if the moon fell down tonight

every time i see your smile, it makes my heart beat fast
i know it's much too soon to tell, i'm hoping this will last
'cause i just always wanna' have you right here by my side
the future's near but never certain, at least stay here for just tonight

i must have done something right, to deserve you in my life
i must have done something right along the way

i just can't get you off my mind, and why would i even try
even when i close my eyes, i dream about you all the time

'cause i just always wanna' have you right here by my side
the future's near but never certain, at least stay here for just tonight

i must have done something right, to deserve you in my life
i must have done something right along the way

and even if the moon fell down tonight...
there'll be nothing to worry about at all because you make the whole world shine
as long as you're here everything will be alright


i must have done something right, to deserve you in my life
i must have done something right along the way
i must have done something right along the way

two to the good



from sndc last year - the siblings act


to this year's lorry supper (o:

irregret

exams are finally over; year 2 semester 2 has come to a close.
so you could more or less call me a year 3 student now sigh :|

it's slightly surreal to be hitting this milestone; you know, you never really think about being a senior year student during the earlier years.. and yet now, here we are, in the same situation as the year 3s whom we looked upon as old birds when we moved into sheares in 2010.

it's insane how next year when the freshies come in i'd be like a jason lau or a zhen lin or a liamzai - so uncool. even when i came into sheares i thought nakok and jon looked like pretty old peeps to me already haha.
oh well, i know next year will be a whole new ball-game... just like how year 2 was so different from year 1; i think we all mellowed down (or at least i did).

thinking back, C415 sure held some great memories, the crazy year 1 days at the haps short-wing.
and as much as we may miss those good times, in a way we should be happy that we are able to think back and reminisce about those things... because they really did happen once.

i will always remember and hold dear to my heart, that the things which we will regret most at the end of our lifetimes, aren't things that we did, but the things which we didn't do.

it may seem trivial, how i told myself i just had to leave the exam hall for GEM1536 at the 60-minute mark... not because i wanted to walk out of the hall in front of all the rows of people and smirk at them like a smart-aleck, but because i knew i would regret it for many years to come if i passed up on such an opportunity.
and now i can say that my university life is complete, because out of all the final exams i've taken in NUS, this one time, i was the first guy to walk out of the exam hall.

okay i think that the story i used above isn't that good an example, but you get my point... we should never regret.
never regret not doing something, because in time to come you will always rue the opportunity that you missed, and forever tell yourself "aiya wasted..."

therefore, here's "irregret", a new word coined to sum up what i've just said into three syllables. i guess you could call it a kind of attitude, or a philosophy... it could be an approach to life, or perhaps even a way of life.
the feeling of having not done something which you should have done, truly is horrible. and besides, you wouldn't want to risk passing up on something good would you? ;o)

holes inside

when all that you've tried, leaves nothing but holes inside
it seems like you're wired, to stay here held in time
'cause nothing seems to change, oh no
no nothing's gonna' change, at all
i can see it in your face, that hope has got away

if you hold tight, shadows will be lost in the light...
oh 'cause sometimes fate and your dreams will collide

falling in love at a coffeeshop

ahh no posts for march... i have been busy!

starting with killer midterm day on 1st march, presentations, a failed driving test, a good IPPT, essays due, data collections... so on and so forth.
but still glad to have been able to squeeze out time for enjoyable stuffs as well (albeit at the cost of trashing out blogging time) such as lorry supper, no77s, crazy macs breakfast studying session aka dsd part II, runs/strolls, buffet dinner at todai, every-tues-commemorations, and of course 290312 spent at saizeriya + clarke quay + promontory (o:

april proves to be another testing month lying ahead, but i shall take respite in the fact that within four weeks this will all be over.
let's roll out the optimist prime and pull through this.

i think that possibly maybe i'm falling for you
yes there's a chance that i've fallen quite hard over you
i've seen the paths that your eyes wander down, i wanna' come too
i think that possibly maybe i'm falling for you

no one understands me quite like you do
through all of the shadowy corners of me
i never knew, just what it was
about this old coffeeshop i love so much
all of the while i never knew

i think that possibly maybe i'm falling for you
yes there's a chance that i've fallen quite hard over you
i've seen the waters that make your eyes shine, now i'm shining too
because oh because, i've fallen quite hard over you

if i didn't know you, i'd rather not know
if i couldn't have you, i'd rather be alone

i never knew, just what it was
about this old coffeeshop i love so much
all of the while i never knew

all of the while, all of the while...
it was you
