One sweet day

Song by Mariah Carey

For the first time in 3 years, I was the only guy among my colleagues who went for the Big Walk on Sunday. One of them roped in her reluctant boyfriend. The walk this year was better than the last as the weather was fine. We took our 'annual' photo at the Esplanade and went to Swensen's after that to clelebrate one of the girls birthday.
I went home and slept after the morning exercise. After doing my household chores my wife got a call at around 7pm. Its seems that my brother in law's best friend got involved in accident and died. My wife and I was both saddened and shocked by the news as he was like part of the family. My mom-in-law wept uncontrollably. He was only 35 and had a wife and a six year old daughter. I was just talking to him last week. Life is short as it always seems. You sometimes don't know what you got till its gone. My brother-in-law is still in distress as he stare into empty space and lost his appetite,his wife said. My wife and I hold each other closer than ever as we sleep at night. We should all appreciate what he have as nothing in this world last forever.

Supermodel

A few incidences happen to me on the way to work over the last 2 days. Firstly, on Monday I was on the bus minding my own business as usual reading the news. Halfway through the journey a schoolgirl came in and sat opposite of me. When I looked at her I noticed that she looked almost exactly like one of the America Next Top Model winner, Naima (above). The resemblance was so uncanny. The only thing is that this girl wear glasses and Naima didn't. I heard that there is about 6 people in this world that look like you. Funny to think that there are 6 people walking around talking, eating, sleeping and looking like me but its not me.
On Tuesday while I was walking toward my workplace I saw a bus parked awkwardly near the traffic junction with police tape all over it. Accident I guess. I was looking for the vehicle that was involved in the accident and I couldn't find any. And there it was, a body on the side of the road covered in white plastic shroud. Normally I would be unfazed by such things but this time the sight did send a sort of chill down my spine.

Koi

Music by Kitaro

I always hang out at the mini park just outside the building where I work in. There is this little koi pond where I sit down sometimes during lunch and just relax and de-stress. Sometimes some of my colleagues who are lunching there or just came back from lunch would sit down with me. Its sort of a get together place I guess.
I returned from the 3 days Batam trip on Sunday. So much has changed since I went to the hill top mosque - mainly the facilities are better. The mosque we visited was a buzz with activity which is so different from the ghost-town like atmosphere of the one we visited in Johore. Kids running around here and there, peddlers selling Bakso outside the mosque and there is even a court where people play volleyball, soccer and badminton at different time of the day. But Alhamdulillah, before azan
(prayer call) everyone stop and go for prayers. We head to the Mega Mall before returning to Singapore and the place is turning into a shopping centre like the ones we had in Singapore.

Welcome to my Life

Song by Simple Plan.

PAP won again, Man U ended up 2nd in the primiership and I had a moody Monday yesterday. I got up and didn't feel like coming to work. Before leaving, I kissed my wife and head to the door, like she got the day off and I was very jealous. Nonetheless the day went on without much glitches, its just that I was tired, weary, moody and hate Mondays.
I always have this recurring dreams about exams and its never good. I had one yesterday. Its usually like I was preparing for it and I didn't have time to finish or I didn't study for it. Maybe its because that I had taken too many exams. I actually took my A levels 4 times, my driving exams 3 times plus not to mention 'others'. Maybe its because I'm always unprepared, or maybe.... well there is too many maybe's. I just hope that those dreams would stop forever.

Crazy for you.

By now I don't know whether the bowling craze has died down. It started last month when I asked some of my colleagues to bowl at CSC Bukit Batok. My boss found out and he told me to tell everyone in the company. So I did and about 8 people turn out including my boss who beat the crap out of us. I didn't know he was that good. Then they started to play about twice a week and I joined them sometimes. It was all good fun, we laughed at each other cracked jokes and bowled for about 2 hours each time. Some brought their wives, some their boyfriends and friends and family. Well they stopped recently, maybe they took a break or what. Well if they start again , I'm ready baby.
