Works in Progress

Well, at least the IBM is still working :) Just reformatted now. Now comes the long and ardous process of rebuilding it.

Best Line I've Read in A Long While

"If we can take the calories out for the food, the pregnancy out of the sex and even the sex out of the pregnancy, why not take the harm out of alcohol?"

Help me be a Bookie

No, I am not changing careers and dabbling into the bookmaking/gambling/betting scene. Just feel like getting a few books to read and would like to appeal to everyone who reads this. Please recommend a, in face THE, book you would recommend I read. Lets see if we can make this a list worthy to be proud about :) Here goes, my first input:

1. Dance Dance Dance by Haruki Murakami

2. Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (intro by Ling @ 18/07/06)

3. Waiting for Godalming by Robert Rankin (intro by Ling @ 18/07/06)

4. The Dreamers Book 4: The Younger Gods by David & Leigh Eddings

5. Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, Dorothy Britton (Translator) (intro by Wanx @ 27/07/06)

6. The Plague by Albert Camus (intro by nai @ 11/09/06)

Why oh Why?

- Life seems to be on hold until she's back

- Can't I go to sleep at night

- Random ideas plague my sleepless nights

- Colours in my life seem somehow... dull

- A hermit I'm changing into

In the sweltering heat of Singapore. Dear old sunny, humid and scorching Singapore. Sustain yourself through the mid-afternoons with a mug of freshly squeezed lime juice after some lip smacking Hokkien Mee at your favourite hawker centre.

Ahhhh...

 

Here's to you my Dear.

Like a flower
Waiting to bloom
Like a lightbulb
In a dark room
I'm just sittin' here
Waiting for you
To come on home
And turn me on

Like the desert
Waiting for the rain
Like a school kid
Waiting for the spring
I'm just sittin' here
Waiting for you
To come on home
And turn me on

My poor heart
It's been so dark
Since you've been gone
After all you're the one who turns me off
But you're the only one who can turn me back on

My hi-fi is waiting for a new tune
My glass is waiting for some fresh ice-cubes
I'm just sittin' here
Waiting for you
To come on home
And turn me on
Turn me on
