Hilary Duff- Someone's Watching Over Me Lyrics

Found myself today

Oh I found myself and ran away

Something pulled me back

The voice of reason I forgot I had

All I know is just you're not here to say

What you always used to say

But it's written in the sky tonight

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

Seen that ray of light

And it's shining on my destiny

Shining all the time

And I wont be afraid

To follow everywhere it's taking me

All I know is yesterday is gone

And right now I belong

Took this moment to my dreams

So I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

Someone's watching over me

It doesn't matter what people say

And it doesn't matter how long it takes

Believe in yourself and you'll fly high

And it only matters how true you are

Be true to yourself and follow your heart

So I won't give upNo I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even if it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark

I'll still believe

That I won't give up

No I won't break down

Sooner than it seems life turns around

And I will be strong

Even when it all goes wrong

When I'm standing in the dark I'll still believe

That someone's watching over

Someone's watching over

Someone's watching over me

bYe bye. :(

new york

2005-12-16T17:14:00.000-08:00

New York City,Manhattan..

Omg.New York is amazing. :) spent 4 days dere and still,it wasn't enuff.was so reluctant to leave it.totally luved de place.im seriously thinking i wanna migrate dere in future. :)

wells,my first impression of NY wasn't tt gud initially.before entering de city,we drove thr the outskirts and de place was rather messy and filthy.place seemed rather rowdy and insecure. :(

second dae in new york was spent at woodbury market. :) de place houses factory outlets for brands such as Nike,Adidas,Guess,Puma,Levis,*Disney* etc.dere were easily over 100 brands available dere. =)) clothes dere are really cheeap despite the conversion rate.spent de entire dae shopping n did nothing else.reached dere at 11am and we left at abt 6pm.bought 3 pairs of jeans from levis and guess and lots more stuff.it was really a fruitful dae. :) of corz,i bought stuff for my team and darlings too(i hafta say dis or dey'll kill me).

third dae was spent at the statue of liberty.we decided not to drive tt dae as driving in new york proved to be a bother due to the lack of parking spaces.we took de subway and it was disgustin. :( de undergrd was filthy,smelly,stinky,messy,rowdy,gloomy,ugly(tt's all i haf for my vocab).in short,de subway was gross compared to sin.we spent ages trying to interprate the map and in de end,only my sis noes howta. :((

we had to take a cruise to the statue and omg.de cruise had lotsa pigeons that aren't afraid of human.saw dem scaring lotsa passengers.tsktsk.bad pigeons.staute of liberty was nice,but place was so cold we dint wanna go right up to de top.

tt night,we went to Broadway,Times Square to experience the city life.omg.de place was fabulous.wanted to spend only abt 2 hrs dere but in de end spent ages in the Toys' R Us dere. :))de toys r us is really huge.so big it has a ferris wheel inside. =)) and de decoration inside is wonderful.took lotsa pics.

besides de toys' r us,we also went to dis Hersheys factory that sells loads of hersheys chocs. =)) bought alot of chocs for friends and teams.nice place to camp.

last dae in NY was spent at woodbury again.we decided to go back for round two.but be4 tt,we went to Wall Street to see the New York Stock Exchange.de place is soo nice.tt's where i wanna work in future.took lotsa pics dere. :)) met our friends at woodbury tt dae and chatted for awhile.it's a nice dae. :))

hmms,i was thinking,.hopefully i can get a job at the stock exchange so i can migrate to NY and go visit de toys' r us and hersheys factory everrydae. :))

boston =)

2005-12-16T07:54:00.000-08:00

haRvard..

arrived in boston todae!!drove ard first to see wad it's like.hmm..place was a lil rowdy and had alot of african americans.de houses were all rather old.wasn't a veh nice sight but was definitely an eye-opener. :)

de most exciting part was we went to harvard.weehees.cant believe im stepping in dere.though it's in de form of a visitor not student,but hafta admit it was a wonder ful experience. :)

buildings dere were a mixture of old and new.some were really ancient,typical western buildings made of bricks(erms.my description has nv been gud.so just try to imagine).the new ones are really cool too.made of glass.yupps.

we went to visit de law and business faculties corz my sis and i haf interest in these two areas.hmms..harvard law is so popular that outta 7000 applicants each yr,dey're only taking in 550.omg.tt's so lil.dey must be real elites.

de campus is a lil similar to SMU.it's built in a town called cambrigde and has shops all over de campus.nice sch,but i dun think i'll eva made it in. :( so.better luck next life?? :p

albany town.

2005-12-16T07:14:00.000-08:00

wad's a tOwn??

left canada todae and headed for boston.wells,we hafta stop over at a town called albany for a nite corz de journey dere was too long.hmms..i was wonderin de entire time wad's de definition for a town.so i asked my dad.but he simply refuses to ans me.said it's a silly question and i shd noe de ans at dis age.hurmphs.mean pok. :(

wells,but my persistent questioning,he finally told me that a town's a place that is self-sufficient,having it's own facilities to cater to de residents' needs(so geography).see,tt's de thing that confuses me.in sin,we always say "im going to town" when we're actually going to Orchard.and orchard's a CBD area,not a place with residents.hurmphs..so confusing.but anyways,i dint bother much abt it anymore when we reached albany corz de place was great!!

albany was quiet,peaceful and had a nice chinese restaurant.it's really tranquil at nite.my sis and i sat at the hotel lobby waiting to use de com and at de same time,enjoy de view.oh wells,but we ended up dozing off. :( albany was really self-sufficient in facilities.had lotsa grocery shops,laudry services,restaurant and even a town center.did i mention,it even has a bowling alley.weehees. :)

albany strikes me as a place where pace of living is slow.gud for retirement.maybe i shd go dere when im old.wahahahahaas. :)

niaGara fAlls vs fOod..

2005-12-15T07:21:00.000-08:00

niAgara falls vs fOod..

we left early in de morning(actually it wasn't tt early corz we spent almost de entire morning at breakfast.lettme elaborate..dere's dis really smart chief hu cooks really nice omelettes.he makes it according to ur preference and it's real gud.though a lil oily,but hu cares.pple needa take some oil in tt weather to keep them warm.just like whales having blubber. :p yupps.so de omelettes were delicious.couldn't stop eating.burp) to visit niagra falls.it was damnn cold and we were freezing.de edges were stacked with ice,both melting and not so it was slippery.but everyone dint seem bothered abt it corz de view's great and no one wants to miss out on taking beaautiful pics.my sis and i grabbed on to each other tightly and it was an exciting experience. :))

de falls was nice but becorz of the weather,part of it was covered with mist so we couldn't really see the horse-shoe shape.standing in the cold must haf burnt our breakfast corz we were all hungry soon.went to a restaurant by de falls to haf lunch.could see the entire falls frm dere but i couldn't much be bothered abt it corz de food was delicious. :p rainbows started appearing in de afternoon,making de falls look nicer than be4.but due to the cold weather,we hastily took a few shots and fled.hmms..i really wonder how de americans can stand winter. :(

went to a nearby park to capture a few shots.but little did we noe my sis and i would turn out having a snow fight..weehees.made me rmb abt our europe trip.hmms.it was really a memorable one.families with teenagers gathered together and of corz,all of us teens grped 2gether to haf a snow fight at de alps. :) it was,if i rmb correctly,a battle between the sexes. :)) had party for lotsa nights den.we were so noisy till de hotel manger hadta come ask us to keep quiet.oh wells.really miss G7.but think/hope we're gonna meet up soon dis hols. :))

first dae at canada.

2005-12-14T17:31:00.000-08:00

C-A-N-A-D-A

Second dae comprised mainly of driving from New York to Canada.journey was extremely lOng and tiring,though i had lotsa time to nap in the car.wahahahahaaas. :) pOor dad,hafta drive for abt 6 hrs. :(

it was ard the third dae(todae) when we reached Canada.but be4 crossing the border to canada to see the falls,we went to visit the American Falls first.omg.de roads were damn slippery and the moment i got outta de car,i witnessed someone falling flat.so scary. :( held on to my sis so tightly.the fall i endured during ice-skating has definitely affected me mentally as wells.hmm..but i dint really appreciated de falls that much.the weather(winter)made it extremely unbearable to properly admire the scenery without shivering. :(( but anyhows,it was still a nice experience.

it was evening when we reached Canada and darkness falls early there due to the winter season.5pm is almost as dark as 10pm here in sin.so our daes dere were quite short and we had to make up for it by waking up early. :(( yawns.

we spent abt an hr trying to locate our hotel as we got lost.kept turning abt in circles until my sis and i felt like puking.tsktsk.mum and dad apparently dint haf much of a coordination at reading maps that dae.but based on past experiences,dey'd turn out fine after dey had gotten the hang of it. :)

wells,the long search was worth the effort as the view from our hotel was magnificient!my dad calls it de million-dollar view corz we could see the whole fall frm our room. :)) tsktsk.so thick-skinn.and i seriously think he's quite obsessed with the fall.he quickly grabbed a chair and sat in front of the window facing the fall de moment he entered(so KS. :p but nvms,de window was extremely huge anyways.) and he sat dere de whole nite.omg.i wonder y.he even fell asleep there.hmmms..well,being such a good thinker :p i guessed it must be perhaps my mum and him did visit de falls once be4 dey got married .so perhaps he was sitting dere all nite reminiscing. :))

hotel was nice.the name(embassy suite) suggested that it is a suite(duh) but it was really nice corz dere is a jacuzzi and lotsa coffee makers. :)) had dis crazy craze for cofee makers when i was in US.dunnoe why.probably corz i seldom use mine at home.hmmms..do i even haf one?? :p

wells,we're going down to de falls tmR and im excited.hope it'll be nice. :))

fiRst dae..

2005-12-06T16:50:00.000-08:00

StRanDed..

todae's really exciting corz we were stranded in New York airport. :( plan was to rent a car to get from one state to another but my dad forgot to bRing his driving license.and the car company refuses to accept a fax copy of that.omg.we were really worried.yet,it was rather exciting then,having to think of a solution on the spot.

hmms..so,that was y we spent abt 2hrs loitering at the airport.we decided to wait for one of our friends hu's also arriving at the same dae to borrow his dad's driving license.luckily for us, we managed to find a car rental company that is willing to accept a fax copy of the driving license.so we got our uncle to send it over.phew!! :) i was so afraid then that we would hafta spend 2 wks in NY.i wouldn't be able to eat my fav clam chowder in san frans then. :( so,thanks uncle!!u're de best. :)

i fell in lurve with the monorail at the NY airport at first sight. :) took it 6 times altogether.wahahahaas.from T1 to T2 to T3 so as to kill time.de other passsengers looked at me as though i am crazy. :((

we arrived at the inn quite late,but as we were all hungry, we drived thr at macs and ate supper in the hotel. :) food is real good and i ate abit(actually maybe quite alot) of my sis's double quarter pounder as well. :)

Our first nite in New York was one of the first few times i saw snow and i lurved it. :) it's so nice to see everywhere coated in white and have snow flying everywhere. :)

Kkays,our trip start off well,hope it'll last. :)

aeRoplaNes are cOoL..

weehees.holidae trip begins with an 18 hr flight.sighh.such a long journey. :( had nothing to do besides eat,slp,watch movies and toileting. :p discovered dis wonderful place at the back of the plane(the pantry) where i could go to walk abt,stretch my legs and EAT!!heees.there is really lotsa fOod dere,kinda like a mini buffet. :) and honestly,i couldn't rmb how many times i had been there. :p tt explains why my mum told me to stop walking abt in the plane. :(

had 5 meals on that dae. :( so bloated after that.but the air stewardess cant stop giving me food.wells,dunno if i shd be happie or sad abt tt. :p

the plane ride was fine actually.dere weren't much turbulence so the journey was considered rather smooth. :) i watched like 6 movies,which included my fav-Innocent Steps.omg.de slasa dance is so nice.and the gurl(i dunnoe her name)danced so well. :) im gonna rewatch it again on the journey back. :)

it was snowing alr when i arrived new york and though it's freezing,de weather is really quite nice then.hees.hmms..i always tot that taking long flights will be a torture,but it dint prove so dis time.thanks alot pantry.i think u made de flight pleasant. :))

wOnderful dae at eCp..

2005-11-24T23:36:00.000-08:00

Beautiful cOastline..

started de dae by wakin up late.i overslept!! :( reason being i very smartly turned off the alaRm clock before it could ring,not wanting to disturb my darling sister hu's slping like a pig. :p the train ride there toOk damn long.so iRritating.and i spent dunno how long waiting for bus 31.tsk.i dint noe which stop to alight until i saw four crazy gurls waving their umbrellas frantically.so funny. :p

it was still drizzling when we reached there and we even tot we had to change plans corz we felt the rain was getting heavier. :( but being adventurous:p we decided to cycle and blade in the rain. :)

Joy and i were partners for the dae as we were the only 2 cyclist.the others were blading.hahaas.she's always complainin that im too slow and keeps asking me to go faster.dear ar,there's seriously smth wrong with my gear thing(i duno wad to call tt).and anyways,im not veh slow k?! :( we were alot infront of the bladers. :p

so funny,joy me and jen hurried to the end of the beach and posted for pictures there as prove.so childish.and our gOal for the dae was to cover the entire beach by reaching both ends.
im still not sure if we achieved that goal of ours as we spent a long time eating. :o)

on our way back to return our bikes and blades,some iRritating guy deliberately tripped jEn!!dumb ass.joy and i were combing the area for that guy and at the same time came up with a plot to haf our revenge.sadly,we dint manage to find him,so poor jen got tripped for nothing.

Brought joy to the area which there was alot of bittress roOts that protrude a lil outta de grd,which made the ride bumpy. :) but she kept nagging,saying she that she wanna go back to de slope at the biRd sanctuary.so naggy.and she has a strange habit of cycling pass puddles.her entire face will lit up wheneva she does so.so cute. :) and she'll always go:"angie,see!!"when she manages to take her hands away frm the handles for abt 2secs.tsktsk.show-off ar joy.. :p

Sat at the breakwaters for awhile and tried to get a tan.but i dun think got results. :( the sun was out only when we were leaving.such a disappointment! :(

went to watch Zathura with dj as the others were either not interested or too tired.we were dashing like mad from lido to cine as we realised that the show in cine was starting in 5mins time.aiyo dear,i think we looked really silly. :( show was ookay,not that gud though as it was rather short. :(

anyways fRidae peeps :) thanks for such a wonderful dae.luv u guys.muacks.must continue our fridae routine. :)

Having the funniest,gossipest,craziest team convo at the moment. Talking abt the funny names our coach gives each of us and guessing the reason behind it.

Caiyunn's one really funny.there was dis training when we had to bowl with only one hand.it's diff to balance,swing and walk at the same time,we all noe.but she kept saying out aloud(real loud) that she cant walk and that she doesn't noe howta.and the funniest thing of all,she's walking as she says that! :) the coach imitates her and it was real hilarious.and i hear sam tried to teach her and she stills dunnoe..wahahahaaas. =p dear ar,plz learn to walk soon k?!!you've been walking fine for the past 17 yrs.so erm.try to find the momentum back?? :) ohoh.and coach calls caiyun the jurong hsewives also.wahahahahas. :p says she bowls veh fast,like hurrying to go market liddat.gurl,dun take it to heart kkays??we all noe u're not a hsewife.

Sam's one is really confusing.the coach calls her popeye and it's been almost a yr already.but guess wad?!we still dunno the reason behind.that dae,we tried asking him and he told her to go ask her bf.aiyo.sam ar.must go ask _ _ _ _ ar. :p

Tina's called Lazybones(at times).hahaas.lazy gurl talking to her friends during training.slacking away.tsktsk.tuna.u are worthy of dis title. :p

As for me.im called ah nia.dun really noe wad it means but trust me,i dun wanna find out. :p there was once i was referred to as strong gurl corz i tried bowling with 2 balls on 1 hand..

Anyways darlings,training wouldn't haf been the way it is, so tiring yet crazy and fun without u guys.there will always be those wonderful memOries of us gRumbling when having to put on weights,offering free laundry services for the stinky weights(they shd really wash them soon),doing wierd stretches together,going for team lunch and movies and outings,trying real hard to loft the ball(esp tina :p),going marketing etc.must jiayou for next yr's a div and A's kkays??!! =) and gurls,plan gurls outing and heAlthy dae soOn!! :)

FRIENDLY and SUBWAY

Todae's our friendly with another 2 schools.woke up early(actually it wasnt tt early) to make pancakes for the team.excuse me pple,were the pancakes tt bad??! :C u guys BARELY ate them.tsktsk.dunnoe how to enjOy good food. :p and they weren't tOo oily lor.i dun understand y did u guys rush to the toilet to wash hands immediately after eating.tsktsk.

The competition was fine.results weren't that goOd but i think tina,me,sam,krist enjoyed ourselves.rite??i hope so.kept thinking of lunch(subway) throughout the game.and dears,y did u all start striking and sparing wheneva i said spare that or you'll hafta eat my pancakes?! :(

Moving on to the friendly match,i was quite disappointed at my scOres.they were quite sucky.couldn't find my line till the second game.tsk.and Mr Max was obviously not useful at all(tina will understand).comparing South Zone,MDIS and dis friendly,think i performed best for MDIS.maybe it was the lanes that made the diff.maybe not.i think i'll hafta start intensive trainin soon.must buck up.hmm..

Anyways,we cancelled training tmr corz we were tired.hahaas.so tmr got dae off. :) gurls(actually mainly me and tina)were thinking of going spa.so exciting. :) hopefully we'll haf betteR skinns after tt.Saw the guys ordering subway todae and omg,it was hilarious.,it was the first time for most of them,so they resorted to the only method they noe--pointing.the gurls had a great time laughing at them. :)

Maybe i'll bake brOwnies for the team on fRidae.hopefully it'll turn out well.i noe it will. :)
