Yeah okay i know, i haven`t been regular with blogging, again. Haven`t had a right frame of mind to do so in awhile. Things.. happened, i guess. Ah well, all in the past. i did think for awhile that i was over it, but last Thursday when a certain event was revealed to me, i didn`t expect myself to almost cry. It really did caught me off guard, and it just goes to show i wasn`t as ready as i thought i was. More time, perhaps. Perhaps..

Met up with huijia at SIM last Monday. Felt a little bad as i haven`t been seeing her in awhile, so decided to fetch her home from school. Had a good talk on the way back, mostly about her stuffs, and a certain guy. Don't know why, but i suddenly just felt so protective for her. True, she`s a big girl now and she can take care of herself, but still.. oh i don`t know. *shrugs* Walked back home after sending her back to her house. It wasn`t that far.. okay maybe it was quite a distance, but still walk-able. Good exercise.

SCC`s activity was, a potluck event of sorts, including a karaoke session of course. It was the last one before the upcoming study week, then the dreaded exams. Typical me isn`t really fond of singing (for a good reason..), and a KTV atmosphere is not really my ideal place to relax in, so spent most of the evening out by myself. People who spotted me would give the "Eh, why you alone emo here?" comments. Okay, just to set it straight, i wasn`t 'emo'-ing. If i really was, no one would be able to find me. Think, 31st December 2007 countdown session back then. Case closed.

Oh, something random. Was having CADD2 class this afternoon, when i suddenly thought of the song, 'Tell Laura I Love Her' for no apparent reason. None at all. I just had the suddenly urge to listen to the song. I could only vaguely remember the chorus, but not the rest of the lyrics. So i did a little search, and when i found it, i swear i could have tear`ed a little if i wasn`t in the middle of the class. The lyrics were simple enough, but it`s like, SO DAMN SADDENING !

Okay, sorry about that, but it`s true. Many songs back then had the simplest of lyrics, but the stories they tell is just.. so rivoting. And the emotions they invoke in the souls of the listeners, it`s just unbelieveable.



Tell Laura I Love Her
Ray Peterson

Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents
But most of all, a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stock car race
A thousand dollar prize it read
He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do, that cannot wait

He drove his car to the racing grounds
He was the youngest driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace

No one knows what happened that day
Or how his car overturned in flames
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

Pause my playlist on the right, and take a little of your time to listen to this. A 60`s oldie it might be, but it is well worth it.
