*Mad Season*

I feel stupid - but I know it won't last for long
I've been guessing - and I coulda been guessin' wrong
You don't know me now
I kinda thought that you should somehow
Does that whole mad season got ya down?

I feel stupid, but it's something that comes and goes
I've been changin' - I think it's funny how now one knows
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around

So why you gotta stand there
Looking like the answer now?
It seems to me you'd come around
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

I feel stupid, but I think I been catchin' on
I feel ugly, but I know I still turn you on
You've grown colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around
Will that whole mad season knock you down?

So are you gonna stand there
Are you gonna help me out?
We need to be together now
I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken, though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

And now I'm cryin'
Isn't that what you want?
I'm tryin' to live my life on my own
But I won't, no,
At times I do believe I am strong
So someone tell me why, why, why
Do I, I, I feel stupid
And I come undone
And I come undone

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - that I'm lost and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken

I need you now
Do you think you can cope?
You figured me out - I'm a child and I'm hopeless
I'm bleeding and broken though I've never spoken
I come undone in this mad season

In this mad season
There's been a mad season
Been a mad season

Back in Cambridge now. back to cobblestones. back to small streets where I can walk everywhere. back to quaint small shops. back to sandwiches, panini, ciabbata, scones & tea. best of all, back to my own little room. *smiles*

Summer was glorious. Things were done, old friends were met, new friends were made, places were explored. experiences are varied and feelings yo-yoed from one end to the other end. Summer felt like a dream and now I have snapped back to reality.

*SMILES*

All things S'porean.

Spent 5 days there and it was AN ABSOLUTE BLAST!!

Food-wise: was glorious! bet you s'poreans didn't get that compliment much, esp fr a penangite at that ;) Haha, they have the weirdest stuff e.g. colourful bread ice-cream, unagi chee cheong fun, durian glutinous rice ball, durian pancakes and durian everything. Not forgetting Katong Laksa *yum* Fusion, fusion all the way and imagination and creativity And package apparently goes a loooong way. Went to NYDC and loved it!! Their desserts e.g. mudpies, funny cakes- B3, Goldmine Cheesecake etc.

To quote Suiseng, I am a glutton. *blush*

Shopping-wise: Ah well, being the glutton that I was I didn't have enough money left over for much shopping. Just bought 3 items..one of them my Superstar!! hahahaha that's my Best buy ever *grin* went to Queensway and browsed through SO many shops and finally found my Superstar! Though now, I am still dreaming about that particular pair of shoes and dress which I didn't buy. ;)

The BEST thing of all is WOMAD!
We just shook our rumps' all night..hahaha the loud, shake-your-boogie music, the live bands and the hot lead singer

Random quotes:

Tip on how to be a girl fr Suiseng: Girls cannot eat faster than their male counterparts and also never to proclaim that they are hungry. It doesn't reflect nicely on them. Trick is to eat until you are quite full before you go on Dates. *rolls eyes*

He is a total MCP! *male chauvinist pig*

that shoes is So AA. *attracting attention*

That person has an AP. *attitude problem*

PH anyone? *public holiday*

hahahaha, So many short-forms for so many common words. People say it, the words are written on notice boards.. everything is shortened! I wonder if it has anything to do with the lack of space in SG. ;)

There are so many stereotypes in Singapore just like every other place except that theirs also extend to the schools. Different schools produce students with a certain look or certain demeanour. I never could understand this whislt I was in Cambridge and everyone is trying to guess everyone else's alma mater. hahaha but being in Singapore and seeing the students in their respective uniforms and such and tons of explaining by Shanci and Alvin, i think i might have an idea. heh.. But the idea that a school will churn out students of a certain, recognizable demenour is quite disturbing to me haha..coming from M'sia.

It was an awesome time, truly ;)

Thanks Shanci esp for bringing me arnd everywhere and of course the bed-sharing ;)mwahs!

Thank you Alvin, Stephanie, Kah Yong, Herman, Heather, Chris!!!
