all by myself
didn't go for a reason today
don't think i'll be going tmr too
it's nothing more than a number game
i know that i wasn't missed today
cause i am just another face in the crowd
guess i need a break from everyone
and from myself too
my neck hurts
and i'm hungry
went to doctor abt two weeks back... was told of my medical conditions that made realise that i should go easy on myself. somehow i don't see myself living at a ripe old age.. tat tot has never occurred to me.. maybe the most in my 50's and tats 12 yrs from now. don't see myself getting married too, guess i am not supposed too. i came into tis world alone, and i guess i'll be leaving it the same way.
this is between me and myself, we got some straightening out to do.
nameless
i'm just another face in the crowd
nameless as i can be
forgotten and not cared for
wish i could just disappear
and leave eveything behind
left alone to my own devices
i probably would

sunday afternoon
sunday afternoon and the sun's shinning with all its glory. a beautiful day to hit the beach and get urself a tan that you've always wished for. a nice sunday to unwind before the week starts.
as for me, i am lazing at home; doing some computer maintenance and i stumble upon this cool feature FoxyTunes, "it lets you control almost any media player and find lyrics, covers, videos, bios and more with a click right from your browser. iTunes, Winamp, Windows Media Player and other players are supported..." but its an add on for IE7. just heard from a good friend of mine that firefox has the same add on. so no more having ur windows player open while you browse the web. whats more, the songs still shows up on ur msn messenger. cool, eh.

its been a long week and a lot of things have happened especially on the love scene. cupid has decided to go for along vacation. hence, i've heard of three break ups.. the longest was 7 yrs and they were planing to get engaged. sigh... sometimes i wonder what is it like to be in a relationship for so long and risk giving it all up because of a stupid mistake. 'don't know what you've got till its gone' by cinderella, would be a fitting song.
I can't tell ya baby what went wrong
I can't make you feel what you felt so long ago
I'll let it show
I can't give you back what's been hurt
Heartaches come and go and all that's left are the words
I can't let go
If we take some time to think it over baby
Take some time, let me know
If you really want to go
Don't know what you got till it's gone
Don't know what it is I did so wrong
Now I know what I got
It's just this song
And it ain't easy to get back
Takes so long
well, i got to go and get ready for mass..... will be back later to update. till then, keep the fire burning in your love.

oh yes, we have this secret angel thing going on in our office for the month of august and it's quite exciting. my beautiful angel has been pretty sweet, giving me notes, chocolates, heart-shaped candy, etc. not sure who she is yet, so i guess i have to wait till aug end to find out.

been thinking to take a break from project j for a while or so... i guess its the age that is catching up with me and i don't feel right into it lately. its seems like i have nothing much to contribute and i no longer have to drive for anything anymore. guess i need to find myself again...
the angelus choir
here's something i wrote on 15 aug 2005 with regards to angelus choir anniversary...
"today marks the 23rd anniversary of the angelus choir. founded in 1982 by the late Fr Fortier, the choir comprised cousins, two sisters and friends, if memory serves me right. william joined in '86, and myself in '87, the same year as tony and aaron. the same people who practically dragged me to joined the choir and so i did at the age of 18. the choir was like 30 strong singing our lungs out at the old church at sembawang. the half-pass-six choir we were called and practises were very much the same as now. we started at 4pm, had mass at 6.30pm (hence the name, the ½ pass six choir) n continued prac till as late as 10pm. we had no mics and of course, there wasn't aircon at all. we had a small choir loft on the second floor of the church but for a very short time, the rest of time of my years there, we were upfront facing the altar. we had to battle mosquitoes and all kind of insects who intruded our practises. getting mosquitoes bites everytime was the norm, until we decided to close all the windows and leave the side door open only. christmas was like the thing we look forward every year. there was one year that i bet all of us will remember for a very long time, it was after mass and everybody was like hugging each other at the church porch. then the girls were happily hugging everybody until they realised that they were also hugging some foreign workers who decided to get into action, it was so funny. the girls freaked out and hit behind some of the choir guys. there was this other time when i wasnt in the choir yet but my sis was. i saw william outside my door step with a baseball bat with my sis. apparently someone was following my sis, and she called william who came down with a baseball bat and william called gerard who also came down with a baseball bat. at that time, i didnt really knew the both yet, but looking back now, its a good laugh.
the choir shifted to yishun in '92, reduced to ten to fifteen people and through the years the numbers declined slowly. mass was at six-ten pm, hence we were without a proper name for a year or so. at one point we had only five to seven people. we actually did a wedding mass accapella once with the help of Fr J.J. (he was a brother back then). without having a name, we had no identity so maria and cynthia approached Fr. Fortier and he chose 'The Angelus'. Hence, the angelus was born. the choir was back in full swing again when hatsuee, anne marie, sarah n joanne joined us in 95; mel, mark, jeremy and others joined soon after. and the rest like the say is history. i've been in the choir now for 18 years and its been a hell of a ride. i have learnt a lot of things and gained loads of friends. at the same time, this is where i learnt to be a soundman, thanks to david who showed me the ropes and got me interested. who in turn i taught melvin and mark. mel helps out whenever and mark have left the choir and current he is a soundman for some joint now. so all the best to him. i have a young padawan now n she is catching up fast; and she is none other than david niece's pat! kinda cool isn't it, how things come around.
well, the choir has lots of history behind it, we have a priest, a nun, a ceo and lots more. all of them at one point were like teenagers in this choir. my eldest sis, the nun, is in london. leon came back to singapore recently to celebrate his first mass as a priest but i am not sure where he is now. and the ceo is none other than the guy with the baseball bat, william. hahahaha...funny how things come around yeah! to everyone from the angelus past and present, love you guys lots.

rushing
Watched Rush Hour 3 on Monday@ GV Vivo with my colleagues.
It's better that rush hour 2, this is Chris Tucker at his best!!
go watch it!!
on a diff note, been hanging out with my colleagues alot lately - not sure why we are not sick of each other yet. :p damn, my left ear is giving me problems.. and my throat hurts.. sigh, sometimes i wish life would be a simple for me. although i will be hitting 40 in two yrs, there's alot of things out there that i know nuts about. there are things i want to have and achieve but deep down i know that it will never happen to me. hmmmm... a friend once told me that life begins at 40, i wonder if he is true. i'll just have to wait and see.
