Three Little Birds

Just one of those times.

Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
Still a little hard to say what's going on

Still a little bit of your ghost your witness
Still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
Still I can't say what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Still a little bit of your song in my ear
Still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

Stones taught me to fly
Love taught me to lie
Life taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball - Cannonball, Damien Rice

Am on my break but I have prepared to do work from home. I need to do some marking and finishing up a textbook. However, it's the 2nd day of my break and I havent got the slightest motivation to do any work. It's like ... I've had enough? I shouldnt be having this feeling, I know. I just need a little inspiration.


Need my nature fix desperately.

Fifi is going to Mount Kinabalu in June and..eurgh...envy. I know I am planning to hit New York in May but nothing..and I really mean nothing...gives me more satisfaction than scaling new heights and being surrounded by lush greenery and spectacular waters. Used to get my nature fix every year but this year, didnt quite happen.

Hope the September Tioman trip can work out with the Moonies. Otherwise it has to be Pulau Ubin, Sungei Buloh, Tree top walk, YCK swimming pool and the various local beaches. I need sweating kakis. It's boring to do all these alone.



When can I go back?

Nature yearning aside, yesterday was Hari Raya Haji and I did the usual visiting and haha, money giving :) The auntie sized me up and did the usual interrogation.

Auntie: Eh your sister is attached?
Ed: Yeah...
Auntie: You?
Ed: No...
Auntie: [came closer and whispered] Don't bluff. You can tell me.
Ed: [came even closer and whispered] Dont have, no bluff.


I cannot even imagine what's it going to be like at my brother's wedding next year. Can I just curl up and die?

Please let me curl up and die.

Okay I am exaggerating. Life will be okay. Like the great Bob Marley said, "Don't worry about a thing cause every little thing is gonna be alright."

All I need is sleep and rest to clear the clutter in my head.


Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singin': Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

Rise up this mornin'
Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Sayin' "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singin': Don't worry 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright
Singin': Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright


A thousand times goodnight, comforting soothsayers.


P/S: Meiling wants to watch Good Luck Chuck tomorrow. I'm not feeling it but I've given her my word.
