An all-time favourite song (heard it from my mp3 player this morning)
COLLIN RAYE Love Me
I read a note my grandma wrote back in nineteen twenty-three.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me.
he said,Boy, you might not understand,
but a long, long time ago,
Grandmas daddy didnt like me none,
but I loved your grandma so.
We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together.
Get married in the first town we came to, and live forever.
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet, instead
Of her, I found this letter, and this is what it said:
If you get there before I do, dont give up on me.
Ill meet you when my chores are through;
I dont know how long Ill be.
But Im not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
Ill be loving you. love, me.
I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away,
In the doorway of a church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
I know Id never seen him cry in all my fifteen years;
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
If you get there before I do, dont give up on me.
Ill meet you when my chores are through;
I dont know how long Ill be.
But Im not gonna let you down, darling wait and see.
And between now and then, till I see you again,
Ill be loving you. love, me.
Between now and then, till I see you again,
Ill be loving you. love, me.
Very meaningful song =\ Knew this song since primary school, coz my teacher likes it alot. (hes a mix = Portugese + German)

Been a long time since i've last blogged xD. It always occur to me that im not going to make it for this final exams. But I DID! LOL xD Yay!!! Cheers for everyone who are going to graduate. Well, Chinese New Year wasn't what i have expected; Have the steamboat dinner at cousins' house as usual (XD VERY SUMPTUOUS --> Abalone, Scallops, The very very nice stuff , etc.) Then when night arrived, my cousins was deciding between which movie to watch. Then the first thing that come to my mind was, "I hope i'd brought enough money." And then, coz its a festive season, they presumed that the seats are going to be taken up very soon, and they also cant decide on which to watch, xD coz our preferences are sooo way different. So.. We headed to PartyWorld!! Expensive though.. Each person are expected to pay like $35 each. BUT, xD my aunt( its my mom's sista xD) took out $500 and handed it to the maid and sponsored the fun xD (while the adults are enjoying playing mahjong in the house). MUAHAHAHA then i dont have to pay xD. However -.-, it took a longggggggggg time when my song comes. Like most of the singing was done by the 2 cousins -.-". Sometimes the cousin will say, " I will help to defend for you! You havent sung a single one yet." Then when my song came, my cousin (elder than me) whispered to my ear , "Hey, my sister like this song.. would you mind if.." Then i said, "Okay", and passed it to the cousin :( There's always this "gap" between this cousin's family and the rest. Coz, the cousins are kinda self-centered and very proud of what they are doing. However, we will still care for them and when their mom was in hospital my mom will cook and go and visit her and also for her children (incase they never eat). They are self-centered as in.. Like look at the PartyWorld example, though she said ><" she's going to get me to sing, but she took away my song! LOL xD And kinda "proud" coz they will always talk about, "wah.. this who hor.. did this and that" (like showing off like that) And the cousin who knows how to drive asked mybrother, "Where did you learn your driving ar, is it ang mo kio?! I think learn driving there is easy to pass." (-_-") Wtf?! I dont see any logic in this. My brother replied, "No. I learnt in Ubi" Its a very obvious attacking sentence you see. -- Hadnt been going out at all. Sad to say that im not being asked to go out :( So my mom is angry at me for this. "Why are you always at home sitting there?! Cant you have any activities outside?" I didnt dare to look for a job coz i wouldnt know if i will graduate. All the answers i wrote were ><" totally crappy and i really didnt expect myself to pass actually. So its was kinda miracle for me :D Everyone was like asking me, "So when will you graduate?" Then i would answer, "Erm it depends on the results." then i could see their expression like this --> (-_-) looks kinda disappointing though. I was like abit happy when a best friend ( of maybe 7 years ago?) suddenly talked to me on msn. And is asking about hows my life. Then asking when i graduate -.- I have this feeling that she's just trying to know when poly students are going to graduate, then they will fight for a place in the University. Sometimes i dont know why, xD i guess i always typed too fast even before i think if its appropriate to talk like that. "So, are you just going to ask me about school stuff?" Then she said no and said, "just asking if you're free" WAH then i was kinda happy again, then she added, "Want to be a volunteer???" -_- Im not that kind la. I always do chores at house. I do enjoy it sometimes but its coz its my home ma and im not in school =X so i will do chores ( daily chores : hang clothes, sweep floor, wash basin, mop floor sometimes, etc etc) When i was in secondary school, we have to do CIP (community work --> at least 2 times a year) Then my class were supposed to help out at the old folks home. It was fun but i dont really like the place. And they dont really clean up>> and wait for volunteers to come and clean i think. Then we have to clean rooms. Then my friend actually screamed suddenly and we found out that there's a dead lizard or something. Arrr Lizards!! -_- And the admin there, OMG tell you ar, really merciless to volunteers. I did so much stuff already then she asked me to photostat for her. Then she is instructing me in such a way that she's not appreciating the help, but rather she's "using" me. She told me that she wants me to finish the whole stack of booklet! If i didnt remember wrongly its about 300+ pages, AND have to be double sided pages (have to use bypass, one by one!) So when my teacher and the rest was going off, then i was still there trying photostat very fast, then i was only at page 200+ (Better than those photocopying shop. Im very efficient xD) Then my friends or the teacher asked me to stop the work and go home. LOL xD was so happy. I think the lady must be very angry ba. Coz she havent use me enough xD. So thats why i dont like volunteer work. Some of the old folks would scold and doesnt want any help. Coz they dont want to be thought as useless or helpless folks. So i dont really like to do volunteer work because some people wouldnt want the help (dont like people to touch your things, same as me xD) and -.- people like the admin who make use of volunteers. I dont think its very meaningful to photocopy the booklet for the admin. She can just do it by herself. And it has nothing got to do with community work. -- And what has infuriated me lately was the 1st brother. I dont understand why my house is like a wang gong(palace). Then i have to do stuff like the gong niu (palace maids but not the nong mo mo la) Then mom is the Dowager ba. The 1st brother emperor lo. -_- Everything he do is ok. Everything i do is wrong. 2nd Brother was sleeping in the room coz he wasnt at home. Then he came back from overseas from work, then he just slam everything, then my mom wants me to wake up my 2nd brother coz the 1st brother has come back. Need to qin an or not? or bow? or kneel??? Everything he has got is the best. Like the salmon, my mom wouldnt let anyone else eat. Then the other day he was throwing the towels on the floor! I folded them and placed them in cabinet but he took them out. I was sweeping the floor then. Then he just shouted, "WHERE IS MY TOWEL" then i said its all there and then he throw all of them out of cabinet. Then he asked again, then throw all of the clothes that were folded and stacked -_-" Also dont know why the mom dont stop him. Im always the one who clear the mess. Like if he throws something then my mom will ask me to pick me up :( or i will get hit. So i always get involved in trouble like these at home. Then my mom wanted him to pick the clothes up. Then he said he wont till all his clothes are place on his bed. Then my mom wanted to me to do it then i didnt know which clothes belongs to him either so i randomly picked. DIDNT WANT TO! But i dont want to get slapped. And cried while doing it :( Kinda feel like a dog sometimes. Doing things that you dont want to, but yet you cant do anything about it. Its very very not of me, to always pick up the mess. *yawns* so much rambling xD I should go and enjoy my yummy fishball noodles now ^^
