Elliott Yamin - Waiting For You

I never felt nothing in the world like this before
Now I’m missing you and I’m wishing you would come back through my door
Why did you have to go?
You could have let me know; so now I’m all alone

Girl you could have stayed but you wouldn’t give me a chance
With you not around it’s a little bit more than I can stand
And all my tears they keep runnin’ down my face
Why did you turn away?

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you keep inside
This is not how you want it to be

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

Been a long time since you called me
(How could you forget about me)
You gotta be feeling crazy
How can you walk away
(When) Everything stays the same
I just can’t do it baby

What will it take to make you come back
Girl I told you what it is and it just ain’t like that
Why can’t you look at me?
You’re still in love with me
Don’t leave me crying

Baby why can’t we just start all over again
Get it back to the way it was
If you give me a chance I can love you right
But you’re telling me it won’t be enough

So baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you

So why does your pride make you run and hide
Are you that afraid of me?
But I know it’s a lie what you’re keeping inside
That is not how you want it to be

Baby I will wait for you
Baby I will wait for you
If it’s the last thing I do

Baby I will wait for you
Cause I don’t know what else I can do
Don’t tell me I ran out of time
If it takes the rest of my life

Baby I will wait for you
If you think I find it just ain’t true
I really need you in my life
No matter what I have to do
I’ll wait for you
I’ll be waiting …

Post CNY

This Year CNY seemed to be a tiring and somehow boring one... whenever i visit relative hse all i can do is to sit around and smile.... waiting for time to pass.... CNY somehow lose its excitment as i grow older... but somehow i feel better when i visit my frens... mainly because i am interacting with ppl i know... Ang bao this year also reduced... with the recent inflation going on... my ang bao shrunk! sighz...

Anyway CNY is over... somehow i am still tired... and reality sets in... lots of work need to be done!!! a lot of things on my hand... till i gotta produce a things to do list in order not to miss out certain things and appointment... Monday i finally had meatballs from IKEA as i got a surprised call from cinthia... so i went with her and had an enjoyable time! thanks Cinthia!

During CNY, somehow i proposed to my dad to go for dive master course... and he agreed to pay for my course and equipment! Thank God! haha so now actions is taken and i am going for my rescue diver while i am still consider whether to go for dive master course as being a dive master requires a lot of responsibility and upkeep as a PADI professional... so now my plans is spilt into 2 options...

1) Go for Rescue Diver Course in mid sem break then go for Dive Master Course right after Exams together with Nitrox Course

2) Go for Rescue Diver Course in mid sem break then go for Nitrox Course and subsequently 4 other specialities to be a PADI Master Scuba Diver (Different from Divemaster as this rating is the highest for recreational diving not as professional)

So now gotta got for rescue diver course and then consider either option 1 or 2... yeah... lastly wactched a webcast lecture of the makeup GE2218 Lecture and saw some interesting pictures enjoy! =)

Life Path

Anyway saw this on Serene's blog.... so i went to try it and here is the results:

Life Path Number 3
Followers of Life Path number 3 are effervescent personalities whose journey often leads to artistic acclaim or social popularity. Number 3s are the entertainers of the world and most of them are truly gifted musicians, writers, actors, dancers, public speakers and politicians.
A number 3 is not fulfilled until there has been some public acknowledgement of his or her unique talent. The number 3 life path is one that is characterized by beauty, excitement, eccentricity and social popularity. These unique, expressive personalities often easily acquire, fame and glory.
This number is also usually blessed with a warm, charismatic personality and an incredible sense of personal faith and optimism. Their attractive physical appearance also often captures the imaginations of others and they make excellent muses and models.
Often a number 3 is also a witty or poetic individual who is an entertaining conversationalist. At the same time they are known for their understanding of human nature as well as their ability to really listen to others and truly comprehend their emotional needs.
Number 3's are also excellent chefs and hosts and boast exquisite taste in fashion and home decoration. They are often sought after socially as others find them physically as well as spiritually beautiful.
Usually a number 3 is quite stubborn and plays to win no matter how high the cost of success. Their unusual stamina and vigor makes it easier for them to rebound from setbacks in life than most people. Often these setbacks are of a financial or romantic nature as their idealism and spontaneity sometimes causes them to make bad choices.
However a number 3 is usually quite humble and very capable of being honest with themselves about their mistakes.
Number 3's stray off their life path by giving up their dreams and talents. Many escape into alcohol or drug abuse to avoid hearing the nagging voice of their constant inspiration. If you are a number 3 who is not finding themselves in the spotlight because of personal problems then this is a wake-up call to follow your heart's desire. Your exuberant nature can take you further than most people, especially if you give yourself permission to focus your energies and talents.

Conclusion: Only those in bold are somehow true.... as i feel la... lol...

Stay away from traitors and jealous people and you will be stress free."

Samantha sent an email to me.... was looking at it.... just did the quiz for fun... although i don't really believe in such things... but somethings they wrote sound quite true for me which i am going through.... the first 2 statement i doubt so... 3rd line sound true for the first half... 2nd half not really... 4th line is quite true for my first 16 yrs of life... last line is what i always cautious about... some people out there just wanna destroy you.. gotta open eyes big big to avoid them....

Junkyards

"Why did junkyards exist? Cuz ppl know that they can sell those things that they perceive as junk to someone else who finds value in it. We're all junks. But God is our junkcollector. He sees the redemptive value in us, collects us, and redeems us by refining, changing and reshaping us. Then he shows us off to people around, 'I bought this for $5 in a junkyard. But now its worth $5million'..."

-Dr. A. R. Bernard

The above quote i think is very true... Im a junk... cos Im not perfect... got these from Cinthia's blog... something that really bring me the remembrance of how God is good and faithful... yupz... Past week was kinda of hard to past... but well... i thank God i have friends that listen to me and support me... sorry for imposing on you all... yupz...

Reaction

Realised in life... 10% is what has happened... 90% is how u react... yes... In life... it is the 90% that reveals who we are in character... sometimes this 90% we did affects other... for example... A man gambles... He lost money... then he thinks.. "oh no i got no money.. maybe i borrow some money i can recoup my lost" ... so how he react... go borrow from loansharks... not bearing that his reaction is going to harm his family in the latter... lets bring it closer to us... like when u flare up when something happens... ur reaction of flare might hurt the feelings of the ones around... especially those have anger problem and violence tendancy... who i know of a fren that the boyfren will beat her up whenever he is angry... yupz... sometimes how we react to certain situation really affects the ppl around us...

Anyway... recently was once again the valley of my life once again... i wander when i will walk out of this... but i know one day the sun will shine again... guess my feelings are rather numb at times... one thing i know is that delay is never denial... sometimes the emotions part is the tough part to overcome.... especially when certain things triggers u... in the midst of all these... im still hanging on... hoping this storm will end soon...

Anyway CNY is coming.. i hate doing CNY shopping... i hate last minute need to buy clothes just for the sake of CNY... which soemtimes things bought in complusion don't really make me like the things i bought... soon will post my timetable... gotta sign off....
