PS: I just got to blog about this MV cause I've been listening to it for weeks already. Dun really wanna blog about the going-on in my life. It's been a ride of ups-and-downs... =/
Lyrics: VERSE 1: Dropped off your keys last night, The front door still unpainted. You were polite like ice, I, once could met it. You took our pictures down, And you left them on the ground Its like you wiped all the memories, Of what we used to be... You and me, before it all crashed down.
CHORUS: And I know I never told you, That I love you, Now its all too late. And I don't know how to hold you, But I want to, I don't want to leave this way. All I know, Is broken.
VERSE 2: I heard your voice break, when you said, "well I hope you're happy". Nothin' to say, I'll stare, straight into my coffee. Then the conversation changed, How we talked around the blame, And the pain of losing. All of the good times lost, When it all crashed down.
CHORUS: And I know I never told you, That I love you, Now its all too late. And I don't know how to hold you, But I want to, I don't want to leave this way. All I know... Is broken.
BRIDGE: Well I'm here if you need me, I know you don't believe me. well I'm so sorry, For all the pain I've caused. Ho-oohhhhh...
CHORUS : And I know I never told you, That I love you, Now its all too late. And I don't know how to hold you, But I want to, I don't want to leave this way. All I know... Is broken.
Ho-oh...
Every now and then a new talent arises that you know will be around for a long time. Sezairi Sezali is that talent and this single is the defining moment when he uncovered the style of music that he would re-define.
His debut single, Broken, from his forthcoming new album is definitely a pop/rock song but there is a tinge of R&B all the way through which I’d like to see the Singapore Idol Season 3 winner experiment. The single sounds like a cross between Howie Day and Will Young; not your average Singapore Idol songs (if ya know what I mean). And I can understand why – the single is written by Jez Ashurst (who has co-written songs for Will Young, The Click Five and Pussycat Dolls) and Ben Montague.
That’s not to say its not good. I am a staunch supporter of good music so it doesn’t really matter who the composer is. While the sound is very commercial, Sezairi’s personality wins through along with his unique voice. Though delicate and simple in its verses, Sezairi doesn’t shy from showing us his good vocals in a somewhat soaring chorus. In fact, the vocals are so beautiful that one almost forgets to listen to the lyrics – lyrics which are slightly more complex and meaningful than the “shawty” culture we have grown accustomed to lately. A beautiful voice, and a beautiful song, but with none of the corn syrup that usually clogs up the charts.
Unlike many reality type singers, the 23-year-old actually possesses true talent, with a potentially long career in the local English music scene. Sezairi Sezali is more than just a TV talent show winner. He is here for the long haul.

I don't know you But I want you All the more for that Words fall through me And always fool me And I can't react And games that never amount To more than they're meant Will play themselves out
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice You've made it now
Falling slowly, eyes that know me And I can't go back Moods that take me and erase me And I'm painted black You have suffered enough And warred with yourself It's time that you won
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice You've made it now
Take this sinking boat and point it home We've still got time Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice You've made it now Falling slowly sing your melody I'll sing along
A hangover and an aching body is no joke. And I shouldn't exercise without waiting for my body to recover. My lower back was so painful... i nearly teared while exercising. argh...
I should have come up with a better blog entry after going MIA for 2 months... and to be honest, a lot happened during this period. At least for the time being, i'm focusing on my work and not let my mind wander too far off. With my kind of working hours... i dun think that it will be too difficult... *sigh*
Ah well... need to retire for the night le. My back is hurting me again... *sob*
Had the most fun today as compared to the past two weeks...
Hopping from one tile to another tile like a small kid - without a care of what the world thinks of me and more importantly, what I think of the world around me. Hee~
Got to know about this poem from 海派甜心 and thought it's worth sharing. It really has got a nice touch to it... i just hope that you will see it the way i see when i read that poem.
Urgh... i got so much things i want to get it off my chest. But everything is just buzzing around in my head. To be honest, this is kinda taxing on me mentally.
I will try to sort it all out before I start on another entry. But if you dun see it... It probably is a private entry. =|
"It is Christmas in the heart that puts Christmas in the air."
Christmas this year is awesome...maybe because I can really feel the "Christmasy" feelings in the air. But it was also mentally and physically taxing on me as well. But then again, it's like only once every year. So why not? haa...
Day before Xmas eve - Was in town after work to shop for Xmas presents. Got wx to accompany me as well. Bought Her Fearful Symmetry from Borders. Had always wanted to get the book after reading The Time Traveler's Wife... and since it was on discount, bought it straight away. Now must find the time to read it. I already have 9 books which my brother got for me on my desk! Have to clear them before I get any more new books. Haha. wx bought Super Freakanomics. Cant wait for him to finish so that i can lend from him. Haha... After which, head down to Isetan and got a remote control GTR for the gift exchange on christmas eve. hahaha... they didn't provide the wrapping service since it's only 12 bucks... so i already pity the person getting my gift on xmas eve. haa. And lastly, head down to Coach to look at the bags there. I wanted to get THE bag originally but am afraid it wouldn't be accepted. After going through all the products, finally found a wristlet that caught my eyes. I'm sure the wristlet's new owner will like it. hah.
Xmas eve - Was working in the afternoon but no one seems to be in the mood to work. lol... not surprising since the radio has been playing xmas songs the whole day. I swore that time seems to pass by very slowly loh... left my workplace as soon as the clock strikes home. Drove home and change before heading down to huat's place for xmas eve celebration. Xmas eve has been spent with my sec sch clique ever since secondary school. With the exception of last year, every christmas eve up till this year was spent at sw's place. This year, jf decided to take over the mantle and organise the xmas gathering. The food was amazing as usual. The turkey, bratwurst sausages, satay, bee hoon, pizzas etc were fantastic. So were the booze! lol~ We began chatting while eating and after making sure that everyone is bloated, the party began. PS3, Wii. Mahjong, Saboteur, Jenga.... and this last through the entire night! Haha... Oh ya, Edgar got my gift for the gift exchange while I received Yanhong's gift which is a chocolate scented soap! haha...
Xmas - Left jf's place at around 7. I was already exhausted before I left his place. Manage to take a 30 mins nap only. =( Reach home, took a shower, before driving off to All Saints Memorial Chapel. Spent around 40 mins there to offer my prayers to Alvin as well as Grandpa, Grandma and my Uncles. After the visit, rush home to pick up my family and head down to Fajar Road to celebrate Christmas with my relatives. Had another feast before playing cards with my uncles, aunties and cousins. ROFL! Left the place at about 6 for home before heading out again to Cinileisure to watch Sherlock Holmes with ricky, dennis and daniel. Even though i am dead beat already, Sherlock Holmes didn't disappoint me. Manage to stay awake the entire movie cos i was so engross in it. Saw Kailin with her sis and cousin when i was leaving Cinileisure. Turns out, she was watching Sherlock Holmes as well! haha... Chatted with her a bit before parting ways. Hit the beds like a rock after a hot shower at home.
Boxing Day - Despite only 4 hrs of slp under my belt, manage to crawl out of bed (albeit reluctantly) and head down to Bugis Junction. Ping Ling was in Singapore with her friends to spend Christmas in another country. So prior to her trip down to Singapore, decided to meet up on Boxing day at Bugis. Had lunch with her at Bugis NYDC. Even though it was our first time meeting up with each other, there wasn't any awkwardness between us during lunch. And before we knew it, we had already spent 2 hrs chatting. She needs to meet up with her friends so we parted ways at Bugis. After which, drove down to Orchard to meet up with wx, lin, veg and wake. Had our dinner at Ion's Fish and Co before walking around ion and taka cause wake need to find a duffle bag. Didn't get anything in the end cos he couldn't find one that he likes. Hence, we make our way to Cinileisure for avatar. Avatar IS AWESOME!!! The storyline and CGI is really worth the 10 bucks man! I am sooooooooo getting the blu-ray disc when it is out! Weeee~ Parted ways after the movie ended. Passed the coach wristlet to lin while i was sending her back. Am glad that she likes it. Like i said before in an entry a few months back:
sometimes, a smile is worth everything... =)
Day after Boxing Day - Headed down to Bugis to play L4D2 with lin, trenny, jin hong, punkist, kelen and edyna. Met up with lin and trenny first and we decided to go bugis village first because lin wanted to get some stuff. Since i'm already there, decided to look at the earrings shop which i frequent. Got myself 3 earrings from there. Finally.. after so many months of wearing the same earrings... i can finally have some variation! weee~ afterwards, met up with the rest of them and we head over to iluma to play L4D2. I must say... even though the pricing is pretty steep at $3.50, i must say i am really impress by how big the place is. Over 200 coms and 3 big screens to show the latest games. WOW! The coms are great too... large lcd screens, razor keyboard,razor mouse and razor earphones. No lagness in the game too. And the seats are really comfy! DOUBLE WOW! Will drop by again soon... heh.
And thus, the end of the crazy 5 days festive period. This entry should be enough to make up for not blogging for nearly 2 mths. *bleah* Right now, my body is crying out to me to slp... and i will not disobey that kind of order. Hahaha...
If I go, should I go to you. Place my heart close to you. Will you turn away from me. Please don't break my heart I pray. If you go, will you walk away Will you walk away from me But how can I just let you go. My heart just beats in fear.
Am I a fool for you when I long for you, when I watch you from afar But maybe that's because I'm so afraid that you'll go and leave me brokenhearted all alone Am I a fool for you when I can't say that I love you, I love you so much But maybe that's because I'm so afraid of all the pain that'll come. But I love you, I love you.
If you come, will you come to me. Come and take me in your arms But how should I respond to you My heart just beats in fear
Am I a fool for you when I long for you, when I watch you from afar But maybe that's because I'm so afraid that you'll go and leave me brokenhearted all alone Am I a fool for you when I can't say that I love you, I love you so much But maybe that's because I'm so afraid of all the pain that'll come. But I love you, I love you.
Am I a fool for you when I can't say that I love you, I love you so much But maybe that's because I'm so afraid of all the pain that'll come. But I love you, I love you.
What's with me? I've been listening to this song on playback over and over and over again? Or perhaps, it just take my mind off the pain the corneal ulcer is causing. =/
why am i doing all that i'm doing now? as if my troubles are not enough already... you two meant well... but can't you just understand what am i thinking? *sigh*
How much of this can I take any longer? I have been compromising every single time and it's still not enough? I can't always live with this family in mind.. i need to live my life too. And this time, the day i spend living my own is limited!
Sitting here thinking of you I'm trying so hard, finding it so hard Recalling your name
Just another face in the crowd, But you're shining so loud, shining out so loud I'm taking the blame
Faces live inside my hear It's you I choose to see instead
Cautions lies in the wind But it can be so wrong, I learnt it was so wrong, To stay in the game I'm trying to turn away I've been facing for so long, been facing too long It all feels the same, the same
Faces live inside my head It's you I choose to see instead And I guess that's what you are Come along, take me home
And it all feels like the only one Like the only time My eyes... Open up to the other side And the strings unwind, My eyes, To the other side The strings unwind, To let me go
Turning faces in my head Changing slowly into shapes Faces live inside my head It's you I choose to see instead And into a canvas sky Leaving only you behind
LONDON (AFP) - - A British man and his Spanish former sweetheart have finally married 16 years after they drifted apart, reunited by a love letter lost behind a fireplace for over a decade, reports said on Monday.
Steve Smith and Carmen Ruiz-Perez, both now 42, fell in love 17 years ago when she was a foreign exchange student in Brixham, southwest England, and got engaged after only a year together.
But their relationship ended after she moved France to run a shop in Paris.
A few years later, in a bid to rekindle their love, Smith sent a letter to her mother's home in Spain. It was placed on the mantelpiece, but slipped down behind the fireplace and was lost for over a decade.
The missing missive was only found when builders removed the fireplace during renovation work.
"When I got the letter I didn't phone Steve right away because I was so nervous," Ruiz-Perez told the Herald Express local newspaper.
"I nearly didn't phone him at all. I kept picking up the phone then putting it down again.
"But I knew I had to make the call."
When they were reunited, it was as if time had stood still, said Smith, a factory supervisor.
"When we met again it was like a film. We ran across the airport into each other's arms. We met up and fell in love all over again. Within 30 seconds of setting eyes on each other we were kissing.
"I'm just glad the letter did eventually end up where it was supposed to be," he said, after the couple married last Friday.
Urgh... i got so much things i want to get it off my chest. But everything is just buzzing around in my head. To be honest, this is kinda taxing on me mentally.
