Yes. Johnny Got His Gun. THE MOVIE. Starring Benjamin Mckenzie (Ryan Atwood in The OC) as the lead, Joe Bonham. I'm reading the book now, I'm like halfway through and so far, it just depicts how cruel war is and how it can destroy lives. This book I swear, is the epitomy of an anti-war novel. Highly recommended so that you see the other side of war. The one where it's ab out individual suffering. It's so painful and gruesome, but it's brutally honest.



Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Take it on the run, on the run, on the run
Hear them calling you and me
Every Son of Liberty
Hurry right away, no delay, go today
Make your Daddy glad to have had such a lad
Tell your sweetheart not to pine,
To be proud her boy's in line

Johnny, get your gun, get your gun, get your gun
Johnny, show the "Hun"you're a son-of-a-gun
Hoist the flag and let her fly
Yankee Doodle do or die
Pack your little kit, show your grit, do your bit
Yankee to the ranks from the towns and the tanks
Make your Mother proud of you
And the old red-white-and-blue

Over there, over there,
Send the word, send the word over there
That the Yanks are coming, the Yanks are coming
The drum's rum-tumming everywhere
So prepare, say a prayer,
Send the word, send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over
And we won't come back till it's over, over there

Fight Quest's TOMORROW.
YEAH (:

My mum's talking about her old clothes coming back into fashion and she said she still has them and she's gonna give 'em to me! HAH. (:

Anyway, in case you're wondering, Daughtry rocked it out BIG last night! It was fan-fucking-tastic! Too bad I didn't really have a good camera. Next time, I'm bringing my dad to help with the pictures. Given his height and his camera, it should be GREAT. But you know what? The local bands rocked it too! EIC was great! Loved their song Fiona as well as their covers. I had a blast screaming Elevation! (:

YEAH to more concerts! HELL YEAH

Jason Mraz Live. AMAZING. His voice is as good as it gets.



it's utterly amazing how he can sing so fast and yet don't jumble up his lyrics. Very much his forte I guess.



It's making me wanna go to singfest badly!

I've been singing You and I Both in school ever since Cheryl requested it and yesterday, I sang it while queue-ing up to buy chicken rice in the canteen and two juniors in front of me turned back to see who was singing. HAH. And then weifang said "Wah, you sing not bad leh!" YAY. (: I think that song is like my new favourite song to sing from now on. My previous one was Superman by five for fighting. (:

The Traffic Road Jam party to tomorrow! Daughtry BABEH. I heard he's gonna sing 3 new songs! Can't wait. I hope they have a meet and greet thing going on! I wanna shake his hand and get his autograph, along with the whole band of course! Woots, can't wait! (:


Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me?
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh and taking your advice and I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing

Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only read up of the love
Oh the love that I love

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages, for words
More words then I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Oh love,love, you and I, you and I,
Not so little you and I anymore

And with this silence
Brings a moral story
More importantly evolving
Is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see now
Well then I'm almost finally out of, finally, out of, finally, well
I'm almost finally, finally, well I am free,
Oh I'm free

And it's okay if you had go away
Oh just remember the telephones well they workin' in both ways
But if I never, ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cuz you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of, finally out of
Finally de dedededede, well
I'm almost finally out of words

OH MY EFFING GAWD.
I JUST GOT A MESSAGE FROM MEDIACORP TELLING ME THAT I JUST WON TIX TO THE SINGTEL SONY ERICSSON TRAFFIC ROAD JAM PARTY.
DAUGHTRY WILL BE PERFORMING!!!!!!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Now, all that's left to make everything perfect is to win Singfest tix!
I hope I'm super duper lucky! (:

Oh God, forgive me for I have sinned.

I ate:
-one and a half s'mores (homemade, by ME)
-three mouthfuls of volcano brownie ice cream
-5 tiger biscuits

And yet I:
-haven't exercised in over a month, close to two
-actually lost weight (the last time I weighed in)

Gotta start going jogging and swimming (cardio to strengthen the heart and improve stamina) and do weight trainings (to get rid of the flabs and to get nice biceps). Plus sit-ups for that nice flat tummy. I seriously do not aim for packs cause that's too wicked for girls to have!

I am waiting for friday to come because I wanna explore forever 21 and pull and bear to search for nice hats and accessories etc. (:

Anyways, just watched a bit of Don't Forget The Lyrics and I so wanna join! It'll be so fun and even if I win like $10, 000, I'd be effing happy! And c'mon! I knew that American Pie lyrics that the guy needed for the $200, 000 song! I WANNA JOIN!


When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on

I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy girl I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier...
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Today's entry is pretty indulgent so if you don't wanna hear anymore about me swooning, don't read it. Don't say I didn't warn you!



10 things I love about you:

1) Your smile. I love that usually, you look quite tough and all but once you break into a smile, GAWD, you look soooo sincere and you just melt my heart! Plus your teeth are sooooo perfect! (:

2) Your treshold of pain. It's so cool that you're able to smile after taking such a crazy beating! Plus you don't complain and you never back down!

3) You're so humble and respectful to the people you meet and so willing to learn from anyone who's willing to teach you something!

4) You've seen the other side of the spectrum and you know what suffering looks like and so you're so grateful for the simple things in life like hot water or having a full stomach. You know what's important in life, in other words.

5) Your eyes! Your greeeeeen eyes. Which I can get lost in! Blue eyes are so over-rated!

6) Your hair style! It was what I wanted to do to my fringe! LOL. And you did it to your's! It's so sad you're balding. Or at least your hair is really thin. But I'll still love you! (:

7) You love music. That's VERY important to me! The Clash are pretty okay! HAH. One of their songs made me smile today! (:

8) Your tattoo! Your huge-ass tattoo spawned across your chest! It has my favourite affliction-wings too! LOL. And what the tattoo says, "thicker than water", which clearly refers to blood, it really is isn't it? Especially since you've seen enough bloodshed in your lifetime!

9) You volunteer in your free time and give back to society! Which is so sweet! (:

10) You're quite an artistic person, drawing, tattooing, painting. That's just so appealing!

Today when the lecture theatre was freezing and I was doing my work and copying down notes, part of me was wishing you were sitting next to me, holding my hand and keeping me warm.

I was seriously bored! LOL. And I did not deliberately put doug in at number 4 okay! (you'll get it when you read q10!). It was fate! (:

Anyways, went to borders yesterday to meet Sharon. She wanted to get Prep amongside many other books and ended up getting a gold-colour-covered book! Then we walked to Kino to buy Brandon his "Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig" book which, by the way, I took really long finding! And I got Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo! I asked Sharon to read the back and tell me whether to get it or not and she read the war discription and she said "sounds like you. get it"! HAH. So I did. (: I also got Konk by The Kooks from CD Rama early in the afternoon after school! YAY. It's pretty good! Thanks Sharon for the trip yesterday and for Hellboy on Wednesday! (:


if i told you things i did before
told you how i used to be
would you go along with someone like me?
if you knew my story word for word
had all of my history
would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' bout the young style
and we don't care about the old folks
talkin' 'bout the old style too
and we don't care about our own folks
talkin' 'bout our own stuff
all we care about is talking
talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far
people tend to disappear
no one would surprise me unless you do
i can tell there's something goin' on

hours seem to disappear
everyone is leaving i'm still with you
it doesn't matter what we do
where we are going to
we can stick around and see this night through

Thank you for giving me everything that I've got this time round. I know you know I worked hard so gyea. I know the drill, you'll help me if I help myself. And I will continue to help myself cause I REALLY REALLY want this, I WANT TO GET FREAGIN' STRAIGHT As FOR MY EXAMS. So please, help me to be strong and hardworking and mentally fit for the information overload.

Hellboy 2 was good! And best of all, it was only $6 cuz Cathay has this weekday student promo. YAY. (: Plus I FINALLY got The Kooks' first album! Gramaphone was elling it at $16.95 so I grabbed it. Too bad they ran out of the 2cd special Konk if not, I would have gotten their new cd too!

Anyways, new book that I want to read: Johnny Got His Guns by Dalton Trumbo. I hope it won't be as chim as The Great Gatsby cause I could not make any sense of that book. I'm onto Dedication now. Say a hundred and fifty pages into it? Jake is such a royal asshole. And somehow somehow, Laura and Kate reminds me of Sharon and I. As in the kinds of stupid things we do (like discuss crushes and planning crazy should things that may probably never ever happen to us!).

Tomorrow marks the end of the school week, which marks the beginning of Sex and the City mini marathon. It's something I try to do every friday cuz I really need to catch up and Sharon keep talking about this dry spell thing. ARGH.


All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true...I was made for you

I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do...I was made for you

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you...

Staying home alone on a friday
Flat on the floor looking back
On old love
Or lack thereof
After all the crushes are faded
And all my wishful thinking was wrong
I'm jaded
I hate it

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking for
I'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I could have met you in a sandbox
I could have passed you on the sidewalk
Could I have missed my chance
And watched you walk away?

I'm tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
So tired of being alone
So hurry up and get here
You'll be so good
You'll be so good for me

It hurts so much to want something so bad but you just can't have it. And it's not like I didn't work hard enough or I gave up cause if that were the case, I can beat myself up for it. But it's because I cannot do it. My body doesn't have the capacity to do it and it sucks so much cause I want to push myself but I just can't. And I feel crappy.

Today has been seriously crappy as you can tell. First GP results sucked like shit. And I know I passed and I shouldn't be complaining when there's people failing but that isn't my standard and I know I'm capable of so much more. I'm not bragging but my results this time is 10 marks below what I usually get so I feel very crappy,thank you. And then it was PE. Jesus, I just can't bear to talk about it.

And I chanced upon a song that helped me through today and I've listened to it 3 times today so I hope you guys like it too. (:


When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Dinner with dad and brando on friday night was fun cause we get to eat nice restaurant food as compared to lunch's KFC. Not that KFC is bad cuz it's probably my favourite fast food joint. But anyways, we went to Milenia Walk for Outback then we popped by sembawang and they didn't have the Kooks either. Goodyness! So nope, in case you're wondering, I still haven't gotten my hands on the Kooks' albums yet. But I WILL. Mark my words! So we went to Harris and suddenly, brandon pops in front of me and he tells me that the sequel to the seven ancient wonders is out and of course, I bought it! It's called the six sacred stones. Read the intro alone and I want to read it so bad but I'm keeping it for later after I get through the three books I'm in the middle of. Which are According to the Rolling Stones, The Great Gatsby and Dedication. So gyea. Saving the best for last! (:

I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on the computer (laptop, same old same old) watching Across The Universe. Jim can really sing. And the entire cast is really good vocally. It was a bit weird to see Evan Rachael Wood so clean cut though. She's not really that clean cut but it is squeeky clean compared to the whole marilyn manson shinannigan! And there was this scene with her and jim naked, making out in the water. Totally didn't need to see that. But Bono made a cameo and sang a song so I was a happy kid! Plus I think the best song in the whole movie was Hey Jude, that was sung by Joe Anderson. (that last name! I know, but they two have no connections. Sadly) It was a good sappy song and his vocals were great in it! And kudos to Saddie cuz she rocked it out!

And I have just watched an episode of Fight Quest plus some scenes here and there. And I figured I should stop watching people get beaten up. Especially since, you know. Yeah and there was this scene of Doug, who didn't shave for a while probably cuz shaving is the last thing on your mind after brutal trainings, and so he was scruffy and his hair was messed up and from this certain angle, I was like COOK. Ohmygawd. NOOOOOOOOOO. It was freaky for me. =X

It's back to school tomorrow and we're having PE tomorrow. Which sucks cuz it's either height and weight, or games (which won't suck that much) or the most dreadful, fitness and conditioning (since I fucking failed my bloody 2.4 run. GAHHHH). I hope I don't collapse in the middle of my runs cause that would be nasty. And hopefully the others won't be running that fast so I won't be so demoralised. Ahh, all I can do is to hope for the best. Plus crazy-ass timetable with double period revisions start from tomorrow and I have no early days anymore. And we'll probably start getting back our papers from tomorrow so I don't know. It's gonna be stressful and there's definitely more of that from where it's gonna come from. SHYTE.

Save me fom this misery.


Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world

Can you help me
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're on the other side of the world
On the other side of the world
You're on the other side of the world to me

I'm turning old school again. First it was headbanging to Nirvana in the bus on tuesday then watching the Eagles yesterday and now I'm listening to The Clash and Jeff Buckley. Gooodyness. I'm turning into an old woman.

Anyways, I just realised that the crossroads demon in Supernatural was Jared's gal! Or should I say ex-gal. Wow. She's quite hot you know so I totally didn't expect her to be his gal. And I saw this vid on youtube about
her telling people how Jared proposed to her. It was hilarious. She said:

"He stood me up (as in asking her to stand up) and I thought he wanted a hug and then he got down on his knees....but you know, he was still my height..."

That was super funny cuz yes, Jared is reaaaaaaally tall and she's average.

Oh wells, gotta head down to fix my soon-to-explode phone. I swear that's what everyone says when I tell them my battery is going cookoo. So yes, I'm gonna make a trip down to eastpoint to see what's wrong with it. And while I'm there, I'm gonna check out the Kooks at popular. Didn't get their cd yesterday cause sembawabg only had the first one. So I got Jakob Dylan's Seeing Things and KT Tunstall's Acoustic Extravaganza. And yes, as you can tell, the CD spree has started again after months of hiatus. (: And since I started off badly with Lenny Kravitz' cd (damn you Jon, you idiot. I shouldn't have read your review!), I'm gonna have to make up for it.


She got out of town
On a railway new york bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on broadway

There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to please you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You can turn yourself around
And come on home

I got a hole in me now
I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city

Some things in this world
They don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
And they're things that you miss

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to please you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You can turn yourself around
And come on home

Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For god's sake turn around

First up, can I just say OUCH.
Just watch to see why.



I can feel Doug's pain man. I mean, did you see how badly bruisesd his stomach was. OUCH. And yes, his bod is soooo hot. Did you check out his back? The muscles there! OMG. (: Oh, and I was reading Doug's myspace and it says "smoke/drink: no/yes". And I'm like YESSSSSSS. Finally someone who doesn't smoke! Sharon knows how devastated I am about James Morrison smoking cuz I really like his voice!

Speaking of which, miss sharon chan has absolutely gone bananas over Jim from 21. Yup, we're on a first name basis here. She is like one crazy deprived groupie I tell ya. But yes, he's very cute. AND tall. But darling, I'm not snatching him from you. I've got my own Jared Padalecki. (:



Total cutie right? I discovered him while watching the making of House of Wax and of course when I found out he was in Supernatural, I wanted to watch the show so badly. Thank God the show is good and Jensen Ackles isn't too bad to look at either! Double treat! (:


This pic looks like one of those yearbook pics. LOL. Probably from his younger days when his eyebrows and eyes weren't so scrunged up. Anyways, Jared is like 6"4 (1.93 friggin' metres) tall and he has green-blue eyes even though they're so small you can't see them and they look brown!

Look at his biceps man. Woah. He looks so tall and lanky next to Jensen Ackles in Supernatural and I kinda didn't believe he could throw a real punch until I saw his arms.

REALLY nice bod! But no, you don't get to see him like that in Supernatural. Most of the time he's in a tee and wearing a button shirt over the tee. He looks good that way too. Trust me! (: And you know, back in 2005, people mag named Jensen and him 'Sexiest Ghostbusters'! LOL.

And by now you're probably wondering why is he always so intensely looking into the camera trying to ooze sexy so here's a nice smile for you. =D

This one's my favourite cause he looks so happy. His smile is just soooooo melt-your-heart! I think he looks a tad like Jim in this pic. Must be the hair colour! Oooh. And his favourite ice cream flavour is Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough (definitely B&Js man!) He's lactose intolerant but he says it's worth the stomach ache! SOOOOOOO CUTE. And guess what his favourite book is! The Great Gatsby! LOL. And he recently broke it off with his long-time girlfriend, which is sad but it's good cause now, he's single! (: And get this, this is what he said:

"Just be yourself and the right guy will come along, whether it be today, tomorrow, or next year. It'll happen!"

Yes babeh. So I've sent up Jared to take on Jim. And Sharon can have Jim cuz I'm having Jared. XD (And yes, I'm over Cook)

Something I made up in my head to replace the lyrics section for today:

Sometimes you gotta let go to move on
Sometimes you gotta face your fears and be strong
You've gotta give it all you've got
And never back down

My latest earworm: Learn to Be Still by the Eagles

Yes, the good ol' classic daddy-song which I've probably heard a million times before. But that's what make it so good. (:

Oh, you know, I love reading cd booklets. I always hope that there's lyrics in them. Or even better, the band/singer commenting on how the song was written or something about the song. So I really appreciated the Eagles' best of album. The booklet was like an interview and them commenting on what inspired the song and all. Really nice touch. And I just watched 2 webisodes of James Morrison. Pretty nice cuz he kinda explains how he came up with the song. Sharon doesn't like him but I love his voice and of course, his Hummingbird! (Boy, if you don't know what I'm referring to, it actually sounds wrong!)

Anyway, I finally got Woody out today in an attempt to strum put he's still out of tune and my skills still suck so I gave up and I used my best instrument, my voice! Laaaaaaa~ But seriously, I guess your voice is the most convenient instrument isn't it? You can just sing any time you want to and there's no need to "lug" it around!

Right. Meeting Sharon tmr for 21. And I'm hoping to buy The Kooks' cds. Thinking bout Jakob Dylan too. If you're wondering why his surname sounds so familiar, he's Bob Dylan's son. He's solo album's very acoustic, which is the kinda sound I'm into nowadays. Don't get me wrong, I haven't given up my Queen and ACDC, I'm just a bit more subtle these days.

And speaking about going solo, it's sad to hear that Marty Casey hs left the Lovehammers to join this othe band called the LA Guns. I don't know bout this new move but I do sincerely hope they sound good. But Lovehammers or not, I'm still gonna write to Marty at the end of the year to beg him to come and perform here. Plus I saw this youtube vid with the Lovehammers and Matt Hoffer. Matt's the guy who had too early an exit from Rockstar Supernova.

Right on, it's getting late and I need very badly to catch up on sleep. So I'll leave you with this one.


It's just another day in paradise
As you stumble to your bed
You'd give anything to silence
Those voices ringing in your head
You thought you could find happiness
Just over that green hill
You thought you would be satisfied
But you never will
Learn to be still

We are like sheep without a shepherd
We don't know how to be alone
So we wander 'round this desert
And wind up following the wrong gods home
But the flock cries out for another
And they keep answering that bell
And one more starry-eyed messiah
Meets a violent farewell
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

Now the flowers in your garden
They don't smell so sweet
Maybe you've forgotten
The heaven lying at your feet

There are so many contridictions
In all these messages we send
(We keep asking)
How do I get out of here
Where do I fit in?
Though the world is torn and shaken
Even if your heart is breakin'
It's waiting for you to awaken
And someday you will
Learn to be still
Learn to be still

You just keep on runnin'
Keep on runnin'
