Before my i start waxing lyrical about the following song, I shall just blog about something which i witnessed yesterday. The incident took place on the mrt and i am still very much disturbed by it.
It happened like this.
On board the train, i saw this young boy who was playing his PSP. Nothing wrong with that, you might say. But what was quite unsettling was the fact that he kept rolling back his eyes to the back of his head, while twitching occasionally. What i am going to assume next might not be the truth; but i have this feeling that the twitching and rolling of his eyes might be attributed to him staring at the small screen of the PSP for ridiculously long periods of time. His brother's actions caused me to flinch too; throughout the whole 30-plus minute journey, from the point of time he got on the train to the point of time he got off, he was on the phone talking to his friend about some computer game. He just kept rambling on and on about game statistics and item builds. I was torn between the desire to laugh at his ludicrous phone conversation, and the feeling of shame. Shame, that anyone can be so addicted to a computer game, to the extent that he was totally oblivious towards his surroundings, even to his brother. I am an avid gamer myself, but i believe that everything should be done in moderation. Playing computer games should be a relaxing process. However, if you let it control your life, there could be detrimental effects on your health, social ability and what not. In a way, i feel pity and sympathy for the two boys; they have been overwhelmed by the games which they play. So for everyone out there, and as a reminder to myself, i implore all of you to partake in computer gaming in moderation.
My all-time favourite song. No point trying to describe it. Just listen to it.
If You're Not The One - Daniel Bedingfield
If you’re not the one then why does my soul feel glad today? If you’re not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way? If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings But I know you are here with me now We’ll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am? Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don’t need you then why am I crying on my bed? If I don’t need you then why does your name resound in my head? If you’re not for me then why does this distance maim my life? If you’re not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don’t know why you’re so far away But I know that this much is true We’ll make it through And I hope you are the one I share my life with And I wish that you could be the one I die with And I pray in you’re the one I build my home with I hope I love you all my life
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today ‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right And though I can’t be with you tonight And know my heart is by your side
I don’t want to run away but I can’t take it, I don’t understand If I’m not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
