Perfect

Perfect pose
strike a calm

in still repose
nothing doin

but i'm so anxious
so anxious
i want it so bad

so bad

never knew how much
i'd give for this
can't release my clutch
a deadlock

hoping for a world
i never knew
a mystery i could
never unveil

wanting something so bad
torn up inside
help me to let go

and my tales i'll unfold
to you

Walking after you

Tonight Im tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just wont do without you, matter of fact
Im on your back, Im on your back, Im on your back

If you walk out on me, Im walking after you
If you walk out on me, Im walking after you

If youd accept surrender, Ill give up some more
Werent you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Im on your back, Im on your back, Im on your back

If you walk out on me, Im walking after you
If you walk out on me, Im walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two, Im on your back

I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Im on your back, Im on your back, Im on your back

If you walk out on me, Im walking after you
If you walk out on me, Im walking after you
If you walk out on me, Im walking after you

Another heart is cracked in two, Im on your back

-foo fighters



Hearts confused

keep pretending
that you're alright
keep on trying to
keep up an act
when all that's inside

tells you otherwise
tells you otherwise

keep on running
keep on showing
keep on striving
for that perfect peace
and act like nothing's amiss

when all that's inside

tells you otherwise
tells you otherwise

Running, chasing
after a mystery
running, hoping
misery on your heels
fear in your heart

Running, chasing
after a world
of sublimity
Running, chasing
after an unquenched hope

Come and run after me.

I gigged!

One of my first few gigs and it was great fun. Played with Pat at the Arts house ... we did our fav. songs, like 'on & on' by the longpigs, 'Wish you were here' by Pink Floyd and 'Here comes the Sun' by the Beatles.. and we played 'Poetry and Rhyme,' one of my own songs. It actually turned out pretty well. =)

It's amazing how interconnected everyone in the scene is. Today i found out the guy that plays for Astreal and who runs Wallworks is actually my primary schoolmate. We caught up on all the 10 plus years since primary school. I was amazed that he remembered me all the way back from Nanyang days.

I'm planning to take a year out for music and do abit of translating/free-lance writing work on the side. Planning to move to Bangkok next year when the lease ends and stay with my Dad. I've always wanted to live in Thailand for an extended period. I think Bangkok is a really exciting city with loads to discover... and when I go there I'll be able to brush up on my Thai. Now all i got to do is figure out how to get a work permit.

It's amazing how life can be sometimes. I'm so glad i decided to stick around.

=) Thank kew God.
