One would never think that an engineering dinner party could be fun. You heard right, fun.

We actually sang and danced to 'I Will Survive'; band was unbelievably superb (lady's a powerhouse!); we got confused over a man who dressed up as a school boy who turned out to be a grown-up man who actually ENJOYED being treated as a boy....by the ladies, mind you (ok, better get that image out of my head right away); and at the end of it all, we came to a conclusion that (guy) engineers should just stick to doing what they do best - engineering-related stuff, coz honey, they just suck in dancing, big time. Well, not all.

Nevertheless, the coolest dude of the night was non other than the engineering manager himself, who danced the night away in his blue batik and well,....showing off his rather questionable (and random) disco moves. No disrespect.

CHANGES

....we're going through changes....


Hugging my best friend at the airport today, I choked.

The dreaded moment when you thought you have everything you want to say for the last time etched in your mind, things you want to say before it's too late; and the next thing you know they just disintegrate into oblivion. Your mind shuts off for a split second and you're finding yourself searching for those words in desperation. And yet the words refuse to come out.

Like a big silent 'poooofffffff....' in my head.

Our goodbye hugs will almost indefinitely give that effect on me. All of a sudden I become this dumb fool wishing I can hold on to that moment for a bit longer because of the realization that it doesn't come easily.

My dearest, dearest friend, what I wanted to say to you: -

....Please take care of yourself. I hope the phase is merely that, a phase. Change is good, but let it be a change for the better....and a happier you.
....Thanks for your time. It's an unexpected visit, but it certainly is good to have you flying in instead. Doesn't matter if it was only for a short while.
....Even through it all, I'm always on your side.
....Most importantly, I guess I'm gonna have to miss you all over again....

At least until your next visit.

STARLIGHT

....and I saw Orion's belt....


Star light, star bright
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight

....ever look up?....

REACH


This is it. It's a done deal.

Boys and girls, presenting the May mission....



The one to conquer. No second thoughts.

WHATEVER'S LEFT

Dear friend,

I'm glad that you called. You and I agree that we're not really good with talking on the phone without those awkward pauses. It has been a while since we last had a decent conversation, just the two of us, maybe that's why it's slightly different this time. We couldn't help but jump right into a new topic to blab about halfway through the previous one.

You think that what you said was odd? Thinking back, it was ridiculously silly, but it was also one of the nicest things somebody would ever say to me.

I sure would love to meet a male version of me and see what it's like. And we can be hysterical about it later. What say you?


Your friend

FADE INTO YOU

....remember Mazzy Star?....


Main chords:
A E Bm

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Solo:
A E Bm (x3) D A E Bm

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

PUSH THE BUTTON




Season 3 of Grey's Anatomy officially completed (after hogging the DVD player for the entire 2 weeks). Phew!

Now give me Season 4, please.

REFUGE


The washroom in the office is right at the main hallway. I don't like it.

What if one day I forgot to lock the door and somebody swings it open? I already have a problem of using the public toilet for fear that some creep attacks me in my cubicle that I can't sit still. But I have to.

Then again, it's where I run to to get a few minutes of nap when I need it.

That's where you cry quietly without the world watching.

She goes there to smoke a ciggy to get her mind off things for a while.

Within those four tiny walls is a different world in which offers escape.

After that you step out again.

Even if you were caught with your pants down.

STANDING IN THE RAIN

....happy new year folks....


We all fall sometimes
Get burnt sometimes
Get cut wide open
Thought you'd learn by now

So why you want to do this
Why you want to fall
Why you keep pretending
To make sense of it all

I hope you just don't stop praying when the water does fall
Cause standing in the rain ain't gonna leave you dry
So stand up feel the light
Don't you want to see all that you've got inside
Your love is pure one of a kind
But standing in the rain ain't gonna leave you dry

So take the chains off your world
Cause it ain't gonna do you well
Take the lock from your heart
Open it cause it ain't hard

It ain't hard
