Post-F1 blues...
Tuesday, September 30, 2008
Alright, the whole world already know about this - Singapore has hosted its first ever F1 grand prix with a big bang, winning praises from all over the globe. Singapore - who hosted the 1st ever night race - in the words of Bernie Ecclestone, is another jewel of the F1 crown, rivalling the fame Monaco. The fast and furious actions on the track have concluded, but the praises are still coming in. Well done, Singapore! We have wow the world with a race filled with thrills, drama, and twist and turn. Who would have expected a racer starting the grid in 15th position could, in a circuit described as lacking opportunities for overtaking, be standing on the top of the podium with his name going down in history as the "Prince of Darkness". This is really "Uniquely Singapore". =)
Well, as for me, this is also the first time ever that I've actually watched a broadcast of the whole race. While I have caught bits of F1 races in the past, my attention span was usually too short - lasting mere few minute. I usually find it quite a bore cos all there was to see were cars running round and round. Somehow, this first experience of watching the full race was quite pleasant. Guess it was partly helped by the fact that I actually caught the qualifying race broadcast too. haha... didnt planned to watch it really, but it was a boring weekend with no other programme to watch. Anyway, like they say, the rest is history. I doubt I will become a F1 fan, but I sure dun mind catching it again next year when it comes to our sunny island.
Come to tink of it, the sun in our sunny island seemed to love F1 race too. The weather was super sunny only for sat and sun. Barely 24 hrs after the race concluded, the storm and rain came back to reclaim their rightful positions. Hmm, maybe the sun is suffering from post-F1 blues too, and had gone to hide. Hope the weather will turn sunny soon. I need to get my suntan!! At the very least, please don't rain on this sat night... cos A-Mei will be in town! Looking forward to attending her concert! Okie, I need to go and learn her songs now.... hahaha!!!!

Crush
Tuesday, September 23, 2008
David Archuleta's latest single, Crush
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
There's a rush, what a rush
Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing could go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away, going away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When were hangin, spending time girl
Are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away, going away
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love
Is it real or just another crush
Do you catch your breath
When I look at you
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away
This crush aint going away
Going away, Going away

A song most apt for this season, don't you think?
Well, it's the month of september afterall!
Lonely September by Plain White T's
I'm sitting here all by myself
just trying to think of something to do
Trying to think of something, anything
just to keep me from thinking of you
But you know it's not working out
Cause you're all that's on my mind
One thought of you is all it takes
to leave the rest of the world behind
Oh…
I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
I'm sitting here trying to convince myself
that you're not the one for me
But the more I think, the less I believe it
and the more I want you here with me
You know the holidays are coming up
I don't want to spend them alone
Memories of Christmas time with you
would just kill me if I'm on my own
Oh…
I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back
I know it's not the smartest thing to do
we just can't seem to get it right
But what I wouldn't give to have one more chance tonight
one more chance tonight
I'm sitting here trying to entertain myself with this old guitar
But with all my inspiration gone it's not getting me very far
I look around my room and everything I see reminds me of you
Oh please, baby won't you take my hand
we've got nothing left to prove
Oh…
I didn't mean for this to go as far as it did
And I didn't mean to get so close and share what we did
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
And I didn't mean to meet you then
when we were just kids
And I didn't mean to give you chills
the way that I kiss
And I didn't mean to fall in love, but I did
And you didn't mean to love me back but I know you did
Don't say you didn't love me back cause you know you did
No, you didn't mean to love me back
But you did

Ambassador of Singapore
Friday, September 05, 2008
It has been a pretty tiring week for me. I've been running around different corners of Singapore while hosting a group of foreign visitors. This week, I'm the friendly ambassador of Singapore, doing cultural diplomacy with friends beyond our tiny shores. Of course, the good things is that I've been having free lunches and dinners. But it also means I have to be smiley, polite and diplomatic at all times, so as not to bring discredit to the country. Well, the week is ending and my new-found friends will be returning home soon. Hopefully, I will be able to have some good rest for this weekend.
Hmm... but I doubt so. Have a wedding to attend on Sat afternoon, before rushing off for more assignments. hmm... wish i can go away from Singapore. Ok, i think this is like the countless times I have mentioned that I wan to go on a holiday. Guess I should stop talking about it, and simply just do it! Changi Airport, here I come. Though i'll be there today just to send my friends off, but rest assured, I will be back again soon to pack myself off to another land!
