DANYA
The Singaporienne: A Novel

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing the whole thing
But often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright lights turn to night
Until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

on the bus ride home, was listening to tristan prettyman's 'shy that way', and i dunno why, but it got me thinking bout how i sometimes do have issues with trusting people. i trust very few people,only a handful, and those people know me more than the rest cause i have opened up to them before. but the rest, dont know me at all, even on the surface. like, even if they want to be more of a friend to me and want to know me more, i would be the one to take the step back. prolly because i still have trouble trusting. and i know that shouldnt be the way, because i need to have someone to talk to bout everything i really want open up about. but i guess not just yet. kinda open up more to the few handful of people i trust. but everything; not just yet.



haha, ah well (: the cat today was ohsosupercute. such a pretty one, adrian was talking to it the whole time, while i was going through my hap and sardine was doing poa, which she was so intent on finishing every single question, haha. and then i got bored, and started doodling on her foolscap, drawing bumblebees which she kept erasing with her thumb and little coolio birds and hearts in the sky, and a rainbow. AND THEN, she scribbled all over my beeyootiful masterpiece. -_- rawr, haha. it was a crappy drawing anyway, haha.

i hid oatmeal cookies from my brother behind my cushion, hahaha. cause he finished half of the container of oatmeal cookies, and he probably would have finished all of it if i didnt hide it, hahah. rrawr, feeling really queasy cause my tummyaches. hope it goes away, yayy, panadols. but i wont take so much lahh. haha. i dont like my tummy, everytime i get tummyaches, i cant eat. even though i hid the cookies in my room, i havent eaten them, and the last thing i ate was a few mouthfuls of cheesecake sards stuffed into my mouth. i want my appetite back, bleah, haha.




Shy That Way - Tristan Prettyman & Jason Mraz



You know your stunning

Absolutely stunning

And I'm running, always running



And now I'm crying

You know only cause I'm caring

And if you were more daring maybe you'd stop staring

And come over and talk to me

And tell me about how you've been waiting patiently

And how you tried but I just turned away

And I'll say, "yeah well you know, I'm shy that way"



Shy that way

Shy that way

Maybe I'm shy that way



You know you're stunning

You're absolutely stunning

But you're always running

But ill catch up to you...



The way you keeps your distance

keepin my interest

so ill keep it consistent



Maybe someday, someway, somehow, sometime

We'll get together and we'll break it down

And I'll ask, "why you gotta be so shy, why you gotta be that way?"

Well baby, maybe, I like it that way



Shy that way

Maybe I, like it shy that way

Maybe I love you so shy that way



Ok, I'm shy that way...



There's always too much talking

And I wanna just keep walking

And I keep staring, baby, keep staring

Though I may not know the right things to say

I'll get it out to you one day



Shy that way

Shy that way


Do you like it? do you like it when I'm shy

Yes I like it, yes I like it, when you're shy


Shy that way
