Hey there Delilah

Never did she realise the lyrics to this song in the past. But she came upon it while working and surfing for music on youtube when it started playing "Hey there Delilah"

And suddenly it struck her when Plain White T's sang till the second sentence.

What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl, tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice, it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me, girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with schoolA
nd I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This one's for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.


Now you get what I meant.
Now it all make sense and she remembered the time when it was sang and played.

Just those emo thoughts

Just a thought

These feelings have long been inactive that she thought she will never feel the same again
She thought she might have even forgotten how it all felt
She thought contentment was supposed to come in other form

Talking about being contented
Contented was supposed to be contented and be happy with what you have even though it is not perfect. Nothing's perfect. So accept the weakness, together with everything that came with it. That what what she thought.

However, somehow she might have interpreted it wrongly all these while. What she was doing might just be a forced contentment. Either that, or she is blessed with so much she can ever asked for, that she really have no other request.

Talking about those forgotten feelings and feelings she never felt
Feelings that somehow or another makes you wanna tear and tears dropping seems easier than ever before. Like that defensive wall built around her all these while is gradually opening up bit by bit, putting up the defence, at the same time, joining forces to be even stronger.

Expressions that she joked always and thought it never happened in real life. She makes fun of her mother crying because some serial drama have such a touching ending. Yes, she laughed at her and thought she was out of her mind, engrossed in a life of a fairytale. Yet, crying because she is so happy that she forgets how to express it and tears just burst out like the water that was built up in the dam, holding so strong at every difficult moment, is actually possible.

And these are actually positive energy, not necessary negative. These feelings evoke humanly touch. Remember those days where she did not feel alive at all and that this world is so filled with reality that hurts. Those were the hard times. Feeling of emptiness isn't the best feeling in the world. And well, maybe it was those times, that taught you how happiness feels like. Maybe it was those times, that taught you to be stronger than you thought you could. Those days makes you appreciate what bliss feels like and how hard it is to come by.

There's always two sides to a coin. With every bad thing that happens, think about it. You cry, you yell, you curse. Yes. Down the road, it might not be that bad afterall. And you will start thanking the awful, painful past.

Iftar Dinner 2008

Alright we got drag to the dinner by my boss and he cleverly left for Singapore. Was thinking to drop the idea of going there as me and nee worked til the morning on the same evening that we are suppose to go for the dinner. But luckily we went and there's green packet with quite a good amount of cash in there. The portion is enough for 1 week of household food consumption. Ha..alright so here's some photos!

Saturday here.

Working on Saturday. As Friday is the "weekend" here. Still have not gotten used to having Friday as the "weekend". It kinda make me feel so disorientated. Especially when you need to connect yourself back to Singapore. Trying to count the hours in Singapore is bad enough, though I'm getting better at it. And it wasn't as bad as I thought. And not trying to oriented yourself with Singapore in the sense of working days...hmm..
Was doing nothing yesterday on Friday. Was lying in bed and as what Kenneth says, "sardine in the sun", and chatting. Well been a long time since I completely did nothing. No internet. If you have not realise how internet keep us entertained..wohoo. We a TV which was as good as not having because there's only 3 arabic channel and we can't be bothered to set it up as we'll be moving soon. And I brought my ipod charger but no ipod. If I can be alittle more careful. How stupid.

So besides shopping til 1am in Mall of Emirates(MOE) which we have been doing for the past 2 "weekends"-Thursday Night..and yes, over here, shopping centre opens til late 12am or 1 am every weekend. Manz, Singapore should make life easier for us.Trying to remember when cab surcharge is hard enough and the different rate of ERP at different time of the day. You still have to try to remember when and which malls open late on which night. Anyway..Drivers will love it here. Once you pass through 1 "ERP" here, which they call it SALIK, those that you pass down the same road, you don't have to pay anymore.

Next post I shall comment on Camel racing here.
Updating some pics up!

Dubai 1st Week



Well in the office now doing work and blogging as she do not have internet in our temporary apartment. And Syafiq went back home yesterday. And there's supposingly they said Earthquake. She didn't felt it. Maybe we were all rushing for a meeting at 3pm but perhaps due to her cursing and swearing..the earthquake happened at 3pm. Ha so we were like running down 10 storey laughing. Not sure why but Nee and Derrick did not hear correctly or thought I was joking when Jane told us to pack up because there's an earthquake.


Ha anyway posting some new photos here. To let you guys know I'm alive and there nothing that happened. And weird enough, it seems like only people from our building ran out of the building. None ran out from the other buildings. Pray hard dude its not some..you know..
And thanks S for that little gift. Know this girl here doesn't really have anything much to display on her bed. Very heartless girl. That gift from a creative fellow is indeed different. Only we knew what it meant. No pictures, no fancy decoration. Just a shared language. Never received something that actually have made her tear. But well. Be happy we've got tons of time together(with understanding people around too).
Yeah and she's doing fine. Xueni's my room mate. Kenneth and Derrick are the guys in the house. Well we cook lunch and amazing Aileen actually accidentally created a nice dish. Ha so proud of herself. And S was still smiling when I cooked a meal. Ha. Alrite world. Back to work!
