Blue Eyes Blue

I thought that you'd be loving me.
I thought you were the one who'd stay forever.
But now forever's come and gone
And Im still here alone.

Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.

It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you who made the tears fall down.
It was you who broke my heart in pieces.
It was you, it was you who made my blue eyes blue.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

I thought that I'd be all you need.
In your eyes I thought I saw my heaven.
And now my heavens gone away
And I'm out in the cold.

Cause you had me believing,
You had me believing in a lie.
Guess I couldnt see it,
I guess I couldnt see it till I saw goodbye.

Chorus
Cause you were only playing,
You were only playing with my heart.
I was never waiting,
I was never waiting for the tears to start.
It was you who put the clouds around me.
It was you.

Chorus
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.
Oh, I never should have trusted you.

-The Great Eric Clapton

When & Why

When will we ever learn that studies isn't the most important thing in life?
When will we ever learn that money isn't what makes the world go round?
And learn to cherish the people who love us the most.

Why do we always make life so difficult for ourselves and other people?
God made it simple for us.

Some things in this world really make me very sad.

Balancing Act

I really admire those women that wear those crazy heels on the train and don't need to hold anything for support.

They are amazing.

I can barely balance in my shoes...

Only Time will tell.

Now, how should I start this.

The week started with replies from what seems like a million miles and many time zones away. Some emails brought good news, others not so good news. As for the good news, I managed to get a place in UCL for pure econs and another for econs and stats. I'm kind of glad, but I'll see how things go in the next few months before coming to a decision. My dad sure did make studying overseas sound alot more fun than staying here, but my decision will be based on the economy and maybe some other factors that may pop up along the way. I also recently got an email from Mr. Trifon! Pretty cool eh? He asked us to contact him if we decide to go take part in the aussie champs. But yes, all these depend on PRECIOUS LEAVE and form. As for the bad news, LSE rejected me flat! I'm not what they're looking for I guess, ah well. It was worth a try...

Our new coach also arrived over the weekend. Coach Balaz Babella. He's pretty famous actually, winning the world and european k4 200m championships twice. He went to beijing as a reserve and it's fantastic that he's here to teach us and hopefully bring us up to the world stage. Suddenly, the team's organised again and motivation is finally high. There's still so much to learn from him to improve our individual ability. Nice to meet you coach!

As for tomorrow, there's a timetrial for SEACC. It's quite stressful actually. Only the top boat will qualify for the team. Hopefully Jori and myself will be able to pull something special out of the bag tomorrow...we're actually quite worried.

Oh well,
Tough times don't last, tough men do.

Class of 2007 Reunion

Michelle's Photo album read: "one year on, how are you?" Can you believe it? Exactly 1 year ago we were all damn smart! (Of course there's still some smart ones now lah) By the looks of things, everyone's doing fine.

It was great to see everyone together again :D
