KANYE WEST
"Gold Digger"
(feat. Jamie Foxx)

[Jamie Foxx]
She take my money when I'm in need
Yea she's a trifflin friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digga way over town
That dig's on me

[Chorus:]
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
Get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
Get down girl gone head

[Verse 1:]
Cutie the bomb
Met her at a beauty salon
With a baby louis vuitton
Under her underarm
She said I can tell you ROC
I can tell by ya charm
Far as girls you got a flock
I can tell by ya charm and ya arm
but I'm lookin for the one
have you seen her
My psychic told me she have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Ok get ya kids but then they got their friends
I Pulled up in the Benz, they all got up In
We all went to Den and then I had to pay
If you fuckin with this girl then you betta be payed
You know why
It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she use to fuck wit Usher
I dont care what none of yall say I still love her

[Chorus:]
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
but she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head

[Verse 2:]
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids
His baby momma's car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV Any Given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was spose to buy ya shorty TYCO with ya money
She went to the doctor got lypo with ya money
She walkin around lookin like Michael with ya money
Should of got that insured got GEICO for ya moneeey
If you aint no punk holla We Want Prenup
WE WANT PRENUP!, Yeaah
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave yo ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

[Chorus:]
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in Need)
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
(She takes my money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger (When I'm in need)
but she ain't messin' wit no broke niggaz
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head get down (I gotta leave)
get down girl gone head

[Verse 3:]
Now I aint sayin you a gold digger you got needs
You dont want ya dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You got out to eat and he cant pay yall cant leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But why yall washin watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datson
He got that ambition baby look in his eyes
This week he moppin floorz next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's ballin but yea thats nice
And they gone keep callin and tryin
But you stay right girl
But when you get on he leave yo a** for a white girl

Get down girl gone head get down
Get down girl gone head get down
get down girl gone head get down
get down girl gone head
(lemme hear dat bak)

anticipation mounts...

i think the excitement of the upcoming trip peaked too early :S can feel it plateau-ing off already...wargh!

that being said, i am still all agog about the forthcoming trip...the last time i went to shanghai, i saw basically nothing cos it was a business trip by which i got in late late in the night and the next day i was off to chongqing for the site survey....and after the site survey got hijacked by the F's frens to follow them down to hangzhou for an overnighter...can't believe it right? all the way there and see bollacks...warao....*smack head*

so tomorrow night i will be departing good ole s'pore for beijing....can't wait to see the forbidden city, tiananmen square, the summer palace and wangfujing...my trigger finger's all spazzo and twitchy...hope i have enuff SD cards for the digicam...

after beijing will be headed to shanghai for about 6 days (3 on my own after the tour ends)...the wife is dying to go shopping there...and i'm sure i will be half-dead acting as her coolie :)) we will probably head down from shanghai to hangzhou when we are on our own...will be nice to see the xi hu (WEST LAKE) again.....beautiful places...very picturesque :D

truth be told, i am just happy to take the break from work...many things on my mind regarding business and the future and my head's aching from having to process so much information...

oh well...

will probably only blog after i get back from cheenaobiangland...till then, cheerio!!! *wave*

blimey.....is it the end of the world?

geez, frickin' heavy rain here with lotsa lightning and thunder.....i tot singapore was not supposed to be in the typhoon/hurricane zone? i can hardly see the apartment blocks 200m away...the whole vista is just completely washed out by the incessant blanket of fat wet drops of H2O...

hope it peters out soon else i ain't gonna get to my car anytime soon... :(

hoo-ah!!! it's almost here...

...my china trip, that is...will be away from the night of the 28th oct till 8th nov...a whole 10 calendar days lor...thereafter on 9th nov, it's off to reserbit i go :D altogether 20 days away from the office...guess that should be enuff of a break for jaded ole me...

picked up my plane tix last evening....rushed like hell after work to get down to the travel agency...because this trip was booked thru a citibank promo, we got a 3D2N package in bangkok FOC....wifey happy only! we made the bookings for the bangkok trip for 7th to 9th jan 06...there's a chance that peaches and sunshine might come along too....should be fun if that happens...sunshine has to convince peaches though...

horridae ai lai liao lo... :D

toodle-loo!!! *wave*

brilliant song for a brilliant drive :D

yep....i was listening to this repeatedly over and over again ad nauseum thruout last sunday :D

blimey, what a song.....

=========================================

Artist: Keith Urban
Song: Who Wouldnt Wanna Be Me

I got no money in pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
I had a job and I lost it
But it wont get to me

Cause I'm ridin' with my baby
And it's a brand new day
We're on the wheels of an angel
Flyin' away

Chorus:
And the sun is shinin'
This road keeps windin'
Through the prettiest country
From Georgia 2 Tennessee
And I got the one I love beside me
My troubles behind me
I'm alive and I'm free
Who wouldnt wanna b me?

Now she's strummin' on my six-string
Across her pretty knees
Shes stompin' out a rhythm
And singin' to me
The sweetest song

Repeat Chorus 2X

I got not money in my pockets
I got a hole in my jeans
We're on the wheels of an angel
Now she's strummin' on my six-string
Across her pretty knees
Shes stompin' out a rhythm
And singin' to me

what a nice drive...'cept for the morning brainfart

sunday morning....16th oct....such nice weather at 0545...cooling and perfect for a drive with the top down...

miata sg organised a drive upto port dickson to meet up with mx5my people and i eagerly joined up as the last long drive i had up north was pretty much 11 months back (the famed 4 days of cheonging all around m'sia with the linkers)...

woke up, took a nice hot shower and happily grabbed my barang barang which i packed the night before and shot off from yishun to raffles marina to RV with the gang...beautiful drive whilst cruising @ 85 kmh all the way...

got there, said hello, grabbed the white card off dissey, whipped out the passport and went NI NABE MOTHERPOOK CHOW TURTLE!!! (or something to that effect).....what stared back at me from the first page was......none other than wifey's picture!!!!!!!!!!

evidently i had packed her ppt into my bag instead of mine......trust me to be a blurtoad enuff not to check the ppt... wararaaaggghhh!!! :(

well...suffice to say that i had to blast off home and back in order to exchange the ppt....had to sneakily creep into the house to exchange and go out again...otherwise if she woke up and found out, sure kena hantum until bo chun *lol*

fortunately had the sweeper car and another one waiting on me when i got back to the RV...the rest having left around half an hour earlier...so we just rushed off thru tuas 2nd link and headed right up.....didn't go too horribly fast as we wanted to enjoy the drive too without being overly-stressed....therefore cruised at around 130...

met the rest of the convoy at yong peng layover and decided to let them go ahead whilst we took a longer breather....then whilst trying to catch up to them, we encountered the dreaded roadblock cum "donation booth".......BAH! and they say they are trying to stop graft in the public services upnorth.... *rolling eyes*...oh well, RM50 is my license to speed some more lor...wakakkaaka....

eventually made it to port dickson as the last group....hung out at the seasports and sailing club...makan, drinks, teh tarik, some beach volleyball and best yet, watching alonso take the chequered flag and renault win the constructor's in f1 this year....shiok!!!

when we left at around 4pm, weather was decidedly FU'd.....plenty of heavy drizzle and occasional heavy rain...as 2 of the other chaps were running on semislicks, decided to take things easy on the way down....no one exceeding 120...running on the left....too much risks and too high a chance for accidents especially on rwd cars...

sooooo, i made it back at 2000 at yishun...

what a nice way to spend a sunday...albeit not that cheap...give or take about 60 bucks inclusive of the donation but not including petrol.....estimated around 700 km that day including the mad rush home for the ppt...

now we are thinking of doing a cameron highlands one....that's gotta be at least overnight then...

looking forward.... :D

rotten state of affairs *sigh*

dunno what will become of the world....do all the natural disasters occurring signal the imminent end of the world? first last december's tsunamis and now the kashmiri earthquake...what next?

it's terrible what's happened in the kashimiri region of pakistan (and in a small part india)...the devastation as seen in the news and the papers is mind-boggling to say the least...whole towns and villages just wiped out from existence like chalkmarks being rubbed out...

with the confirmed death toll in pakistan reaching 30,000 and some (and set to increase), and in india at least 865...it's a monumental catastrophe to happen to what is already a relatively poor country....the costs in terms of the dead (apparently a spokesperson for the pres of pakistan said that a whole generation may be lost in the affected area...sheesh) and public/private property destroyed may beggar the south asian nation...

may God have mercy on the lost souls and their families...and for those who remain, grant them succour and strength to carry on...

*sigh*

...was it divine intervention?

and there i was thinking whether to skip work today...and i did....not becos i wanted to but becos i had a bit too much indian food and lassi....man, i spent almost all of last night perched on top of the loo....it was bloody excruciating...this morning was so worn out that i had to go see the doc...

fortunately it sorta died down as i gulped down loads water with lomotil...hope it wasn't too much as overdosing on lomotil causes constipation....die lah....from one end of the spectrum to the other... LOL...

NOTE TO SELF - NEVER, EVER AGAIN go for indian food.... :S

oh wow, my very own blog *gush gush*

so i finally get round to doing this....but what heck do i talk about? gee.....

soooo....today's already thursday and i am sorely tempted to skip work tomorrow....have been rather jaded and morose recently and even the wife can tell that i am not in the right frame of mind nowadays...

have been a bit short-tempered and sharp with most things and it just goes to show how much i am bothered with the general things in life so far...damn i need a holiday...

...and thankfully...yes i will be going for a long break from work...10 days in china and 10 days of reservist...time to kick back and chill out, baby!!

till the next time...ciao! ;)
