Big Rock Candy Mountain by Harry McClintock
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
On the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.....
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
darn cute song eh? anyone who wants just come find me! ill send it to u. haha..

 In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage something you've always wanted... though you haven't really thought about it. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |

 You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you? You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you. |

koped this from prick's blog:

People with red Interests like hands-on / problem solving job responsibilities and professions that involve practical, technical, and objective activities. Red Interests include: building, implementing, organizing, producing, and delegating, which often lead to work in manufacturing, managing, directing, small business owning, and surgery.
and my usual style's YELLOW:-
People with yellow styles perform their job responsibilities in a manner that is orderly and planned to meet a known schedule. They prefer to work where things get done with a minimum of interpretation and unexpected change. People with a yellow style tend to be orderly, cautious, structured, loyal, systematic, solitary, methodical, and organized, and usually thrive in a research-oriented, predictable, established, controlled, measurable, orderly environment. You will want to choose a work environment or career path in which your style is welcomed and produces results.
here's something i took from jo teo's blog:-
"I think it is more important to be with someone who you can be yourself with than someone who is your confidante. They aren't the same things to me. The closer you get to know a person, the less you say because the more you know of the reaction. Even if I can't reveal my deep-and-not-so-dark secrets, at least there are no pretentions and no patronising. I just can say and do whatever I want."
agreed teo. totally. and with that post on sensitive people as well. yeps.

cheryl didn't make any new year resolutions for the gregorian new year so i shall grab the chance now and make a few.
1) foster better relationships with my family and try to do my parents proud as much as possible.
2) maintain consistent grades once i enter the university (let's just hope i do)
3) "new friends are silver, old friends are gold. make new friends but keep the old." show stronger appreciation towards my old buds and perhaps try to renew old friendships.
4) friday IS officially "contribute-in-whatever-way-to-a-good-cause-just-because day". make giving without expectation part of my life.
5) stop joking around so much and try to attain some amount of respectability. (you're not getting any younger you know)
6) learn to SHUT UP.
7) maintain a optimistic view towards life (the world can still be saved!) and SMILE. :))))
8) THINK more, LEARN more. (though it might affect the happiness factor)
9) stick to my morals :- "honesty is the best policy" (cuz liars go to hell) and NEVER ever play or manipulate the feelings of people i care for.
10) practice self control and tolerance more often. this sort of control includes anger, jealousy, annoyance, pain etc.
well, 10 resolutions for the new year. a new year a new beginning eh? just as well i didn't make any resolutions during the gregorian new year. THAT new year has proven to be unpleasant the past few years. haha..

cheryl's underpaid. cheryl's gonna quit in about 20 days' time. this is bad. how come it's always something that starts out gd ends badly fer me? ok. next time i hope i don't like you at first sight and remain that way for awhile before i start to change my opinion of you. those sorta friendships always last longer for me. in any case, as long as stuff is more or less solved and people hang onto something that we can decently call "friendship", it's good enough for me. i just don't want stuff to end on a sour note. i can't take it. it's rather painful to see people you once knew and were close to walking on the streets and pretending not to see them. i mean that sucks right? urghhh...
besides other than that i've noticed what i know of the real world is close to zilch. stupid, naive me. i'm finding myself wishing desperately to go back to that more or less safe and protected shell of life-before-work. where people don't scream and yell and basically throw verbal abuses at you and expect you to take it in a calm manner. where everyone comes from a more or less whole, safe family background. where people around you have seen about as much of the world as you and can maintain relatively positive, not-to-cynical view of the world around us. where people don't scheme and do sneaky things behind your back. and yada yada yada.... where is my safe haven mannn?? yes. this job have opened my eyes to the world. opened them freakin wide. but the harder you try to pry them open, the harder i'd wanna shield myself again it. urghhh... sad/horrible/lucky/tragic/happy-go-lucky/intelligent/power-hungry/lying/poor/ rich/insane/lazy/slow/tolerant/cynical/good people. i've seen them all and more in my colleagues and customers. sometimes i wonder if the exhaustion is a physical one or rather, a mental and emotional one 'cause, truthfully, i'm that sort that berton describes as someone who believes that she can still "save the world". sure, my quitting is more or less confirmed. just that perhaps, despite how much i loathe reality, i might still miss this job. bleah.
