She wore a new watch. And it looks nice. She donned a cute tee. It looks cute. She had the same smile. And it looks familiar. I looked back. I hope her steps are light.

It's okay, I'm fine, really :)

Today I had an emo train ride home.

I had unintentionally caused a female friend to be angry. And I experienced the typical, unfathomable girl behaviour - Suddenly they just go silent. Immediately you know something's amiss, so naturally you'll apologise profusely and all that. But then they'll claim "It's ok, I'm fine, really", further making a point by ending the sentence with an innocent, all-that-almighty smiley :).

But of course, you know something's brewing inside her, awaiting to erupt. Especially if it's your girlfriend. You prepare yourself for the molten lava that floods out faster than you can handle, together with all the historical details as back up, your seemingly mistakes you took she didn't take to heart, even bringing up sesame green peas matters you long presumed the hatchet had been buried. It shocks you the uncountable chapters of events she safekeeps in her brain.

I dislike that feeling. The cleaning up is deplorable and messy; often resulting in squabbles, bickers, black faces and unhappiness that lingers for the whole day, spoiling both your mood and appetite. It even spells on your face.

Earlier I was saying I made a joke too much and made my friend angry. I offered my sincere apologies. She replied with the one liner 'it's ok I'm fine' - the deceptive dangerous wind before the storm.

And that was the reason behind my emo train ride home. Kinda regretted making that bad joke, kept hoping that she doesn't take my words to heart. I was initially affected very much by her reaction cos I don't enjoy offending people, especially my friends.

Later, however, I realised the bigger reason was because there isn't a someone for me to feel emo over.

TMSACO Debut Concert

The feeling is back
The fingers aren't numb
The numbers make sense
The beats sharp and tense
The music to the ears
Brings back historical years
All dressed in smart
Geared up for the night
A debut it is
A memory deeply etched it'd be
The stage is set
The curtains to be drawn
All hail the night
When we play with might
For the love of music we'll fight
The baton raised high
Swaying tempo with might
It's alas but my last
Ending on a blast

__


The crowd clapped and cheered
With every song we played
Plenty of music we entertained
Many months of prep it took
All but for 2 hours of worth
Tmsaco debut concert's birth
"Encore encore" they urged
Mambo No. 5 along we cheered
Lights smiles flashes and pictures
What a fantastic night it's been
Friends of music gathered and seen
Yesterday's the first to set the pace
Just a glimpse of many ways
Certainly hope to welcome more
For the love of music we yearn for



HUAT ARH!!!

After work, the whole family drove to a nearby row of coffeeshops and settled down for dinner at a Zi Char place, we enjoyed nice fish soup and spicy Indo prawn, rare cool winds delighted our faces, then we did some grocery shopping and laughed in the car on the drive back home.

Ah, the simple pleasures of life. =)

Today celebrates my first day of work. HAHA! Finally, a place that at least, I can call 'home'. HAHAHA. New challenges ahead.

Am suddenly facing an emotional loss/detachment so decided it'd be a good idea to be more self aware by putting thoughts into words, perhaps it might make me feel better.

Current loves of my life:
1) Youth
2) Family & Friends
3) Food
4) Health
5) Soccer
6) Freedom

I also have a "exciting year ahead" at the back of my mind but am unsure whether it can be considered as a "love". Haha. Anyways, I sure am putting "Food" as No. 1 for now. Because I am so damn hungry and looking forward to a yummmy breakfast tmr!

Dear Diary,

Today I went for TMSACO practice, again! Haha. 4 hours went past so quickly! I still couldn't play most parts of any song, but I still enjoyed myself, playing in an orchestra again =) And then there was this small portion, maybe only a few bars - but I shocked myself when I found myself playing along to sight-reading! It felt just as though I had ransacked my grey matter and discovered a treasure box of music notes. HAHA.

____

On another note, I realise I need to find my bearing.

Once upon a time....

There was a dream. A dream belonging to a group of happy youths...































And so they found it! Ha!
















The world's cutest, simplistic yet tastiest burgers!

Random notes from Ye

On 2 separate occasions, I was working at my home desk when Ye sat beside, doodled on a post-it and passed it to me:
