Of the only exception

When I was younger
I saw my Daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it
And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

I thank God that my mom and pop love each other dearly albeit the petty arguments which crop up occasionally. I smile to myself each time they hold hands, chuckle at themselves while watching TV on the sofa and poking fun at each other. As such, I grew up believing in love and such - until one day when I entered into my own relationship and discovered things which I wish I never discovered. After all, ignorance is bliss. Indeed it is. I swore off all boys and never wanted to believe in love again. 

But darlin'

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

And then I met you.

Maybe I know, somewhere 

Deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways

To make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm content

With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

'Would it last?' I asked myself over and over again. I was happy with solitude - I am free to do whatever I wanted, go out with whoever I wanted, whenever, wherever. But then again, there was no one to share my deepest and darkest secrets, my farts, my silliness, and to go through it all and to laugh about it (best friends don't count - they know everything about me anyway). 

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

Ooh ooh...

We knew right from the beginning when we met that you had to leave the country for work for six months. And maybe another six months as soon as you got back. This might not seem like such a long time for some people, but to me, it would've felt like six years. I hated LDRs because I was afraid that instead of absence making the heart grow fonder, it would be out of sight, out of mind. I hated commitments and the responsibilities that came with it. As such, I didn't want to let you in and told you all this right from the start. 

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm my way to believing

However, after hours, days and months of talking and going out with you, my heart felt something. We have so much in common it's scary. Everything you liked, I liked (except Karaoke). Everything you disliked, I disliked. You can cook, sing, paint, draw, and lots more. You are extremely intelligent (although I love calling you 'bodoh' - in an endearing way of course), rational and thoughtful. All in all you made me believe again.

I suppose...you are the only exception.

Now, not only would I get to sing my lungs out when I play this song on my lappie or if I hear it over the radio, I would get to do so alongside Paramore themselves on 19 October 2010 at Bukit Jalil National Stadium! This is all thanks to Tune Talk Mobile Prepaid. Let's rock it at the Rock Zone at RM358 per ticket (with me!!!) or you can also choose to opt for the RM268, RM168 or RM98 tickets. You can get them at AirAsiaRedTix or via TicketPro.

Let's rock it!

Life lesson #9: ALWAYS invest in nice pairs of undies - the horror would be slightly (like 1/3242211325) more bearable should the bottom of your filmy skirt decide to magically sneak up to the top of your undies.

Without you knowing it.

Hennessy Artistry strikes yet again! This time DJ Inquisitive, DJ Nesh and Ze would be spinning tunes that would burn up the dance floor on 18 September 2010 at Mist Club, Bangsar. Artistry events I have been to in the past have been Awesome with a capital A!

Unfortunately, I have been out of the 2010 HA party scene so far (due to yawn-ish reasons) so this is one event I won't wanna miss! Hennessy Apple, Hennessy Ginger, Hennessy Berry and Hennessy Citrus here I comeeee!

BE THERE OR BE BLEAH.

Of retaliation

My reply to P. Niss's letter in the previous post:

Dear P. Niss,

In response to your letter dated 9 September 2010, please be informed that management has greatly taken into account your comments with regards to our prior rejection to your raise request. After much consideration, we regret to inform you that we are still not able to approve your request. Based on our records, you are given raises every morning and night. Sometimes even in the afternoon, if your performance is good! Furthermore, your feedback showed that each time, you were so happy and satisfied that you have cried tears of joy. Please be contented with your current daily raises as no other company is able to match that.

We do not wish to retrench you due to your high demands and even worse, if your future performances are not up to standards. Please understand.

Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you.

Sincerely,
V. Gina

HAHAHAH I couldn't help but to post up KB's reply to the P.Niss post in my previous entry:

Damn. I have to admit, it's Girls - 1, Boys - 1 now. BUT those scores only remain so until I come up with something. Somehow.

Of retaliation

Got this off Kamen's blog (original post here) and I have to say, Girls - 1, Boys - 0.

The Day the Penis asked for a Raise

I, the Penis, hereby request a raise in salary for the following reasons:

I do physical labor.
I work at great depths.
I plunge headfirst into everything I do.
I do not get weekends or public holidays off.
I work in a damp environment.
I work in a dark workplace that has poor ventilation.
I work in high temperatures.
My work exposes me to contagious diseases.

Sincerely,
P. Niss

The Response:

Dear P.Niss:

After assessing your request, and considering the arguments you have raised, the administration rejects your request for the following reasons:

You do not work 8 hours straight.
You fall asleep after brief work periods.
You do not always follow the orders of the management team. You do not stay in your designated area and are often seen visiting other locations.
You do not take initiative - you need to be pressured and stimulated in order to start working.
You leave the workplace rather messy at the end of your shift. You don't always observe necessary safety regulations, such as wearing the correct protective clothing.
You will retire well before you are 65.
You are unable to work double shifts.
You sometimes leave your designated work area before you have completed assigned task.
And if that were not all, you have been seen constantly entering and exiting the workplace carrying two suspicious-looking bags.

Sincerely, 
V. Gina

Life lesson #8: I heard something over the radio this morning and it is going to be my motivational thought every time I think something is impossible - Never think something is impossible, always think "i-m-possible".

Nice.

Life lesson #7: The quickest and most efficient way to kill a relationship? This:

Sigh. I guess one of the fundamental rules of a relationship is sacrifice - presenting the boy with a chunk of junk I reckon would be his life support for months to come and in turn presenting myself with a relationship death sentence.

Happy birthday, Blubber

Life lesson #4: "Damn! Did I lock my car?!" After numerous attempts of pointing your car remote at your car from a far away distance with the hopes of checking if your car is locked, you realize it just ain't gonna work. You are then forced to drag your sorry feet nearer to your car to check. But NOW, after this amazing life lesson #4, you don't have to do so! Just point your car remote right up below your chin, press the button and lo and behold! Your car remote would be able to detect your car.

Freaky, but true.
