I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You - Tom Waits

Well I hope that I don't fall in love with you
'Cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
calling out for me
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
take that frown and break it,
Before the evening's gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don't understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
you light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
but we've never met,
And I hope that I don't fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
and it being late, you'd like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
and you look back at me,
The guy you're with has up and split,
the chair next to you's free,
And I hope that you don't fall in love with me.

Now it's closing time, the music's fading out
Last call for drinks, I'll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
you're nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
guess I'll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you.


Walking In Memphis - Marc Cohn

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won`t you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I`m as blue as a boy can be

Then I`m walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered `round his tomb
But there`s a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They`ve got catfish on the table
They`ve got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven`t got a prayer
But boy you`ve got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma`am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Great show!!!! =P Anyway, guess what? I think Mrs Tan really lost my test paper. I asked her what had happened today after lecture and this was what she said.

Me: Er..Mrs Tan, you haven't returned me my MCQ & Essay Test yet.
Mrs Tan: [sheepish grin] Oh..that paper which i'm still looking for...
Me: What? You haven't found it yet?
Mrs Tan: I'll try my best to look for it and return it to you by this week.

Looks like she's gonna take a long time to find it. =( Oh..i got my Econs Case Study Test back! And guess what? I passed for the first time in my life! haha... =)

When Will You Be Coming

On a golden misty mountain morning
I could sit forever in your arms
There was something sadly so familiar
Like a dove in rainy days in the sky

I say when will you be coming round again
My everdreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I'll always think of you my friend

Every song I listen to reminds me
Of the music that you loved to play
Know the coffee houses and the terraces
Or just another star among the rain

When will you be coming round again
The everdreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I just hope you don't forget your friend

Tell me when will you be coming round again
My ever dreaming Mr could have been
The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I'll always think of you my friend

The road is always mine
And the journey never ends
I just hope your don't forget your friend

sheesh...the whole angelfire screwed up my background picture AGAIN! I got so sick n tired of it that i decided to keep it simple this time round. Yep, Back To Basics!

Haven't really been updating lately. I seem to find less n less interest in blogging now.Oh well, since i'm typing this entry, might as well make the best of it ya? =) Got started on yet another show that's currently airing in HK. Its called Dreams Of Colors. Interesting plot woven round 3 fashion designers. yep.. Anyway, we got a half day today!! So i ended at 12.50p.m. That makes it 2 half days in a row! Whee........ so fun. However, Mrs Tan msg-ed Weilin n told her to inform us that we gotta do 3 essay outlines by tomorrow!!!! How am i ever goin to get it done??

I just wasted resources in a society of unlimited wants. I didn't go to sch today. Down with flu n a sore throat. This sick bug has just abt bitten almost everyone in the Drama Club. Even the teachers caught it! Anyway, i'm glad that the whole production is over. No more late nights for me!

Spent today in somewhat of a daze,alternating btw sleep and TV. The one good thing is that i managed to finish watching Survivor's Law.=) The flu medicine has clogged up my nose. Its good in a sense that my 'dripping tap' has finally been turned off, but i have to breathe through my mouth now! Makes me feel like i'm underwater using an oxygen tank or something.

Okie, dinner's here...gotta go and eat. shall update more later on, if i'm not too tired.

P.S:I'm having wonton mien for dinner!! =)

Argh!!!! i'm watching this show now n i love it to bits n pieces!!!!!!!

Staying back in sch till 7.30p.m is really no joke. Esp when u have classes all the way to 4.50p.m. Thank God this will be over soon and i can go back to my old lazy life. =) One more week. Just one more week Jean..Anyway, ticket sales for our performance are going up, or so they claim. Yep. Sheesh, i can't believe some teachers actually forced their students to go! Whatever happened to 'Its my money and i can do whatever i want with it.'??? Anyway, visited the doctor yesterday. n guess what?? He diagnosed me as having a swelling and inflamation of the muscles and tendons of my leg! I was like 'huh'?? How on earth did i ever manage to get all these kind of injuries n what nots? 1st was my stress fracture. 2nd, my wart. n now? inflamation n swelling..yay.... so exciting.

Oh yeah, read in the papers that the Dear Leader [fyi: Kim Jong Il] has a huge problem on his hands right now... guess what? its hair loss!! i was chuckling with laughter at the utter sort of rubbish,i.e news that they[the journalists] could come up with. I mean, a WHOLE article on the Dear Leader's balding and receeding hairline??? It may have been that they were trying to provide comic relief admist all the news abt wars n terrorism. Anyway, it was a pretty refreshing piece. =)

Hm.....should i go for church later on? Still haven't really recovered from the late nights that i've been keeping in an attempt to catch up with my work. Have to study for my MCQ cum Essay Econs test on the Theory Of Income and Employement Determination. Thank God that i'll only have to take it after Drama is over. But still, there are quite a number of concepts and theories to cover. You know, i really think economists are damn free ppl. Coming up with all sorts of weird theories,some of which are not even applicable in the real world! eg: Perfect Competition mkt....Just helps to add to our workload. Are the economists in cahoots with educationists all over the world or something?? Grrrrrrrrr.

4 more weeks left till sch ends for the term and hols begin! yay! =) 1 step closer to the A levels and my trip overseas! Just read that Valuair will be selling their tickets to HK for $300, not much diff from Cathay Pacific, which is $388. I think i'm gonna end up taking Cathay..=) After all, Cathay offers much more in terms of service and 'facilities'. really hope that Debbie n Esther will be able to go too... At least there will be more of us there. After all, there's safety in numbers. Time really flies by very very fast......

Oh well, enough of blogging..time to get back to the study grind!
