james morrison - the pieces don't fit anymore
I've been twisting and turning in a space that's too small
I've been drawing the line and watching it fall
You've been closing me in , closing the space in my heart
Watching us fading and watching us fall apart
Well I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
You pulled me under so I had to give in
Such a beautiful mess that's breaking my skin
Well I'll hide all the bruises; I'll hide all the damage that's done
But I show how I'm feeling until all the feeling has gone
Well I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit anymore
Oh, don't misunderstand how I feel
Coz I've tried, yes I've tried
Still I don't know why
No I don't know why
Why I can't explain why it's not enough
Coz I gave it all to you
And if you leave me now
Oh just leave me now
It's the better thing to do
It's time to surrender
It's been too long pretending
There's no use in trying
When the pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit anymore
The pieces don't fit anymore

these weeks.
well chorale camp was pretty exciting. haha. forgive my seeming lack of emotion though, i don't really think caps and exclamation marks are all that cool anymore. hee. i think everyone did a good job about everything, and all the last-minute rushing actually got us somewhere. haha. and although there were quite a few hiccups along the way, well at least we made it through and it was really quite a special experience. i guess you can read about it on other people's blogs, i won't go into the details. what really struck me though was the spontaneity which was shown by a lot of the participants (sounds so external cip camp thing), especially the j1s, and i think the camp has helped them bond quite a bit. they seem like really exciting dudes. so jiayou j1s.
i guess since this is my blog i'll talk about my experience planning and facilitating (somewhat i suppose). it was pretty tiring, and i think i've realised something not too good about myself, and that is that my EQ suffers tremendously when i'm under stress and totally frustrated that things aren't going the way they should. well idealist i suppose. haha. but still it's a little vexing. maybe that's another part that i still have room to develop in. working with others. cuz it's okay to get frustrated at yourself and throw a mini-tantrum when no-one else is looking, but in a group it will definitely spill over onto others, and create negative externalities. err okay. it will spoil the working relationship as well as the group dynamics. so just something to think about for me.
on other notes, parents are off enjoying themselves again. this time it's australia. so i'm alone at home for 2 weeks. my dear kind sister has volunteered to come back to stay with me (she usually stays at the nus hostel), and for that i am pretty grateful. especially for her com, which i am using now. since the home ones don't work too well (: it really means waking up earlier without getting to sleep earlier, which just sucks. my sleep debt is probably as big as the monetary debts of some poverty-stricken third-world countries, which isn't too good a thing. maybe i should just pon school for a day. that'll be nice. but i'm too good a student to do such a thing lar :P so i guess we'll just find a way through.
i guess one final thing i should note is how "wisdom" can come from the most unexpected sources. and how self-knowledge and answers to important questions can come from people you least expect it to come from. and i'm glad for that answer that i got last week. it was an answer which i was looking for for quite some time, and i'm glad that the search is finally over.
i'll be here
if you ever want to give
i'll be around the bend,
i'll be around the bend,
i'll be around
and if you never stop when you wave goodbye
you just might find if you give it time
you might wave hello again,
you just might wave hello again
and that's the way this wheel keeps turning now- wheel, john mayer
