this is dedicated to my besties – J & J

*and jaslyn, as i promised*

my recent ramblings about my desperate desire to get married asap have brought about many supportive encouragements from my friends, old and new ones.

seriously, i am very touched. very heartening to know that despite my neglect for them in recent years, they still care.

especially jaslyn. because she is seldom one who is very expressive in words. and also jackie, who risked leaking her ’secret’ to the whole world just to make me feel better.

for that, i thought to myself last night that i will put up a song which is very meaningful to us. from the good old days. but the lazy (and sick) me procrastinated, and jaslyn beat me to it! urgh… but well, this goes to show how alike our minds are, and how meaningful this is to us.

and now, proudly presenting our song:

I Swear – by All For One

I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
and I swear like the shadow that’s by your side

I see the questions in your eyes
I know what’s weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
Cause I stand beside you through the years
You’ll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I’ll never break your heart

Chorus
And I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I’ll be there
I swear like the shadow that’s by your side I’ll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

I’ll give you every thing I can
I’ll build your dreams with these two hands
We’ll hang some memories on the wall
And when (and when) just the two of us are there
You won’t have to ask if I still care
Cause as the time turns the page
My love won’t age at all

And I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that’s by your side
I’ll be there (I’ll be there)

For better or worse
Till death do us part
I’ll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear

And I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I’ll be there (I’ll be there)
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that’s by your side
I’ll be there (I’ll be there)

For better or worse (better or worse)
Till death do us part I’ll love you
With every single beat of my heart
I swear I swear I swear

*i swear, by the moon and the stars in the sky, i’ll be there*

corny or not? haha…

yupz, this is our signature song back in the good old secondary band days. remember how we will sit on the long stretch of wooden shelves along the windows of the classroom (what’s the name? is it a class or a lab? i can’t remember!!! oh dear) in the old school premises where we hold our band practices? swinging our legs with the ugly long black slacks… remember remember?

those were the days.

remember how we fall-in and sit outside the classrooms and there will be many huge yucky beetle-look-alike insects crawling around? how we shout cheers as a squad and ‘bomb’ the other squad?

remember this song: “gingangooly gooly gooly gooly wotcha gingangoo gingangoo”?
(i’ve always thought that it’s a song designed by our own band pioneers but it’s not! go google it and try!)

ooooh… many many memories.

we’ve been through a lot together, which explains why we are so close. till this day.

gals, i love you. my forever pals and sisters…
thank you for being there.

and yuling… though we are not as close as before, you know i’ll always care for you too. all those heart-to-heart talks that we had in the past…

psst… 军乐队一家人！
