好久不见

I found this song accidentally, when a friend lent it to me by Eason Chan, whom I usually don't listen to. I found the words to be very meaningful and discovered that it was actually written by a Singaporean.

我来到你的城市, 走过你来时的路,
想象着没我的日子, 你是怎样的孤独。
拿着你给的照片, 熟悉的那一条街, 只是没了你的画面

我们回不到那天, 你会不会忽然的出现, 在街角的咖啡店,
我会带着笑脸, 挥手寒暄, 和你坐着聊聊天,

我多么想和你见一面, 看看你最近改变,
不再去说从前, 只是寒暄, 对你说一句, 只是说一句, 好久不见。

Sometimes I think about life and the people whom we meet, the times that has passed. I try to appreciate what I have before they are lost forever for one reason or another.

I can be a very loyal person and sometimes too sentimental. When I listen to a song, I listen to it for it's lyrics for a few times, then it's construction in terms of progression, instrumentation, musical development and so on... I've listened to this song ad nausem for more than 150 times in less than 5 days. No I'm not obssessed, but it speaks of the philosophy when I tend to approach things which I want to know more about or understand... by repetition exposure. (meaning behind that: I'm not that intelligent and try to compensate by doing more! ha!)

The bottomline is I have been feeling rather downcast lately with my tonsilitis and my problems at work (nothing new). Add that to the feeling of being taken for granted without any reprieve from pressure when I needed one...

I'm recovering from melancholy and starting to slip into indifference... something I don't quite enjoy feeling as I feel responsible making sure everything is OK before I embark on a 3 week ICT (holiday? I wish). Phones will still be coming in.. so I guess I will work from camp since as a workshop 2IC I don't really have that much to do. Hello?!? V200 armoured tanks in need of repair by NSmen instead of active servicemen?!?!?!?!?!? I think I'll end up with some logistics work and to wait for lunch wait for dinner wait for nightsnack... argh... I hate life like that... worse than being kept at work nonstop.

Hope I come out of ICT without feeling too deranged. :|

No. Not the annual type though today is the last day to submit income tax (sad....) I hate doing taxes!!!! Just had a class reunion about 2 months ago with the guys from RI at the school's dining hall. The canteen and the assembly hall had been torn down to make way for (what's new?...) bigger and 'better' premises. I was also back for the RJC Open House. I can't believe elitist education can be so... elitist!

Something gripped me to start writing to Esther, another schoolmate from AJC who seems to be having a ball of her life in San Francisco working in a pretty

Looking for Ex-Classmates Missing in Action

I've decided to tap on the power of the crawling servers, search engines etc to find these people who have reported missing since eons we left school in the Class of 1992, 4D, Raffles Institution. Apparently many of these people mentioned have no web pages linked to them or were linked to outdated pages. In this age... it's getting easier for me to locate people. Hypertext links are like paper trails now. If for some reason you decided to search for the names below and you know how to locate them (Yes, including you narcissistic 'self-searching' MIA people), please contact me so that I can follow up. Bennett Eng Kim Heng Edwin Loh Chi-Vin Goh Hwee Leng Joey (Last Known: Imperial College, Tanaka Business School) Lam Wai Lau Chi Pan Patrick Lee Guan Shin Lee Han Chiang James Lek Teck Ban Lew Chern Fhan "Squid" Lim Hsiao Ping Richard Madhur Sood Nie Ker Jack Pang Ki Kim Wong Koon Min Yeap Heng Oon "Shang" Cheers.

The Perfect Curry Puff

Why do I love curry puffs? Why do I keep searching for the ideal curry puff? My memory of eating curry puff goes as far back to the time when I was 9 years old. I was in primary three then, in a neighbourhood primary school called Kebun Baru Primary School. It was a new school where I was the pioneer batch to have begun classes since Primary 1. During that time, the school building wasn't even ready and we had to put up at another school's premise. I remember soon after about a year or so, we moved into the new school building. It was fantastic because the new school compound was within short walking distance from our home. The only peeve was that getting to or away from my home to school required one to walk up/down a very long flight of steps, since our block of flats was situated on a pretty steep slope. I had counted 80 steps once. What comforted me was that I had the luxury of playing at a playground between my home and the school everyday with my neighbours before d
