Somebody

My weekend went pretty well for a fucked up week preceding that. Caught up on my sleep on Saturday and went wakeboarding from late afternoon till the sun went home. Had a fantastic run. Managed to cross the wake although still not jumping and getting the pop. The guys were really encouraging given that they all could do insane tricks but keep having to come back for me only to watch me slam my face into the water again. Enjoyed myself tremendously and totally erased my doubts on how people can ever get addicted to wakeboarding. All that's in my mind now is to improve on my toe-side and maintain heel-side. If you understand what I was saying, give me a call and we can go ride some wake this coming weekend.

This morning was Lala's baptism and I was the official photographer. Will have some nice shots to put up soon. We had to go all the way to Clementi and to think after the baptism, we'd get out of that ulu place. Apparently, we went car shopping from Leng Kee to Turf City and somehow, kept finding ourselves going back to Upper Bukit Timah, Clementi and Balestier. We just drove and drove. My right foot is undergoing my Osim massage as I type this. Managed to run some errands which I've been putting off for weeks.

I can forsee the next few weeks gonna be tough for me at work. I have to work even harder to prove my presence and if all else fails, that's probably the red light to tell me, the story has come to an end and I should look to move on to a place that could better accomodate me. I'm giving this one last chance and hopefully by the end of this quarter, I could go pay up the down payment of my car. Saw a second-hand E46 which has just gone a little more than 50,000 km. 1.8ltr grey Excellent condition. OMV at 40k. Single owner. 3 years old. Going for little less than 80k. Great buy for sedated drive for the next 2 years of so.

Heard this song when I was driving today. The typical Valentines' day top dedicated song but I've never thought much about it until I sat down to think about the lyrics. It's nice though second to Stacey Kent's So Nice

Depeche Mode's Somebody

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
