working me ass off

yep, it has been that kinda week. i can't really feel my ass right now because i have almost worked it off. where is it anyway?


i'll be looking forward to a good weekend. after this, its going to be quite a few months with a big project kicking off. sometimes, the anticipation and planning just wears you out instead of the actual thing. but still, its something which we have been looking forward and planning for since the end of last year.

so how is work treating you recently?
have you already feel like throwing in the towel or are you still as excited about work as ever?
when was the last time you felt like you really like your job or has it been like constant 'mondays' for you, even though it is a friday today?

old school rock and roll

i was cleaning up my room yesterday, and i came across some rather old stuff. at least 6 years ago, scripts, directions and what-nots. i sat myself down and looked at them and a smile slowly developed. those were pretty good times really. i'll try and see if i can dig up some more of my old scripts and maybe i can post them up here.


a few days ago, i read in the papers that guns n roses was coming to singapore for a concert. well, now that was a real flashback to way back. must be something like 1990 when i first heard them and it was my first introduction to heavy metal back then. they were a good band but always got into trouble due to their drug and alcohol problems. i presume they must have cleaned up their act since then, because they are still alive. no one could have survived this long if they were snorting drugs and downing alcohol like they did, till now. i saw some of their concerts on video and most of the time, they are already drunk when they came on stage.

anyway, it would not be the original band members coming, so i thought that it was kinda ironic to still call themselves guns n roses. but they were 1 of the best bands at that time. in fact, some of us even hoped that they were come in for a concert, but that was back then, more than 10 years ago. oh well...

i see you standing, standing all alone.

its such a lonely, lonely place for you to be.

if you need a shoulder,

or if you need a friend.

i'll be here standing, until the bitter end.

no one needs the sorrow,

no one needs the pain,

i hate to see you walking there, out in the rain.

so don't chasitise me, or think i mean you harm.

i don't just take you, leave you strung out much too far.

don't ever leave me,

say you'll always be there.

all i ever wanted, was for you to know that i care.

critically yours

sometimes, i feel that i am being over-critical of people. its like, i'm this fussy old man that cannot stand people behaving in manners that do not suit me. what is it about me anyway? am i becoming this really bitter person? sigh...

should i even be complaining about a close friend who needs to always move around with the spouse? i mean, whats wrong with that, being loving? i mean whats the matter with bring your spouse to a gathering of friends? whats wrong that all the others have left their spouse at home? whats the fuss that people are not too comfortable with the spouse? whats the big deal that we had to change the dates to suit you because your spouse was not able to make it those proposed before?

i'm being too critical, really...

i was being mean too.
a friend asked us out over the weekend. his reason was that his wife was not in town so he wanted to get us for a night's out. my message to him was that i was not able to make it. but if he wanted another night's out, he should asked me when his wife is in town.

does it really mean that a marriage means that you are totally tied down? it means that you have to do everything, and i mean everything, with your spouse in tow? would you, as a guy, follow your wife on a shopping trip with her and 5 others of her female friends? would you as a girl who hates soccer, follow your husband to a pub to join him watching soccer on the big screen while drinking beer, eating junk food and swearing at every mistake, with 10 other of his friends?

complains and criticize, complains and criticize. don't you just feel that i'm just plain mean?

critically yours...

back to work

finally, i am back at my desk here at work. after a good 3 weeks vacation, i have to say that it does feel a bit good to be back.

i know, you must think that i am crazy to feel good to be back at work but the fact is that my job has been good to me, so i can't say that i hate coming back to it. unless i have millions and millions of dollars such that i can afford to not work and just do anything i want to do. if not, doing the job that i have now is something that i am happy doing.

did you know that one of the budget airways is now flying to krabi? for 25.98 1 way, hey, thats a truely good deal if i ever saw one. i have not been to krabi before but i heard that its another beautiful place, something like phuket. with this cheaper flights there, i do believe that it will not be long before you hear me zipping off to this destination.
