Blame it on the Rain

The rain has been going non-stop since early morning. Just wondering if Orchard and Bukit Timah will flood again, all I know it's getting really bad and just outside Thomson Road, it is reported to be flooded - I am not walking out there to take a picture! So perhaps more lame excuses from our overpaid civil servants in the news later, as pictures and reports come in. As I wipe off the overflowing rain into my balcony and blame the once in "50yrs" downpour, I thought maybe these over-indulgent elites should break into a song and humour us instead.

I agree elsewhere in the world is flooded and people are actually drowning unlike ours with merely wet underwears, but let's not forget they have REAL BIG ASS rivers to deal with and not little canals and drains like ours...and they are paid peanuts.

Remember why you are paid millions for, to think ahead; out-of-the-box; think 50 years ahead...why else are we taking shit that you are the most expensive politicians in the WORLD. I for one, won't be sitting on my ass...taking $ to fly around having cooking classes in France. Only in Singapore..uniquely Singapore.

Belonging to someone

Often wonder how worlds can revolve around each other and yet remain totally spinning on its own axis?

The return to normalcy as your sleeping time reverts; your weekly routines start to take shape with new timetables, and somehow realising you ain't missing much as schedules which went away isn't worth your time anyhow. What was seemingly important at a certain point in time, somehow isn't anymore.



Recent days have been great and you wonder how much happier you have become as past blog entries appear way too invested, too crappy. You start to have more days of wondering-how-could-24-hours-just-pass-like-that? Days like those could not have been possible...your usual skepticism has thinned within months and you have moments classified as nothing short of a miracle.

The careful slow steps you take is slowly leading up to a mad pace towards an imaginary finishing line which somehow seem unreachable...then you pause for sanity and start to breath deeper and ponder with walks of patience.

Over time, the perfection I once knew, erodes with the attrition of compromises, yet the inner stubborn nature never relented, praying and holding on. Then suddenly with a sneaky accurate strike of an arrow, hitting you in an unlikely fashion - you belong to someone...perfect.

Don't forget

Demi Lovato reminds me of Nelly Futado but sings like Vanessa Carlton cross with Michelle Branch. Nice song with simple lyrics - another album to get, if I get the time to shop!



Lyrics

Did you forget
That I was even alive
Did you forget
Everything we ever had
Did you forget
Did you forget
About me

Did you regret
Ever standing by my side
Did you forget
What we were feeling inside
Now I'm left to forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

So now I guess
This is where we have to stand
Did you regret
Ever holding my hand
Never again
Please don't forget
Don't forget

We had it all
We were just about to fall
Even more in love
Than we were before
I won't forget
I won't forget
About us

But somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it

Somewhere we went wrong
We were once so strong
Our love is like a song
You can't forget it
At all

And at last
All the pictures have been burned
And all the past
Is just a lesson that we've learned
I won't forget
Please don't forget us

But somewhere we went wrong
Our love is like a song
But you won't sing along
You've forgotten
About us
