I'm Still Breathing

I leave the gas on
Walk the allies in the dark
Sleep with candles burning
I leave the door unlocked

I'm weaving a rope and
Running all the red lights
Did I get your attention
Cause I'm sending
All the signs that

The clock is ticking
And I'll be giving
My 2 weeks
Pick your favorite
Shade of black
You'd best
Prepare a speech

Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say
That you loved me

[Chorus:]
Cause I'm still breathing
Though we've been
Dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're goin down for sure
Already lost a grip
Best abandon ship

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you wanted better
Better luck off in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
But I swear you didn't care
Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter
And she'd my last tear
It's all for the better
That we end this this year
Let's close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don't say
That you loved me

Cuz I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already been diagnosed
So let's give up the ghost

Cuz I'm still breathing
Though we've been dead for awhile
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already lost a grip on this abandoned ship
Oh..

I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing

keke currently hooked up to this song.. :D Katy Perry - I'm Still Breathing

Arch Collection---Flowchart

This is the current flowchart for my Arch Collection re-designing website assignment:

---Arch Collection---

Hi Joanne. Did you mean the unique selling point for Arch Collection?
I guess I forgot the main focus for the company =) Thanks for reminding.

Anyway after thorough research I finally found the reason for people to buy from Arch Collection! Yay! =D The main craft they focus on is the Heritage Collection. It is a miniature model of real buildings found in Malaysia (made with wood). It is unique and their competitors don't have that!

This is an example:
Christchurch, Melaka
