30 August
The sun is sleeping quietly
Once upon a century
Wistful oceans calm and red
Ardent caresses laid to rest
For my dreams I hold my life
For wishes I behold my nights
A truth at the end of time
Losing faith makes a crime
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with this sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
Sorrow has a human heart
From my god it will depart
I´d said before a thousand moons
Never finding where to go
222 days of light
Will be desired by a night
A moment for the poet’s play
Until there’s nothing left to say
I wish for this night-time to last for a life-time
The darkness around me - shores of a solar sea
Oh how I wish to go down with this sun
Sleeping
Weeping
With you
24 August
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden
That's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me
And just forget the world?

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.
My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man yelled at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."
Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.
You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.
Don't try to look so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.
Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Till he opens his eyes, opens his eyes
Where is that simple day
Before colors broke into shades
And how did I ever fade
Into this life, into this life
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day
Morning is waking up
And sometimes it's more than just enough
When all that you need to love
Is in front of your eyes
It's in front of your eyes
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
Sometimes it's hard to find the ground
Cause I keep on falling as I try to get away
From this crazy world
And I never want to let you down
Forgive me if I slip away
When all that I've known is lost and found
I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day
Where has that old friend gone
Lost in a February song
Tell him it won't be long
Till he opens his eyes
Opens his eyes

…. But you’ll have to decide how you want that to affect you.
(Lost on the way, no one to blame, no one to say,
Nothing to do with the way everything's changed)
lost, I feel little like, a child who's lost, a little like,
Everything's changed a lot, I didn't like all of the pain,
(everything's changed)
lost, confused, a lot of it.
It's hard to take, and cause of it, everything's changed.
I thought I'd make it through the pain
Everything's changed
Nothing is plain
Nothing can be explained, nothing can be explained, ...
Given the chance, I would happily dance on the grave of the one
Who shows no remorse
(Lost on the way, no one to blame, no one to say,
Nothing to do with the way everything's changed)
(Lost on the way, no one to blame, no one to say,
Nothing to do with the way everything's changed)

I used to grumble and complain about having to save $X every month. That was a few years back when I first started working.
Now I thank my lucky stars (and my mom, to some extend because of her naggings) that I actually forced myself to save at the initial point, which slowly became a habit month after month.
The frame of my glasses broke. There goes $Y after a visit to the optician this afternoon.
It’s probably only after we have grown up and started working, and slowly start to pay off every single bill, then we’ll probably realize how hard it is for our parents to support us. Especially those with siblings, the amount of $ and effort needed would be like x2, x3, and so on.
Easy to spend, hard to earn.
Moral of the story - Save for a rainy day (and a better future).

… the things you look at, change.

… Perhaps neither of us would die a peaceful death.

This week has been full of babies! New born babies! A colleague, an ex-colleague, my boss! So many babies!
... And then I ask myself ... why???
... Is history repeating itself?
So many questions.
If only there are answers.
4 August
Phew, time really flies! It’s August 2009!
I’m having a hell of a “fun” time with my assignments, battling flu bugs, trying very hard not to get fired!
Oh well.
It’s just another day :)
1 August
It’s funny how a piece of good news in the early morning could dispel most of the previous gloominess.
My colleague finally gave birth to a baby boy! No doubt it was a month odd early but well, the birth of a new life is always something to be happy about.
Despite the gloominess of the entire week, with:
- Monday – Credit card fraud.
- Tuesday – Team member A resigned.
- Wednesday – Team member B resigned.
- Thursday – Extremely low morale + Bitchiness from Team XYZ
- Friday – Team member C moves to HK office.
It’s just another day.
