Reading Again

one of the mothers at Kumon reads a lot and i miss reading - can't remember the last time i actually sat down to read a book. i asked her if i could borrow some of her books (this was last week) and she said that she would bring some. was real surprise when she rang me yesterday asking me to go over to her house to pick the books that i want as she said it was pointless she choosing and i didn't like her choices. what an adventure it was looking for her house - got lost three times! my Kids had a blast - now they know how bad their mother is at following directions - ha ha ha ha. i can't believe the amount of books she has - wow! i'm so happy - getting lost was worth it. got three books only as i didn't want to appear greedy on my first visit ;)

it didn't rain today but it was sure windy. doors in the house kept slamming - shocked me!

check out who dropped by for dinner - it's been a really long while since we had satay.

satay from Lok Kawi

♥ the sauce as it was thick and spicy

enjoy the video and hope everyone has a great weekend!



Crashed on the floor when I moved in
This little bungalow with some strange new friends
Stay up too late, and I'm too thin
We promise each other it's til the end
Now we're spinning empty bottles
It's the five of us
With pretty eyed boys girls die to trust
I can't resist the day
No, I can't resist the day
Jenny screams out and it's no pose
'Cause when she dances she goes and goes
Beer through the nose on an inside joke
I'm so excited, I haven't spoken
And she's so pretty, and she's so sure
Maybe I'm more clever than a girl like her
The summer's all in bloom
The summer is ending soon

It's alright and it's nice not to be so alone
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses

Maybe I'm a little bit over my head
I come undone at the things he said
And he's so funny in his bright red shirt
We were all in love and we all got hurt
I sneak into his car's cracked leather seat
The smell of gasoline in the summer heat
Boy, we're going way too fast
It's all too sweet to last

It's alright
And I put myself in his hands
But I hold on to your secrets in white houses
Love, or something ignites in my veins
And I pray it never fades in white houses

My first time, hard to explain
Rush of blood, oh, and a little bit of pain
On a cloudy day, it's more common than you think
He's my first mistake

Maybe you were all faster than me
Give each other up so easily
These silly little wounds will never mend
I feel so far from where I've been
So I go, and I will not be back here again
I'm gone as the day is fading on white houses
I lie, put my injuries all in the dust
In my heart is the five of us
In white houses

And you, maybe you'll remember me
What I gave is yours to keep
In white houses
In white houses
In white houses
