Hurt Before

She's a girl in a world, she's moving as fast as she goes
Loves her mum and her dad, the only secure that she knows
But at night, she's alone, she's dreaming of somebody new
Her someone for to hold, she's praying the dream will come true

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

There's a pain in her heart, she's trying so hard to unwind
Makes her cry in the night, when visions so real make her blind
Wants to break through the the fear
Erasing the scars from within
Start a new kind of being - she's down and she's praying again

Show me the way - show me, show me how
Help me be brave - for love
Show me the way - show me, tell me how
What do you say

You see she's -
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Stepping outside, with body and soul
Taking whatever future holds
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five
And you know we've all been hurt before

[Violin solo]

You see she's -
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Stepping outside, with body and soul
Taking whatever future holds
Turning the key, unlocking the door
Embracing the rollercoaster world
Take it in stride, you're just twenty-five
And you know we've all been hurt before
Yeah we've all been hurt before
So you're not alone..., no...
You're not alone...




That's one of my favourite songs right now.. just a little bit like me.. I've been hurt.. felt a little scared..
But with time.. we learn to crack the shell, be reincarnated and live once more.. and so here I am..looking forward to life..every day.. feeling lucky that I'm here for another day...

As a young teenager, I used to be a fanatic reader.. I would read a novel a day and was one of the regulars at the local library..my sister shared the same love for reading and we would always go to the library together.. this was in those golden days when I lived in Leeds, England. But lately, I have been spending my time on other activities, and somehow reading feels more of burden than joy.. I tried to read atleast a novel a year.. even that was strenous last year.. this year, I have read 2 novels..that's an achievement actually..[ok..that sounds pathetic.. but that's me]..last night I finished a novel called 'Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas' by James Patterson. It's a romantic novel..not like any I've ever read before..it's about a mother's love to her child..such a sweet story.. makes me wanna be one too someday. I really feel the character in the book..Patterson is a good writer..
The other book I read was 'I Left the Back Door Open' by april Sinclair.. also a good book, about Black Americans. Maybe this summer I'll read more books..especially since I'm not working that much.

The new freshmans will be arriving soon. Some of them as early as this Friday. There's 9 of them arriving this Friday, 3 girls and the rest are boys.. the girls will be staying at my house for a while before they move into their oncampus dorms..I might have to go to the airport..Kamarul is leaving on Friday evening , sometime at 2..an hour later, these juniors will arrive..I'm going to have to buy more rice and chicken... I plan to cook something good to greet their arrival.. maybe chicken rice..my speciality..
There's gonna be alot of things to do..we need to go shopping for new stuff for them..then they have to go to orientation and start registering.. that should keep me bz before Friday 17th when I'll be going to Toledo for my one week escapade.. my cousin says that he might take me to Niagara falls if his other cousins agrees to go too..this should be exciting.

I have to call my parents to tell them that I'm going on holiday..the last time I called I told them that I'm not going anywhere.. plus it's my dad's birthday on the 15th.. Redza's dad's birthday is on the 19th..his brother's is on 31st and my cousin Ariza's is on 13th.. Rapik's birthday on the 12th..Lalat's birthday on the 1st.. there's more but I can't remember at the top of my mind..hehhe...

Anyway...I'm hungry and I wanna go home...I've been playing LITERATI all afternoon ..I guess no matter what the weather is outside, I'll just have to face it.. I still need to pray.. so I better be going..there's more to say, but don't worry..I'll spill it all out, just later!
