Hmmm

4 months is just changing my contact lenses 4 times.


Should be pretty easy and fast, right?

Home

I'm staring out into the night,

Trying to hide the pain.

I'm going to the place where love

And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.

And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain.

Well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

Well I'm going home.

The miles are getting longer, it seems,

The closer I get to you.

I've not always been the best man or friend for you.

But your love remains true.

And I don't know why.

You always seem to give me another try.

So I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old,

Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all,

And then some you don't want.

Be careful what you wish for,

'Cause you just might get it all.

You just might get it all, yeah.

Oh, well I'm going home,

Back to the place where I belong,

And where your love has always been enough for me.

I'm not running from.

No, I think you got me all wrong.

I don't regret this life I chose for me.

But these places and these faces are getting old.

I said these places and these faces are getting old,

So I'm going home.

I'm going home.

*I'm 9384 miles away from home.

It's only been a week.

It doesn't help that this song was playing on the plane when I was flying AWAY from home.

Don't Forget.

Today was a great day. I finally remembered the reasons why I wanted to come to Buffalo so much. And these are the reasons..

I will never get to experience all these in Singapore. For my whole 21 years, I felt I've lived in vain. This is indeed an eye opening experience I will never forget. Everything is so different. The people, the culture, even the clouds, trees and grass. =D If the going ever gets tough, I should remind myself about all these reasons again.

P/S Sis, show these pictures to Daddy and Mummy to let them know I'm fine. Cuz I'm lazy to upload album on facebook. Thanks.

Necessities Bought

So far, I've went to shop at 3 places to get important things for my room.


1) Tops - Cereal, Tissue box and Waste paper basket. US$11.98
2) Walmart - Lamp, Bedsheets, Comforter, Gallon of water, Pillow, Bulbs. US$60.62
3) Dollar Tree - 3 Sets of hangers (8 each), Popcorn. US$4.26

Total= US$76.86 = Sing$110.75


*Still got more things to get!

Update

It's like 8.22am here in Buffalo and I'm already awake like since hours ago. :( Slept around 1plusam and woke up around 4plusam. All because of the time difference and hunger I suppose? So frustrating. But luckily I have Liz with me now. So after chatting for a while we got up to make ourselves breakfast. Frosted flakes and milk. Simple but filling. I've this feeling I will be shagged by the afternoon. Hope the jetlag wears off soon man. Haha, I think only Jia and Will can adapt well. Think they will only be up at 12pm.

Oh after today Liz will be shifting to her dorm. So I will be all alone in my room! Haha =_=. I miss home, I miss everyone, everything. But I'm kinda proud of myself cuz I survived the flights and I've packed my place already. Realized doing everything by myself is really tough. Guess I'm too sheltered. I fixed the lamp, got it working, put my bedsheets, pillow and comforter up, hanged up my clothes, packed other stuffs into drawers and packed the table. So things look really nice now. Wonder what's going to happen to all those things when I leave. Haha, but the bed sucks. So hard, I miss my bed! Will take a picture of my room when everything is 100% neat.

I guess when you are alone, you've to nag yourself to get things done. There's no one to force-feed me now. So for the sake of survival, I force-feed myself. Eat MORE so that I can store the food for the longer period of time. It sucks when no one is there to prepare food for you at odd hours and weird timing. If only I'm a camel, I would definitely store up 4months worth of food.


P/S Going to Jia's place soon. She cooked porridge and I have pork floss. HAHA.




Jia and I at the pancake place. Cheap, good and big portion!

Reached

At the apartment now! Unpacking, Ciao!



*Pardon the slit-like eyes. Jet-lagged.

One One DAY!!!

I think I have a furball in my throat. I'm choking. (with emotions)



Perhaps without send off, makes leaving much more easier. :(

Before You Go

When you leave, you must be prepared for changes. Be it positive or negative. You gotta accept them, or even embrace them.

You made the decision, you made the choice, and you have to live with it.

Being away helps and hurts. But whatever that don't kill, makes you stronger.

"The struggles I'm facing, the chances I'm taking

Sometimes they knock me down but no I'm not breaking

I may not know it but these are the moments that

I'm going to remember most yeah

Just got to keep going

And I, I got to be strong

Just keep pushing on"

-If we are all script writers of our own lives, what would my ending be?

One More Night

David Archuleta Lyrics – Touch My Hand

Saw you from a distance
Saw you from the stage
Something about the look in your eyes
Something about your beautiful face

In a sea of people
There is only you
I never knew what the song was about
But suddenly now I do

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again

I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

I see the sparkle of a million flashlights
A wonderwall of stars
But the one that’s shining out so bright is the one right where you are

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Saw you from the distance
Saw you from the stage
Something about the look in your eyes
Something about your beautiful face

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hand
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Can’t let the music stop
Can’t let this feeling end
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never see you again
Can’t let the music stop
Until I touch your hands
Cause if I do it’ll all be over, I’ll never get the chance again
I’ll never get the chance again

Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Reach out as far as you can
Only me, only you, and the band
Trying to reach out to you, touch my hand
Yeah, yeah, yeah

-Wonderful music, wonderful performance, wonderful night! :)

Which Is Better?

To be left behind, or to leave behind?

- I used to think it's the latter. Now, I'm not sure anymore.

BACK FROM HELL

Last day of exams which means less time spent with uni peeps :( But had a fun time at Ikea and dog (shit, I typed god) farms with the entire clique. YAY!

Anyway just got home to receive a surprise from my dear sister! 1 Ikimono 110 mini camera and 1 Action Sampler. HA, now I have so many cameras that runs on film. (Holga, Super Sampler, Action Sampler and Ikimono). BUT I have no idea how to utilize them properly. Have yet to develop any of the film. *HELP, Janis, Feli or Jo?!

Oh, recently I got my new lens (55-250mm) for my Canon 450D which resulted in me being called a voyeur by many. But, I don't care cuz I can zoom zoom zoom now. =) I want MORE lenses! But looking at the canon websites make me sad. Look at the prices!!
