the stars in the sky- they cried

Life is getting relatively boring I have nothing much to update on.

On Friday, CCA was rather weird. It was quite scary actually, when there are so little people around. The air-con was so cold, it felt chilly. After CCA went to eat dinner with Jun Weng. Introduced him to Jia Xiang Mian at Vivo! Hahaha he said it was nice ^^ I'm an ardent supporter of that food. Haha. Already introduced it to lots of people. Like Weiling (who loves it like mad now), Richie, Rachel, and so on.

Last night went to watch Harry Potter with my family.



You could say that this Harry Potter was much nicer than the rest, to me anyway. Most probably 'cause this movie had a much stronger human element portrayed than in the other movies. And I think after watching this movie, I am going to start reading Harry Potter. Finally.

Anyway it was so sweet when there was this love thing going on between Ron and Hermione, though I think Hermione seems to be more suitable with Harry, but since Harry is rather short, I guess Ron is fine. Haha. I was practically crying when Dumbledore died- although I don't really have any idea who is he, except that he was a good man. And it's a pity when good old professors die, killed in the hands of bad people.

On a random note, Amy MacDonald sings really well. And she's naturally pretty. Beautiful. And her songs make lots of sense, like Eminem's and Lenka's. Richie recommended her songs.

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

How I am going to end up in the future, I really have no idea. Teachers ask, friends ask. They ask about my ambition. I search around my brain for an answer- but I disappoint myself, again, realizing I can't answer the question. I'm 15 and I still have no ambition. Is that wrong? Is that bad?

I want to make a choice for myself. I do not want to end up like the clones you see on the streets today. Different kind of clones, that is. Teenagers looking all alike, girls with their hair rebonded, speaking the twit language, thinking of looking better everyday, maybe plastic surgery next time? And the boys with their pants down their butt crack, impressing the girls, showing off in front of their guy friends, and screwing up their lives.

As for adults, they come and go, rushing everywhere, seldom slowing down to appreciate life, people around them. Am I wrong or is there actually a choice about this? Or, probably, was there a choice? I think there used to be a choice. But the hopes of advancing, of progressing, of striving to be the best of the bests has killed all of human's nature. People are too smart, too fast for their own good. Where had the all the life gone?

It's all the same- you are created, and then your parents send you to tuitions even before you can learn to talk. Then they suck up to one of the good primary schools to make sure you get in. Assessment books appear more regularly, and as they stack up, your misery stacks up too. Just that you don't realize it, because you have been doing them all the time. You are used to it. Then one day when you are old enough to find out more about the world, you discover that you were deprived of your childhood. Why, you ask your parents. And they tell you, they claim that it's all for your own good. They say it in a thousand different ways. And they think it's right, because they think that they are caring for you, looking out for you.

Perhaps in some ways this might be true, but robbing you of memories you were supposed to have, but didn't get in the end, would not have done you any good.

What is wrong with everybody?! Doesn't anyone else sense that the more this happens, the faster human beings are going to disappear? They study so hard, they end up studying, working their whole life. All they get out of it? More greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, no joy. Then when they are old, they look back and realized they didn't live their life.

Dammit, I don't know. I don't know how to feel about this. I don't know where I'm gonna go.

This Is The Life - Amy MacDonald

Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size
Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna sleep tonight?

Where you gonna sleep tonight?
