we are d world- part2

i stand corrected.
d remake o we are d world,
WE ARE THE WORLD 25 FOR HAITI
is awesome.

granted,
d voices and singing still cant b compared w d original.
but d arrangement's good!
as in, d way they put all kinds o elements together...
AMAZING.

will try to get d lyrics to this song as soon as i've time.
got articles to write now ><".

happy CNY to all!


ciao~

we are d world

songs sung by a lot o ppl can nvr fail to touch me.
examples? hand in hand (for SARS), beijing welcomes you/ we are ready,
and of course, my theme song for today, WE ARE THE WORLD.

as has become d norm,
i looked up this song juz a lil while before it became THE song.
dad explained tht it came after d british Band Aid sang "do they knw it's christmas" to help d poor africans.
we are d world was sung by USA for africa,
led by MJ, lionel richie, stevie wonders, bruce springsteen and many more singers o d day.

history aside,
news abt d remake has caused many discussions to spring up.
d most frequently heard was, "no way, man, NOTHING and NOONE can replace these great singers".
and i kinda agree.
d original was too powerful and touching.
still
like some forum-nists say
wht's w d "big noise"?
let them try.
it's not to replace this jewel o a song
d remake is sung IN HONOR o d original.
and it's for a CAUSE.
any small thing helps.

WE must trully B d WORLD.

WE ARE THE WORLD
here comes a time when we need a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
Oh, and it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all

We can't go on pretending day by day
That someone, somehow will soon make a change
We're all a part of God's great big family
And the truth - you know love is all we need

( CHORUS )
We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
so let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me

Well, send'em you your heart
So they know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us
By turning stone to bread
And so we all must lend a helping hand

( REPEAT CHORUS )

When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, let's realize
That one change can only come
When we stand together as one

( REPEAT CHORUS AND FADE )

CNY's arnd d corner~

NO MORE, i tell you.
trying to change my blogskin is really too much.
worked on it for, wht, almost 3 hrs?? last week.
i dont care if my blog looks weird (like half-baked bread) or wht.
i'm seriously refusing to change anythng else till my sch mag's publication's done.

grumpies aside,
here are some pics o my 2-day "vacation" at my aunt's.
CNY cookie-baking session.

this is my latest fav (new recipe)-- d choc butter cookie w M&M's


another new recipe:

and yes, d ones in d middle are not pineapples.
they are d new and "improved" cherry tarts. *yucks*

now take a look at this:

and this:

do i hear you think *it's a sieve and tht's... sarah?*
you are right.
and wrong.
a sieve + me = sifting machine
heh. tht recipe requires "sift 3 times"... *faints*

instrument o torture:


crunchies:

*mental note: only kellogg's cereals apply*

aunties (+grandma in d corner)/partners in crime:


though when all's said and done...
this yr im not gnna stuff myself w cookies (and consequently grow fat[ter])
im gnna savour each and every one......

haha~
happy CNY, y'all~
and *smile always*
(if a cookie can do it. why cant you?)


cheers =)

*left* KC girls' high

Being away fr d shelter o my beloved sch does take some getting used to. In d meantime, I’m still not ruling out d thought o carrying a “std Q&A card” card w me.

This is how a conversation betw my mom’s friends/my neighbours/anyone at all usually goes:

(1) (greetings) On holiday, are you?
No, I’m waiting for sch to start.

(2) Oh, where are you studying?
Taylor’s.

(3) A-lvls?
Degree.

(4) Wht, you’ve done your SPM/STPM (depending on hw well I knw them) already???
Yes, it’s nt STPM exactly, cuz it’s fr a chi sch but d academic lvl’s d same as
STPM.

(5) *struggles to understand* Oh. Erm… so… erm… Wht’re you gnna study?
Architecture.

(6) Wow. Gd for you/ gd luck/ so clever, ya? (w d option o *pat arm/ back/ shoulder*)
*smiles sweetly* Thank you.


Then again, there’s d ever familiar (over d past 2 yrs) question o
“(to my mom: wa your daughter so big alrdy arh?) How old are you? Doing your SPM this yr or just finished?”

No complaints though.
Seeing their faces gives me such delight tht I’m actually considering keeping my hair short to cont hearing this question =).

i cant take this

pls dont read if you have nvr heard me mention d secret code "panda".

i really cant take this.
how can he do this to me?!
remember wht i said abt him not talking to me for one whole yr becuz o "buzy w studies"?
i added him on my msn list again last week, cuz i thought,
juz catching a mention o how he was doing is enough for me.
he msn-ed me juz now, as well as answering an email i sent him a mth ago.

now im shaking w anger.
how can he act as if nothing has happened between us?
ok, maybe nothing has happened. we didnt fight or anything.
but we havent been talking for almost a year!
and he acts as if d last time we talked was last week.

i dont know why im so angry...
he probably doesnt know tht im mad at him...
but i juz cant stand it.

it was as if all d mths o being angry at myself (& at him),
getting upset cuz he didnt reply to my smses,
telling myself tht he's super buzy, when he doesnt do d things he usually does w me (ie chat, read blog etc),
didnt happen.

as if he didnt cause me to feel sad everytime i think abt him this yr.

feeling so APOLOGIZE now. (think justin timberlake)














but wht i dont understand is, why i can accept jerk's apology...
jerk didnt EVER replied to my smses and letters...

was it only cuz jerk didnt act as if he didnt do all tht?
or becuz he apologized?










or becuz im juz a person w double standards?





















i missed panda.
lots.











but suddenly i wished he didnt come back to my life.



















i dont know him anymore.
