our hopes and expectations/black holes and revelations

The first time I saw your face
I was blown away without a trace
I felt so alone on a busy street
when you passed me by
I felt my feet melt away
Melt away

I pray to God I could meet
Someone like the boy I'd just seen
Someone that could stop me dead
Someone that could spin around in my head all day
In my head all day

Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you

That night I saw him again
It was the first time I touched his hand
He made me feel so warm
We talked all night 'til the dawn came our way
Til the dawn came our way

But the timing was all wrong
When I met the one I should've known
Instead I walked away leaving behind my destiny on that day
My destiny on that day

Someday I will fly with you
Someday I will fly with you

But I still see his face
In my mind it's the only place
And we will meet again
And I will touch your hand again on that day
Your hand again on that day

Fourche.

Got woken up rudely by the sound of drilling and various renovations at 10am, or 9.30am. Don't know because don't have a clock in my room. Tried to sleep through the noise but couldn't and had to get up. I was all tired and dizzy 'cos I slept at 2am, lol. But must they start work so early? I need to have 9 hours of sleep.

Went for the Switchfoot concert yesterday. It was at the Max Pavilion and took the MRT there and met my sista. The people there were mostly teenagers dressed mostly the same. Meaning in black. Not fashionable black either. more like i'm-trying-to-be-an-emo-so-i-guess-that-makes-me-a-poser? kind of black... This is kind of weird because Switchfoot is so not an emo band!!!

So we queued for quite long and finally we got in. It was cold in there. There were few people in the seats and more people standing in front. Felt sorta cheated out of time because the first hour and a half was for two local bands! The first band was... not good. The second band was O.K, I guess.

Finally finally Switchfoot appeared. Yippee yiyay. But too bad my phone's cam sort of sucks and my sis' camera is useless when zooming in. Oh well. But they were good at performing so we didn't want to waste time trying to get a good picture of them when we could actually watch them.

So lalala I'm proud to say I knew all of the songs they sang except for one. Which is sad because that song was nice and I didn't catch the title. I do know it's one of their older songs. I think they sang 'Only Hope', 'I Dare You to Move' and 'On Fire' the best... some people brought torches and waved them about, hahahah.

Now I don't know what to look forward to until school starts. Which is near the end of April, the 23rd I think. I supposed I will go mad with boredom til then. I'm starting kickboxing this weekend so maybe I won't go fat with boredom. I'm finishing my current French course on the 28th of this month and I don't know whether I will want to continue the next level right after it ends. Oh I will, one day, complete all 8 courses [in total, that'd be 16 months] but maybe give it a break first.

I will maybe concentrate on finishing Italian and continuing German - which sad to say I've mostly forgotten - and try not to get a job ;)

Bands/Artistes I Must Watch In My Lifetime
- Switchfoot [done but I wouldn't mind a second go ;)]

- Yeah Yeah Yeahs [ooh I can just imagine them singing Gold Lion]
- Rihanna
- Beyonce
- The Arctic Monkeys [only if they're gonna do Brianstorm!]
