"Happy Ending"
Mika

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

Wake up in the morning, stumble on my life
Can't get no love without sacrifice
If anything should happen, I guess I wish you well
A little bit of heaven, but a little bit of hell

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

2 o'clock in the morning, something's on my mind
Can't get no rest; keep walkin' around
If I pretend that nothin' ever went wrong, I can get to my sleep
I can think that we just carried on

This is the hardest story that I've ever told
No hope, or love, or glory
Happy endings gone forever more
I feel as if I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.

A Little bit of love, little bit of love
Little bit of love, little bit of love [repeat]

I feel as if I'm wasted
And I'm wastin' everyday

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it's forever.
To live the rest of our life,
But not together.

This is the way you left me,
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.

i saw this MV in Italy and immediately fell in love with the song.

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Saturday)

3 weeks ago ...

I woke up realising I had fallen asleep. LOL what a funny sentence. They were already packing and it was 6.40 and I had no time to bathe(note that I only bathed twice during the trip, both on Tuesday). So I went back to my room and started packing. Actually nothing much cos I didn't even open up my luggage/bag to use anything. And anyway I realised when I came back to Singapore that I left my adapter in that hotel -.- Oh well.

Had breakfast and checked out of the hotel. Bus-ed and then stopped for early lunch. 11+. It was horrible la. The food smelt of cigarettes cos the people preparing it were smoking wth -.- One of the worst meal in Italy. Then we headed for the airport.

The last few moments of Italy ):

Checked in(?) our luggages, went through the security checks and all, and some of us chiong to buy gelato :D gelato bought in Italy is special :D Haha that would be the last time I ate them in Italy. Walked around for one hour? The toilet was real interesting. It had this puny vending machine, selling edible toothbrush(?!) I have no idea how that(the toothbrush) works and I'm NOT interested to find out.

Boarded the plane and tried to stay hyper to avoid being emo ):

Played loads of Scramble Dash(targe nfu!) and kept losing to Malfoy! How I wish I could Petrificus Totalus you! Maybe Avada Kedavra too :D Along with him were also Hermy and Voldy
and Cho I think. I just remember there were so many 'Hogwarts' players.

AND OH MY GOD HAZEL JUST TOLD ME MALFOY WAS ONE OF THE IJ GIRLS. THAT EXPLAINS WHY THERE WAS SUCHA BIG GANG OF HOGWARTS NOOBIES(maybe not)!

Spammed photos, and before I knew it, I fell into a deep sleep and woke up finding me flying over Singapore. Wth ):

Maaaaaaaa~ went missing after we got our luggages, then she appeared out of no where later. Mr Ong said some words and I felt like crying cos we were moments closer to the end of the trip, like, departing the airport and everyone going back into their respective homes, miles and kilometres away from each other, unlike in Italy where we went back to our own rooms, furthest only being on different levels, closest being, well, on the same bed LOL.

And it was one week after we left for Italy ...

Now, it's been four weeks since we left for Italy, and 3 weeks since we came back. Italy, I miss ... you? o_o Tis ain't un-guy-ish! It's perfectly normal to miss a country


I hereby declare myself suffering from IWS - Italy Withdrawal Syndrome ...

"El Amor No Fallará"
RBD



Seguro que habrán lagrimas verás

Seguro que abran miedos que afrontar

Mas si luchamos juntos tu y yo

Se que el amor no fallará

Cuando estoy junto a tí solo puedo sentir

Que este amor vivará eternamente

Los segundos serán mas valiosos quizás

Porque el mundo cambia continuamente

A tus besos yo me rendí

A tus brazos volveré

Seguro que habrán lagrimas verás

Seguro que abran miedos que afrontar

Mas si luchamos juntos tu y yo

Se que el amor no fallará

En mis sueños estás en mis días estás

Siempre tú viajando en mi mente

En mi vida entrarás el primero serás

A quien yo siga tan ciegamente

A tus besos yo me rendí

A tus brazos volveré

Seguro que habrán lagrimas verás

Seguro que abran miedos que afrontar

Mas si luchamos juntos tu y yo

Se que el amor no fallará

Me entregas tu amor el regalo mejor

Eres tu abrazándome

Queda mucho que andar pero el amor de verdad nos guiará

Seguro que habrán lagrimas verás

Seguro que abran miedos que afrontar

Mas sï luchamos juntos tu y yo

Se que el amor no fallará

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Friday)

3 weeks ago ...

Checked out of hotel again. Jun Jie and I was late for breakfast lol.

We went to Bologna for more sight seeing. It was super quiet compared to the other tourist attractions, as Bologna is slightly less famous. The public toilet there is like what, in full view of everyone, if anyone is tiko enough to peek. LOL. Had dinner, which was eww, and went to buy chocolates! Then headed back to our hotel. The tour guide treated us to chocolates :D And this hotel is by far the best we've been to. Everything at the touch of a button. At first we planned to stay up whole night, in the end I think I was the first to sleep -.- always me one lor sian. lol. We were watching MTV again! (A)

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Tuesday-Thursday)

3 weeks ago ...

Tuesday
I woke up realising I slept on my specs. It was TOTALLY distorted. Lucky I could bend it back WITHOUT breaking it. If not I gg already la. And so I went to Ruth and Mavis' room cos I was locked out once again. I bathed there first(first time in this trip). When I saw Jun Jie, I immediately got the keys and chiong to bathe in my own room. Damn comfy omg. And that, will be the last time I bathed during the trip. Ooops =x Heh then we went to the supermart nearby. Barcardi was damn cheap! But we couldn't buy roar. And btw, that morning, the room keys and my shoes. Yes, MY SHOES, went missing. I went searching in many people's room. Out of desperation, I tried on Hazel's slippers as a temporary solution la. Then Hazel helped check my room, including under the bed. Not there. Just before we went to the supermart, Hazel told me she found my shoes just right under the bed, somewhere where she obviously couldn't have overlooked. That hotel sure is creepy. Ask the sec2 girls for more information LOL. We went back to the competition venue that area and went around to buy stuff. I don't remember what happened already. Bad memory leh. Then at night we were supposed to go for the concert, but in the end it was cancelled cos most of us weren't really interested. Went around many people's rooms, and then went to mine, where Hazel, Ruth and I had some INTERESTING talk about spurts. ROAR. And they tried forcing me to eat yoghurt which was uh placed in the Natural Fridge, which is the balcony, for some time. Kept reminding me about spurts -.- Went to Hazel's room and fell asleep there unknowingly.

Wednesday
Woke up NOT knowing where I was. I tried thinking of where I went to the previous night. Seems like I totally had no recollection whatsoever. Then when Hazel and Ruth woke up, I was surprised to find Ching Xing's luggage in the room. I even questioned why it was in 'my room', until I realised I was in Hazel's room -.- Went around the area of the competition venue again I think. Bought some stuff YAY :D Hee then that afternoon was totally slack time! Rocks. Went to dunno whose room see them play Halo. Then I played a little too :D Sun Zhe was totally HORNY on the phone! "Hello! _____________" CAUTION : Content is for mature audiences. Damn HAHA and everyone laughed their ass out(ltao). And the phone call came, telling us of the results. We lost to Cat. High. Lol at first I was damn sian by the results la. Then I soon realised we did our best what, so no matter what, we should be happy. Even Ms Tham was happy about the results already. That night we went for the Grand Finals! AJC won! Nelson Kwei should be tired of receiving so many prizes at that competition, especially 'Grand Prize'. Last time he brought VJC and won the Grand Prize too. Roar then I had no jacket and had to walk back to the bus in the cold. Roar. I was like wearing only two layers. Ms Tham told us the comments the judges gave us. She even asked me to speak. Then I stun and had to crap something out on the spot. Lol. Final night in Hotel Savoy Palace. I forgot what I did that night. Totally remember nothing.

Thursday
Woke up early and checked out! Bus trip to uh. Florence? Dunno. Pisa and stuff. Was thinking whether or not to buy the Tokio Hotel wrist band/collar leash LOL. Had no idea what that was. BUT I SAW TOM ON IT :D HAHA. Bought some souvenirs and chiong back to bus. No time one lor. Then went to have our dinner. Eww. Checked into the hotel. Art Museo or something. Real cool. Art pieces all around, including music scores, and ____ on display at the lobby. Like wow? LOL. Went to Cherie's room and then spammed Maggi! Was damn hungry as I didn't eat much for dinner. Went to the bar(?) downstairs and waited there for like uber long for the guy to turn up. "Hellooo?!" in both Ms Swan's voice and Mr Bean's voice was heard. To no avail rawr. Then when he came, I think Jia Rong and Cherie pissed him off LOL. But he was nice too :D Went back to the room, eat some more Maggi LOL. Koped a few packets of milo before I left. Went to hell knows whose room. Jun Jie was inside. So were the sec2 girls, and Zheng Yang too. I fell asleep soon enough. They said I looked damn piss and angry when I left the room o_o I also remember storming out of the room! But the fact is that I totally had no control over myself I dunno why I was so darn angry! Just remember going back to the room fell asleep. But this wasn't as bad as the 2nd night, where I totally uhm, walk into the room, sit down on the bed and fell asleep immediately without taking off my shoes. Woke up to find my shoes still on -.-

And that, was Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. 2 more days to go in Italy.

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Sunday and Monday)

3 weeks ago + 1 day ago ...

we left Holiday, and headed for Riva del Garda.
Reached Hotel Savoy Palace, and had a rest.
Had our costumes ironed, and went for PT at 3. Ran ran ran ran in the park/lake. It was lovely, the scenery. We swore to come back and take pictures(which did NOT happen). I fell sick after that. Fever + sore throat + cough. Did the Karimatanu Jog, which was horrible haha, and went back hotel for warmups + practice. Then we had a break and then dinner. And then break again and practice! But it turned out to be a talk by the committee. And Ms Tham didn't want us to sing either. So we had an early night.

3 weeks ago ...

Woke up early at around 5+ and went for PT at 6 at the same place. It was quite bright already. And the air was freezing. It totally dried up my throat after running just a short distance. Then we had breakfast and changed into our costume, and headed to the competition venue. Relaxation and stuff and we went in. After the Sacred(I keep typing as Scared) Category, Ms Tham was talking to me and asked me how I felt about the performance. I smiled to her and said something along the line of 'it was okay' and 'I'm happy'. LOL. And on to our second category. Tired. But Ms Tham managed to get us high. Woo. Then we jumped jumped jumped and gave it our best for the second category. Everyone was happy haha. But I got scolded everytime I went to sleep while listening to the other choirs. Cos I had this splitting/throbbing headache which almost killed me. And we had fun that day! Watching ___ on TV and mini room crashing! :D That's day 2 and 3 for you.

The fact remains that a woman can get further by opening her legs to the right people and having huge mammaries than by having brains.

Omg I saw that on a forum LOL. One wouldn't expect to see such stuff in a normal forum!

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Saturday)

I have this awfully bad habit of reminiscing about the past.

Say, last night before I slept, I thought to myself. 3 weeks ago, this time, we were at the gate there, waiting to board the plane. Then I went to sleep.

Now, 2140, Saturday, 5th Apr, I thought to myself. 3 weeks ago, we just arrived in Italy, landed around an hour ago. Still in the airport? Or on the way to the boat thingy?.

And I have this super uber weird habit of thinking about the last time I did/used something. Say, I last used my earpiece in Italy. You haven't seen me use my earpiece ever since I came back from Italy cos I she3 bu4 de2 use. Weird. But that's just how I am. Maybe I'll remember things better this way.

I'll do daily updates of Italy. Each post starting with "3 weeks ago ..." ... I love Italy.

Ciao.

C'era una volta in Italia ... (Friday)

3 weeks ago. at around this time, we boarded the plane, setting off for italy. it seemed ages ago. so unreal.

i miss italy
