And tonight, we've seen the last of American Idol Season 5. It has been a fun watch, since february; hurrying to come home from the office just to come home in time for the show.
siiiighhh....I wonder if I'd ever get to see Chris Daughtry again..much less Gideon!hahaha!
Mandisa and Paris has such raw talent and such performers they are that I can't help but envy them; making me wish I am as well a performer as they are..hehehe...
Though my "manok" didnt get it to the final two, I still am happy this evening 'cause I got to see Chris again and, and...Taylor and Katharine sang "Time of my Life"...one of my all-time favorite since I was a kid.
siiiighhh...I wish there'd come a time I'd get to sing that song with "The One"... (erm..term borrowed from Sakura..hehe)

ZZzzz...
It was such a ho-hum afternoon.
So boring I could almost hear a fly buzzing around.
Yeah, it feels like one of those la-zy vacation afternoons back home when you lay sprawled on a chair staring out at the intense heat, looking up at a clear blue sky and feeling the breeze as it likewise caress the flora in our frontyard.The fresh breeze around a place so serene and peaceful, lolling me to sleep....
Only, the smell around here is no way near fresh and instead of the soft murmur of the wind, you could hear hardworking colleagues (how do they do that?) intent on their discussions, telephone conversations and hard coughs every now and then.
Despite and inspite all these though, they are as potent as that breeze that lolls me to sleep...

As I have Done For You
God really knows how to reach you when you need Him the most.
Didache readings the past few days seemed like they were meant and written for me.
Earlier, as I sat on the pew, it was as if Someone was prodding me to just go and pick up the Hymnal book in front of me. Opening it in random, I gently laid my hand on the hymnal. As I dont know the song, I just read Dan Schutte's As I have Done For You, goose bumps making my skin rough. Again, it was one of those moments that you feel like He has talked to you...
I did feel refreshed after that.

Getting On...
Still groping for my long-lost appetite, I forced myself to eat lunch. Ordered chef's tuna at Coffee Bean, which was malansa by the way, and enjoyed a white-chocolate latte (which made me felt like gagging) for almost two hours while reading my latest craze - A Wheel of Time book.
Thinking that I may be a bit overstaying already, I headed out to the mall's library and started going about with my mission. I planned to go library hopping and search for WoT's Book 3 as im halfway finished with Book 2 already. While riding to and fro in the train, I was so glued to the book that more than once, I found myself gasping when I realize i've already arrived on the station i've been meaning to go or when I realize, I was already two stations away from my intended stop. Haha, talk about presence of mind. ;)
And Oooohhhh, I just loooove the libraries here in Singapore. In almost every station here, a library can be easily seen; with community libraries situated right within malls or the regional libraries set apart in another building, often than not, several storeys high. Oh, think about the books those buildings hold...Looking at the collection, I always think of these libraries as a cornucopia. Some library buildings are so sossy, they have fountains inside, a Cafe (most often than not, Cafe Galilee) and a music lounge where you can get to privately enjoy a selection of music through a panel of buttons right beside your oh-so-comfy chair while enjoying a good book.
On my second library stop, which was a regional one, there was an exhibit on the ground floor. There, I oohhhed and ahhhed with the little kids guided by their parents; I care not if i'm a bit too old for the crowd..hehe.. There was this "Seeing Colors" panel where three discs were mounted on the wall. On the discs were just patterns of black and white but then when you get the discs to rotating by pushing the start button, you get see red, brown, green and blue on the discs. I giggled as I identified the colors on the discs...Hehe, yeah, so easy to please, am I? But then again, it's rare to have the Little Marj with me again.. My favorite though was the "Frozen shadow" exhibit wherein you put your hand on a phosphorescent surface inside a triangular niche. Facing you, is a digital counter and at the count of 5, a camera-like flash goes and lifting your hand, you can see an imprint of your hand on the phosphorescent surface that looks like your shadow. Weee!! I got so ecstatic with it, I tried it several times; never minding the little ones trying to peep around me and waiting for their turn..hehehe..
So, from one library to another I hopped on...but..sniff..I couldnt find my Book 3 as it was out...Well, I can actually see from the On-line catalogue if my book was out on loan , but I just kind of liked the idea of library-hopping.hehehe..
Not intending to go home empty-handed, I bought instead two of my favorite stuffs before I hopped myself back home...

Can Somebody Sing This for Me?...
Rainbow
Fallin' out, fallin' in
Nothings sure in this world, no no
Breaking down, breaking in
Never knowing what lies ahead
We can really never tell it all, no no
Say goodbye, say hello
To a lover or friend
Sometimes we could never understand
Why some things begin with just love
We can never have it all
No no no ohh
But oh, can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
And so baby just smile
Cause I'm always around you
And I'll make you see
How beautiful life is
For you and me
Take a little time baby
See the butterfly's colors
Listen to the birds
That were sent to sing
For me and you
Can you feel me?
This is such a wonderful place to me
Even if there is pain now
Everything will be alright
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me?
There's a rainbow always
After the rain
Hittin' high, hittin' low
Win or lose, you should go Yeah yeah
Getting warm, getting cold
Weather can be so good or bad
But baby, this is life so don't get mad No no no
Cause ohhh
Can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
And so, baby, please smile
Cause I'm always around you
And I'll make you see
How beautiful life is
For you and me
Take a little time, baby
See the butterfly's colors
Listen to the birds
That were sent to sing
For me and you
Can you feel me?
This is such a wonderful place to me
Even if there is pain now
Everything will be alright
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me ?
There's a rainbow always
After the rain
Life's full of challenges
Not all the time
We get what we want
But don't despair, my dear
You'll take it each trial
And you'll make it through the storm
Cause youre strong
My faith in you is clear
So I say once again
This world's beautiful
Let us celebrate life
That is so beautiful
So beautiful...
Take a little time, baby
See the butterfly's colors
