I think this song is ultra sad yet beautiful. Watch the video if you haven’t done so because I think it’s good. I would say I prefer this song to Ain’t No Other Man.
By the way, if you don’t know what’s on the telegram; it’s a message about her father’s death.
Hurt
Seems like it was yesterday
When I saw your face
You told me how proud you were,
But I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
Ooh, ooh
I would hold you in my arms
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all you’ve done
Forgive all your mistakes
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I wanna call you
But I know you won’t be there
Oh, I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself by hurting you
Some days I feel broke inside
But I won’t admit
Sometimes I just wanna hide
‘Cause it’s you I miss
And it’s so hard to say goodbye
When it comes to this, ooh
Would you tell me I was wrong?
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
To have just one more chance
To look into your eyes
And see you looking back
Oh, I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself, oh
If I had just one more day
I would tell you how much that I’ve missed you
Since you’ve been away
Ooh, it’s dangerous
It’s so out of line
To try and turn back time
I’m sorry for blaming you
For everything I just couldn’t do
And I’ve hurt myself..
By hurting you
“It will give us precious extra resources to implement social programmes like Workfare later on. Our aim is to help the lower income groups and the elderly, not to increase their burdens. When we implement the GST increase, it’s not just the GST increase, it’s the package which will fully offset the impact of the GST increase and begin to strengthen the social safety nets and tilt the balance in favour of the low income groups - we will not just raise the GST but we will have a comprehensive offset package,” said Mr Lee.
I think many of you have heard about the 2% increase in GST during the Monday’s Parliament speech or at least have heard it from your folks. Bloody hell man.
But as you know, Singaporeans love to bargin. They are bound to bargin for 1% increase instead of 2% increase. And of course the government would probably say, “Okay, fine. The GST will increase by 1% instead of 2%.” And Singaporeans will go, “Wahhhh, Singapore government so good ah.”
Bleh. I think the government initially just wants to increase by 1% but they know Singaporeans just love to bargin so they say 2%. So when we bargin, they decrease the increase by 1% and make them seems like they’re NICE PEOPLE.

Anyway, Wednesday had dinner at Clementi’s Botak Jones with zhen ‘ai, sharina and eunice. Really nice american food at a reasonable price. And we had a great laugh, especially at eunice’s idea of repelling. HAHA. Laughed till my stomach hurted and cramped. It’s been a while I would say. Eunice is always filled with wacky and weird and laugh-out-loud ideas and hmmm action. HAHA. I remember one particular PE back in sec sch when we were playing either captain’s ball or netball with the boys. And she, being her very enthu-self ran ahead first and kian wee did a backward throw and the ball hit her head. And you can see her head jerk. Lol. The whole class was laughing like mad, with some on the floor, literally and me trying hard to control my pee while laughing my lungs out. A very funny scene if you imagine.

Had touch rugby training yesterday and many many weird things happened. I think it was the jersey! We received our team jersey yesterday. It’s just weird! Oh and I saw Huiling falling on her butt and bouncing off it. lol. Shit man, that must have hurted (I am trying not to laugh right now, but it is quite funny thinking back). And the worst of all was Evangeline who lost $50. Dang.
And shit, the jersey is very fitting, in another word, it’s tight! My TUMMY. OMGGGGGGGGGG. *DIES* It’s sleeveless, and my fair BIG arms. AHHHHHHHH. TIAN AH. Seriously, when was the last time I wore sleeveless clothes? Like in primary sch. OMG. And it was jersey too, basketball jersey. BLEHHHH. I am so dead on 25th when I have to wear it for Oasis Touch. Shiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttt. *Books for a plastic surgeon for a lipo.*
I think E Learning week is the shittest thing ever. So many things to be done and so little time. And moreover next week is our mid semester test and we have to do those crap.
Yesterday, I did the homework we are suppose to do for Critical Reasoning Skills which is posting 5 comments on the topics that our class has chosen in a blog. And man, I posted more than 5 comments. Spent the entire afternoon and night just thinking of arguments and posting them. Kinda addictive I’d say but very time consuming. So in the end, I ended up not studying at all. Shit. My group’s topic discussion is kinda heated up. Simply because, it is a gender based issue- Should Male Take the Larger Proportion of Blame in Teen Pregnancies. My group’s stand was disagreeing with the statement. And there was this person, Momokai, who kept on insisting that male should shoulder more blame. She kept saying that male should be taking the larger proportion of the blame. Wanting and Momokai kept rebutting each other that we thought it was quite heated up but quite amusing. HAHA. So I talked to Shikin over it about that girl’s stand. We thought that the reason behind her stand was because she is thinking that females are the weak beings therefore male should be taking the larger blame. Wah, not an ounce of feminism in her, we thought. So after giving my last 2 cents worth of thoughts at about 11.30, I stopped.
Today checked back the comment box and guess what?
Momokai
is
a
boy.
Momokai: P.S momokai is never a girl. =.=
Lol! Right right. So I commented back saying : Lol… Oops… I thought Momokai is a girl. Ah. Okay, paiseh. Anyway, cheers to you! One of the few good men around. HA
All along our group has thought that Momokai were a girl.
So anyway, I am not going to post any comments anymore. Said my piece in my group’s topic and another topic which interest me more which is Should Homosexuals be Allowed to Adopt? Other topics I merely just gave one comment.
Omg Zhen ‘Ai, where can you find such good friend hur? (I’ve repeated this for god knows how many times.)
This girl smsed me at 10.12PM wanting to meet me at Tiong.
Zhen ‘ai @ 10.12PM: Eh free to meet at tiong?
Me: Now?
Zhen ‘ai @ 10.14PM: Eh… Later? Haha. I now at tampiness.
Me: At macs? Call me when you reached bugis.
Zhen ‘ai @ 10.16PM: Yeah… K.. See ya…
*after some time*
Zhen ‘ai @ 11.03PM: Im at lavender liao… U can start leaving your place.
Zomg pls. I reached Tiong at 11.30PM. And I checked the timing for the last train and it was at 12AM. So pathetic please. What can we do for 30 mins? So I decided to stay beyond 12AM believing that there will still be bus as it normally operates until quite late like about 12 plus. So we left Macs at 12.20AM and I walked towards the bus stop and quickly headed for the bus directory and bloody hell. I can’t bleeding Adam and Eve that I missed the last bus! AHHHH… Because the last bus was at 11.53PM! : ( So terrible.
I was left with no choice but to take a cab back home because I didn’t want to call my father to fetch. Before I went out, he already gave me a lecture on how late it was and I shouldn’t go out. And so he would definitely say, “See I told you. You must manage your own time well. Blah blah blah”, if I had called him. Save my ears from the music and save my own pride, I’d rather take a cab.
I tell you, my blood vessels could have burst just looking at the meter. And goodness, the red lights just kept coming on at every 100m (sarcasm, get it?). So I guess the uncle must have been very happy. Naaaabei… The taxi fare came up to $6.60 which could have been $0.68 if I had left Tiong 20 mins earlier. 10 times more! Wtf… So I kept telling myself, that’s the price of a fast food meal. If I could just stop eating out for even just 1 meal, that would make up for it. What to do huh, what. to . do? What a great friend you have here Zhen ‘ai (how many times already?), must remember me for the rest of your life hor.

Oh yea. I haven’t mentioned anything about my GEMs, have I? Just FYI, I am taking this GEMs called Accent and Slang. It teaches us about the different kinds of accent and slang in the world. And until now, we have learnt about Singlish and British’s Receive Pronunciation, Estuary English and this week’s lesson- Cockney accent and slang.
In my opinion, Cockney english is just like Singlish or even worse. The slangs used in their english is terrible because it makes no sense at all (except some of the english words rhyme with the slang). But that’s what makes it quite hilarious… and dumb.
I’ll quote you some examples that I’ve copied down from the website the teacher gave us.
English- Slang
Menstrual Cycle- George Michael
Fuck off- Vincent Van Gogh
Wanker- Oil Tanker Gym- Fat Boy Slim
Prostitue- Brass Flute
Bitches- Ronald Riches
So while browsing through the slangs in the website, he told us to form an offensive sentence with the slangs and a greeting sentence. So as you know, I am quite vulgar, hahaha, and therefore my sentence was: Your Lolly Lick is so small that you use a macaroni for an Ann Frank.
Basically, Lolly Lick stands for Dick and Ann Frank stands for Wank. Get it now? Hahahaha. And refering back to the bleeding Adam and Eve, it stands for believe. I.e. Bleeding and Eve if you add them together is sounds a bit like believe hence, the word!
That’s it. For your entertainment purposes. The website forCockney Slang.
