sense of belonging

at long last, i'm beginning to feel i belong somewhere, to someone, to life's happiness and to all the truths that never once existed in my life...until now..and it all happened when i least expected it. this joy can never be expressed with just a simple smile or a few simple words, for it's simply inadequate, simply insufficient, and simply too subtle...

u've come into my life, that i never wanna let u go...hold me close and never let me go, it's so we'll never be separated...and i will never let u go...no matter what may come our way.

Dido - Life For Rent

I haven't ever really found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
As there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent…

The Carpenters - Close to You

Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

[break]

On the day that you were born
The angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon-dust
In your hair of gold
And starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the girls in town
Follow you all around
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you
(Ah, aahh, aahh) Close to you

thoughts of a simple mind

often, i wonder how others think of me...being human, one can't help but be conscious of others' thoughts, and i'm no exception. deciphering the mind of a person is utterly impossible...as a psychiatrist or a psychologist, neither of which i'm not...so could someone, or anyone for that matter, enlighten this confused mind of his...

i've also come to terms with certain things in life recently - that i cannot have my way all of the time...and when realisation dawned upon me, i've a tendency to give up what i'm pursuing most of the time...and this i did in a situation like this...especially when i've did my best, but i guess my best simply wasn't good enough...

and though my physical presence is in perth, the back of my mind lies in singapore...not for the lifestyle, not even for the food, but for all my frens, with people like junyang, darald, joanne, shuping, cheryl and the list goes on...apologies to those whose names' i've left out inadvertently...but i hope everyone's doing fine, with their mid-semesters and project datelines hovering nowhere but in their mind...i pray for them to have peace at heart, coupled with dilligence and perseverance, to know that these will be all but over in a blink of an eye...

outlet for my thoughts

matters of the heart, questioning my mind...leaving me clueless to what everything means...i wonder if i should, i wonder if i could...and if i did, i wonder about the consequences, and if i didn't, i might regret it for a long period of time...but then again, i wonder about feelings...if it's positive, i will be elated with joy...but if it is negative, devastated would be how i feel...i am afraid, so very afraid, to embark on this journey which i'm unfamiliar with...time may reveal the conditions of this journey...but i'm afraid, so very afraid, that it will be too late to turn back the clock....my fragile, oh so very fragile heart might be broken yet again...deciphering the mind of a person, is utterly impossible...as a psychiatrist or a psychologist, neither of which i'm not...the best i may not be...but striving for the best i will do...the best i might not have, but giving of my best i will do...oh please, tell me what i should do...for at a loss is what i'm facing...
