Simple Plan - welcome to my life

Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding

No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life

No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)

To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life

The Beu Sisters - Once Upon A Broken Heart

it's such a nice song..

words don't seem to be with me recently.. i can't seem to find the words to describe how i feel.. i don't even know what i'm feeling..

it's been a great trip back.. soooo much has happened.. mainly all good.. actually, i can't think of anything bad that's happened.. i've loved being back..

i'm gonna miss s'pore, my family, and all my friends..

i'm leaving with mixed feelings.. it's tough..

p.s.: i'm really sorry to all the people i couldn't or didn't manage to meet up with.. i'm sorry but i won't have anymore time to meet any more people.. see you all the next time i come back.. (:

One in this world

stumbled across this this morning.. love it! :)

we have a friend in Jesus

if there's a song that i really disagree with at the moment, it's probably Craig David's Walking Away.. i guess at some point of time in our lives when faced with difficulties and troubles, we might think of walking away.. but it seriously doesn't solve anything and it certainly doesn't help the situation.. besides, we're not facing life on our own and we don't need to rely on our own strength either.. we have a God who is larger than any of the issues we are faced with.. and He's interested in our lives and in journeying through life with us.. when something hits us, He's there for us and He wants to see us through it.. and i'm thankful that i have a God and friend like that.. I don't ever have to go through anything in life alone, for He will always be walking right beside me and holding me close to His side.. thank you daddy God.. :)

true love

"they do something that's very rare; they give their hearts to each other unconditionally - and that's what true love really is. it's not this fairy tale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love."

a line out of Lucas' wedding speech in one tree hill.. i look forward to the day when i'm with someone to which this statement will apply.. but at the same time, it already does, for i have friends which i love to bits and we're holding onto each other as we go through life.. so thank you to all my friends for being there for me and for loving me.. i love and treasure you guys..

complexity

a thought came to mind as i reflected on a friend's blog entry.. as i thought about what she wrote i was reminded of a line from Harry Potter.. when Dumbledore commended Neville Longbottom and said to him, "it takes great courage to stand up to one's enemies, but even more so to stand up to one's friends".

Relationships are funny things - they should be simple but tend to be ever so complicated.. sometimes people are in relationships that appear to be going well, and it takes courage to continue on and ride out any obstacles that may come along the way.. but it takes even more courage to put an end to a seemingly good relationship due to the knowledge that despite how well things are going, that person just isn't the one for them.. then there are those who are going through really rough periods in their relationship.. the easy way would be to walk out on the relationship.. this is not to say that it isn't a tough decision or that it doesn't require courage, but i think that sticking it out requires a great deal more.. it's sorta a reversal of roles between both scenarios.. i don't even know if this makes much sense.. well, it does to me.. although i think that it's rather unfair to classify and judge as each relationship and situation is different..

i actually don't feel like posting this entry.. instead, i feel like deleting it and writing something else.. but for some reason i feel like i should post it, so i will.. if someone reads it and it makes sense to them then good on them.. if not, just take it that im rambling.. haha.. nights all!

Chris Tomlin - Enough

All of You is more than enough for
All of me for every thirst and
Every need You satisfy me with Your love
And all I have in You is more than enough

You're my supply
My breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You're my reward
Worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

You're my sacrifice
Of greatest prize
Still more awesome than I know
You're the coming King
You are everything
Still more awesome than I know

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

so blessed and loved
