Wow.. was this suppose to be a holiday? I really thought I could rest, but unfortunately, my mind is working on so many things at the same time on both my social and professional life.

Apart from running projects, I have undertaken some new responsibilities and the activities are building up.

I have just assumed a leadership role in my CIX cluster to make proposal on a location-based service project. Deadline will be end of Nov 08. I have also recently assume the role as the Visitor Host in my BNI chapter. Apart from making all our visitor feel comfortable and attend to their queries and needs, this role also requires me to meet more people and explore the possibility of turning our visitors into members. Lucky for me, I am supported by 2 other fellow members, Siok and Gladys.

More on myself, despite being buzy with work, I suddenly felt an emptiness in me. Maybe i have been spending too much time in work and forgo all my other activities that I like to do. How can I fill up this emptiness? With this my hobbies started to pop-up in my mind. Maybe I should purchase a electric piano (quite cheap nowadays) or maybe I could do my windsurfing or I could go for my diving course eariler than expected? Yes, time to work on these. I believe that things will get better each day. 8)

With this thoughts, I pick up my pen and start to do something that I have stopped doing for almost 20 years. A sudden urge ran thru me and I started to write a song. Haaa.... for those who doesn't know me in those days, I used to be in the band. Picked up quite a number of instruments but my primary is Guitar. Apart from playing music, we wrote song and compose song together. Interesting ya.

Anyway, the above all happened at 7.30am. So by 9.30am, we are already on our way to city for breakfast.





After breakfast, we left for Parkway Parade to "tapao" our favourite mixed vegetable rice or economical rice. While my wife call it choose choose.

Was dead tired after we reached home at 12.00pm. I think I really have a rough nite. Did not get enough rest. I even woke up at 2am and chatted my friend. Haaaaa. Took a nap till 3pm and continue with my work.

At 5pm, I went for my haircut. Yes, my hair is real short. Came home and completed my song. A song dedicated to a man who has regretted not speaking the truth when he has a chance due to complications. But when he eventually decided to speak his mind, the girl died in an accident. These are true accounts of life and I held on to this philosophy even though the truth maybe bitter. I will rather face it then to live in regret. Here it goes:

Verse 1

Time can do so much
Life can change so fast
We may have love that much, haven’t we
We may lose as much

Verse 2

Thoughts can see too much
Our heart will find the path
Wherever you are
Whoever you are

Chorus
When you feel that love has found its way to you
Have I told u lately that’s how I feel
But now there's nothing left to say cos I cannot speak to you
My Dear
Yes I am crying while you're sleeping

Verse 3
Road can wear you down
Tears that making you sad
All the ups and downs you experience
That is our source of strength

Bridge
If you're caught in a situation when there some complication
Will you speak your mind
If there will be tears and sorrow and this is what you see tomorrow
Will you speak your mind

Sorry folks. I cannot do score. I play by ear and write simple notes to remember the song. If you want to know how it sound, haaaaa. You will have to come to my house to hear me sing! Try me if you dare.

I shall continue my work till late. The next 2 weeks will be implementation at a project site and rushing to fulfil all my other responsibilities. I really doubt I will have time to update my blog. Readers, i guess I will have to retire till 10 Nov 2008. Please check my blog after 10 Nov 2008.
