Songs and Shopping.

I have the best day with my da jie Aiwei! Finally back to Singapore again. Was supposed to be my belated birthday celebration but come to think of it, it doesn't feel like it leh. Right da jie?? We had lunch, then went crazy shopping to look for her Baileys... She siao over that alcohol le lah! Went into yoshinoya to drink it cause she wanted me to taste it... Haha. It's okay, not bad, tasted like chocolate milk but she is like really loving it lah... Haha. She drank so much that I was worried that she's going to get drunk, but no she's actually quite good! Haha! I 小看 my da jie le.

Then I bought her to Clarins and she ended up buying a lot of their stuff!! Haha! I think I am turning into a Clarins spokesperson already. Haha! And I am seriously considering their pure melting gel cause it's so cool to see it turned from gel to oil to milk! Haha! And I am still considering their night cream cause it's not cheap ($107!!!!)

And da jie told me that she thinks Clarins stuff is good too... haha!

Anyway, I think my previous post did freak a couple of people out. I think if I have been meeting up with more people, there will be surely more people asking me about that post. Just to clarify, I am fine. I have always been fine. It's just that I have been doing more thinking lately which led to that. And as I said, Goo's songs made me think a lot. And makes me feel more emo. Haha. But I think it's a good thing. We should at least think about our lives once a while so as not to live through it blindly. And I am glad for the support that I have gotten.

Anyway, I know people don't understand why I like Iris so much. Well, here's the lyrics.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you're alive

Ok, u guys have to know the story of the song in order to understand the song fully. It's part of the soundtrack of City of Angels, so the song is related to it. **Spoilers of City of Angels ahead**

Ok, the story of the movie is quite long, but in short it's about a guy who is an angel who fell in love with a human female doctor. They met each other, they talked, and the guy fell in love. The girl was slightly afraid (? I think the feeling is afraid, I can't tell) of the guy because she suspected that he wasn't "normal", because he seems distant to her. And when she found out that he wasn't human, she asked him not to see her again.

The guy was damn upset. He knows from a fellow ex-angel that to become human, one has to fall from a high ground, or taking the fall from grace. And so the guy did and ended up with cuts and bruises all over him.

**Spoilers end** I am not going to continue with the story to the end, because that's all you need. Anyway, when the first verse of the lyrics is literally saying that how the guy gave up his immortality for the girl because he doesn't need to be an angel to be "close to heaven". And when the lyrics said "and you bleed just to know you're alive" it's really talking about the guy falling and becoming bruised in order to be alive as a human.... This story should shed more light to the lyrics...

So damn sweet lah the song... this is going to be played in my wedding no matter what. And I have never heard of anyone saying this songs sucks. So yeah, this song is a great song!

Anyway, the other time I mentioned that Backstreet Boys - All I have to Give is also one of my favourities. I know, a boyband song I can also like so much. But the lyrics is seriously damn sweet lah!

I don't know what he does to make you cry
But I'll be there to make you smile
I don't have a fancy car
To get to you I'd walk a thousand miles

I don't care if he buys you nice things
Does his gifts come from the heart-I don't know...
But if you were my girl...
I'd make it so we'd never be apart

Chorus
But my love is all I have to give
Without you I don't think I can live
I wish I could give the world to you...but
Love is all I have to give

When you talk-does it seem like he's not
Even listening to a word you say?
That's okay baby, just tell me your problems
I'll try my best to kiss them all away...

Does he leave (does he leave) when you need him most?
Does his friends get all your time?
Baby please...I'm on my knees
Praying for the day you'll be mine

Chorus

To you...hey Girl, I don't want you to cry no more- inside
All the money in the world could never add up to all the love
I have inside...I love you

Bass break
And I will give it to you
All I can give, all I can give
Everything I have is for you
But love is all I have to give

Drum break & chorus (x3) and out

Chorus

I know jul like this song too.. I don't know which girl will not be touched by such a lyrics lah. In my opinion, this is one of the best songs they have released. Da jie asked me whenever she heard this kind of song, she either wish she has a bf or wants to break up with her bf. But I am more like wanting to be with the guy who is singing the song... Haha. Especially when I hear this song, I feel like I want to be with BSB.

And now I heard this Missy Higgins song called Where I stood and I love it a lot! I know Adeline likes Missy Higgins too =)

I don't know what I've done
Or if I like what I've begun
But something told me to run
And honey you know me it's all or none

There were sounds in my head
LIttle voices whispering
That I should go and this should end
Oh and I found myself listening

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

See I thought love was black and white
That it was wrong or it was right
But you ain't leaving without a fight
And I think I am just as torn inside

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood

And I won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
You meant more to me than anyone I ever loved at all
But you taught me how to trust myself and so I say to you
This is what I have to do

'Cos I dont know who I am, who I am without you
All I know is that I should
And I don't know if I could stand another hand upon you
All I know is that I should
'Cos she will love you more than I could
She who dares to stand where I stood
Oh, she who dares to stand where I stood




Oh man... why am I liking emo and lovey songs these days?? What's wrong with me???

Cheerios.
