So what made me want to write this post? Just now on the way back to the office, Smile was playing on the radio and just like that, it reminded me of her.

You’re better than the best
I’m lucky just to linger in your life
Cooler than the flip-side of my pillow, that’s right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me
Lets me know that it’s okay, yea, it’s okay
And the moments when my good times start to fade

You make me smile like a sun, fall outta bed
Sing like a bird, dizzy in my head
Spin like a record, crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like fool, forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Oh, you make me smile

Even when you don’t
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower pokin through the sidewalk crack
And just like that
You steal away the rain
And just like that

Don’t know how I lived without you
‘Cuz everytime that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile

Any time my little world seems blue. I just have to look at you. And everything seems to be. Some kind of wonderful. I know I can’t express this feeling of tenderness. There’s so much I want to say. But the right words don’t come my way.

I only know when I’m in your embrace. For this world seems a better place. And something happened to me. And it’s some kind of wonderful. And it’s wonderful baby. I understand and it’s some kind of wonderful. And it’s so wonderful baby. You know you’re some kind of wonderful.

So much I want to say.

======================================

Didn’t they always say we were the lucky ones
I guess that we were once, babe, we were once
But luck will leave you cursed, it is a faithless friend
And in the end, when life has got you down
You’ve got someone here that you can wrap your arms around

So hold on to me tight, hold on to me tonight
We are stronger here together than we could ever be alone
So hold on to me, don’t you ever let me go

There’s a thousand ways for things to fall apart
But it’s no ones fault, no it’s not my fault
Maybe all the plans we made might not work out
But I have no doubt, even though it’s hard to see
I’ve got faith in us, and I believe in you and me

So hold on to me tight, hold on, I promise it will be alright
Cuz it’s you and me together and baby all we’ve got is time
So hold on to me, hold on to me tonight

There’s so many dreams that we have given up
Take a look at all we’ve got
And with this kind of love
And what we’ve got here is enough

They always say, we were the lucky ones

I AM IN DIRE NEED OF A THUMBDRIVE. Why I didn’t try to get one all this while is beyond me. It’s not that expensive. I guess I was just too lazy to go these IT places alone. But oh my god do I need one. Ok before I get carried away by the absence of a tiny cheap gadget, it’s already March people! Just when I thought I still have 12 months to go…

Long break really knocks me back at work – I spent half day figuring what everyone else was doing the past week so I could write the report. And then some. Urghhh!!! Now I’m in between controllers and models, trying out to figure out what did I do last week. I hate leaving on a spur like that because I didn’t do enough mental notes to connect to when I get back to it.

It is now 3.30pm, 2 more hours I’ll rush out of here. I don’t know, sometimes it happens to people I guess. There are days when the stars are just not aligned, the moon is not so bright, the wind seems stale, etc, you get the idea. Oh well at least I get a week break which is never a bad thing. Only now I have started to realized how busy I’m going to be the rest of this year.

Already given the assignment on computer networks. I never liked networks — eeek! Binary tree and such is such a welcoming balance to this semester. I don’t really care how computers are interconnected, just get me a working one, well connected one and let me build the apps ok. You worry about setting up the infrastructure, I worry about how to store the data and manipulate them. Isn’t that sound nicer. There’s network programming paper coming up – wonder whether or not will I like it. We’ll see.

I’m rambling.

Better go now before I start saying more nonsensical stuff.

On last note: I have this sudden, an immense liking to bachata music. Just perfect to listen to at night, especially if you have that special someone. Warning: if you don’t like latin music, don’t bother. You have been warned – you are prohibited to cringe upon listening.

Sad Eyes – Josh Rouse

Damn hot.

Mousa had to find some music for his presentation so he got all these music from one place for sample. The moment I listened to it, I couldn’t help swaying around (lightly) while closing my eyes. Of course I told him it won’t be suitable for his slides since it’s so romantic for a course outline presentation kan. What would the lecturer say nanti.

But I just love the music so much. Such a perfect song for slow dance. Anyway, I have so much to do, so many things in my head. I feel if I could filter it out by priorities that would be so much better. But I’ve had a very bad week so far – headache and upset stomach all week. What’s wrong with this week? Stars are not aligned? Something happened to the milky way??

I’m such an oldie at heart. I don’t know if I’m qualified to say I like jazz because the jazz artists I seem to know only include Buble, Norah Jones and Jamie Cullum. Something about jazz is it’s like it can be slow, cute, fast beat, cheeky, sad, sexy, dirty or simply happy. So much variety coming from one kind of music. And the lyrics are so simple and easy to remember, they sound fun and catchy. I don’t think any other music can have lyrics like “Tell me when will you be mine. Tell me quando quando quando?” or “I won’t dance, don’t ask me. I won’t dance, Madame, with you”.

I first came to really like Buble when I first heard Home more than a year ago. The song is spectacular of course but more important thing is his voice. I got the same feeling like that time I heard Siti in that Puteri Gunung song — alahai merdunya. I never noticed it earlier because he was always in very upbeat songs. Those music can play tricks on your ears especially the musically untrained ones like mine. You can hardly say Home is a jazz song but nevertheless, I don’t think anyone else could have sung it better than he does. Seriously.

He probably succeeds in making it look easy and effortless but his songs are not easy to sing. He does alot of covers of other great artists, and those too are difficult songs – “A Song For You”, “Fever”, “Try A Little Tenderness” etc.

Ooh help! Nights like this, when it’s raining, with dimmed lights, listening to slow songs, to that voice. Perfect perfect song to slow dance to (guys you should learn how to dance ~~~~). How can anyone have such mesmerizing voice?? Merayu-rayu alahai…

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed
I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window

If it’s cold outside
Show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything

My wish for you is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big and your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to
I hope you know somebody loves you and wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you in the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get
Oh, you find God’s grace in every mistake
And you always give more than you take

This is my wish
I hope you know somebody loves you
May all your dreams stay big

Was on medical leave for 3 days! Huwallllamakk… well couldn’t help it. I threw up a few times.

Some pointless pics.

Still is the life of your room
When you’re not inside
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest story line
Your tears on these sheets
And your footsteps are down the hall
Tell me what I did
I can’t find where the moment went wrong at all

You can be mad in the morning
I’ll take back what I said
Just don’t leave me alone here
It’s cold, baby
Come back to bed

What will this fix
You know you’re not a quick forgive
And I won’t sleep through this
I survive on the breath you are finished with

You can be mad in the morning
Or the afternoon instead
But don’t leave me
98 and 6 degrees of separation
From you baby
Come back to bed
