And here are the lyrics

2010-01-05T04:03:00.000-08:00

When you have a fight with him
Sometimes you feel sad and blue
You cry on my shoulder; you give me a sense of hope

Though my heart secretly still aches, aches, aches for you
But when you smile at me, all my pain goes away

I tried my best to not let you know my feelings inside
I was afraid that we would drift apart and so I hide
Holding my breath and biting my lips, how I wish
If you’d just leave him and come to me

Baby, please just don’t hold his hand anymore
‘Cause you should be my lady
I have waited here so long for you
Look at me now

I know that once I play this song, you will
Vow to spend your life with him, not me
How I pray every single night
That this day will never appear before my eyes

You never knew how I felt
And I hated you for that
I wished you would look just a bit sad in front of me

Now my eyes are dry and have no, no, no more tears
I talk to you as if you’re here though I’m alone

Every night, thinking and tossing and turning, I can’t sleep
Maybe I’ve known all along this would happen in the end
I close my eyes yet I can’t let go of this dream
If you’d just leave him and come to me

Baby, just don’t hold his hand when he comes to you
‘Cause you should be my lady
I have waited here so long for you
Look at me now

Though you can never be mine
I will try to forget you
Please don’t give any thought to how hurt I might’ve looked
Though it’ll be hard for me, I know I need to erase you from my heart
No, oh

I know for the longest time, I’ve been a fool
I was living in my illusions
When she sees me even now
She still smiles, not knowing how I’ve felt all along

I am no superman
No man of steel,
I am not super human
Not endowed with special powers

I have no heart of stone
Nor feet of clay
I am human
Prick my finger, see me bleed

I am no angel
Nor am I devil
I am not inhuman
Not devoid of emotion

I am just a man
Ordinary, average
Unremarkable
With hopes and dreams
Plans and aspirations
And a heart to give
When I meet her

So Slick Ace..

Hi!

Today was a major defeat as far as my life goes (Technical term "life fail").
On the way home I was waiting for the traffic lights (just off Pacific highway) next to a group of pretty girls, one who in particular was looking at me (Lazy eye perhaps?). Anyway as I was standing there perfectly still a bug flew past me and I tried to swat it, instead missed, and slapped myself *hardcore* in the face. T__T EMBERRASSMENTTT. Gahhhwwdd even though it wasn't a hard it sounded so loud! (sounded like this --> WaaPssh!). After saying a very audible 'aoww' and rubbing my face I tried to J-Walk across the road and almost got hit by a bus which braked and honked me. FLM GG!

Oh wells, Life goes on :3

=O

Malaysia

2009-09-11T08:53:00.001-07:00

Hi!
Im to tired to write a whole lot about my trip to Malaysia so here are some pictures,
Worth a-thousand words a piece right? Or atleast Fifty (because they are VGA quality).
So heres a short play by play.

Note: any spelling errors are due to my current lack of sleep

Got to the air port and waited around for about 2 hours before boarding Malaysian Airlines 717 jet 013

The flight was pretty good (8hours) as they brought you pretty much what every you wanted to drink (alcho included~ not that great tasting though). On the way I Vsed a passenger (row 55.G) in checkers for 2 hours straight (on computers in-built on the back of the seats infront of you), and watched 2 JackyChan movies.

Arrived at airport at night 10:35pm and got off the plane in to the 35*c Air.

From here took a 10 min train to KL central airport and from there a 30 min train to KL central station. OH EM GE . The malaysian trains talk! they say the destination, eastimated time of arrival and, acutally wish you a good trip! :) they also have TVS on them.

From here went to Grandparents house.

Thats my Dads head in the bottom.

More of their home.

Next morning we went out to the markets for breakfast.

Jon's Guide to Malay markets:
Food: 9.5/10
Service: 6/10 (only because they bring the food TO your table, and the asian waitresses -some- are cute)
Cost:10/10 (CHEAP!! Cheaper then an Asian jewish banker)
Cleanliness: 2/10 (floor is pretty dirty)

Heres a picture of some stalls outside the food market. Idk what they sell.
In the background is a pointy office building.

A picture of the inside of the house. Btw it was quite hot, There was an seprate air con in every room and atleast 2 fans. Oh whilst on the house topic~ it was a nice place only about 1.5RJ (about 500k aud) and it had 24/7 security guards pool (swimming), pool (balls), Gym, Squash court, sauna, MONKEYS ... Yep thats right there were sneaky monkeys that could be seen taking bananas off trees and running up the driveway.

More of their house.

Ok this next picture was at.... (cant remember the name) I think it was called east vally plaza or something. No1. of the shopping malls. This was on the top floor.

On that day SONY were celebrating the release of their FIFA revolution game or something.

*Jon camera happy*

Sort of like Toys R Us. Awsum :)

Giant snakes and ladders. heh noobs.

After that trip I had already tired of shopping. ... I HATE SHOPS >: (

Unfortunately for me there was mroe to come. (more on that later)

I think the same or next day we stopped off at a Indian prayer place. Not understanding the delicate gestures and language of the Priest/ elephant man about not to take photos I once again went camera happy.

Here is a Tomb of one of their saints/ elephants or something

Some Original indian architecture. Oooohhh ..... Aaahhhhh....

This is from the outside. OMG out here there were so many stray dogs (animal dogs.. not human dogs *thinks of specific name* LOL JKSJKS)

Oh yeh it was still under renovation.

more.

and more.

Later that day we went to shop No.2. Oh woe betide me.
We came here by monorail. (tickets 80c Australian)

The place was called BB Plaza. This place was MASSIVE!. There were so many shops covering every inch you could have easily got lost in there for hours... (in my case 3 hours).

There were tons of different shops here, main shops were shoes, Fake dvds, watches, electronics (suprisingly expensive here), Clothes etc.

Jon's Pricing Guide.

Watch: about 3$ ausd

Shoes: about 8$ ausd

Shirts of good quality: about 9$ ausd

Really really fancy fur coat 99$ ausd (this is really pricy for Malaysia!)

Dvds: 1$ ausd

Dresses and other female items: 5-15$ ausd

One of the shops (below) i think it was called Gift land.

DUM DUM! : ( Shopping plaza no 3.

This shopping place consisted of 3 plazas rolled in to one which made it bigger then BB plaza but not as crowded.
Just think of this place being David Jones compared to bbplaza which was like a k-mart.

In the middle of the plazas was a giant beer... which my dad was determined to take a sip of.

~_O dont know him.

This was a display at one of the plazas. there were also power rangers, transformers and starwars ones. BOOO whilst i was here i really had to use the toilet. But when i went in THERE WAS NO PAPER!. instead it was just a hose. yep a water~ hose. My Grandpa explained to me after that this was because the demographics of musilims wearing dresses (sarees <-- spelling probably incorrect).

This was on the way back aftr a day of shopping. This is Malaysias OLD parliment house (below). Its 3 different colors red orange and blue. Hmm.. Dont see any of those around Sydney

JONS HELPFUL NOTEs about different shops in Malaysia:

1. Any place that offers a "FOOT MASSAGE" does not. Some guy told me i dressed nice and handed me card for a foot massage spa called Venus entertainment, it was open from 7pm to 2 am, and had "clean facilities, employees".

2. When some one offers a price tuen your back on them and they will usually drop it by 50%.

Jon: how much is this?

Stall owner: 50Rm

Jon: WHAT! that other guy offered me 30Rm

Stall owner: Ok ok 25 Rm

Jon: no deal 15Rm

Stall owner: 15Rm Fine no less

Jon: ok if you sell it for 10Rm i will buy two? OK?

Stall owner:.... ...... Fine 2 for 20Rm

Jon: *fumbles at pocket* oops forgot my wallet

3. DO NOT FUCK WITH THE GUARDS. Out side main higher class shops there are guards with pump action shotguns. Outside ATMs there are armed guards (assult rifles). Don't mess with them.

Oh also random~ dont walk alone during early morning or night you will get mugged (no options there so just accept it)

DELICIOUS!

this jerky has to be the best jerky in the WORLD!

bought it from a street side vendor

nom nom nom so good =D

The next day we headed into the main area of KL.

THis is the (something) club people play cricket here.

Very nice area.

Outside club.

Still outside club.

More.

Main river in KL it is sooo dirty... heh heh Dirty.... Dirty like a fox. (sleep deprivation kicking in)

This is where one dirty river come together with another dirty river.

Here is a BAZAR. Rofl

When we were walking through some guy cam up to me and put this cream on me( trying to sell it ), i think it was paint because i went all white.

Pray and play area for musilims?

Building with a BIG flag.

Here is some graffitti in a dirty back ally i found rather cool. I think this dude was the last prime minister.

and more.

This was heading off the main road on the way to ... china / india town.

Ok here we are. after about an hour of walking we arrived at china town or as i like to call it cheap-asians-haggling-and-trying-to-rip-off-people town...

Some guy was trying to sell me perfume.

Some guy was trying to sell me wallets.

Some guy was tring to sell me watches.

And yes "Some guy" was actually the same guy.

For lunch we went in to another shopping plaza (i think this one is number 4??) and in here i discovered somethig most amusing. Below is a fish tank in which for only 15Rm per 10 min 5$ Ausd you can put your feet in a tank of water and let little fishies eat the dead skin apprearently exfoliating the skin. Lol. So Dirrrrty. =D

That night went out for dinner again.

This is what i ate.

deepfried groopa

chicken in pot (clay pot)?

and i forget the other one i think it was pork.

Malaysia pride?

The next day we went on a HOP-ON bus. which basicly went around to every site seeing place in KL. for about 130Rm. about 40$ Ausd.

I would recomend it if you guys every go to malaysia as it means you can get on to any "HOP-ON" bus.

The conductor's english wasnt that great though, sorta sounded like he was constupated.

"EHHNUMBER STOP TREE, THE MEUUUSSAAM"

One of the stops was the museum.

This (below) was a big tree I like :)

Sewing guy in the meuseum ... What a 18th century pansy.

These are tomb stones. the bodies are stood vertically. Smart asians find out a way to efficently stock the dead bodies. (PRIDE XD)

Check out my guns... and massive Pistol. LOL (lame)

These are guns. used in some war. some time. idk. Guy gave a talk about them.

WHat are 10 things Jon Knows about Guns after the guide.

10. THEY SHOOT STUFF

WOAHHHH!!!! dragon ball z :)

An old malaysaian throne.

An old malaysian hat. Bwahahah what a funny culture they have?! ^____^

The next stop was the main synagogue of KL.

Annnnnndddd HERE it is!.

Zzzzz.... tired

Anyway here we had to wear funny purple cult robes as you could not go in with shorts (and with women head coverings)

This picture was taken from the synagogue not of he synagogue. look down.

LOL see purple robes. I felt so gangsta with those dress like robes flapping around my bare legs. (lame jk)

In all seriousness it was quite beautiful.

HIGH COURT OF KL.

Jonathan L V. State of KL

This is a pointy tower. (above) i think it came up from a home or something.

Stop after that was the Opra gallery. They had GREAT toilets. (idk just big and nice)

This is the ART gallery. it was a no picture zone.

Back on the bus thi is Malaysias iconic buildings the patronas towers. use to be the tallest in the world (when it was built)

KL tower from the bottom.

This tower is like the Center point. even has a revolving restraunt inside.

hmm I must say that eating food while slowly revolving does acutally make the food taste better :)p

ON THE way to PLAZA .5
This was a funny chinese building.

*points at building and laughs*

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ULTIMATE MALL

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ok get ready for this.

This mall called b square ('b' for something i dont remember) was 13 MASSIVE floors packed with shops, this was a view from the top floor to the 5th lowest floor. and yep they are shops down there.

BUT ON TOP.,,, on top of this monstrosity was .,,,

A FULLY BLOWN THEMEPARK!!!!!

HOORAY -there you go helen some pictures

Lol when you were standing on the bottom floow you could actually see the rollercoster wizzing high above you. and all the floors shook.

*at this point I love Malaysia*

<33

Oh and also i saw this sign, FYI. 4.50 is about the average rate per hour (about 1.66$ Ausd per hour.)

On the way back pictures.

Chocolate car (colors cadbury)

SIGH and that all folks.

Won't forget my time in Malaysia.

Thx for reading :)

2009-08-13T22:31:00.000-07:00

Hi!

Ever you ever forget something important? *waits for reader to think 'yes'*
See! So its not just me!
It seriously took me 5 trys to log in to blogger because I forgot my username~ password~ where I had left my computer.
(lol I brb 5mins)

SDJFKUHGSOvhosd Jons a loser and his blog sux!~ DFJHSKVJHKDFKVH

(back)
You see a Bad memory is a real problem, It even spoilt my chances of dating this girl I use to like.

On my way to work

Hot Mystery person: Oh My Gosh! Jon is that you?!
Jon: *whats her name ... ...*
Jon: *Ewe crap*
Jon: *I know it starts with a J...*
Jon: Ummm HI! .... Jee....rr....m...ahh...ish...y....
Hot Mystery person: Whattt! u cant remember my name?
Jon: Julia, Its Julia ^_^ *phew*
Julia: Oh good you remembered.
Julia: Umm... did you forget to put on pants this morning?
Jon: *looks down* ... oh yes... I... er.. forgot. (shifty eyes)
Julia: *runs away*

Ok so maybe that wasnt so much memory. But still.

Personally i like to blame everyting on drug pharmaceuticals.
#Pharmaceutical Rant#
Stupid pharmaceuticals... oh sure its so easy to produce paste a gel that makes my teeth whiter but they can't even make me a one tiny little Super Pill that gives me a exceptionally good memory with smouldering good looks and 20/20 vision.

Lol I'm all ranted out Ttyl =D

Lest we forget.
JonL

P.s. OKOK i admit this is VERY RANDOM like on a scale of 1 to......2 its a 2 but atm im V. Sleep deprived =D

Anything and Everything

2009-08-09T21:33:00.000-07:00

Hi! Don't you think it would be awesome to be famous on TV? Not only can you be seen by millions of judgemental people you can also give great shout outs (Hi Mum!).

But i guess after a while it would be kind of tiring, I mean with the press and all always asking what you are up to and if have time to talk, Surely you would run out of things to say after a while!

Reporter: Jon do you have any quick words for us?
Jon: Err. Apple, car, Emu, Wind resistance, Waffles
Reporter: O_o" thanks.

And for a real example take famous TV personality Dr Phil. After being on Tv for years he has become inapt at normal speech

@ Mc Donalds

Dr Phil: "Nowww Donnie, Don't try give mee an pebble an' call it a magic lamp, nowww Look deep ennside yourr self and bee 'onnest, Help me to help you to help me help youuu"
Cashier: "sooo.. your saying you want the coffee?"
Dr Phil: "Like the bear raises its cubs, No one else can change you, you must change you if YOU want to change"
Cashier: =_=?

I guess (Luckily) the only way for some of us to be 'on' the television is to sit on it.

A Jelly For Your Thoughts?

2009-08-09T16:30:00.001-07:00

Hi! Isn't it funny how some people are starting to use food as an adjective? I'm sure you have all heard of the expression "Cool bananas"? I myself was introduced to this saying back in 2004 when i was working my 1st job at Toys R Us.

Work persons: Hey whats up?
Jon: Umm. Notmuch ^_______^
Work persons: oh Cool bananas
*work persons walks away*
Jon: >_O? dubber-ewe teeee efffff?

... After this my 1st thoughts were: "Whats cool about bananas" and my 2nd was "was she making a racist comment about the color of bananas?" Then "OHH EMMM GEE SHEs A BANANA HATER!" . After that day i regarded her as a semi-racist-banana hater. [[[ SORRY AMANDA! ^____^ ]]]

So what I'm Proposing is that there is an official list of these "food adjectives which every one can refer to hence avoiding confusion, mis-understanding, and calling people racist.

List Of some of Jons Food Adjectives:
Cool Bananas - Cool (to be cool, also discribing something as cool)
Steak Sauce - Awesome (coz' stake sauce is just so Awesome)
Weak Sauce - Opposite of Steak Sauce
Juicy watermelon - ... When something is as juicy as a watermelon? (may only apply to a discribing a watermelon)

Open to ideas just leave them in a comment ^_____________^

Blogging is hard =/

2009-04-14T18:47:00.001-07:00

Dear, Bloggy.

Today was a very boring, I started off with me setting up the new computers. There were cockroaches waiting in some of the boxes and when I opened them they jumped out and surprised me. Yucky cockroaches *Jon stomps on cockroaches*

The internet was also down (at 8:00am) and so I didn’t have a chance to check my helpdesk mail. And now I am typing this blog on word as the internet is still down (at 4:00pm) =( Poor me

Anyway my manager has just left so me and my work Buddy are about to play games =D.

2009-04-09T09:47:00.000-07:00

The Primordial Eggplant

2009-04-08T15:37:00.000-07:00

Ohh Mahh Gohh!! My eyes are runny, my head hurts and I feel like a retarded Primordial Eggplant **Jon picks at his eye** This morning has started out a bit.. well, late I guess is the only way to describe it, you see after waking up late, due to going to bed late, I ate breakfast late, got dressed late and then went to work late, after which my girlfriend called me and told me she was late =O … Lol, Okay luckily the last one wasn’t true, but any way here I am now in my Primordial Eggplant like state staring blankly at the fuzzy comforting glow of the computer screen while lightly inhaling the smell of pasta which my supervisor is eating. From behind me a talkative Irish lady (Jon’s other manger) penetrates my state of Eggplant-ty meditation. Hmm **Jon rests his head in his palms and slowly lulls off to sleep **

**Jon is a dark purple Primordial Eggplant egg plant with two big round eyes, he is lying in the dirt on a farm’s vegetable patch looking up at the sky. “Omg how great is this.. So relaxing.. Being an eggplant is the B.O.M.B” Jon the egg plant rocks back and forward a bit enjoying the warm sun. SUDDENLY a brown boot lands next to him “OMG WHAT IS THAT?” Slowly a figure moves forward, its head blocking out the sun with a red dot in where its eye should be (like the terminator). “AGHHHH DON’T EAT ME!!!!” egg plant Jon screams thrashing around.**

**Jon looks up** What the heck? **Jon’s manager is shaking the back of his chair looking at Jon's monitor “What’s that? Jon is a dark purple Primordial Eggplant egg plant???” Crap I better go =D until next time!

Grand Opening of Jon-A-Fan's Bloggy!!!

2009-04-06T20:34:00.000-07:00

**Jon is standing alone under a spotlight dressed in a black tuxedo, shiny top hat and rose in his breast pocket, a bead of sweat rolls down his forehead as he nervously clears his throat **

WELCOME! WELCOME ALL TO THE OPENING OF MY VERY FIRST BLOG! **Jon pauses to hear audience's clap, one person Boos** Get stuffed you =] Anyway as I was saying I'm new to this whole blogging 'scene' so if at any stage you dont understand what I'm saying or feel a little lost please feel free to skip ahead or alternatively, learn English Jks.

If you don't know me theres a little about me over here **Gestures to the right of the screen** or you can continue to read my bloggy and discover the true Jon over time =]

Any who Enjoy!

P.s. To any thieves who are cause stealing exerts from my Bloggy at any stage, I will hunt you down and and steal your pants >:D
