imogen heap.
i was snooping around google to find out who on earth imogen heap was and as usual, google delivered the goods with lotsa peektures and whole lot of links for me to go check out and listen to her music and all. her name's Imogen Jennifer Jane Heap. funny name eh. but hey, she's really pro at what she does. respect man, respect. wait till you check out her credentials. like whoa. and you should really go check out her live performance of the song "just for now" on youtube. you will be stunned. seriously serious. some of her songs are a lil weird. but those that are good are just plain awesome. well, the interesting thing about hers songs aren't really the tune and all, it's actually the lyrics that caught my ear initially. go check out her song "speeding cars". no, it's not some ripoff song that stole a lil bit of the song "chasing cars". the latter's lyrics pale in comparison to the former. i kid you not.
i was listening to this song while on the way home from today's PW meeting(the most successful one so far) and it was like cloudy/rainy and the lyrics made me think about the past. all the regrets, the things i've yet to do and loads and loads of stuff. like wow. it's been a long time since i've found a song that made me think back that far.
so now, imogen heap's on my handphone and iTunes. like yay.
and if you know any great songs by her, do feel free to tell me and most importantly, send em to me if you can! haha.
that aside, i just realised next week is nothing like a holiday at all. i have to go back on 3 of out of the 5 days. not nice at all. at least the chem lecture's by eileen toh and and tong. phew, thank God. and it's for classes from S01 to S25 and the classes that take chem, outside the range of 1 to 25. haha. like yay! haha. eyecandyyy! nah. just kidding.
okay. maybe you should just forget whatever i wrote one paragraph before.
Oh, why'd ya have to be so cute?
It's impossible to ignore you,
Must you make me laugh so much?
It's bad enough we get along so well.
Say goodnight and go. - from imogen's song titled "goodnight and go"
on a random note, thanks to the oh-niners for making my teachers' day memorable. miss those days when we were always copying each others' homework, skipping recess to play soccer, laughing at each others' antics, cursing certain teachers' behind their back, bitching around, encouraging each other and all. it was great. really. i regret being so happy about going to a new class. seriously. i miss the good ol' days of 209. life was simple, life was sweet. no one ever bothered about dumbass things like getting attached, dumped, credentials, achievements and all that mumbo jumbo. you could just be who you were and not feel afraid at all. you could run amok with two metal rulers and yell, "for Gondor!", and we'll still call you a brother. you could be really sick and twisted and we'd still shake your hands and proudly call you a friend. you could be overweight and all but we wouldn't tease you and we'd even run with you during 2.4s and what have you.
to cut the long story short, you could be yourself. well, right now and in upper sec, it was and is pretty hard to do just that. like wow. i really miss those days. to think that those days were my worst thanks to my terrible math teacher must have been the next dumbest thing to have done since giving up on my piano lessons.
i can't believe i threw away 2 whole years for a new life in threethreesix, hoping to start anew and throw the old me behind. i guess i was wrong. there can never be a better class that oh-nine. i'm not saying threesix wasn't any fun. it was fun, until everyone started showing their true colours. like cliques springing up here and there. people backstabbing each other. people openly dissing other people. the strong picking on the weak. it was a gruesome scene, mind you. i've never seen that much politics in a class in my short 10 years of formal education.
guess being cool would mean giving up the chance for it to be just plain ol' me and you.
i'm trying to go back, searching for who i used to be and what made me "cool" or at least to the extent that i didn't need to rehearse my lines in my head and say whatever i wanted to say without getting weird stares and all. life in threesix was scripted, it was really fake. i hated it. but the only thing i didn't hate was the people. well, some at least.
for the threesixers who chance upon this post, i'm glad that you read this. and the oh-niners(209-ers), here's a big thank you for that teacher's day. really. you made my day. half a day of being just, me.
