Dave Rodgers - Nothing Changed

You and I, thinking of all the times we spent together.
Everyday seemed to me like an awakened dream, a picture of perfection
But gradually, as time goes by, seems your love lost its lustre.
With your eyes full of doubt, your suspicions aroused, your voice so full of tension.
Recently you're been pouting, accusing me of unkindness.
Tell me, how could you believe I would ever hurt you so please listen to what I say

I will protect you, don't you forget it, your love means the world to me girl.
You are my angel, nothing will change that, your love is what keeps me strong girl.
Love is forever, time is a healer, let's welcome the joy to come, girl.
Deeper & deeper, sweeter & sweeter, together we'll build a future that lasts.

Losing sight of the precious things that made us special.
Pretty quarrels all day, see our temper are frayed, rejection & depression.
Clever words and conversation won't save us from this heartache.
There's a far better way of expressing ourselves, I'll hold you oh so tightly.
We're both been playing games, let's give this fighting a rest now.
Turn our backs on the past, we'll forget all the pain, the good times are here to stay.

Been a very long while

[CuRRent MooD:] Sick but fine

It has been a long while, so just a small little update.

My house in amidst of renovation and we are so looking forward to it.

I have started on my new job as an IT Project Manager. It will be very challenging, but I have to step into new grounds to improve myself and prove that I can do it.

Oh well :) till next time. Haha

Weird...have I not posted the lyrics before?

Here goes:

Losing all the time
Never say goodbye
But illusion, only mine.
Dance with me
Fancying in my heart
Walking by myself
And I'm feeling like to start
My life away

I just sing everyday
"Take it easy" and say
"Alone again" it's " The power of love"
I just touch every night
Many subjects, all night
This one baby (is) about my love

Carry on, too many times for love
I love played as ever with your heart
I don't know, it's like a fantasy
You're only mine, oh what a melody

Facing every man
Pushing by myself
Oh I'm feeling now and then
Like a fool
Taking every chance
Hanging' over me
And I'm living my romance
The way I like

[CuRRent Song:] Norma Sheffield - Memories (playing in my mind)

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Can't recall...

Norma Sheffield - Memories

Opening the Heaven's door with my darling 
Watching to the moonlight shine in the darkness 
Always with you I spent my best experiences of love 

But you had to go so far away for your work and 
Stay away from me so long; can you imagine? 
Living with you so deeply, miss your lovin' this time 

'Cause you know I won't forget you 
I recall your lovin' tonight 
I can feel your hand in my hand 
'Cause your love is still in my heart 

All my MEMORIES, will keep alive 
All my love for you, will last forever 
MEMORIES, in my heart 
I remember you, your love so many 

MEMORIES, will keep alive 
All my love for you, will last forever 
MEMORIES, in my heart 
I remember you, your love so many times 

Waiting for the time when you will be back home 
Standing by the window I'll see when you'll come 
Turning again a page of my book I'm looking for you 

All the time I spent with you is good to remember 
Holidays and Honey Moon in September 
I can remind the day when we were closer the night

Kylie - Finer Feelings

[CuRRent MooD:] Neutral

[CuRRent Song:] Kylie Minogue - Finer Feelings

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Pokka Green Tea

The finer feelings, the finer feelings

You can't give to me  
Anything, I couldn't get for myself  
I have needs as much as any man  
And I understand the feelings well

I can still have a true heart  
With a free mind  
A good life  
With a good time
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies  
Without some tender meanings  
It ain't love  
Without the finer feelings
 
I get passionate, just like you  
But I have a little self-control 
You just show your selfish attitude 
Your emotion leaves me cold
 
I can still have a true heart 
With a free mind  
A good life  
With a good time
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies 
Without some tender meanings 
It ain't love  
Without the finer feelings
 
The finer, the finer  
The finer feelings
 
It ain't love  
(The finer)  
(The finer)  
(The finer feelings)  
Feelings
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies 
Without some tender meanings  
It ain't love  
Without the finer feelings
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies  
Without some tender meanings  
It ain't love  
Without the finer feelings
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies  
Without some tender meanings  
It ain't love  
Without the finer feelings
 
But what is love  
Without the finer feelings  
It's just sex  
Without the sexual healing  
Passion dies  
Without some tender meanings  
It ain't love

Kylie - Get Outta My Way

[CuRRent MooD:] Tired...and moodless

[CuRRent Song:] No song, but in my mind: Kylie - Get Outta My Way

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Heaven and Earth Green Tea

What's the worst thing that could happen to you?  
Take a chance tonight and try something new  
You're gettin' boring, you're, oh, so boring  
And I don't recognize the zombie you turn into
  
Don't worry 'cause tonight I've got you  
You can take a seat, do what you normally do 
I'm about to let you see 
This is what'll happen if you ain't givin' your girl what she needs
 
Leave you, move on to a perfect stranger  
You talk, I walk, wanna feel the danger 
See me with him and it's turning you on  
It's got me saying, getting me back at the end of the song
 
Get outta my way, get outta my way 
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place  
Get outta my way, way outta my way  
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place 
Get outta my
 
Now I've got a taste, I wanna explore  
Ain't goin' to waste, no, not any more  
You're goin' hard now to win my heart but  
Too many times now you've been comin' up short
 
Don't worry 'cause tonight I've got you  
You can take a seat, do what you normally do  
I'm about to let you see 
This is what'll happen if you ain't givin' your girl what she needs
 
Leave you, move on to a perfect stranger  
You talk, I walk, wanna feel the danger 
See me with him and it's turning you on 
It's got me saying, getting me back at the end of the song
 
Get outta my way, get outta my way  
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place  
Get outta my way, way outta my way 
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place  
Get outta my
 
You know I ain't going home 'cause I wanna stay  
But I won't be alone, no, I have the way  
Now I showed you what I'm made of 
This is what'll happen if you ain't givin' your girl what she needs
 
Leave you, move on to a perfect stranger  
You talk, I walk, wanna feel the danger  
See me with him and it's turning you on 
 It's got me saying, getting me back at the end of the song
 
Get outta my way, get outta my way  
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place 
Get outta my way, way outta my way 
Got no more to say, he's takin' your place  
Get outta my
 
You know I ain't going home  
But I won't be alone  
Now I showed you what I'm made of 
Now I showed you what I'm made of

Working on weekends and late nights

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] McNuggets / Coke

I have to somehow agree that working on weekends and late nights do affect family life, or in my case, yeah you get the drift.

It's not so bad if the deployments are simple ones, but most of them are migrations which meant risks and also plenty of testing here and there. For today, I hit the former which got me set backwards another 3 hours (and still counting).

Oh well, done! No real testing! Too happy liao I stop blogging for now.

Go2 & Christine - Blood On Fire

Way out
Yes yes watch the way out
Freak out, you rock on
No doubt through the way out

Nobody can stop my heartbeat, and for me
Open game is a chance for victory
I never stop the power drive oh not me
All the fun is to turn the tables round

My soul go shake
Show me your way
Don't brake go 'way
Get on the stage
Get tough enough
No fear no doubt
Come on, come on every naughty boys!
Rampage around as a rusher
Get up get up get up and spark out
Crush out! Thrust all, push and
Stay cool
Come on come on boy and go break through

Like everybody
Gotta run in the dark world
And you know there is just no road now

But chasin' hard on your dream
You're gonna burn your soul oh why can't you see

Come with me!!
Young bloods on fire
Gonna keep the power, keep the faith
Run with me
Get back your true hearts
You're the ones, yours the speed, you reckless come on
You got a feeling "Way out"

Too much for me, I'm givin' in - I let go
Crackin' up under pressure runnin' high
He's like a lightning across the sky - I know
This dong fight's goin' ever much harder now

Watch his best face, hell's gone wasted
Puffed babe, do you wanna let her?
Full up energy, got to go babe
Get out and slap ev'ry wack'n craps!
Groovy, kick-bass
Are you ready for this
I'll kick your ass
Pleasure treasure
One man soldier
Out for your life go on and on

So baby don't look back
Look forward to your life
Now you keep fallin' back to the past
Together we just can try
And if we fail we're gonna try again

Come with me!!
Young bloods on fire
Run together like a stormy wind
Run with me
Get back your true hearts
You're the ones, yours the speed, you reckless come on
You got a feeling "Way out"

Go straight far away don't be afraid!
Ride on da time and big wave
Say good-bye to da same night
Anytime rock your eyes
I'll make you fine
No poor right?
There're you & I
With this bangin' play all night!
Hey! That's so rude!!
Act the cool out of the blue!

Come with me!
Young bloods on fire
Gonna keep the power, keep the faith
Run with me
Get back your true hearts
You're the ones, yours the speed, you reckless come on
You got a feeling "Way out"

Young bloods on fire
Run together like a stormy wind
Run with me
Get back your true hearts
You're the ones, yours the speed, you reckless come on
You got a feeling "Way out"

Collin Raye - Love, Me

[CuRRent MooD:] Fine

[CuRRent Song:]Collin Raye - Love, Me

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Mixed Veg Rice / Honey Green Tea

I read a note my Grandma wrote back in 1923
Grandpa kept it in his coat, and he showed it once to me
He said, "Boy, you might not understand, but a long, long time ago,
Grandma's daddy didn't like me none, but I love your Grandma so.

We had this crazy plan to meet and run away together
Get married in the first town we came to and live forever
But nailed to the tree where we were supposed to meet instead
I found this letter, and this is what it said,

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again

I'll be loving you
Love, Me."

I read those words just hours before my Grandma passed away
In the doorway of the church where me and Grandpa stopped to pray
I know I've never seen him cry in all my fifteen years
But as he said these words to her, his eyes fill up with tears

"If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be

But I'm not gonna let you down
Darling wait and see
And between now and then
Til I see you again

I'll be loving you
Love, Me."

The months seemed to have passed by quickly, and it's the end of the year. Many things are coming up as I have to prepare the wedding dinner and traditional wedding stuff. Did I mention I will be holding it on my birthday? Yea...cool eh? It's just us being lazy and not wanting to remember too many dates :P haha...but of course we can't be that choosy when it comes to when our kids will be born...

No no no...no kids yet. LOL, not so soon at least. The coming year is the year of the Dragon, where many Chinese will target to give birth. I will skip that and plan for the year after, which is the Snake. I heard some people say it's not that nice in that year, but to me it's fun - Serene is in the year of the Rat, and as the chinese saying goes, 蛇鼠一窝...

Health has been ups and downs, and tiredness here and there. Work has been very busy, and our biggest client is throwing what has to be the biggest projects in the company. Much work needs to be done, and my Project Manager is certainly gearing us up in the thick of the action, not to mention I will most certainly be helping out Diana, who is the most experienced Techie in the company.

Lots of times I can't help but think that I am blessed in the most silent and hidden ways. I must always remind myself not to be conceited and strive upwards, and not take too much shortcuts...for I know anything is frail in life, and a moment (or many) of mistake could cost aplenty. Many said that 2012 will be a challenging year to the economy and global market (hardly surprising), and I guess I do really have to make sure I am valuable to the company and also to learn as much as I can along the way. John (Project Manager) has a wealth of experience in him and I would love to learn so much regarding project management - and that will certainly be my target in life.

Target in life? I tell myself I shall earn enough to support Serene and afford her not having a full time job. I know that sounds difficult in the high life of Singapore, but a target is important in life, and a target it shall be.

Come along now 2012, I shall wait for you.

Before I start, let us go thru my current song's lyrics...

美美入戏已太深
一步一步颠倒众生
假假真真 付出岁月青春

那情意你可得到几分

花花舞台多缤纷

走着走着岁月无痕

浮浮沉沉 爱恨回荡歌声

惹得你忘了现实的真

也许 千帆过了还在等

也许 笑眼泪光盼到那个人

也许 动了我的情 乱了你的心

蓦然回首 是谁的人生

也许 抖落了一身风尘

也许 不到白头热情不会冷

也许 幻化了乾坤 赢来了掌声

歌声悠悠 流过梦一样人生

(也许 唱落你的泪 唱开你的笑

为你歌唱 就是我要的人生)

Life's like a show, isn't it?

Almost 3 months into the job, it has been super busy. My boss has converted me to perm as of the beginning of this month, and though I'm glad I knew I have to work even harder to pay off the confidence he had in me when he first interviewed me. This company, though small, is a tightly knitted body that communication can get through relatively fast. What is interesting is that my boss is a technology person - most of my colleagues (including myself) and himself are using iPhones for some of the operations, and some of us even has a mobile battery charger provided by the company! Cool eh?

I do look forward to providing more value for the company and not disappoint him.

On a personal note, wedding bells are ringing just near the corner. My ROM is on 20-Aug while my traditional wedding will be on my birthday next year (hope the ang baos will be bigger :P). Lots of prep work needed, and really we had a lot to go through together...but I guess that's what it is about eh?

Looking forward to my future, but let's look at tomorrow - Kylie Minogue's Aphrodite concert!!!

Why I have not blogged for 2 months plus

[CuRRent MooD:] Not sleepy

[CuRRent Song:] None

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Mui Chai + Rice

2 months seemed like an awfully long time to have not blogged, but I believed I have had longer bouts which I didn't. What set the difference this time was not that I didn't have time, but more of the fact I didn't want to blog a low time of my life.

Fact is, I have been jobless since December last year, which is to say I have been over 3 months without a job. I have found it hard that I could survive for so long, let alone be convinced of the fact I can actually be without a job for so long. Interviews I went, waited and ended in naught come and go with so much emotions accompanied, of course including hope and despair. I found it hard to understand ppl with qualifications and without a job, but now I understand and have learned from it.

Truth is, I have tried and trying, but maybe I have not tried enough. There is no avenue left for me to give up on trying as many have pinned hopes on me getting a job, especially Serene who have been encouraging me no matter how much despair I display. I do not need a second reminder to cherish such a woman though :)

This is just an entry to let the oh-so-less people who are following this blog to know that I'm still around, just that life is at a point I can't seem to motivate myself too much to blog about it. I am awaiting for a time I can finally start to talk about my life in an upbeat manner, and till then...thanks everyone.

And of course, with work I can tag my calendar for the Wakin concert in May...

Post #501, Last day of 2010.

[CuRRent MooD:] Hard to find a word for it

[CuRRent Song:] No song

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Pearl Milk Tea (damn sweet)

Well I guess I don't update my blog a lot nowadays, maybe it's laziness or maybe some other matters. I cannot mention anything about work since I'm jobless. Yeah, you heard it right - jobless.

Maybe it came as my own doing, having matters that went out of hand that caused me to lose focus, and now concentrating on reality might deem a little too late. I've been able to survive for the first month but for how long? I do really hope a satisfactory job will come soon.

As a year draws to a close, everyone talks about celebration, about resolutions and I am no exception. This year does bring quite a bit of ups and downs, and testing times. So much marriage questions, so little time, so little money, and of course the jobless part does make me wanna break down at times. I'm still around cos I have my family, my dear, my friends and of cos the Divine One up there somewhere who allows me to be surviving for a reason. Truth be told, no one knows when I'll just suddenly break down without knowing why and how, no one knows whether I'll just disappear from the face of the earth without a care of the world. No one knows, I do not know either.

Sometimes I wish I am not what I am. I wish things are better, I wish things are more normal, I wish for many things in life that I knew that it has to be worked out rather than just being spoken. Having a soft personality can be really testing, so testing till it works out to the very existence in this world. My so-called trying to be understanding personality astounds me at times, and sometimes I do not know whether there is a right or wrong, or whether there is a need to know right or wrong. I do my best to put perspective on others, trying so hard to look at better side of things, but when I don't see it when it comes, I question myself to whether I have done it right.

I realize I tend to be hardly unreasonable, I wonder who agrees with me on that. Anytime anything unreasonable comes out, it will be tamed quickly by the slightest of reasoning. By then, who know or what knows whether what is right or reasonable at all.

2010 was a year of trials, and ended with trials. I know years ahead will tend to be in that direction. Let's just hope I'll be a "better man" after all these years ahead of me.

Happy New Year, everyone.

The 500th post, denoting November, a month left of 2010

[CuRRent MooD:] Tired, lil mood

[CuRRent Song:] (FM98.7) Michael Jackson - Breaking News

[Last FooD/BeveRage:] Subway Roasted Chicken Sandwich / Teh Peng

I don't blog much nowadays, simply at times not easy to find an appropriate mood to do so. It just felt I have so much to do, so much to think, and just that certain amount of time. Yes, I understand I can be lazy at times, but somehow it just feels like it's the continuous nudging thoughts and things that are slowing me down.

At this time of the year, it's always so much thinking and planning and at a loss, it has become quite a routine that this year has not spared me away from it. Again, I have to look for a job as my contract is ending - just an active search into the ideal job got me acknowledging the fact I have to further my credentials. It's again the ITIL/MC certs combo that so many companies are actively looking for, it comes knocking to my door I have to do something about it. Maybe I have to hold on another year of a reasonable job that pays what I want, and I have to continue my certs to be updated and also to gear myself to my ideal appointment, IT Manager. Yeap, that is my aim (I'm not overly ambitious to go up director level or something) and I have to do what I can to achieve it...but it seems I have been rather stagnant this year trying to decide what to do, I kinda lost it. I need to orientate my direction...

Not without any costs though. That will take substantial time and money, and I'm not sure if I have both. There had been things happening for the past months that got me thinking a lot, and got me wondering what I am doing with my life, what do I really want and such. As a matter of truth, I still do not have much an answer apart the so-called target appointment.

I felt that I'm kinda lost in my direction right now, I'm not knowing what to do properly, what is right to do, what's my plans like and stuff. It just went completely bonkers without any proper order, any proper solution. No answers yet I guess.

So tired, much to do, not in optimal position to face challenges. How?

How no cow, cow see how. Mooooooo.

Yesterday was the first major step for ownership of a new home at Queenstown area (Dawson) as we went to sign the Agreement of Lease. All fees added up, the first payment exhausted our CPF as it went over 40k...yeah I know, it's kinda ridiculously expensive, but I'm sure we will find a way out.

I believe it will be a long journey ahead as there is so much to plan for - proposal, ROM, Chinese traditional marriage, temporary housing, design for new house etc...just so much, it seems certain that the coming years will be fast and furious! So much changes, uncertainty and excitement...

Certainly need all the support I can get! :)
