For some strange reasons, I've been searching for songs from the 80s and 90s to listen and watch on youtube recently. One of the artistes that I've been listening to repeatedly is Don Henley, the lead singer of the now defunct band, The Eagles. He's really a great singer and lyricist. The songs/lyrics that he wrote are simply moving and often something that I can relate to. Those were the days where the lyrics of songs are so significant that they still strike a cord in your heart, even till now.
It also reminds me of the times (in my sec sch days) where I would diligently write down the lyrics of my favourite songs which I've recorded to my cassette tapes(!) from 98.7FM. Sometimes, I would even exchange lyrics amongst a few of my friends. Such nostalgic times!
One of the songs that I really like from Don Henley is "The Heart of the Matter" for, what else but its simple but relevant lyrics. It's like a song that reminds me that I have take things easy and to be more forgiving (I'm trying!!!). Anyway, here's the lyrics:
~~The Heart of the Matter~~ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I got the call today, I didn't wanna hear But I knew that it would come An old, true friend of ours was talking on the phone She said you'd found someone And I thought of all the bad luck, And the struggles we went through And how I lost me and you lost you What are these voices outside loves open door Make us throw off our contentment And beg for something more? I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you sometimes The more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought I knew, I'm learning again Ive been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thoughts seem to scatter But I think its about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore These times are so uncertain There's a yearning undefined And people filled with rage We all need a little tenderness How can love survive in such a graceless age? The trust and self-assurance that lead to happiness They're the very things - we kill I guess Pride and competition Cannot fill these empty arms And the work I put between us You know it doesn't keep me warm I'm learning to live without you now But I miss you, baby And the more I know, the less I understand All the things I thought Id figured out I have to learn again Ive been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But everything changes And my friends seem to scatter But I think its about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me anymore There are people in your life who've come and gone They let you down you know they hurt your pride You better put it all behind you baby; life goes on You keep carrying that anger; it'll eat you up inside, baby Ive been trying to get down To the heart of the matter But my will gets weak And my thought seem to scatter But I think its about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you don't love me Ive been trying to get down To the heart of the matter Because the flesh will get weak And the ashes will scatter So I'm thinking about forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, even if you dont love me Forgiveness Forgiveness - baby Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Forgiveness Even if, you dont love me anymore -----------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients: 1) 4-5 large potatoes, cooked until just tender, cubed and cooled. Adjust the number of potatoes according to the number of people and the size of potatoes 2) Chopped white onion, optional (can use whole or 1/2 of the onion).
Dressing: 1) Kraft Real Mayonnaise (a little more or less, as desired). This is the best tasting mayo among the ones I've tried... but erm... fattening... ahhahaha...
2) Butter, optional (1 tablespoon) 3) Black pepper (amount as desired). Freshly ground black pepper will be the best, if avaliable. If else, kapok the pepper from the MacDonalds breakfast set. I always do dat... hahhaha... 3) Salt (amount as desired) 4) Betty Crocker Bacon bits... add crispiness to the potato salad...
Preparation: Combine the cubed potatoes and onions. Stir in butter, mayonnaise, salt and pepper to taste. (Stir the butter and mayonnaise in a little at a time, until you have the flavor and consistency you like). Chilled the mixture in an air-tight tupperware or container in the fridge, preferably overnight. Top with bacon bits when serving. YUM!!!

I have submitted a resignation letter for my current job thinking I would have gotten my next job for sure. But sadly to say, I was diagnosed to be having heart murmur during my pre-employment report, thus I was sent to the cardiologist for further checkup. Now I'm supposed to do more tests to determine the severity of my condition. Haiz... this means my medical report for my new job is delayed and there's a high chance I will end up jobless if my tests indicate problems.
I'm truly feeling stress, fustrated and full of regret now. Maybe, I shouldn't have submitted my resignation letter so soon, so at least I would have kept my current job. Sianz!!! Suay ar!!!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHH!!!! I really dunno wat to say already...
Bruise Lee, Bandaged Wong, Bloody H(ell) and Klutzy Sun...
On my way to work this morning, I tripped and fell while going up the steps of the overhead bridge. Luckily, there wasn't too many people around me, otherwise I would have died of embarrasment. But I think I might have shocked the lady beside me with my dramatic fall cos I was literally sprawling on the steps. Pengz! However, she was kind enough to ask whether I'm ok... was kinda touched there... haha!
Anyway, I've now acquired 3 new friends namely Bruise Lee, Bandaged Wong and Bloody H(ell)...
First of all... Apologies to Ash who have tagged me since July 5th. But if I'm not late in posting this up, then it's not my style!!! Muahhahaha... I love giving lousy excuses. So here's the rules:
Once you've been tagged, you have to write a blog with 6 weird facts/things/habits about yourself, saying who tagged you. In the end you need to choose the 5 people to be tagged and list their names. No tag backs.
Ok... here goes nothing...
1. I don't like to eat banana BUT I love goreng pisangs and banana milkshakes.
2. Despite of the sweltering hot weather in Singapore, I dislike taking aircon double-decker buses because the seats have very little leg room (measurements of width between seats done using my legs... hahaha!) and I fear I might get DVT.
3. I bite my fingernails (eeks!) when I'm deep in thoughts.
4. I hate being photographed. I rather be the one taking the photo of other people.
5. I have a morbid fear for mirrors, especially those in hotel rooms.
6. One final fact: I like CORN and therfore, I'm extremely CORNY!!
~tada!~
6 useless but essential facts/things/habits that you must know 'bout me... Hope everyone is enlightened!!! Ohm...
**OLIVIA_inspi_REIRA_TRAPNEST is blasting out "A Little Pain " on the 1 metre thick dust on my bartop **
Yeah, shit flies... and it flew straight to me!!!!! CRAP! I was sabo-ed by this idiot at work and I was scolded by my big boss, in front of my other colleagues and my direct boss! If that's not enough, all these crap happened just 1 day before my appraisal was being submitted! Now my direct boss has to lower my apprasial rating which might cause me NOT to get any bonus, or worse, a paycut!
Grrrr... I'm so damn pissed now that I really feel like killing myself. I really did wanted to jump in front of a car while going home yesterday. Can't believe I'm so damn suay. I've been so suay since 2004; with my hospital stay, scar on my forehead and everything else that I really losing hope in life... Damn shit!
I did a blood test for Hepatitis B (correct spelling boh?) screening courtesy of my company. Suppose to be free, but I end up $79.80 poorer! How did it happen? Let me count the ways...
1) U2 yellow tank with lace: $19
2) U2 black tank with rhinestones at 1 corner: $13
3) Blistex Lip balm & Olive Shampoo from Watsons: $12.80
4) Black, glossy Adidas watch: $35
And duh... dat's how I end up $79.80 and 2 mL of blood poorer... Lame, right?
**Do As Infinity is blasting out "TAO" on my hansa-plastered bartop **
I'm really depressed now... cos everyone's getting engaged/married except me. The worst thing is I don't even have a boyfriend nor is there anyone wooing me now. I'm really PATHETIC... WHY??????????!!! Am I really that ugly? Is my personality really bad? Do I have BO? Is it because I don't like to wear makeup and skirts or dress like a shu-nu? Is it because I curse out loud? FUCK!!!
It's times like this that I kinda dread meeting up with my friends (Note: Dear friends, it's my fault, not yours...) because the topics are usually on marriage/bfs/gfs/getting flats, etc. I always feel very left out cos I absolutely have nothing to contribute. I really hate it when people ask me whether I have a bf or is there anyone that's wooing me. This one never fail to put me in endless agony because I'm already very distress over this issue and asking me about it is just going to kill me somemore. I'm really hopeless... all I can wish for is a law to legitimate marriage to PCs... only my PC loves me. Otherwise, I'll be starring in the next "40-year-old Virgin" trilogy at your nearest cinema...
Nobody loves me, Everyone hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms, Big, fat, skinny ones, Long, thin, slimy ones, Itsy bitsy, just like you!
