Shelter
Corrinne May
What's wrong, what's getting you down
Was it something I might have said?
You're walking around
with your head to the ground
and your eyes are watery red
I know you've been through tough times
Kicked around, thrown to the ground
but you've always been the strong one
So don't tell me that nobody gets you
'cause I'm standing in your corner
Knocking at your door
You don't have to be alone
Just call my name
Let me be an answer
'cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let me be your shelter my friend
We share a bond
You and I we belong
We're like coffee and morning trains
You strip my defenses
I catch your pretenses
The same blood runs through our veins
I swore I'd be your lifeline
Made a vow that I'd surround you with love at every milestone
I'll listen when nobody gets you
I'm still standing in your corner
Waiting by your door
You don't have to be alone
Just call my name
Let me be an answer
'cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let me be your shelter my friend
It was not too long ago
You sought to understand
You helped me mend
Remember when
So promise me you'll
Call my name
Let me be an answer
'cause it hurts me to see you this way
I wanna ease your pain
Help me understand
Let my be your shelter my friend
yes, i don't just wanna be on the receiving end..i can be on the giving end, too
it's been a relatively good week...it seems that friday is the day i'd receive good news (: last friday i got a call from mum at work, telling me that i'm accepted into nus pharmacy. this fri, i also got a call from her at around the same timing. she told me that she couldn't be sure, but it seemed like i got a scholarship from NUS.
-.- talk about keeping me in suspense. it was like holding one big breath over squad dinner before i could head home to devour the letter with my very own eyes. so yeah, i'm a recipient of the nus sci award (((: it will cover the entire length of my undergraduate studies. but i dun think i'd get any allowance. still, i'm more than happy! help save my parents' $$$. hahaha.
i had a serious case of sugar high from BnJ's on thursday night. it never struck me that consuming too much sugary foods would lead to insomnia ): basically i had brief lapses into unconsciousness, but i think that's about all the sleep i'd gotten.the other times i experienced insomnia was when i took the stupid clarinase (it cleared my mind as well) tablet and when i drank vv strong tea at night. pls remind me to steer clear of these agents of insomnia. strangely, i was not at all grumpy on fri morning..
counting the days to the end of working stint...

Gravity
Sara Bareilles
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.
You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.
Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.
You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on
The ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
it's been terrifyingly humid these days! i'm perspiring in sheets, not in beads. i feel like i've just walked into the oven. no, i think i've been living in one. i wish i could be transported to some faraway temperate country now. like FRANCE. heh.
in other news, i received the acceptance letter into NUS pharmacy! i thought i ought to be elated, over-the-moon, but surprisingly i'm not. i'm just...happy. relieved would be a better description. haven't heard news abt e fac of sci scholarship though. no news=bad news? hmmmm. happy for those who got what they want, too (: i wonder who else got into pharmacy as well? if you happen to know anyone who did, pls drop me a msg! i hope i won't be the stupidest pharm student in the cohort. HAHA. given my (lack of) memory space :/
