dAkoNa-gOoD(I've got alot to learn)
Rain fallin in a paper cup
Got her head turned down and her collar pulled up
There's a sorrow in her eye and a sadness in her sigh
But she ain't gonna talk unless you come again, come again
Sitting on a curb in the afternoon
Watching colors dance round like her feet to a tune
You know she knows she knows she knows
There goes it goes it goes
You better come again
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn
So please won't you teach me
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
And everybody wants a shot at you darling
Oh she said
You can't help me if you've never been
Got my head filled up with the memories of everything
And I cant ever sleep 'cause the shuffle of the feet
Always pounding in my brain like a hurricane, hurricane
Still I can see your open hand
If you cant let me near, then I can't help you stand
I've got nothing to complain about
Nothing i can shout about
Maybe I could bust you out, you out, you out
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
So please won't you teach me
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
And everybody wants a shot at you darling
And you don't care about tomorrow
You don't care about today
You can't understand the sorrow i was feeling
You were gone away
Oh gone away, yea
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn
So please won't you teach me
I got a lot to learn baby...
I got a lot to learn baby...
And everybody wants a shot
C'mon!
Oh, you look so good
Oh no no no you look so good
Good
Good
You look so...
Good
ok let's see what is there to update? hmm.. biggest news of the week: DISHWALLA'S NEW ALBUM IS OUT AND IT'S DAMNNNN GOOD. haha the cover, again, leaves no room for disappointment... you can see it in my msn and my hp wallpaper... (yup it's no longer the indecipherable one... i keep having to tell people: it's two people kissing in the rain with half their bodies outta their cars! it's not ducks!) anyhows. the new album and the new theme of the website is quite r(a) looking but the lyrics and melodies are still just as wonderful. god i love them. and they're gonna play in texas soon. austin, to be exact. u know those pub cafes whatchamacallit that host bands... ARRRRRRRRRRR but actually i most prob wont get to go in even if i got into austin... age limit: 21. but i just wanna see them!!!!! argh. my death wish, yes? haha they're supposedly old school, but i'd think old school meaning like... the likes of tonic, paperboy, etc. just like there's old sch hiphop there's old sch alternarock? yes. haha. problem i'm facing here is that... SINGAPORE DOES NOT HAVE THEIR ALBUMS! im tempted to ask my bro to help me buy... but he's prob gonna make a big fuss abt why the hell am i OBSESSED with music. craziness.
but dad's said yes to helping me order the album online!!! wheee.... wish i could dld the songs thou but cant find it on limewire. after all the album came out only march 31st. yay i love jr richards! his voice gosh.. it's heavenly. hmm how long have i been a dishwalla fan.. hmmmmmmm 5/6 yrs!!! WHOA. that's longer than any fad i had. this is so not a fad. gosh this is getting to be a tribute to dishwalla. think it's a matter of time before they reach the airwaves here... this new album is better than all the rest.. of course no song is comparable to find your way back home and counting blue cars and candleburn. BUT. all the songs are good... listened to their new album on the virtual listening party.. problem is... that only allows me to listen to part of each song. it's like dangling a carrot in front of a rabbit( yes, a rabbit, not me... i hate carrots. taste like crayon) anyhows.. i love their new look just abt as much as i loved their opaline album's look. they change their website to sorta suit the theme of their new album cover. of course nothing beats the beauty of the angel on the previous album, but this new album is much.. richer, more lush, more lavish, more.. in your face. which is what i like about it.. dark and in your face. gosh i worship their talent.
anyhows.. off from the dishwalla topic, most people won't know who the hell im talking about, dammit. anyhows. this song above's by dakona, don't know much about them just know that i love this song... haha heard it over vic, this radio station in ithaca new york city! haha... over radiotower. gosh it's a really great station discovered a hell lot of nice songs... and there's still a handful of songs i cant find the title of cuz letssingit.com doesnt seem to have it when i do a lyric search. but this song is a very sunny song... with a catchy tune and great beat. i'm gonna try getting the other dakona songs. haha oh and happens stereophonics have this song called dakona. so amusing. what the hell does dakona mean!
ooo i've got a new fav brand... freshbox! think it's local.. but god the tees in there rock... i got this nice white one that has a green print of some girl and stuff... guess i cant really describe it.. but i love it. and it goes well with my white hoops! wheee... ok that was bimbo. now i shall frequent freshbox to discover more tees! whee. but i also like skinny tees like my zara one. hahaha... whee. im in a tee phase. went shopping with bell in bugis... and gosh i spent like crazy again. i got mascara! n a really good eyelash curler that actually works!! gonna try the eyeliner soon... my liquid one's drying out and it's really hard to apply anyhows. got a nice pair of black wrapard pants too... but still have yet to figure out how to wear it. it's like folding big origami. got a nice khaki skirt too! i was also tempted to get this black two piece top... u wear this tube inside and on the outside, this nice sleeveless thing where the neckline drops to below the bottom of the tube. really nice. but kinda ex. esp for that type of material. ooo got two earrings too! the sequin type with a bead... and this leather heart one. haha. still havent found my perfect jeans thou.. so sad abt that. tried on this pair of dorothy perkins one.. 39 bux only.. but felt like a whale in it lehs... hehe... oh well. hopefully the hk trip works out and can get whatever jeans i want! whee chiang's list looked so tempting. n hf has a friend's apartment in causeway bay we can rent... 30 bux a night only! good thing is there's a landlady ard so there's a local we can consult! on where to go etc. just hope the place isnt too shady n we can get transport from airport to wherever that place is... n jetstar or valuair isnt fully booked on vesak weekend. n clare can go. blehs. anyhows.. we bumped into huimei at bugis... haha i've never seen her in anything polka dot before. n she had a friend who was soooo cute! haha we bumped into them twice.. (SECOND TIME WAS NOT PLANNED BELL!!!!!!!!! U IDIOT...) then when bell went to try on pants i went to check out this photo studio's photography... and huimei popped up beside me again and asked me to go with them and i was like.. crazy hahaha tempting but crazy. then stupid bell came back out and i had to call her haha we lost each other... bleh lousy girl u i did not run off with them! i was at the photo studio! that's why i brought u to the photo studio later what n had all those fliers.
anyhow just got back from break at subway and this really cute guy walked past!!!!! haha... tralalala... hey it's appreciating's nature's beauty. like the hell guys dont look at cute girls. what's wrong. haha.
anyhows i think im caught in the middle of a divine intervention... preventing me from going overseas, making me stay stuck here to put up with my mom's whims. i suggested to my dad that for uni if i have to go to uni here.. i'll go rent an apartment elsewhere so i can simulate living on my own! haha... of course he said no. really wonder if going overseas is gonna be good for me. of course now the choice is ubc or smu. but cuz of this new bloody stupid system... called the campus wide login... i cant log in anymore!!!! it's really fate.. i have to submit my supplemental app soon. asked david abt canada... esp vancouver.. he says like 50 percent asians... gosh. wont that be another sg.. more or less. n there are parts of vancouver where u wont have to speak eng once in ur life... meaning u're surrounded by pple like u. what happened to an international town. but come to think of it... canada will be like an aussie without the problems of pr and increasing student visa cost. and im pretty certain i can stay to work a while there.. they have pretty good impressions of asians... but there's supposedly some white supremists there killing one asian/korean a day. scary shit. dont know if it's still going on. hmm but seriously, an experience overseas has gotta be priceless... let's see if i'm really fated to go overseas. hell texas hasnt replied to my appeal. wtf.
oh well good news! i got shortlisted for law interview, which i think im gonna bomb. haha no idea abt current affairs, all i can count on is bullshitting my way out of every situation. and... written test? what's that abt... TWO DAMN DAYS taken up. happy days. two damn days to get a rejection letter. denzyl told me sth really weird.. his friend... AAAB and a2 for english didnt get shortlisted for law interview... and i'm the AABC one... really odd. but i'm quite dead if they ask me why i want to do law or if law is my first choice. how am i supposed to answer that truthfully! oh wells... now i've got some lousy form to fill up with a brief account of myself and my reasons for wanting to read law at NUS. shit... someone tell me why?
anyhows. i'm getting sick of this damn 6 mth break... wayy too long.. sure i get to work and go out more... but everything's the same and im tired of looking for things to do... the easiest is just to rent dvds and watch them in the comfort of my cuddlepillow and a nice temperature(thank god for aircons). sure i've got stuff to do, people to go drinking with but i keep not wanting to go. whyyyyyyy. i should have been born a guy then i wudda felt more comfy going. or if i had this nice fixed grp of friends rather than friends all over the place. one here one there. not fun. and it's time i get to know more 20 yr olds... everyone's in army! grr. can't wait to get outta the dilemma of making so many grave decisions and get on with life... study! n adapt! haha still in doubt abt whether i'll really like it in smu. i mean after 18 yrs in a city i'm bound to get sick of it... maybe 4 yrs in a country would be great. or at least a place like ubc. problem: i don't have housing there. why? cuz i forgot to apply for housing. see... this is the result of complacency. and procrastination. STOP THE PROCRASTINATION! ok shall go do my bloody essays. law, toronto, and tonight shall call bc up and ask why the hell my login is screwed up.
goodbye!
