football uncle1: you better take care man.

addy: yep..thanks. (no more late nights around pubs and clubs and.. getting much more sleep in the process and.. i'm rid of those fucking irresponsible surveyors and.. no longer so seriously depressively depressed.. oh and did i mention that coldplay rocked so hard, they nearly blew my cough away?)

I'm In Love With Chris Martin!

Didn't really know how to feel when yesterday finally came along..for one i had been sick since last wednesday..yes, that's six days (seven, if you considered i haven't fully recovered today!)! But on the brighter side of things, coldplay were finally back in singapore!!

From the moment the band appeared on stage till they took their final bows, both the sold-out crowd and the band were relentless making the one and the half hours pass by in a flash. Every song the band played, the crowd sang along making every single song an anthem in its own right - from the crowd rockers "yellow", "speed of sound", "in my place" to mellower tunes like "what if", "the scientist" and "fix you". While the band was very much a cohesive unit throughout, chris martin so totally dominated the stage with his dynamism! When he was not at the piano, he was prancing from the left to the right to the front and back of the stage..during the ending of "in my place", he ran the full length of the indoor stadium to the sitting area directly across stage, sang while balancing himself off the rails with fans mobbing him and then ran back onto the stage again at the end of the song..jingxian and i were like "he can really run man!" I can't really describe the feeling it was like last night..maybe fucking fanta-bulous is just right..but you'd have to be there to know it! At the end, it was sad when they had to leave but believe me, it was one hell of a night! :)


After the concert, jinxy and i went to geylang to have supper..wah, the bean curd syrup is a killer for the throat man! but who cares..nothing is going to spoil this night for me! Depression? Sickness? Come back another day my dears..addy is with chris martin (and jinxy of course!) tonight..

Soundtrack Of Our Lives

Our theme song..
"Oh when we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going..Where would i be now if we never met? Would i be singing this song to someone else instead? I dunno but like you just said..Something changed.."

The one you loved to whine to..
"Nobody loves me..it's true.."

The one which nearly changed our lives..
"Because you're gorgeous..I'd do anything for you.."

The one you loved to shout at the top of your lungs to..
"Don't leave me high..Don't leave me dry.."

The one which describes us now..
"Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and i will stay
But when it comes to a waltz
Both words and music will ring false

Cos you waltzed in
And spun my world
Around in dizzy dance i swirl
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Those violins they must go
So no careless hand with a bow
May play on the strings on my heart
And make me remember how lovers part

How you waltzed in
And spun my world
Around in dizzy dance i swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Strike up the band let it play
Whatever it chooses and i'll say
Play me a waltz if you will
I'll sit here and listen waiting until

My love returns
To take my world
And spin it round in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
And feet don't touch the ground"

The one you loved most..
"May God take me first..For better or worse..I love you.."

And last but not least..the one i hated most..
"The Starhub subscriber you're looking for is currently unavailable..Please try again later.."

ARGH!

Do you think i'm too nice and too trusting? Does the words "Step on me Please!" flash big on my forehead? Why then are people hurting me so much these days and then saying "sorry addy"..honestly, if you knew you were going to hurt me, save your apologies on someone else. Now that i think of it, it's kind of silly..silly to put my wholehearted trust in the surveyors i recruited for my pub assignment..people whom i hardly know and mostly won't recall when i see them on the streets..but i guess that's just me isn't it? Everyone deserves a chance, and even a second chance and maybe even one more if i was feeling generous then..to the extent that when they do wrong, i say sorry to them instead..sorry that i couldn't help them more. Maybe it's time i learnt to be more ruthless before society swallows me whole, lets out one big gratifying burp and then i'd just be another piece of shit..

Tired

This week passed like a breeze..it's like i haven't slept..and yet i've been awoken already. Work is really good and i quite enjoy myself though i must say that all the late nights out at the pubs haven't really done me any good. The thing is after all the fun and work is done, when i'm on my way home, the world comes crashing in on me again. So it always is, in the middle of the night after doing my rounds at the pubs and i am physically worn out, all these emotions come rushing and drains me mentally and emotionally. I don't know how much i can handle honestly..i've never been any good in such situations..sure i dish out lovely advice, but i am too emotionally weak to carry them out myself. And it's with that, that i've decided to take the drastic measure..i've decided to leave Research Plus, much as i've enjoyed myself. My colleagues and superiors have all been kind but I just cannot keep hiding behind my work and then getting these breakdowns at the end of the day. I know many will say it's a silly and hasty decision to make but, i'd rather have a chance to regret before i really crack up and go insane. Please don't fight me anymore, anyone..i'm just too tired..
