I felt the earth move!

Today was a very memorable day for strange reasons! I was in Johor this morning for a meeting with a developer. We were sitting in the conference room around lunch time, when suddenly the room..no, the building started to sway! I thought I was falling asleep, hence the swaying, until I noticed water spilling from a glass on the table!

Turns out there was a huge earthquake in Sumatra this afternoon, and people in Singapore and Johor felt the after-effects. Weirdest, scariest moment to date! Some people at the office were really panicking and rushing to evacuate. We had to leave as well, so that the engineers could check the structures of the building. There were lots of cracks everywhere, and apparently, LOTS of damages to the top floor (which we were not on, thank goodness!) What we felt today was nothing. Hopefully something bigger doesn't hit any time soon.

I've hardly been outside my room in days,
'cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays.
The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away,
And it was then I realize the conscience never fades.
When you're young you have this image of your life:That you'll be scrupulous and one day even make a wife.
And you make boundaries you'd never dream to cross,
And if you happen to you wake completely lost.
But I will fight for you, be sure thatI will fight until we're the special two once again.

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,When we're the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'll bleed together,
These arms will not be taught to need another,
'Cause we were the special two.

I remember someone old once said to me:
"That lies will lock you up with truth the only key."
But I was comfortable and warm inside my shell,
And couldn't see this place would soon become my hell.
So is it better to tell and hurt or lie to save their face?
Well I guess the answer is don't do it in the first place.
I know I'm not deserving of your trust from you right now,
But if by chance you change your mind you know I will not let you down'cause we were the special two, and we'll be again.

And we will only need each other, we'll bleed together,
Our hands will not be taught to hold another's,When we're the special two.
And we can only see each other we'll bleed together,
These arms will not be taught to need another...'cause we're the special two.

I step outside my mind's eye's for a minute.
And I look over me like a doctor looking for disease, Or something that could ease the pain.
But nothing cures the hurt you, you bring on by yourself,Just remembering, just remembering how we were...

When we would only need each other, we'd breathe together,
Our hands would not be taught to hold another's,We were the special two.
And we could only see each other, we'd bleed together,
These arms would not be taught to need another,
'Cause we're the special two.
