In the end

There were so many issued that I want to rage on my blog – Oxley Road house, minister’s comments on MRT breakdowns, deadlines and more deadlines, people piling more and more work at me …..

But when I signed on WordPress, I felt so numb and don’t really have anything to write. My mind is full of deadlines over the most boring, unimportant mundane stuff that I can no longer occupy my brain with useful knowledge.

Corporate world wanting me to be their version of me whilst I want to be my version of myself. 

My parents worked so high and suffered so much throughout their lives.  By the time when they can retire without financial liability, they are hit by chronic illness. 

I fear that by the time that I can slam the door and leave corporate world behind, I will repeat their same fate. Or worst, corporate world is Hotel California that I can’t leave. 

In the end, it doesn’t matter. No matter how hard I try. 

Rest in peace, Chester Bennington.  I do not know your name before your death. I only knew your sorrowful voice through Linkin Park. There was a phase in my life that I listen to In The End, Numb etc repeatedly every morning before I face this real world.  

Random stuff

Watched Jacky Cheung’s concert and was very impressed. The stage was spectacular.   I love the part where all the stars are dancing around him. At 55 years old, he still can dance and sing effortlessly.  One of the best concert I ever attended. 

Watched Survivor Game Changer.  My favourite player, Tony, is voted off.  Doesn’t like the fact that Sandra targeted him and gloated while he was gone.  Sandra acted like Russel Hantz instead of the underdog in Pearl Island. Still think that their original plan to have all the treat in one alliance is a better idea. Now, Hali Ford & Troyzan, got free passes. Meh.

Feel sick after working too hard.  My body finally protested.

On a positive note, I finally remember how to float on water.  

Memories of 2016

Joseph Schooling won Singapore first ever Olympic Gold. 🏊🏼🏅🥇

Brexit

David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Prince, George Michael, Carrie Fisher, Debbie Reynolds ~ May the Force be with you while You are Singing in the Purple Rain. Let’s dance in Freedom. Always. 

Pokemon Go. I walk and catch and hatch and evolve. 

10,000 steps every day. Rain, shine or even when I fell. 

Piano Tiles 2.

Christmas

Woke up to news that George Michael has passed away on Christmas. Not a good year for British stars. In Jan, David Bowie and Alan Rickman, now George Michael.  

You may not be with us this Christmas, but Last Christmas will be eternal. 

Update

Bought The Land of Stories but have not read it yet. So many distractions –

太陽的後裔 – finally watched the show. Beautiful scenery. It is a nationalistic show wrapped in a romance story. 

Piano tiles 2 – trying to get free songs every night

Work – getting busy again

八時入席 – daily show to distress

Pokemon Go ! – walked a lot, which is ok because I have been taking 10k steps most days. But soles have been aching for several months.  Really enjoying catching the different pokemon.

Bought Mayday’s 自傳 and realised no Chinese titles. 動物派對during cheered me up on the way to work.

Too many mass shootings / terrorist attacks in Nice, Paris, Munich, Japan and US.

A day to remember 

Random

Hold the Door………the music is haunting when Bran realised why Hodor is Hodor. This is so far the saddest death. 

Don’t want to sleep at night, can’t wake up the next day, tell myself to sleep earlier but still sleep late => the same cycle again and again. 

On weekend, all I want to do is lie on my bed and sleep whole day. 

Feeling that I didn’t learn anything in the last few years. Work, work, work, no time to care about other stuff. Really need to take a look at widening my horizon. 

Feeling pains on the heels for the past few weeks. 

Piano tiles are my way to distress. 

After a long day at work, look forward to 畫哥與阿細，阿虹的interaction. 對小人物的日常生活比較有共鳴。

我老是莫名的恐懼，憂鬱，必須學習莫名的高興。
