AH AH AHHHHHHHH!!! I finally found the song that had been stuck in my head for the past week.

It's 'Drive By' by Train!

HewF! It's not easy to find a song (even with google search) when all you remember about the song are the 'Oh' and 'Ah ah ah' parts in the chorus.Which turns out that they weren't 'ah's at all!

Check it out!

This is the 2nd US-Pop song that I got addicted to. The first was 'Good girl' by Carrie Underwood.

I've always thought my taste for singers and songs were top notch. Like how I spotted Taylor Swift in 2006 (okay that wasn't really me, I was introduced to her, but hey! I did recognize her potential then!) and IU since her debut in 2008. However, it came as a shock when both recent songs listed above didn't hit No.1 spot in the billboards as I'd expected. Oh I swear to you, it aint nothing wrong with my artistic sense. I guess I'm shrewdly rebelling against the current mainstream trends of pop. You'll see..

She wandered far infront as I obnoxiously tailed behind her. Moments later she skipped into a bend. It must have been pure luck to sniffed out the devil that easily. How dangerous is a women's sixth sense!
To my surprise, she smiled as she turned to look back. Why has that particular frame of her freeze in my mind?  Have I accelerated faster than time? No I have not, quite the opposite. I stood firmly as she came closer, way too close..  The light breeze carried her hair far enough for a few strands to playfully flirt with my lips. Before, I could barely taste the sweetness of the touch, they gently slid down my face and back onto her shoulders. Throughout the entire time, my eyes were fixated on this pleasantly pretty face. She was cute. Ponytailed wearing a striking red cap, like those avid baseball fan if you know what I mean.


She spoke in a foreign accent, American? I couldn't guess.. but it's definitely not local.
'Hi there! Do you know where's the nearest MRT station?' she asked politely.
It struck me hard. I truly regretted that very moment for not investing in a smartphone with googlemaps or heeding my mum's advice to recognize the Singapore streets. I couldn't answer, and told her that we could look for it together. She nodded in agreement.

I walked ahead, desperately wrecking my brain for a decent pickup line. Silence fell upon us as we walked between deserted temples and through abandoned buildings. It wasn't long before she told me she would head back and find an alternative route. Well okay? What more of a loser could I have shown then? As she walked on, she turned and wished me Good luck! I copied the response. -.-"

As I continued moving forward, it wasn't long before I spotted the SMRT logo.

AH we should've exchanged numbers so that one could contact the other if we found a way out. WHY didn't I think of that..?

I never saw her again..  Would I never see her again..?

If a man has talent and cannot use it, he has failed.

If he has talent and uses only half, he has partly failed.

If he has talent and learns somehow to use the whole of it, he has gloriously succeeded,
and won a satisfaction and a triumph few men ever know

-Thomas Wolfe

I've been reading more and more quotation books, and it really got me wondering how smart some people are at crafting their sentences. More often than not, I find myself conversing in an awfully plain and predictable language. I wouldn't say it's unintelligent, it's just plain.. boring.. Gone were the puns and the sarcasm, hidden meanings and flowery vocabulary. Pitiful,

In addition,dramas have constantly fueled such thoughts. Sometimes I wonder when will my interactions be as interesting as the Big Bang theory or Madmen. Just be awed at the superb dialogues! And it's not just about speech-crafting, the content is equally important as well. Recently, there were a couple of engagements with Mr.Wu, Sims and Hee that were pretty thought-provoking. I'm not sure if my brain has gone bland or that I couldn't match their knowledge, sometimes I just lost them altogether and dumbly nod in 'agreement', hoping my eyes wouldn't give me away.

Anyway, whoever is reading this, please pray for me, for I've been clouded by my selfish ambitions. :(
