Lets Stay Together
Al Green

I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me

'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Since, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break upT
hen turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me
Staying around you is all I see

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

(repeat to fade):
Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

INdie venture week....

i definately made the right choice in choosing bio ss subject...

day 1 ...

introduced to concept of food in relation to time and change and progress affecting food over time...very very interesting...as we discuss and let our thoughts go wild as we think of points and concepts and generalization...using mediums like the matrix(movie) and a storybook....

the most interesting part of today was going to CORDUROY & FINCH!!!!...some high class restaurant...located at this small arcade of shops at the corner of Bukit Timah Road and Sixth Avenue, the glass-paned front of the shop shows of its art-deco modern interior. And what a cozy interior this was. The furniture had sleek corners and stainless steel finishing. Its walls were adorned with framed movie posters and photographs of celebrities. One wall consisted entirely from floorboard to ceiling a shelf full of cans, bottles and jars of foodstuff. And this was a two-storey ..super small place...but...their design concept helped them to use the small space they have to expand their floor space..its like only 4 classrooms vjc size(as in 2 on 1 floor)...

we were lead to the 2nd level...like a gallery sort..with glass panels allowing us to overlook the whole first level...not only table and chair leh...got coffeetable and sofa hor...i first up the level so i took the furthest sofa which could seat most of our class ppl...only knee high coffee table and that was our dining table...okok...then waited long enuf for Mr Murray Aitken ...founder and manager of the restaurant...to talk to us about his experience in the food and beverage industry and about location about quality of food about food preparation...about so many things...that...we started to get very very very hungry...and then came the food...glorious food...appetizer...
corduroy and finch deli special caesar salad with croutons....super nice but abit salty cheese...but anyway one of my first time eating caesar salad...coz...i dont eat salads...okok...then mr aitken said something about the the time between the courses that would make you fill full or something...so we had to wait 10-15 mins til the next course....which was...
chicken linguini with porcini mushroom and cream....super nice...i love pasta...esp cream based ones...but this one could go with more cream...but nvm...still tasted great...the chicken was definaltey breast meat...so it would be hard and tough...but no...it was hard but...it was tender and very easy to bite......and the mushrooms...just great...vaishali cannot eat finish and anyway she was vegetarian..so she could eat it...so...like ...another plate...i eat most of it then...asked tristan to share...so..its like...2 plates of that?then still got the battery operated pepper grinder...so cooll...got flash light added in somemore...like at night too dark or something..when you grind the pepper the light on......okok...anyway...talk about the toilet...so cool ...mixed toilet....you enter a red tiled room ...2 cubicles....and you see like the sink...the tap is so cool...like some shower......ok...then the desert
c and f cheese cake with homewade vanilla bean ice cream and strawberry sauce...ok lah...i not a great fan of deserts but i must say that it was b-e-a-utiful...the concept of the restaurant was just so circle...it was a complete circle of entertainment...relaxation..food...comort....blah...like everything is in...you have movies playing at night...you have magazines and books on shelfs...they sell utensil...kitchen ware to groceries...to...kitchen decor....just such a wonderful place...for such quality at such affordable price...it is value for money...even the staff were so warm...and ppl went to buy the deserts of course...the to die for choclate mousse...and blah...we left with a small bottle of strawberry jam as a gift...

okok...back to the real world...came back ...then did some discussion...then we headed for east coast road trail...where we walked down east coast rd and drew a map on the place...looking at the food here....about competition like btw katong laksa and blah...

i think indie venture was not very good...it was just like any other helmsman week...the way the teachers put it made it sound like it was so great and it was not up to that expectation lah...

2005-07-30T17:43:00.000+08:00

being high on the wall makes me so happy...despite the immense pain that hanging on brings...looking at the world below you.... trying your very best to grab the next handhold to bring yourself higher one step at a time...but feeling inferior when you are at a pro place just really sucks...

haiz...friday we went to ClimbAsia...some ulu place in rangoon road...dont know where...paid like $24...and the first thing that went wrong was that...i didnt have any shoes...was told that can borrow the climbing shoes...ok...no prob...but it just simply sucks when at times like this...you find that...your feet are freaking BIG!...well...not to worry ...just live with it...so...climb without shoes then!...2 storey place...like those kind of old housing...that kind...so...2 storey of wall to climb...not an easy feat...less than 3m high but fairly difficult...i like...everyone had shoe so those mini little foothold they can stand...heavy person like me cant step on it...this place more on bouldering than on height...the proper techniques to bring you higher in difficult situations...floor covered with mats like some gymnastic playground...climb climb climb climb climb...climb until my feet hurt like mad...my poor little soles...and fingers too...alot of friction...then went to first floor to climb the more pro wall....with ceiling hand holds...this one was super difficult...may have more handholds but...the thing is that ...they are not userfriendly..or convinient...difficult to hold on to...but ...just hold on...this time was too tired and sian to climb so.....do some flips...alot of flips...onto the soft floor...haha...so fun...some backflip...front flip....hha...love that place...next time i try to come more prepared...

How Deep Is Your Love - Bee Gees

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love,
then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show ....

How deep is your love? (How deep is your love? How deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show ....

How deep is your love? (How deep is your love? How deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down,
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breezeKeep me warm in your love, then you softly leaveAnd it's me you need to show ....

How deep is your love? (How deep is your love? How deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love? (How deep is your love? How deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

How deep is your love? (How deep is your love? How deep is your love?)
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

Superman - Five For Fighting

I can't stand to fly
I'm not that naive
I'm just out to find
the better part of me

I'm more than a bird
I'm more than a plane
I'm more than just some pretty face
beside the train
and it's not easy to be me

Wish that I could cry
fall upon my knees
find a way to lie
bout a home
i'll never see

it may sound obsurb
it's only naive
but even heros have the right to bleed
I maybe distrubed
but won't you conceed
even heros have the right to dream
and it's not easy to be me

Up, up and away…away from me
Well it’s all right
You can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy
or anything

I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees

I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me

Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me

Im only a man
In a funny red sheet
Im only a man
Looking for a dream
Im only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Its not easy to be me

I Don't Wanna Be - Gavin Degraw

I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anything other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situtaion-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

I don't want to be
Anything other that what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me
I don't want to be

California - Phantom Planet

We've been on the run
Driving in the sun
Looking out for #1
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Hustlers grab your guns
Your shadow weighs a ton
Driving down the 101
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

On the stereo
Listen as we go
Nothing's gonna stop me now
California here we come
Right back where we started from

Pedal to the floor
Thinkin' of the roar
Gotta get us to the show
California here we come
Right back where we started from

California!
Here we come!

More Than Words

Saying I love you,
Is not the words,
I want to hear from you,
It's not that I want you,
Not to say but
if you only knew,
How easy,
it would be to show me how you feel,

More than words,
is all you have to do,
to make it real,
Then you wouldn't have to say,
that you love me,
Cause I'd already know,

What would you do,
if my heart was torn in two,
More than words to show you feel,
That your love for me is real,

What would you say,
if I took those words away,
Then you couldn't make things new,
Just by saying I love you,

It's more than words,
It's more than what you say,
It's the things you do,
oh yeah,
It's more than words,
It's more than what you say,
It's the things you do,
oh yeah,

Now that I've tried to,
talk to you and make you understand,
All you have to do,
is close your eyes,
And just reach out your hands,
and touch me,
Hold me close don't ever let me go,

More than words,
is all I ever needed you to show,
Then you wouldn't have to say,
that you love me,
Cause I'd already know,

What would you do,
if my heart was torn in two,
More than words to show you feel,
That your love for me is real,

What would you say,
if I took those words away,
Then you couldn't make things new,
Just by saying I love you.....
