POWERLESS

Powerless (Say What You Want) - NELLY FURTADO
Paint my face in your magazines
Make it look whiter than it seems
Paint me over with your dreams
Shove away my ethnicity
Burn every notion that I may have a flame inside to fight
And say just what is on my mind
Without offending your might

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
So say what you want
Say what you want

I saw her face outside today
Weatherworn, looking all the rage
They took her passion and her gaze and made a poster
Now it's moccasins we sport
We take the culture and contort
Perhaps only to distort what we are hiding

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless what are you gonna do
But say what you want
Say what you want

Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in, get in
Hey you, the one that don't fit in, how ya, how ya gonna get in
Hey you, the one outside, are you ever gonna get in with your
Broken teeth, broken jaw, broken mojo
Yeah, this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Cuz this life is too short to live it just for you
But when you feel so powerless, what are you gonna do

Heard this song in the car on the way to work this morning and can't seem to get it outta my head. I actually found out that Furtado is actually singing a cover of Diana Ross' song. Hmm.. gotto go hear the original sometime...

Monday as usual, is a PURPLE day for me. Everything dun seem to be going well in the office today. Lots of documents wrongly served, lots of blood-sucking clients came by. I'm just gonna be glad the day is going to be over in half an hour's time.

It has been really quiet at home these past few days coz my mom, sis, bro-in-law & Handsome Boy has gone to Kuantan n Temerloh. They left on Sat morning and will only be back on this coming Friday. Miss my honey-bunny lil' imp of a nephew sooooo much. Wonder how it's gonna be like when I move out? Looks like IS and I will come by every other day to see him.

Speaking of moving out....I have been eating, drinking, living, breathing the new house. I have been poring over many many stacks of decor magazine, browsing Interior designer's websites, and making many many enquiries over the phone. IS has been equally busy, sourcing out contacts for the things we wanna do. In fact some of his high-profile friends has offered their expertise for free. One even got his Feng Shui Master to give us free advice. Hahaha

It seems that a lot of people are sharing our joy. It feels great to know that people feel happy for us too.
