Heyho! I am super high now, although I have piles of homework I'll never be able to finish by Monday seeing as I have choir tomorrow.
Today was LSS touring. I was paired up with Junming and it was rather boring at first. Eventually though, we got to know each other.
Had Haagen Daz during our free time at Esplanade. At Marina Barrage, we (Junming, Pohhui, Gleen) camwhored like mad hahaha. Headed to Suntec for dinner after that. Ate with Junming, Pohhui, Yanling, Guoyang, Zhengjie at fish&co. Split up with the rest because they were taking too long to decide on a place. We managed to eat super slowly and spend like an hour talking there.
Took a lift from Junming home along with Guoyang and Zhengjie. I am so lucky to have met him k. He stays so freaking nearby.
And I reached home at 10. Wooh.
Photos soon. Because good times need to remembered. :)
On a random note, 5.4 has a facebook group. Yay everyone should have facebook. 5.4ever, loves.
This may not last but this is now,
February 27, 2009 / 9:43 PM
Heyhoheyho, I reached home at like 8ish.
I dread lessons, homework and tests but don't worry, I do see some joy in going to school nowadays.
Love 5.4, love choir girls, love you awesome people. ♥
P.S. I lost my chinese textbook. Should have been taken by someone by accident. Chinese text, please come back to me on Monday, thanks.
I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore,
February 26, 2009 / 8:32 PM
Short post because I just reached home from choir and I need to bathe.
I failed my first ever IB assigment. English literature, btw. I am fully booked for the next few weeks. I can neither meet the rest of the 409 people on Saturday nor meet 209 girls on Friday. Sigh. Imy, vm.
Next week also happens to be test week?? Not to mention, lots of stuff are due then. Like. Another. Poem. Commentary. Chinese. And. Other. Random. Shit.
Screw. Now would you believe me when I say I'm not doing well at school at all?
Bring it all to me cause I love,
February 25, 2009 / 1:59 PM
Heyyyy, cross country @ WCP today. Didn't really get to talk much but okay, whatever.
Had nothing to do after it ended so walked around for a bit with Kevin, Dezhong and Christopher.
People like Raymond (Liew) are totally mad. Who the hell gets up at 6am for no reason?! Sigh, am so jealous of you people with no school.
Meh.
Won't you come over, love?
February 24, 2009 / 7:29 PM
Today, something made me happy.
But I'm scared, I really am.
If I was to tell you just how much I need you
Would you come tonight?
One thought of you is all it takes,
February 23, 2009 / 6:22 PM
Hello.
I hate running. I weigh like an elephant. I am still short as ever. I am aching everywhere. I am dead tired. I have much math to do. I need to finish reading Siddhartha.
Nooooo, everything in my life is screwing up including academics and CCAs. I have a million things to do. I badly need to sleep. I signed up for Youth Leaders Summit. I am going to miss a whole day of lessons. I am going to die.
I do regret not trying to run for council though I say that.
But I must be happy on Wednesday. I must keep my spirits high. I must be excited. I must do a good job.
Damn, this is depressing.
Days like these make me wonder if I did make the right decision. Would I have been much better off elsewhere? I don't know. I guess it's once again, another wrong turn in my life for me to deal with. There's a long way ahead and I'll plough through it all. I'll give all I can. I must. Because, of you. Because, I can.
What do you see in her, you don't see in me
February 21, 2009 / 8:35 PM
Choir girls. :D Yuenwai and Pohhui. Hello people, I am back!
Nothing much to say about school just that we had the CAS thing on Friday and I went for jewelry making. I made lots of random earrings. Awesome right?
Choir camp was rather tiring but the girls are great. :) Yuenwai and I have 3 CCAs and guess what, they're the same 3!! Coincidence. Haha.
1. Bio Prac 2. Math Exercises 1.1 to 1.4 3. Annotate 'Apologia Pro Poemate Meo' 4. Finish reading Siddartha 5. Finish copying Econs notes from Boonhwee 5. Photocopy EngA1 notes from Guoyang 6. Prepare for Wednesday's emceeing 7. Practice choir songs
Updated to-do list for this weekend. Or rather, tomorrow. Shall strike out when done (if I ever am, oh wait, I must).
So much to do, so little time.
Falling madly, deeply
February 19, 2009 / 8:28 PM
Left school at 7, once again. Damn, I have no time for myself now.
In any case, I am really not doing well in school. Been getting help in math from Gleen. Not forgetting, my practical skills are an epic failure. I had to keep getting people like Ian, Ann and Janice to help me look at my microscope. Teacher was nice though.
Switching to BCME. Please let me stay in 5.4, I don't ever want to transfer classes.. I think I should be able to stay, right?
I have so much catching up to do for every subject. Good luck to me. This is so utterly depressing. My journey in IB has started for less than a week and I'm reaching home way past 7pm, as well as sleeping less than 5 hours a day.
Bye. Off to camp tomorrow so, see you.
You pick the song they're playing,
February 18, 2009 / 7:47 PM
Ohemgee, I am damn tired. I am probably going to switch history to econs. Cheers.
3rd official school day and I managed to have a latecoming record already. Lucky me. By 10 seconds too.
To-do list for my own reference:
1. Switch history to econs. 2. Reach school at 6.45am tomorrow. 3. Annotate 'Apologia Pro Poemate Meo' 4. Math Exercise 1.1 to 1.4 5. Finish reading Siddhartha 6. Finish reading Huck Finn
I hope I haven't missed out anything. :)
Just reached home, need to go bathe. Love my busy life, don't you?
Come back to me, I'll be here waiting
February 17, 2009 / 6:18 PM
The photo taken at ACS(I)'s canteen the other dayyyy: Happy birthday Ian Choi AKA BBC! I miss laughing at you in school, in class, on the bus and in the car. I miss your imitations of Barbarella. I miss mugging with you, sister and the rest. Classmate of four years. Hehehe 409! ♥
Today's chinese lesson was the funniest lesson I've ever been to in my entire life. No, I don't mean it in a bad way. It was a refreshing change to our routine of boring lessons.
Stayed around after school with Janice to finish up chinese homework so we could dump the books in the locker and we probably got mistaken as muggers.
Did you forget, did you forget about me? Never again, please don't forget, don't forget
Roses have thorns, they say
February 16, 2009 / 7:57 PM
ACS IB Year 5:I am liking 5.4 so far, I hope this keeps up. Because it's a biochem class, there are 9 girls which is really awesome. Yes, that is considered many girls in ACS.
Did I mention the girls are really nice people? :) Have yet to know the guys but they seem alright too. On the other hand, the lessons really suck a lot. I always catch no ball. I seriously need a tutor or study group.
Think I have sort of confirmed my CCA already. More or less. Choir and Model UN. Haha, need to quit the rest.
I have an effing headache so, goodbye. (Am freaking struggling like crazy to keep up with everything omg)
Imyimyimyimy, you have no idea.
It's gna be a night to remember,
February 14, 2009 / 10:32 PM
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Spread the love, all. ♥
I still miss you guys so freaking much, my dear 409 people and REDcampers, who mean so much. It's seriously never going to be the same again, without you all.
Omg, I feel like bloody crap. I cannot do poems at all. Freak freak freak, I am major screwed. What the hell!!!!! I am damn pissed. Go away. Don't talk to me.
I changed my phone. To a pink W595. Even so, that doesn't cheer me up. At all.
If you think your life sucks, think again or have a look at mine. I am totally aware that I said I wanted to mug hard for the next two years but this is way more than I asked for, or hoped for. IB sucks.
What a day. :(
(edit) Thank you, my dear friends (too many to mention, but you will know who you are), I love you truckloads. I can't wait to see you all soon because you're the people I can be truly happy with. I am just being grumpy now.
And thank you Guoyang, for helping me out with this crap. I know I just completely wasted your time.
Amanda Seraphina Ang, I need you to rescue me!
Saying all the right things all night long,
/ 12:41 AM
Oh hello, I actually forgot to blog. Amazing.
ACSiting race at Sentosa. We did a lot of forfeits and headed back to vivo to have lunch without finishing the stations. Back to school for closure (candlelit sial) dinner. We almost started fire. Is that an exaggeration? Whatever.
Performances were pretty good. After which, I walked to ACJC to join Yanling instead.
OG15 OG15 OG15 we are going to be in different classes already, just after everyone gets used to everyone else. How fast. I'm happy to have known you guys. Love.
I'm in 5.4 now. Apparently others in there are all BCME while I'm not. Noooooooo, I want to be in a non-intact class, damn it!!
Oh yeah, I met BBC again today. His hair is like omg-so-short. Finally meeting the 409 girls tomorrow, yay.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Mucho loves, xoxo.
Watch me now and I'll be someone new,
February 12, 2009 / 7:27 PM
I am happy today so you can expect a longer post.
1. OG15 went into the finals for anglolympics and although we lost to OG5, we achieved our goal. It was to play with the chicken. (We played captain's ball with various things and for the finals it was a chicken)
2. Going to do unscripted emceeing for cross country @ WCP. It's so easy to screw up but hey, I'm finally getting a chance to try it out and I don't have to run.
3. Touring international students around Singapore and ACS. Was at the briefing today with Pohhui, Guoyang and Christopher. Sounds fun though I'm going to be very busy.
4. Off to sentosa (my favourite place in the world) tomorrow. It's the last day of orientation and that's sad but I'll bring my camera. School ends at 8pm and OG outing to James' house before we say goodbye forever.
Release me from this curse I'm in,
February 11, 2009 / 7:43 PM
I signed up for lots of stuff for my house (Oldham, btw). Just wait and see how I'll die. Argh, why is my life so difficult?!
Attended debate with Jeremiah today, who made me wonder how I'll fulfil my CAS hours especially the Creativity and Action when I have no performing arts or sports CCA. Going for choir auditions soon anyway.
Omg life sucks hahaha. I miss the feeling of being with you people at NP so much.
I don't wna be the one, only overjoyed
February 10, 2009 / 8:17 PM
Heyhoheyho, I am a busy girl. I guess I'll be keeping my posts short or stop posting on a daily basis.
Choosing to do chemistry for EE (Extended Essay fyi, investigation + research of max 4000 words, core requirement for IB). Yeah, I know you think I am crazy. It's definitely going to be a rocky road ahead but I'm going to try.
Borrowed our English text from the school library. I think I failed the drama auditions because I forgot everything I prepared after getting onstage.
Let the covers fall away,
February 09, 2009 / 7:26 PM
I can feel myself dying a little everytime there is TOK. Luckily I don't have TOK everyday, if not I'd be dead by the end of this year.
Whee school is alright now. I don't have to be like a loser during breaks. Haha.
But I still miss you guys. 409 and REDcampers. Jocelyn, sister, BBC! KAP soon k!
Sing ACS forever more, our ACS forever~
Damn cute chorus!!
Play me a record, forget what they say
February 08, 2009 / 9:38 PM
So today I sent my skirt for alteration at queensway and they literally cut the whole thing up. With the amount of cloth remaining (wait, I think they call it a skirt), I might as well not wear anything at all. I did get a full refund for the skirt and alteration fees though.
Thankfully, the nice people at BPP were willing to alter for me the other skirt I had left. It was so last minute, I am really lucky. Now I have something decent to wear tomorrow. :)
I am eating 10000 meals per day. I am becoming damn fat. I can hardly fit into my skirt. I bought it only 3 days ago. I think the skirt is going to split once I sit down. Hahahhaha.
I haven't decided on my subject combination. I need help. Argh.
School tomorrow again. I am extremely grumpy due to lack of sleep. Is it possible to die from over-yawning? Argh!!!
This time, I'll never let you go
February 06, 2009 / 7:12 PM
Hey people. I think I am slowly adapting to the very unfamiliar environment and beginning to feel excited about the two years in IB.
Lectures were usual. Boring. Nothing more to say.
CCA fair! I went to try out for emceeing for school events. I know, I totally didn't expect to do it but since I was waiting..? Anyway, that isn't a CCA. I signed up for like drama, choir, debate, the international conferencing thing and ink. I'm hoping for drama as my 1st CCA, either the international conferencing thing or Ink as my 2nd CCA.
I forgot what is the name of the international conferencing thing but I know this year they sent students to Harvard to debate or something like that, which is really cool. Other places for this year include Princeton! I want to go too.
And Ink is well.. a newsletter.
I hope I'll be called up to emcee for school events, yo.
Forgot to mention, Keefe and Clarence brought Pohhui and I around the school. Like from the secondary school block to IB block to boarding school. I hope we are better navigators now.
Haha then I met Barbarella B Choi too. Awesome. I bet you miss me.
Full steam ahead, I say! :D
IB ftw. Hahaha yeah, what a sudden change in attitude. Yes, I am that fickle.
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
February 05, 2009 / 9:17 PM
The day kick started with me arriving early and finding no one to talk to because no one assembles early. I spotted Dekguan though, so I had some company. Haha.
TOK was boring as ever but history and geography was quite fun.
My uniform costs a freaking bomb. $50 per set (blouse and skirt). That's excluding the PE tee, jacket, sweater and all that.
Going to take a very weird combination. Higher level: EngA1(EngLit), Chem, Bio. Standard level: Math, ChineseB, History.
Yeah, the lecturer said it'll be unusual but it should be fine. I don't have background in EngLit or History so it isn't going to be easy but I shall do my best.
I know that I've got issues,
February 04, 2009 / 4:01 PM
Lectures sort of started today. In case you are thinking that ACSI is super not fun, I have to tell you that our orientation resumes next Wednesday. Yeah, it's not the end yet.
Anyway, I swear Theory Of Knowledge is by far the most boring. It has to be the dullest lecture I've ever went for in my life. Damn IB requirements man. Why TOK, why, why, why???
I think I managed to not pay attention in every lecture and fall asleep in most. Hey, all the girls kept dozing off k. I also managed to come to the conclusion that I never want to study Chinese again after today's Chinese B lecture. I should be taking French ab initio for my 2nd language instead.
English A1 is interesting. It's actually literature level English. I have a four-sided poem response due in the week after next. Seeing as I have no literature background, I hope I can get it done.
They keep reminding us that IB requires consistent work!! Argh.
Don't get the wrong idea, I do have friends in ACS. Not close friends or anything though. In any case, I believe things will improve soon or at least, when we are split into permanent classes. :)
But you're pretty messed up too
Fairytales from so long ago,
February 03, 2009 / 7:10 PM
Hello you. :)
Schedule today was filled with talks. We learnt the mass dance. It was amusing. We also had wet games. Albeit some fun, it was disgusting.
Oh look, I'm an aspiring poet. My sentences are rhyming.
Hahaha okay, whatever. Don't worry people, I am perfectly fine. I won't be put off so easily. I am so going to graduate as an awesome 45-pointer. In case you didn't know, that's full marks for IB.
You can't see the world through a mirror,
February 02, 2009 / 10:11 PM
I'm dead tired. I don't know why but I've lost all my enthusiasm about orientation.
The girls were seriously outnumbered today and it was sufficiently weird to walk into a boys' school. That's what you get for being in an IP boys' school.
The campus is really pretty. I can hardly navigate. Anyway, that's beside the point. It's not my fault. It's just too big. Almost everything is air-conditioned except the corridor. The toilets are clean. Maybe even cleaner than Nanhua's and that's saying something. I suppose that is where our school fees go to.
Did a lot of administration, had chapel and some talks, as well as icebreakers and telematches. Nothing much. Oh, did I mention the pledge was said in Tamil today?
To be frank, I don't really fit into ACSI. I think others can tell. I mean, I have friends but it's just quite different. Everyone seems to come from girls' schools. As for the guys, everyone comes from ACSI. Well, duh. I hope it gets better though.
Hmm. IB books cost not only arms. They probably cost legs too.
Hahaha I should sleep soon. Screw waking up at 6am everyday. I'm so not getting enough sleep.
Haven't you heard that I'm gna be okay?
February 01, 2009 / 11:16 PM
I know, I totally shouldn't be posting at this hour but here I am.
School starts tomorrow.
This was my own choice and not my parents'. In a way. That's why I'll make it through the next two years fabulously. :D
Looks like I made a mess again,
/ 1:07 AM
I am teh awesome right? International BACCALAUREATE, here I come! (Yes, I can spell) I have a meme to do today so.. here goes. :)
Instructions: Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title. (Ignoring korean and japanese as usual)
不要哭 你好傻 I feel oh, so glamorous 我只能低着头发呆 All winter we got carried away Let's go, so bring your passport, girl Always knew that when we said goodbye 夕阳快消失了 当我遇见你的时候 世界没有不同 看住时间 别让它在再流浪 Paint me in your sunshine Suddenly I am in front of the lights I'm lying here on the floor where you left me Can you imagine what would happen Incompatible, it don't matter no Boy meets girl, you were my dream, my world 他不爱我 Come enjoy the life I don't mind it, I don't mind at all Don't forget that I was even alive I cannot find, a way to describe it
What a random jumble of rubbish. I suppose the 'poem' says something like I was so in love with 'you' and 'you' left me. Then maybe something like, I was happy yet didn't want 'you' to forget I was alive. I cannot properly describe what I feel??
Hahaha right, whatever. Anyway, talked to AmandaA on the phone. Awesome. When everything else in the world crumbles, we'll still have each other. Now, forever, always. :)

I am happy today so you can expect a longer post.
1. OG15 went into the finals for anglolympics and although we lost to OG5, we achieved our goal. It was to play with the chicken. (We played captain's ball with various things and for the finals it was a chicken)
2. Going to do unscripted emceeing for cross country @ WCP. It's so easy to screw up but hey, I'm finally getting a chance to try it out and I don't have to run.
3. Touring international students around Singapore and ACS. Was at the briefing today with Pohhui, Guoyang and Christopher. Sounds fun though I'm going to be very busy.
4. Off to sentosa (my favourite place in the world) tomorrow. It's the last day of orientation and that's sad but I'll bring my camera. School ends at 8pm and OG outing to James' house before we say goodbye forever.
Release me from this curse I'm in,

I signed up for lots of stuff for my house (Oldham, btw). Just wait and see how I'll die. Argh, why is my life so difficult?!
Attended debate with Jeremiah today, who made me wonder how I'll fulfil my CAS hours especially the Creativity and Action when I have no performing arts or sports CCA. Going for choir auditions soon anyway.
Omg life sucks hahaha. I miss the feeling of being with you people at NP so much.
I don't wna be the one, only overjoyed

Heyhoheyho, I am a busy girl. I guess I'll be keeping my posts short or stop posting on a daily basis.
Choosing to do chemistry for EE (Extended Essay fyi, investigation + research of max 4000 words, core requirement for IB). Yeah, I know you think I am crazy. It's definitely going to be a rocky road ahead but I'm going to try.
Borrowed our English text from the school library. I think I failed the drama auditions because I forgot everything I prepared after getting onstage.
Let the covers fall away,

I can feel myself dying a little everytime there is TOK. Luckily I don't have TOK everyday, if not I'd be dead by the end of this year.
Whee school is alright now. I don't have to be like a loser during breaks. Haha.
But I still miss you guys. 409 and REDcampers. Jocelyn, sister, BBC! KAP soon k!
Sing ACS forever more, our ACS forever~
Damn cute chorus!!
Play me a record, forget what they say

So today I sent my skirt for alteration at queensway and they literally cut the whole thing up. With the amount of cloth remaining (wait, I think they call it a skirt), I might as well not wear anything at all. I did get a full refund for the skirt and alteration fees though.
Thankfully, the nice people at BPP were willing to alter for me the other skirt I had left. It was so last minute, I am really lucky. Now I have something decent to wear tomorrow. :)
I am eating 10000 meals per day. I am becoming damn fat. I can hardly fit into my skirt. I bought it only 3 days ago. I think the skirt is going to split once I sit down. Hahahhaha.
I haven't decided on my subject combination. I need help. Argh.
School tomorrow again. I am extremely grumpy due to lack of sleep. Is it possible to die from over-yawning? Argh!!!
This time, I'll never let you go

Hey people. I think I am slowly adapting to the very unfamiliar environment and beginning to feel excited about the two years in IB.
Lectures were usual. Boring. Nothing more to say.
CCA fair! I went to try out for emceeing for school events. I know, I totally didn't expect to do it but since I was waiting..? Anyway, that isn't a CCA. I signed up for like drama, choir, debate, the international conferencing thing and ink. I'm hoping for drama as my 1st CCA, either the international conferencing thing or Ink as my 2nd CCA.
I forgot what is the name of the international conferencing thing but I know this year they sent students to Harvard to debate or something like that, which is really cool. Other places for this year include Princeton! I want to go too.
And Ink is well.. a newsletter.
I hope I'll be called up to emcee for school events, yo.
Forgot to mention, Keefe and Clarence brought Pohhui and I around the school. Like from the secondary school block to IB block to boarding school. I hope we are better navigators now.
Haha then I met Barbarella B Choi too. Awesome. I bet you miss me.
Full steam ahead, I say! :D
IB ftw. Hahaha yeah, what a sudden change in attitude. Yes, I am that fickle.
Whispers hello, I miss you quite terribly
February 05, 2009 / 9:17 PM
The day kick started with me arriving early and finding no one to talk to because no one assembles early. I spotted Dekguan though, so I had some company. Haha.
TOK was boring as ever but history and geography was quite fun.
My uniform costs a freaking bomb. $50 per set (blouse and skirt). That's excluding the PE tee, jacket, sweater and all that.
Going to take a very weird combination. Higher level: EngA1(EngLit), Chem, Bio. Standard level: Math, ChineseB, History.
Yeah, the lecturer said it'll be unusual but it should be fine. I don't have background in EngLit or History so it isn't going to be easy but I shall do my best.
I know that I've got issues,
February 04, 2009 / 4:01 PM
Lectures sort of started today. In case you are thinking that ACSI is super not fun, I have to tell you that our orientation resumes next Wednesday. Yeah, it's not the end yet.
Anyway, I swear Theory Of Knowledge is by far the most boring. It has to be the dullest lecture I've ever went for in my life. Damn IB requirements man. Why TOK, why, why, why???
I think I managed to not pay attention in every lecture and fall asleep in most. Hey, all the girls kept dozing off k. I also managed to come to the conclusion that I never want to study Chinese again after today's Chinese B lecture. I should be taking French ab initio for my 2nd language instead.
English A1 is interesting. It's actually literature level English. I have a four-sided poem response due in the week after next. Seeing as I have no literature background, I hope I can get it done.
They keep reminding us that IB requires consistent work!! Argh.
Don't get the wrong idea, I do have friends in ACS. Not close friends or anything though. In any case, I believe things will improve soon or at least, when we are split into permanent classes. :)
But you're pretty messed up too
Fairytales from so long ago,

Hello you. :)
Schedule today was filled with talks. We learnt the mass dance. It was amusing. We also had wet games. Albeit some fun, it was disgusting.
Oh look, I'm an aspiring poet. My sentences are rhyming.
Hahaha okay, whatever. Don't worry people, I am perfectly fine. I won't be put off so easily. I am so going to graduate as an awesome 45-pointer. In case you didn't know, that's full marks for IB.
You can't see the world through a mirror,

I'm dead tired. I don't know why but I've lost all my enthusiasm about orientation.
The girls were seriously outnumbered today and it was sufficiently weird to walk into a boys' school. That's what you get for being in an IP boys' school.
The campus is really pretty. I can hardly navigate. Anyway, that's beside the point. It's not my fault. It's just too big. Almost everything is air-conditioned except the corridor. The toilets are clean. Maybe even cleaner than Nanhua's and that's saying something. I suppose that is where our school fees go to.
Did a lot of administration, had chapel and some talks, as well as icebreakers and telematches. Nothing much. Oh, did I mention the pledge was said in Tamil today?
To be frank, I don't really fit into ACSI. I think others can tell. I mean, I have friends but it's just quite different. Everyone seems to come from girls' schools. As for the guys, everyone comes from ACSI. Well, duh. I hope it gets better though.
Hmm. IB books cost not only arms. They probably cost legs too.
Hahaha I should sleep soon. Screw waking up at 6am everyday. I'm so not getting enough sleep.
Haven't you heard that I'm gna be okay?
February 01, 2009 / 11:16 PM
I know, I totally shouldn't be posting at this hour but here I am.
School starts tomorrow.
This was my own choice and not my parents'. In a way. That's why I'll make it through the next two years fabulously. :D
Looks like I made a mess again,

I am teh awesome right? International BACCALAUREATE, here I come! (Yes, I can spell) I have a meme to do today so.. here goes. :)
Instructions: Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title. (Ignoring korean and japanese as usual)
不要哭 你好傻 I feel oh, so glamorous 我只能低着头发呆 All winter we got carried away Let's go, so bring your passport, girl Always knew that when we said goodbye 夕阳快消失了 当我遇见你的时候 世界没有不同 看住时间 别让它在再流浪 Paint me in your sunshine Suddenly I am in front of the lights I'm lying here on the floor where you left me Can you imagine what would happen Incompatible, it don't matter no Boy meets girl, you were my dream, my world 他不爱我 Come enjoy the life I don't mind it, I don't mind at all Don't forget that I was even alive I cannot find, a way to describe it
What a random jumble of rubbish. I suppose the 'poem' says something like I was so in love with 'you' and 'you' left me. Then maybe something like, I was happy yet didn't want 'you' to forget I was alive. I cannot properly describe what I feel??
Hahaha right, whatever. Anyway, talked to AmandaA on the phone. Awesome. When everything else in the world crumbles, we'll still have each other. Now, forever, always. :)
