Downloaded and listening to Colin Raye's "Love Me" in the background repeatedly now (heard it a few days ago on 933), I realised I did practically nothing the whole of today when the weather is astonishingly good. The only thing I can recall doing is watching "Matrix Revolutions" in the afternoon. Before the movie, I was just stoning at my half-written lab report on my lap top screen for the whole morning. And it is still half-written now. And after returning to my hall when the movie ended, I'm back to dazing at my laptop. What's wrong with me? I simply have no mood to do anything and everything today and even up till now, though I have no school. Instead I spent the whole evening reading through my emails, reading the message histories in ICQ, reading the letters that were read 3 months ago on the plane to London and looking at all the photos I have available online and offline in my dorm.

All of a sudden, I abominate emails and instant messaging...


Love Me - Colin Raye

I read a note my grandma wrote, back in 1923.
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me.
He said, " Boy, you might not understand, but a long long time ago,
grandma's daddy didnt like me none, but i loved your grandma so."

"We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead,
I found this letter, and this is what it said.
'If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down. Darling, wait and see
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be lovin' you, love me'"

I read those words just hours before my grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and grandpa stopped to pray.
I know I'll never seen him cry, in all my 15 years.
But as he said these words to her, his eyes filled up with tears.
"If you get there before I do, don't give up on me.
I'll meet you when my chores are through, I don't know how long I'll be.
But I'm not gonna let you down. Darling, wait and see
And between now and then, till I see you again,
I'll be lovin' you, love me"
