switch. off. / little superhero girl

here

i couldn't find the original site (to be exact, it returns 404 when i entered the page in my web browser). anyway the original one is

http://weblog.garyturner.net/switch/

spent half an hour just to retrieve that page again. i blame peklyn for that! all thanks to her! while reading her blog, only the second entry from top, she thought about switching off computer. my brain went to overdrive. i was recalling the 'switch. off.' parody that i read before years back. yes, literally years back! the parody was dated to january 2003! gosh! i went through the sql backup of my old blog (that died without a trace) just to find the original website, only to discover that it returns 404. damn sad. finally, decided to use web archive. lucky it works! so anytime you need to dig up old website, just use internet archive website!

anyway, got a new keyboard after destroying my other keyboard's L button. it seems that keyboard seems to have a very low life expectancy under my care. two keyboards ago, it lasts a mere 6 months with me. an aopen, obviously lousy. a keyboard ago, a microsoft comfort curve usb keyboard, lasted me less than a year. blah. pretty cocked up huh? even microsoft keyboard don't last long. so my current keyboard is microsoft again. heh. it's ps/2 though. i discovered that usb keyboard has loads of disadvantages (couldn't access bios occassionally is one of them). oh well, this keyboard has disadvantage too. the orientation of home, end, ins, del, p-up, and p-down is vertical instead of the usual horizontal. sigh. must get use to it i guess. at least until i got myself a better keyboard. obviously, this one won't last long too! lol.

and this lyrics below. took my all my effort the past ten minutes to get the lyrics and the next five minutes to fix it. super nice song, by my favourite artist atm.

Little Superhero Girl
Corrinne May

[super nice piano]

I feel like a little girl
trying to conquer the whole wild world
Everybody wants a piece of me
and I just don't know where to run
I've got work piled up to my head
All I want to do is jump into bed
and wash away my troubles with lemonade
Play hide and seek with the boy next door
Take a trip to Singapore
And imagine how I'll make the world a better place

All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognize
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero

Na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na...
yeah...

I were a little girl
Trying to clean up the whole wide world
I'd kick the bad boys back to school
Teach them fighting's just not cool
I'd give every kid a teddy bear
Turn starving people into millionaires
Break glass ceilings with dynamite
Sprinkle a little sugar and spice
Turn the bullies that terrorize
into pink poodles that bark but don't bite

All I need is a good disguise
One where nobody can recognize
That I'm feeling so small
All I need is a secret weapon
I've gotta have faith
Zapping monsters into outer space
I'm gonna be a Superhero

Na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na...

Gonna be a Superhero

Na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
Na-na-na-na-na-na...
Yeah...

Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me
Little Superhero Girl
Little Superhero Girl
Save me from myself

I feel like a little girl
Trying to conquer the whole wide world
