Kesepian by Dygta
Been listening to this in my car, and this about sums up a significant chunk of my life.

Lucky
Lucky by Jason Mraz featuring Colbie Caillat.
A friend of mine told me about this collaboration. I think I’m in love with it.
Unnecessarily reminiscing
These two songs actually remind me of Mumtaz and Hermi during days when we were in the server room. LOL.Those Days by Shaggy and Nasha,
.. and Edwin McCain’s I’ll Be.
Those were the days my friend
We thought they’d never end
Thought we would last forever and a day
When there is no Internet, there’s always the telly to fall back on
Internet-less for the past 24 hours. I couldn’t check my e-mail, couldn’t blog hop, and I was agitated. Like her, I had withdrawal symptoms. I had restarted my modem and my router countless times, thinking that it was just my connection. Until her message arrived, then I knew it wasn’t just me.
However, thank goodness for TV. I spent a good 2 hours and a half watching Idol Gives Back, and spending half of it crying my eyes off, a quarter of it laughing, and the rest just enjoying the performances. I quite loved the opening performance by the contestants with their rendition of Rihanna’s Don’t Stop The Music. I also loved their performance on “Season of Love”.
I want to download the performances on iTunes, but there are some pages (including Blogspot blogs) that are inaccessible at the moment. (Internet still recovering in this part of the world, I guess.)
But tonight’s episode caused an upset in this household. One of my favourites had the least number of votes, and that sucks. I hate seeing my favourite go while some other not-so-good performers *coughKristyLeeCookcough* are still in the running.
I am glad, however, that Jason Castro did a brilliant cover of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow”. I’ve never really thought he had beaten his Daydream performance during top 24, until now. BRILLIANT! Love, love, looooove Jason Castro and his $600 ukulele.
Back to last night, after Idol Gives Back closed, I spent some time trying to connect to the Internet as if my life depended on it. LOL. In retrospect, it was quite all right. Because I ended up reading up on a few books. I finished just one, titled Hex And The Single Girl by Valerie Frankel. Loved it, light, and funny. Just the right ingredients for a good book, in my opinion.
Going to have an early night tonight, so I better start right on it.
I will grow through this pain
Have you ever felt that a song was made for you? I was just going through the CDs I had in Putih — that’s my car’s name — and I stumbled across a Robbie Williams track, one of my favourites, it’s called Better Man. I’ve always liked the song, but I never really had the chance to listen to the lyrics. (I’m a lyrics person.)
Then when I did, I thought, wow. I think this song was made for me. Pushing aside, of course the fact that it’s called Better Man. But nonetheless. The words sort of fit me. It’s like a song I want to sing to the rest of the world without, well, singing. Hahaha.
Here, let me just share the song lyrics.
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I’m getting old
Before my time
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing all I can
To be a better (wo)man
Go easy on my conscience
‘Cause it’s not my fault
I know I’ve been taught
To take the blame
Rest assured my angels
Will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I’m in pain
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing all I can
To be a better (wo)man
Once you’ve found that lover
You’re homeward bound
Love is all around
Love is all around
I know some have fallen
On stony ground
But love is all around
Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
In pouring rain
Give me endless summer
Lord I fear the cold
Feel I’m getting old
Before my time
As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing all I can
To be a better (wo)man
Never seems enough
My left eye is bloodshot. It started last night, and I thought it might have just been my contact lens, so I threw it out. But it is still watering and looks worse than last night. I am worried.
Someone I bumped into at a sushi restaurant yesterday said that I might have contracted conjunctivitis. I am still hoping that I haven’t.
I watched National Treasure: Book of Secrets yesterday afternoon. It was completely packed. Even when I booked tickets before midday, the 3 o’clock show was full, only the 5.15PM show was available. And by 4PM, no more seats were available to be booked, save for the single seats in odd places. I know because I tried reserving for two more seats, only ending up with one because the other didn’t want to sit alone.
How was the movie? Great, I loved it. Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. Way better than AVP — Requiem. I told my boyfriend that AVP — Requiem might have fitted in in the 80’s or 90’s, along with the Chuck Norris films. Haha. He thought I was being funny, but he didn’t appreciate the joke much. LOL.
On an unrelated note. Has anyone had a listen to Jordin Sparks’ No Air with Chris Brown? It’s good.
I’m off. Work is in a few hours. Toodles.
Lesson Learned
Love this song. From her new album, this one’s Alicia Keys’ collaboration with John Mayer, called Lesson Learned.
He broke my heart and now it’s raining
Just don’t rub it in
I’m at your door
I feel so crazy ’bout it
You say I told you so
You saw it long ago
You knew he had to go
I finally came around
I’m back on solid ground
Can’t let it get me down
It’s alright
Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned so I called it a lesson learned
My soul has returned so I called it a lesson learned.
Another lesson learned
Sometimes some lies can take a minute to fully realize
His tears, your eyes
Thirty seconds to apologize
You give him one more chance
Just like the time before
But he already knows you’d give a hundred more
Until that night in bed, you wake up in a sweat
You’re racing to the door
Can’t take it anymore
I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned so i called it lesson learned.
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned.
Another lesson learned..
Life perfect ain’t perfect if you don’t know what the struggle’s for
Falling down ain’t falling down if you don’t cry when you hit the floor
It’s called the past ’cause I’m getting past
And I ain’t nothing like I was before.
You ought to see me now.
Yes I was burned but I called it a lesson learned
Mistake overturned but I called it lesson learned
My soul has returned so I call it a lesson learned.
Another lesson learned..

Problems with Bubbly
Two posts in a day! Haven’t had that a lot, have we?
Anyway.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I am so bitter when Colbie Caillat plays on the radio. It used to be just Aaron and I playing it on our show, Technologic. (Okay, fine, it’s no longer our show. It’s his show now.) Now that Colbie’s in the Billboard charts, she’s everywhere. Thanks to Roxie, I played it on radio more than 13 weeks ago. Now, I can’t even play it because I’m stuck with shows that can’t play recent songs or current hits.
I’ve never been so bitter about a music artist since before I grew up.
I just don’t know what’s wrong with me now. I think I’m turning into a bore.
I’m never speaking up again, it only hurts me.
Still feeling a little beaten up. Have yet to find a comfortable spot. But I think having a cousin who works there makes it a little okay. Not every face I see is a stranger’s. I have a few friends there too. And I’m hitting it off with my teammates great.
I’m still mentally tired, though. I can’t wait to settle in, get used to everything, and enjoy myself. There are 2-3 more days to Hari Raya, and.. I’m not really looking forward to the first day. I don’t know how hard it is going to get, but hopefully I don’t have to cry until my chest hurt. Or cry at all.
What I’m looking forward later today is that I’ll be going out with my family and Liz’s family after work. Last-minute Raya shopping. I’m hoping that people this year don’t do any more last-minute shopping so that it won’t be as crowded. Haha. Wishful thinking on my part.
You know.. I was doing a bit of thinking, in the midst of trying to get the hang of working life.. I thought to myself, “I have a big, stupid mouth.”
Just like John Mayer’s song,
My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again..
Oh, it’s another social casualty
Score one more for me
How could I forget?
Mama said think before speaking
No filter in my head..
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it’s all because of this desire
I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
Lyrics are incomplete I just put up the ones that are related to this context. Hehe. It’s another one of those brilliant songs from John Mayer, so have a listen:
Personal note to Faz: enjoy this one, sweety.
