It was GREAT. I've never been to a circus before, and last night was my first time. I had this image of how a circus would have looked like...Well...the image itself was built based on my exposure to TV and movies. Anyway, the circus managed to live up my expectation, to some extent.
It wasn't as wow as the ones depicted in movies, but still entertaining. The show was started with candle girl, who demonstrated her flexible body. Next was trapeze performance. Then there was Parrot Show. It's quite funny to see the parrot could count and did some other attraction. Then there was this performance from Tashkent Circus...it's nice. Perhaps the highlight of the show. Then elephants n tigers also put up some good performance. Nice acrobatic moves wrapped in a dance was performed between elephants n tigers.
In general, it's entertaining. Really entertaining...at least for me. I think my colleagues who watched the show with me also felt the same. It's been lunch outside days lately. Yesterday I ate lunch at Baji Pamai, which according to my colleagues meant 'A continuous good feeling'. During lunch time I bought the tickets to the circus. Went home after watching the circus had an interesting chat then went to sleep with a smile on my face.
What a day....Circus....Chat...a pleasant experience :D Ahh...I just remember one unpleasant experience. During the show, there's someone with smelly feet. They smelt very bad. Darnnn...some times I had to hold my breath to save me from the toxic air. Other than that...it's good.
During the break between performances, songs from Enrique Iglesias were played. The one that was played the most was Love To See You Cry...So in the spirit of reminiscence...here's Enrique...
Enrique Iglesias - Love To See You Cry
Maybe I just Wanna touch you Feel you warm inside again Maybe I just Wanna hurt you The sweetest pleasure is pain
I don't know why Why But I love to see you cry I don't know why Why It just makes me feel alive
Are you coming To the moment, When you know your heart can break? I'm inside you I'm around you I just wanna hear you cry again
I don't know why Why But I love to see you cry I don't know why Why It just makes me feel alive
I don't know why Why But I love to see you cry I don't know why Why But it makes me feel alive
You don't know How much it hurts when you fall asleep In my arms And if this dies before the morning comes I wanna run away I wanna run away
I don't know why I don't know why I don't know why (I don't know why) I don't know why
(I don't know why, why, but I love to see you cry) (I don't know why, why, it just makes me feel alive)
I don't know why Why But I love to see you cry I don't know why Why But it makes me feel alive
Hilarious clip from some guys imitating the 'supposed to be real' vidclip in the movie.
Pop Goes my Heart
I never thought that I could be so satisfied, Everytime that I look in your angel eyes. A shock inside me that words just can't describe, And there's no explaining. There's something in the way you move, I can't deny, Every word from your lips is a lullaby. A twist of fate makes life worth while, You are gold and silver.
[CHORUS] I said I wasn't gonna lose my head, but then POP! Goes my heart. I wasn't gonna fall in love again, but then POP! Goes my heart. And I just can't let you go, I can't lose this feeling.
These precious moments, we have so few, Lets go far away, where there's nothing to do but play. You shoo to me that my destiny's with you, And there's no explaining. Lets fly so high, will you come with me tonight? In your dress, I confess, you're the source of light. The way you shine in the starry skies, You are gold and silver.
[CHORUS] Repeat x2
A twist of fate makes life worth while, You are gold and silver....
I don't know whether it's because the rain in the morning, or was the pollution in the city getting better (though I highly doubt this one)....but anyway I could see stars tonight. Yeah...when I was about to go home with Elisha, I looked up and......there they were....
The stars were shining, brightly...I could see that...the sky was also clear. Dark, blue, but clear. Wow....I took few moments to savor the view. While my mind levitating, a song from Simply Red filled the air *in my imagination....
What a lovely view
Simply Red - Stars
Anyone who ever held you Would tell you the way I'm feeling Anyone who ever wanted you Would try to tell you what I feel inside The only thing I ever wanted Was the feeling that you ain't faking The only one you ever thought about Wait a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms I, I feel you I hope you comprehend
For the man who tried to hurt you He's explaining the way I'm feeling For all the jealousy I caused you States the reason why I'm trying to hide As for all the things you taught me It sends my future into clearer dimensions You'll never know how much you hurt me Stay a minute can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms I, I feel you I hope you comprehend
Too many hearts are broken A lover's promise never came with a maybe So many words are left unspoken The silent voices are driving me crazy As for all the pain you caused me Making up could never be your intention You'll never know how much you hurt me Stay can't you see that I
I wanna fall from the stars Straight into your arms I, I feel you I hope you comprehend
Another weekday has passed... Got a new laptop (ThinkPad R400) today and had a lunch with my (now officially) ex-colleagues.... ones I proud to consider not only as co-workers, but also as friends, spent their last day today...Hmmm.....everything that has a beginning, has an end...we may stop being colleagues, but we didn't stop being friends.... I'm gonna miss you guys....
The following song from Josh Groban gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it....the music, the guitar, his voice...and the lyric...it's just awesome....
God, this is my confession...
Josh Groban - My Confession
I have been blind, unwilling to see The true love you're giving I have ignored every blessing I'm on my knees confessing
That I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face I am staggered by your beauty, Your unassuming grace And I feel my heart is turning, Falling into place I can't hide Now hear my confession
I have been wrong about you Thought I was strong without you For so long nothing could move me For so long nothing could change me Now I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face I am captured by your beauty, Your unassuming grace And I feel my heart is turning, Falling into place I can't hide Now hear my confession
[bridge:] You are the air that I breath You're the ground beneath my feet When did I stop believing?
Cause I feel myself surrender Each time I see your face I am staggered by your beauty, Your unassuming grace And I feel my heart Falling into place I can't hide Now hear my confession I can't hide Now hear my confession Hear my confession
Just really listened to this song yesterday and instantly fell in love with it. The beat, the melody, the piano, the lyric...a very nice one....Isaac Slade's voice was good... Today I sent emails to the new developers, assigning them their first unit. I could see the look of anxiousness mixed with excite and worry at the same time on their faces.
Hmmm....flashbacks of memories came into my mind...I remembered the first few tasks I had to do was debugging programs...and they were so stressing....there were days when I felt it very hard to go to the office to work. But somehow I keep on holding on to this verse that's forged in my heart.... it's Philippians 4:13... and I did hold on...I moved, advanced...and it all because of Him, who enabled me to stand tall and through it all....
Now the torch is in my hand...time to pass it on to them...develop them...I hope I can do my best...
I would have stayed up with you all night, had I known how to save a life....
The Fray - How To Save a Life
Step one you say we need to talk He walks you say sit down it's just talk Smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right She goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame And you begin to wonder why you came
Chorus: Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best Cause after all you do know best Try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along pray to God he hears you And pray to god he hears you
Chorus
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours, grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Chorus Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
Chorus 2x How to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
Le Ragazze is Italian for girls... (teenage girls to be precise...if I'm not mistaken :D) Hhhmmmm.....yesterday when I was at Mangga Dua I met this girl from univ. It'd been ages since the last time we met and she's still the same...in appearance.
Met her brought back some memories from univ....Smallville first season...Kristin Laura Kreuk aka Lana Lang...My infatuation toward her.... *and subsequently Elisha Cuthbert.....How long did it last? Few years I think....Time...went by so fast. Looking back the person I was and the person I am now...hhmm.....what have changed? Are they good changes? How's Kristin Kreuk been doin? Haven't heard from her in a long time...ermm...as if I knew her :p How's Elisha been doin?
Kristin Kreuk was just 19 when she landed the role as Lana...she's still a teenage girl. I was still a teenage. Years passed by and suddenly we're not teenager anymore. We led different lives. Me, Kristin, my univ friends.....
Well...it's been great weekend...playing futsal again after few weeks...and typically, I had some injury....then hibernating....watching DVD....browsing, chatting, blogging...went to church this morning...heavy rain....took a nap...watched Old Dogs (standard plot, yet funny) and now...ready to sleep...it's gonna be a long week...
Listening to this song also brought me back even further....the days I played computer games on PC....gosh those days seemed very longgggggg time ago....Romance Of Three Kingdoms and SimCity...those glorious, simple days.....
Neri Per Caso - Le Ragazze
Le Ragazze Si Lanciano Ad Occhi Chiusi Nelle Avventure Qualche Volta Confondono La Bugia E La Verità Seguono L'istinto E L'istinto Le Aiuterà Sono Treni In Corsa Che Nessuno Fermerà
Le Ragazze Decidono Il Destino Dei Loro Amori I Ragazzi S'illudono Ma Non Contano Un Gran Che... Quando Ti Sorridono È Probabile Che Sia Un Sì Ma Quando Si Allontanano È No! E Tu...
Ci Devi Stare Inutile Sperare Di Recuperare Se Hanno Detto No Meglio Sparire Non Telefonare Per Sentirsi Dire Un'altra Volta No Come Se Non T'importasse Più Senza Farti Mai Vedere Giù Si Può Amare Da Morire Ma Morire D'amore No!
Le Ragazze Che Ispirano Tutti I Testi Delle Canzoni Sono Sempre Al Centro Dei Discorsi Di Tutti Noi Che Non Conosciamo Nemmeno La Metà Di Tutti Quel Che Pensano E Dei Segreti Che Ognuna Ha
Le Ragazze Volteggiano Sulle Ali Degli Aquiloni E Noi Innamorati Che Le Seguiamo Da Quaggiù Guarda Come Planano... Qualcuna Scenderà Ma Quando Si Allontanano È No! E tu...
Ci Devi Stare Inutile Sperare Di Recuperare Se Hanno Detto No Meglio Sparire Non Telefonare Per Sentirsi Dire Un'altra Volta No Come Se Non T'importasse Più Senza Farti Mai Vedere Giù Si Può Amare Da Morire Ma Morire D'amore No!
Le Ragazze Che Sfidano Le Opinioni Della Gente Hanno Gli Occhi Limpidi Di Chi Dice La Verità Senza Compromessi Né Mezze Misure Sono Più Sincere Le Ragazze Della Nostra Età
Neri Per Caso - Girls
[The girls throw themselves] [With eyes shut into adventures] [Sometimes they get confused] [Between lies and truth] [They follow instinct] [Instinct will help them] [They are running trains] [That nobody will be able to stop]
[The girls decide] [The destiny of their loves] [The boys deceive them] [But they don't count it at all] [When they smile at you] [It's probably a "Yes"] [But when they move away, it's a "No"!] [And you...]
[You have to hope in vain] [To recover if they said "No"] [Better get vanished, not make phone call] [Than hear they say another "No"] [What if you're not important again] [And they never look down at you again] [They can love till die] [But not to die for love!]
[The girls who inspire] [All lyrics of the songs] [They are always the subject] [Of all our talks] [That we don't know] [Not even a half] [Of everything they think] [And the secrets that everybody has]
[The girls twirl] [The wings of the north winds] [And we're charmed] [That we follow them till here] [Watch how they glide] [Some will come down] [But when they move away it's a "No"!] [And you...]
[The girls who are against] [The opinions of the people] [They have clear eyes] [Whose tells the truth] [Without compromises] [Neither half measures] [They're so sincere] [The girls of our age]
Well after three consecutive entries without any music...I'd like to take this chance to simply put a short entry, which will be closed by a wonderful song from Linkin Park. But this time the song was sung by Josh Groban.
This is truly MY December...
This line reverberating in my mind... And I'd give it all away, just to have someone to come home to....
