Bic Runga - Honest Goodbyes

Sink with the tide
Rescue me if you like
I'll be leaving it all up to you
Think how we tried
It's okay to be lied to
As long as it's only by you

People say to me it's best that we've parted
'Cause you know I'm better alone
Don't explain to me how you're so broken hearted
I'm too busy mending my own

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies

Late ever night the colours fade from the sky
And the music is gone from the moon
Standing in line for what used to be mine
What use is the rhyme with no tune

People say to me it's best that we've parted
And nothing is carved out in stone
It's such a shame how we're back where we started
It's late now and time that we go

Ending each night with such honest goodbyes
Such honest goodbyes for the last time
Honest goodbyes only work once or twice
They work once or twice
Then the rest must be lies
The rest must be lies

The alarm clock has rung.

Noon-time workout at Bedok Reservoir with Brian and Sandra. Man. My legs now feel like jelly, though we ran just 3.5 km and walked the remaining 0.8.
Running at 12 noon is no joke. The sun's scorching and the heat's sweltering.

Study cum chilling out session with Brian, Kerrie, Nat and Shan at Starbucks Siglap. Check out some funky pictures.
Didn't join them for dinner at Lagoon (hope I got the name right), but I'm definitely joining them the next time.
Dinner with my family at Zion - I'm stuffed.

I'm tricking my brain into exhaustion.

I'm Fine Baby, How Are You?

I'm Fine Baby, How Are You?

I spent the day on an island in the sun
And I barely got any studying done.
I'm not feeling guilty about having fun
At least, not enough to wanna shoot myself with a gun.

How's that for rhyming? Lol.

I'm sleepy, and sunburnt. What a comfortable combi - for the holidays, not for study week.
Will be hitting the gym tomorrow morning, just right to work off my after dinner Magnum ice-cream.
Nostalgic though, I used to have that so often as a kid.

Meeting Brian tomorrow for revision.
After which, it'll be dinner at Zion Hawker Centre.

Man, it's like foodie week for me.

Thank you for the phone call.
The easy-going banter made me feel like things are finally alright. :)

Emotional Independence

Emotional Independence

Emotional dependence is a scary thing
Your thoughts and emotions-
These which once belonged to you
Are now ruled by another

I don't wanna go through that again.
Michael Buble - Home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris or Rome
But I wanna go home


May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
I miss you, you know

And I've been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby, how are you?
I would send them but I know
That it's just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky I know
But I wanna go home
I got to go home

Let me go home

I'm just too far from where you
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I'm living
Someone else's life

It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why
You could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In either Paris or Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I'm surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
I miss you , you know

Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby I'm done
I gotta go home

Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home

The lyrics may be simple, but the song fills my heart with this bittersweet ache. Kinda poignant, I like.

My limbs are aching, after my faster-than-usual session on the treadmill. Looking forward to tomorrow morning's session with Sandra, Geraldine, and if he can wake up, Brian.

Spent the day revising Accounts with Cat and Brian. We initially parked ourselves at Jupiter Cafe, but the heat got to us, and we spent the rest of the afternoon over at the Sports Club club-room, courtesy of Cat. Kinda quiet a day, with a few laughs here and there. :)

Scroll down for pictures!

The only vaguely interesting thing that happened today? I swallowed a fishbone during dinner. And it's pretty tiny, I think. It felt like it, haha.

Time for a shower. My face feels like the inside of a well-greased kuali.

Our morning workout in the gym. Need evidence on how hard we worked ourselves? Look at the beads of perspiration on my forehead.
