had my run in with crazy and nice ppl yday.. when i say crazy, i mean lunatic. after BEC, pf and i took the mrt as usual. a Malay fella was agitated by a family of 4 that had taken up i think 4 or 5 seats 'cos the two kids were sprawled across the chair, sleeping. he started to scold the parents who obliged and gave way to him. He then seated himself down on the empty chair next to the mother and proceeded to scold her all the way from i think aljunied. when i got off at bugis, he was still scolding the couple.

if that wasn't enough, there was a ranting Chinese man who was hurling abuses at the foreign workers. everytime one got on the bus, he would start his abuses in terribly colorful english. i cringed for there were kids on the bus and the insane man was throwing out vulgarities of all sorts, ranging from the f-word to god knows what. i turned my mp3 player louder. no one fought back 'cos he was obviously mad and may turn violent.

but despite the seemingly senile and vulgar stereo-type that surround such middle-aged men who seem displeased at everything (i once had a guy who was cursing and insulting the PAP loudly to no one...), there are nice ones. when i was walking out in the hot sun yday, a mercs cab stopped in front of me. the driver offered me a ride out to the main road for free. those who have been to my house would know that the walk to the bus stop under the hot sun is a horrid affair. i was as pleased as punch (i never understood this simile anywayz..). but i can imagine david shaking his head as he reads this...

i can see that thought bubble above his head would be muttering at my seeming good fortune that strangers can be so terribly nice to me when no one ever seems to do that to him. he's not exactly a tiny girl with a charming grin... ahahahahahaha

on a side note, i'm happy to announce that after the link went dead a while back, everyone's fave geek's journal is up and running again. and it's back in my side bar until "Jason's Journal". there's a certain charming quirk abt him. in an adorably geekish way. ok. he's one of the two geek boys that i like. the other being clay aiken. and no, it's not a coincidence that they are singers as well..

and i'll take this chance to promote Yahoo's launchcast. it's where i get my dose of country music given how immensely popular it is in Singapore.. people see tim mcgraw as faith hill's husband or the cowboy who did "over and over again" with nelly. all that despite his amazing songs. if you think colin raye is good, do give other country singers their credit. it's more than just kenny rogers or garth brooks. i like garth. i also like randy travis, toby keith, john michael montgomery, keith urban.. and yes, keith urban is with nicole kidman or smth. so? it just seems so.. hopeless that the local community think of whips and mooing when you talk to them abt country music. it's not trashy unless you have dolly parton videos on repeat in your player. sighz

Yes, back to hit the books.. for now, take a break from studying and appreciate the lyrics of Keith Urban's "Tonight I wanna cry" or check out the video of my dear geek. Enjoy!

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let got of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

watch him shake his booty in the second chorus. even his robot towards the end ah... so cute!
