Half Past

it was really quite a surreal feeling. there i was, in SM2B starting to write my supposedly erudite opinions on scaling and root planing, when a song rose unbidden into my head and stayed there, rocking away through pretty much the whole paper. a rousing work of rock, possessing a tune full of hope and some truly righteous axe work, that kept my pen driving across the paper for the whole 3 hours.

i present:

Hoshizora miage Watashi dake no hikari oshiete
Anata wa ima doko de Dare to iru no deshou?
.
Tanoshikushiteru koto omou to Samishiku natte
Issho ni mita shinema hitorikiri de nagasu
.
Daisuki na hito ga tooi
Toosugite nakitaku naru no
Ashita me ga sametara
Hora kibou ga umareru kamo Good night!
.
I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
Tomaranai no yo Hi!!
.
Nemuri no fuchi de Yume ga kureru omoide no One day
Anata no kotoba ni wa Sukoshi uso ga atta
.
Hanasanai yo to kimi dake da to
Dakishimeta no ni
Yakusoku ga fuwari to kurai yoru ni kieta
.
Daisuki na hito yo itsumo
Itsu made mo sagashite shimau
Kitto me ga samete mo
Mada maboroshi o kanjitai Morning
.
I lost I lost I lost you!
You’re making making my music!
I lost I lost I lost you!
Mou aenai no? No!
.
Daisuki na hito ga tooi
Toosugite nakitaku naru no
Ashita me ga sametara
Hora kibou ga umareru kamo Good night!
.
Daisuki na hito ga tooi
Toosugite nakitaku naru no
Kitto me ga samete mo
Mada maboroshi o kanjitai Morning

I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
Tomaranai no yo
I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
Mou aeru yo ne? Ne!!

and for the jap-impaired people:

Look up at the starry sky and tell me about my own light
Where are you now? And who are you with?

If I think about enjoying things, I feel sad
I weep all by myself at the movie that we saw together

The person who I love is faraway
Too faraway and I feel like crying
When I wake up tomorrow
Look, hope just might be born, Good night!

I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
I won’t stop, Hi!!

In the depths of my slumber, my dream gives my memories a ‘One day’
And there were some lies in your words

Even though you embraced me
Saying, “I won’t let go” and “I’m only yours”
The promise softly disappeared in the dark night

I’m forever searching for
The person who I love
I’m sure that even when I wake up
I’ll still want to feel the illusion, Morning!

I lost I lost I lost you!
You’re making making my music
I lost I lost I lost you!
Can’t we meet anymore? No!

The person who I love is faraway
Too faraway and I feel like crying
When I wake up tomorrow
Look, hope just might be born, Good night!

I’m forever searching for
The person who I love
I’m sure that even when I wake up
I’ll still want to feel the illusion, Morning

I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
I won’t stop
I still I still I love you!
I’m waiting waiting forever
I still I still I love you!
We can meet again, right? Right!!

Suspense

here i am, still hanging in limbo. while technically i should be free and on the way to my exams, the truth is that unless i see my name on the board saying im eligible, i wont have any peace of mind. and at the same time im too inert to haul my ass out of the house and go to school. this studying sucks. dont know why but its even more shitty than all the other years where ive had to study for finals. i feel drained, immobile, in need of instant noodles, irrationally tired, and very bored.

i want this over with quick!

To Be With You

this was a song i came across only during army time, due to intense sua koo-ness. Mr Big was a band that combined radio-friendly choruses and excellent guitar work. this song stuck in my head because it simply sounded real good! at this time, i wanted to dig the lyrics out and just refresh everyone's memory.

Peijun, the first 4 lines of the 2nd stanza might reflect a bit of your current situation...

To Be With You
*
Hold on little girl
Show me what he's done to you
Stand up little girl
A broken heart can't be that bad
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
*
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
*
Build up your confidence
So you can be on top for once
Wake up who cares about
Little boys that talk too much
I seen it all go down
Your game of love was all rained out
So come on baby, come on over
Let me be the one to hold you
*
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
*
Why be alone when we can be together baby
You can make my life worthwhile
And I can make you start to smile
*
When it's through, it's through
Fate will twist the both of you
So come on baby come on over
Let me be the one to show you
*
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
*
I'm the one who wants to be with you
Deep inside I hope you feel it too
Waited on a line of greens and blues
Just to be the next to be with you
*
Just to be the next to be with you

To Be With You - Mr. Big

Chicken Wings

i could do with chicken wings now. chicken wings have played a pretty major role in my dental life as convenient comfort food. the quality of the wings varied from day to day but they were generally both decently edible and fairly cheap. then, a price hike kicked in, and my card got spoilt. chicken wings have not featured in my school life for the past 2 terms or so. its been kind of weird without them. hope there are good chicken wings somewhere near NDC.

on an un-related note about deep fried food, i was wondering if it would be possible to make intrinsically spicy french fries and wedges. kind of like rolling the suckers in tabasco and pepper before throwing them into the fryer. it would make a nice change from the standard issue french fry, and the spices would play off the plain-ness of the potato well, especially if the usual un-thinking Singapore staple of chilli sauce was swapped out for japanese mayonnaise.

Geng Feng? return the deep fryer!
