Woke up this morning..to a grey sky..
It reminded me of this song..
Yea....Best I Ever Had..
By Vertical Horizon..
Everytime I hear this song it tingles, tangles up the feeling inside of me..
HAHA...
I wonder y...
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
Nothing's quite the same now
I just say your name now
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had
So you stole my world
Now I'm just a phony
Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely
Send it in a letter
Make yourself feel better
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had
And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right
So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
What was it you wanted
Could it be I'm haunted
But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
I don't want you back
You're just the best I ever had
The best I ever had
The best I ever..........Take a look at this tattoo...
Nice? I should get 1 of those on my shoulder blade rite??
Half Angel..Half Devil wing..Cos I can be nice..I can be not nice!
Muahahhahahahhaa...(Evil Laff..)
Its really not so bad..
U're just the best I ever had...
(only becos u are the only 1 i ever had...)

I cry myself to sleep again tonight
'Cause I cannot hold you tight.
I wish I could see you again tomorrow
To take all this sorrow
Sorrow, I'm hollow
When I touch you
Can you feel It
When I need you
Can you give it
When I look in your eyes
Can you see me
When I fall
Will you catch me, catch me, catch me
Misery
Is what I feel
When you're not around
So I can't heal
Misery
Is what I feel
Is what I feel
These tears on my face
Are for you
I wish that I could hold you
Touch you, feel you
My heart is bleeding
Can't you see
I wish that you could hold me
Touch me, feel me
Misery
Is what I feel
When you're not around
So I can't heal
Misery
Is what I feel
Is what I feel
Misery
Is what I feel
When you're not around
So I can't heal
Misery
Is what I feel
Is what I feel I sat infront of the com the whole day...slack...online! Appear online status! HAHA.. and yet nobody talks to me...hmmm...the only few are weiquan...my pri sch frens..afew hpt ppl...

hmm...nth much....
anyway..
as usual..i'll end with a song...a song which has an inner meaning..
In Santa Monica in the winter time
The lazy streets so undemanding
I walk into the crowd
In Santa Monica you get your coffee from
The coolest places on the promenade
Where people dress just so
Beauty so unavoidable
everywhere you turn
It's there
I sit and wonder what am I doing here?
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
Or would you?
In Santa Monica, all the people got
modern names
Like Jake or Mandy
And modern bodies too
In Santa Monica, on the boulevard,
You'll have to dodge those in-line skaters
Or they'll knock you down
I never felt so lonely,
Never felt so out of place
I never wanted something more than this
But on the telephone line I am anyone
I am anything I want to be
I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer
And you wouldn't know the difference
On the telephone line, I am any height
I am any age I want to be
I could be a caped crusader, or
space invader
And you would know the difference
Or would you?am i who i am??
am i who u think i am?
am i all i am not?
am i all that i can't be?
am i all that im tryin to be?
am i anything i wanna be?
am i everything i've become?
im sorry...
- 9:55 AM
waT a weeK..
sit test was like..cool..
i was climbing here and there, jumping all around..
proning, fallin, trippin over twigs, leopard crawling..baby crawling..til my knees hurt and my arms ache..
but, sit test is still fun! y??
cos no need to camo on..
no 5BX in the morning..
the only killer was the route march..
which is called a fast march..
the main purpose was to shag us out and make us cannot think..
wa lau ehh! our hair gone already we cannot think liao correctt????!!
HAHA..
sit test went on, external examiners came(reservist personnel..) some fat, some skinny, some old, some hagged, but all NS trained..and at least a full liutenant rank..meaning 2 chocolate bar..HAHA..
anyway, sit test is based on missions..
6missions a day..
2 days..12missions..
meaning that i lashed for them for 12 times..
sometimes if u connect more than 4 poles together u have to do 4 lashings..
we made a table which i had to do 6 lashings..
on the whole, i think Charlie was great!
Charlie, to HQ over..
I was a signaller, so I used to comms set, which looked like a walkie talkie, HPT shld get that man..tt thing has a ear piece, water proof mouthpiece, all that la.. push to talk button, freq range 2km..freq at MHz.. wah...but SAF can afford betta stuffs la..i noe..
haha..
somemore that earpiece stuffed into dunno how many person's ear already...eeeeek!!
then came national day,
this was wat happened..
"the parade is formed up and is ready for ur inspection sir!"
...sword salute..
blablabla...
music...
blablablaa...
boOooOm!!!!!!
1st arti fires...
"OK! bye mom, bye dad.."
HAHAHA..
thats how pathetic it is..
leavin home on the 1st arti fire..
hahha..
hmm...then RANGE..!!
woOo hoOo...
nth much, juz fire at the target, ppl with more hand strength can endure the weight of the rifle more.. ppl with less(like me) have to put down to rest for deliberate targets, which is OTOT fire..
snap targets are like...4sec up...6sec down..
then nite fire..
this wan rocks man!!
1st round..tracer round........
its a red colour bullet that flies thru the air and cuts thru the wind and makes a damn nice sound..
its to trace where ur shots land and whether it hit the target or not, if it hits, the target will light up..
yepp..
then all 16 lanes firing together makes the atmosphere seem like its a Star Wars scene like that..
damn cool la...
its like Anakin blockin the laser gun shots and repelling them back..
woOo..
haha..
wat a week!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wednesday, August 09, 2006

haha..

Booked out on fri..Book in on sat..
Army life sucks!
8pm reach home..8pm book in..
Sit test and range coming up..
As usual,
I'll leave with a song..
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
and sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I amdo u noe who u are??
i dun understand myself aso..
guess everything's made to be broken..
