*on top of e world*

wow wat a day...

felt really surreal last night, i guess its e sum total of everything adding up to just feel, well, out of e ordinary. went to sleep - willingly! - at 2030, and after i turned off e lights, i put e radio to symphony 924 - not that i dun listen to 924, mind, but its that ive never left e radio on while sleeping, and on soft music at that... and outside, for once, it was really dark outside - maybe e neighbours were out or something, its not usually so dark so early - and tho i was groggy (malaise-tinged grogginess, if u must noe) there was just this overwhelming feeling that i was living in some other country, far far away from here. gee.

been in contact wif many many people ive lost touch wif, sometimes i wonder if my job isolates me from e world at large, and that maybe this is how my life should be when e tenure ends. not anytime soon, but something to look forward to, anyhow. e ironic thing is during e day, in poly, my phone's super quiet, and everybody else's is anything but! also, anybody whos interested in going to Zouk on 13nov - $16 for 2 drinks, and Centro360 on 16nov - $15 for 1 drink - let me noe. ntu hall bash... i think. speaking of zouk, i picked up a copy of I-S mag from e clementi Coffee Bean yesterday and was gobsmacked to find that they [zouk] ran a full page ad on e back cover just like e british/european superclubs!! ill whip up a picture or scan of it soon.. wow. proof that were actually getting somewhere... i guess its sort of a personal observation of what e world's beginning to acknowledge - our very own zouk is in e running for e best intl club in muzik mag's dance awards 2002... yay zouk!

finally dug up e courage to install realOne player on my system.. okay honest admission time - it was cos i wanted to listen to e streaming webcast n/or e previous wks radio shows on BBC radio 1. but anyhow now i can listen to wbar Barnard College Radio so calvin - yes ill b tuning in to your show this sun. unless im out. hahahaaaa

heard nine days' "story of a girl" while at e supermart today. its awfully nice, and it brings back lots of memories: its for a girl i knew and thats kinda e song i attached to/associated wif her cos she was always moody.. she never quite got e association anyhow. ^_^

nine days - absolutely (story of a girl)

---

this is the story of a girl
who cried a river and drowned the whole world
and while she looked so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiles

how many days in a year
she woke up with hope but she only found tears
and I can be so insincere
making her promises never for real
as long as she stands there waiting
wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
how many days disappear
when you look in the mirror so how do you choose
your clothes never wear as well the next day
and your hair never falls in quite the same way
but you never seem to run out of things to say

[chorus]
this is e story of a girl
who cried a river n drowned e whole world
n while she looks so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiles

how many lovers stay
just to put up with this shit day after day
how did we wind up this way
watching our mouths for the words that we say
as long as we stand here waiting
wearing the clothes of the souls that we choose
how do we get there today
when were walking too far for the price of our shoes
your clothes never wear as well the next day
n your hair never falls in quite the same way
but you never seem to run out of things to say

[chorus]
this is e story of a girl
who cried a river n drowned e whole world
n while she looks so sad in photographs
i absolutely love her
when she smiles

this is the story of a girl
who cried a river n drowned e whole world
n while she looks so sad and lonely there
i absolutely love her
when she smiles

this is the story of a girl
her pretty face she hid from the world
n while she looks so sad and lonely there
i absolutely love her
when she smiles
when she smiles
