once a upon a time
Huh Gak - Hello
We can't break up- It's too early for separation for us
You can't just leave me like this
There's so much that I didn't say yet
Please don't leave me like this
Because it's you, I'm-
Because it was you, I-
I can't go on like this
The reason I live is only you
Please don't leave me
You are my love, my love that I long for
You're the person that used to love me
Now I can't touch you but
Will you long for me as much as I long for you?
The person that I loved crazily, hello hello
Because I loved you, I'm-
Because I really loved you, I'm-
Suffering to the point of death, to the point of death
Can you see me dying and not alive?
Please come back to me
You are my love, my love that I long for
You're the person that used to love me
Now I can't touch you but
Will you long for me as much as I long for you?
The person that I loved crazily
If it was going to end like this
If this is really the end
I want to go back to the time when we didn't know each other
If it's too late, if it's too late
I think I'll finish myself because living is too hard (x2)

Next To You
One day when the sky is falling,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you.
Nothing will ever come between us,
I'll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you

I think I’m ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty I wanna be pretty
Don’t lie to my face tellin’ me I’m pretty

This is the end, This is goodbye
Thelma Aoyama feat. 4minute - without you
It’s been so long
but I still want you here
Let me show you how I feel
Since the night when you walked out my life
My heart feels so empty
Now I’m sitting here all alone
Knowing you won’t come back
Everyday I gotta wake up to
A room with your memories
It’s too late to say, It’s so hard to say
I just can’t let go~
Let me hold you tight
Let me love you right
Baby will you let me one last chance
I won’t let you go
I won’t say goodbye
Baby you were everything I need
I can’t live without your love
I can’t breath without your here
You’re the only one I need
So baby won’t you give this love another chance
This is the end, This is goodbye
Yo.
Baby it’s been so long
I know I gotta move on
Cause Love is slipping away, boy
it’s clear as gone
But you’re the one I’m missing
It’s from my heart listen
You are the one baby you’re my world for real
but you had to go
I want you back now
I need you right now
Everything I said to you
but now I take it back now
Been through the rain
And I had been through having back
I just can’t let you go now
Let me hold you tight
Let me hold you tight
Let me love you right
Baby will you let me one last chance
I won’t let you go
I won’t say goodbye
Baby you were everything I need
Do I have to let you go
I don’t want to let you go
Is there anything I can do?
I can’t live without your love
I can’t breath without your here
You’re the only one I need
Maybe I’m asking alot but
I just wanna see you once again
and if it filled the same love
let me know now baby
before it’s all too late, oh~
I wanna hold you close,
Right here with me
It’s been so long but
Gotta let you know
The times that we had,
Will still be in my heart
I don’t wanna let go
let me hold you tight
Let me hold you tight
Let me love you right
Baby will you let me one last chance
I won’t let you go
I won’t say goodbye
Baby you were everything I need
I can’t live without your love
I can’t breath without your here
You’re the only one I need
So baby won’t you give this love another chance
This is the end, This is goodbye
For you’re the one I’m missing
It’s so hard to let it go
It hurts me to never come back
Gues I have to take it slow
This song is for my soul
I know I got to go
But I still want you
Still need you
Hoping you come along my way
Along my way, Along my way
Along my way, Along my way
Along my way…

Unstoppable tears
You in that place, you who never answers, my heart wants you
Can't you wait for my love, so that I can reach you?
If you love me, look back at me, just a little faster
Hold my hand before I move on, before my love dies out
Can't you be on my side so you can endlessly laugh and endlessly cry with me?
Because I will only love you even though it hurts so much
Can't you wait for my love, so that I can reach you?
If you love me, look back at me, just a little faster
Hold my hand before I move on, before my love dies out
Can't you be on my side so you can endlessly laugh and endlessly cry with me?
Because I will only love you even though it hurts so much

A trip down memory lane
I'll plan a trip down memory lane sometime b4 my enlistment
I shall visit my hometown, AMK/Sem/chong pang.
take a slow walk around these places and eat all my favorite food.
Lets call it, my last treat to myself
Memories of our time together
Kesanaide kono mama don't go away
I'm a man who treasure my memories, because memories are what keep us going.
They let us remember who we are, what we've done and remember all the happy moment we have experienced.
2 boring years awaits me~
A man without memories is just an empty shell - Jonathan Chan

Tears
The starry sky is filled with flowing tears
If they can illuminate the yearning hearts
When you can see the mournful stars
You may be able to forgive the pitiful me
The distance between us is farther than the starry sky
We cannot reach each other’s hearts
How many more times must I cry, how much more tears must I shed
So that my tears can overflow into your eyes
Do you understand my heart?
If they can illuminate the yearning hearts

You may be able to forgive the pitiful me

Jar of hearts
You lost the love, I loved the most
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back
Who do you think you are?
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?

Through her walk, her temperament shows.
From her appreciation of art, her level of culture shows.
You can see if she's a woman that would go to an art gallery or a club.
If she prefers perfume that's overwhelming or subtle

The end is coming
The end is coming, the last of it is here
The tears that I must get used to are beginning to flow
Words that I used only for you
But they're all useless now
Love is leaving, my love is leaving me
A one and only love for me
She's throwing me away
No matter how hard the tears flow, I don't feel embarrassment
I repeat the same words
I love you (I'm sorry, don't hold me back)
I love you (Even without me)
Without you, I'm (I hope you're happy)
It's nothing
I'm sorry (I love you)
Please meet a nice woman
Forget how bad I was to you
I love you, I love you
The tears that I must get used to are beginning to flow
Words that I used only for you
But they're all useless now

Chapter twenty one: The Celebration.
Don't worry about that extra line
That's creeping up upon your face
It's just a part of nature's way
To say you've grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we're getting closer to who we're gonna be
It's time to celebrate the story of how you've come to be
Happy birthday my friend
Here's to all the years we've shared together
All the fun we've had
You're such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you've helped create
For every heart and every soul
You've known to grow a little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don't count the years just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don't ever lose the wonder of the child within your eyes

A person who will love only me is a good person in anyone's eyes
If you see me being happy, please suffer
I hope you cry and regret throwing me away
Though I smile, my heart is crying
I hope you're in pain, though I'm suffering more
I'm telling myself I'm happy, and I can be happier
Though I'm trying to lie to my heart, it won't listen
I hope you cry and regret throwing me away

1. Money can’t buy happiness but
somehow, it’s more comfortable to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy, but
remember the bastard’s name.
3. Help a man when he is trouble & he will remember you
when he is in trouble again.
4. Many people are alive only because
it’s illegal to shoot them.
5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then,
neither does milk.

Regret
I regretted those times that I stood up for you, you're a complete jackass that has wasted my time, effort and emotion. I hope you are happy with your life, cause personally i think you are pathetic, you live in your own world and YET you think you are all so mighty and successful, PUI!

LOL a certain friend of mine kena scammed ! AGAIN! HAHHA JOKE!
** No offence to powerbalance users but I clearly don't believe in it :)
Dude you are FING stupid so please stop trying to act smart in front of others especially when you gave me this FKING definition of businessman.
Below is an extract of a conversation I had with this retarded friend of mine.
Number 10: Ei Jon! I'm a businessman
Me: huh?
Number 10: orh I'm working for this XXXX XXXX company
Me: yea, go on
Number 10: I don't have a fixed salary so I'm a business man loh!
Me:.... ing idiot?
*HINT for Curious people: Alphabet
oh back to the powerblance thingy, Power balance? its simply a $69 rubber band.
here's the source taken from EDMW
Misleading advertising claims about the alleged benefits of Power Balance wristbands and pendants have been withdrawn by the manufacturer after Australian Competition and Consumer Commission intervention.
As a result consumers will be offered a refund if they feel they have been misled and Power Balance has agreed not to supply any more products that are misleadingly labelled.
Power Balance Australia Pty Ltd claimed the wristbands improve balance, strength and flexibility and worked positively with the body's natural energy field. It also marketed its products with the slogan "Performance Technology". The ACCC raised concerns that these claims were likely to mislead consumers into believing that Power Balance products have benefits that they do not have.
"Suppliers of these types of products must ensure that they are not claiming supposed benefits when there is no supportive scientific evidence," ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said today.
"Consumers should be wary of other similar products on the market that make unsubstantiated claims, when they may be no more beneficial than a rubber band," Mr Samuel said.
Power Balance has admitted that there is no credible scientific basis for the claims and therefore no reasonable grounds for making representations about the benefits of the product. Power Balance has acknowledged that its conduct may have contravened the misleading and deceptive conduct section of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
The Power Balance wristbands were widely promoted in the media by various sporting celebrities. The wristbands were sold around Australia in sporting stores and also on the Power Balance website www.powerbalance.com.au
"When a product is heavily promoted, sold at major sporting stores, and worn by celebrities, consumers tend to give a certain legitimacy to the product and the representations being made," Mr Samuel said.
"Retailers that continue to sell the product with misleading representations on the packaging are warned that they may be open to action from the ACCC," Mr Samuel said.
To address the ACCC's concerns Power Balance has provided the ACCC with court-enforceable undertakings that it will:
only make claims about its products if they are supported by a written report from an independent testing body that meets certain standards
publish corrective advertising to prevent consumers from being misled in the future
amend the Australian website to remove any misleading representations
change the packaging to remove any misleading representations
offer a refund to any consumers that feel they have been misled, and
remove the words "performance technology" from the band itself.
Consumers with refund enquiries can call Power Balance on 1800 733 436.
The ACCC has previously taken court action against a number of alternative health providers, including Advanced Allergy Elimination and NuEra, for misleading and deceptive conduct.

oh back to the powerblance thingy, Power balance? its simply a $69 rubber band.
here's the source taken from EDMW
Misleading advertising claims about the alleged benefits of Power Balance wristbands and pendants have been withdrawn by the manufacturer after Australian Competition and Consumer Commission intervention.
As a result consumers will be offered a refund if they feel they have been misled and Power Balance has agreed not to supply any more products that are misleadingly labelled.
Power Balance Australia Pty Ltd claimed the wristbands improve balance, strength and flexibility and worked positively with the body's natural energy field. It also marketed its products with the slogan "Performance Technology". The ACCC raised concerns that these claims were likely to mislead consumers into believing that Power Balance products have benefits that they do not have.
"Suppliers of these types of products must ensure that they are not claiming supposed benefits when there is no supportive scientific evidence," ACCC chairman Graeme Samuel said today.
"Consumers should be wary of other similar products on the market that make unsubstantiated claims, when they may be no more beneficial than a rubber band," Mr Samuel said.
Power Balance has admitted that there is no credible scientific basis for the claims and therefore no reasonable grounds for making representations about the benefits of the product. Power Balance has acknowledged that its conduct may have contravened the misleading and deceptive conduct section of the Trade Practices Act 1974.
