Song Intro: Hey There Delilah

Actually this is quite a hit song. Furthermore, the story behind it is really interesting. If you check up on wikipedia (article) ( and of course if you believe it). It's a sweet song about a guy liking a girl and saying he has a song for her already... before he even wrote it!! It's the kind of song you put insert your love on name into it.... enjoy...



PLAIN WHITE T'S LYRICS

"Hey There Delilah"

Hey there Delilah
What's it like in New York City?
I'm a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Times Square can't shine as bright as you
I swear it's true

Hey there Delilah
Don't you worry about the distance
I'm right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I'll pay the bills with this guitar
We'll have it good
We'll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I've got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I'd write it all
Even more in love with me you'd fall
We'd have it all

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they've got planes and trains and cars
I'd walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
and we'll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you're to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don't you miss me
Two more years and you'll be done with school
And I'll be making history like I do
You'll know it's all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here's to you
This ones for you

Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me.

Once Is Never Enough :P

Fine… Thank you…

It’s has been a while since I actually wrote something here. As some of you all know, a few things have happen in my life. Firstly, my father passed. He passed on in May. I won’t say he was fighting with many illnesses, but more like his time was up. After having to survive with his leg amputation and overcoming cancer. I think the last 6-7 years have taken a toll on him. I won’t say that he has leaded a bad life and made to suffer in his later years. In fact, I think he rather enjoyed his life.

Born into a well-to-do family, not worrying about when the next meal will come from. Able to do whatever he wanted to do. Choose not to work or choose to work. I guess my dad had it good. However, times change and being caught up in the time zone of not able to adapt to the change has taken its toll on the whole family.

We won’t that bad to begin with. Or after for that matter. My sisters and I still went through school as far as we wanted to go. We were comfortable in the way we live and have happy childhood (at least for me being the youngest).

My dad was a free spirit much like me. We don’t talk much, but have big opinion on things that we believe in. We make friends quite easily and also fall into believing in friend too much. Although I don’t look much like him (as my mother’s friends tell me).

His last days in this world have been tough, with many trips to the hospital and many time spent alone. As we all wish that we have more time with him, especially me. We see him from being able to walk with his stump till not being able to walk. It’s very sad to see him getting bad as days go by, but we have to be happy that he is still there. Many other people have family leave them suddenly, which I feel is a more devastating thing to happen. And to tell you the truth, every time when I go to any wake. In the back of my mind I am thinking. “When will it be my turn to do one?” Many may think that this sound negative, but that is how I am. And very much like him.

And something we share very much is that we do not want people to worry for us. Hence, the title of this entry. Fine… Thank you… That’s what he says through out his whole ordeal of going in and out of hospital and during his last term. He loves his eggs and bread in the morning. His Ben & Jerry ice cream we give him in the afternoon and his staying up late in the night. He loved the silly movies that we show him. And the lullaby that we play for him. His last days were good. I always say that his last days were spent in a hotel, where people took care of him and he was able to live it stress free. Free from being uncomfortable, free to show everyday, free to see different people (nurses, doctors, therapists) seeing and talking to him everyday.

As I write this, I do miss him. I miss him for he was my father and he was always “Fine… Thank you”
