I Don't Want to Miss A Thing

I Don't Wanna Miss A thing
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you
Is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment
For all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
I don't wanna miss a thing

I know this is a really old song and you'd think tt most pple have had enough of it but i just think the lyrics are amazing.

dust me away

I hate dust. It's unbelievable how fast they cover some of my most precious things and it's really annoying. I spent the entire afternoon dusting, cleaning, sweeping and mopping. Hee... it's surprisingly tiring cos i fell asleep while resting when i'm suppose to go for a run. OH well, but really, i wonder why God create dust? I doubt it's just to discipline homemakers. Perhaps it's a way of reminding us how much we own and when it comes to gifts, to remind us of that very special moment when it was given? :) What do you think?
::Crossing thought:: Instead of complaining abt annoying things, we often forget to thank Lord for the most beautiful things he's created. Of the things i can see, i'm thankful for colours, without which my grandma's bouganvillas wouldnt be so pretty :)

Chocolate cheeseCake

[sorry melon, i'm not doing this on purpose :)]Today's my first attempt to bake cheesecake. It's easier than expected actually, cos i didnt really follow a recipe and the only instructions i got was via mns =D Today's batch is for my grandma and parents. They dont teally have a special liking for cheese so i added pretty little. The cheese batter layer turned out quite thin in the end :) Hmm.. was going to make a third chocolate layer, but i was lazy. The chocolate drizzle turned out ok :) -phew- Hope i get to bake lemon/orange cheesecake someday!

想念

I was actually going to post in chinese, but my post went missing aft my computer messed up. Ohwell, mb the computer couldnt put up with my chinese :) I had this crossing thought on the train today. I realise it's not so bad having someone to miss after all, especially when the train is so crowded and all passengers are permitted to do is have their hands locked by their sides. It's really crazy during morning rush hour. To make it worse, sometimes when u're unlucky u get mean pple on board with u and these pple will stare at u when u move/figit too much. :(
I'd usually think abt the day's plan while i stand still on the train. It's a little boring having to do tt early in the morn :) I realise, thinking abt pple u're missing not only help ur stop to arrive faster, it can be quite heartwarming too! I only forsee one problem and tt is if pple will stare if they catch u smiling to urself.
Someone made me smile today and made me eat bubor hitam for lunch -grin-

Citrus Love

I absolutely love citrus fruits. They're not only wonderful on their own, but they add this amazing twist when introduced to some of my favourite food. Those who know me will know i have a special liking for orange chocolate. Hmm.. just this Chinese New Year, i got my hands on Orange Cheesecake. I TELL YOU, it's soo good! You should really try! I ate my aunt's lemon gelatin cheesecake when i was young. Tt's good too. So everybody, go try! :)
I ought to learn how to bake it. This friend of mine made the normal cheesecake sound so easy to make. Hope i get to bake soon!

arbeiten

Realise i've been working for close to 2 mths already... This means the staff on maternity leave i'm covering for is coming back soon! Cant bear to leave my workplace. There's so much i love abt my experience, the people, the food and even my printer! Haa.. this printer produces all kind of food for me. Picture the printer with a cheesebread. YUMMY.. it looks like a mini oven dont u think? :)

butterfly dreams

My Phone.
i've been so busy with work that i find myself starting to miss out on some of the beautiful sides of life. Here's apologising to pple i havent kept in touch with.. Sometimes i'm so intrigued by the reality of life. It's daunting how every decision made is like choosing a path at a crossroad. How if i turned the wrong direction? Try closing ur eyes and feel the texture of things around you. Do you like myself suddenly get reminded of how true life is? Not sure if you get what i mean. But to be honest, i used to think about what me so special that the Lord breathed life into me.
Anyway, those who know me know i love butterflies. Am i a beautiful butterfly dreaming that i'm a girl or am i just an ordinary girl wondering if i could be a butterfly? When i was young, this was the thought that went through my head whenever i watched them flutter their wings.

flower power!

This week's Staff Appreciation week and our BIG boss got us each a flower (see pic!) and chocolates each. I love my job, i love my colleagues, i love my workplace, i love everything! Hmm.. really dread my last day here to come :(

Thanks to my colleagues who made my bday so bday-ish. On 6th Jan, I thought this year's bday was going to be uneventful but 7th Jan proved me wrong! My colleagues reported to work earlier and welcome me with lotsa party poppers. I got 2 boxes of Royce Chocolate + a Mr. Happy Plush toy on my desk too!. There's more! [PART TWO.] after i came in from late lunch, they surprised me again with green cake tt looked like a cabbage :) I love it! Apart from it being green, the cabbage cake had little candy catapillars :)They really made my day, or perhaps my week :)

omnipotent & benevolent

God is all powerful and well-meaning but stimes it's just soo difficult to accept that these two can coexist. If he loves us and have the power to change our situation. He would have prevented so much of our pain. Why did he allow the tsunami to occur for example? I believe that must have hurt to see His creations being destroyed so quickly and swiftly but He probably has his reasons. Perhaps, it's a way of god reminding us that despite the advance technology we've developed and the vast knowledge we've accumulated, there's still a part of nature that remains unpredictable and cannot be simplified to a simple equation. In fact, we learn in physics that whatever measurements we take, no matter how accurate the instrument, there's still a percentage error. THIS percentage error, no matter how small is still not equivalent to zero. Hmm...
I like the example quoted in Angles & Demons. Our Father IS omnipotent and benevolent. He's just like any of our fathers. Our fathers love us and they'll try to the best of their ability to prevent pain in our life. But when it comes to a potentially dangerous activity, like skateboarding, our fathers are more likely to equip us with the essential advice and safety precaution and then allow to skate than to be completely barred from the activity. Guess it's the same for our Lord. He gave us the free will, the autonomy. (thx jon for this bit) Dont you agree with me? Stimes we learn best after a painful mistake ;)

Missing daddy

My daddy flew over to phuket with the rescue team ystdy. I know it's only been a day but i've started to miss him soo bad. It's just so different having to wake up on my own with 2 alarm clocks [haa.. with jon being the third -grin-(thx jon!)] Hope my dad will come back safe and sound.. OHYA! My great daddy was on news last night. Made me super proud of him :) Sadly, though he's on a noble mission, i cant help but be upset tt i cant celebrate his bdae (03/01) for him and he wont be there to celebrate mine too :( On the left is my dad celebrating my 2nd bdae. I dont look like my dad then, but now i do -grin-

i love my shoe!

I havent love any pair of shoe this much! This pair is handmade and reminds me soo much of my ballet shoes. I wore them to work today and they just make me want to skip ard office. Haa.. i must say nothing could have made my happy day more perfect! There's even carvings at the soles, though i think they'll be worn off soon :( So i sketched the carvings below :)

da Vinci

I've been reading Angels & Demons by the same author of Da Vinci's code. It's an absolute thumbs up! Well, coincidentally, Singapore has started to offer robot surgery using da Vinci Surgical System. I heard with this robot, countless complex operations have now become minimally invasive procedures. It's amazing how we usually lose 600-800cc of blood during surgery, but with this robot, it's just abt 100cc. Sounds like this new type of surgery can potentially make surgery less painful and traumatic ;)

a child at heart

Work's been tiring me from head to toe! But it's altogether exciting when i get to squeeze so much into a day :) Sometimes when i'm done with work, i'd go down to the clinic in hope to learn sth and sometimes i'd drag myself to meet up with friends, go for gatherings and outings after work. Sounds terrible? Actually, if u ask me, the most terrible thing's lotsa good food + little opportunity to move ard. This is really bad.. i'm feeling unhealthy!
Talking abt a child at heart. Rmbr those times when u just go ahead to do sth which u're told not to do? I felt the same way when i got invited to dance. My new shoes were killing my feet but i went ahead :) *lol* I must have looked awful. I dont regret it though, it made the day so perfect! *beams* *lifts an unwrapped present*

Eternity

Close your eyes so you don't feel them,
They don't need to see you cry.
I can't promise I will heal you,
But if you want to, I will try

I sing this somber serenade,
The past is done, we've been betrayed, it's true
Someone said the truth will out,
I believe without a doubt, in you

You were there for summer dreaming,
and you gave me what I need.
And I hope you find your freedom,
for eternity...for eternity.

Yesterday when you were walking,
We talked about your mom and dad.
What they did that made you happy,
What they did that made you sad.

We sat and watched the sun go down,
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young,
Before you know it's come and gone, too soon
for eternity

Missing Cambridge

It's been exactly a year since i left for cambridge. The thought of it makes me miss cambridge miserably.. Hmm... especially after knowing for sure tt i wont be studying there since i didnt even apply :( I miss the streets there, I miss their scones, I miss my dorm, I miss the colour of the lawn, i miss the morning dew, i miss the breeze.. In short i miss everything!
The gd news is it's probably not as bad as it sounds:) At least i can say for sure that i'm making the most out of my hols. I'm learning so much from my job and from things i read. Will share some with you soon :)
Back to work :)

the universal language

i learnt today that the language that everyone on earth is capable of understanding in their hearts is love.

thanks nic for the book! it taught me soo much

Heart

my new hp wallpaper
Now that my exams are over, i am at lost for what to do. Argh, cant believe it, i thought having a list would help, but the prob now is where to start!
I'd definitely want to catch up with my friends. I miss so many people! :)
AND, i have lots of things to work on. I'm such a boring person, someone suggested tt i should work up a temper. WATCHOUT, i'll be angry at u next :)

in love with koalas

I decided to go to my grandma's place early today and caught her by surprise! We watched animal planet together and it's amazing how something so simple could fill my heart with warmth. It's nice being able to laugh together, talk about animals we both love and practise my dialect at the same time. Haa.. Sometimes i'm really thankful that i had the opportunity to grow up at my grandma's. She taught me so much! I still remember how she had 18 cats and dogs, had birds, fishes, tortises and i joined her collection by keeping butterflies and tadpoles. Have u seen the life cycles of butterflies, frogs and snails? Well i have! :) She taught me how to differentiate butterflies from moths, taught me some gardening skills and i was so shocked that i have to learn these techniques in school. My grandma never had formal education but she knew all about bud grafting and all the vegetative propagation methods which i learn in bio. She said it's all from experience. I was so -whoa-ed- Makes me wonder abt education stimes. It's interesting how formal education may be beneficial to only some pple while it's a complete waste of time for others. Hmm.. anyway, the programme i watched today was about koalas. They're so adorable arent they?
I've been wondering, will my love for bio make me change my mind abt doing medicine. My teacher really talked me into considering teaching. Hee.. If i do, i hope i'll be as gd as him! Then again, when my granny asked if i've ever considered veterinarian science today, it set me thinking about this new option. ARGH... this isnt doing much good to my determination to get into nus medicine. I really want to (trying to convince myself here.. haa) but there just seems so many favourable options. Guess it may be harmful tt i have so many interests..
Alright, i better get back to work. I get real excited when i think about my exams ending in 6 days! Yippee!! :) Hang in there everyone :) last stretch, give ur best shot and make this a home run!
I've got lots to do aft a's. Too many... ... ...

*jumps in delight*

My current hp background :)
I'm so happy today! :) Elated! Overjoyed! *skips around* Whoohoo!!! The funny thing is i dont exactly know why :) But it's partly cos i dont know why that sent me over the hills. You probably think i'm mad now :) Maybe i am, but i hope not. Hmm.. I spent some time thinking abt what i'm going to do after my exams. I'm definitely going to bake lotsa cookies and cakes for x'mas, read all the books i always have to stop myself from reaching to the shelves in the library now, go fishing, go cycling, learn to drive, save money for my trip to somewhere, plan for my trip, earn some money if i can, catch up with my pri sch / secondary sch friends, PLAY, call my host in germany, send them parcels.. the list just never ends.
I'm sure u have an idea of how deprived i am now. I'm really looking forward to all this rubbish ending!
Hmm.. i'll post sth interesting next time.

pumpkin Halloween!

Helllooo! havent been around for ages and was quite surprised to find lorrie visiting this place. Hello 小花！ *BIG wave* Anyway, i was shocked (actually maybe not) that i only have a grand total of 2 post in October. Hee.. 'cos i use to post every other day! :) Alright, i'll take it as a good sign that i'm finally getting serious with my work.
Hmm.. a bit abt halloween.. Heard the ex-pats in sg celebrate halloween. Really wonder what it is like to have little kids dressed in scary costumes showing at my doorstep to ask for sweets. Halloween sounds like an interesting festival. I ought to find out how it came about! :) I'm really curious.. why are pumpkins used during haloween? hee.. I rmbr seeing a giant pumpkin in australia but i cant find the pic i took with it.
Here's a pic i really like by a photographer i really like too! Thought it's apt to put it up today since it's halloween :)
Alright, it's getting late. I should be hitting the hay soon :):) i'll post again when i have something to share and when i have time of course! :)
