After Reservist....

Just finished my first low key ICT, quite tired... hahaz... posted back to Signals platoon, basically everyone's damn f***ed up.. at least the officers in the platoon were dignified.

Anyway, we had quite alot of free time in camp, so i did a little bit of songwriting... loosely speaking, this is my first original full song, with lyrics, and yes, i'm singing (quite badly) in here.. I'm dedicating this song to someone who means alot to me, who's always willing to listen to me rant over the phone.. It's kinda both a "thank you" and "this is how it is" song, so hope u won't feel offended, k?

Just a Friend


Lyrics
--------

Another cloud here drifts across the summer sky
Another day has passed me by
Another moment spent in wistful dreaming
Of your hand in mine

Words flowed easily between us
You shared your woes, your dreams, your trust
You made me wanna be a better person; slowly I
Began to fall for you

(Bridge)
The day I planned to tell how I truely felt for you
You asked to share a secret that then nobody knew
My heart then sank as you, not knowing how I felt
Told me you had a crush - on someone else

(Chorus)
Oh, the pain of watching someone else take you for granted
Pales in the knowledge that I'm in a different world from you
But I'd rather stay the friend than risk the love and spoil the chance of knowing you
I'll be the friend.

As a friend i'm bound to sit beside and listen
As one who loves you, I didn't want to share
But as one who's been with you I know i'm way out of your league
I know my place, I will not stray

Meanwhile, I just finished watching the table tennis prize presentation ceremony where Singapore got world champion (WOOT!!!). I was a little disappointed at the playing of Singapore's national anthem though, I personally felt they should have played the one we all hear on National Day, the grander, fuller, and more awe-inspiring version.

Anyway, this is my guitar version of it, I hope i'm not breaking any rules here, I've read them... XD I think i'm the first one here who uploaded an acoustic version of the Singapore National Anthem, was wondering whether I really beat the rest to it, or there's some rule against it,....

Majulah Singapura (Singapore National Anthem)


Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura
Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura
