hard to be soft, tough to be tender

i need to get it back. 

loving metric's help i'm alive.

yes. 

i am breathing.

but that is about it. 

i need help. 

love for a city

because my time in durham is magical.

slow

i know i am a little slow.

but i've only just seen the music video

for gotye's "somebody that i used to know"

enjoy!

step by step

started reading a little today.

i need to do more work. 

but for now. . .

i just want to watch 

"we need to talk about kevin"

odd ball

fly

after days of cooping myself at home.

i finally went out tonight. 

hello beautiful. 

durham cathedral.

the one place i will always love. 

i promise to come back and see you once more. 

at least once more before i die.

the evening was the usual. 

i need to love people more. 

i can't stand the company of meiko. 

(how bizarre for me to say this)

yet i can tolerate most of Romain's rubbish. 

anyway.

we watched intouchables

(english title: untouchable)

i thought it was a brilliant film.

the theme song was good as well.

fly - Ludovico Einaudi

on a side note. 

God has been reminding me about things

and i am very glad His presence is so close.

for now. 

i am looking forward to dinner and movie sessions

with my "brothers" junhan, jieshun and conrad.

it's 3 am. 

and i need sleep. 

oh.

i ate 8 snickers today

in the blackest of rooms

i will follow you into the dark - death cab for cutie

might surprise you

i think this cover of 

"somebody that i used to know"

is brilliant!

hold on

attempts to actually know what i am listening to.

And I'm waiting for the day
I know you've got your part
And I'm waiting for the day
I know you'll have the heart

And I'm hoping that you'll say
That you loved me all this time
But it turns out just the same
And you break apart the things I had

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?

And I'm waiting for the day
Inside my mother's clothing store
And I'm waiting for the day
What am I waiting for?

Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?
Hold on, what do you take me for?
Hold on, what did you say that for?

safe and sound

information is not efficient.

book that was unheard off

opinions exactly similar to my sister

i like

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound. . .

worth sharing

can't say that i am an anime freak
but i really do enjoy those that i read and watch

one piece
card captor sakura
claymore
naruto
full metal alchemist brotherhood

a recent new found love is broken blade (aka break blade)

i speak because i need

samson - regina spektor


You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
And went right back to bed

And the history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us
And the bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came falling on our heads
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Your hair was long when we first met

Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful and
Came into my bed

Oh I cut his hair myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me till the morning light
The morning light
And kissed me till the morning light

Samson went back to bed
Not much hair left on his head
Ate a slice of wonder bread
And went right back to bed

Oh we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
And the history books forgot about us
And the bible didn't mention us
Not even once

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first

equilibrium

glad that mummy and daddy
will be back in a few hours time.

and i've got some explaining to do.
please.
go easy on me.

slice of life

i think this video speaks about the life of an auditor
it is really what chong is going through.

to the bf who has unlimited workload
and total lack of sleep.
please don't die on me.
(:

bundle of joy

visually delicious
pleasing to the senses

1234 - fiest

One, two, three, four
Tell me that you love me more
Sleepless long nights
That is what my youth was for

Old teenage hopes are alive at your door
Left you with nothing but they want some more

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, You know who you are

Sweetheart bitterheart now I can't tell you apart
Cosy and cold, put the horse before the cart

Those teenage hopes who have tears in their eyes
Too scared to own up to one little lie

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are

One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then
One, two, three, four, five, six, nine, or ten
Money can't buy you back the love that you had then

Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, you're changing your heart
Oh, you know who you are
Oh, who you are

For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart
For the teenage boys
They're breaking your heart

explosion of colours
quirky dance moves
a catchy tune

more than just a song

lovers in japan - coldplay


Lovers, keep on the road you're on
Runners, until the race is run
Soldiers, you've got to soldier on
Sometimes even right is wrong

They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day, we are gonna get out

Tonight maybe we're gonna run
Dreaming of the Osaka sun
Ohh ohh...
Dreaming of when the morning comes

They are turning my head out
To see what I'm all about
Keeping my head down
To see what it feels like now
But I have no doubt
One day the sun will come out

soak it all up

trouble sleeping

i was reminded. . .

you and me
across and facing each other

we laid on the cold wooden floor
and i loved how we laughed

being silly at a game
while loving a song

lovers in japan

i love you corlissa

you know i love you so

i love old anime movies.
and now i love joe hisaishi

beautiful
<3

i dont think i can ever fully comprehend
the derivation of utility
(:

your love is gonna drown

Marching Bands Of Manhattan

If I could open my arms
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
I'd bring it to where you are
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
If I could open my mouth
Wide enough for a marching band to march out
They would make your name sing
And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings.

I wish we could open our eyes
To see in all directions at the same time
Oh what a beautiful view
If you were never aware of what was around you
And it is true what you said
That I live like a hermit in my own head
But when the sun shines again
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

i like

i like the background music.
i like it because it reminds me of amilie.
<3
