q told me he swam 2k earlier in the day and dared me to do the same. so i did.
i went to bv pool since the nus pool was still closed, and swam and swam and swam. i usually just swim the most 1k but heck, the leo in me wanted to prove something. went for a pee break at the 1.4km mark and thought of giving up, but 600m more wouldnt kill, and it didnt. happy.

i think i'm annoying. i try too hard. till the point that i degrade myself to this miserable stupid worthless desperado who dont have any dignity to even face up to my own shadow. so .. with all due respect, i take a bow. on and off, on and off. as and when. whims and fancies. needs and wants. take care luv, call me, u know my number. deal?

i've been thinking of coming up with my own top10 lists for the longest time. u know, my top 10 songs, movies, books etc of all time. but these things, u dont just sit down and decide your list and that's THAT. its a lengthy process cos u've got to think through millions of stuff, adding and taking items off the list as you go along cos sometimes a song might pop up and u decide, hey this is MUCH better than the one in my list, so u strike off one song that just barely made it there. i'll start off my my top 10 songs ever. wont be complete though and wont be in any particular order. check back often. i'll move this list to somewhere static soon.

1) always on your side - sheryl crow
"my yesterdays are all boxed up, and neatly put away. but every now and then you come to mind"
poignant. the first 2 lines sets the tone for the entire song. forget about the version with sting in it. just listen to sheryl's melancholic voice.

2) estranged - guns n roses
"i knew the storm was getting closer, and all my friends said i was high. but everything we've ever known's here, i never wanted it to die"
not one of their popular songs, i dont think it was released as a single? a very long song, close to 10mins, with a very mean guitar rift in the middle. its an epic love story set in a song.

3) mistress - red house painters
"the attention i need is much more serious. a kind of weight you couldn't lift, even if your cheap career depended on it"
a new song that was introduced by wan. its heartwrenching. the piano weeps and the singer emotes like someone singing his last song before he jumps off the empire state building.

4) simple together - alanis morissette
"if i had a bill for all the philosophies I shared, if i had a penny for all the possibilities i presented, if i had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air, my wealth would render this no less severe"
that's right, alanis dear. and please stay angry. dont go wussy on me now.

5) i cant make you love me - bonnie raitt
"just hold me close, dont patronize, dont patronize .. cause i cant make you love me if you dont, you cant make your heart feel something it wont"
i cry.. i sob.. i weep... and when i listen to the george michael version, i puke. sorry george, but let this be bonnie's song.

6) linger - cranberries
"and i swore, i swore i would be true, and honey so did you"
yeah honey, so did u. so f* off.

ok i'll continue soon. off i go to wala2 with my lovelies. its friday night! time for some songs, drinks and general mayhem.
