there’s no pretense.

Snow Patrol has just released a new album! A Hundred Million Suns. I am so going to get it. I hope it’s in stores already. (:

Update! (18/11/08)

I’ve bought it! Gonna spam it on my ipod right this minute! (:

Let’s take off our masks and start walking the fine line. Let’s choose to take the long and narrow path.

Do you mean all the things you are?
Are you pleased with the way things are?
Wear that dress to protect this scar,
That only I have seen.

Do you give just to please yourself?
Do you wish you were somewhere else?
Justified all the things you tried,
Said that it was all for me.

And be near,
Just for the moment.
Stay here,
Never go home.

Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes, as the story of a broken heart comes true,
It comes true.

Have you learned all the secrets yet?
Will you burnt by the things I’ve said?
Took the dive just to feel alive,
But never heard the truth.

Now I’m in love but I don’t know how
I’m in pain cause I want it now
And as I sit watching her eyes close,
I slowly open mine.

And be near,
Just for the moment.
Stay here,
Never go home.

Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes, as the story of a broken heart comes true, comes true.

I am so confused by this.
I know that life is hit or miss.
Days are stung by too much sun.
I think that you may be the one.

Cover yourself up in me,
Shrouded in what could have been.
I will listen to your pain,
If you listen to me.

Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
So it goes, as the story of a broken heart comes true.
Did you know that everything she ever does is for you?
And I know, the story of a broken heart comes true,
Come true,
True.
It comes true,
True.

Busyness, complacency, neglect, late nights, ignorance, procrastination. All these has kept my recovery in limbo for like.. months.

It’s time I do something about it.

I’m glad I’m POP-ing in a week.

What if one day you woke up and realised you lost everything?

Love. Family. Friends. Money. Belongings. Feelings. Memories. Thoughts. Senses. Mind. Sanity.

You forget how to talk, how to smile, how to frown, how to feel sad, how to feel joy.

You get another chance at life. Start everything all over again, from scratch.

Learn everything all over again. Experience everything all over again.

Will you do things differently? Or will you lead your life the same way as you are now?

How will you feel? Happy? Or sad?

I know I’ll be upset to lose everything, but I know I won’t be sad if I get to start over again.

:/

I fall humbly on my knees, take this offering that I bring, take my hand and lead me through. My life’s nothing without You. You are my sustaining love.

I was supposed to be able to book out on Thursday last week, but I only did yesterday morning, no thanks to guard duty. Our supposed ‘off-in-lieu’  was cancelled because we had to take IPPT again. Why? Because we didn’t get enough golds. Majority got sliver for IPPT.

So IPPT it was, on Friday morning, and after that it was book out, a few hours for majong (which I lost a crap load of cash), and then book in again for guard duty. Stupid.

It’s alright. No more prowling or sentry duty anymore. I’ll be a 3SG when my next guard duty comes. (: 2 more weeks to POP. I hope next week passes quickly.
