Empire state of mind



Oooh oooh, New York (2x)
Grew up in a town,
That is famous as a place of movie scenes
Noise is always loud
There are sirenes all around
And the streets are mean
If I could make it here
I could make it anywhere
That’s what they say
Seeing my face in lights
Or my name in marquees found down Broadway
Even if it ain’t all it seems
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I’m from
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
On the avenue, there ain’t never a curfew
Ladies work so hard
Such a melting pot on the corner selling rock
Preachers pray to God
Hail a gypsy cab
Takes me down from Harlem to the Brooklyn Bridge
Someone sleeps tonight with a hunger
For more than from an empty fridge
I’m going to make it by any means
I got a pocketful of dreams
Baby, I’m from
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York
Chorus
One hand in the air for the big city
Street lights, big dreams, all looking pretty
No place in the world that can compared
Put your lighters in the air
Everybody say yeah, yeah yeah
Chorus
New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There’s nothing you can’t do
Now you’re in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York

Lovely song.

「This is It」was awesome. I still can't grasp the fact that MJ isn't here with us anymore. It's sad how people believe fabricated lies about the man, and he gave us so much in return and helping others. And it's true that I don't really feel that he's gone. Throughout the whole movie, I paid extra attention to his jackets, they sum up at simply fabulous! There is no one who can do shoulder pads without looking weird, but he does it with style! And that white collared-studded-black-leather-jacket is a to die for! I got my dose of POPTEEN just earlier this evening after ticket collection, December issues are always the best ever issue throughout the year. Tomorrow I'll stop by Borders to see if TeenVogue is in. Magazines are a girl's choice of read. Like I mentioned on Tweeter, the new collection of Jimmy Choo X H&M, I have to say, I need and want every single piece in my wardrobe right this minute! But then again, we are sad people not to have one here...
what a day today. i m feeling numb right now and i can't get to sleep after coming home from the pub. shit, i was so unlucky since i've to drink this whole glass full of alcohol but it wasn't that much but still my alcohol intake just sucks. i haven't been clubbing/pubbing for the longest time. this was like my first time ever this mth to step into a pub. ha... sounds gay. and the drink tasted so bad... red bull sucks! anyways like wth. i was so paiseh today while playing pool, i actually mistaken this guy for my secondary school mate and i just wished i could leave the place early. haha... as usual i am just so blur! lol. and the knuckle on my index finger is swollen and red. ha i did not know how it came about. i might have just hit it unknowingly. and i was almost late for class today that i did not pack my bag and just grab it, it was so frickin heavy. need to get into the habit of waking up at least an hour before heading to school since i am such a procrastinator....
the weekends was a blast. time flies, and now is already week 2. headed to city hall with mom on saturday. main purpose was to get hold of some magazines, but were not out yet. so instead, we tried out the new food court at marina square . had japanese udon. all i can say is that it tasted awful. it doesn't even have the slightest taste of the traditional kind of udon, but more like some chinese noodle dish. mom ordered the fish & chips. it comes with a very starchy bowl of mushroom soup. gross sunday, met up with sandy in the afternoon. follow up angel, san's bf and one of his friend joined us ktv-ing. sang till 8pm then headed down to cine for pool. i so suck at that game. i keep missing the balls. terrible. after all the excitement for one night, we took a 190 down to lot 1. then a taxi home. i need to elaborate much i guess. oh ya, something which i think was funny happened. Sandy's significant half's friend wanted my number, so he asked sandy for it. then, he s...
