Airplanes take you away againAre you flying above where we live?Then I look upa glare in my eyesAre you having regrets about last night?
I'm not but I like rivers thatRush inso then I dove in
Is there trouble aheadfor you the acrobat?I won't push youunless you have a net
You say the word you know I will find youor if you need some time I don't mindI don't hold onto thetail of your kite
I'm not like the girls that you knowbut I believe I'm worth comin' home tokiss away night this girl only sleeps with butterflieswith butterflieswith butterflieswith butterfliesSo go on and fly boy ~ Tori Amos Sleeps with butterflies1)The girl in this song has just begun a casual relationship with a boy, who doesn't want to move as fast as her, throught the song she says it's ok, he's allowed to fly, and she doesn't mind givin him the time he needs. But the reason she is ok with it all, is b/c she only sleeps with butterflies... Men that fated to sooner or later fly away from her .2)Sounds like she's singing from the perspective of a woman who is in love with a man with committment problems- and she's diving in headfirst. Is there trouble ahead for you the acrobat? I won't push you unless you have a net I think she's telling him she won't ask him for a stronger commitment- because he isn't comfortable without a safety net- an escape route.3) I think this song is about having to let somebody go & explore themselves before being able to be with them. i think the "kiss away night" part simply just means that instead of night accompanying her to sleep everynight, it's butterflies. to say that she only sleeps with butterflies, to me, means that she is ok with this man going off on his own for a little while- she is ok with letting him go ("if you need some time i don't mind, don't hold onto the tail of your kite") ... it's like saying "yeah ok, go on and go, i only allow myself to be with butterflies anyway so go on and be one."

Being sucha long time since i blog...But i was like totally busy...=D. Mmmm have being really involved in drama these days...Almost everyday it's like drama drama and drama.I have to admit that i loathe my role initially because it seems to boring and uncool.But soon i realise that ensemble has the most difficult job out of everyone because of all the moves and all the different position we have to be at.And plus we have this really um construction like costume(it's like a blue jumpsuit which i hate it at first because it is so not my style.But after a while i get use to embrassing myself.....i dun like it when they laugh while i say my japanese tourist role.I mean they don't laugh for a mean reason or wateverso.But it's only because they said i did a splendid imitation of the accent....But still i am always so self conscious and paranoid....And because of this performance i get to know everyone a bit more better plus i make new friends(like those people who newly joined drama).I am kinda close to janice nowadays especially when i get to see her like almost everyday.And know wat! I was drinking my hot milk tea during the break and she all of a sudden hit my hand and as a result i spilled hot milk all over myself(my nose,mouth,hand,chest and thigh).But she was actually like trying to kill a mosquito that is feeding on my hand but i guess she didn't quite realise that i was holding my hot tea.So due to the pain all over my body and the shock, i tear....She kept asking me if i was okie and it is painful.I mean what can i say right i can't be spoilt and say painnnnnnnn....besides she seem so like worried and apologetic already that i just kept assuring that it's nothing.But it's all over...i am well and healthy now...with no burns or scar or watever...YAY!
Anyway i just finish reading her blog(that she just gave it to me) and i just feel angry and sad for her.Her boyfriend is such a freakin JERK(like even worst than him) and she seems to have such a bad time all along.Plus i didn't know she drink and all that...but oh well it wouldn't change a thing cause LIM XIU XIA(=D) goes clubbing and all that and yet she is like one my closeeeeeeeee friend.But so far janice seem like a nice girl and all and i find i can click with her and she relate stuff to me..She told me about her jerk ex and i told her about my jerk.....But reading her blog makes me feel so fortunate...because i am in a lot of ways actually blissful......everyone is nice to me(well almost) i have adoring fans(but sometimes that get a bit pesky not to forget some of them turn way too stalkish) friends that are really faithful and nice towards me..that i can trust and turn to,good siblings(well um kinda i guess) etc.So i should stop complaining about my life and learn to apreciate my good fortune...But i guess it's only human to like complain right...because we can never be satisfy with what we have.Nvm i shall complain or/and indulge in my good fortune whenever i like to.Who cares....lalalalalalalalala.
i have a terrible confession to make....i am beganning to not-so-enjoy the company of leonard and justin.I don't know...we don't seem that close anymore...Do you think it's because we hang out almost 24/7?They are always nice and letting me my way and always accommodating me in whatever possible manner.But still the spark isn't there anymore.I am just a weird person...sometimes i really do believe that i only want the simplest thing in life and that goes the same for any type of relationship...but when everything is peaceful and gets monotonous...i began to find fault...Well maybe they aren't really faults...but just that i wish to make everything more perfect...because it's sorta like okie everything is stable now so it's time to perfect every little imperfection.So i am trying not to spend too much time with them recently by saying no to any outing that they ask me to.But the way they ask me about it was like why don't u want to hang out with us anymore and all that ...that it makes me....like well just want to hang out with them.And sometimes i feel a bit pressurized...Now i am still thinking if i should go tennis with them tmr...i told justin i will think about it..and he was like why you don't want to go ?me and leonard really wish u will go ?i don't want to force you if you really don't want to go? think about it lor? if you want come to the court at 9am...blah blah. I am not like showing attitude or whatever but it's also because i feel that cannot hang out 24/7 with the same person everytime...because soon you will start to take each other's company for granted and start to resent or fight that sorta unpleasant thing.Besides if you notice i always tend to hang out with girls more than guys.Because i don't like people to gossip about me..I don't want to give people the impression that hey why lilin only hang out with guys..she is such a filrt and all that.Well honestly speaking reputation is kinda important to me...i mean not that sorta fake reputation but it's more like i want and try to be a better person everyday...Plus i have being steadless forever and ever...that people just tie my with whatever guy that i talk more or laugh more or hang out more with.People always like to ask: hey li lin why i always see you with him ar.....you and him stead liao ar? me: huh no lar...he is just a friend.. people: haha really har...don't bluff lar. me: really.. and so and so on...it's so weird lar....i have friends who can get by when hanging out with guys....but not me...i admit it gets on my nerves last time but now that i am more used to it...i am kinda okie with all that questions...Oh yah and one more thing...it's like if i change my nick to some sort that might suggest that i like someone or someone like me and that sorta love thingy...they will always start pressuming and msn me to ask...Sometimes i do feel love but not towards anyone but just in general..and sometimes it is somthing that i feel all of a sudden that i just wanna display it or sometimes it just so happen to be from a song that i like(which unfortunately happens to be sad/happy love song).But i understand their feeling about this because if i were them...i would ask too.
I am a bit sleepy now...and i shall blog um...maybe tmr....=) Nights everyone....

Oh my i had the grandest birthday week ever in my whole entire life...Thank you everyone for being there wishing me,doing things for me and the presents.I shall list down my three
consecutive days of celebration...grander that the queen of london i shall say.
3rd june(my birthday)-friends bomb me with sms and msn with well wishes.cheryl gave me this cat tissue box holder which is really lovely.xiu xia and lili and sheryldine says they'll own me first.But you noe wat...the most touching thing is that xiu xia and the gang (um ya the uncool ones..=P)bought me a strawberry cake...sobz they totally surprise me with that and i thought they've forgotten about it or at least not planning to do anything but wow....=) am happy and soooooooo sastified.So me,cheryl,xiu xia,lili and xiao hsin celebrate for a short while after class.They sang happy birthday song and we cut and ate the cake...oh yah and had some photo taken too.And everyone at drama wish me happy birthday and sang song...a lot of shaking hands too.And justin and wina gave me this kitty card(soooooooo cute) and a skirt.And noe wat...xin wen,angeline,pei fen,shirely and lishan bought me this musical box which i love dearly.When you open it, the ballerina dances to the tune of 'nutcracker'...gosh how lovely.And you see a few days ago i went takashimaya with justin and leonard...and you noe me right..i just said everything seem so nice and cute..And i told them tat particular musical box is real nice and they were like mmm oic.And guess what i totally didn't see this coming but justin actually told them tat i like the musical box and they bought it...No wonder when i open up the present i was like woah this is like psychic.And they actually appear out of nowhere when i was lunching with cheryl.They wish me happy birthday and i was like thank you thank you then xin wen was like looking shy and all that so lishan gave me the present from his hands and gosh i was soooooooooo surprise.Cuz i thought they are just here to wish me happy birthday.And friends whom i have not being contacting with all these while sms or msn me and i just feel that it is a lovely thing to do.Like alex yeo, he msn me and i was like mmm i shouldn't get mad at him anymore.And the fact that i delete his msn no and he didn't made me even more guilty that i've decided to add him back again.And johny the guy that i treated him so badly he leave a message at my friendster.I guess he don't dare to sms me cause i warn him not to or else i'm reporting him to the police.So i decided to be friends with him again..asking him how is his life over at australia and all that.So after drama, i meet leonard and justin at orchard cuz they are celebrating for me.We went swensens to eat and they pay for an ice cream cake and sang happy birthday song.
Everyone was sooooooo nice and lovely to me that it just feel like so magic...I really wanna thank everyone who wish me that day especially to my best pals lili,cheryl and xiu xia.Thank you for buying the cake and everything...It means sooooooo much to me and i am really touched.Words cannot express the gratitidude and love i have for you guys.Thanks for pampering me at times,tolerating my sometimes tiny selfiness and tandrum.Muacks to everyone....
sat(second day of the celebration)-my sister treat me and my brother to sakura resturaunt.And we had a lot of dishes and desert.Boy it was soooooo fun and the food taste real good.I was kinda gald that we didn't went to swensens to eat in the end.Cuz i would definately enjoy a different food from the day before.It is really lovely to chill and relax with my two dearest siblings.Althought i don't always say this but they are the best silbings i ever had in this whole world.Oh yea my mum give me $100 as a birthday present.And my brother brought me two slice of cake from angie the choice( which i share it with my sis) which taste kinda nice-one mint cake and one blackforest.And after that makan, me and my sis went to orchard till late night to shop and shop.I didn't get anything but she got herself a u2 jacket(kinda cool i mus admit),two hand cream,face powder etc.
sun(the third day of celebration)-had half of the day with jixuan and alvina at the west coast park and jixuan's house.Shufen came to fetch me from my house to west coast park so that i can meet them two.Well actually she is suppose to join us but at about 4 something she called me and said she is too sick to join us.Honestly speaking i was a bit upset with her but after a well it was okie...After all she is really sick with asthema and all that so i couldn't really insist of her joining us right.Jixuan and alvina had a pinic for me with bread,self made cake and cookies and tealight candels and drinks etc.It was really really lovely of them to make a cake and cookies for me that i insist on bringing the cake and cookies home.And the cake and cookie look and taste pretty good(on the account that it's their first attempt).So after a while alvina drove us to jixuan house where we chill and chat and played monopoly and psychic board(but that didn't turn out quite well).And after that alvina sent me home.
So on the whole everything was sooooooooooooo magical and it's really beyond my wildest imagination that it happened...it's more like something out of a storybook.I will post some pictures up later on.But thank you so much everyone....every single one of you that wish me happy birthday...thank you sooooooooooooooo much..
Gotta go now for i have tennis training in the morning and drama at the afternoon.Am working hard you noe...=)Nights....
