I find this particular lyrics so simple yet so touching. It's about the differences btwn people. Yes, we do have alot of differences among family members, among friends, among race, religion, fate and belief and the list goes on. But how could the two people can get along with each other through many differences we are facing in this life? What's the whole point of calling it off because of the differences we have? Sometimes it is not a matter of having differences in life. It is a matter of whether we are willing to forgo the differences we have each other. Our ideology, our thoughts... It is whether we care for each other enough to come into terms with one another. If we care for one another.. why would we let obstacles stand in our way? We can just call it off. For the sake of friendship. For the sake of love. This is what people can have in common among many differences.. love and friendship. =)
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off
Lyrics by Ira Gershwin; Music by George Gershwin
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:
You say either and I say either,
You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither
Let's call the whole thing off.
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh, if we call the whole thing off, then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas,
I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the whole thing off
Let's call the whole thing off.
You say laughter and I say larfter
You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter
Let's call the whole thing off,
You like vanilla and I like vanella
You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry
Let's call the whole thing off
But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart
So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters
I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.
I say father, and you say pater,
I saw mother and you say mater
Pater, mater Uncle, auntie
Let's call the whole thing off.
I like bananas and you like banahnahs
I say Havana and I get Havahnah
Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah
Go your way, I'll go mine
So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters,
So all right no contest we'll order lobster
For we know we need each other so we
Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

Unexpected result!
The weather is very cooling today. I woke up at 10:39 am. Never sleep till this late for years liao. Very nice weather to sleep I guess. I was a bit surprised about the exam results I got. 2 distinctions and 1 credit. This year I have lesser time to study. And during exam time I got alot of things going on. Quarrel with my friend which makes me in the worst mood to study, the myanmar cyclone and total lost of communication with my family make me worried sick and also in the middle of busy projects at work. And somehow I manage to get 2 distinction. I am feeling kinda lucky.

Going Mac
My first blog entry frm mac book. lol! Mac certainly is pretty different from windows. And today I am trying to explore a few features. Still need a bit of getting use to. I quite like the design of Mac. But anyway, I will have to install Windows on it since some of the applications I will need to use will only be on windows. I shall explore more about mac over the weekend.

Always be my baby
We were as one babe
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I'm letting you fly
Cause I know in my heart babe

Whole day in Boon Lay
Today is back to back meet up with friends. I meet up with 1 of my friends for lunch at boon lay. After I ended up having to cancel more than 3 , 4 times to meet up with her for various incidents, finally we get to meet up each other again. Since I try to meet up with my friend Bala and Raja for Bala's birthday in the evening and my friend Xanthe meet up with her friends for lunch and dinner we actually have a reason to stoning down there for lunch and dinner. Ha ha ha. I joined her friend for lunch and wait for my friends for dinner. And she also joined with me waiting for her friends for dinner. Really a stoning day. From 12:30pm - 7pm. First time I am spending way too much time in Jurong Point. And literally I totally no idea where to shop or where to spend time. Anyway, at least get to meet up with friends and get to talk a bit. Quite not bad la. I just a bit sian about the stoning part. And my two indian friends were enjoying the chinese dinner at Crystal Jade! LOL! Can't imagine the birthday boy is so anxious about eating the chinese food! Still have to meet up another birthday girl for belated birthday dinner. Think might be next week?
Friends forever
"Friends forever". I guess this is the kind of statement, that we made quite easily when we were young. And it is all sounds so nice and touching. But as we grow older, sometimes being friend with friends is not as easy as it sounds I guess. Especially for the two friends to be really care for each other through ups and downs. I am pondering over those words. And to me, I felt in my life some friends will be really friends forever. No matter what has happened. No matter how's life turn out to be. I am agree that sometimes it's hard for the two friends to accept the same point of view or always can click with each others.
As I grow older, I came to accept at times friends do quarrel among each other. Friends may have totally differing opinions. Sometimes really on each other nerves. Despite saying all these, some friends will always be in my heart no matter what. I know and appreciate their good intention, even admist the heated argument over opposing view. I can feel which friend do care about me even if they don't spell it out. I know which friends are being my friends in my life because they really intend to be friend with me when we get to know each other.
For these friends out there... Even when we don't get to talk to each other, I will still remember about them. Even if we have very different personality, I will still try to appreciate for who they are. Even if we quarrel, I will tend to ponder their point of view after some time. And I do really happy and appreciate for how they are and what they did for me because I can still clearly see they have some good intentions in everything that they do.
And I think those friends are the friends I can say they are my friends forever. I don't expect them to be by my side whole life as friends. But they are those friends who will be in my heart and memories forever. Those friends who made a great impact in my life and those I can vividly remember for who they are, rather than how they might appear to be.
