SAD BUT TRUE

1. A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want.

2. A man will scrimp and save to buy the football shoes he really love. A woman will use her husband's credit card to get the shoes she love, to add to her extensive collection.

3. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

4. To be happy with a man you must understand him a lot & love him a little. To be happy with a woman you must love her a lot & not try to understand her at all.

5. Married men live longer than single men - but married men are a lot more willing to die.

6. Any married man should forget his mistakes - there's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

7. Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

8. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change & she does.

9. A woman has the last word in any argument. Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument o.O!!!

10. For a man, it is " the more the merrier. ". For a woman, it's " bigger is better. ".

You know how they always say there are seven deadly vices in this world.. Well, they just added the eighth one...
It's called cabbing... and man is it ADDICTIVE!!!

Today was Airshow day.. and as always, I had problems waking up in the morning... the meet-up was supposed to be 11 am Expo Station... I rolled out of bed at 10:45 am
o.O

So.. the aerial display was at 1215 am... and if i were to miss the aerial display, i might as well not go.. right... RIGHT???
Therefore.. it made PERFECT sense to cab there...
^.^

Cost me 31 bucks!!!
!#$%^&*#$%!^&

It would have been $2 cheaper if they hadnt chose the exact moment I was reaching the venue, to tow the stupid A380 Airbus across the road to the runway on the other side of the road... Traffic was stopped totally.. So 'rather-late-and-therefore-pissed-off' me had to watch in frustration as the meter ticked for near 10 minutes... before traffic resumed after that -.-"




Dumbass plane...
I'll bet that's what the other customers on the hundreds of other cabs in the queue were thinking too...

But even though it was freaking hot and we all got sunburnt.. and even though we had to queue more than 30 minutes just to register and enter.. and even though it costs freakin 8 dollars just for a plate of chicken rice and 3 dollars for a bottle of lime juice... and $10 just to take the shuttle bus to and fro from that place... it was a really enjoyable day.. really fun, really happening, and REEEEAAALLY tiring...

Enough of talking.. tired..
It's easier to just look at the pics...

YUI - It's Happy Line

誰の為に生きているの?
さえない日々を過ごして

弱さも痛みも
どのくらい感じてるの?

足りない昨日におぼれ
夢に書いた今日
そろわなくても　yeah yeah

夜明け前の瞬く星は
消えて行ったの?　
明日へ行ったの?

Tomorrow never knows
It’s happy line

何を信じていけばいい?
見えない日々を過ごして

どんな夜を見てもも
う暗い顔しないで

誰もが幸せを呼ぶ笑顔
見えているの?
笑えなくても　yeah yeah

明日への想いを胸に
赤い目を見て
笑ってみたの

Tomorrow never knows
It’s happy line

足りない昨日におぼれ
夢に書いた今日
そろわなくても　yeah yeah

夜明け前の瞬く星は
消えて行ったの?
明日へ行ったの?

Tomorrow never knows
It’s happy line

Was watching Taiyo no Uta all over again just now...
That show always manages to touch me no matter how many times i watch it...
Maybe it's the soundtrack.. maybe it's the ending..
Or maybe it's just because it brings back too many memories...

This song kinda brought back everything...
A whole chuck of memories...
Happy yet heart-wrenching...
Cherished yet unwelcomed...
That few months was really really unforgettable...

The translation for the song here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Who am I living for?
The cloudy days pass me by.

This weakness, this pain:
Do I feel all of it, or just a little?

I drowned myself in memories, but it didn't help.
So I'll start living for today.
But even if I'm a bit lost, yeah, yeah
Before dawn, the twinkling stars vanished.
I wonder: are they really gone?
Or will they be back tomorrow?
Tomorrow never knows
It's Happy Line.

What should I believe in?
My life flies past me and I don't even know it.

No matter what the night brings,
Please, don't frown.

Everyone has happy faces and voices,
I wonder if I can see them.
But even if I can't laugh, yeah, yeah.
I've found my courage at last.
I saw your red eyes and I tried to laugh.
Tomorrow never knows
It's Happy Line.

I drowned myself in memories, but it didn't help.
So I'll start living for today.
But even if I'm a bit lost, yeah, yeah
Before dawn, the twinkling stars vanished.
I wonder: are they really gone?
Or will they be back tomorrow?
Tomorrow never knows
It's Happy Line.

Jumper was brilliant... though the fight scenes were a little confusing and messy at times...

Lost all 3 drafts today... Bahh!!!.. Lousy night for dota..

Work's been REALLY hectic these two days.. especially with the Air Show coming up next week... stuff has to be rushed out on the spot, I don't even have time to go for the daily pantry breaks already...
So the past few days I would be looking at the other IA mates having fun in the pantry, while I slog my ASS OFF at my seat.. oh wait, I dont even have time to sit..
What really irritated me was when they only decided to call in the pilot to take a look at the stuff on Satuerday.. like 2 days before all the equipment has to be dismantled and shfited to changi..

And when the pilot requests near EVERYTHING to be changed... what happens??? Me.. ME.. having to OT for two days consecutive that's what happens!!! wthsss... and there I was planning to not go for work yesterday (tues) .. ended up with so much stuff to finish that I HAD to go back.. or they will DIE!!! coz I'm like the only person there who knows how to use photoshop -.-"
And after they flop and embarrass themselves at the air show.. they will come back.. and KILL me!!!

So now I'm officially the first IA student there to take an MC.. and also the first IA student there to work overtime -.-"

Well, at least they were feeling a little guilty last evening, and by 7 plus, they where trying to chase me home...
Hopefully I wont have to go down to changi next week.. bahh!!

Some of the SIMPLER if not SIMPLEST stuff I have to do there....

Changing dials.. from this...

Midnight Hour - Running Away

Don't lie and say that it's OK.
It's alright if, there's nothing more to say.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

Don't tell me, I'm the one to blame.
It's too late for you to make me stay.
No, I won't stay.
So I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

And faster than you can follow me from this lonely place.
And farther than you can find me, I'm leaving
Yeah I'm leaving today.
And I, I'll never let you find me.
I'm leaving you behind with the past
No, I won't look back.
And I don't want to hear your reasons.
Don't want to hear you tell me why I should stay.

And try, and try to understand me
And try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay
I, I'm moving on from this place
I'm leaving and I won't wait
I'm running away.

I'm running away.
I'm leaving this place.
Yeah, I'm running away.
I'm running away.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Wanted to blog.. but the words just wouldnt flow..
Wanted to sing.. but the lyrics just couldnt come..
Wanted to sleep.. but still the dreams remain hidden..

I just want to run away...
I'll never let you find me...
I'm leaving you behind with the past...
No, I wont look back...
And try, and try to understand me
And try to understand what I say when I say I can't stay
I'm moving on from this place
I'm leaving and I won't wait
I'm running away.

Sometimes I chose to run away..
Because I know if I were to stay on..
I might cause more pain in the future instead..
Call me hard-hearted.. call me cold...
but i'm just doing what would be the best for both..
try.. try to understand me..
try to understand what I say, when I say I can't stay...
but I WILL be back..
when i think the time is right..
and until then.. I can safely say..
that things will always end up in a certain way...
that hurts and aches.. and stings like hell...
until you lose even your strength to yell...
and procrastinate about your ill-begotten fate..
that the only thing you can do is wait...

So do not think that I do not cherish you..
but instead it's because i cherish you so much..
that i rather lose you for the moment..
and suffer the judgement that awaits me..
than to carry on without a care..
and then lose you forever...

For i'm not even sure I am ready..
For i'm not even sure I am right..
Therefore do not expect much form me..
because I had lost the strength that I once had..
that fervor that vigor.. that motivation to move towards instead of away...
