Teenage Life
by Daz Sampson

Now hear this

"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life

"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

Dwelling on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and trying to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams
Man they couldn't save me
Cos my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
Teenage kicks running out what could we do
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal
So everyone could see
Sunshine and shade
Those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new
Just friends running together
But suddenly school ends
Your teenage life gone
All your mates are growing up now
They're moving on
And now I'm looking back
I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher?
No I don't think so

"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand
Do they
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

Now if you treat the kids fine, together they will shine
Ooh ooh ooh shine
And if you give the kids time, they won't do the crime
Won't do the crime

Now my bad old ways
Were during my school days
Messing on those grade A's
My life is just a haze
I'm going through the struggle
Five ten and kicking back
So I could lock my flow
Lace it up now on the track
Oh yeh I felt the pain
Whilst chasing all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothing
Just a player in the game
But now I walk tall
Stand proud for you to see
I'm driving these fast cars
It's five stars for me

"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say
But they don't know
Don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice
Saying "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long since they had a teenage life

i've just updated my computer. windows live messenger, windows media player 11 beta and internet explorer 7 beta 3.

everything looks so cool! you guys should download these beta versions. i mean, once you downloaded one, it clashes with the old versions. so (and this is how i ended up with everything updated) you would then go download the latest of this..then that...and everything is updated!

IE 7 is super duper whack-out cool man! there's this thing called "tabs" where you can open several pages within a browser. i don't know if other browsers like firefox offer that, if they do that's cool but if they don't i can safely say IE 7 is THE best.

although it does have a lot of problems. but whatever.

WMP 11, in terms of functions, isn't very different. but it looks cool. same goes for WLM. they just look pretty. and you can change the colour of the messenger. but that's all. i haven't really explored.

right now i'm trying to figuyre out how to make pop-ups.

i'm going fill this blog with irritating pop-ups!

okay just kiding. no i'm not doing that. it's crazy. but i want to know how to make one.

have you ever heard click 5 songs on perfect 10? they always play this thing " hey singapore we're the click 5!" before playing the song.

always makes me think it's hi-5, not click 5. lol.

youtube is apparently down. can't seem to get in.

well nevermind. as blue as i am now, i'm putting in lyrics of a very colourful songs. lovely, lovely song.

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
You can sing one too!

Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your eyes,
And sing everything you see.
You can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a long with me.

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue.
You can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Now you've sung one too!

cute, ain't it?

rewinding brain...

thursday: i have band. i hate band. but since band is over now, i don't hate band. =)

friday: band performance @ concord primary. good. nothing to say.

i've been seriously tired these few days. but i thank the Lord for giving me strength to go through all the training and performances and whatever. and homework and school.

thank you Lord!

and today. had the same performance today, in the morning. then went present shopping with lijie, then today service.

service was great. had Dr. Roob Thompson and he was wonderful. i went on stage you know.

*GASP!*

cos the pastor brought along this african guy who asked for 20+ people to go on stage and i got ushered up by the usher.

lol. but my BELOVED, DEAR, W391 DIDN'T SEE ME.

okay shan't take all the glory. jin yu went up too. for the first time, he was enthusiastic about something and i wasn't.

went home after that.

i was thinking about something, when i was bathing.

i have set the standards and i shall follow them.

i have compiled the rules and i shall obey them.

i have envisioned the dreams and i shall achieve them.

nothing will distract me; i will be of discipline.

****

well like i was saying these few days i was so tired, i went around with red eyes.

how come nobody told me hmm? anyway, this optrex eye drops work wonders. my eyes got better. they feel better too.

i decided i will not complain anymore in this blog. i mean, it's not your problem anyway.

heeheehee.

been thinking about this song. love it!

A Thousand Miles
by Vanessa Carlton
Making my way downtown
walking fast, faces pass
and I'm homebound
staring blankly ahead
just making my way, making a wave
through the crowd
and I need you
and I miss you
and now I wonder

if I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by
cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you tonight

it's always times like these when I think of you
and I wonder if you ever think of me
cuz everything's so wrong and I don't belong
living in your precious memory
cuz I need you
and I miss you
and now I wonder

if I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by
oh, cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you tonight

I, I don't wanna let you know
I, I drown in your memory
I, I don't wanna let this go
I, I don't ...

Making my way downtown
walking fast
faces pass and I'm homebound
staring blankly ahead
just making my way, making a wave
through the crowd
and I still need you
and I still miss you
and now I wonder

if I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass us by
cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you...

if I could fall into the sky
do you think time would pass me by
cuz you know I'd walk a thousand miles
if I could just see you...
if I could just hold you tonight

if he has this song, i am fully gonna burst.

this doesn't feel like school days to me. more like a pastime, going to bukit batok street 11 or something everyday, wherever my school is located.

let's start from...last week. hectic week. finally finished all my STUPID(must scold it. gave me so much trouble) homework on friday, while Yusoffian Idol was going on.

if you ask me it's a whole bunch of bullshit.

but the winner, i'm sorry i still don't remember your name, is pretty good. what i pity is that this is just plain YI Idol, not SG Idol. poor thing.

try at the next SGI auditions. honestly i think you'll do very well.

went to service one saturday. i hate going to hall 1. thank goodness it was our last week. walking from foyer 3 to hall one is like walking from school back home.

well it's a little more enjoyable cos there's air-conditioning along the way. phew.

sunday. went to this cute little place in chinatown to eat desserts. they have this mango and pomelo dessert. its superlicious. i wanna go there again, sometime. and it's pretty convenient. take a train down to chinatown station.

okay maybe not so convenient.

monday is youth day. i don't know what to feel about this day.

went to to plaza singapura with shaun, a friend from TU, and his friends by order of appearance jerome, yuan ting and yibin.

the last 3 are a little, what i call...different. from me.

felt a little out. but then they were really friendly.

i reached PS half an hour early. it's a good thing. i'm usually late. and the others don't know i'm the late kind of person so they may get pissed waiting.

while waiting i strolled about PS. pretty cool. the last time i went was a couple of years back.

we watched superman at the cathay, a stone throw away form PS. i love the cathay! big, comfy, spacey!

you know why i don't know what to feel about this day?

i feel happy, exhilarated, yet annoyed, irritated, extra.

nevermind.

today. i LOVE tuesdays. lessons end at 1.10 pm, a period earlier. and usually the last period is assembly but today we had class interaction. which actually means, for my class, do whatever you want so long as you don't make a lot of noise.

had to go to NP for some "open house". i don't know what to call it.

pretty interesting. but how come my group didn't get to go to the business school? it's the only school i want to go to!

whatever. anyway, i think i have enough of schools in the west. i want to take a look at temasek poly. far, yes, but they were the pioneers of the tourism and resort management course. and they have a school in sentosa. and...

well lijie says if she didn't go JC she would go Tp for tourism. i'm telling you, the chances of her going to JC out of 10 is 9.999999999. so most probably i won't be going to TP cos she ain't going.

i mean, i'm not going to sit in the train alone all the way to tampines!

IF YOU UNDERSTAND, SAY "UNDERSTAND"

IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, SAY "DON'T UNDERSTAND"

IF YOU UNDERSTAND BUT SAY "DON'T UNDERSTAND",

aiya i don't remember.

we did this recording thing at the com lab today, had to record us reading tongue twisters. this one is stupid. i only remember it ends with UNDERSTAND?

understand, understand...

lijie. you are supposed to be online. she said something really cheeky today.

lijie: so who's picture are you going to show me online?

min: got 2. one is **** and the other is ***

lijie: so one is more handsome and the other is ugly lah?

min: no, one is handsome and the other not so handsome!

lijie: so why don't you just show me the handsome one lah?

min: *stunned*

naughty pussy ljie! you are very bad! you are cheeky and naughty! naughty pussy lijie!

i hate vivid verbs. and ***.
