4th November 2007
Another year. ok another year + 2 weeks - been busy doing nothing.
Seems like birthdays are for reflections. Sadly, the only major change from a year ago is that I'm not listening to that Zero 7 CD anymore. I last did about 2-3 mths ago, so not that keen on hearing it yet. Stuck on the Pretenders, the Proclaimers, Keane.
Of course work-wise I'm in a better position that before. I like what I'm doing, enough to put in extra hours for nothing. and everyone knows that. So enough said.
But seem to be getting less friends. 1 year ago I could fill up my week easily. Nowadays I spend more evenings at work than dinner outside. At least colleagues are fun. But becoming far away from once-close friends. Now we have less in common, so we don't feel the want to meet up so often. Even when we do it's the same things. Bitching about work. Met so-and-so recently. Who got married. Oh have you tried that what at that where yet? You should go, that what damn nice.
I guess that's it already. most of my life is now work. remainder is camera, exercise, travelling, playing games, zoning out. It's ok - I'm doing what I like. But of coz, don't we always want something more?
Shouting Thank-yous out to the following ppl:
- girl / sonya / nid / zz for dinner n ktv session
- birthday smses from:
zow / vj / MY BOSS(!!) / alw / bowl / my YEP nurse who never forgets / qi / qz / long / ally / chel / liping / cousin / xt / yx.
- my family, always
- and the hairy crabs we consumed
vietnam in 2 days.

Don't Get Me Wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
