First time I heard this song was at a close friend's wedding...
Ordinary Miracle - Sarah McLachlan
It's not that unusual
When everything is beautiful
It's just another ordinary miracle today
The sky knows when it's time to snow
Don't need to teach a seed to grow
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Life is like a gift, they say
Wrapped up for you everyday
Open up and find a way
To give some of your own
Isn't it remarkable?
Like everytime a raindrop falls
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Birds in winter have their fling
Will always make it home by spring
It's just another ordinary miracle today
When you wake up everyday
Please don't throw your dreams away
Hold them close to your heart
'Cause we're all part of the ordinary miracle
Ordinary miracle
Do you want to see a miracle?
It seems so exceptional
That things just work out after all
It's just another ordinary miracle today
Sun comes up and shine so bright
And disappears again at night
It's just another ordinary miracle today
It's just another ordinary miracle today
~Have you found your ordinary miracle today?~
~wanted to blog about this since Sat but never got to sit down and pen it down...~
Venue: Marina Square DBS ATM machine outside Kbox
Time: between 5-6pm
Characters: Me - thinking to myself(M), Female stranger (FS) and Male stranger (MS)
Scenario: I was queueing up to withdraw money from the ATM. It was a long queue, in a rather crowded area. A young couple joined in the queue behind me...
I was staring into space when suddenly, I heard a female voice behind me....
FS: 你知道什么country的名字start with 'K' 的吗？
M: Kenya..hmmm....Korea?
MS: 有这样的country meh?
FS: *giggle* 有！！你想想看啦。
M: c'mon...it's not that difficult...i've thought of 2!
After a silent period of about 10 seconds...
MS: 想不到啦。 是什么？
FS: *giggle giggle* 我知道有一个 - kua ate
MS: 什么国家来的?
M (trying very hard not to grin or laugh)： omg.....is she talking about KUWAIT?
FS: 不知道在哪里啦，最近有打战的。
M (starting to lose control and begins to grin to myself): ok...she is talking about Kuwait...
MS: 是哦？怎样spell？
FS: K-W-A-T-E.
M (good thing it was noisy enough to cover up my snickering): WTH!?!
MS: 哦.......你很厉害嘞！
FS: *giggling*
M (shaking head to self): 这样叫厉害？Kuwait 念错了，连 spelling 都错了！！*faint*
~what is happening to our youngsters?!~

~送给最能忍受我，最包容我，也最常让我啼笑皆非的朋友~
一个像夏天一个像秋天 - 范玮琪
哦哦~~~~~ 哦哦~~~~~
yeah~~yeah~~
第一次见面看你不太顺眼
谁知道后来关系那么密切
我们一个象夏天一个像秋天
却总能把冬天变成了春天
你驮我离开一场爱的风雪
我背你逃出一次梦的锻炼
遇见一个人然后生命全改变
原来不是恋爱才有的情节
如果不是你 我不会相信朋友比情人还死心塌地
就算我忙恋爱
把你冷冻结冰
你也不会恨我 只是骂我几句
如果不是你 我不会确定
朋友比情人更懂得倾听
我的弦外之音
我的有口无心
我离不开darling更离不开你
你了解我所有得意的东西
才常泼我冷水怕我忘形
你知道我所有丢脸的事情
却为我的美好形象保密
如果不是你 我不会相信
朋友比情人还死心塌地
就算我忙恋爱
把你冷冻结冰
你也不会恨我 只是骂我几句
如果不是你 我不会确定
朋友比情人更懂得倾听
我的弦外之音
我的有口无心
我离不开darling更离不开你
哦哦~~~~~ 哦哦~~~~~
yeah~~yeah~~
~朋友，你知道我说的就是你吗？~
there are days like today, when i am awfully envious of sanguines...
who can easily forget the hurt and pain of yesterday...
moving on to the next fun thing in life...
there are days like today, when i am awfully envious of cholerics...
who marches on to the next project...
powering through the ups and downs of life..
there are days like today, when i am awfully envious of phlegmatics...
who sits back and relaxes while the world goes by...
floating around but still getting on with life...
there are days like today, when i am melancholic about being a melancholic...
because the mere sight of a photo makes me ache inside..
the memories still remains vivid, like i am still living in them...
the 'what-ifs' and 'if-onlys' become too much to bear...
and then all of a sudden, i find myself drowning in my own despair...
not to the point of tears, just that heart-wrenching emptiness within...
reaching out, grasping onto whatever reality offers...
desperately trying to pull myself out of this whirlpool of memories...
feels like i have lost so much, that it could have been so much better...
that i should be the one smiling and laughing, not quivering with the need to run..
to run far far away...
yet how far can i run from myself?
they stay with me...no matter how much i try to shake it off, lock it up, hide it away...
sensitized to the merest touch of a distant past...
even if it's like a wisp of cotton wool,
it cuts into me like a butcher's knife.
~suddenly wish i have amnesia, so that i no longer remember~

One-liners to break the monotonous day...
A thing not worth doing isn't worth doing well.
Hard work never killed anyone, but why chance it?
If a thing is worth doing, it would have been done already.
Ham and Eggs: A day's work for a chicken; A lifetime commitment for a pig.
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die
It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere.
Is reading in the bathroom considered multi-tasking?
Seen it all. Done it all. Can't remember most of it.
Why do bankruptcy lawyers expect to be paid?
Love may be blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener.
Borrow money from pessimists- they don't expect it back.
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
Everyone has a photographic memory, some just don't have film.
A bartender is just a pharmacist with a limited inventory.
Consciousness: That annoying time between naps.
Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
A day without radiation is a day without sunshine.
Doesn't expecting the unexpected make the unexpected become the expected?
If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?
If evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve
