Tethered




So we're back here again
Tip toeing round the edge of the end
Wondering who will be last to admit
That we're finally over

Turned twenty one on the day that we met
Terrible shoes and plausible dress
It's funny how sad the funny things get as you grow older

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?

I love the art of biting my tongue
I'm tired of trying to guess what was wrong
Both agreed on where we should go
But not how to get there

We tried and tried to loosen the knots
Thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off
But it's these failures and faults that hold us together

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo
Together we're one but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

Cause real love
Is hard love
It's all we have
It's a break make train wreck
It's all we have

So we're back here again
Turning away from the edge of the end
Arm in arm

Better or worse
But what else can we do?
And better or worse
I am tethered to you
If it's not either of us
Tell me who are we fooling?
This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue
It's a beautiful knot we just can't undo
If it's not either of us, tell me who are we fooling?
Together we're one, but apart tell me
Who are we fooling?

So its CNY. How fast time flies.

Tmr is saturday and around noon some old friends of my parents and their kids are coming over, we the kids do know each relatively well I guess, having seen each other from young and all being around the same age haha. After that peeps from DI are popping over and that would be fun fun fun. Excited for tmr =).

At the same time though, im kinda afraid, at just how fast everything is zooming by. Inside Out wasnt too long ago. Korea trip wasnt too long ago (the blog post pointers are still on my desktop lol, transferred over to my new comp and still there). Start of school, and now its February. Soon enough it will be midyears, then prelims, and finally the dreaded IBDP examinations.

Oh darn, that thing intimidates me -.-.

Its really fast paced. Syllabus is going fast paced too, project work piling in and im barely keeping up. Partially im doubly afraid this CNY season because World Lit outline and TOK essay draft is due this coming week and I havnt got much. Im banking on sunday to do one and monday for the other, and I think I can do it for World Lit but im not sure about the TOK essay =/. Its funny, IB makes me feel bad that over the past two days of holiday I have 'only done one math ws and read one lit book'. Duddeeee I shouldnt even be doing work AT ALL.

Aside from that, I intended to finish my EE draft too but guess I got caught up in the celebratory spirit of CNY heh. Long time since I could actually sit down and watch a random tv program that isnt part of my usual watch (WA MENG TI) and just enjoy it without feeling guilty about slacking off. Come to think of it, even watching ai is quite planned for me because the only reason I watch it is that it coincides with my dinner time and I dont even follow it that closely because it doenst really matter if you miss an episode. I bet they'll take five episodes to find wawa. Ai is like dragonball Z of the chinese drama world.

I went to play wc3 campaign founding of durator too haha. I refused to download garena into my comp so I'll make do with that heh.

Mmm. Year 6 is killer. Gotta trust God to see me through all the way man.

Wahhahahaha. Thirty five Brooke Fraser tracks (well, I can't say 'song'. Epilogue isnt a song its some cool ending to C S Lewis song that I just found today heh). I dont usually create a folder in my 'my music' folder on my comp just for one artist and I havnt done so in the past few years till today =p.
