My current favourite song, Collide by Howie Day....

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to ryhme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

If shame had a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this
Well here we go now one more time

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won’t stop
Till I step down from this for good

I never thought I’d end up here
I never thought I’d be standing where I am
I guess I kind of thought it would be easier than this
I guess I was wrong now one more time

Cause I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I could get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to tame this mind
You better believe that I tried to beat this,

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won’t stop
Till I step down from this

Sick cycle carousel, this is a sick cycle, yeah
Sick cycle carousel
This is a sick cycle yeah

So when will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won’t stop
Till I step down from this for good
When will this end
It goes on and on
Over and over and over again
Keep spinning around I know that it won’t stop
Till I step down from this for good

I haven't been updating for a while. Been busying myself with algebra and geometry. Totally enjoying them, though. Glad that my profs are happy with my progress. Whenever I'm not busy, I can always find Stephie to hang out with or bug the freshies go makan or something. Speaking of Stephie, I used to have this prejudice back in Malaysia that Americans are generally not as family oriented as us in Malaysia. But hanging out with Steph's family makes me realize how close knit American families can be. I mean I was pleasantly surprised at how close her family members are. They go to concerts and watch the ball game together all the time. I don't think I've seen many Malaysian families do that. And her mom always do things that makes us laugh, which reminds me of my own mom.

Anyways, I can't wait to go back Malaysia!! First of all, I miss my family a lot. I have a lot of catching up to do with them, especially my dad. And I just MISS my adorable Putri Nadirah. Then there are my good friends that I really want to hang out with especially Besfren and Zai-Anne ( hope you're still there when I get back). Lately I've been in contact with many of my long lost friends in primary and secondary school who are quickly getting close to me nowadays. Can't wait to meet up with them and catch up on stuff. I dunno why, but suddenly I feel like a totally different person. Before this I'm quite an introvert and bad at socializing. But lately just feel like making lots of friends. And I'm so happy that I'm having more friends by the day :)

I LOVE THIS SONG... I've heard 4 versions of it: by She Moves, LMNT, Gil and Tim McGraw/Faith Hill. I've recently heard the version by Tim and Faith and just fell in love with it again. The first version I heard was by She Moves and that is still the most original for me. But Tim/Faith's version is my fav thus far.

IT'S YOUR LOVE

Dancin' in the dark middle of the night
Takin' your heart and holdin' it tight
Emotional touch touchin' my skin
And asking you to do what you've been doin' all over again

Oh it's a beautiful thing don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know what it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
Oh it's your love

Better than I was, more than I am
And all of this happened by taking your hand
And who I am now is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together,
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free

Oh it's a beautiful thing,
Don't think I can keep it all in
If you asked me why I've changed,
All I gotta do is say your sweet name

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under
Oh, it's your love

Baby, Oh oh, oh,

Oh it's a beautiful thing,
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you konw what it is that won't let me go

It's your love
It just does something to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell I'm under,
Oh it's your love
It's your love, it's your love, it's your love...

THE LONG GOODBYE

I know they say if you love somebody
You should set them free (so they say)
But it sure is hard to do
Yeah, it sure is hard to do
And I know they say if they don’t come back again
Then it’s meant to be ( so they say)
But those words ain't pulling me through
Cos I’m still in love with you
I spend each day here waiting for a miracle
But it’s just you and me going through the mill
(climbin’ up a hill)

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can’t make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard I try
You’re gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it’s over.. let’s face it
All that’s happening here is a long goodbye

Sometimes I ask my heart did we really
Give our love a chance ( just one more chance)
And I know without a doubt
That you turned me inside out
And if we walked away
Would make more sense ( only self defense)
But it tears me up inside
Just to think we still could try
How long must we keep riding on a carousel
Going round and round and never getting anywhere?
(on a wing and prayer)

This is the long goodbye
Somebody tell me why
Two lovers in love can’t make it
Just what kind of love keeps breaking a heart?
No matter how hard we try
You’re gonna make me cry
Come on, baby, it’s over.. let’s face it
All that’s happening here is the long...long goodbye

Are you ever coming back again (x3)
I guess I’m never coming back again
