Abortion: it returns to haunt you.

Happy Birthday - Flipside featuring Piper

[Verse 1]
Please accept my apologies, wonder what would have been
would you have been a little angel? or an angel of sin?
tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys?
or a little tough boy with beautiful brown eyes?
paid for the murder befor they had determined the sex
choosing our life over your life meant your death
and you never got a chance to even open your eyes
sometimes I wonder as a fetus if you fought for your life?
Would you have been a little genius, in love with math?
Would you have played in your school clothes and made me mad?
would you have been a little rapper like your poppa the piper?
would you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters?
I wonder about your skintone and shape of your nose
and the way you would have laughed and talked fast or slow
I think about it every year, so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would have been

[Chorus x 2]
Happy birthday
(What I thought was a dream)
make a wish
(was as real as it seemed)
I made a mistake

[Verse 2]
I got a million excuses, as to why you died
and other people got their own reasons for homicide
who's to say it would have worked
and who's to say it wouldn't have
I was young and struggling, but old enough to be a dad
the fear of being my father has never disappeared
I ponder it frequently while I'm sipping on my beer
my vision of a family was artificial and fake
so when it came time to create I made a mistake
now you got a little brother, maybe it's really you
maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused
maybe, every time that he smiles
it's you proudly knowing that your father is doing the right thing now
I never tell a woman what to do with her body
but if she don't love children then we can't party
I think about it every year so I picked up a pen
Happy birthday, I love you whoever you would have been

[Chorus x 2]
Happy birthday
(What I thought was a dream)
make a wish
(was as real as it seemed)

I made a mistake

[repeat x2]
from the heavens to the womb
to the heavens again
from the ending to the ending
never got to begin
maybe one day we can meet face to face
in a place without time and space
happy birthday

[Chorus x 2]
Happy birthday
(What I thought was a dream)
make a wish
(was as real as it seemed)

I made a mistake

Quiksilver Revolution Tour gave me tinnitus

Hmm hmmm where should I start...

My ears are ringing, no thanks to yesterday's ridiculously loud music. It didn't seem loud yesterday, but when I came home to the silence of my apartment, I realised...wow. The music was freaking loud. It's been more than 24 hours since the event, but the tinnitus is still there. It's starting to worry me. Not to mention that it's plain annoying to constantly hear something ringing in your head. Closing my ears only makes it louder. Am trying to mask the ringing with some white noise... The sound of the my stand fan helps. Hope this won't end up as a permanent thing...:(

1. MSK ends, Central Nervous System (CNS) begins. I have a feeling it's gonna be a whole lot tougher that MSK... The anatomy classes so far were...confusing. With our current workload, it's hard to find anytime to slot in revision sessions.

2. Last week, one of our anatomy teachers taught us the formation of the medulla oblongata using a long cream bun. He actually bought a cream bun from the downstairs Pak Cik's stall and folded it up in front of us. Gotta compliment him for his creativity. I'll never look at a cream bun the same way again..:P:P

3. Watched scary movie 4 with Andrew, Vee Han and Calvin. Total crap. But at least it was meant to be stupid funny, unlike another movie I know...

K. Now the main topic of this post.

Yesterday was one of the most fun days I had in a long, long time. Went to the Quiksilver Revolution Tour at Sunway Lagoon with Andrew, Vee Han and my two sisters. We were lucky enough to get tickets at the last minute. There were surf and skating demos going on but we didn't get to see those. We got to see Pop Shuvit perform instead. Apparently, the stage where Click Five was supposed to perform was situated at the wave pool (correct me if I'm wrong, cos in the end we never got to see Click Five perform. Left early for Calvin's house). So during the evening the pool was packed with people dancing to the music and just having a good time. We, on the other hand, didn't bring our swim suits... I was wearing cargo pants, while the guys were in shirts and jeans. Dancing on dry land didn't give as much kick, not to mention that it was weird (but at that point of time, we couldn't care less). The three of us were the only people on land dancing... Some guy even started taking videos of us. o_0 The people in the water were having so much fun, takkan we just stand there and watch them party right? So in the end, cannot tahan already, we just went into the water, jeans and all, and joined the fun! That was definitely the craziest thing we've done in a long while! Thank God Andrew and Vee Han managed to persuade me to get into the pool!

Actually, I feel bad for my sisters... They came later at night, and all they could do was sit by the pool area.. My youngest sister started feeling sick, and further more, they didn't even get to see any performances because we had to leave early (Yi Lynn was feeling feverish, the loud booming music didn't help either). *sigh* Hope they'll enjoy themselves more the next time around.

After dropping off my sisters and cleaning up, we proceeded to Calvin's place for a delicious BBQ dinner. The BBQ was fantastic! Maybe we were a little biased, having burnt off so much energy dancing and not eating anything for 8 hours... But nevertheless Cal and his family did a great job preparing the stuff. That chill out session was just what we needed to wrap up our day.:)

Tinnitus aside, I'm really glad that we got to spend some quality time together. All of us are now in different courses/batches, so it's hard to meet up. And in the coming hectic months, I doubt we'll be able to do this again anytime soon. Time really flies, it's been 7 years since I met Andrew and Vee Han, and more than 13 years since I met Calvin. I remember the times in secondary school, during prefects... so many countless memories. There were dark times too, but in the end, real friends learn to forgive and accept. We've come a long way, and I hope that our paths will never stray far. This goes for the whole group. Andrew, Vee Han, Calvin, Seng Kiat, Meng Lee, Ching Ee, Shiau Wei, Diyana, Christine... thanks for showing me the true meaning of friendship.




Pop Shuvit! I must say that our local music industry has improved greatly. :)

Some lovely limestone formations on display in the theme park.

Vee Han + Buddha.

A tribute to the two skankiest guy friends I'll ever have! :P

Cam whores.

My sisters and I.

Night view of Sunway Hotel and theme park.

And this... was cooked by the gang, for yours truly. Slightly burnt, but wonderfully delicious. After all, wet, half-starved beggars can't be choosers...

The 17th on the 17th

I Can't Stop Loving You - Ray Charles

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday
(Dreams of yesterday)

Those happy hours that we once knew
Tho' long ago, they still make me blue
They say that time heals a broken heart
But time has stood still since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I've made up my mind
To live in memories of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life in dreams of yesterday

(Those happy hours)
Those happy hours
(That we once knew)
That we once knew
(Tho' long ago)
Tho' long ago
(Still make me blue)
Still ma-a-a-ake me blue
(They say that time)
They say that time
(Heals a broken heart)
Heals a broken heart
(But time has stood still)
Time has stood still
(Since we've been apart)
Since we've been apart

(I can't stop loving you)
I said I made up my mind
To live in memory of the lonesome times
(I can't stop wanting you)
It's useless to say
So I'll just live my life of dreams of yesterday
(Of yesterday)

What can you do with RM11? Waste it on a crappy show?

I'm blogging at this ungodly hour because I can't sleep. I think I slept too much this afternoon. Arghh... MSK was OK... I made silly mistakes here and there, but most of the paper was 'do-able'. Just hope to pass.

Just came back from watching Ultraviolet with my friends and omigod, WHAT A WASTE OF RM11 THAT WAS! There was hardly any storyline, the action scenes were crap, and it seems that Milla Jovovich's only (hardly) cool power is that she can change colour... After she single-handedly steamrolls an entire goon squad, her hair and clothes will shimmer into another shade of the rainbow... I was like, "What was that for?" The whole movie goes on like that until she kills the big bad guy (who, by the way, dies in a rather pathetic manner). The bad guys either just stand there and get whacked or they end up shooting their own comrades. So dungu only. The whole movie was quite pointless. I have seen plenty of bad movies at the cinema, but this one take the cake. I would rather watch Aeon Flux than this, anytime. But at least I had fun hanging out with my friends. It's been ages since we just sat down and talked.

K la, I should at least try to get some sleep. Good night... or should I say, good morning...
