Superwoman

All the woman friends I know love this song. Some know it by heart. Some swear by it. The songs made famous by Karyn White. One of my dear ex-girlfriend loves this song and can sing it anywhere. Recently I was given Jaclyn Victors new album and the 1st song of the track was Superwoman. She brought her rendition to it, which was quite lovely. I do wonder is this an anthem for all ladies? Anyway thought I would share with you the lyrics to the song for those who still are un familiar to it.
Early in the morning
I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me
Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking 'bout me

We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurtin' so deep
I've got my pride,
I will not cry
But it's makin' me weak
I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner
Will be waiting for you

But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You like to think that I'm just crazy
When I say that you changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same

You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fairI've got my pride,
I will not cry
Still I can't help but care

I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

I'm not your superwoman (Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (Hey)
And think that everything's okay (Don't let me down, don't you let me down)
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human, yeah)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token (Ooh, ooh) of love from you to me

Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you through good and bad times
But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me
I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me (Oh, no)

If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hooI need love
I need just your love
I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (You can let down)
And think that everything's okayBoy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
I'm not your superwoman

Diary: This Weeks Update

I celebrate Christmas twice a year? How and why you ask? Well simple, you know that the actual Christmas Day is the 25th of December? So when do I celebrate the next one. Well I celebrate it when all the TV channels start showing Christmas programmes in September. That’s ok compared when it used to be in June. Don’t u think its weird that the television programming people cant schedule their programmes properly? Just the other day I watched 2 Christmas movies on HBO.

The week has been quite boring, why? Cause I’m quite low on cash so I had to stay at home and watch TV/DVD’s. Besides that I had the urge to make myself drunk but I firmly said no on the grounds I was doing it for the wrong reasons.

As you know Monday was I was busy playing foosball, well on Tuesday It was back too futsal. I didn’t play too much in fear of injury again. The gals from Mindshare were around so I was mucking about with them. Wednesday I attended ESPN and Start Sports convention at Hilton. Astro also jointly advertised it as well. Padma was giving a speech, which was about sponsorship and sports content. I made a lot of potential clients. Through up the whole presentation was wondering if I could apply for a job in ESPN. Did you know Walt Disney own EPSN and Star Sports? Bet you didn’t know that.

Friday was a sad day, that’s the day I broke up with Isma, We had lunch we talked stuff over. After lunch I just wanted to get out of the office immediately but I had to work so I went to Bangsar to meet up with Padma and Halmy. The urge of having something strong was there but I suppressed the feeling. We ended up at Coffee Bean drinking and watching the ladies. I felt empty

Diary: Ramblings of a Broken Heart


There is a Frank Sinatra Song that I relate to this topic. Its called I wish her love. My girlfriend wanted me to marry her, overlooking the fact that she is Malay how could I marry her. What do I have to offer? How do I make a lady happy when i myself am not stable in life?

She went back to her hometown and when she came back she asked me where our relationship was heading too. Well what could I say? I told her the truth it would go as far as it could go. She couldn’t accept that answer. There is a man apparently eager to marry her back to her hometown and her mum is persisting that she considers him. I must say I was taken quite a back with the proposal. Made me step out of my norm box and take a look at my life from a different perspective.

Eiena had a fit when she knew about Isma and me, she said I 'mempermainkan' her. Well did I? To my defence I did explain how the relationship would be and we both agreed that we would just enjoy each other’s company. Deep down I kind of knew that the relationship would head nowhere. Shari had a migraine when I told her about it. So where do I go from here? I’m not too sure back in the day, this would have been a good excuse to get sloshed and drown the problems away. But as you get older you know to well that doesn’t do squat. I feel I need to break out, shout or scream. Or there is another therapy, which I’m thinking about which is a lil girlish, but who the hell cares… What I’m talking about? Shopping.

As in love live I’m not going to say I lost my faith in love and I’ll NEVER love again. That would be ridiculous, as those who know me know I’m made to love somebody. I’m planning to take the dating game into a whole new way. I would like some privacy in the matter as I’m unsure how I’d be doing this yet. But it’ll happen. Best of luck to Isma may she prosper always. God Bless.

Diary: Mourning

The week was bad, as I had to attend 2 funerals to attend. One was my neighbour who passed away because of heart attack. He leaves behind a widow and 3 children. The other wan also a heart attack was a church member He leaves behind a widow and a daughter. Since two of them died of heart attack my mum took the opportunity to drill how I need to take care of myself.

Sunday was Aunt B, Birthday and we celebrated in Klang at this new Chinese restaurant. Food was good too bad the portions were just too small. Andrew, mum & I was still left famished but we didn’t have anything else cause we just weren’t in the mood. I’d like to say I went to bed but I stayed awake I witnessed to much misery for a week so I thought I would treat myself with something uplifting. I watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory again. I drifted off on the couch for sometime till much later I dragged my feet back to bed. I know its going to be a tiring Monday.

On Monday morning I had a plan, I would endure the tiring meeting Monday leave sharp 6 and by 9 I’d be in my bed. But whenever I plan stuff like this it never works out like you want it too. Padma and Halmy came over for tea as usual on Monday, we had our normal discussion. Lester was the 1st to leave but I stayed back. Padma invited me to his office in Menara Millennium and I agreed. They shared an office with Mindshare and some of the people I knew there like Jo and Fiona. Been long time since I saw them. But what caught my eye was this beautiful Malay girl called Farah. Nice sweet gal whom you know you can have a conversation with. Something I really look for in a girl these days.

Padma’s place had a foosball so we were playing with it for sometime and I must say we had such fun. We played till 10-ish when Padma said he was hungry and we headed to Decanter a restaurant located near Medan Damansara. It was a restaurant secluded in a housing area. It was a very nice quite chill out place. Which I recommend to those who wants to spend time chilling out to talk with friends or that special one. The restaurant has many signature dishes like their homemade pies and homemade cheesecakes. By the time we finished dinner and I headed home it was already midnight. Took a quick bath and I headed to bed as in 5 hours I need to wake up…..

Diary: Futsal

It’s been like 2 weeks since I’ve blog and there is a perfectly good reason why I have not done so… It’s not entirely about work but it is about an injury I picked up while playing futsal. I was playing the keeper and was trying to keep a shot out unfortunately it was a strong one and my arm kind of extended back the wrong way. Now if you asked me was it bad I would deny it cause the pain has gone but for the past 2 weeks the pain head been unbearable. My 2 loyal friends were Deep Heating Cream and the Salonpas. Obviously I had no mood to report anything although I had much to say.

Last Saturday was AKN Mtech’s Futsal Tournament. I joined as organiser and a team-mate. We came up 2nd in the tournament. Proud of my team especially the girls they really were strong and determined to play. Big Ups to Caroline who sustained 2 major injuries while stopping the ball to getting any close to the goal. It was a great futsal competition. I’ll post some of the pictures when I get them.
