Lenka - TROUBLE IS A FRIEND -

Trouble he will find you no matter where you go, oh oh

No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow, oh oh

The eye of the storm or the cry in the mourn, oh oh

You're fine for a while but you start to lose control

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!

Trouble is a friend but trouble is a foe, oh oh
And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow, oh oh
He sees what I see and he knows what I know, oh oh
So don't forget as you ease on down the road

He's there in the dark, he's there in my heart
He waits in the wings, he's gotta play a part
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh

So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm
I won't let him win, but I'm a sucker for his charm
Trouble is a friend, yeah trouble is a friend of mine, oh oh!


Oh how I hate the way he makes me feel
And how I try to make him leave, I try
Oh oh, I try!

LENKA'S TROUBLE IS A FRIEND







Eversince a friend of mine mentioned about this song, i haven't been able to stop listening to it. i guess i can spend hours playing it over and over again. Geeky perhaps, but I'm not embarrassed even if everybody knows i can hardly click the stop button on youtube when the song is being played!

To me, this song is about everyone. most people have problems in life, no matter how hard they try to avoid them. In my case, one of the problems I have often had is my weight. it's like yoyo weight, once it goes down, it goes up the next day. I didn't use to like being called chubby or being fat itself. it's so annoying when people just look at you straight in the eyes, and say "i think you've gained weight." It is so not fun, especially when that phrase is mentioned when i am in a crowd. so not nice :-(

just a few minutes ago, a girl asked if I was pregnant. i was like, no no I am not. then she, literally said, but you're so fat.

oh dear, i know that and you don't need to emphasize me being fat. let's just be realistic, I'm not overweight or obese. I could be overweight if I didnt stop eating rice , or start eating less carbs. I haven't had any rice for three days, and I wish it'll go on like this for good. reminds me of years ago when I actually didn't eat rice for like a  year and I also joined a gym and I eventually lost seven kilograms, and I looked good. All my clothes fit me very well. That's the best part of being slim :-) 

It's friday (at last), but i cant be too happy because i have got to teach again tomorrow morning, remember "it's a morning class!!" Well what the heck, life still goes on anyways. it's only a two hour class, and the students always come late, so that'll be good. i will still be able to surf through the net while waiting for those latecomers :-)

Happy weekend, enjoy this nice friday. the rain that poured down this morning really has given me that sort of relaxing- i don't wanna work-mood ^^.  yes, Jakarta is dirty, filthy i know. what can you do? you just have to deal with it. Bit it's memorable at least.
