I’ve not been writing for quite some time, don’t know if it’s that I’ve got nothing to say or life has just been busy. Whatever the case, thoughts still fill my mind and I’m glad life is currently great. I’m quite broke, quite tired, quite busy, but still I look out my window of my study and smile at life.

I can’t ask for more.

I love music, I love jazz, I love duets, I love romance, I love the fact that there is love in this world and people will go out of their way to do something for others. I love the fact that no matter how broke we are, we can still enjoy life. I love the fact that every single day tears of joy are dropped all over the world. I love the fact that no matter race, language or religion we can all experience this love.

Maybe because God first loved me, so I know what this love is. Thank God.

Home

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be allright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

We HAD to bring Cherry to Grapevine.

from left: Kenneth, Cherry, Pearl and me.

Cherry was in town and i got a suprise call from her when she arrived at the airport. The last two times when she came, i was overseas, so did not manage to meetup.

This is the first time we are actually meeting after working together on webdesign for about 2 years now. She actually contacted me via my website in November 2003 and sent me her CV, we then started to work together from then on via emails.

We went to Blu Jaz for dinner and the place was great, not so expensive, nice environment, central, not crowded. We are planning to bring her to before she goes back.

We manage to get tickets for the Actual Day and how we got the tickets is quite funny. My wife’s company’s HR department had some tickets and wanted to give their staff by lucky draw style, but she replied to ALL in the email braodcast and hence ALL of her company all few hundred of the staff in the organisation now know that she wants tickets. So whent he day came close, someone actually gave her the tickets. Thank God, we thought we will have to see TV this year.

Going into the padang area was quite okay as this time there was only a crowd of around 25,000 not like our national stadium which can take up to 60,000. Pearl remember me telling her that last year’s NDP Preview was going to be our last one at the statium as its going to be torn down.

I’ve seen loads of pictures of NDP 2005 on Flickr so i think i won’t want to put up the standard photos again.

My Best Photo of the day!

Cleo could not go, cuz we did not have enough tickets, too bad…

pearlpan, cliépan, nickpan

Clié wanted to put the tattos, but i could not put the “Made in Singapore” one for her as she was actually made in Australia. hee…

My gang! Signals Yeah!

The lights and performances was really cool, just wonder how much do our country spend to make our citizens happy. hmm…

Bang! Bang! Bang! another great National Day Parade!
