Alright, I'm guilty. I'm feeling very ashamed for laughing out loud during the match between Liverpool and Singapore which was being broadcasted just now. I was laughing at the ones in red. But I'm nothing compared to my brother, he screamed 'Liverpool is OWNING Singapore!' when Liverpool scored their 5th goal. Sigh. I still have a lingering sense of patriotism, alright?Went for Ivan's birthday party yesterday, good friends since 2002. I wish you a rocking good 15-years-old milestone! I embarrassed myself yesterday, haha. No one was willing to start singing a birthday song for Ivan due to his parents standing with us. 'Boys' and 'singing' don't really match, remember? We're shy creatures when it comes to singing. Well, not me, I guess. Pissed that no one was singing, I kicked the ball rolling and started singing in high key. Woah, everyone burst out in laughter. Tsktsk... Hey c'mon, at least I'm enough of a friend to sing for him.
I'm changing my the contents of my jukebox. I practically hated American music before as much as I hate cucumbers, thinking that those songs were all too shallow and meaningless. I'm just being stereotypical that time, I guess. I haven't really learnt to appreciate music back then, I was only appreciatiing lyrics. Not that lyrics aren't important, both matter. Anyway...
Presenting to you, Usher Raymond IV's 'Let it Burn'.
I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that I-love-you I just
I feel like this is coming to an end
And its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn
It's gonna burn for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
It's been a long time coming
But we done been fell apart
Really wanna work this out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurting baby, I ain't happy baby
Plus theres so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Sendin' pages I ain't supposed to
Got somebody here but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladies tell me do you understand?
Now all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel
I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late
I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my booo
You've been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days, um-teen hours
Imma be burnin' till you return (let it burn)
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn (let it burn, let it burn, you gon'learn)
Let it burn (gotta let it burn)
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know its best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that I need to move on
On the other side I wanna break down and cry (yeah)
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh oooh
Ooh ooh oooh (can ya feel me burnin'?)
Ooh ooh ooh oooh ooh oooh
So many days, so many hours
I'm still burnin' till you return
When your feeling ain't the same and your body don't want to
But you know gotta let it go cuz the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that it's through
Let it burn
Let it burn
Gotta let it burn

This guy sings it with a lot of soul. Well, I'm posting the lyrics because I find them very...meaningful. Or should I say, thinly associated?
