害怕寂寞去爱没意义
因为无聊才爱更无趣
爱是温柔幻觉

Mask
We wear a mask for so long
We no longer remember the person we are underneath
Beneath this mask there's more than flesh
Beneath this mask there's an idea
And ideas are bulletproof

Life Lessons and Sand Castle
To many, building a sand castle was a kiddy thing but this evening I had a life lesson just seeing a demo at the Sand Castle Corner (yeah...didn't know we had such corner...haha) near the Lagoon Hawker Centre in East Coast Parkway.
Yeah...as most typical Singaporean I was drawn by the crowd crowding around the Sand Castle Corner and I saw this uncle teaching the kids, maids and parents how to build sand castles. First impression, sales talk trying to sell his sand castle building equipment...Second impression, some ex-army (his tone was like a RSM) guy trying to make a living. Third impression, a teacher of life lessons (only to find out later that he gives motivational talks and the creator and patenter of the "Ang Ku Kueh" Sand Castle Builder).
As I stood there listening to him, I was impressed...no doubt his constant taunting of the Singapore education system and how Singaporean kids are pampered and different with the Ang-Mo kids struck a string in me...the more I listen to him the more impressed I was of him pricking at the very fact of life.
"Ideas without action is worthless"
"I don't know, let's try it to see if it works"
"Getting your hands dirty and try it out is more important than standing there to look at what I'm doing"
Probably these are not his exact words but the gist of it. I was really quite impress how he can make sand castle building into a lesson of life especially to the crowd of kids.
Really never judge a book by its cover and you'll never know in some corner of this little red dot...who knows there is always a teacher hidden somewhere where one can learn a life lesson or two.

Sentiments Libéraux
Est-ce que je suis trop libéral avec mes sentiments?
J'espère pas
J'espère pas
Je ne peux pas attendre pour me réveiller demain
Et trouvez dehors cette promesse est vrai
Je ne devrais jamais aller de nouveau au jour avant vous

Numbing Rumblings 2007
So many times
Lingering in my thoughts
I want to know the reason behind it all
Demanding to make the pain and hurt go away
But each time the struggle gets harder and harder
Was it pride?
Fear?
Or was it resentment?
Let it be
Let it just whither and die
Not wanting to ruffle its feathers
But this time it took a longer time
Lie still
Blankly...Quietly...Peacefully
Waiting to be reanimated back into life...

爱．倦怠
我以为我已把手轻轻放开
让失落的心 慢慢的释怀
但我却还沉迷在那不再的未来
伤还未癒合 心碎的感觉 还那么的熟悉
牵你的手仍有余温 但已感觉到你渐渐退去的热情
是累了吗？还是已经没有了感觉？
还爱我吗？还是已经厌倦？
真的不想醒来 面对你对爱情的倦怠
让失落的心 慢慢的释怀
但我却还沉迷在那不再的未来
伤还未癒合 心碎的感觉 还那么的熟悉
牵你的手仍有余温 但已感觉到你渐渐退去的热情
是累了吗？还是已经没有了感觉？
还爱我吗？还是已经厌倦？
真的不想醒来 面对你对爱情的倦怠

What Hurts the Most
[Never found a song so close to my heart....'cher...just want to share this with you...]
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me
It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me
What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do
It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do
Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Way Back Into Love
['cher - If you ever read my blog...hahaha...;-P]
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need'em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not just somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end

Reflections of 33
Took quite a long hiatus since my last entry. Yeah, as Britney Spears will say "Oops I did it again!" Haha...indeed she did it again with her 'bald' move...haha
Had been searching and trying to find new directions for the past 3 months.Getting on feet and releasing the grip of the past to look forward to a better 2007.
The year passed did not end with pomp and circumstance and in fact I got into quite a rut, a mess in the 33 years of my earthly existence. Taking a step back and looking at the months that had gone by...I was simply indulging myself in self-pity and emotional rollercoaster. I've lost friends, lost trusts, lost passions and lost my life (ok don't worry I'm not being suicidal...haha).
Quick reflections of the last months:
27 Jan
Finally decided to let go and move on...no point holding on to something that is no longer yours...
CNY (18 Feb - 20 Feb)
Getting out and start catching up with my friends whom I have neglected and isolated myself from. Thank you all for your concerns and encouragements. You all are really friends indeed.
01 Mar
Final showdown and decided to walk out of the rut. Tendered my resignation.
17 Mar
Was it fate or was it by chance that we finally met...

Is it going to be a Happy New Year
Back from 2 weeks of ICT for the Christmas Holiday.
From the un-nerving "not looking forward to ICT" feel in the beginning to the sudden lost after makes this Christmas even loneli-er and weirder.
2 weeks were all it took for a bunch of us...all new to one another...all forgotten by the ministry between 4-15 years...to bond and build the comradeship like recruits. Maybe it was the sweltering heat in the 1st week and the wet thundery stormy 2nd week that makes us bonded stronger all pushing to go through BMT all over again in 2 weeks. Wow...what an achievement.
Frankly, though I'm glad the hell is over, but somehow I wish it didn't have to end so fast. Maybe I should have been a man in green afterall...haha...I must be out of my mind. But it did cross my mind 12 years ago...hmmm...or maybe I was just a lonely soul seeking company and during the 2 weeks I had abundance of company...haha
Christmas came and went...feeling so stupid to spend it in Orchard Road...seeing everyone spraying foam snow and party streamers at everyone that cross their path...chasing one another till they got a stern warning from the police to stop the ruckus...totally no Christmas mood and no proper countdown in Orchard...lame and alone...*haiz* I must be out of my mind to spend my midnite there...
Now it makes me wonder...will it be a Happy New Year?

夢醒了
我想起你描述夢想天堂的樣子
手指著遠方畫出一棟一棟房子
你傻笑的表情又那麼誠實
所有的信任是從那一刻開始
你給我一個到那片天空的地址
只因為太高摔得我血流不止
帶著傷口回到當初背叛的城市
唯一收容我的卻是自己的影子
想跟著你一輩子
至少這樣的世界沒有現實
想賴著你一輩子
做你感情裡最後一個天使
如果夢醒時還在一起
請容許我們相依為命
絢爛也許一時 平淡走完一世
是我選擇你這樣的男子
就怕夢醒時已分兩地
誰也挽不回這場分離
愛恨可以不分 責任可以不問
天亮了我還是不是 你的女人
天亮了我還是不是 你的女人
﹣﹣﹣ 夢醒了 - 那英

Happy Thanksgiving
We learn
We fall
We heal
We grow
Another life experience under one's belt
Though there's no turkey dinner
Or corn galore
We give thanks to all the teachers in life
Thank You!!
