The simpler life...

A lot of things have happened. but kept holding off blogging so don't really feel like elaborating now.

wed: briefing for the temasek youth camp thing. almost all the student council presidents were there. add a few more councillors to that and you have a room where people start talking like they acually know each other for some time right off the bat. at least the pple there seem pretty nice. saw chai luang/sharon! at first i was looking out for the two people in tj. caught a glimpse of them walking in and thought, shucks, i don't know them. but just as she was gonna sit down it was "isn't that sharon? hmm, looks a li'l different, but it's her alrite." eye contact and it's her indeed hah. really nice catching up. hearing bout 01 post-kelvin and lymon. the random stuff, etc. great to have someone i know except see wai (and even then i don't know her after it was told that we were the two selected).

thus: i'm almost sure sth happened, but tt's what i get for not writing down whatever i wanna remember

fri: the magnets, an a capella group came to aj. real nice. especially andy, the beatboxer. he's probably the best in the world. except for the cymbal all the other sounds don't sound any different from the real thing. i esp like his snares and hi-hats... flawless and real cool. colin, the bass guy's really good and eloquent too.

sun: got the tickets for the magnets concert at victoria theatre. ^^. went with some classmates. some thought it wasn't that good cos the jokes from the aj performance were repeated. but i thoroughly enjoyed it. guess i don't mind things being the same every day. during many songs it seems like i'm always the last guy still clapping after the magnets initiated everyone to start clapping some time back. then trying to get hinho, etc to go along. and actually did the boogie thingy for the encore. didn't do it at aj, so thought, well, why not. i think i was the highest amongst the 9 of us who went then. kinda rare sight i guess haha. and bought their album after that lol. complete with all 6 signatures when they were coming down... lol, anna and evelyn were so disappointed that andy didn't look as good close-up. spoilt the image they had when looking from far, they say heh. but i thought they looked kinda suave.

hmm, i'm not taking the promos seriously enough. i will not be complacent... work, work, work...

You don't have to paint me a picture/Alan Jackson

The kiss was colder than I remember
When we first said hello
I guess the flame's now a little lower
I can feel you letting go
You know the pain drops a little darker
Then when you first put it on
I guess your love's like some old cheap and magic marker
Said forever nice go

But you don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say things at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall

When we first fell, we fell a long way
Summer nights and winter days
Mountain sunrise, ocean sunset
Hand in hand in the haze
Now it's cold heart summer evenings
And there's clouds on my sunrise
But you don't have to smile and say you're happy
I can see what's in your eyes

You don't have to paint me a picture
You don't have to say things at all
You don't have to paint me a picture
I can see in the writing on the wall

Loving this song. been stuck in my head for the past two weeks or so. so it's not the magnets heh. ugh, i'm too lazy to upload it for now. if i'm still loving i think i'd want to get this as background. or maybe i'd upload the magnets haha. (gosh, i'm so smitten over them like some fanboy)
when i first listened to it it sounded like some dreamy love song. maybe it's the influence from mltr's paint my love. or the way alan jackson and those country tunes sound so light-hearted. but upon more detailed hearing and looking up of the lyrics it now sounds so... deep and magical. truly, you don't have to paint me a picture.

this time i'd learn to be more stubborn. no more wishful thinking, always leaving the back door open to come back again. time to start living without fear of what others think.
and to 'you', thanks a whole lot for making me understand just what a fool i was
