Reverse of "You Belong With Me"

I'm on the phone with my boyfriend, he's upset
He's going off about something that I've said
Cause he doesn't get my humor like you do
You in your room, its a typical Friday night
You listening to the kind of music he doesn't like
And he'll never know my story like you do

But he wears cool shirt, you wears awesome shirt
He's football captain and you're on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day, when i woke up and find
What i'm looking for has been here the whole time

If i could see that you're the one who understand me
Been here all along, so why can't i see?
I belong with you, I belong with you

Walking the street with me and my worn-out jeans
You can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on the park bench, thinking to yourself
Hey, isn't this easy?~~~

And i've got a smile that could light up this whole town
You haven't seen it in a while since he brought me down
I said i'm fine, but you know me better than that
Hey, what i'm doing with a guy like that?

He wears nice shoes, you wears sneakers
He's football captain and you're on the bleachers
Dreaming bout the day, when i woke up and find
What i'm looking for has been here the whole time

If i could see that you're the one who understand me
Been here all along, so why can't i see?
I belong with you, I belong with you~~~

Oh, you remember i'm driving to your house in the middle of the night
You're the one who makes me laugh
When you know i'm about to cry
and you knows my favorite songs
and i tell you about my dreams
Think you know where i belong,
Think you its with you~~~

Can't I see that you're the one who understand me
Been here all along, so why can't i see
I belong with you~~~

Standing by and waiting at my back door
All this time, how could i not know?~~~
Baby, I belong with you, i belong with you
I belong with you
Have i ever thought just maybe
I belong with you, i belong with you~~~

Truly by me ♥♥

I walked miles away
looking for a direction of where it leads me
trying to get out from my tiny world
searching for peace and joy
in the valley of freedom

I fall but i learn to get up
to finish my journey
with something meaningful
to fill it with colors
that is what i'm aiming for

no matter what happen
in the middle of my journey
no matter how difficult it is to move forward
i will and i'm gonna face it with dignity
cause i'm not afraid

i have people around me
and i have God to guide me
to guide me when making decision,
guide my way
to keep me on track with the faith i carry on

dear friends that i have
lets us walk together to achieve our goals
to make our parents proud
to make the world know
that we can make a difference

Yeah, This Is It...

Last Friday, I have two papers for final exams which are the Principle and Practice Management (9am -1130am) and Human Resources (1345pm - 1600pm). Well, the question is easy as well as the essay. Thank God , even though I studied it last minutes, I still can remember the main point of it.
That day was totally pack for us because two exams in one day. Plus, I'm the type of person who would spend exactly 3 hours for that exams. This is because i don't want to waste my time without doing doing my best. This is especially for the essays part.
I love to think more deeper and make my essays more interesting. I want to improve my result, get good result, get a good job and to make my future bright.
I believe that i can achieve my dreams.
After all my exams are over, it was totally a happy ending for me. No more stress at the moment, no more study but i still have to find place for my practical job next year. Another new stress will begin.
That night, my cousin and i went to KDCA to watch Kadazan Movie Premier. The title is "Christmas Homescoming". Its has sad ending. I think is not supposed to end like that.
Hmm.. i'm planning to write new script then i want to send it to the director. I hope he will like it and make movie for it.
Well, after it had finished, me and my cousin went back home. It was a tiring day for me. This lately, I haven't had enough sleep due to studying.
As a conclusion, this is the end of Semester 6 in my life.

My Worst Toothache

Yesterday, I supposed to study for HIC final exam. But too bad I woke up late. And i didn't go for the Homestay Post Morterm meeting. In the afternoon, I did study for the exam but i can't concentrate well. Too much studying barriers Plus, the weather is cool and it is very suitable and comfortable to sleep in the evening. Then, my cousin woke me up to ask whether i'm going to the church for confession. Then, I was like because I wasn't prepared but i did go. I'm kinda worry that I might have no time to do my revision. So to cut off my time, I just prepared mind map about the essays. Well, I think it is helpful. I managed to answer it. And suddenly at night when its time for me to sleep, I've got the worst toothache ever. Feels like my left cheek was swollen. This toothache even makes me headache. I cant sleep until it was 1:30am. I can't even rest my body and mind. I think too much that I'm afraid this toothache might continue until the day i had my exam. That, night I forced myself to eat medicine. Actually, I really don't like to eat medicine but what else I can do. It was too painful. Lastly, I managed to sleep but not entirely comfortable sleep. I can still feel the pain. Hopefully, tonight NO MORE TOOTHACHE. I don't want it. It is too painful. I want to concentrate to study for my last two papers which are the Human Resources and Principle and Practical Management.
