yay!!!
ok. the day started out bad. but i was happy to get my hands on the 25% discounted kayano shoes. so prestigious, so nice, so ... ...
but the color was bad, or so i thought initially. when it got home, it didn't look that bad after all! =)
anyway, while i was on the way home in the bus, i heard this over the seat, the mp3 player someone else was playing. relatively loud for me, was:
She's got me thinking about her constantly
But she don't know how I feel
well. i guess it really is for me though... i try my best to understand but they still dont really get me. i'm a little sad, a little disappointed, but i wont give up.
i'll still be there, for everything that happens, lest i'm put down, totally...
well... i guess the previous post was kinda touchy here and there, but it really is meaningful, as of now, i'm still thinking over it. life is really going on too fast. we should all slow down to look at everything around us, to care and love the people around us.
i'm not sure if it'll happen though...

i guess to many things happened these few days.
kinda stuck in the web of life.
stuck at where i am.
got my hair cut 2 days ago, taxo 2 days ago, medic test yesterday, 7ups yesterday...
i feel i'm being compressed, on the 6 sides of the word in a 3d shape.
those army guys really have to have lots of courage when they go out... those deceiving eyes... those glares... those words that kinda hurt you deep inside... and for everything else, the pain wont go away, till one finds solace in his mind of thoughts...
taxo's wrecked. 14 orders of class mammals. pinnepidae wasn't in, marsupials wasn't in too. took more than 1 million brain cells just to kill off this section. life is starting to be too happening. cant take that much.
life has got to slow down...
i wonder why we rush for time. too many things happening, and we all need time to comprehand what life deals out. try to take this in...

SLOW DANCE
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round?
or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight?
or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
you better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
do you run through each day
on the fly?
when you ask How are you?
do you hear the reply?
when the day is done
do you lie in your bed
with the next hundred chores
running through your head?
you'd better slow down
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
ever told your child,
we'll do it tomorrow?
and in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
ever lost touch,
let a good friendship die
cause you never had time
to call and say,"Hi"
you'd better slow down.
don't dance so fast.
time is short.
the music won't last.
when you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss half the fun of getting there.
when you worry and hurry through your day,
it is like an unopened gift....
thrown away.
life is not a race.
do take it slower
hear the music
before the song is over.

this poem was written by a terminally ill young girl in a New York Hospital.
she will soon leave this world due to cancer.
this young girl has 6 months left to live,
and as her dying wish,
she wanted to send a letter telling everyone
to live their life to the fullest,
since she never will.
She'll never make it to prom,
graduate from high school,
or get married and have a family of her own.
-----
life has to slow down, regardless of what happens. be it the troubles that we all have to face. the happiness that we all share, the fear of failure. slow down... live your life to the fullest...
dont drop any opportunities that come to you. make full use of it, learn and appreciate the reason behind.
create opportunities if they dont come to you. you will eventually learn even more.
no matter what happens, i'll be there for you. be it far or near, i'm just this far away from you...
well... i guess i'll just have to accept life as it is, and going with the flow aint easy too. all the guts, courage and everything else. life has too much for us to appreciate. stop rushing and avoiding. it wont make any good. learn to appreciate what life has given you, but do not succumb to fate.
going with the flow doesn't equal to resigning yourself to fate. it just letting nature take it's own course, letting the feelings flow, grow and nurture it to be stong.
be learnable. i'm just a normal person with a weak mind. so be it if it doesn't work out. hatred may grow, but it's not always for the better end

Firehouse
I live my life for you
Y'know you're everything to me and I could never see
The two of us apart
And you know I give myself to you and no matter what you do
I promise you my heart
I've built my world around you and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
Chorus:
I live my life for you
I want to be by your side in everything that you do
And if there's only one thing you can believe is true
I live my life for you
I dedicate my life to you, you know that I would die for you
But our love would last forever
And I will always be with you and there is nothing we can't do
As long as we're together
I just can't live without you and I want you to know
I need you like I've never needed anyone before
Chorus
I live my life for you

bah... so many things happened today, especially dinosaur (terrible lizard, but not all are terrible) exhibition at science centre. nourishing to the mind and enriching to one's life.
woke up before 0745 to see first light, then went on to prepare for dino exhibition. got my bio notes and a new notebk for the dinos. got a new refill for the G1 and a mech pencil which i also brought along.
got to the mrt by 0850, and i thought i was late. trip to cck from yck takes 32 mins. yay, i thought. actual trip, almost 42 mins, with 3 mins waiting time. how draggy... =.= anyway, hit the bio notes in the train, killing away the time =)
got to cck by 0932, and i thought i was early =.= ... wse was alrdy dere wif clarissa, don, lynette, steffie, algae n xavier. i thought that was all, but the mac across the road had more. nic, wc, foxy, sulo, gareth, tiff, shareel, victor... jus to name some la.
dino exhibit was quite long, but interesting and enriching. i didn't know that dinos could live near the south pole, nor near the north pole either. northern greenland in the US was once covered by the forests, as well as the outer rims of the north pole. how amazing. cold and dere's still trees? how nice =)
saurischians and ornithischians were the first few words of the dinosaur family tree. wow. dinos have family trees too? mass extinctions sure have their surviors for long, for them to eventually evolve into us. triassic, jurassic, cretaceous. how amazing. tyrannosaurus rex didn't meet stegosaurus, cos they were in different eras/periods (whatever u might want to refer to) - u didn't know tat till now? too bad.... hahas =D
---
velociraptor (fast thief) - how nice... giving this fast footed reptile some uncouth name, jus cos it steal eggs from someone else's nest? eww... u didn't know this too? aww... too bad XD.
anyway, he lived in the cretaceous period in mongolia (onli dere? no la! jus cos scientists cant identify doesn't mean dere is only one species since it's so ancient!) that's like 83~70mya la!
btw, jurassic park actually had this guy drawn up wrongly...
look here if you dun believe me
protoceratopidae (frilled lizards) - well well well... i guess triceratops had to fall into this category? (nah. triceratops went into another category in the late cretaceous period) protoceratops were from the early cretaceous period. they evolved yes, but they were not that close after all. different family, different genus, but still the same order. yes, they're ornithischian (go read up if you're still blur. here's a tip, bird-hips)
this guy lived in the early cretaceous period, which means that it didn't meet any velociraptor at all, and no t-rex.
psittaacosaurus (parrot lizards) - hmm... how shld i start on this? ...
ok. they had parrot-like beaks, bipedal, herbivorous (leaf shaped teeth, like the scissors) and had a special bone. the "rostral"
one of 4 branches of infraorder of ceratopsia, marginocephalia, ornithischian.
living in early cretaceous period, mainly mongolian area, no t-rex too =)
btw, sue is the largest t-rex found, in near complete form of fossils. how nice. it's "friend", stan is also dere, closer to the exit tho.
---
ok. i took a break at 1215 to have meal near the mac area at cck mrt. back at dinos' area 1450. just a short walk from the cck mrt. i'm left with nic n me, n she has to go at 1600. eww. a little sad, bt nevertheless, we re-walked the dinos trip and i lost my G1 on the way. eww i hate losing things... anyway, i took much more pics n 1600 came.
left at 1700. how nice. 3 shots in a day XD that's 10-bucks-for-3 for a 30-bucks-for-3. hahas =) learnt quite some stuff, although didn't have much to spend on the pathway to the omni. dere's many tings interesting at the science centre. i ought to check it out some other day =)
oh ya... dere's still REAL run, and i'm still here. dun be sad if i'm not dere k? cos i dun even noe if the first bus is fast enough to reach dere before u guys start running at the start-line. (and you know who you are... dun be too sad if i'm not dere when it starts =)

anyway, of so many pple taking, most results will be probational pass... exceptions ah... ermmm... i think onli nic bah... =D

todae still a little boring tho... no o.d.a.c. onli bio. zzz....
practical so hard. rethinking about i have made the wrong choice, but melvin's not so bad after all =D. at least now i noe wat's pressure, solute, water potential =X i guess like everybody learnt that like in the first 2 mths? ...
oh ya. i nearly forgot about this.... tmr going for dinos! science centre. jurong east 0930. hai. i take so long to go dere from where i am now...

Michael Learns To Rocks
25 minutes
After some time I've finally made up my mind
she is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
to tell her I love her and I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done
I find her standing in front of the church
the only place in the town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her wedding dress
but she's crying while she's saying this
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty-five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twenty-five minutes too late
Against the wind I'm going home again
wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends
But still I see her in front of the church
the only place in the town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her wedding dress
but she cried while she was saying this
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty-five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twenty-five minutes too late
Out in the streets places where hungry have nothing to eat
inside my head still I can hear the words she said
Chorus:
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
twenty-five minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry you are
twenty-five minutes too late
I can still hear her say.......

i was secetary for today and don was leader of the pack (hahas.... i like to say that we're a pack =D). i didn't run again today cos of ss. wrecked myself, totally cos of ss.
nic. how can you run with that kinda headache? you might just faint on the way u know? if you didn't know, that could've been migraine. anyway, good effort in completing the run, in full =)
don. i hope the run had been successful, cos i wanted to run but still couldn't due to ss. wrecked ss. it really puts people off. btw, how was i to open the store if you took the key with you!?!?!
mark. i was like wth. sunburn cannot run? ... amazed sia. but then again, if your back really hurt, then u shld go see a doctor and see what's wrong/injured. it might just be your spine...
lek.wc.clara. hope u guys recover well and soon. missed you guys around. seems kinda funny when we have lessons without lek and wc. hahas =)
after the run, IZ gave us some taxo review/recap about mammals lagomorpha sirenia cetecea carnivora insectivora rodentia xenarthra primates marsupials monotremes chiroptera (there's still more) ... and then we got back to earth's history. 4.6bya, earth was formed ... blah ... blah ... blah ... ok. i cut this short, or it would be never ending haha =)
anyway, don gave a very cut-short speech due to lack of time (it was already 1910 at least, but nevertheless, he still couldn't avoid it =X). his speech was about putting in effort into everything that we want to do,taking the initiative, and everything else.
we also had prashan in for today. he did like 24 rounds of lvl 3. lagging till the last round with 10 sec behind time, he finished nicely with the last round, 2 secs ahead of time.
CHEERS PRASHAN! YOU DID IT!!!
btw, prashan gave a nice, brief but complex speech about his lvl 3 run. he mentioned about not letting the people around him down, giving it everything that you've got, push till the end, and also the effort, the positive peer influence, the discipline.
IZ added on to prashan's and don's by saying that we need to put in the effort to do everything that we want, but make sure that we have the discipline and effort to keep it going.
anyway, wc is gonna be leader for next week, till further notice as he was sick today. wc, hope u get well soon =)

only love
2 a.m. and the rain is falling
Here we are at the crossroads once again
You're telling me you're so confused
You can't make up your mind
Is this meant to be
You're asking me
But only love can say
try again or walk away
But I believe for you and me
The sun will shine one day
So I'll just play my part
And pray you'll have a change of heart
But I can't make you see it through
That's something only love can do
In your arms as the dawn is breaking
Face to face and a thousand miles apart
I've tried my best to make you see
There's hope beyond the pain
If we give enough, if we learn to trust
[Chorus]
I know if I could find the words
To touch you deep inside
You'd give our dream just one more chance
Don't let this be our good-bye-----
i know that it's kinda wierd here, but i like this song very much. it shows me what's being sung, and that kind of feeling that comes with it. how come so many people are unaware of it? i'm amazed...
anyway, today ken told SL off, and i was actually a little happy cos i wasn't very happy at that time and his motion really sparked off the day. lols. SL retal on him by having like another word wif him later? hahas...
it was so sian tho, the lvl-trial was ok, but the ss kicked in on the 2nd round for 0 and i had to stop. what a shame. anyway, karmen broke 3 and we all felt happy for her. i hope she can get to 4, and start going at the guys ^^
after dinner, some of my friends and i went down to ah ma house to talk over some happy/unhappy stuff. wc cant control himself still, together with dom. still fighting... hai. when will they get more mature? (but then again, being grown up oso not that fun, have to give up so many things...)
i shall stop here for now la... if not this post like very long.... hahas..
but anyway, i maybe posting even longer ones nxt time =)
