One Art by Elizabeth Bishop

The art of losing isn't hard to master;
So many thing seem filled wit the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

Lose something everyday. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.

I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

-- Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look it (Write it!) like disaster.

Mad World by Michael Andrews

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I am dying
Are the best I ever had.
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very very...
Mad world, mad world


To the Moon and Back by Savage Garden

Shes taking her time making up
The reasons
To justify all the hurt inside
Guess she knows from the smile
And the look in their eyes
Everyones got a theory about the
Bitter one...

Thats why she shies away from
Human affection
But somewhere in a private place
She packs her bags for outer space
And now shes waiting for the right
Kind of pilot to come

She cant remember a time when she
Felt needed
If love was red then she was colour
Blind....

Shes saying love is like a barren
Place
And reaching out for human faith is
Is like a journey I just dont have a
Map for

Sick Cycle Carousel by Lifehouse

If shame has a face I think it would kind of look like mine
If it had a home would it be my eyes
Would you believe me if I said I'm tired of this

I tried to climb your steps
I tried to chase you down
I tried to see how low I cold get down to the ground
I tried to earn my way
I tried to change this mind
You better believe that I have tried to beat this.


....

Well I never thought i'd end up here never
thought i'd be standing where i am
i guess i kind of thought that it would be easier than this
i guess i was wrong now one more time

BREATHING

I'm finding my way back to sanity again
though I don't really know what I'm gonna do when I get there
and take a breath and hold on tight
spin around one more time
and gracefully fall back to the arms of grace

cause I am hanging on every word you say and
even if you don't want to speak tonight
that's alright, alright with me...

I'm looking past the shadows in my mind into the truth and I'm
trying to identify the voices in my head
let me feel one more time what it feels like to feel and
break these calluses off of me...

I don't want a thing from you
bet you're tired of me
waiting for the scraps to fall off of your table to the ground
cause I just want to be here now


miche is back in lion city. too lost for words at the moment.

MERRY XMAS TO ALL OF YOU FROM NIPPON-LAND!

miche went to Tokyo Disney land today and the queues were horrendously long. ended up taking only two rides. haha the amount of time miche spent queuing for the rides was enough for her parents to get from singapore to bangkok. hahah

it is an extremely cold day here in Tokyo. hahah but somehow it is fun to be outside in the cold, but then miche feels like being a hamster and staying in the hotel under the warm covers.

hahah going skiing tmrw, totally no idea where she is going but yeah, miche is going to ski.

anticipating 29th Dec with dread, excitement, anxiety and lots more.

miche wishes all of you a merry christmas. missing you guys tons!

hello everyone who is still reading miche's entries. hello from nippon-land. hahah the weather is really nice and miche is starting to think that she could really live in nippon-land in the weather. =)

grins, touched down at 7 this morning and went to the hotel after that , get this miche went to the zoo cause check in was only after 3 pm. hahaha anyway, just came back from shinjuku from a fabulous tempura dinner. grins.

happy that the rain has stopped if not each time i am in tokyo it is RAINING. how spoiler.

the one thing that miche hates when the holidays come is the fact that after a long period of work and overwork, the body psychologically tells itself that it is now time to rest. the resulting effect is an entire week of terrible coughs and flu with a bleeding throat. urgh. miche hates this. so yeah, miche have been sick for an entire week!!! this sucks.

anyway, CHEAM YOU NEED TO SHAVE! O-o





on a really random note and RJ is going to kill me but dont you think he looks like the real life version of the manga guy from Slam Dunk???

and guess who tried to attack miche with a straw?
