我睁开眼睛却感觉不到天亮
东西吃一半莫名其妙哭一场
我忍住不想时间变得更漫长
也与你有关否则又开始胡思乱想
我日月无光忙得不知所以然
找朋友交谈其实全帮不上忙
以为会习惯有你在才是习惯
你曾住在我心上现在空了一个地方
原来爱情这么伤比想象中还难
泪水总是不听话幸福躲起来不声不响
太多道理太牵强道理全是一样
说的时候很简单爱上后却正巧打乱
只想变的坚强强到能够去忘
无所谓悲伤只要学会抵抗
原来爱情这么伤
原来爱情是这样这样峰回路转
泪水明明流不干瞎了眼还要再爱一趟
有一天终于打完思念的一场战
回过头再看一看
原来爱情那么伤
下次还会不会这样

4th & last stop...blood bank...quite a no. of courageous souls generously gave "the gift of life"...i was quite inspired myself...i think im actually gonna brave e needles (u gt pricked a few times, blood screening, local anaesthesia, & of coz e thick transfusion needle) once i get off my meds. each time, they'll take around 450ml (for those above 50kg, which obviously i AM) & every unit of blood can save up to 3 lives. singapore is one of e v few countries tt actually give anaesthesia to their doners (we're all damn hum chih, i add to tt statistic) & one of the 50 countries in the world tt practises 100% voluntary, non-remuneratory blood donation. i din mean to rem such random facts, i juz did. i excel in storing useless information akin to such. my pt is...GIVE BLOOD yeah?

2008-09-08T11:45:00.002+08:00

sat started out w buffet brunch @ marriot w dap & elise... notice e lack of food pics...we expected ALOT more from em really...but service wise...THUMBS UP. everyone was so cringe worthyly polite...every time i settled down at e table after my helpings, sumone wud go out of his way to rush over & pull e chair. it made me quite uncomfortable...i think tt was prolly part ONE of e many reasons y i din have THAT many helpings...

2008-08-07T01:56:00.002+08:00

first & foremost, for the...'IF i had my way' fones. PINK...is e new black, haven u heard. reality check. these fones are only available in the US territories and they operate on the CDMA network so its pointless even if i were to gt em online.

2008-08-07T01:53:00.002+08:00

2008-08-07T01:39:00.002+08:00

my ALL TIME FAVORITE phone, which i still have w me. this, is, THE phone. my heart totally broke when mua dropped it on e tar road & scratched it damn bad. rem getting tis tog w jr yan's 6288...it was a 'gift xchange' thing...juz a v unconvincing excuse to gt new fones for ourselves really...

2008-08-07T01:35:00.001+08:00
