If you take a life do you know what you'll give?
Odds are, you won't like what it is.
When the storm arrives, would you be seen with me?
By the merciless eyes of deceit?
I've seen angels fall from blinding heights
But you yourself are nothing so divine
Just next in line.
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins,
You know my name
If you come inside things will not be the same
When you return to the night
And if you think you've won
You never saw me change
The game that we all been playing
I've seen diamonds cut through harder men
Than you yourself
But if you must pretend
You may meet your end
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
Try to hide your hand
Forget how to feel
Life is gone with just a spin of the wheel
Arm yourself because no-one else here will save you
The odds will betray you
And I will replace you
You can't deny the prize it may never fulfill you
It longs to kill you
Are you willing to die?
The coldest blood runs through my veins
You know my name
Ahh this song is one of the BEST out of all the Bond songs.
Chris cornell, Orchestra, subtle interweaving of previous bond themes, angry trumpets and zestful violins,
what more can one ask of a Bond theme?
haha.. its equally good as the movie that it comes along with.
Great plot, great bond, dazzling bond girl, crazy villians, and of course, yet another psychedellic intro.
In short, Bond rocks.
I'm sure ian would agree.. haha..
Class chalet in a few minutes? haha.. was supposed to leave house 1 hr ago,
but i guess i got a little preoccupied over something.
meeting nat at dunno what time at dunno where, pasirris i think.. haha..
Hopefully this chalet would be fun..
haha.. well, isn't that what everybody hopes?
Flying off in 3 days time, sigh..
not telling where.. for very obvious reasons.. haha.. right jane?

Doesn't one sometimes have that dashed feeling when one doesn't know which side one is on,
And is caught right between the two places, in the huge void of uncertainty and doubt?
I often hear such chappies talk about this, whether in some movie, book or experiences,
But never in my most wildest, exotic imaginations did i ever expect that this true bout of shakespearean tragedy to befall upon me,
And here i was thinking that God disliked the cliche and went with the mysterious, unexpected tales.
It is kind of rummy, being in this splendid disposition,
Feeling all mangled up and treated unrightly,
One just wants answers to this sickly situation, but at this time answers seem to breed more questions, and more questions lead to inevitable frustration and doubt.
Now because of that, one thinks with all the power of the old bean up there,
And spends a fortnightly minute thinking about the possible wronged senarios that might have happened,
But soon, one realises that unless he has answers, which he obviously does not posses, he cannot find the right questions, so to speak.
So he lets it go, thinking that time, the great healer would placade the offended and call this truce.
But, unfortunatly, again unlike what happens in perfectly good fairy tales,
The Great Healer time in itself has a very mangled and morbid sense of humour.
It is to one's great suspicion that time, along with fate one day sent one back down the path of life.
One finds life back under his feet and continues, the pain and frustration gnawing at his heart slowly ebbing away.
But alas, a few blocks down life's road later,
The michevious time and fate throw into one's path, a bout of memory and reason!
One, having gone quite a bit down the happy way, stumbles and piruettes like a fat dancer, fortunatly nimble enough to land on one's toes.
The irony of it! So blatant, such perpetual mischeviousness!
The revalation startles one into thought again,
And he once again stands at the edge of the road, not to check the time, mind you,
But wondering again, what how is the matter with life's humourous banter?

Good day to all!
Once again, congrats to ALL who survived the Os,
It still strikes me as quite surreal, what we've all been through.
Still haven't gotten used to my currently loose as slack schedule,
But i do guess it will soon sink in, somehow or rather.
BUT, the air does smell sweeter and fresher,
And the weather less blustery as before this peace.
Been hanging out pretty much these few days,
Too much done, too much to record, so much more to do.
The perfect phrase that fits this occasion now is,
"I love my lifestyle."
Amen.
Cheers!

Closure.
I see light, and hell, light NEVER looked that good.
Hello my new life.
Congrats sec 4 and 5s,
We made it out together.
come to think of it, i'm gonna miss the study times.
the crapping, laughing, playing, studying, slacking, studying, have i said studying yet?
haha.
got to know more people i would have never imagined to have known in these 4 years.
I feel as if i have just made many profound and lasting contacts,
the ones that will stay, the ones that are being built, and the ones to be saved.
i want back into my life.
cheers.

Looking back,
eleven months does seem to roll by quite fast, doesn't it?
from the two weeks of extended study, all the way to the final two days,
It's been quite a journey.
Call it a rite of passage,
call it a transcending discovery,
i'll stick to a journey.
We've been from bumbling rookies to masters at our own different subjects,
trained and whipped into shape the past twenty two months,
all just for the mere "lengthy" period of two weeks.
Hours spent understanding, mastering, practicing,
all amount to the sum of one, even two hours of a final showdown.
We have come down to the last two days,
The last 48 hours,
a point too late to turn back, but still early to fight on.
2 days,
The end is come.

Okay yes.. the usual farce about not coming online because of o levels and blah blah the what-have-yous and the what-have-you-nots.
Its just threee days of papers left, the "big showdown" is comin pretty soon,
joshua versus chemistry paper 1,2 and a maths on a single day combo.
its quite a light ending besides this maddening combination.
but, think about the happiness after, the screaming, the smiles, the increasing global warming/ carbon dioxide emissions in the air due to our textbooks (social studies, for that matter) burning.
it just makes you wanna go on.. no?
haha..
its the 10th today, surprise surprise!
i did not even know, frankly,
had to check my phone for the date. that's how the os have caused "timelessness"
and no, we're all not in susila's plane.
been hanging out in LAF, LIB and HOME for the past, lets say gazillion years.
studying with a stellar ensemble including people like many people.
its really too much to name. haha.. too many classes too.. 4d right up to 4f..
ok.. its only 3 classes, but lets face it, i'm lazy.
an oscar winning performance, i must say, our studying,
and i'm just using movie jargons because i miss my monthly intake of movies.
last one was 2 months ago. scoop. alone.
haha.
well, the list of things to do just keeps going on and on and on.
for one, the new 007 looks good.
anyone game?
cheers.

haha. yes i'm still alive and kicking.

cheers.
