Alvin & The Chipmunks

I went to watch Alvin & The Chipmunks with Charles and David! And oh my gosh, I loved it! =) Their voices are so so so cute. Both Charles and David said the exact same thing to me right after the movie. Each of them said, " I can imagine the songs playing at MOS. " And I was like, What!? WHY?? MOS? WHY MOS?? WHY NOT ZOUK? WHY NOT OTHER CLUBS? WHY MOS?? LOL.

I added all the Chipmunks' songs I like on Imeen. Enjoy! =)

Witch Doctor (Classic Version) lyrics

I told the witch doctor I was in love with you I told the witch doctor I was in love with you And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do He said that .... (Chorus:) Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang... Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang Walla walla, bing bang I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice And then the witch doctor, he game me this advice He said to ... (Repeat Chorus) Now, you've been keeping love from me Just like you were a miser And I'll admit I wasn't very smart So I went out and found myself A guy that's so much wiser And he taught me the way to win your heart My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to say My friend the witch doctor, he taught me what to do I know that you'll be mine when I say this to you Oh, Baby .... (Repeat Chorus)

I was on a blogging hiatus. I think I should be back now. =)

Anyway, I added 3 strands of hair extensions to spruce up my look for this festive season and no prizes for guessing what colour they are in! [ Er, what are my 2 fave colours? =) ] The last time I added hair extensions was in June 2006. It cost me $10 per strand and I spent like $40 on it. This time it only cost me $6! Smiles. =) It was done at the makeshift store at the basement of Cineleisure Orchard. The aunty who did my hair has been in this business for 21 years. She has cut hair longer than I have breathed air! (The previous sentence rhymes! Ha ha.) She said she'll be there once a month so that means I can like, go there monthly to add different colour hair extensions each time! Let's see if I'm crazy/bold enough to do that and try like blue, red, yellow, purple, etc. extensions. =D

The extensions took less than 10 mins to do and thanks to Ade, Jamie, Zhi Nian and Elicia for waiting for me! We went for lunch & shopping session at Orchard. I'm glad that I got to spend time with my sistas, esp. Nian & Elicia coz it's the 1st time I went shopping with them since we were in the same family in Feb! Come to think of it, there are still a lot of things tat we have yet to do together!!

You dunno what love is.

PSLE Results!

PSLE results are out today!

My cousin, Jeslyn, whom I tutored her in English for a couple of months, scored 4 A*s!!! Her PSLE aggregate is 258/300. She is the indisputable top PSLE scholar of the Ang family now. Haha.

My other cousin, Richard, whom I tutored, improved in his results too! He is satisfied with his results so I'm glad lah.

And drum roll pls....


Ladies and gentleman, I am pleased to announce that my student, Rena, whom I tutored since July last year has improved by leaps and bounds for her PSLE!! She used to always fail or do very badly for her English, Maths and Science subjects in her tests and exams. Her mum was really worried that she would end up in Normal stream... BUT guess what?? She went on to get A B B C and is going to the Express stream in sec sch! =) I am really really happy. =)

Many a times I felt like giving up on tutoring her because she was really giving me a hard time - refusing to do homework, throwing temper tantrums, falling asleep in every class... But thank God I didn't! I persevered through and I am so proud of what she has achieved today. =)

YAYNESS!

It was "Sparkarnival" in school today and I was in charged of going around the canteen, asking people to dedicate songs and to join the Student Council (SC). I managed to persuade 5 people to sign up for the council. 3 Vietnamese, 1 Chinese and 1 Nigerian doing his MBAs. They got lollipops as a reward, courtesy of us, the SC. Haha. Cute rite?

I also went around giving out candy floss at the end. It was a short 2 hours but I had fun. Also got to know my other fellow council members better, especially Chris, the Welfare Secretary. I see great leadership qualities in him. =)

Tmr is "Around The World", where teams will play a treasure hunt of sorts in campus and I am supposed to run around with them to make sure they don't cheat. I rather stay in canteen, be in charged of the same thing and groove to the music though. Haha. ;)

I went to The Cathay after that, my frequent hang out place cos of my gym membership at the Fitness First there. Have u been to the shopping mall lately? They placed a pretty pretty pretty PINK Christmas tree at the lobby. I love that tree! Wanna bring it home, admire and hug it all day long! LOL. (Crazy...)

The moment I got home, my grandma offered me chocolates and I started eating them right away until she repeatedly told me to stop and had to take it away from me. I am such an emotional eater when it comes to chocolates. ('-')"' And then grandma just called me on my hp(she's 2 floors up) to say that I can have the rest of the chocs in the fridge but to finish it in 2 sittings, not 1. Will I really?

3 more days to my history exam. 3 assignments to complete. And learning from "The Pursuit of Happiness", this part of my life is called, "Crunch Time". Heh.

You Are By My Side

Gonna have army rations and watch The Pursuit of Happiness tmr! =)

Gonna see Pst Phil Pringle paint and preach (if u notice, everything about him is P, P, P, P, P ;) ) simultaneously! [catch it online 6pm Singapore time, http://www.chc.org.sg/ and click on live webcast)

I'm gonna have an awesome awesome 17th Nov.

Now I'm gonna go have a goody good rest till 8 plus in the morning. And I'm going to bed with a wide smile on my face and peace & joy in my heart. =)

Thank you God.

I am 20 years old & 20 days old today. My life was an emotional rollercoaster ride the last 20 days or so. I'm far from being perfect but I'm glad I am on my way there.

The previous opening song to my blog, "4 in the Morning" is a very emo song so time for a change. I like the cuteness of this song. =) =)

I don't feel like blogging. How how?

No inspiration, no desire.

Loads of things are happening in my life. Very very interesting things. Should I tell it to you?

Or should I keep it to myself?

A blogger's dilemma?

Or am I just being human? =)

Superman, Blackman and Simple-hearted Supergirl. =D

I'm back. I realised how childish I was, being upset about something, over someone when that person has so moved on. What for put myself through all that pain? Why cry about something I cannot change? Why brood over the past? I'm a 20-year-old woman now, no more behaving like a 13-year-old kid. =)

I really thank God for a great bunch of friends who are there for me when I fell. When I'm wounded and lying on the floor, they are the ones who put me on a stretcher and carry me till I'm strong enough to stand up again. They are the ones who talked with me, heard me out, comforted me and loved me. They helped me through this ordeal. Thank you so much.

To Valerie: Valerie dear, even though u are going through yr 'A' Levels, u still shower me with yr love and concern. It really means a lot. =) I love you. The words u said really encouraged me. *Hugs hugs*

To Zoe: Thanks for yr words of encouragement, for sharing with me yr perspective, for being so patient and gracious toward me, allowing me to be make my own decisions, reminding to be on the offensive, the list will never end. ;)

To Perez: I am amazed by your wisdom. The words u spoke really helped me a lot. Thanks so much for caring bro! =)

To Naresh: You have such an amazing ability to make me laugh out loud even when I'm really crying on the inside. I am so rooting for you, that yr films will be box office hits. Don't forget yr blur and emotional Wendy then ah. =P You stay strong and stand firm too, my brother.

And thank you Daddy, for yr deep deep love towards me. One that I will take my whole life to appreciate and comprehend. *HUGS* I want to love you back deep deep. =)

My first week as a 20-year-old was very trying... Wo xu yao cheng zhang. Give me some time to come back!

No Longer 19

Email from professor!

Wendy,

I have read your Essay #2 and it is an excellent paper. You give clear summaries of all the key points with appropriate evidence drawn from the text and the organization of the essay is very good. The grade for this essay is "A".

I look forward to reading your worldview paper.

Leo Werneke

YAYNESS!! Thank you Daddy. :)

I'm no longer 19. I am officially 20... I lived for 2 decades... what will the 3rd decade of my life be? 20 to 30 years old. I think many many huge changes are gonna take place the next 10 years of my life. This will be the decade I see myself transforming from a student to a successful working adult, have my own house, drive my own car, become somebody's wife, have children and hopefully become a millionaire before 30.

Suddenly I feel like 10 years seem too short for all that to happen!

I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to grow up.

Happy Birthday Wendy and welcome to the next phase of your life... whatever your future holds... keep smiling and keep walking, you are gonna have a glorious decade ahead!

Anyways, my birthday is coming and people have been asking me what I want. So here goes:

+ Pink Nike running shoes ( I saw somebody (a guy, lol) wearing this completely pink Nike shoes and I absolutely adore it! =D But of course, I really need a pair of running shoes for my gym sessions. Now I'm wearing this $20 cheapskate shoes . . . ('-')"' My Nike shoe size should be 7.5. Anyhow I dun think anybody will be able to buy a pair of shoes for me so Nike or Royal Sporting House or World of Sports vouchers would suffice?

+ MONEY. Loads of it pls. LOL.

+ A vest. A black, v-necked and fitting one pls.

+ DKNY Apple perfume

+ Latest CCC album with 'Here We Go' in it

I know, u only have 2 more days to shop.

Disclaimer: This is such a self-centered entry.

Choc Buffet

Debbie, Kelvin, Mark and I went for the famous chocolate buffet at Fullerton Hotel on Fri nite. I expected a wide array of chocs of all shapes and sizes but I was really disappointed! The chocs were so so... In the words of Debbie, "cheat my feelings!" Lol. It cost us $35 each. Never gonna eat it again. BAH. But I really enjoyed the company though! :)

The colourful exhibits along the walkway to Esplanade!


ARGH.

Goofy.

Pretty. :)

The only choc pic I remembered to take. ('-')'''

Posing with Gorgeous' clutch.

The nice flowers and ____ (dunno wat to call it,lol)

Just thought the tea cup was interesting. Gold handle mah.

Chocolate all over her lips. Done on purpose for this pic!

I like to take pic at people taking pic. Haha.

They're serving the nation so we can sleep soundly at nite. =D

Debbie's signature pose!

Mark's cross hands pose.

My fave V for victory. :)

I love this pic!! :)

She's bringing sexy back!!

Group photo!


Debbie rocks!






MY CAR! LOL.

Er, who's the one looking shocked again? Haha.

My fave moment of the day was when Debbie was saying, "shot,shot, shotshotshot". LOL. I love you gal!! :)

Nokia care center just called to say that my N73 is "beyond repair".
('-')''' BAH!! I am phoneless, help, help! My N73 just shut down by itself last Sat night and could not be switched on ever since. ('-')'''

Anyway, my previous entry was very short because I had to go for class. Yesterday was my last Values and Culture (Philosophy) lecture. I took pics with my classmates and Prof Leo Werneke. :) You can check out my new hairstyle! So far, everyone has given me good comments except for my cousin, Melissa, who said ,"You look weird", and the triplets said "Ya!" in unison. ('-')"' LOL. I love my new hairstyle more and more each day. =) =) =)

I like this pic somehow. Like the dreamy dreamy feel. =)

With Lala.

With the Dee Jay! Both of us were clad in brown. She's 165! Gosh.

Under my Arbella. =D

With Professor Leo Werneke!

He very warmly put his arms around my shoulders when we took pics. He's 60+ so it felt like a grandpa giving me some loving. ;) He has been teaching Philosophy for the last 40 years of his life. Yes 40!! He taught Philosophy double the times that I breathed oxygen! Goodness gracious me.

He gave me an A for my in-class essay writing exam which takes up 25% of my module. Here's the comments he gave:

"Excellent essay. You give a clear development of Aristotle's concept of virtue as the mean between over and under reaching and supplying. Very good example to show how virtuous action would contribute to the overall happiness of a person. You also support your interpretation of Aristotle with specific reference to the text. "

Now u know why I couldn't stop smiling. Haha. I said that I've not gotten an A since 'O' Levels... *Correction* ---> I forgot I got an A earlier this year for my Advance Dip graduation project! Heh.

My BS mates . . .

What would I do without them?? =)

The men in black.

Vann is so cute. :)

Check my blog tmr for my Choc Buffet experience!! ;)

Till then, remember that Wendy love you, love you long time!! =) *HUGS EVERYBODY*

I'm crazy.

Agnes was not feeling well and postponed tuition. I was already on the way to Bukit Batok mrt. So I had some time to spare before class. Guess what I did??

I went to cut my hair!!

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours
Everything I am for Your kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity . . .

It's about time u change and go up to the next level, Wendy.

Momo became Velvet Dragon and Velvet Dragon became Plush! Yes I know, they changed management yet again after such a short time (wat less than 6 months i think??). But guess what, I think this time the management is really going to do a good job, judging from their marketing, the crowd and the music (this point would definitely influence my perception, i might just term any club that plays my fave songs as good and Plush did. =p). If they keep on keeping up the good work, I think Plush won't become ______ , won't have to close down and change management again!

Something really lame happened. I was waiting to cross the road after leaving my student's house at Jurong West at around ten pm, and the people in this car on the road beside me just started to call out to me and make wolf whistles. And guess what? They were Malay guys. Like hello? I'm Chinese?? LOL. Did they mistake me for be a Malay??? Or was race simply not an issue to them?LOL. And I think one of the guy looks drunk, maybe they had too much beer since Hari Raya was the next day. I dunno! Just the weirdest things can happen!

Onwards to more serious and personal stuff, I had a long and hard conversation with my aunt just now. And the contents of it, I am not to reveal. However, my reflections on it I can. And alas, I am too tired now to ponder as such and I so shall lay my body to rest and leave this reflection to be reflected on 'nother day. (starting to talk like I'm acting in a play --> I had complete fun with the Philosophy class today yesterday where we studied a Greek tragedy play. I'm loving it! =) )

Look, how much medicine I got from the doctor.

They cost me $15.40. And consultation was just $8. Total cost for wanting to get better = $23.40 + 1 hr 15 mins. It's relatively cheap, considering I told the doctor all the ailments that I have. I don't believe in paying more to see a doc when I can pay less!

I realised today that a General Practitioner's job centers around prescribing medicine. Because tat was what the doctor was doing in the 3.5 mins of the 5 mins consultation. And I was whizzed out in a jiffy. Why all the prestige about being a doctor? And the doctor that attended to me today actually drives a motorcycle . . .

Temperature check: 37.3 degree Celsius. Just popped 2 paracetamol.

Anyway . . .

With "who's-tat-girl" :P. My orange dress/top looks good in pictures! =) Kingsley in the background. Haha.

The Zen of PR

I like what my PR textbook says about 'The Zen Of Public Relations' :

" Sometimes a new paradigm - a different perspective - can enhance our understanding. And what could be farther from the practicality of public relations than spirituality? To better understand an important public relations concept, consider the principle of interconnectedness - the duality in which everything is related. What appears to be the opposite is not separate; it is only the other end of the pole, the other side of the lake.

When we think of public relations issue, our tendency often is to identify them as either obstacles or opportunities.But such words mask an important relationship. The spirituality associated with Zen values harmony. A problem is not necesarily something negative but rather something lacking harmony, a point of yet-unrealized potential. An obstacle puts us at a crossroads, allowing us to go this way or that, with consequences based on the choice we make.

The ultimate public relations problem is a crisis. Yet even that word gives us a philosophical pause. Interestingly, the Chinese term wei ji and the parallel Japanese word kiki, both of which translate as 'crisis', are made up of two characters - one meaning 'danger', the other meaning 'opportunity'. A crisis is a decision point where choices point to consequences.

The job of public relations, then, is to restore harmony, to re-establish equilibrium. "

I feel like I have a million and one things to blog about but I dunno where to start. A lot has been going on my mind lately. Stay tuned! =)

*Hugs and Kisses*

Thank you dear friends, for being there for me when I'm ill. It means a lot.I'M LOVED!! =D

I totally hate being sick. There are soooo many things that I can't do when I fall sick. I can't:

1. Go for classes
2. Give tuition
3. DANCE (becos I have no mood or energy to do so!)

And many many more.

I don't feel like leaving my house, I don't feel like talking, I don't feel like blogging. I don't feel like doing anything! The only thing I can really enjoy doing when I'm sick is probably sleep and watch tv which I have been doing the past 2 days.

It's back to studying the history of America with Dr Virginia McCombs tmr. It beats studying Singapore history anytime. Not that I hate Singapore of course. Yours truly is a lover of this country and a grateful citizen, mind you. Talking about this, you have to read this blog entry by Xiaxue about ungrateful Singaporeans:

Don't like Singapore? F*** off - and we wouldn't miss you.

I totally agree with her.

Anyway, today I got a random call from Wi*****, and he actually asked me out. Like just out of the blue. And just the other day, this other guy, randomly asked me out for coffee which I had to turn down because I wasn't free. And there is this Indian guy, who is currently serving his NS, asking me out several times which I had to turn down because I simply wasn't interested.

The guys who have asked me out on a date are like totally random guys who I don't really have a friendship with? GOSH. When when when will a decent, smart, handsome, godly guy ask me out on a date!? Even my girlfriends don't call me randomly to ask me out even though I wished they would!

Just ranting. BLAH. Hate being sick. BLAH.

Juice

The people at JUICE very cute leh:

"All advertising bookings for the October issue of JUICE should be received by 10 September. All advertising and editorial materials should be received by 17 September, or we open our umbrellas, ella ella eh eh eh... "

LOL.

Singing

Hee hee. Click only if u want to hear my out-of-tune singing.LOL.

1st time I uploaded a video onto Youtube! It's really hassle-free. :) I shall record more interesting videos & post it here to entertain u, my dear blog reader! =D *Hugs* Haha.

Information

Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don't understand our partner's requirements, or even our own. We all have a "love tank" that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.

Take the quiz

Had my Public Relations exam yesterday. Thank God it was pretty manageable. Much better than my Advertising exam. I won't know my results till like bout 2 months later.

Very tired now!

I needa catch up with my beauty sleep! I need to take care of my body... get ample rest.

Significance

SIGNIFICANCE - The Leadership Files

Quote - ' When someone does something well, applaud! You will make two people happy.' - Samuel Goldwyn

You're going to love this;

Possibly the greatest ability all of us have is giving significance to others.

One small spark of recognition can ignite a flame of creativity and drive that releases a person into a collision with destiny.

When you meet someone, anyone, include the 'wow' factor.

Be amazed at their life.

Notice their accomplishments with praise.

Tell others how incredible they are.

Thank them for helping you.

Ask them how they do what they do.

Let them teach you something.

We may have just one chance to change a person's life.

Don't miss your chance today.

Stepping out with you,
Phil Pringle

Russian woman's 12th baby weighs in at 7.75 kg
Wed Sep 26, 10:16 AM ET

A Siberian woman who gave birth to her 12th child -- doing more than her fair share to stem Russia's population decline -- was stunned to find that little Nadia weighed in at a massive 7.75 kg (17.1 lb).

Nadia was delivered by caesarean section in the local maternity hospital in the Altai region on September 17, joining eight sisters and three brothers, a local reporter said.

"We were all simply in shock," said Nadia's mother, Tatyana Barabanova, 43. "What did the father say? He couldn't say a thing -- he just stood there blinking."

"I ate everything, we don't have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes," she told the reporter, adding that all her previous babies had weighed more than 5 kg.

The Guinness World Records lists a 10.2 kg baby boy born in Italy in 1955, and a 10.8 kg baby boy who was born in the United States in 1879 but died 11 hours later.

The average weight for most healthy newborn babies is around 3.2 kg (7.06 lb), according to World Health Organisation figures.

And I thought I was heavy being born at 4.2 kg, 19 years and 11 months ago today. =D

Did u know that 'Umbrella' won the Monster Single of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards 2007?



Did u know that she wore an absolutely beautiful HOT PINK gown to the event? And she totally stood out from the other stars by the way.

Did u know that is she ONLY 19 years old?

I really hope that she will take good care of herself & not end up like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan! (for the uniformed, Britney & Lindsay had to go rehab for taking drugs. And the latter is charged for drink-driving, not once but twice!)

Kill the Ugly Side

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that I had a great day today. First of all, Agnes, my 'O' Level student chased me out of her house 45 mins into tuition citing, "I got no mood to study". At night, my Pri 1 student, Gabriel, threw a tantrum for no apparent reason, kicked (literally kicked me!), shouted and yelled "I don't want to do!" time and time again. But thankfully, he finally cooled down after 35 mins. Gosh, thank God it was 35 mins and not an hour!

Later, his sweet side appeared and I finally saw smiles on his face. Gabriel is really a cute, handsome and smart boy you know? Despite his bad behaviors and all... He's studying in Pei Hua Pri School, one of the top pri schs in Singapore. He has an absolute love for animals and he knows more about them than I do and he is only 7 years old! He told me about the Mandrill,a species of monkeys, of which the female Mandrills will look for the male that is the brightest in color (it actually signifies strength) to mate. He also plays the piano well and has a thirst for knowledge. Sometimes, he would very sweetly give me a hug before I leave...

Thinking about Gabriel led me to think about how every single person, no matter how many weaknesses, character flaws, bad attitudes one may have, therein lies a beautiful person - a person with every ability to be good, to do good, with strengths and capabilities, to be a blessing to the people around. The ugly side however, is what some people will choose to show. Truth be told, I hate the ugly side of humanity. Sometimes when I witness my ugly side, I go: '' Oh my gosh, just what do you think you're doing!? " The ugly side should really not surface because when it does, damages are usually done to the people around. Instead, we should all let that nice, beautiful person come out. Kill the ugly side I say, bury it, and don't allow it to see the light of day because when it does, it actually destroys another and may in turn lead to them manifesting their ugliness and the cycle continues.

What a happy,beautiful world we'll be living in, if only people would be more considerate of how their words, actions and attitudes will affect the people around.

Gra gra, I'm still awake at this ungodly hour. I haven seen Val for more than 2 weeks and I finally got to spend time with her. Read all about it at http://vivacious-me.blogspot.com/

Haha. I might just blog about it, at a less ungodly hr. Haha.

Did u know that Jack Neo blogs!? I found his blog through Laozhabor's blog. I dunno her real name, that's the nickname that she goes by! She's the actress who acted as Fann Wong's mother in Just Follow Law. Can u believe it!? I think she is probably in her 50s or 60s and she blogs! In English! *Gapes* Amazing! And her blog has won awards like Best of Blogs May, June, etc! Haha. I think it'll be really cool if I blog when I'm still a grandmother. My grandchildren would love me. Lol.

I also randomly found the song Beautiful Girl sang by Jojo! (2nd track on my Imeem playlist) NICE! :)

I'm going for a trial work out session at Slender Shapes later. Wonder how it'll turn out. Then it's off to tutoring 4 students back to back from 3.30 to 9.30pm. :)

Gone

Sun has a new song, Gone. It is a soothing ballad that really reached out to me the first time I heard it . It's about how someone you hold dear to walks away no matter what you could have done because in their heart, they've already made the decision to leave.

A few people whom I treasured have walked out of my life and of course when it happened, it broke my heart. But like the song says, "Even if I cry, you'll still be gone". It didn't matter to them how I would have felt when they left because they didn't think about how leaving would devastate me. Even if they did, they still left anyway...

I've long decided to be a committed and loyal person and friend. Never will I walk away. Like the way Rihanna puts it in Umbrella, "I'mma stick it out till the end".

If you have walked away from my life, from being my friend and you are reading this now, I want you to know that I cried when you did . . . but I've forgiven you for walking away. My only hope is that one day . . . you will come back.

Gone – Sun Ho

I couldn’t watch as you just walked away
Without a smile
Without a word to say
And here I thought that things were well today
But it doesn’t even matter anyway

Even if I cry,
You’ll still be gone
Even if I change today forever

Even if I lie,
You’ll still be gone
Even if I’m someone else,
You’ll still be gone

I always knew that things would end this way
Without a smile
Without a word to say
I’m sorry for the mistake I made that day
But it doesn’t even matter anyway

Rebacca Blogs!

My 1st Teacher's Day Present

I received a Teacher's Day present for the 1st time in 20 years of my life!

Natasya and I posing with the present

They made a card for me!! Yeah I know, the pic quality is bad. :(

Natasya drew the girl on the left i mean right lol. She's such an artist eh? :)

I was so touched to receive such a lovely gift from them. They even printed out my pic from Friendster and pasted it on the card! Here's what they wrote:

Natasya: "Wendy, you are a teacher that make my English improve. You also quite fun when you teach us. But the homework that you give is a lot. "

Melissa: " Teacher . . . You impart knowledge to us. Your hidden love and care is always there. Thank you! =) "

Awwww.... I know. AREN'T THEY JUST SO SWEET???

Love this 2 gals. It is such a joy to tutor them. :)

Lyrics

I got bored with listening to the tracks on my Imeen playlist so I added some new ones and reorganised it. Hope u're enjoying the music like I am! =D

I love songs that have a groovy beat to them, which I'll naturally dance to especially those with lyrics that I can relate to or just simply like. Here are some of those! :

Wasted - Carrie Underwood

Standing at the back door she tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hardwood, it fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And you just can’t get it back lets face it
For one split second she almost turned around
But that would be like pouring raindrops back into a cloud
So she took another step and said
I see the way out and i’m gonna take it

I don’t wanna spend my life jaded, waiting
To wake up one day and find
That I let all of these years go by wasted
I don’t wanna keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I ain’t spending no more time wasted

Stanger - Hillary Duff

There's no kindness in your eyes
The way you look at me, it's just not right
I can tell what's going on this time
There's a stranger in my life
You're not the person that I once knew

China Wine - Sun Ho

Me wanna see pure lighta!

I'm gonna dance my problems away!

Throw on my dancing shoes
I've got nothing to lose
Tonight I'm gonna hit the night life
And party away

Give It To Me - Timberland Featuring Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake

If you see us in the club we'll be acting real nice
If you see us on the floor you'll be watchin all night
We ain't here to hurt nobody
So give it to me give it to me give it to me
Wanna see you work your body
So give it to me give it to me give it to me

Umbrella - Rihanna

When the sun shines
We’ll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be your friend
Took an oath
I'mma stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we still have each other
You can stand under my Umbrella . . .

These fancy things,will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for Infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart

You can run into my arms
It's okay don't be alarmed
(Come into me)
(There's no distance in between our love)
So gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more

What You Waiting For? - Gwen Stefani

Tick-tock, tick-tock (x4)

Like a cat in heat, stuck in a moving car
A scary conversation, shut my eyes, can't find the brake
What if they say that you're a climber
Naturally, I'm worried if I do it alone
Who really cares, cause it's your life
You never know, it could be great
Take a chance cause you might grow
Oh, ah, oh

What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting
What you waiting for
(x2)

Like an echo pedal, you're repeating yourself
You know it all by heart
Why are you standing in one place
Born to blossom, bloom to perish
Your moment will run out
Cause of your sex chromosome
I know it's so messed up, how our society all thinks (for sure)
Life is short, you're capable
Oh, ah, oh

Look at your watch now
You're still a super hot female
You got your million-dollar contract
And they're all waiting for your hot track

What I've Done - Linkin Park

So let mercy come,
And wash away…

What I’ve done
I’ll face myself,
To cross out what I’ve become.
Erase myself,
And let go of what I’ve done.

For what I’ve done
I'll start again,
And whatever pain may come.
Today this ends,
I’m forgiving what I’ve done.

Shadow Of the Day - Linkin Park

I close both locks below the window.
I close both blinds and turn away.
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple.
Sometimes goodbye's the only way.

And the sun will set for you,
The sun will set for you.
And the shadow of the day,
Will embrace the world in grey,
And the sun will set for you.

Unwritten - Natasha Bedingfield

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten
