7. say sorry when you hurt somebody

three women, three degrees of greying hair. and towards the end of the road... is this all that life can offer? to sit around, having no purpose in life, no aim left in mind. to just wait out the days, have meaningless conversations. talk about the weather, and maybe the neighour's rebellious daughter. if one day it comes to that... i think i'll be damn sad.

but aiya for now. i think ie still got time to dream. i just hope at the age of 50-60 i still have the capacity to do it. oh maybe i'll be living it already. dream.

this events thingy is getting to me. so exciting!!! now i'm doing something.

I've Dreamed Many A Dream That's Never Come True,
I've Seen Them Vanish At Dawn
But Enough Of My Dreams Have Come True
To Make Me Keep Dreaming On.

I've Prayed Many A Prayer
That Seemed No Answer Would Come,
Though I'd Waited So Patient And Long
But Enough Answers Have Come To My Prayers
To Make Me Keep Praying On.

I've Sown Many A Seed That's Fallen By The Wayside,
For The Birds To Feed Upon
But I've Held Enough Sheaves In My Hands
To Make Me Keep Sowing On.

I've Trusted Many A Friend That's Failed Me
And Left Me To Weep Alone
But Enough Of My Friends Have Been True-Blue
To Make Me Keep Trusting On.

I've Drained The Cup Of Disappointment And Pain,
And Gone Many A Day Without A Song
But I've Sipped Enough Nectar From The Roses Of Life,
To Make Me Want To Live On.

I Don't Regret A Mile, I've Traveled For The Lord
I Don't Regret The Times I've Trusted In His Word
I've Seen The Years Go By, Many Days Without A Song
But I Don't Regret A Mile, I've Traveled For The Lord.

yea its all about dreams dreams and dreams. sometimes i think i dream too much. but it really keeps me going. fuel for life! haha er ch thinks i'm too positive and i sort of have to agree with him. its not like i don't feel down at all. i have my days la. i mean. but i get over things pretty quickly. haha and i love the way my brain/heart functions. hate to brood over things.

i can't wait for 'working on a dream' to be released! it's out today actually. i want the deluxe edition! it's so appropriate.. the mood i'm in right now. working on a dream.

Oh Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Way-aye, you rolling river
I'll take her 'cross yon rolling water
A way - we're bound away

new drive for life,
new skin for wine.

k i've got a new inspiration. and that's richard branson. i know this is like really odd. but i'm really impressed by the way he chooses to live life. i would love to do it his way. too bad not everyone can be as crazy, and still get away with it - with everyone behind you too. nothing ventured nothing gained. i guess that sums up his philosophy for life. try everything once at least. can i? hm. i'd love to try. oh oh. now this is some logic circle is it. not? watever.

and now you gotta accept the fact that things are gonna change. i can't see beyond six months really. but right now i just wanna cherish my time, my life, and everyone around me. a whole new world awaits after this break. university... new people to meet... new commitments.. new experiences... new things to do. say hello uncertainty. and i don't want to forget. i guess now's an opportunity to do some consolidation. it's something like having a major stock take. or.. a regroup of sorts. before the actual war begins. reflecting on all my past experiences, all the lessons learnt, all the people i've known, and building on whatever i've garnered thus far. i really wanna settle myself and think about how i'm going to tackle the next 4 years of my life. paradigms, attitudes, goals, dreams. i don't like to waste time. i hope i don't.

speaking of war. i wanna be cool like zhu ge liang. but he's a tad too handsome no?

i say
have a nice day

well i'm suffering from severe post korea blues. urgh i left my seoul there. charming place. korea. i guess it wasn't so much of the things i did. there was a lot of emotion involved in the trip. elation, anger, exasperation, disappointment... yikes i think it was more of an emotional roller coaster ride. glad we came out of it unscathed. with new friendships formed too.. like i love my 2 tour guides! jenny and judy. thank you jenny, for being a mom/sis to us. i'll remember you forever, for the laughter, wine, beer, sashimi and cigarette smoke that we shared. i've never had a cooler tour guide, and i've never befriended one before.. don't grow old alright. i'll definitely visit you if i ever go back! you've been quite an inspiration, and i'll be keeping your words in mind.

ok so 2009 is here. doesn't feel like the new year though. maybe the whole korea trip dulled my excitement for 2009. any resolutions? hm. i want to be disciplined this year. for allll of my commitments. little plans and goals that i have for myself. i want to be able to see it come to fruition. to have the end in mind and work towards it la. basically. oh it's really interesting that korea has this theme for the year. and for 2009 it's 'hope'. for all the shit that's going on in this world... i think hope is what we all need. hope. for better things to come.

i need some time to reflect upon 2008. one of these days boy. gotta sit down and start thinking.

i need to kick myself out of the post korea trip blues. seriously. AAAAAH. it's getting to me. it's just horrible that after 10 days of being so close to a country, so much into a culture, you're totally cut off. it's so horrible that i'm tempted to go watch some korean drama that i watched ages ago. not cuz i like it. but i just want to have some association with the country and culture. insignificant as it may be, just to get that feeling again. to be able to to hear the now familiar 'anyeonghasaeyohs' all over again. and to be able to see the weird squares and circles which make up the korean characters. sooob. pfft. ok stop. stop. stop. think positive boy. maybe i'll pick up korean and go back there again. on a free and easy trip. and i'll pick up some hot korean chick in itaewon. alright!

gig in a week. =)

Can't have it, this habit
It's calling me back to my home

thank goodness for the break. i think i really need one. just to get some fresh air. 2 more days. siiiiiiigh. this is really messed up. too many things clouding up my mind at the moment. been running around too much... messed up. messed up.

you have been a blessing jang! really appreciate it. think i owe you for the million dollar hug. thanks!

if there's such a thing as comfort music, then john denver is my kind of comfort music. it's like... going back to when i was a little kid. no worries. being bounced around at the back seat of the car. being able to sleep knowing that someone's driving me to some nice place - a place with great food and probably interesting things to play with. everything's good. everything's fine. i'd like that for a change. at least for a while.

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high
