every beat of my heart

E V E R Y B E A T O F M Y H E A R T

So here we stand
Anchored in hope
Letting the rain wash away every fear
Stars in the sky
Twinkle and shine
I pray they won't disappear

'Cause I don't know where your journey goes
or how long it will take to unfold
But as long as we keep this moment shining in the dark
I will be watching over every beat of your heart

I wish that time
Could be replayed
I'd keep you here with me everyday
They say that love is letting go
I hope that you find your way

'cause I don't know
where your journey goes
or how long it will take to unfold
But as long as we keep this moment shining in the dark
I know you're watching over every beat of my heart

Fallen - Lauren Woods

meaningful song taken from the 'Pretty Woman' soundtrack...

I can't believe it,
you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how
I have fallen for you.


And I was not looking,
was content to remain.
And it's ironic
to be back in the game.


You are the one
who's led me to the sun.
How could I know
that I was lost without you...


And I want to tell you,
you control my brain..
And you should know
that you are life in my veins.


You are the one
who's led me to the sun.
How could I know that
I was lost without you...


I can't believe it,
you're a dream comin' true.
I can't believe how
I have fallen for you.


And I was not looking,
was content to remain.
And it's erotic
to be back in the game.

self-tests

i'm sitting at home, in front of my computer chatting on MSN and doing quizes.
guess i need to have a rough gauge of myself and how i deal with things.
so this is what i got...

1st test i did (which my fren sent me): 'Are you fit to commit?'


Lydia, you're fit to commit because you've met the right person
Sure, you've been in love before, but it looks like you've really found a match in this one. You've probably been around the block a few times, and you know exactly what's out there. Whether you've had a few heartbreaks or some dating disasters, you know a keeper when you find it.


2nd test i did: 'What kind of girlfriend are you?'

Lydia, you're a Steady Supporter

Stand by your man — that's just something you naturally do. Once you've committed to a relationship, you are a constant companion who enjoys the comfort and stability that comes from being a couple. Not quick to judge, accuse, or think the worst, you have a lot of trust (in him and in yourself), and you rarely worry about where he is or who he's with.For you, mutual respect is of utmost importance. You are comfortable and confident in your own skin, making you a great pillar of strength in all your relationships. Whether he's striving to climb a mountain or land a promotion, you have his back. Best part is, you know he's got yours too.



3rd test i did: 'What kind of sexy are you?'


Lydia, you're Sweet 'n' Sexy
You're not overt about your sexuality, but you're not purposely hiding it either — two traits that naturally draw people to you. You possess an understated zest for life, and a way of approaching the day with a can-do attitude that draws people to you. As a teenager, were you maybe a little on the quiet side? Even if you weren't, it's clear that underneath your occasionally understated statements, you have an undeniable sweetness that attracts people who see that special something burning from within.


it's gd to know the above info cos i really hope i am like this.

sooner den expected

started my 1st day or rather 1st few hrs of work today at Tanglin Club - same place as where shiqin works.
we both work in a so called "container office". haha
well, i must say the working environment is really queer. pretty dreary and mudane feel to it. not anything i wud b excited abt..
didnt think the back office of a country club cud b so "cheap" looking.
den again... most hotels back office are as mentioned. seen the one at conrad b4 too.
wad i find odd to understand is why make the exterior where members roam ard sooooo nice when the back office is like crap? why save that cost?
thank god i'll only be there for 3 weeks or so. jus a job experience la. nonetheless i'm thankful for the opportunity. thanks qin.
this opportunity came sooner den expected. i only thot of seriously searching for a temp jon tmr. looks like the job found me instead. i'll have to make alternate plans for my current plans (things i have to do)

i'm tired.
gonna shower and settle in to watch "in her shoes" vcd b4 i hit the sack.
goodnight all.

wad i learn

reading has taught me this today:

dying is only one thing to be sad over; living unhappily is something else.

the culture that we have does not make people feel good about themselves. We're teaching the wrong things. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it. Create your own. Most people can't do it.

smthg to share

here's a couple of quotes taken frm 'Tuesdays with Morrie' that i would like to share with u guys..
personally thot it is really inspiring...
think this applies to those who have low self esteem, those who stress themselves too much, those that think too highly of themselves, those who need constant external motivation, those who feel they are really pityful & sad, this applies to almost everyone!

Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do;
Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it;
Learn to forgive yourself and forgive others;
Don't assume it is too late to get involved.

well i must say all the statements above did impact me.
they were like calling out to me.
very meaningful indeed.
forgiveness is a virtue that everyone should seek to acheive.
bearing grudges will only burden urself and revenge is nvr sweet.
the person you will end up hurting is always urself so no pt.
best thing is to grow stronger frm every set back and move on.
looking back constantly only serves as memories and learning lessons and should nvr be regretful or "undoing" the past.
things will nvr be the same again.
only time will heal all wounds. slowly but surely. it is possible.
what doesnt kill u always makes u stronger.
a positive mind always is strong.
ur mind controls ur bodily functions and desires, it also controls ur emotions and actions.
SO, if that is the case, when one has a strong mind with a strong will, he/she can achieve all things as long as he/she puts his/her heart and mind into achieving it.
i believe strongly in the word 'PASSION'.
in the light of my faith, PASSION was used when Jesus was preparing to die for our sins.
in the light of today, PASSION is necessary in love (r'ship) life, in achieving job satisfaction, in chasing and realising one's dreams.
and till that day when everyone discovers his/her true dreams and talents, then only will he/she understand the true meaning of the word Passion.
sometimes, we may score well in English thru examinations such as O levels or A levels, however, one must realise that not everything can be learnt in school thru exams or teachers or lessons or textbooks. somethings jus need to be experienced firsthand. such experiences are priceless. they make or break you.
the best thing is live happily and peacefully with everyone. there is no need for anger or unhappiness.
communicate and share thots, ideas, feelings, emotions, experiences etc..
this way everyone can attempt to understand things that goes around.

oh i'm jus so glad i'm reading these 2 books, i seek calmness and solace in them.
that is why i'm sharing this with you.
things arent always what they seem and life is nvr a bed of roses.
but it's abt growing and learning frm such instances that makes us stronger individuals.
each and everyone of us are growing and learning every single day. that means each of us are not alone.
i know i am not alone.

my purchase

was in sch agn dis afternoon.. was late as usual.. got dere at 12pm and left at 5.30pm to attend a talk at inter-con.
my grp mate, as usual did an excellent job wif the grp's ppt slides. all 71 of dem wif animations n effects n pictures. personally i tink it is very professional.
the report has been edited numerous times. i pray we didnt overlook anything else. reading thru a 44 page report over n over agn is not funny. being typically me n doing it late at nite obviously didnt help. i made my fair share of mistakes by overlooking errors here n dere. how embarrassing really. but oh well. didnt do as gd a job as i was supposed to. *shrugs*

well the hightlight of the day was my purchase in sch!
was walking past Popular book store in my sch whilst heading to the food court to get lunch..
AND THEN I SAW!!!!!!
books!
so cindy and i decided to detour and head into the book store!
i looked ard hurriedly for the book dat i've been wanting to get!
ahhaaa!!! i see it! spot on!!!!! wooohooo!!!
the best part is there was a tag on it dat says 20% off!!!!
even more wooooohoooooo! hehe =P
dere's no holding back! faster buy!
so i purchased the lovely book 'Tuesdays with Morrie' at a low low price of $12.56
whilst Borders and Kino is selling it between $16 - $18.
oh i was so pleased with my buy! =) *beams*

also! i've finished reading 'the five people you meet in heaven' in less then 2 weeks! wooooohhhhoooooo!!! such an accomplishment. great book i must say. really inspirational & touching. dats y i cant wait to continue on with 'tuesdays with Morrie'. i've already started on it tho. hehe. try to read as much as i can whenever i can. also to destress and take my mind off work n such.

well tmr maybe a public holiday buy i'll probably be staying hm to complete my presentation speech, practice it and also to start n finish my individual reflection. sigh. i've procrastinated today. bad.

oh well...
good nite all!
