relaxin full of rest sat, thats way to go. out of energy for the week.
oh and i heard Susan Boyle sang the memory on tv, sometime in the week. surprisingly great voice i mus admit.
Memory - CATS
Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .
Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again
Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin
Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is
Look
A new day has begun fri was good nite out with the gerls and guys. nice dinner at Pu Tien @ MS + drinks & snacks @ HK cafe + Black o'stuff at Dirty Nelly's. good chat, good company. wrk ended me with crazy schedule on monday & tues. PACKED. might as well, since alot of things had to be reported and tracked these days. Dave's goin to be back in town on 26... for CVs with us... well, doesnt sounds like a good idea.
big ad is going on leave aft fri, awaitin for the arrival of her first baby girl sometime mid june! will be so excited to see her baby! :) hehe. but damned, she's my best lunch partner! :(
thurs was penny's last. no of her idea though. it all happened aft TH and LL meet-up with her at fullerton hotel, and the usual words. well...
tues was a day that i felt like pressure cooker, especially when pple sing the opposite tunes to mine. the dinner with cher helped ease that a lil. iterally say fuck to everything. we'll see how this is moving forward.
Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream
There was a time, when men were kind
And their voices were soft
And their words were inviting
There was a time, when love was blind
And the world was a song
And the song was exciting
There was a time it all went wrong
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high and life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they turn your hope apart
As they turn your dreams to shame
He slept a summer by my side
He filled my dreams with endless wonder
He took my childhood in his stride
But he was gone when autumn came
And still I dream he'd come to me
That we would live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from the hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

"when i ask the midnight sky
the stars just shine
into the black lake of my molten heart
i can only flow
will the angel even give me a backward glance?
want to splash around in my heart?
the winds of the coming winter lap at the waves
calling me into the dark
with eyes as wilted as ice
i'm growing up
a jewel pungent with a stench
that brooks no one's approach"
from the movie "Dare mo shiranai " (aka nobody knows)
(Shigeru, Akira, Kyoko, Yuki, Keiko - the mum)
burdened with the responsibility to look after his 2 sisters and a brother, eldest son Akira faces the tough fate of their mother, leaving them with little money in a rental apartment. all of them siblings are of different dad. a mum that talks like a no brainer and proves herself to be selfish, leaving them behind and moving to osaka. a booze mum. really a boo. they were all deprieved from their little dreams and school.
an accident of felling off the chair, youngest sister yuki died from it. the fulfill his promise of bring her to a place to see aeroplanes, he and saki packed her off in a luggage with her favourate chocolates and buried her near the airport. helpless and no idea what to do, that was the best he could give.
they continue to survive with water from tap in the park, free sushi leftovers from the convenience store, candles and a messed up apartment with rental overdue...but for how long? we never know.

wondering why am still up and typing here on the blog. simple, on leave tml. not for anything but exams. back to sch was a long awaited but a 'not that fancy' task. my last paper on fri, macroecons. gotta try and digest the papers again. who even invent studying, stupid man. everyone shld juz be like olden days, travelling on horses, having special martial arts and flying skills, being playful daughter and spending rich family/husband money on jades and silk. that would be nice. ok dreaming... just about time to dream what!
well, work is fuking crazy. endless emails and coordination and meetings. the only best thing today was free 30mins massage, a prize we won for the team on marketing day. i almost slept but had to return to work even though time was 6pm, was busy with interviews and meeting client - potentially to be, maybe... and my work piled up just like tat! duh-oh. i am suppose to chair the pendings this month, hmm hmm - stressed hiak hiak hiak. not lookin forward to greg arrival on 19 may, wonder wats coming up. bosses hav been very nice, in fact too nice to settle alot of stuffs and handling the coordination for me. feeling bad... hmm, i didnt expect things to come at a snap of fingers, but well, almost expect the unexpected? >_<"
not to mention i had to be in at 8am, or no later than 815 am today to meet the regional client. phew, luckily he's a funny guy. i was starving through the meet-up!
yesterday was a long day for a monday, but good fun. team dinner again, well, contributions made by viv and stella, not me exactly. but was included. well @ chimjes Gyu Gaku, why not! we had lotsa pork belly, mushrooms..etc etc. hot green tea. and the best ending milk pudding! damn nice! left in hurry - time check 9.15pm. was suppose to meet kc at 8.30pm. lolx, well u noe the initial plan was to leave office at 6.30 latest, as per tim. but that nv comes through. lolx. ended up leaving at 7.30pm, hence the drag.
well, but he waited ard till i am done. and suppose to wake me up at 6am aft we left for home close to 11.30pm -_-", and so via sms the morning call will be done he said. wat a "morning call" idea, he said his voice not nice when he just wake up. hmm. but this time round he did call to wake me up, seeing no response to his sms. haha, lucky he called. he sounded very awake with morning news loud on the background. cant understand how he can slp late wake up as early as 6pm and still have to do client reports and reviews - amazin. well call was good! else am goin to be late! >_<"
weekend received nonsense sms again. "adeline are u free on weekend for dinner and drinks?" with part did he not understand as stated way back "am having exams till 8 may, not keen to meet before 8 may". now, i dont even want to meet him anymore! eeekkk! even send me sms a couple days ago "had frens in SIM, they are having exams now. you prob are too, so good luck :) ".... wats the point, in fact he already knew way before he send this sms. sometimes, dont try too hard. its a total turnoff afterall!
sat's paper was till the last min. last thurs paper, i wasnt even done! gosh. fingers crossed and twisted! eekk.
