Wonderfully Simple

"The bright sunny day; the dark sacred night."

Ok now... lemme recount the dinner after the movie that day.

So, The Matrix: Revolutions left most of us dumbfounded, either due to the impressive (albeit excessive) visual effects, or owing to the complexity of the movie, which spilled over from the 2 previous episodes. But of course, there was no distracting us from our hunger pangs, which were getting increasingly frequent, so the discussion over the movie had to take a backseat. I brought most of them to Fish & Co. over at Park Mall to wait for seats, while Leon went to the MRT to ferry those coming specifically for the dinner only. Alas, the original plan wasn't to be, as the waiter told us we had to wait for an hour. An hour mind you. A company of hungry vagrants with no food. Just great.

Well fortunately for us, Winston suggested BBoss over at Istana Park, which was just nearby, and he said that there were seats, so obviously we straggled there (pardon the exaggerations lol), our hands circling our stomachs in a smooth, rhythmic motion. The dinner had begun, heralded by our dearest form teacher, Mr Heng. The food was quite good, and the prices were agreeable, but the portions were not very suitable for me =x I ended up ordering 2 main courses haha... So we ate and talked, talked and ate, sharing with the others the various events that had occured over the course of 1 year. It was fun.

Oh well... so after that some of us headed to LJS to further fill our stomachs (not me though). So we talked EVEN more haha... and well... some of us started to go into more personal stuff... the air took on a more serious persona... but I shan't go into detail about this. It's personal after all.

That pretty much marked the end of the day... some conveniently went over to SSC to play pool while the rest went home. Fancy meeting my friend at the MRT though haha. Overall I'd say the gathering went pretty well... but not everyone wanted to go -.-'

The holidays have been heckuva... BORING! Sheesh! I want to go out but no one else wants to -.- So I'm stuck at home, with only my lifeless computer to accompany me through these dreary days... What a wonderful holiday. Duh. No mood to start on the holiday assignments either. I need a life haha.

Some of my friends have been having troubles lately... not just happenstances... but big troubles... I pray that everything may be alright, though deep down I know, that things aren't as simple as I would wish them to be. Lord, please help them through this dark time, and I pray that you empower them with divine strength so that they may carry on.

Ain't No Mountain High Enough

There ain't no mountain
There ain't no river
That's gonna keep me away from loving you
There ain't no valley, no there ain't nothing
That's gonna keep me away from you

Ain't no mountain, ain't no river, ain't no valley
Listen baby

Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no river wide enough baby
If you need me call
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry, worry

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough'
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me
From that day on
I've made a mind
I'll be back when you want, some way, somehow

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough'
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

If you need me (I need you)

And I'll be there in a hurry
On that you can depend
No need to worry
'Cause you see darling
There ain't no mountain high enough
There ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

Ain't no mountain high enough (oh yeah)
Ain't no valey low enough (ooh)

To keep me from you
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valey low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from you

Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough'
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
