The Week That Was ...

Finally something somewhat cheerful topic to write about, though there are random bouts in my head .. but it's the same old thinkg rehashing itself...

First off, Gong Xi Fa Cai Xing Nian Kui Le! May the year of the golden boar bring about prosperity and blah blah blah ..

Erm... yea.. if you're not from these nek of the woods.. FYI.. it's the lunar new year, and it's suppose to be rather auspicious ear at that if your Chinese zodiac is that of the piggy. Seems to be good to me so far? Well, for starters I actually made some money whilst putting in a wager or two as it be thenormal scheme of things, plus the usual gluttony and collection of Ang Baos (red packets for good luck), the kitty wasn't too shabby also this year ...

Yes, am not trying to be cheeky here but it sure beats the mundane ""Happy Birthday"s thats been adorning my cakes for the past 24 years....


Yes, also kicked off my birthday celebrations, not that it is such a big deal (might be swallowing my words here), but started witha soiree for the family, which is usually good food and booze. It does seem to be rather routine at times but I don't have really much to complain really ..




Erm.. don't know how the dogs got invlved in this but these 2 seem to have the habit of literally have the habit of barging and sticking their noses into dinners and gatherings ... :)

Soiree No. Deux.



As it would seem to be the case, I'd exploit any opportunity or excuse, to hold a gathering, so hence this time around was for friends and colleagues. Nice to ave brought all my close friends together at ago ... :)

As to what it was compared to that debacle that was last year's, I guess it is a sign of age that this year was far more muted and matured affair. Chilled music, cocktails and fingerfood...

Well, am 25 now, so can't say I am ound and stupid, there's no turning back now .... well.. that would be the rational explanation.. hehe
nb





And if I gaven't said it already, thanks again for helping out with the night's events, Jalz for the Thai finger food (good shit), Genie for helping out, all the sms's and calls of well wishes.. appreciate it ... :) .. Big Ups!

Also, thanks for the:
  • Bag
  • Pendent
  • Belt
  • Bracelet
  • Cufflinks
  • Watch
  • Headphones
  • Angbaos
  • Cake
  • Vouchers
  • Booze

Yup, quite big bundle this year around .. :)

Cheers!

to ...

...no one in particular but to the people that matter….

”… you understand me now … If sometimes you see Im mad … Doncha know that no one alive can always be an angel? … When everything goes wrong you see some bad …

Well Im just a soul whose intentions are good … Oh lord, please dont let me be misunderstood …


Ya know sometimes I seem so carefree … With a joy thats hard to hide … Then sometimes it seems again that all I have is worry … And then you burn to see my other side

But Im just a soul whose intentions are good … Oh lord, please dont let me be misunderstood …

If I seem edgy … I want you to know … I never meant to take it out on you … Life has its problems … And I get more than my share … But thats me one thing I never mean to do …


Im just human … Dont you know I have faults like anyone …Sometimes I find myself alone regretting … … Some simple thing that Ive done

I/m just a soul whose intentions are good … Oh lord, please dont let me be misunderstood …

I try so hard … So dont let me be misunderstood …”

“ … take a look at me cuz i could not care at all … do or die … you'll never make me … cos the world, will never take my heart … though you try, you'll never break me … we want it all, we wanna play this part … wont explain or say i'm sorry … im not ashamed, i'm gonna show my scar … Give a cheer for all the broken … listen here, because it's only… i'm just a man, i'm not a hero … just a boy, whos meant to sing this song … just a man, i'm not a hero … i, don't, care …”

Yes, back to writing random scribble of thoughts, hopes and dreams. If it seems to be that, in some people’s minds and eyes that my attempts to write down what my mind is thinking appears to come off as being pretencious, cheem (deep), deep, complicated and abstract just for the sake of being so, 2 words for you: - Fuck Off.

Indeed, the mind is a bizarrea and somewhat complicated place, and if my thoughts were expressed in this matter, disjointed, abstract and what have you not, simply put it’s my damn thoughts and that would be the best way to explain things.

My blog wasn’t meant to garner an audience, neither was it to write about the mundane (well at time) …

Everything is the same ol same ol, I wouldn’t say that I am working at this juncture, more like just in the office. It appears to be that I have everyone’s dream job, in all fairness it does fuck you up after awhile (try 3 months). And it’s not very reassuring to be reassured that “You don’t have to worry about anything” or “It takes time” or “Things will pick up sooner or later”. There’s this impending guilt that prohressively build up inside of you, to the extent that it manifest into some conspiracy drivened, alterior motive reason as to why you would be working here.

I don’t plan to jump ship, unless I was made to walk the plank. It’s something new to me so what’s the point of hopping here and there, it be a waste of time on both parties and eventually, nothing will be learnt.

I just have this feeling now that I am being pulled in so many different directions, like people are telling me what to do and shit, and in a way it does alter your mindset and perspective on situations, choices and situations. Yes,

I am old enough to make some of this unwanted clutter slide off me, at times you do feel bulletproof, and at times you feel like you’re just a time bomb ticking. You’d be lying to say that these things wouldn’t dog you, we’re only human afterall, so I guess it be a passing phase .. as usual ..

So was that plain English enough for you?
