Everything Can Change

Do do do do do do

There's no easy way to figure out
Why everything we planned gets turned around
Nothing accidental, got it down to a "T"
So why do things never end the way you think they're gonna be
If all is for sure is that no one knows that don't be too quick to decide

Cause everything can change when you least expect it
Can't stop what you can't control
Gotta learn how to just let go
Everything can change
No, you can't perfect it
Some things you can't explain

Yeah!

Ooooooooooooooooooo

Do do do do do do do

Ooooooooooooooooooo

There's no easy way to plan ahead
Can't wait to get there, but we end up here instead
Anything can happen due to what it does
Somethings turned out much better the way it is with us
If all is for sure is that no one knows that don't be too quick to decide

Cause everything can change when you least expect it
Can't stop what you can't control
Gotta learn how to just let go
Everything can (oh!) change
No you can't perfect it
Somethings you can't explain

Everything can change when you least expect it
Can't stop what you can't control
Gotta learn how to just let go
Everything (yeaah) can change
No, you can't profect it
Somethings you can't explain

Everything can change (everything can change)
Can't stop what you can't control
Gotta learn how to just let go
Everything can change, everything can change
Somethings you can't explain
Everything can change

let's get on to the topic of change shall we ...
i guess we all know that some changes are good & some are NOT so good ...

on monday i met one of my friends at the uni library ...
which is rather rare cos i'm hardly ever at the library, hahahah ...
he told me he was moving out of ih on friday and then the following tuesday he was leaving to another country 4 placement ...
basically the whole point of our conversation was he wanted me to help him with something ...
he wanted me to look after his gf whilst he was away ...
his gf currently attends my bible study & i've gotten to know her better thru the many camps we've both attended over the past yr ...
and after he asked me that, he started on the whole how it felt to be leaving & for the other who was gonnabe left behind ...

i'd discovered this back in 2007 & 2008 when i myself experienced the left behind-ness & the leaving to a new place ...
and in my opinion, being left behind is far worst than setting out alone to a new place ...
the amount of adapting & stuff you hafta overcome is massive ...
for me, it was horrible bcos i was in the same place but the ppl who were there with me b4 weren't there ...
so at the end of 2006, after college yr ...
all my classmates started to travel overseas 4 uni ...
but i had decided 2 remain in m'sia the following yr b4 going overseas ...
and i remember at the start of 2007, i regretted completely ...
i had chosen to start my degree program in the same college ...
so you can imagine, i was walking thru all the same corridors & classrooms but only this time i was alone ...
everywhere i glanced i wud be like, 'oh i used to sit there with ------- in btw classes' and '------- used to sit here & stone thru lunchtime' ...
one word, h-o-r-r-i-b-l-e :(
and at the beginning of 2008 when it was finally my turn to leave ...
i was probably upset a whole mth b4 my flight ...
majorly cos i'd grown really attached to a bunch of youths at charlene's church & also the youths at my church ...
and when i was on the plane taking off, i remember opening the msg box my friends had made 4 me and i had tears streaming down my face as i read each of the msges ...
but you know wat, i didn't feel as bad as i had previously when i was left behind ...
i dunno, guess that's just my opinion ...
so yeah, being left behind is horrible :(

anyway, enuff typing bout opinions & stuff ...
it's time 4 photos!!!
photos are good :)

val put milky way on me whilst i was doing my assignment & started snapping photos ...

i discovered one thing ...
eventho i luvve my sea creature stuffed toys ...
bears still look good on a bed ...

other things besides bears just don't look as good ...
or maybe it's time 4 a change ...

val luvves bears ...

she has a funny way of sleeping with them till they end up like this ...
note : she's under her comforter fast asleep!

fave song of the day : all american rejects - i wanna

Black Roses Red

Can I ask you a question please
Promise you won't laugh at me
Honestly I'm standing here
Afraid I'll be betrayed.
As twisted as it seems, I only fear love when it's in my dreams
So let in the morning light and let the darkness fade away

Can you turn my black roses red?
Can you turn my black roses red?

Drowning in my loneliness
How long must I hold my breath
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea
I reach to the sky as the moon looks on
One last year has come and gone
It's time to let your love rain down on me

Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame it on love (x6)

Can you turn my black roses red? (x3)
Cuz I'm feelin like I'll blame in on love
I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love (until fades)

i think this song has been my theme song for the past 5 weeks ...
it's taken from the soundtrack 4 the movie 'the sisterhood of the traveling pants' ...

so the story goes like this ...
once upon a time ...
there lived a fish in the river called blakie ...
he was swimming along the river bank ...
it wasn't long b4 he caught sight of his mouse friend, jojo ...
jojo, one of blakie's best friends, was looking quite nervous standing at the edge of the river bank ...
"what's wrong, jojo?" blakie called out ...
"i want to go swimming but i'm afraid of the water", jojo answered ...
and this is wat blakie said to jojo ...
"there's nothing to be afraid of, jojo ... look at me, i've been swimming for a very long time ... why don't you jump in the water & hold on 2 my tail ... that way you will be safe ... i promise i won't swim too fast as i don't want to lose you ... you are one of my best friends ... afterall, you do want to swim really badly right?"
yeah but blakie wasn't really thinking when he answered jojo, did he?
just because he told jojo there's nothing to be afraid of, how does jojo know he's telling the truth ... he obviously told her not to be afraid cos that's probably what he thought she wanted to hear ... but why didn't he tell her about the larger fish in the river? did he 4get? or maybe he just thought it was just swimming & other creatures didn't exist in the water when u're swimming & having a good time, tough luck! ... wat happens if he gets distracted and swims off? or if he suddenly didn't feel like having jojo grip his tail 2 swim around anymore ... he didn't think that maybe the current of the waters might change & jojo might lose grip of his tail, which was out of his control ... or jojo would suddenly lose courage & let go of his tail, which he also had no control over ... and just because jojo wants to swim, it didn't mean that she was willing to risk her life just 4 that moment of fun ... sumtimes you hafta weigh the pros & cons ... and just because jojo said she wanted to, doesn't mean she has to ...
