If anyone spot me involving in any of the following activities, they know I'm bored, overly bored, suffocating in boredom....
1. Craving for chocolates and salad...thinking if it's really convenient to go all the way to suntec to get one of my favourite choco.
2. Holding the tv remote control and starring at whatever programme's on for an hour or more.
3. Thinking what gifts to get for the soon-to-be-celebrating-birthday person.
4. Getting unnecessary cuts and wounds from tidying places in the house that I rarely touch
5. Reading a magazine from cover-to-cover, word for word for hours...under normal circumstances, magazine's a waste of money for me cuz I finish it in at most an hour...

I Really Enjoy......
1. California Bistro Cafe @ Esplanade --- meals (great spag.Lasagna Bolognaise.salads), drinks, reading
2. Lazing @ cafes/eateries --- coffee bean, starbucks, Jalan Kayu, Anywhere nice lah
3. Getting my hands onto some fabulous books & I can juz continue reading for the rest of the day without annoying anyone, I swear
4. Being asked, "Where did you go to get your nails done? They're pretty."
Ans...96% of the time I do my own nails, seriously...if not I'll go to the one @ Plaza Singapura Level 2 for Express session...I can really fall asleep if I get the classic 2 plus hrs session...
Why don't I work in the mani-pedi thingy?
Cuz i can't do others' nails...some ended ugly while others only ok standard & I wasn't biased or have anything against anyone.
5. Seeing something I like & juz get it...means I'm in luck...
6. Catching excellent movies...ok tt rating's rather subjective
7. Best shopping area --- CityLink, Marina Sq, Suntec, Raffles Place, Bugis Junction
8. Making birthday cards or juz some nonsense with whatever material I have, esp when I'm super bored
9. Being tanned but not really to the extent of burnt though I don't really mind
10. Making people around me happy...geez...so when I'm not in the right mood they'll cheer me too
11. Annoying the hell out of some of my friends, esp those who I don't get to see often (Everyone's working...earning some vocation cash)
12. Hogging onto the phone for hours & hours & hours & hours & hours...well, kinda depends whom I'm talking to too
13. Surprising my family & friends with gifts or juz something stupid that they caught me doing (that's my fault cuz they can juz laugh their heads off as if i'm not around)

COLLIN RAYE
LOVE, ME
I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat and he showed it once to me
He said "Boy, you might not understand but a long long time ago
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none but I loved your Grandma so
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter and this is what it said
Chorus:
"If you get there before I do don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darlin' wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of a church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I'd never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her his eyes filled up with tears
Chorus:
"If you get there before I do don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darlin' wait and see
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
And between now and then till I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
Though to many a birthday song is just the norm and common HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, but when I first heard this song I teared...It's a completely different type of brithday song that one will sing on her birthday...
I've heard many versions of birthday songs, from the traditional ones to the ones that Simpsons played, nothing touches me as much as this...One of the greatest thing that happened was that my great friend played that for me on my way to work, the morning of my birthday....
3 simple stanzas yet the blessings shone and memories surfaced...such blessings, such joys, such friendship...
Corrinne May
The Birthday Song
Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way to say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be
Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've helped to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Dont ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes
Happy Birthday, my friend
Here's to all the years we've share together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true

Waiting for the World to Fall
Written by Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Stephen Mason and Matt Odmark ©2005 Bridge Building
I'm afraid it's been too long to try to find the reasons why
I let my world close in around a smaller patch of fading sky
But now I've grown beyond the walls to where I've never been
And it's still winter in my wonderland
Chorus
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone
I close my eyes and try to see the world unbroken underneath
The farther off and already it just might make the life I lead
A little more than make-believe when all my skies are painted blue
And the clouds don't ever change the shape of who I am to You
Chorus
I'm waiting for the world to fall
I'm waiting for the scene to change
I'm waiting when the colors come
I'm waiting to let my world come undone
When I catch the light of falling stars my view is changing me
My view is changing me
I'm waiting
