Don't Wait

The sky glows
I see it shining when my eyes close
I hear your warnings but we both know
I'm gonna look at it again

Don't wait, Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

You get one look
I'll show you something that the knife took.
A bit to early for my own good
Now let's not speak of it again

Don't wait, Don't wait
The road is now a sudden sea
And suddenly, you're deep enough
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down
To lay your armor down

Don't wait, Don't wait
The lights will flash and fade away
The days will pass you by
Don't wait
To lay your armor down

How much does it cost to make a photocopy or 2? Well... let me tell you... basically... my manager asked for a photocopy of my IC as well as my bank book for the head office so that they could credit the pay to my account... right fair enough... but as i'm usually working full shifts and always rushing late for work... the only way tat was gonna happen was if i made the photocopies at paragon... so i trotted down to the basement during one of my toilet breaks... found a kodak shop to do my deeds... printed 2 sheets... one with a front n back of my IC... and the other with juz a shot of my bank book... how much? 60 cents came the reply... OH MY GAWD! for 2 sheets?! HOW COME was the cry... well... according to expert analysations... it's 20 cents for the bank book shot... and 40 cents for the IC shot! WHAT?! why 40 cents? i only used 1 sheet! ALTOGETHER ONLY 2 SHEETS OF PAPER LEH! well... the salesgirl's explanation was a very simple one... it's 40 cents coz i printed the FRONT & BACK of the IC... even if it was on the same side of the paper... My Gawd! i'm being ripped off in front of my very own eyes! KL Chan would nv do this to me! For the benefit of all those who dun know KL Chan... tat's the name of the shop at my market tat i usually do my photocopies at...

I just want to mention something... the queue outside aston's is fantastic... even when they haven't open shop for the day... aston is this restaurant in Katong that sells western food at awfully cheap prices and hence the queue... the queue during dinner is even more fantastic... the kind u'd mistake tat next day is TOTO $10 million draw like tat... can compare with the donut queue at raffles city... incredible ain't it?

Why?

Some things i will never understand...
Like why some pple like to blast their music so loud on the public transport...
Like why Henry moves to Barcelona when he juz signed a "BRAND NEW" 4 yr deal...
And like why whenever it is i shave my upper lip it always leave a red patch!
STOP IT!!!

Borrowed a couple of DVDs from Jon recently... Anchorman and Team America... Basically... i've heard a lot of things abt Anchorman but i nv actually got the chance to watch it... and my my... am i glad i caught it... this has got to be one of Will Ferrell's best movies yet... beats blades of glory in my books... he and his anchor team were juz hilarious... i'd say this was better than zoolander... Team America was slightly in a different class... it was juz so ridiculous that it was funny watching... the song for the moment? "I'm so ronery"... tat song always cracks me up...

Been drowning myself on Damien Rice lately... I've always liked his music... never get tired of his deep sincere sounds... my favourite song from his new album has got to be 9 Crimes but Accidental Babies is just as good... i was real surprised when the song got played during a scene in Shrek 3... i mean... Shrek 3 is meant to be like a "happy" kind of film... wat are they doing playing Damien Rice then? He shouldn't be there... juz like the 1st line of his song... "leave me out with the waste, this is not what i do..."
