The passenger door opened.  "Your keys," she said, dropping a brown envelope on the passenger seat before closing the door again.

The person at the door greeted us with a friendly, "Registration?"  Her face noticeably fell when we answered, "Cancellation."  Likewise the person at the counter.

The second floor was empty.  It took less than a minute ( Read more... )

Today I went to the wake of an old NCC friend of mine.  I hadn't seen him in 16 years (ever since we were in Sec 4), but I got a message over Facebook about his passing, and naturally I was shocked.

There were five of us at the wake, two I know well and two that I also hadn't seen in more than a decade.  Yet the conversation was comfortable and not ( Read more... )

Last Friday, I found out that eight of my Sec 1 N(T) students have qualified for lateral transfer to the N(A) stream (meaning they got more than 70% overall over the whole year).  That's actually very good, considering that we've got only about 60 Sec 1 N(T) students this year, whereas in the past, with about 75 Sec 1 N(T) students, we'd usually ( Read more... )

I just love love love this song!  Such an absolutely fun dance song!  :)

All I wanna do is stay right here on the floor
Get lost in the night
And dance like there's no tomorrow
Don't care about the sunrise
Somebody please just hit the lights
All I wanna do is dance like there's no tomorrow

Today just wasn't my day
Everyone's getting me so fed up
I've gotta ( Read more... )

Oh, why you look so sad?
The tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don't be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
Cos I've seen the dark side too

When the night falls on you
You don't know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less

I'll stand by you
I'll stand by you
Won't let nobody hurt you
I'll stand by you

So if you're mad, get ( Read more... )

I miss them.

I wonder if they know.

Or if they even care.

There are two rather contrasting songs that have been playing in my head recently.  So here they are.

In My Life  --  The Beatles

There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some ( Read more... )

I had been steadily putting on weight over the past few years, and I maxed out at 78kg sometime towards the end of the June holidays (which is really quite heavy, considering I'm only 1.69m tall - borderline obese, I believe my BMI told me).  Alarm bells went off, and I started my usual no-soft-drinks diet.  The first 5kg dropped off quite fast, ( Read more... )

She has moved on, and so shall I.

We're both good at that, anyway.

I've finally finished a lot of the things on my plate, except for some PPT slides that I've got to do for tomorrow's meeting with Supt, clearing the 30+ 40+ unread emails in my inbox, following-up on Tuesday's presentation by Apple, and various other admin stuff on MOE intranet.

Wait a minute, that doesn't sound like a very relaxing day after all.  ( Read more... )
