Allison Krause - Down to the River To Pray
OST: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

that feeling has passed. :)
right after my first coffee of the day, although i had to have a 3-button cup (maximum beans-strength!!!).

maybe just had a not so good start of the day, then i left it to drag on.
oh well...

brought back work to do for tonight... better get a start on it soon! :)

i feel tired today.

tired-tired.

like "meh..." kindda tired.
just feel.... blah....

everything at work is ok, tho... things are going nicely and all.... kindda....
:/


think i just need some good old stress-free rest and start tomorrow with a nice fresh cup of coffee. :)

i've always wanted to be a dj!

check out this tape mix i did, just for fun on facebook...

</div>

For some reason... when i try and play it back here, it doesnt load/play smoothly- which sucks big time.
This link might be better, i'm not sure. http://www.spotdj.com/playlists/858031938cf7dd4b

ps. just 5 tracks, but it's a little club-y... like in intro into the weekend kind of mix. cheers! ;)

The Temptations - My Girl

Check out those mooooves!
Yea, that's what i'm talking about... woot! such showmanship. :)

Aerosmith - Come Together

( another Aerosmith favourite...  )

I like too many Aerosmith songs to choose just 2... but it all has to stop somewhere. :)

Stone Temple Pilots - Plush

in an effort to keep this journal "alive"...

A couple more random shots... along with a few from a nice little visit to a (rather far away) ceramic school with kiln thingy somewhere at the end of the world. :)

These were taken when our friend, pamdewind, came for a visit.
We did the makan session get-together, kids were also busy catching up...

( photos behind cut... )

We went to visit this "potential new office space" at dempsy road area.
These lovely old warehouses and apartment blocks were in the early stages of being restored/conserved during our visit.

I have been trying out a couple of rounds on a loaned Lomo LC-A camera... just for fun.
I've kidnapped/borrowed my brother's negative scanner... and will be posting a coupla photos each time.

( all of which will be behind cuts... )

Frequency of posts will depend on my schedule. :)
i've already scanned quite a number... ready for upload. So just keep posted if you're interested.
Cheers,

I'll just say that time in the last 12 months passed a whole lot quicker... as reference to time when one is having a jolly good time. :)

23 May 2006 was my last day at the previous office. i have officially put all bad feelings in the past behind me and sealed it.

As some of you may know, i recently took a trip to London to visit a good friend triciaseow as well as a cousin who's staying in Leeds; and of course, see a bit of london town.

Just about a week before i left singapore, i told trish that i REALLY MUST see St Paul's Cathedral when i'm there.
And i warned her that i might cry when i see it.

I've always liked drawing/sketching in my younger years. When i was in Secondary school, my math teacher left for the UK to do more studying... and we wrote to each other frequently via snail mail letters or postcards. one time, she sent me a postcard of St Paul's... she wrote: "here's something for a budding artist, how about drawing this?"

and i did.
I kindda liked what i drew... and from then, i liked the idea of drawing buildings.
I sent her the sketch and she said she pinned it on her room wall!
I later on graduated from Secondary school and found myself a spot in ITE as an Apprentice in Architecture, Building Drafting course. now you see why i MUST SEE St Paul's.
