Was supposed run with PQ at ECP after work...

Had to fly her kite..cos I worked till 815pm...

We'll try to make it tomorrow again..

=========
Was supposed to settle my minutes writing...

Had to shelve it one side for the whole day cos of unexpected issues which cropped up...

I'll try again tomorrow I guess...

=========
Was supposed to pack my bag for Manila...

Oh well I did, just a tiny little..

I'll try again tomorrow I guess...

==========
Was supposed to sit down and plan the itinerary for LA as well as the hotels...

Darn I completely forgot about it till now when I'm writing this entry..

Tomorrow again I suppose...

==========
The world is full of suppositions

The world is full of procrastinations

The world is full of tomorrows...

But why focus on the tomorrows when you can focus on the today?

Why wait when you can do it now?

Why suppose when you can say "I have", "I will", "I can"...

Jason Mraz - It's a Lovely Day

Bear with me & my fascination with him...haha..

But this is amazing..
Freestlying music..with a busker in the streets of Centre Pompidou in France again..
Pure talent...

Ah fuck, won't be able to watch his concert here in March..:(

Jason Mraz - Live High

Ok, I admit...I'm falling in love with Jason Mraz
Perhaps I've been a little slow..But oh well..:)

Those fingers of his..works magic on that guitar of his..
And his voice..just his voice alone without any accompaniement is already lovely...

This video here was an impromptu one..which makes it even the more lovely..:)
Trapesing across the streets of France..Beauborg to be exact..but not sure which state is it in though hmm mm....

Peach Blossoms

I would have expected myself to zonk out after downing half a bottle of wine during dinner just now..

On the contrary..I'm pretty awake...

Uncle Dave's 60th birthday celebratuioon... And I was made to sit at a table fyull of kids 10 years my junior. But oh well...thy're kinda entertaining in a way...

Between the 5-6 of us who were drinking..I think we cleared 3 or 4 bottles of wine...easily.

Peach Blossoms at Marina Mandarin. Food was not too bad...but relatively salty...
The kids at my table were really AKS...or Aj Siah Kias.. ha...meaning rich kids...
It was an eye0opener in a way...

I'm still awake now...But I think I should at least force myself to get some shut eye...
Else work will be a zombified process tomorrow....bleah.. ;p

Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful

Life sucks
Yet
Life is wonderful
At the same time

What a paradox

But this song is really nice...enjoy...

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours lyrics

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love

Listen to the music of the moment people, dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate, our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue

But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours

Come on and open up your mind and see like me
(I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and damn you're free
(No more, no more)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
(It cannot wait, I'm sure)

So please don't, there's no need
(There's no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate
(Our time is short)
'Cause our time is short
(This is our fate)
This is, this is, this is our fate
I'm yours

Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours
You best believe, best believe I'm yours

Jason Mraz - Life is Wonderful lyrics

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
It takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

La la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Al la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
It takes some fears to make you trust
It takes those tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ha la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is so full of
Ah la la la la la la life is so rough
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is our love
Ah la la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound
It takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to make a mountain

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life is meaningful
Ha la la la la la life is wonderful
Ha la la la la la life it is...so... wonderful
It is so meaningful
It is so wonderful
It is meaningful
It is wonderful
It is meaningful
It goes full circle
Wonderful
Meaningful
Full circle
Wonderful

blading...

Blading was eventful today again haha...fell flat on the ground at least 2-3 times today haa..
In front of all the kids I was learning blading with...

Oh well fuck it!! I managed to do the toe roll today...mighty proud of it.. haha...
Though my toe roll is not a perfect one...(it goes sideways instead of straight ahead haha)

Supposed to learn T-stop soon...but I'll miss two lessons ahead...:( hmm mm...

Had a lovely time sweating and burning under the sun...Call me "sick" but I actually enjoy sweating under then sun in such circumstances... haha...

My bunions are aching again though...:(

Cover version of "I'm Yours"

Very lovely cover version of "I'm Yours"..
And she's cute!! haha...Lovely girl..

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours

I just love this song..:)

Je me dit. I tell myself.

To change the way I think about things.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes it doesn't.
So what? Things have happened. Fuck it. Learn from it. Then move on.

I'll try my best not to lose faith in relationships. I'll try not to be apprehensive about future relationships, if any.
I cried rivers last weekend. And then I told myself, I cannot dwell on things anymore and I'll not shed another tear over this anymore.
So far, I've done good. Very good.

It's been an emotional rollercoaster of sorts.
Hurt, disappointment, pain, confusion, frustration, loss, anger, sadness, angst.

It's been 10 years since I've spent a Vday as a singleton. Voila.
Did not realise that it's been so long. Two failed relationships, each lasting 5 years.

Yet another closed chapter in my life.

I'll let the book sit there for awhile. I'm too tired to flip to the next page at the moment.
Or maybe deep down I'm just afraid of a blank page, or another uncompleted novel.
Hmm.

Le Frenchies

It was a lovely night yesterday...with the Frenchies!

5 of us: Cher, Kyne, Yang Ching, Tung Ling & myself...
Drinking, laughing, squabbling, gorging...

A very interesting mix of people...:)
With the youngest being only 20 and the oldest being around 45...

You would have thought that we would be conversing in French at least a little...
Oh well, I think we did. Perhaps for like 1% of the whole night hahha....

We were at Oosters in Suntec.
Their mussels in white wine seem to have lost its kick. Either that or its chefs is really screwed up these days...The soup was disappointing...totally unlike the other time when I went with Geraldine & Aaron...

The rest all went separate ways after our 2-hours plus dinner...

Kyne & I popped by to Paulaners for a 2nd session...
Shared a bottle of red wine (and a plate of sauerkraut & sausages) and just talked the night away...oh well, for the next 4 hours at least hahha...
Our dreams, worries, past, present, future, work....

Lovely lovely night...
I laughed more last night than the whole of last week combined...

Come to think of it, I laughed more this week than the whole of last month combined...
Friends and family do make a difference to your life...:)

Le Musique

Music makes my world...:)

And I find it amazing how music can make or break one's mood...

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

He left no time to regret
Kept his dick wet
With his same old safe bet
Me and my head high
And my tears dry
Get on without my guy

You went back to what you knew
So far removed from all that we went through
And I tread a troubled track
My odds are stacked
I'll go back to black

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to.....
I go back to us

I love you much
It's not enough
You love blow and I love puff
And life is like a pipe
And I'm a tiny penny rolling up the walls inside

We only said goodbye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

Black, black, black, black, black, black, black,
I go back to
I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to

We only said good-bye with words
I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to black

How apt

Legs are breaking

Bro Kel went running with me again tonight...My pseudo personal trainer haa...

It's nice to have someone push you and pace you...:)
To hear footfalls next to you...To feel another being next to you...
A comforting rhythm...

Am not too sure how far I covered today...3km? More? Hmm mm...
It felt far...haha..I forsee jelly legs tomorrow.

Anyway, pigging is the best way to make yourself happy after slogging...:)
Horfun, iced milo and chicken wings for dinner after that...or was it considered supper? hee..

beezee bee & her little snippets

It's been hectic..and will still be till mid-year at least.

Work has been pretty consuming. Little little things adding up.
Admin, operations, policy, projects, board meeting, the trips...

Personal life was turned upside down...trying to get some semblance of order..
So far so good, hmm hopefully...there's still loose ends to tie dead knots to...

Pretty tiring...
BUT...I will survive!!

=============
Hmm...I think I might be slated for a promotion. Hope I don't jinx things by voicing it out here.
Oh well...fate has dealt me surprises, happiness and also disappointments...
Will see how it goes...

The boss hinted at it this evening...told me to look out for an email tomorrow..
Hmm....wonder what it's all about...

A promo in terms of grade is still a good thing hehe....more $$....:)

=============
Shucks...the album ERA 2 has turned out to be a little disappointing...
So so different from ERA 1.

I'll post a song from ERA 1 here later....

=============
BKK has been slated for end April...
With the sec sch peeps...woot! haha....pigging out session hopefully....

=============
Will be at Oosters tomorrow night...(or rather tonight) with the French peeps...

Am oh so looking forward to the mussels in white wine...power!!! :)

my little stomach

Had dinner with Daniel just now...
Went to Brotzeit again...

And I think I ate like a cow haha...I definitely had more than him...
And at the end of our dinner and drinks...I actually still had room for more...

My stomach's a very strange organ.

On good days, it can take in tons of stuff...
On bad days, it can take nothing in...

It's in a happy mood these two days...
Wonder how it's mood will be like tomorrow...hmm mm...:)
