The lyrics make perfect sense


Muse - Uprising

Paranoia is in bloom,
The PR transmissions will resume,
They'll try to push drugs that keep us all dumbed down,
And hope that we will never see the truth around
(So come on)
Another promise, another scene,
Another packaged lie to keep us trapped in greed,
And all the green belts wrapped around our minds,
And endless red tape to keep the truth confined
(So come on)

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
(So come on)

Interchanging mind control,
Come let the revolution take it's toll,
If you could flick a switch and open your third eye,
You'd see that
We should never be afraid to die
(So come on)

Rise up and take the power back,
It's time the fat cats had a heart attack,
You know that their time's coming to an end,
We have to unify and watch our flag ascend

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious
So come on

They will not force us,
They will stop degrading us,
They will not control us,
We will be victorious

i miss you.

i have the choice of being constantly active and happy or introspectively passive and sad, or i can go mad by ricocheting in btw

If you leave, don't leave now

Please don't take my heart away

Promise me just one more night

Then we'll go our separate ways

We've always had time on our sides

Now it's fading fast

Every second every moment

We've gotta make it last

 

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd still be friends, someday

 

If you leave I won't cry

I won't waste a single day

But if you leave don't look back

I'll be running the other way

Seven years went under the bridge

Like time was standing still

Heaven knows what happens now

You've got to say you will

 

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd meet again

 

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd still be friends

 

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd meet again someday

 

If you leave

If you leave

Don't look back

Don't look back

Hello, i'm a pig. (:

Before you read: please excuse my ego centric rant however Flawed or Stupid it might be, but I couldn't help but purge these thoughts on a caffeine high. (I'm not exaggerating a caffeine high, I get really jittery drinking Segafredo Zanetti - kid you not I start to slur that I need a beer to calm me down)

Wow you know I've never witnessed westerners or "white" people talk during a job interview. I'm eavesdropping on one right now just 2 tables away from where I sit . It's amazing the amount of detail the interviewee is saying about herself! I don't know why but (to me) I think she is putting all her cards on the table... I wouldn't give myself away so quick in an interview. I think in a way I understand why so many expats get jobs here easily while they have Asian bosses. I mean like... hey of course I would prefer an attractive white female to be my PR spokesperson. (If reality was suspended in my favour even though that might just be a gimmick) I sound no where as eloquent, intelligible, or intelligent sounding when I talk, having said that I observe a lot of Singaporeans (though I generally hate to generalize) in contrast, are quite the opposite, rather vocal-less compared to Westerners in general during interviews... I dare say having travelled quite a fair bit. It is funny however that when I was in the army I was labelled "jia kentang" (eat potato) to everyone else, because of the way I spoke. When I go overseas I come off as bleedingly obvious, a person of Asian descent from an Asian country.

I guess because of the way I've been conditioned socially, I never got to understanding my own Chinese roots as much as I really don't understand the west or other eastern cultures. I would however prefer to be one who does not subscribe to any one of these cultures. I totally detest the dogmatic belief system that one is made to preserve; certain traditions that only were there to please your parents. I believe the time is now, where we say "FUCK everything, and let us not be guarded by the doors we close not by our own freewill" I'm not saying we should be more westernized but by default we should be prepared to stop believing in whatever we were made to believe and accept both our foreign and local influences equally... without being governed by the biases of one

E. i always failed to shown my care and concern.
i hope you're feeling better.
Im sorry that i couldnt be there when you need someone.

In life how many regret does one person must had?

phy's property if u r reading this,
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL TO ME.

I have squeezed twenty hours of class into two days! I have learnt a hell lot of awesome stuff which has made me really excited about the coming semesters. I think my life lies in ocean-atmosphere interactions!!! ^_^  Trade winds, westerly winds, upwelling, downwelling I LOVE YOU. Heehee!! Alas, the down side is I need to take some Physics and, here it comes, Maths courses. -__- <--- okay, this is turning into some serious ah lian blog here. 

Anyway, I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEMS OF THE WORLD!!!! 

PLANKTON IS THE KEY, MY FRIENDS!!!! PLANKTON. They really be some cool shit. 

Also, did you know whales go after giant squids??????????????????? I KNOW. =O!!!!! 

Lots of other random facts about our Earth are swimming around in my head right now. Going to add some ocean chemistry into my vast sea (heehee!! :D) of knowledge tomorrow morning. 

Goodnight! 

p.s. 20 more days till I come home!!! ^_^ 

I'm into week two of school, and I'm still loving what I'm learning. Sometimes, though, I feel like the people here are somehow more knowledgeable about the concepts and history and current affairs that it scares me. They throw concepts I've hardly heard of and speak so passionately sometimes that I wonder if I'm doing enough.

Of course, this isn't going to turn me pessimistic, it just makes me all the more enthusiastic in researching and reading and studying. I know, doesn't sound like Gloria possibly two years ago, but I'm learning more and more about myself every day that passes.

I am envisioning dates with myself, sitting el fresco at the Coffee Club. Oooooo... might just do that tomorrow :)

I want to have a robot as project is pilling up.
if only my robot help me do uh. doesnt matter how cute or ugly it is. 
gwaddddd and its left 3 wks to my graduate.
& im seriously lazy to wake up on time to school.
money money :( $$$$$ drop down for me?
i want go taipei with you all luh :'(

Hi self,

you need to grow up.
to leave all this childish juve behaviour and mindset i've been having again.
come on, you're 21. so what's the problem with not clubbing, partying, having fun at gigs, getting pissed drunk and going all crazy with attention and the camera.
you need to grow up. again.
you don't need this age.

even though it pains you to have to let it go.
even though daddy made you lose the happy childhood fantasies you had about well. how little kids should have loads of fun growing up, running around, hanging with friends, playing catching, and going to each other's houses to play masak masak and family in primary school. or playing nonsensical bball in a half court, or just going to have drinks without having to have a time limit.
it's time to set your own limits, on what's fun and what's just plain wrong. doesn't have to be different or wrong to feel good. doesn't have to have to be socially unaccepted to be liked in your books.
you're 21. so what. you're not free anyway. and you're adult enough to be in control. and because of that you have to be in control.

just grow up.
you'll figure.
perhaps now you think you'll look back and regret. the lack of fun, the lack of things done.
but at least you know. you weren't reckless.
and you'd have less difficult regrets to bear.
i hope you're reading this.

Redundant post

So I went to the bank to cash in my weekly pay cheque. Anyhow I decided to treat myself to a Carl's JR meal that cost me $12.70. I ordered the Chilli Cheese Burger meal (or whatever you call it) I honestly feel that that was the worst Burger I ever paid in terms of value for money. It was just really cold, soggy and too rich... I could have just ordered KFC's cheesy fries if I wanted something rich and soggy.

I've never been let down by a burger in my life and I can't believe I was let down by this experience. Maybe it's just the outlet at parkway but on the other occasions I tried their burgers my taste buds were thoroughly treated and satisfied. On another note nothing beats reading a good book downstairs on your own while enjoying the sea breeze, if only I lived facing the sea.

So basically this is my off day and I'm off to work tomorrow. What a wasted day honestly! I'm fucking bored like now I've got nothing to do to kill time. I really want a playstation 3, These days I really don't feel that same excitement and joy of doing what I usually love. Everything just seems so bloody bleak. I should try to switch to a new gaming platform, period. Upgrading the computer would cost too much considering how old my system is.

I'm come to a conclusion that the most enjoyable things to do are things that aren't "generally rewarding" in the long run, Like playing Video Games! If it's generally rewarding in the long run then chances are you weren't having 100% fun. For once in a long time I wanna do things that do not pressure me. Stuff like Djing, writing music or playing soccer can be stressful and challenging on many levels but with video games... it's personal and ya just have fun, even if you can't get past certain stages of a game, there are always cheat codes and you don't feel so bad giving up on a game because it's just a fucking game. So yeah right now I'm looking for fun without any pressure or stress

& when heart felt empty.


on a side note. im trying to revise but cant get into mind.
working later at 7pm and it killing me with this weather.

sentosa last night at azzura, power max feeling and high thrown into water.
knn i got blue black on my leg.
wet like fuck and we went to henderson yong tau foo,
my family-love steamboat cum yong tua foo feels of course with all the people that i loved :)



CB IM TRYING TO UPLOAD ONE PHOTO only. also cannot.
ok bye i think im going to bed. wasting my time cant even get a single line into my mind.

what a night it was 2 weeks ago

Because you will love me again.

i'd do anything for you.

Last night , as she said she would, A died. Left my bb in J's room so I couldn't take any photos! Unexpectedly, J died as well. N decided last minute to come along, so of course N died. Which left C. Poor C. Really poor C, suffering alone till the wee hours in the morning watching over A, only to awakened rudely by a revived J. Other than that, Halloween was loads of fun! :D 

I'm watching the Foo Fighters Livefeed right now
YEAH!!!!!! crap they are doing their last track now :( "Aurora"

I have lost my will to be a loner.

I think I've come to terms with the fact that, once I am comfortably settled down, I become myself again.
Which = laughter, chattering and noise. So, I've started initiating conversation with my groupmates and the people around me.

But I guess it's kinda cause people are really very nice and motivated. We introduced ourselves in tutorial, and gave brief explanations on why we wanted to pursue Psychology. Interestingly, everyone had a story to tell, and it made me look at my classmates as really passionate and motivated individuals.

I also realised that Mass Comm is my guardian angel.

We were having a tutorial on research methods, and all I could see in my head was Suzanne Chan talking. Of course, I'm still clueless about most of the crap like nominal lah, ordinal lah, blahblahblah, but because I learnt it back in Ngee Ann Poly, it was slightly easier to comprehend.

THANK YOU DIPLOMA.

To end off this entry, here's something funny that happened over Facebook:


No mutual friends, no common network, nothing.... So...
(I attempted to respect his privacy lah, but who really cares.)


What the $&#@!(%*@^&@!)*^@)*^@&)@* right???

So...

Good riddance.

EDIT: If you're reading this, our maintenance is OVER! The problem was not found on our equipment, which means we'll have to work with our ISP to fix this small problem -- which also means another maintenance window in the future -- but at least we have eliminated our side.

Thank you everyone, and a special shout out to rekoil for giving me a great suggestion AND also the opportunity to feel like I've just called in to a local radio station.

Have a great day, night or afternoon wherever you may be.

Hi everyone, sorry for the late notice but I'm going to have to do some testing on 1 of our 4 internet circuits TONIGHT; Friday night or Saturday morning depending on which time zone you're in.

Most of us shouldn't notice any impact, though there may be some slowness or lag when I switch traffic on to our other ISP circuits and then another hit when I stop the tests. If a page won't load or times out, try hitting refresh 1 or 2 times and it should load then. If it doesn't work at all... trust me, I'll be typing really really really fast to try to undo whatever I just did. Hopefully you'll have some Halloween candy (if you're in the USA and celebrate that kind of thing) nearby to take away the bitterness of a small site outage. :(

Here's the handy-dandy Website That I Always Use to get a feel for when the maintenance will start in your area. Our site traffic historically dips on Friday afternoons until Saturday morning which is why we tend to pick this time for maintenance work.

( tech details )

status.livejournal.org will, of course be updated before and after the maintenance window. Or else marta will get mad at me. :D

OKAY PEOPLE IVE FINALLY GONE AHEAD AND STARTED MY OTHER BLOG!

www.kalasiris.typepad.com

so far i've only got one measly incoherent post, but bear with me and it'll be up and running soon.

i am SO PROUD OF MYSELF. :) :) :)

i'll be keeping this livejournal as a personal blog. theres wayy too many stories in this journal that i dont wanna throw away, or abandon. maybe i'll lock this blog next time, we'll see.

happy halloween!

Today was the last day of the semester! I can't believe 13 weeks of school have just flown by just like that. I also handed in my last assignment of the semester! WHAT A RELIEF! Now it's just studying for exams. I'm not that worried though, I mean, after all, isn't this what Singaporeans are best at? MUGGING. I think my 12 years of formal education have well prepared me for the next three weeks. 

The next three weeks will fly by and then I'll be home! I really can't wait to see my family, puppy and friends again. :) 

Last night I put on my brave face. ^_^ Okay, that's not my brave face, but yea. Had a good talk with a friend, well, I think in my intoxicated state I was yelling a lot at the person I was having a conversation with, but said person was very tolerant which was very nice. I guess you could say the talk made me feel better, or maybe not. I guess when you go through life, there will always be questions that will always be left unanswered. 

Tomorrow is Halloween party at Bruce. Costume idea is super ace. I really can't wait! Alice has said that she wants to drink until she vomits. I can't wait to hold her hair back and take pictures! :D Will also have to put on my brave face. ^_^ 

SMASHING SATURDAY!!! WOOHOO! 

Porks, thank you for this. Your tumblr is my secret inspiration. ^_^
