Get up

I have a few friends who've been going through some hard times.
From losing their love ones to losing their belongings.
Unloyal partners, old age,sickness, financial problem & heartless robbers.

I feel powerless because I can't do anything to help ease your sorrows except for chatting with ya'll through msn :(

So, here you go :)
I dedicate this to you frm the bottom of my heart.
Pull yourselves up together & have faith because it's not the end of the world & I believe in you.
Ya'll know who you are.


ok ok.. before you listen to it.
pls expect the worst u can coz I'm no singer.
I only dared to put it up coz its in tune :S

Lyrics [BoysLikeGirls - Go] :

Little change of the heart,
little light in the dark
little hope that you just might find
your way up outta here
cause you’ve been hiding for days,
wasted and wasting away
but I’ve got a little hope
that today you’ll face your fears
yeah I know it’s not easy,
I know that it’s hard
follow the lights to the city

[Chorus]
get up and go,
take a chance and be strong
or you could spend your whole life
holding on
don’t look back just go,
take a breath, move along
or you could spend your whole life
holding on
you could spend your whole life
holding on

Believe the tunnel can end, believe your body can mend
yeah I know you can make it through,
cause I believe in you
So let’s go put up a fight,
let’s go make everything all right
go on and take a shot,
go give it all you’ve got
oh yeah I know it’s not easy,
I know that it’s hard
know it’s not always pretty

**[chorus]

Don’t wanna wake up to the telephone ring
are you sitting down?
I need to tell you something
enough is enough;
you can stop waiting to breathe
and don’t wait up for me

**[chorus]x2

you can’t spend your whole life
holding on.
yeahh..

Tattoos

Like the majority, I used to think tattoos arebad & I told myself that I would never get it.

My parents & teachers had this equation stucked in my head for the past 17 years of my life:

Tattoo = Form of rebellion + Unprofessional + Low class + gangster

However..
Throughout these years, I somehow changed my perception of tattoos.
It depends you know ,
of course..don't overdo it by covering your body with weird tatts that symbolises nothing:/
eg.
err..something like these..
PLEASE DON'T GET.

This is just sooo wth lah..only ah beng,ah tiong,ah lian mois will get this kind.

hahaha..

but this is kinda cool tho :)

but u still wouldnt wanna have joker's face on your arms/ legs..coz that would be creepy :S

ok leave that aside.

& lets take a different perspective this time.

For now..

I actually see it as a form of art. Tattoos gives u a great insight to someone's personality because it's their way of expressing themselves.

Besides, they're like permanent reminder for yourself ya know..

One of the most  influential person in my life has the word "Delivered" tattoed on his arm. That word itself is actually inspired by a song "I've been Delivered" by The Wallflowers thats about having the urge to break out and chase your dreams. Something about not giving up/coming home until delivered.

These types are acceptable to me:

1) A word that means a lot to you & you would like to be reminded of it everyday.

this one is actually quite cool! Its an ambigram tattoo.

"Faith"

The word reads the same when it's upside down.

Something like the words "Fire", "Air", "Earth" & "Water" from "Angels & Demons"!

2) A tattoo to remind you of your God / religion to keep you on the right track in life.

OKAY ..but not Overdo it like this fella of course.

 A much smaller scale of that would be fine & resonable.

3) A tattoo of your favourite music band.

This is only of course, neccessary for fanatic fans..who feels that a particular band's music speaks to them/

have changed their lives :)

4) A quote that means a lot to you / you've been living your life with.

Tattoos aren't all that bad. Lets all open up our minds & see it in a different perspective! Shall we? :)

In the end of the day, people who ink themselves with tatts doesn't automatically make them a complete different person. We cant just brand them all as gangsters.

but to be on the safe side,

if u reaaaaaallllyyy want one, get one thats not visible when you're working because you wouldn't wanna risk yourself judged by others as being unprofessional & lack of class.

After all, 1st impression always counts no matter what.

cheers :)
