Now Listening on Repeat: Angel - Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There’s always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it’s hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
I’ll find some peace tonight

been seeking for peace elusive
but she is not forthcoming
stresses are again building
when will the dream begin
weightless and empty and seeping memory
burdens still remain
waiting for that second chance
no, no break is okay

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

if only my angel is around
rescue from darkest reverie
endlessness is what to feel
32 weeks, infinity

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There’s vultures and thieves at your back
And the storm keeps on twisting
You keep on building the lie
That you make up for all that you lack
It don’t make no difference
Escaping one last time
It’s easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
This glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

lies a fragile construction
fabrication the key
25 doubles test my limits
5 is incomplete
it's easy to believe in madness
not easy, escape
believe me in madness
brings me to my knees

In the arms of an angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort there
You’re in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Calliope I seek.

Come to me.


Please.

change

uni life has simply brought about too many changes, drastic changes to my life. perhaps, times have changed, people move on...

remember how i used to be the girl who tries hard not to finish my work too late, so that i can get a proper sleep of 7 hours or so... so that i wun go to sch the next day all shacked out, tired, and unfocussed.

remember how i used to be the girl who tries to be actively involved in CCAs, house track... enjoy myself, while experiencing to the max what my sec sch and jc had to offer.

remember how i made it a point to keep fit, take a refereshing run at least once a week. especially blessed to have found a great running buddy in jc, then run and chat along... wonderful times.

taking a breather off school work this week... having a lull before the finals starting looming closer. since orgo midterm on the 11th, hafn't been concentrating on my work... perhaps cos there's finally no major things due, but perhaps it's just the time when u just feel that the semester has gone on for too long... just doing a bit of work everyday as needed, and wasting plenty of time away.

had a sudden urge to run again, esp with the beautiful sunny weather now that spring/ summer is here. and seriously found out how unfit i am. haven really been exercising at all since i came to duke. once or twice, on the spur of the moment. but that's all. oh dear.

and was once very anti-coffee drinking, with all the caffeine in it. no good, no good. but freshman was just so bad that picked up the habit. dun drink a lot, but definitely allow for coffee already. hmmm... the taste of mocha is indeed pretty good, i must admit.

sleep is getting less priority too... oops. gotten used to wasting more time, then working that little bit later... heh. well, at least work still gets done.

and love. this additional presence of someone in my life. although a pain sometimes (grinz), but to have someone to love, to be loved... certainly amaze myself sometimes the things i want to do, for love, for him, for us...

life's a learning journey, perhaps we never know what's the best way to live it, the right way to live it. but one thing's for sure, i'll treasure it.

Post #100

there comes a stage where there is just nothing else to say.
but for complaints, which we've all heard before.

life just drones on and on. never ending.
despite changes in environment, or classes, or other activities,
life still just drones on and on.

many things happened since then and now.
fun, sad, pressure, relaxation, or just plain satisfaction.
quite a few pictures as well.

but i need some breathing space.
to hear the words whispered by the wind.
perhaps then ill let you peek into my life.

till then.

darling's back to SD

haiz. spring breaks are too short. din spend enough time at his place. and it was such a hectic week this week. fun, exciting, but yes, tiring... =P fm's spring break is almost over... darling in transit at this moment, going back to SD to start his spring quarter. time simply flies...

cant believe i only have ONE month of school left! then summer... and i'll be a senior! argh! considering that duke does not offer many exciting, crazy stuff to do off campus, but it's still pretty scary to think that undergrad life is almost over... still have many interesting classes i wanna take, places i wanna explore (i need a car!!). just simply to enjoy undergrad life before the reality of work and grad school looms closer. i dun wanna grow up!! heh.

cant wait for summer thou, chill out a little, and meet darling back in SG. missing ya already, dear... -muack- lotsa exciting times ahead... yay!

meanwhile thou, back to reality. din get any work done this week. oops. these subsequent weekends are gonna be busybusybusy. spring sem is ending!
