No need for sorrow and despair.
Meeting up with ex-colleagues has always been nothing short of a little something called Wonderful, whether it was someone from my first part time job I held when I was 14, someone from my first and favourite proper full-time fun as hell job or people from the wacky (whacked?) place I just left a couple of months back.
I wish more people would take the time to meet up, with each other. Not necessarily with me, but just with people who matter. People come and go in our lives because life is transient and we go through different phases and seasons as we grow up, but still, I wish people would make more of an effort to remain close to the people who were once important to us instead of blaming life for drifting apart.
For that, I’m glad for my life because I think I’ve managed to keep the people who matter close by my side, if not physically. There’ve been slips between the cracks, inevitably but I suppose this is a reminder to myself to constantly make that effort on my part.
Finally meeting Hana the Super Spudnik tomorrow for a late dinner. Insanely excited about this! Heeee.
Lunch was with the Spoonsters, to celebrate Li-wei’s birthday. I was so tempted to bring Meatball along to celebrate her birthday alongside him! Hee hee hee. I’m disappointed that I am disappointed with Saraceno. Re-read that, because it makes sense. I wish mains could be as consistent and of the same quality as starters. Maybe I could just go and get full on starters? Lol.
Meeting up with my oldest friend is always fun. Lee Teng & I may be worlds apart in terms of personality and character, but somehow it just clicks. Wonderful how life works out. An indication of how vastly different we are - there is possibly only one friend we have in common that we both like.
On a separate note, school is starting in less than 2 weeks and I am mildy freaked out. I won’t have any friends, boohoo. It’s the first time I’ll be back in school after 3 years working full-time.. Ahh! O save me. At least orientation is only a day - THANK GOD, because I hate icebreakers and self-introductions. Haha. I am so anti-social sometimes. Shy, okay?
Don't you all wish you could lie in bed, cuddled up all day? I haven't bummed around enough yet! nooooooo.....!
Oh, and if you haven’t already, please please please watch this awesome stop motion video by Olympus. It’s for their 50th anniversary as well as the launch of the gorgeoussss EP-1 PEN camera. Lovely video! And camera. *lusts*

Down Below - Johannes Stankowski / prod. & arranged by Michael Kadelbach
Be just who you want to be, my friend
You just got to trust in fate.
Do the things you want to do ‘cause life don’t wait
Take it easy, keep your head up high
No need for sorrow and despair
Just keep on moving, it’s such a wonderous world out there
The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below
Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below
It’s a long road we all got to walk
But there’s an awful lot to see
And the sun keeps rising up wherever you may be
Fly the ocean, dive into the blue
No need for sorrow and despair
Just keep moving, it’s such a wonderous world out there
The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below
Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below
The years are flashing by and everything will change
But way down deep inside - we all just stay the same
And down below
Old memories come alive and then we know
Down below
Stop motion is awesomez!
Life is also teh awesomez because my boyfriend rocks my socks! It isn’t the amount spent, but the thought that goes behind the physical gifts. He’s home tomorrow! <3
