Call you up in the middle of the night Like a firefly without a light You were there like a slow torch burning I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep So many secrets I couldn't keep Promised myself I wouldn't weep One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now I'm in too deep There's no way out This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS Runaway train never going back Wrong way on a one way track Seems like I should be getting somewhere Somehow I'm neither here no there
Can you help me remember how to smile Make it somehow all seem worthwhile How on earth did I get so jaded Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go I know what no one else knows Here I am just drownin' in the rain With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything seems cut and dry Day and night, earth and sky Somehow I just don't believe it
CHORUS
Bought a ticket for a runaway train Like a madman laughin' at the rain Little out of touch, little insane Just easier than dealing with the pain
CHORUS
Runaway train never comin' back Runaway train tearin' up the track Runaway train burnin' in my veins Runaway but it always seems the same
This is something that I must do 'cause I realized, that it's about time I let 'em, know what I think of them And I hope I can find, the words to describe
How thankful I am that I have em How grateful I am i can count on People that know what I'm about
They lift me up When I'm down They're always there When I'm losing ground There should be nothing left unsaid
They give me strength When I am weak They're always there to make me see That there's a light at the end I guess they are true friends
I know, that if I'm on the down low They would hop on by, just to see if I'm allright and They would, make sure that I'd feel good And it's safe to say that they're a phonecall away
cause we share
The pleasure and pain that were feeling Give a hug or a shoulder when in need and How can I not return the deed
They lift me up When I'm down They're always there When I'm losing ground There should be nothing left unsaid
They give me strength When I am weak They're always there to make me see That there's a light at the end I guess they are true friends
I know they are true friends.....
One Friend
I always thought you were the best I guess I always will. I always felt that we were blessed, And I feel that way, still.
Sometimes we took the hard road, But we always saw it through. If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you.
Sometimes the world was on our side; Sometimes it wasn't fair. Sometimes it gave a helping hand; Sometimes we didn't care. 'Cause when we were together, It made the dream come true. If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you.
Someone who understands me, And knows me inside out. And helps keep me together, And believes without a doubt, That I could move a mountain: Someone to tell it to. If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you.

Sunday rainy day eating warm food from HANs was great...plus Swensen icecream...yoohoo!
And we saw 黄文永 again... almost went up to tell him, "I saw your son at weiliang's POP 2 years ago leh. Your son also ORD liao rite? "
Yup... that was what Eebing mentioned yesterday... some of us had been classmates since Primary 1, and had actually known each other b/w 13-15 years.
Yesterday met up with my primary school friends for Xmas dinner, was very heartwarming,cause Eebing brought along the familiar diaries...with all those "Birds fly high, hard to catch..." and not forgetting... "pass your exams with flying colours...." (weijie mentioned the c-o-l-o-u-r-s was somemore written in different colours).
Was reading many pri school mates portfolios in eebing's diaries, and many of them wrote Tweety Bird as their favourite cartoon character. Not forgetting their favourite celebrities was some like Gigi leung, Ah Mei, Chen Xiao Dong, bla bla bla. Wow...that's really 精典!!
Weijie also bring along his sticker books...and we would always remember our favourite "毛毛" stickers, that was so hot in our primary school days....
Myself with Zhihao...now my NTU schoolmate as well...
The girls...Eebing, Lanyan, Jan, Grace, Christina, Jacqueline
Grace, Christina and Jacqueline reminiscing the good old primary school days....
Lan Yan, Jan, Grace...seemed like they spotted someone familiar in the Westlake Primary School Yearbook...
Grace, Christina, Jacqueline reading the diaries with our "personal data" ....
What distinguished them from my other friends is that... wow...very long I had never hear people calling my chinese name, 建发... only my Pri school friends will call me that... every year gathering, we would just find one spot, and is normally bishan area, sit down...and reminisced the good old days. It doesn't get tired....it doesn't get boring... but it just felt so good to see old friends again. Now, who says 天下无不散之筵席? Who says friends come and go? Time may flies, but memories still remain...don't you agree?
From right, Zhihao, Qiang Ze, Weijie, Junwen... looking through the sticker book as well...
15 years later...this book still brings back so much memories...
All thanks to Weijie...
Christina eating our familiar Primary School Biscuits...
Memories and more memories...
We also exchanged present...and thanks to Eebing for coming up with such a creative idea, the theme is "Primary school memories" , so the person who brought along the present why he or she chose that particular gift... some of them gave a very stupid reason though....but still acceptable lah, which made us laugh like mad...
Our meeting ended with all of us writing on a brand new diary, with our current portfolio again. Who knows, maybe 10 years down the road... we will be reminiscing about what happened, Yesterday.
After all, it all seems like it just happened yesterday.
