When I Was a Boy
Back in 1993 when i first moved to Ampang dad installed Rediffusion. For those who is in the dark or too young, just imagine cable radio like our cable T.V now. It is a speaker with switch and a volume dial at the side.
Every morning when i'm preparing for school i will hear this song called 这里有爱等我回来. Yes, every morning for quite some period of time. Ever since the chorus got stuck my head. Every now and then the song will just pops up out of nowhere with very vague lyrics but the melody is still there.
Enter the new millenium when MP3 started conquering the world. I've started my searching journey searching for the song but fails until a few days ago 988 played it! Apparently i got the wrong singer name. That's why!
1993 and now it's 2010. Guys, i present to you 蔡荣祖!

Worry
Yes. I worry too much sometimes.
Might be the nicotine or the caffeine.
Might be the quater life crisis.
Might be that I'm too free.
Might...
Numb
Started my "new" job today (I went back to my previous company).
I'm feeling neither excited nor nervous.
I'm feeling nothing.

The Third Decade
Next year will be the end of another decade.
1980s. Not much memories except for 1988 where i was in kindergarten and 1989 when i officially started primary school.
1990s. It's all about schooling, schooling and schooling. Growing from a little innocent boy to an red blooded adolescent.
2000s. The most exciting and fastest decade so far. Each and every year is a change and challenge. From college to the first job, the first car, the first big accident, friend getting married, friends having babies, people coming in and out of my life. This might not be the happiest and carefree decade of all but it's definitely the most colorful one!
Love you all!

I Dreamed a Dream?
Your horoscope for September 19, 2009
Admit it, Ivan. When it comes to your love life you are chasing a dream. You are looking for an extraordinary partner. Intelligence, beauty and above all, originality are the absolute minimums you'll accept. Is the person you are looking for, in fact, human? It's no wonder you are regularly disappointed. Why not delve deeper into people who, at first glance, appear to be banal? You are likely to be pleasantly surprised.
My thoughts? Kinda true.

Being me, myself and I
On the telephone line I'm cheerful, talkative and warm but the opposite in real life.
You're the other way round.
Yin yang anyone?

It's been a while since i last blogged. Have been extremely busy with work for the past 2 months. Never feel this stress out before.
Finally had the my weekend break after working nonstop for the last 2 weeks. I had a different feelings on my usual weekend routines that i always finds boring and lifeless. Watched Transformers (finally), had my first KFC meal since god knows when, window shopping with my friends and had a very good rest aka sleep.
The big ass project is ending this Thursday, fingers crossed. Go go go go Ivan!

Happy Birthday
I don't really have anything to blog about but since it's my birthday 2 days ago maybe i should at least post something.
Just realized that i didn't blog at all from Jan - June 08! Wow... must have been very busy that time.
Anyway, this year's birthday was as usual pretty normal. Went to Penang to meet up with an old time friend. A so called a day trip. Not properly planned. Did not visit any place special. Just 2 days off from work doing something unusual. I called it The Crazy Trip to Sanity. Doing something crazy once in a while keeps one sane. Trust me.
The guys celebrated my birthday in Tsim Tung cafe. Brought me slices of Secret Recipe cakes and SANG the birthday song! Something that we all swear will NEVER EVER do in public. Damn embarrassing but it helped to pull back the tears. Haha.
Made a wish. A real proper wish which i really hope will come true.
Live strong. Play hard. Love you all :D
Donna Lewis
Was clicking around when I found out that Donna Lewis have released a new album last year! Reminds me of Cocteau Twins. Love the voice. Love the arrangement. This woman deserves some attention!

First time y'all!
Thanks boss!

Skinning
The old template looks too fugly. It's huge and boxy. Tried going back to simplicity and minimal. Existing templates somehow got screwed up. This is the temp skin. Getting a funkier one soon. Maybe tonight or maybe in a month. Who knows.

Tuesday Night
Alone, in a cafe.
Working on monthly report.
Listening to Wynton Marsalis' Standards & Ballads.
Being alone is kinda cool actually :)
