Was supposed to go for Hall camp (er... okay, a few milliseconds of it) but I didn't go after all 'cause it was so silly to travel 2 hours there, say hi, then take 2 hours to come back again. And speaking of my piano exam... *sigh* it's on Thursday, and everything just seems to screwed up.
Then there's my parents... man if this is their reaction when I'm just going to be on the other side of Singapore, I can't imagine what they'd have done if I had gotten the scholarship and went off to Wales. It's very nice of them, but... Makes me think of the song Giles sang in the Buffy musical... well the idea is somewhat different, but anyway...
You�re not ready for the world outside
You keep pretending but you just can�t hide
I know I said that I�d be standing by your side
But I�
Your path�s unbeaten and it�s all uphill
And you can meet it but you never will
And I�m the reason that you�re standing still
But I�
I wish that I could say the right words
To lead you through this land
Wish I could play the father
And take you by the hand
Wish I could stay here
But now I understand
I�m standing in the way
The cries around you, you don�t hear at all
Cause you know I�m here to take that call
So you just lie there when you should be standing tall
But I�
I wish I could lay
Your arms down and let you rest at last
Wish I could slay
Your demons, but now that time is past
Wish I could stay here,
Your stalwart standing fast
But I�m standing in the way
I�m just standing in the way
