..A story behind every frame..

Somebody
Reba Mcentire

At a diner down on Broadway they make small talk
When she brings his eggs and fills his coffee cup
He jokes about his love life
And tells her he's 'bout ready to give up
That's when she says,"I've been there before
But keep on lookin' 'cause maybe who you're lookin' for is..."

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Across town in a crowded elevator
He can't forget the things that waitress said
He usually reads the paper
But today he reads a strangers face instead
It's that blue-eyed girl from two floors up
Maybe she's the one maybe he could fall in love with

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there is somebody

Now they laugh about the moment that it happened
A moment they'd both missed until that day
When he saw his future in her eyes
Instead of just another friendly face
And he wonders why he searched so long
When she was always there at that diner waiting on

Somebody in the next car
Somebody on the morning train
Somebody in the coffee shop
That you walk right by everyday
Somebody that you look at
But never really see
Somewhere out there
Oh somewhere out there is somebody

had the SIP launch yesterday... met my LO- Mr. Tan Hsien Wei.. hmm... think i can count myself rather lucky to him as a LO. He has plenty of industry experience so i'm sure he's gonna give me good advice. during our classroom session, he mention something about 4 seasons having lotsa of dark corners, so have to be careful when i'm talking. can't really grasp the essence of what he's trying to imply, but deduce that he's telling us not to involve in too much office politics... anyway i'm beginning to feel the 4 seasons vibes already..can't wait for it to start... i'm gonna create a legacy there.

went BIG WALK today.. and damn it.. it wasn't big at all... the goody bag items sucks... the walk was sucky..damn bloody short..and the sun is damn BIG.. so bloody hot and stuffy... hope they improve it next year..

Helped a old granny today.. somehow what she told me tugged my heart strings.. "old liao, can't walk much. thank you uncle." hmm..she wear rather thick glasses, so i might look like a uncle through those goggles. but that's not the point. point is, i fear i'll be like her when i grow older. i wouldn't be able to jump around like a monkey... and i realised i ain't young anymore..i'm gonna be 20 soon.. maybe one third of my life is gone, i predict i wouldn't live long.. just a gut feeling.. i feel that i got lotsa of things undone.. time's running out... thanks auntie! i'll live life to the fullest...

went lau pa sat for "lunch" with sstt yesterday... then walk thru shenton way in my slacks and tshirt.. and yes, i feel so underdressed...-_-''' among all the high rise sky scrapers and those throng of people in biz suit, i feel "small". i feel that i'm still like a little seedling waiting for my turn to germinate in the society..

went les amis for a invitational lunch today.. it was an eye opener and a wonderful experience.. had great food and great wine.. however i realise somehow they are not my type.. i hate those wines and those caviar or those raw sliced shashimi food.. make me wanna puke.. i prefer my mee pok tah or fillet-0-fish. that's where i belong... the heartland.

woke up today feeling wierd.. had a really wierd dream.....

i was selcected to be part of a team of 30 pple to attend a camp... or maybe chalet.. not that sure bout this.. i remember my room is 12 beside ropom 14. can't seem to find room 13. then my roommate is wenhan(scouts fren). then there's 3 beds in the room. so we are both wondering y 3 beds and juz walk out of the room after packing our stuff...i realise i forgot sumthing, i went back.. a girl came out of room 14... hmm...how did she get into that room in the first place.. without her passing us since its a straight corridor... anyway i mustered a "hi" to her and try not to ponder too much.. then everything went smoothly after that... then tingwei came into the picture. he was playing "catching" with wenhan... wierd... then tingwei was chasing wenhan... out iof a sudden wenhan smash the door , hoping tingwei wun get to him, then tingwei run past the door... like a mist... i was like.."WTF..." i ran to the camp chief and explain wat i see and finally he told me, half of my camp mates are actually wandering spirits.. "WTF....WTF...." then i approach ting wei. he then tell me he can't remember much. he juz repeat whatever he did after each semester. means he do the exact same thing at the start of each new semester. and he's not sure y he was dead... then i walk along the camp site and found similar people like tingwei.. familar people that are once my friends.. tears start to flow.. and i'm scared. i went back to my room and see wenhan and the girl sitting there. they are both like ting wei i realise. and i sleeping in the bed between them.
"WTF....WTF....WTF..." sleeping between 2 "ghosts", they are my greatest fear...

i woke up, feeling really tired and brain start to swirl.. what if one day , all my friends start to leave me one by one... and i'm all alone...

i won the 1st prize at the HTM D&D.. the feeling is unexplainable as i've never won any thing in a lucky draw.. anyway kudos to the organisers of the event.. they did the IG proud.. really proud.. after the event, saffron united went to MS's Tuwha Bar... haha.. its my official first time clubbing... and its a whole new experience but i don't like it.. its smoky, noisy and dark there... it evokes a evil kinda of aura to the whole place.. now i know why lots of crime happen in these places.. drugs and fights.. also realise among saffron united, we have quite a bunch of social smokers... eye opener... anyway i can conclude clubbing is no my kinda of thing.. i don't like dancing and drinking..then i stick back what i am best, be a mummy's boy..i still prefer my slow and soft ballads, clean,fresh and tranquil environment and a cosy couch to juz unwind, certainly not dancing with the blasting bass of the amplifier...

sumthing puzzling came across my mind... i always hear on the radio, people dedicating songs to their frenz and ask them to "stay cool and funky" hmm...apparently i went dictionary.com and search on "funky"
1)Having a moldy or musty smell: funky cheese; funky cellars.
2)Having a strong, offensive, unwashed odor.
3)Music. -Of or relating to music that has an earthy quality reminiscent of the blues.
Combining elements of jazz, blues, and soul and characterized by syncopated rhythm and a heavy, repetitive bass line.
4)Slang-Characterized by originality and modishness; unconventional: “a bizarre, funky [hotel] dressed up as a ship, with mock portholes and mirrored ceilings over the beds” (Ann Louise Bardach).
Outlandishly vulgar or eccentric in a humorous or tongue-in-cheek manner; campy: “funky caricatures of sexpot glamour” (Pauline Kael).

wierd....

and another one... when they say blar blar rulez, clar clar rulez... rulez what? the world? then what happen to the government?

i miss the 8 months i spend living alone at tiong bahru..out of a sudden it juz come across my way that its been almost a year since i move back..there's good and bad points staying at different location. at serangoon, i got endless stuff to eat, a family to depend on and my domestic life taken well of. at tiong bahru, i endless stuff to do, no one to depend on and i really have to take careof myself. the 8 months is one of the best days i had in my years of life. i learn how to survive on my own, do my own laundry, change the light bulbs, fixed the blown pipe, cook my own meal, clean up the whole house and most importantly i learn to be independent. i remember whenever i'm hungry in the middle of the night, i'll will make my way to the 7-11 a few blocks away and get a bottle of alcoholic flavoured drink and some tidbits to fill my stomach up. i always hold my own movie marathon as sometimes i feel really bored at everything, even the computer seem to be a bore. i will sit infront of the tv with my oreo and milk and start dunking them. then when my project mates come over to do my project, i will convert the whole living room to a conference room. we pasted mahjong paper all over the walls and have major discussion. Jinde, my poly buddy always come to stay overnight and we had major eating session. we ordered pizza and chicken and drinks lotsa of soft drink. its like a mini party juz for the both of us. not to mention other frenz who came over my house to experiment with different sort of cooking. the most memorable one will be my frenz and i cooked angel hair pasta and it turn out to be like vermicelli. yucks... but most importantly, we had lotsa of fun. i could say this house brings me closer to my frenz but further away from my family.
at tiong bahru, i got tranquility, space and FREEDOM. after each obstacles i overcome while i lived there, i grew more confident and resourceful. it occurs to me that nothing in this world is impossible, is juz boils down to attitude. having the correct attitude and mindset can bring u farther than you can possible imagine. i learn several lessons during my stay tiong bahru.. here's one..
one night i had a terrible stomach upset and its really killing me, i make my tortourous way to the toilet and hoping i could dump some excess baggage out. it didn;t. the pain worsen and on the verge i almost faint, i could feel the toilet spinning. then my images of my family flash past me. "i can;t juz die in the toilet, its not worth it." i crawled out of the toilet and stumbled through the medinice box to find the pochai pills and gobble it down. and juz slept on the floor hoping i could recover the next morning. life is fragile, u never know when its your last moment. i learn to cherish.
indeed living there i gain some i lose some. i wasn't that close to my family anymore. there seems to be a unspoken barrier initially. i'm glad now that the situation has becom better. i'm back to becoming my mum's ah boy.
