hmm.... by conincidence, channel 5 just showed moulin rouge and i watched it again... ha, completely unproductive this weekend due to some unforseen circumstances and in general suffering a burn out. GP common test is 3 days time, CO camp in 5 days time, March holidays in 6 days time, common tests in 15 days time, end of common tests in 19 days time, CO concert in 2 months 2 days time... and so on..

9 weeks in JC2 passed by in a flash, considering that after june we would all be mugging our brains out, that leaves 11 short weeks of sch as a JC2 student. I still remember after CO concert last yr, there was just tht sinking feeling, i believe it'll be the same this year, just that i would already have learnt to treasure everything b4 tht moment comes more...

ha... http://kevan.org/johari?name=Ziming Since everyone's getting one, i've decided to get one too. So, if u happen to have time on ur hands, can go do :)

Watched Moulin Rouge during civics elective todae, reminded me of a quite old song tht is damn nice....

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Everyday I love you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high no river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather and stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Oh come what may, come what may
I will love you

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place...

Come what may, come what may
I will love you until my dying day

[Come What May- Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor (from the OST of Moulin Rouge)]

Moulin Rouge was released in 2001, 5 years ago. The lyrics and music doesn't seem to mean so much then, i guess tht's what u call growing up... Ending off this short post with a quote from the movie,

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return"

Alone in the silent night, with only the tape recorder as a companion.... Rows upon rows of cassettes archived in chronological order, only a few mattered... The selection was done with great care, as they are like keys- they only open suitable locks... So the track plays and the emotions are relived, but it keeps repeating itself until the lock is open... Like a drug, it provides the necessary anaesthesia to numb the pain... When the stop button is hit, there is satisfaction and contentment. Or is there?... Come one day, the cassette would be overused and spoilt and who knows what will happen then?

The lock does not change with time, but the key does. To put up a facade of effectiveness, different keys are used over time to open the lock, but the lock never opens, coz the key is missing- right at where u know to find it.

The song playing in the background, Le Couple's "Wishes", just sounds so pure and nice. Even the lyrics are simple and meaningful...

To nayr-, hi and thanks. To person, u sound like passer-by, lol, but thanks anw. Just out of curiosity, do i know u? U can remain annoymous if u do not wish to reveal ur identity... To snl-, guess we'll just have to wait for the dvd eh...

I'm falling sick i think, averaging only 5 hrs of sleep per day, haiz... the disadvantages of living far away from the school. So, an update on the routine week...

Shireen is back in sch as a relief tutor. Was quite stunned when she walked into my class on Tues and declared that she's taking over Mr Lim for 2 weeks, especially when Mr Lim gave no indication that he was going for reservice, just like Mr Kamel. khoo tot tht she looked quite different, though for me, i tot tht she looked quite the same, lol...

Dr Chan took the chem S session this week, started off by saying i'll end by 5, and in the end ended at 5.30+, plus coz i left at 5.30... lol, the presentors were like criminals lining up for the firing squad as Dr Chan grilled each of them, no holds barred. Corny and lame jokes aside, the session was actually quite useful and effective, though the lack of an answer sheet would be one sore point for the students.

Our GP tutor showed us the application form for admission to US uni during lesson on fri, to give us an idea what the teachers are looking out for when writing recommendations. There was a section where the teacher had to rank the student against the rest of the college population according to a list of qualities. Scrolling down the list, one quality stood out like a sore thumb, it read "sense of humour". lol..

I looked in the sky and there I saw a star shining so bright above
I closed my eyes and wished upon the star that I would find true love
Someone who needed me
Someone to share my life
For a love that would be true
I would wait forever
So...no...matter how long it may be
I will be waiting
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
I believe wishes really come true
Love at first sight I knew it from the moment when you said hello
I hoped you felt it too, but we both so shy- how was I to know?
when you reached for my hand
I knew you were the one
We laughed and talked for hours like I'd known you forever
Like...a...dream or something from a book
True love has found me
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
Noe I see wishes really come true
You just have to dream
Nothing's as bad as it seems
to be...believe me
Someone's waiting for you to try
There in the sky
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
You will see wishes really come true
You can't stop believing-wishes do come true
You gotta believe me (wish on a star) wishes do come true...

[Le Couple- Wishes]
