I'm a Friday fly girl


Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind
I can read your mind - Eye In The Sky, Alan Parsons Project




Mysteries of life I seek
Blinding darkness I creep
Inspiring light I walk
Rejuvenating hope I dream
Memorable traces I leave

At the ripe old age of 25, I am here. My life would have been so much more meaningful if I had taken other chances. It could have been much worse. Did I miss an opportunity somewhere?

There are so many things I want to do and yet, there are so many things I cannot. There are so many mountains I want to climb and there are so many seas I want to swim across but I have to wait. Wait for the right time and the right place and maybe, the right companion.

Do you have a vision or a picture that can give you an instant gratification?

I have.

I imagine myself a wild child of the forest. There’s a swing made up of forest vines hanging off a huge raintree, which is on top of a cliff in a lush jungle. Ignoring if it can bear my weight (well, it’s a perfect vision after all), I’ll swing carefree-ly, a la Nell. wearing a flowy white dress and with my feet bare. The swing will rock me over the cliff and I’ll lay back and let my long hair fly into the wind. I’ll look down and see a magnificent waterfall, cascading its sweetness into a cool turquoise pool. I’ll swing…and I’ll swing until I am ready to take that leap of faith into the pool.

That, my friends, is my perfect vision.




You know at the end of every yoga class, we have to lie down and think of relaxing thoughts. I ALWAYS have that vision in my mind. I will lie peacefully with a smile on my face until the part where I jump into the pool. Then suddenly my body will break out into a mini spasm. Lucky the swinging takes a long time and even if I do convulse, thank God, Deepak has never seen it.

Oh well.

There's dinner with Wee Wee tonight. Chin Yin and Wai Keong are going to be there too. I still dont know where we are going. Somewhere really cheap, please!

Later.
