say you say me

Q: Why didn't you ever say that you loved me? Why didn't you ever share your feelings with me? Why didn't you ever show me that you cared? Why didn't you ever hold me in your arms and tell me that I was the one?

A: Because I didn't know how to.

Does it all matter now? =(

be careful what you wish for..

Isn't it amazing that when we have gotten what we had wished for, things are often not how we had wanted them to be?

6110 Navigator

My previous 6021 died yesterday. Probably realised that its partner 6288 died over at the States. =( So I had to get another phone. N95 is still definitely out of my reach, so I got its more mortal cousin, the new n6110 navigator. Cost me $500 with a 2-year plan.
Just got the phone and am still experimenting with it so I can't say much. But judging by first impressions I am pretty happy with the phone. Hopefully with its navigation function, it can give me some direction to my pretty farked-up life now.

try your best, but remember that there's a limit

17-year-old triathlete collapsed after crossing finish line

A PROMISING 17-year-old triathlete collapsed on Sunday after he crossed the finish line in a South-east Asia Games selection trial.
He died less than two hours later.

Thaddeus Cheong, a Raffles Junior College first-year student, had just swam 1.5km, cycled 40km and ran 10km at Changi.

The national triathlete had been trying for a place in the team for December's SEA Games in Korat, Thailand.

Yesterday's trial was the first of two races to decide the four slots - two men and two women.

The next one will be the Osim Singapore International Triathlon at East Coast Park on July 29.

Eight men and three women started the race at about 6.45am at Tanah Merah Country Club's swimming pool.

Triathlon Association of Singapore senior executive and assistant national coach, Mr Jerry Seah, said Thaddeus looked 'very confident', 'very happy and ready to go', before the flag-off.

walk all your troubles away

If only I could do that, then today's 12km MacRitchie walk/hike would have taken all my troubles away. =(

Went for an early morning run at ECP with the usual suspects. Been ages since I ran there (Dec 2006).. So the change in environment/scenery was good. Did a short 10km recovery run then adjourned for breakfast at Mac's with Mel who went biking at Coastal.

After breakfast we decided that the weather was too good to stay indoors so we decided to head to MacRitchie for the HSBC TreeTop Walk.

Pace, just like the morning's run, was leisurely. Just felt a little silly hiking in my Crocs sandals. Although I could still walk the whole distance, there were some parts of the route where I stepped on some sharp or hard objects. After about 6km, we reached the TreeTop Walk. View from up was ok. I was glad that there were no large groups today so I was able to enjoy the serenity of the environs up there. =)

After the TreeTop Walk we headed to Jelutong Tower. Its a 7-storey tower which, like the TreeTop Walk, overlooks the forest canopy as well. Remembered this tower as I think we came here once during OCS. Ex. Wildcat, methinks. Clambered all the way up, and there we had a mini-picnic with the food items we bought earlier at ECP 7-Eleven. Food was nothing much, but the chat was good. Been a long time since I felt such serenity. These few weeks I have been plagued with troubles and problems of various kinds.. So it was good that I felt quite at peace with the world up there. (wished that you were here too.. i think that you would have liked it up here as well)

Reached back at the carpark at about 1600, almost 5 hours since we set off. Although tired, I felt lighter. Physically fatigued but mentally energized.

Maybe the forest hike had taken off some of my emotional baggage. Or maybe I just liked being out in the sun. But whatever it was, I'm glad that I went for the walk. From now on its going to be a long uncertain journey that I've got to embark alone; and just like my hike today, I hope to reach my destination, wherever it is, stronger and re-energized. So wish me the best of luck. =)

Ode to you

7 years ago, you stepped into my life
and my heart.
For the first time I experienced
innocence, discovery, happiness and love.

Oh what a joy to experience
your smiles, your actions and your caresses.
What a delight to share
your hopes, your dreams and your fears.

But it was not all fun and no pain.
Sometimes, things were not easy.
The future was cloudy,
and I was unsure where we were heading.

You never went away, you never gave up.
You told me "No pain no gain",
and so you persevered,
trying to make it all work out.

However the more you tried,
the more I took flight.
We were like the like poles of a magnet,
getting closer but never being able to really connect.

The years went by,
and even though we met up now and then,
the misunderstandings continued to tear us apart.
Till one day, you told me "It was not meant to be"

I never thought that I would feel this way.
Even you too!
But yes I do,
and its cutting me up like what it used to do to you.

Memories of the past keep flooding my mind,
both happy and sad.
What did I do wrong and what I should have done.
Could they have been prevented? Or were they fated all along?

I guess,
its me.
He could do in one day
what I could not achieve in all these 7 years.

I'm happy for you.
I'm sure that he really loves you.
But it breaks my heart to know that I can't hold you,
like I used to do.

So I guess
as the curtains close in the final act,
what I want to tell you in this ode to you,
is just a simple "I still love you".

Tonight I Wanna Cry

- by Keith Urban

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on
'All By Myself' would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry
