"Give me the courage to speak as I stand
And spew, my continuous unwavering thoughts
My belief, my 2 cents' worth
The courage to be the one who withstands
All my ideas of a great man
To be the best even if no one is watching
To run as fast as my legs would take me
Even if, I'm the last to cross the line
To let myself die a little
When you take that part of me away"
Shifted the mini-hi fi into my room last last weekend, and hv been blasting the under-utilised machine ever since. Still missed the previous old SONY hi-fi where I can play 3 cds and there is this karaoke function so i cld sing along with the music. Anyway, spent the weekend singing alot of 'oldies' in my room, though strictly speaking, are onli stef and Jay's past albums..Realised that I've to refer to the lyrics booklet now and then as I've lost touch on the songs I used to sing without missing a word hahaz.. guess this spells someting.. either im geting old, or really these songs r getting yesteryear liao?? haz.. I supposed each phase of ur life are accompanied by different songs at the point. Like Stef's debut album reminding me of my JC days, Jay's hito Fantasy album signifying the happening start of my uni life, Stef's 'Start' and 'to be continued' albums bringing me comfort in my 'transition period' when i was 21. And the latest album 'Against the Light'... for some healing effect. Still prefer the older songs thou as they remind me of the good old days...
Bro came back from camp last friday and his head look super small without the hair hahaz.. he got to spend 4 civilian days due to the PH, but wun be coming back for the next weekend. So we went to Vivio for advanced Mother's Day cum MaMa's bdae dinner at this 'No signboard' Rest. Crabs r quite big, prawns r yummy and we had a super full dinner....happy:)
Bro and jie talked abt the recent movies they've watched and im quite surprised that even Bro who's 'trapped' in camp hv watched the recent movies.. hmm....
Anyway, Bro seems to be adapting well in his army life thou its still too early to tell. Muz remember to apply leave soon for his POP :), which happens to be on the day of my 2nd anniversary of working at my 1st job.
Met up with the gals at Central last friday, got to know some updates on MH and Serene, and it's been quite a while since i last saw GS.. glad to know Momo hv gotten her driving license, reinforced my 'drive' to get mine too hahaz.. Talked abt our 'hang-over' nite with JJ, CY, dee and momo, and laughed over all those 'malu' moments... nevertheless, that experience din deter our after-dinner venture out to CQ-Attica where we (the gals) got free entry but elvin gotta pay his cover fee. Had 2 jugs (oh.. Muz remember to pay dee the $, think its $78 total rite?) of gin tonic and vodka ribena. Stupid waiter refused to let us sit at the sofa area coz its reserved for the VIPs=angmohs.. i guess.. coz there's isnt a soul ard on the upper flr where we were.. so we gotta stand ard a table at an empty pub.. but by the time we left the 1st flr is real packed with angmohs.. its really an angmoh pub. Went home with CY and MH, and MH says its her 1st time 'chiong-ing'!! unbelieveable..., muz get her to join us more often:)
Was at my Mdm's table when she was reading an email from boss, i peeped at it and the contents were abt if i cld continue to help out the ad hoc work which i've been complaining abt...she actually mouthed a 'damnit' phrase and commented that boss think 'we r very free'...guess that's wad i like abt, working with her is always 'we' not me alone...Mdm told me she is getting married (finally) at the end of May (that explains her long leave). Finally, coz when i 1st started working under her abt 2 yrs ago, i remembered asking her causally, when is her turn to hv the wedding dinner. She actually replied saying that she might not have one... forgotten how i react last time coz i only meant it to be a causal question. Anyway hv never seen her other half in person myself, thou hv heard from other colleagues. But i bet he muz hv heard abt me, since im alwayz disturbing my mdm after office hours at her table, that when her mobile rang (i presumed shld be him calling her), she wld replied monotonously that she's 'talking to [m name]'. Really happy for her and hope that i can keep my disturbance to the minimal during her long leave.
Injured neighbour flying off tonight with her hubby for her Hokkaido holiday, guess i wld miss her ard in my partition... muz really get used to be working alone without neighbours or LB at nite. Maybe i shld start going home early..
to be continued...
我怀念的。。。 过去单纯美好的小幸福。
P.S. Not sure if the 'poem' at the top is originally from Stef anot.. coz i remembered her posting in some forum, maybe its from some book she read. Anyway quite like the way she included the mumbling words in her song 'That I would be Good'. Quite an 'emo' song, at least for me.
