Yesterday, while on the way to school for the paper, i have the honour of being in the same bus with the biggest inconsiderate asshole in the world. You know how a lot of people like to study for their papers while on the way to school for their paper? And being on bus 75, almost everyone on board is NP students having a paper that morning and almost all are busy looking down at their "bible". So this schmuck board the bus and stood directly in front of me ( i was sitting at the middle seat of the last row ) and coincidentally, his friends were sitting at the seats directly beside him. And he seems to have a voice projector in his vocal cords because it's as loud an out-of-tune trumpet. He goes about yakking how the past year paper is tougher to how great it is to have an open book test and he begins talking about the authors of different chinese books! Well, he and his friends are chinese studies students if i'm not wrong but seriously! CONGRATULATION ON HAVING OPEN BOOK EXAM! WooHoo! Okay, now please shut the trap up and let us study in peace! I know it's public transport but at least have the decency to keep your volume down, as what we're taught! Everytime i try to remember something related to Compensation, his voice could be heard and all i can think of is "Dai AiLing (one of the author)" and her books because he can't freaking stop talking about it.

A couple of weeks ago, Carrie Underwood's debut single off her soon-to-be-released second studio album was released to country radio station all across the US and it breaks a whole lot of record, continuing the success off her mega-selling debut album. "So Small" is a song that sings about how we often waste our time magnifying little issues of our life when there are plenty more to life than that. The lyrics is just simply as inspiring as those of her idol, country diva Martina McBride, and the tune somewhat reminds me of Rascal Flatts. Here are the lyrics!
What you got if you aint got love?
The kind that you just wanna give away
It's okay to open up
Go ahead and let the light shine through
I know it's hard on a rainy day
You wanna shut the world out
And just be left alone
Don't run out on your faith
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searching for forever,
Is in your hands
When you figure out love is all that matters, after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
It's so easy to get lost inside
A problem that seems so big, at the time
It's like a river that's so wide
It swallows you whole
While you're sittin round thinking about what you can't change
And worryin' about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast
You better make it count, cause you can't get it back
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Seem so small
Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand
What you've been out there searchin for forever
Is in your hands
Oh, When you figure out love is all that matters after all
It sure makes everything else
Oh it sure makes eveyrthing else
Seem so small
