I was studying in NUS today when I was feeling super bored with my ipod music. So I decided to listen to some albums which I had not yet listened to... Namely Josh Groban's "Awake". A song caught my attention immediately with it's musical-box-sounding beginning... And then he started singing those lyrics... I got goosebumps all over. I cannot remember the last time I've been so enraptured by a piece of music, a set of lyrics so... So beautiful... So appropriate. By the end of the song my eyes were wet.
A waltz when she walks in the room
She pulls back the hair from her face
She turns to the window
To sway in the moonlight
Even her shadow has grace
A waltz for the girl out of reach
She lifts her hands up to the sky
She moves with the music
The song is her lover
The melody's making her cry
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is from afar
Calling me silently
A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know how to start
She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is from afar
Calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever
I'd give up this view just to tell her
When I close my eyes I can see
The spotlights are bright on you and me
We've got the floor
And you're in my arms
How could I ask for more?
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is from afar
Calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever
And I'm giving up this view just to tell her
Sigh... =(
Makes me wonder... Sometimes I sound like I'm joking but actually most of it is the truth... Haha. The sad part is I don't dare to make it not sound like a joke. Cos if I do, I don't know what the repercussions will be.
Made a new friend today, Hao Tian (possibly one of the tallest guys in M1... can go compete with Zhou Hao liao)... The two of us plus Alvin, Celeste and Yu Kit went for lunch together in NUH Enclave after our (rather unproductive) mugging in the morning... Then after that we went to play pool in BTP.
I must say even though I haven't played in eons I think I started quite well, then later dunno why all my shots kept refusing to go in... Either the ball will totally go in the wrong direction or it will almost go in but bounce out at the last second. Lol. I wanna play more pool... Cannot be so cui.
Dug out some random shots from my handphone just now... Here's one I took after Saturday's football at RI:
Know what that is? That's a picture of a vending machine AFTER I bought the green tea. Notice the final position and what's wrong with it. The stupid mechanized lever came down to the level of the drink-drop, and just continued going down. Haha. The machine is REALLY earning money man. It freaking stole 90 cents from me!
This is a photo I took today after our pool game. We were just roaming around BTP, coming to Popular bookstore, where we saw this assessment book. Look at the second white box from the top. I tell you, if you can solve HE + HE + HE = AH, you really must be a math genius.
Oh well. So she dances...
