inspired by the want t skydive someday / Thursday, August 31, 2006
the other day i was watching this program about what happened on 9/11, on the national geographic channel. and they talked about how some people rather jump down from the twin towers and die than suffer the burning hell inside. and how everytime they heard a bang, they knew that someone jumped/fell down and died. then they said this guy tried to make a rope out of his suit jacket but he slipped, fell and died. then i was like, the rope is too short lah... and then the next thought came and i was hey, if there were parachutes in the buildings, they could just jump out and PLOOF! and lan alive.. maybe a lil' injured but at least it wouldn't be like BAM!.. and oh no! a man just died! *cries*
seriously, they should make some architect rule when building a skyscraper that is like more than 40 storeys high, there should be a parachute given for every person who enters.. like how a ship has life boats/vests.. except in titanic there were too little..
9/11 would've been less tragic if there were parachutes.
today a lot of schools in singapore celebrated cher's day.. why i didn't put it on my calander, because there is no cher's day here. there's no school to take a break from.. blah. man, i miss rgps..
cheerio!

how to save a life - the fray / Monday, August 28, 2006
Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came
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
And pray to God he hears you
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
As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and 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
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
