The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice

The Blower's Daughter
- Damien Rice

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is (he has)
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off (-?) you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off (-?) you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is (he has)
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is (he has)
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off (-?) you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off (-?) you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to(?)
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off (-?) you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off (-?) you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind off you
I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new

I just watched the movie 'Closer'. And Patrick Marber is so accurate in the telling of love. And Mike Nichols made it so real. The story tells of how a person will alwasy be searching for someone better even they're already with someone at that particular time. And what Natalie Portman's character said is so true. There's always a moment before you decide to fall in love. Either you resist it or you fall into it. There's always a choice. People are always not happy even though they've already found someone. There's always the search for someone better. And how the person you love can make you love him so much and need him so much and at the end, he finds someone and falls in love with her because she doesn't need him. And they don't see the irony of the whole thing. And how people can't generally be happy with what they have. Or they feel they don't deserve to be happy. Coz then if they are, then can't be depressed since we are all basically depressive. And so if they find themselves in a state where they're happy, they'll immediately set out to find a situation where they can be unhappy again as they feel they don't deserve that happiness. And how the person that you love can be lying to you and you will never find out unless by some chance coincidence. That they can be with you for years and years but never reveal their true self. And how perverse we can be by torturing ourselves just to hear the sad gory details. And how the truth always hurts and yet we insist on it.

And still we search for it. We yearn for it. We pine for it. We long for it. Even though we know that when we eventually find it, we'd still keep on looking.

- If you believe in love at first sight, then you'll never stop looking. -

My Lil god-son

I never liked new born babies. NOt until last week when I went to visit my close friend's son. Naturally we've been made the god-mothers who will spoil the boy silly. Holding the 2 week old boy just felt so right. Felt so natural in my arms.
But that doesn't mean that I'm ready to have one of my own just yet!



Maternal instincts at work.



Who could resist a face like that?



Isn't he just adorable?

In my office...

Woo Hoo... I'm blogging from my office! What a thrill... I know, I know... sound like some 'jakun' but hey, never had this kind of privilage before!

Anyway, second day on the job. Boss ain't here yet. Met her son, Miles last night. Cute kid. Very hyper. Feeling a bit bored coz there's no one here!!! I'm the only one on the whole damn floor!!! And my office feels like an aquarium. There's this glass wall so everyone can look inside and vice versa and since i'm currently the only one in here, I feel like a goldfish.

I'm bored... Hmm... i wonder if i can 'curi-curi' install Yahoo or MSN messenger. Oh yeah, we can't access our private email accounts from here. Previously it was allowed but then the server kept getting attacked by viruses (thanks to some ppl who simply opened files from unknown ppl) so now that privilage has been taken away. Ish. Came onboard just a little too late.

Let's see what time my boss will come in. Got some filing to do for her. She's almost as messy as I am!!! And I have to clean up and organise stuff for her when I can't even organise myself :) How ironic.

Hele signing off... from my 'aquarium' :)

P.A.?

I am so excited. I start my new position on Monday and I will be working from 9 am to 6 pm! No more vampire hours!!! And i am going to be someone's Personal Assistant. Imagine... I will be managing someone's life!

My new boss is this really cool lady from the States. She has really high expectations from me and I hope i can live up to them. And guess what her name is? It's Halina. So can you just imagine the confusion we'll cause? Everyone who calls will be so confused :)

Anyway, I start on Monday... hope all goes well!!!
