they say bad things happen for a reason.
Sorry for all the times that he lied
And left your heart hangin'
I can't imagine what that feels like
But that was another place
And that was another time
It's not fair to blame me for all his crimes
Just for a minute give me a chance
Let me inside just for a minute
Baby just for a moment
Let me prove I'll do things right
Let down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
Funny on the day that he left
I wasn't even there
It's become a nightmare
But I'll never rest till you give your all
I'll take nothing less till I hear happily ever after
The end
Just for a minute give me a chance
Let me inside just for a minute
Baby just for a moment
Let me prove I'll do things right
Let down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
How do you expect things to get any better
If you keep me on the sideline
Don't you know there's a million things I wanna do
But you gotta meet me halfway you gotta try
Let down your guard
And show me your colours
Don't fight it anymore
Show me you're with me
Open your arms
I'm not like the others
So don't fight it anymore no
What will it take for me to make you see
I'm not your enemy
I've been quite lazy to post up and all, especially nowadays cause i know no one's really bothering to look and stuff. but there have been certain events recently that have been really, really, really pissing me off.
I know I'm a Singaporean and stuff, but sometimes the "hey lets jump on the bandwagon and diss (insert random poor victim)"
It started of a couple months ago of an old... erm.. 'friend's' facebook link that I saw. Now, I know this guy personally, his english isn't say like damn jia lat hopeless that kind, but its not exactly british cambridge standard either. So I was terribly disgusted when he was happily commenting and laughing at the Ris Low videos when I was sure that placed under a similar situation, he would probably end up sounding worst.
I read off a New Paper article sometime ago when one model who 'claimed' to know Ris mentioned that they're both Chinese educated from young, which thus explains their discomfort at speaking english and, ergo, the poor pronounciation. Having grown up speaking to his parents a mixture of very broken english (i still help my father write hs emails to some of his superiors sometimes because those arrogant fuckheads have targetted him saying his english was impossible to discern), hokkien to his grandma who couldnt speak anything else for like his kindergarden till early sec school, and chinese to almost everyone in both sides of the family tree, I can honestly tell you its not that easy to make the transition. Its not impossible, but yea, very difficult. And lets be honest half of the cockanathans who were out there laughing at the absymal (ok fine I mean, it was really quite jia lat) state of her english, ow many of you can honestly speak good, prim and proper english.
So that was that. I mean the Ris Low saga was irritating enough, but what really motivated me to come out all guns blazing was how Singaporeans reacted to the Singapore Team's 3-1 loss against Thailand.
Now this has really been more of a build up than a sudden explosion with some of the really irritating comments actally being the straw that broke the camel's back.
It started off a couple of months back when at the Singapore versus Liverpool match there were a couple of Liverpool fans who actually put up the banner "THIS IS ANFIELD" at the stadium. I confess I was really really disgusted. I mean ok fine, I'm a man utd fan, so this may sound biased on my part. But serously, cheering for the away team more than the home team? Even in Thailand, where Liverpool have a really huge following, the home fans still cheered for their National Team over Liverpool. I mean.. where's the nationalistic pride man.
Now I've never been a fan of Noh alam Shah, I think that guy's a prick and have seriously no idea why everyone is turning a blind eye to his antics on the field. what 'committed play to his country', 'full-blooded tackles' and all that bullshit is just a very nice way of saying 'hooliganism on the pitch'.
But I totally agree with him on his reasons for leaving Singapore to go play for Indonesia. I mean, who te hell wants to play in a half filled crowd.
But the response after the loss was quite frankly, disgusting. I agree they played poorly showed a severe lack of ideas, but they did bring up their performance for sometime (after alam shah got subbed off for Khairul amri. just had to mention that) to show that it wasn't that hopeless. They way some Singaporeans were talking its like the National Team have been on some 30 match losing streak and this was the worst of them all. I clearly remember one letter in the newpaper saying "how dare that Ridhuan complain about being treated like the away team (i'm assuming this is about the liverpool singapore match), when he was running around like a headless chicken".
The best analogy I can think of for all of this was how my mum used to like scold me after I did abdly for a test or cane me after I failed my exams in primary school. Or when I didn't get my A. I bet everyone's felt that before, and I'm pretty sure that's like how the National Team feels man. No one likes to get kicked when their already down.
Which is why I put my faith into action. No one gave Singapore much of a chance against Thailand in the return leg. Hell the Odds were 1- 5.5 Just so you know how bad that was, Sunderland to win arsenal is only 1- 4.5 yeap it was that bad.
anyway i put my faith in singapore and threw in a $10.
:D
Whooaaa
What happened to workin it out)
We've fall into this place
Where you ain't backin down
And I ain't backin down
So what the hell do we do now...
so things have come down to this eh. us being mad at each other for god knows why. Seriously, I'm what.,.. you're enemy now la?
