive....

8) End of the Innocence- Don Henley

- a song about coming of age in this world and innocence lost

Somewhere deep inside
Something's got a hold on you
And it's pushing me aside
See it stretch on forever
I know I'm right
For the first time in my life
That's why I tell you
You'd better be home soon

- poignant song about how sometimes we let true love slip through our fingers...

Things to do lists

1) Maybe go and apply for a taxi drivers licence (dunno when something like that will come in useful)

2) Get refund from Informatics (crappy school!! dun send your children there!!)

3) Buy some fish for tank in room (read:tetra)

4) To do routine check for Sunny (engine oil,battery water, radiator fluids..etc)

5) Send Sunny for a good car-wash

6) cancel subscription with Reader's Digest for something I do not remember actually ordering.

7) Make a new pair of glasses.Present one kinda scratched up and I think my eyes have devolved since the last time. Maybe I could gey one of them cool looking tinted ones!!

8) Re-design bedroom. Floor plan was devised with the plan of adding in a Queen's sized bed. But now looks like a single bed is all there is gonna be...*sob*sob*

9) Change my bed sheets. Do not remember when I last changed it. Ewwwww....

Been a while....

It has been a while since I last wrote anything worthy of mention. Nov 29th was the last time I actually wrote an entry. So what has transpired since then?

On Saturday I sent Sunny to the workshop for some minor repairs. The aircon was unable to work unless it was at the highest fan speed since the previous Saturday. So it made for a cold and windy ride. I finally found the time to go down to the workshop and get it fixed. The guy there did a thorough maintenance and repair of the aircon system. An overhaul more like it. He also found that one of the radiator fans was not working so had it replaced. I paid a grand total of $440.00 for everything. But somehow I felt like some of the repairs were not really necessary. I may not be an auto mechanic but everything is fine now with the car so....

Been down with the flu this week too. The worst part about having the flu with me is that I also get asthma soon after. Double whammy! It probably has something to do with the mucus or whatever getting into my lungs and my immunity level being down that causes the asthma attacks to come. This only adds to my insomnia problems that I have been having lately. I now wake up in the middle of the night wheezing. Kinda miserable existence like that....

Did I mention we have a new addition to the family? It's name is Camo (or is it Camou?), which is short from 'camoufladge',a miniature Chihuahua. A little livewire of a pup all of 7 weeks old. He is cuteness personified (or to be more precise 'animalified').Big eyes,pointy ears...you know the rest. Everyone that comes into contact with Camo seems to be entranced by his cuteness. I suspect he will be one pampered pup. Will post one of his pics here as soon as I get one.

The garden...it blooms. The planted tank in my room which seemed to be overwhelmed by algae problems,dying fish, snails and other complications seems to be suddenly growing like crazy. The riccia is growing and bubbling like in the books.Wow...I am so happy.....

On Friday Paula,Noel,Leonard,William,some ang moh guy whom I can't recall the name and I went down to see Passport to Smackdown at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. It was a great show although not as good as the previous ones we went to. The problem was as in attending any performance in Singapore is that Singaporeans are so darn inconsiderate! They just do not have civic consciousness. They block you when you are seated. They sit down when they should be standing. They stand when they should be sitting. They show little or no consideration for the comfort of their fellow countrymen. They always have to be told what to do and when to do it. Lost sheep.....

Ha haaa...also got a $30 fine for parking without displaying a parking coupon at the S.I.S.
