Alter Bridge
Broken Wings
As heard on the Blog.
Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light
In our souls
Leave the peace alone
How we all are slowly changing
Dims a fading light
In our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
The things we hold
Are always first to go
And who's to say
We won't end up alone
[CHORUS]
On broken wings I'm falling
And it won't be long
The skin on me is burning
By the fires of the sun
On skinned knees
I'm bleeding
And it won't be long
I've got to find that meaning
I'll search for so long
Cry ourselves to sleep
We will sleep alone forever
Will you lay me down
In the same place with all I love
Mend the broken homes
Care for them they are our brothers
Save the fading light in our souls
In my opinion seeing is to know
What you give
Will always carry you
And who's to say
We won't survive it too
[CHORUS]
Set a-free all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all that I'll be
Set a-free all
Will fall between the cracks
With memories of all that I am
And all that I'll be
[CHORUS]

Alter Bridge
Blackbird
The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again
[Chorus:]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again

This post is dedicated to you.
You met him, fell madly in love.
Had countless sweet memories, memories of him so pure
Hopes of a blossom relationship has begun.
All you have wanted, all that he might have wanted
Seemed to close, yet so far away
You gave your all, to be all that he ever wanted.
Against your will, you gave.
The storm than gathered.
Ties severed.
The gloom took over.
You are left confused.
So angry, the betrayal.
How was she used as a vase?
Cruel endings are often hard to tied over.
Let us just say....
Love is blinding.
It is the shiny-iest emotion on earth.
Perhaps all of mankind could have been blind all along.
By the very Chemicals in our brain, further enhanced by chocolate.
Some say Love is sweet, so is Milk Chocolate.
Some curse it as a Bitter experience, so is the 99% Coco content Chocolate.
And once again, some said.
This is perhaps part and parcel of being a Mortal.
We love, We hate, We anger, We Sad.
Just like the weather...
the storm comes to an end.
Resulting in the bright sunny blue sky, with the fluffy clouds.
Umbrellas kept, children come out happy.
And so Should You.
At the end of these Bitter events...
We ask ourselves,
Is this ever worth it?
Is he or she worth so much tears over?
For the hurt he brought You?
I fret not, but i may be just so wrong.
I might be wrong.
This could get a one click....
and poof! its deleted.
In the ultimate end.
I might just be bullshitting.
Or am i making sense?
Its up to You, whom i dedicate this "comeback" post to....
Make you see that Sunny bright clear blue sky with the fluffy cloud, and perhaps a rainbow to go along.
Cheer up.
A humble friend,
Shawn.

Again i went hiatus for like a gazillion years. Been so busy with school; i had virtually no time to blog. (perhaps its Facebook that stole time from you my blog)
Many agree that Facebook is a very bad distraction.
Let this post be a catch up on my life. (blog is where we record our lives isn't it?)
So 2010 begun, had quite an emotional low start. Having to repeat the first year at Millennia institute was humiliating enough.(at least to me personally) An original glorious entrance to an A level institute became an embarrassment.
The following account shall be fast forward.
The year begun with an additional 2 week holiday. Great way to start a year!!!
Initial 3 days of Year 1.5, was spent as a emotional, spiritual?, Meditative? camp for repeat students to Clean the soul and purged it of our bad doing of 2009. To "restart" once again i 2010 and do well! Thy Soul shall be pure!!!!
There after, Orientation, ROUND 2!
And thus so, the Da ja vu begins. Almost everything of 2009 repeated in 2010. Same scenarios, exact same setting. The only difference lies with the identity of the people around. The poor little 1993 children, all with their inquisitive faces stepping into what know to them as a "Holy" A level institute. "Oh thank the lord! I still manage to get into an Alevel institute! NICE!" I bet many had that thinking after the second day. Poor children, WELCOME TO HELL!!!! This is Make-Sure-you-Drop-out institute mind you!
Retention soon kicked in. watching as your own ex-classmate took charge of you. Being treated as if you are a young innocent child. In fact, i might be older than some of them. However they did quite a job in planning and handling the Orientation. Kudos to them nonetheless. The only error in this year's orientation, WHERE IS THE INTERACTION? In the end, I DONT EVEN KNOW A SINGLE SOUL IN MY OWN ORIENTATION GROUP??
Orientation. Oukoku 2010.
Went through the same routine. Got into Taira 3 (just like Athenian 3!!!)
Met new friends.
Who eventually became good friends, Keet, Ben, Derrick, Asmita, Yan and Jonathan. (Hope our one extra isn;t wasted! We shall be in year 2 next year)
Again! MI dance. Highlight of MI Orientation. (even stated on Wikipedia, so its a must feature on my blog)
During the event, the 93' kids had a raging hormone. Most went amok with excitement, first time with a girl dancing?
Anyways....
I had a awesome partner for the Dance! Eleanna! haha And she kept laughing at that Green Jacket guy behind me!
Zoom fast forward!
And so Orientation ended. I got into 10B5, as i have expected it. Jonathan would be joining me again this year, and for the next three years, he shall entertain the hell out of me! haha Nice!
Formal classes begun. Almost a whole new set of teacher, with more weirder demands and expectation. A whole new set of classmates to adapt to. Did i forgot to mention, i'm like 2 years older than these innocent little children?
How to not feel alienated from them, the generation gap. 2 years, Northpoint became Northpoint 1 and 2. Thats a big change, which goes to show how much different there is within 2 years.
10B5 started with an overwhelming huge number of students, perhaps record holding in MI? It was as Big as 5A i guess. Flooded with innocent souls who thinks of A levels as child play.
Lessons containing the exact same content soon flooded my life once again. This is what i hated. B6-er would have know how i hated H1 Maths for being a complete reduced version of A maths. Than you would ask, than why retain you dope!?
Good question! How the fuck would i know? Am i really that hopeless? Perhaps...
Though i so hated the repetitive lectures, i had to pay special attention to my countless lectures. A level is no childs' play game. It is war! I have to pay attention to the "battle strategies" taught during lectures. Methods and ways to use the "weapon a.k.a PEN" to kill the enemy, "Cambridge" the Beast.
(alright too much fantasy here. The more i read fantasy, the more i'm cranked.)
Fast forward. (Shortening the post. plus... i cant think)
March holiday came.
Completed my final Diploma module, Mass Media Research. Which later became the topic of my Graduating Project which became my greatest project in all time!
Mr Omar was a fun loving, eccentric and weird. However, he was a good teacher and taught well, despite my C grade.... I didn't study throughly.
Back to school. The boredom continues....
At this point in time, i was beginning to not like my new class. No offence to 10B5.
Zoom.
MI mart. Another "great" event. Hated this event so much in 2009. It was a great flop, just like all other "Major" School event in MI.
Planning "started" as early as the middle-beginning-ish of school 2010. Just the same, split into three groups, create the proposal and get rejected.
Took over as assistant leader at the brim of the event. The original leader had left for studies in a better place. Might be a good choice for him.
Had information jam pack into my head about the business. To my dismay, I invested in a business bound to fail.
On pre-Sale, we barely sold more than 5 items.
Event day, we were more or less screwed. I already given up on the event. Sorry to my Group. Blame the school for my slobbish attitude toward a major event in your Business studies life.
Next biggest event.
Transcendences.
The only Medium in which Musician in Millennia can ever do anything. I must comment. Musicians in Millennia aren't treated well enough. We are treated as a bunch of hopeless fools. Whereby you just rather love those who can run like a cheetah or those who would just make the school famous. What with being famous for sport only, when 75% of your students are dying after their A levels? I'm pretty sure there are studies that Music could help you achieve greater heights than running like a mad ass. No offences to Sport people, i'm in it too.
Audition for transcendences.
Went horribly wrong. Had a great fallout with the people i pull together to apparently make "my dream" happen. I agree, i was the jerk in this case. I led to my own downfall.
Thank you Dhivya for still coming down specially to audition despite me being an ass.
and Keet for being the friend.
Alright, so i didn't fit into the "theme". Since when there was even a theme??!! Countless incredible musicians were rejected. I was shock at the results. No news of a planned theme was given. Musicians went in most prepared and gave their all, and got rejected. Great! just great....
MI! You just wait! 2011 Transcendences, I will be on that stage! Rocking your Sorry asses!
Concert day!
Bought the ticket the day before, alone. As usual, i always have to do things alone.
Went for the concert.
It turned out pretty awesome.
With incredible acts like, Orange Pulp, whom brought the house rocking with Sweet Child O' mine. Awesome musicality, awesome shredding by the Guitarist.
When all the event's finally came to an end. The Examination anxiety kicked in.
June holidays was approaching, which equates to examination with in 2 months.
Its all study and nothing else.
Alright this kind of summerised up my life up till the Beginning of June holidays.
For now than.....
Keep Rocking on those incredible licks! Rock on \m/
