Jason Mraz-Please Don't Tell Her

The Script-Before the Worst

I suddenly feel so worried about EE after reading an email about the Promise practice schedule. Next week is the end of Nov and that is my deadline for my first draft. And I have Promise practice nearly everyday at UCC, including this Sunday I think, it means I can't go Faith Factor. Sigh. 4000 words within a week. And after that its TOK essay. Jialong and Jiarong have finished theirs already. Add to the pile World Lit essay and I'm swamped. I'm already so busy during Dec, 10-13 is Heroes camp, 15-20 is the trip to HK, 27-31 is Kinabalu. Judging by the schedule, I'm only free tomorrow to do my essay. And after all those practices when I come home I guess. At least Cliff is in Jakarta now, so I won't have any major distractions. Its a good thing, as much as I hate to admit that it is. 

Really got my hopes up after yesterday that he would be staying here and not going back to Jakarta. Fyi, yesterday, Cliff missed his flight. Because he left his passport and air ticket at home. The email to him said the flight was at 19:55, so we got there at 6.35pm for him to check in and have dinner together. But the counter said boarding time was 18:55. After asking the counter lady repeatedly it turned out the takeoff time was 19:55, and the check in counter would be closed by 7.15pm. So we rushed out of the airport to take a taxi back to his house to get the passport and air ticket, but it was 7.20 by the time we reached his house, due to the slow traffic at peak hour. The ironic thing was that before we left, I told him specifically to double check that his passport and ticket was with him. After he checked, he left it somewhere else. -.- So his parents insisted that he had to go back and take another flight, cos they had to settle his passport with the Canadian embassy over there. And he's not going US anymore, just Canada. That means less souvenirs for me then. Lol. 

Today I went to the vet, nothing much happened, I watched another sterilization and saw a couple of newborn puppies, played with a dog who wouldn't stop whining. 

Feel pretty down now, stressed by EE and no one to chat with. =(

Anyway, I realised the song "The Way You Are" by the Afters is so awesome. I never paid much attention to the lyrics, I just knew that it was a really good rock song. After listening closer to the lyrics I realised this song is so clearly Christian. Not many people know they're a Christian band, just because one of their songs was used as a theme song for an MTV show, but check out the lyrics of the song.

Until You came I was just the same
As everybody else
Whoever saw the light and turned away

You love me now
You loved me then
And every now and then
You show me how it would be if I'd gone the other way

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

Now here I stand looking back
To the way things used to be
But I will never be alone again

You're with me
And now I see
What it means to me
To be a part of such a mystery

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

The lyrics sound so fragile and beautiful right? But check out the song.

FYI ignore the Brother Bear clips, just listen to the song.
