the holidays should be lengthened to at least 2 half months so that we have the time to finish the hw... or is it that the band practices took too much of my time. whatever it is, i hope to finish all my work in time for new year. just now met up with wileen to collect some books for sec 4. the books are quite new... so i guess she did not really use them. thanks wileen! oh, jielin too... for the various sec 4 textbooks. now my room is filled with sec 4 books. sigh, really must study already. the pressure is already on me. i am starting to freak out over the exams. andrew soetiono, if you ever read this, we must meet up more often next year to study even if it means i have to not join the indoor competition. i am really desperate. i wish i could start all over again in sec 3 so that i can build my foundation again. but, enough of the stress, just do your best. i have been studying today again... very stressed. i have not done many pieces of homework and hence, i have to rush. i cannot wait to receive christmas presents. sigh, if i had more money, i would buy more gifts for people. well, all i want for christmas now is to have a peace of mind and stop having my parents nagging. other than that, i would like the three cds as mentioned as well as the blue cd. newest one... am i being greedy? sorry... but i have been listening to music more these days and talking less... retreating into my own world i guess. i don't talk much to anyone nowadays especially my parents. so music has become my companion, besides my friends. parents can be a real nuisance if they nag too much and scold excessively. finally found the lyrics for taufik's single... I DREAM In my mind I can climb All the mountains that surround me My spirit's there, where eagles dare to fly In my heart There's a spark That can light the world around me An open door, where I am sure dreams are It doesn't matter if I win Or the colour of my skin Cause the race is all about Believing in yourself And I dream I can run Like the wind And be strong When my heart just wants to give in I dream I can be The hero that's in me When I dream, I dream If there's a time In your life When the odds are so against you There's no defeat, if all you keep is pride First or last Slow or fast There's a dignity that makes you Keep driving on, when worlds have come apart It doesn't matter rich or poor Or the things you've done before Cause the race is all about Believing in yourself And I dream I can run Like the wind And be strong When my heart just wants to give in I dream I can be The hero that's in me When I dream, I dream I dream Of a moment That forever will be golden When the torch is passed Only dreams will last That are shared by everyone And I dream I can run Like the wind And be strong When my heart just wants to give in I dream I can be The hero that's in me When I dream, I dream manddaw
