Everything in its time - Corrine May

Sometimes i wonder what lies ahead
How long til my hunger is fed
They say it's hard to make it in this part of town
so many people on this merry-go-round

Some folks try astrology
Some turn to crystal balls
To find an answer
To get through it all
I just fall on my knees and i try to pray
in the silence i can hear Him say

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time

I often feel like that i'm two steps behind
Somebody must have moved that finish line
There are a thousand reasons
why i should give up
But i'm stubborn in the things i believe

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign

'cause maybe there's another plan
One i still cant see
A little surprise, like your love in your life
Funny how time changes how we see

The river runs and the river hides
Out to the ocean and under the sky
I promise you, the answer will come
Hold on to the patience and watch for the sign
Everything in its time
Everything in its time

I just got back from watching Casanova. Its the third movie of the week..heh. I can watch one more 9pm time slot , Captote, if my fren had wanted to. Hmm..its light-hearted. Dun expect a biopic of Casanova's rendezvous. Think its fictious. Anyway it was good laugh before another chaotic week begins.

******

Have wanted to rattle a bit on this since a couple of weeks back. I kept putting it off for all the reasons and excuses i can cook up for myself. It started with me putting up Nohari Window 's 5 words-to-describe-myself test. Its a no-sweat zone. Nonetheless, i am grateful to some folks, whom I met briefly, for their earnest remarks. :-) I do appreciate it despite how aloof you folks perceive.

To those who have constantly refuse to acknowledge your very own existence, do jolly well just stop patronizing my sites or simply re-shuffle your priorities.I cannot recount any bad blood that i have incurred with any ya netizens that require your kind time to be wasted on my incoherent spats. Absolutlely not worthwhile to waste - both my angst nor your time. Period.

Transamerica

Watched Transamerica last night. Its a good watch. But having to watch such a strong themed movie at the late of the night drains me. I popped to bed without even showering last night. Do go watch this folks. Its ..how do i describe this..an enriching movie on a touchy subject.

I 'd better go SHOWER and rushed to gym.

傷信

歌手：陳奕迅 | 作曲：西村由紀江
填詞：周禮茂 | 編曲：黃丹儀

重讀著你的告別信　抑壓而暗湧
雖不信寫的話　竟可以這麼重
但再哭亦無用

＊徐徐又當這信是你　緊貼我抱擁
　可惜信太單薄　怎可填蜜落空
　愈信傷早抑壓　痛便愈沉重

　難平衡自己　忐忑的起伏
　難原諒我心　反覆的變動
　是我個性舞擺　換來這封信
　曾令你瘋　舊情要一別而盡＊

＃仍多麼需要你　仍多麼需要你
　如今天失去了　怎麼退怎麼進
　如果可不要信　寧死都不要信
　但看我手　再激動仍只得傷信＃

Safe in a Crazy World

I wanted to buy Corrinne May's album since watching her concert last week. Got it today when i went grabbing Vanity Fair.

This is my personal fave - when she sang last sunday.

Safe in a Crazy World

I try to smile my tears away,
I try to keep my cool.
Oh but one more door gets in my way
I feel like such a fool
Trampled and bitter,
My heart just wants to bleed and stop Believing in me.

It feels like nothing is for certain
and that nothing comes for free
When they're lowering the curtain to the theatre of my dreams
I stumble and i crumble and I'm sinking to my knees for you
You cradle me

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

Noise keeps chasing me
No matter where I go
Oh and life likes pretending that it's on a TV show
When it's hard to tell what's real
From what the world just wants to preach
You are the voice I seek

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

'cause when I'm wrapped up in your arms
Nothing else can touch me
What a wonderful way to recharge
I feel like I can breathe again

You keep me flying
You keep me smiling
You keep me safe in a crazy world
You understand me
Embrace my fragility
You keep me safe in a crazy world
And in your arms I find the strength to believe in me again

I love this cover - Gonna get it tomorrow!

Take a peep!

5 words to describe Himbolicious

Frozen Dream by Shel Silverstein

I'll take the dream I had last night
And put it in my freezer,
So someday long and far away
When I'm an old grey geezer,
I'II take it out and thaw.
This lovely dream I've frozen,
And boil it up and sit me down
And dip my old cold toes in.

Brokeback Mountain

"I wish i know when to quit you."

Watched Brokeback Mountain last night. It gives a sadness that slowly slithers in your heart, damping it.

Work has been busy but really meaningful these days . I just got back not long ago.

I was sitting on my throne backlog-reading my TIME magazines when this article excites me - 10 Question For Elie Wiesel. I am gonna grab his book - Nightthis weekend. For a start, he shares my same view on Albert Camus. Its so rare these days to find ppl who seeing positivity in Camus' writings. I am bowled..weez. Alright, here is part of the interview that Jeff Chu did , with Elie.

Do you have a favorite bible hero?
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in cheif of perhaps the first liberation army. He was a prophet, God's representative to the people and the people's representative to God.And he never had a good day in his life. Either the people were against him, or God was against him.

So what could modern leaders learn from Moses' Example?
Humility. Everyone needs it. But mainly leaders. Because they have power.

You sound Hopeful, But I know you love to read and teach Albert Camus. Why? Many people see him as a depressing writer.
To the contrary, I think he is hopeful. If you read The Plague, there is a doctor who does everything he can to save. In the midst of death, there is a human being who sacrifices his days and nights- and to save people he'd never met. Camus said,"Where there is hope, one must invent hope." It is only pessismistic if you stop with the first half of the sentence and just say, There is no hope. Like Camus, even when it seems hopeless, I invent reasons to hope.

*All smiles* I am going to enjoy his books..heh

The debris that remains lingers in our hearts

I miss the beach!

Phuket 3D/3N

I do not want to do a mosiac of all my Phuket photos as it will do great injustice to any of them. I am no pro-photographer.Henceforth, I will pick a couple of my personal favorite. It may not be exactly picture perfect, but they imprint in me.



This is one of the most captivating view from the hotel. Each time i past the front lobby, i cannot resist to snapshot yet another picture of its beauty. Presenting : The Chedi, Phuket - It is more mesmerizing than i had expected. Way more captivating than any of the photos could justify. Its private reclusive beach ,clean and chic. The kaleidoscope of colors reflected , under the blazing sun, of the beach is simply glorious. I couldn't wait to dip into the cool sea and bask in the sun, upon arrival. Before I knew it, i was beetroot red. It was hours passsing like minutes. Indeed, that was how in love I am of it. Wheez..


I love this photo i took. Foremost, I love how the skyline and coastal sand blends and complements. The background colors are gentle, accentuating the beauty of the worker's smile and his maroon tee. At that very instant, I felt really shameful and blessed, to be under the shade, whilst the man has been going around selling drinks. It was a thought-invoking moment. It was that moment in time that i reckoned how much i have been dwelling over mandune issues in my selfish realm. Blotting out the beauty within, that we ought to notice of even, a passer-by. I just got this photo developed, and together ,with the fine sand and coral stones i have collected ,will be on my office desk. It will remind myself simply how wonderful and good ,life has been to me. Its a corny awakening. But i guess all of us need such stimulant once in a while.


I grin whenever i look into my camera since I touched down this morning. Esp this photo. This photo was taken during island hopping in the middle of Phi Phi island and, on the way to Maya Bay. It was a fifteen minutes stop. I just went berserk : stripped to my trunks, rushed to the tip of the yacht and jumped into the cool blue sea. It was that moment i saw the excitement in the little boy in me: Diving again and again into the water and submerging myself to look at the school of colorful fishes swimming around me. Writing this ,now, still brings a wide grin.

Fabulous. I will go back. Definitely. Till then.. Maldives is my next destination. Mid April :-) Hopefully earlier, if time permits.
