broken strings
; james morrison ft. nelly furtado
let me hold you for the last time
it’s the last chance to feel again
but you broke me, now i can’t feel anything
when i love you and so untrue
i can’t even convince myself
when i’m speaking it’s the voice of someone else
oh, it tears me up
i tried to hold on but it hurts too much
i tried to forgive but it’s not enough
to make it all okay
you can’t play our broken strings
you can’t feel anything
that your heart don’t want to feel
i can’t tell you something that ain’t real
oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
how can i give anymore
when i love you a little less than before?
oh, what are we doing?
we are turning into dust
playing house in the ruins of us
running back through the fire
when there’s nothing left to say
it’s like chasing the very last train
when it’s too late, too late
you can’t play our broken strings
you can’t feel anything
that your heart don’t want to feel
i can’t tell you something that ain’t real
oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
how can i give anymore
when i love you a little less than before?
but we’re running through the fire
when there’s nothing left to say
it’s like chasing the very last train
when it’s too late, too late
you can’t play our broken strings
you can’t feel anything
that your heart don’t want to feel
i can’t tell you something that ain’t real
oh, the truth hurts and lies worse
how can i give anymore
when i love you a little less than before?
oh, you know that i love you a little less than before
let me hold you for the last time
it’s the last chance to feel again

it’s funny because my singapore trip so far has been really interesting (: deep conversations with mummy, yet with a little conflict in between. my schedule’s alr half-full, so book me quick if you want to meet!
whenever i meet someone, i’ll go:
1. i’m perfectly healthy
2. i do not have any flu-like symptoms
3. don’t worry!
which is hilarious to me but not so hilarious to the person listening to it, haha.
in all honesty though, i think singapore is overreacting to the entire h1n1 situation. dr lee weiling was right, it’ll eventually become a normal flu. yes, perhaps it’s relatively new and its spread is quite fast, but otherwise it’s just like getting the normal flu. i doubt the government would want to quarantine those down with the normal influenza.
was quite surprised when they were taking everyone’s temperature outside fcbc (i went alone because someone didn’t wake up). but it’s all in the name of social responsibility i guess.
visiting fcbc turned out to be a surprise because i really enjoyed the service! pastor lawrence khong is really quite amusing at times, and he’s honest too. ministry time was awesome! could really feel God’s presence and He’s really moving in a big way in singapore.
the last time i was at max pavilion, planetshakers was playing at ultraviolet (: and i never imagined that i would be part of such a huge service, and it was at first really unnerving to be alone in a hall with 10,000 people. the usher was really nice though and found me a seat in front of a screen. it’s really amazing to see not one, but two huge churches in singapore at expo on a sunday.
and after church, i had my teochew steamed fish i’ve been talking about since the beginning of time. plus quality time with dad too. (:
back to the whole swine flu thing though… on the flip side, the brumby government is underreacting to the entire situation in my opinion. but oh well.
finally going to get a haircut tmr! my hair is like a mop, can’t wait to get it sorted out. and we’re also going for a yummy lunch and i’m meeting louis for jap food for dinner. we always have jap food whenever i’m back. (:
the heat is a little unbearable in jeans, but otherwise pretty tolerable. it isn’t sweltering… yet.
gonna bring the dslr out tmr too. not sure what to name it… any suggestions? ;)
wednesday’s gonna be my “vivo chill day”. sitting at starbucks overlooking sentosa with a book in one hand and iced caramel macchiato in the other, and walking around my favourite shopping centre. yay!
haha my mum just said (in hakka, no less), “wah this trip you’re back, you’re more naggy than i am! i thought i was naggy because i’m the mother…” role reversal much? hahahah.
broken strings by james morrison and nelly furtado has been stuck in my head since last thursday night. i’m super tempted to find guitar chords to learn it or something. muahaha.
okay, i’ll update again soon!
much love (:
xoxo
