storm contained, sunshine boxed, freedom shackled.

All my bags are packed I'm ready to go
I'm standin' here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breakin' it's early morn
The taxi's waitin' he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
I tell you now, they don't mean a thing
Every place I go, I'll think of you
Every song I sing, I'll sing for you
When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you
One more time let me kiss you
Close your eyes I'll be on my way
Dream about the days to come
When I won't have to leave alone
About the times, I won't have to say

So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh baby, I hate to go

Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go...

Lyrics to Bali Ha'i - from South Pacific musical

Bloody Mary:
Most people live on a lonely island,
Lost in the middle of a foggy sea.
Most people long for another island,
One where they know they will like to be.

Bali Ha'i may call you,
Any night, any day,
In your heart, you'll hear it call you:
"Come away...Come away."

Bali Ha'i will whisper
In the wind of the sea:
"Here am I, your special island!
Come to me, come to me!"

Your own special hopes,
Your own special dreams,
Bloom on the hillside
And shine in the streams.
If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea.
"Here am I your special island
Come to me, Come to me."

Bali Ha'i,
Bali Ha'i,
Bali Ha'i!

Someday you'll see me floatin' in the sunshine,
My head stickin' out from a low fluin' cloud,
You'll hear me call you,
Singin' through the sunshine,
Sweet and clear as can be:
"Come to me, here am I, come to me."
If you try, you'll find me
Where the sky meets the sea.
"Here am I your special island
Come to me, Come to me."

Bali Ha'i,
Bali Ha'i,
Bali Ha'i!


this is how much i'm looking forward to going for my annual holiday.... lolz.....

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.
I love thee to the level of every day's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right.
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.

christmas is over....

it came quietly and left quietly.... i had celebrated the birth of Christ mainly in bed.... get your head out of the gutter please, i was alone in bed.... with my trusty laptop... just surfing the net and watching movies out of it... sleeping when i feel sleepy and only getting up to get a drink of water or take a trip to the loo....

christmas for the past few years were always quiet... i chose to it that way...

sounds depressive doesnt it... hehehe.... but in my own little way, i was having fun....

after dinner with good friends on the eve of christmas, i went home and that was it... raven came over after work and he spent the night, only to get up a couple of hours later to go to work... the poor boy, i feel so bad for him to have to work on christmas day... lolz....

and yeah, for the rest of christmas day i was alone....

hehehe.... it was a rare occasion where i have the day purely to myself doing nothing at all.... and i didnt even feel hungry.... talk about dieting....

but i digress....

yup, christmas came quietly and left quietly, just the way i like it.... when i'm feeling anti social, that is.... lolz... but this year, i have good friends back from across the seas so i had wanted to spend a little time with them... but they have families.... so yeah, hehehe....

it was quiet again....

today is boxing day.... i just might dust off the lazy bugs and go out... even if its by myself.... to see wuts happenned to the city in the aftermath of all that partying....

hehehe.....

and i'll take all my new christmas presents out for a spin.... prolly.... gorgeous strappy wedges from jaime, a cute pink tee from alicia and a lomo camera from raven.... plus all the well wishes from all my friends.....

thanks guys.... i love you all.....

now i'm gonna go and think about my new years resolution..... *muacks*

There I've Said It Again

I love you, there's nothing to hide,
It's better than burning inside,
I love you, no use to pretend
There I've said it again

I've said it, what more can I say,
Believe me, there's no other way,
I love you, I will to the end,
There I've said it again.

I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you,
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.

Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There I've said it again.
I try to drum up,
A phrase that will sum up,
All that I feel for you,
But what good are phrases,
The thought that amazes,
Is that you love me,
And it's heavenly.

Forgive me for wanting you so,
But one thing I want you to know,
I've loved you since heaven knows when,
There I've said it again.
