Listen to the rythm of the falling rain

It has been raining non-stop these few days, but I'm loving the rain and the cold weather. It does bring out the Christmas atmosphere, and I was just thinking to myself on my way home yesterday, how nice it would be if the rain drops were snow. I would definitely love to spend a white Christmas, and one of my wishes right now is to spend Christmas with my loved one(s) (be it my significant other or my family) in Britain (yeah I guess Love Actually has influenced me quite a bit, and I wanna go to Britain right now.)

Some people are just not contented, aren't they? They complain that it doesn't snow in Singapore, yet when they come across cold weather like how we are experiencing now, they complain that it's too cold. If you can't even appreciate the cold weather now, how would you be able to withstand the freezing winter temperatures? People are weird; they are never contented. Whatever it is, these few cold nights have made sleeping really enjoyable and sweet. I don't have to turn on the air-conditioner (fan mode) anymore; just open the windows and the God-given wind is sufficient.

And shux.. I watched Love Actually again. 4th time and counting...

I'll probably just get the DVD if it's cheap.

TTFN~!

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

Alright, new movie coming out next year! (Rather slow though, cuz the USA will be releasing it BEFORE Christmas. Would be nicer to watch it before Christmas)

The Tim Burton and Johnny Depp duo never failed in making good movies, so I hope this is one of them. Oh, we even have casts from Harry Potter! [Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter), Peter Pettigrew (Beadle Bamford)]

Set in the Victorian ages with very gothic make-up and costumes, this is one movie that should not be missed! It's rather funny though, Depp was the good Edward Scissorhand, and now he's a rather deranged barber. The only difference is what they cut. Oh well... this is getting lame. :p By the way, this is a musical, so let's hope Depp sings well, or else it will totally spoil the show.

It better be good.

Love Actually

Many people I know love this scene from the movie. I have about 3 people in my contact list who used the message as their MSN nickname.

Honestly, I do like this part too, but I feel more sad than enamoured whenever I watch this scene. Putting Karl and Sarah aside, this is probably the next heartbreaking part of the movie.

Many thoughts and feelings inevitably fill me when and after I watch this movie. But I still love it just the same.

"My wasted heart will love you"

Enough, enough now..

In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone
Words and Music by Keith Getty & Stuart Townend

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all—
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine—
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death—
This is the pow'r of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home—
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

Love Actually, again.

"Because I thought it would have been something worse!"

"Worse than the total agony of being in love..."

-speechless-
"Ah. Right. The total agony"

Let me echo that..
Right... the total agony.

Love Actually Is All Around

(I posted one entry on this and it didn't appear. Now I have to type everything again)

Watching Love Actually brought me into the mood of Christmas, which is good I guess. It's a great show, but it's rather cliche isn't it? Everyone suddenly has the courage to confess to their significant other (except for Sarah and Karl that is). And is "and at christmas you tell the truth" justifiable? Can't you tell someone you love him/her on any other day?

Alright, that was the cynical side of me talking. Let the gushy and wishful side of me speak now.

Love Actually actually is a really sweet movie. Of cos, I wish someone could tell me he/she loves me on Christmas (who wouldn't?). The couples are really sweet in the film. Jamie traveling all the way to Marseille to propose and tell Aurelia how much he means to her, Mark telling Juliet that she's perfect to him even though her heart now belongs to someone else, and even little Sam who went all the way to the airport to confess his love to Joanna, not letting the opportunity slip off his hands. Awww..

Alright. "Enough, enough now."

If I had the courage of a lion, I'd probably do the same.

But nah, imma coward. Haha :p

Daughtry - Over You

Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.

I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.

Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.

I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

I know I've put this up before, but I am seriously addicted to this song for quite some time now. I have to listen to it before I sleep, and somehow it automatically plays in my head at times. I guess the day I get sick of this song will be the day I safely can say "I got over you".

*shrugs* oh well.

Whatever. Daughtry's voice is just so heart-melting. I wonder how he'd sound singing a ballad or sentimental song.

TTFN~!

P.s: I still can't bear to leave blogger for Multiply. ROAR!

Love is All Around - Wet Wet Wet

I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
Love is all around me
And so the feeling grows

It’s written on the wind
It’s everywhere I go, oh yes it is
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

You know I love you
I always will
My mind’s made up
By the way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love
You can depend

I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I kinda get to thinking
Of all the things you said, oh yes I did
You gave your promise to me
And I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me
In everything I do, oh yes I do

You know I love you
I always will
My mind’s made up
By the way that I feel
There’s no beginning
There’ll be no end
‘Cause on my love
You can depend

Ooh, it’s written in the wind
And where I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show

Murder

Holidays are seriously killing me.

Opposite of Divide

Okay, my Multiply is on its way to birth. Finally figured a way to add a tagboard, so I'm gonna abandon Blogger anytime soon. =p

One more thing

Oh I forgot to say something in my previous post. I saw spiderman on the 42km marathon! I'm serious! I think he's an old man, but he was probably taking part in the Runspiration fancy dress competition, hence the costume. I take my hat off him though.. I wonder how he breathes through that mask of his.

Marathon

Feeling super exhausted from the Standard Chartered Marathon. No, I'm not a runner (though I might consider taking part next year :p), but I was busy pouring water into cups for the runners. Easy? Not when a crowd of runners just keep coming towards the cups and carelessly grabbings cups, spilling water all over. The African runners were super pro. Finished the whole course within 3 hours. The News said that there were two separate marathons - local and international. No wonder we see no Singaporean shadow initially.

Tired tired tired. December has started and for the very first time in my life, I'm dreading December.

TTFN~!

I promise...

That it will not be rekindled...
