END OF THE WORLD

I never knew the name of the singer who sang this song. Just found out today.

Skeeter Davis 1964 - End of the world. I'm sure you've heard this song before right guys?

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more

Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does

Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Ode to Sadness

Sadness you are my closest of friends,
Silence and contemplation are your companions.
Each day you visit me and catch me unawares.
When you do come, it is like the falling of autumn leaves.
The dried and brown, the dead and yellow.
They float to the ground, reminiscent of better days.
Forlorn, forsaken, and without hope.
And then, a strong gust of wind arises to blow them all away.
And for a moment, a brief moment, the ground is empty.
A gentle breeze, teasing of hope awakens.
Like the touch of a feather.
But for a fleeting moment and then, the still once again.
Sadness you are my closest of friends.

Wedding Part 2

Hey guys, sorry for the long wait. Finally get to update wedding part 2. It was a nice dinner. Amy Khor and John Chen were there. Andre's parents have friends in high places. :)

Here you see Careen in a wonderful black dress and her goth shoes I bought for her. (Croc leather style!)

Also, she was hosting for the dinner. She did a splendid job!

ROYAL GOTH

Hi guys! I'm shifting house tomorrow...real tiring. Was cleaning up the new place the whole day today.

I think the theme for my house is ROYAL GOTH. It's not completed yet cos the furniture is not completely in. The stuff from I wanna go home is only coming on the 16th Mar, so got to wait a bit, then also I have decided how to decorate the walls, like the paintings etc. But what I really like for this house is 1) the staircase, looks quite european, roman, etc 2) the lights, palace feel, 3) the balcony, windy and nice.

Hope to do a house warming end of march. Still deciding. :)

Cheers. Missing ALL of you.

Cousin Wedding Part 1

Today is Meiyi and Andre's wedding! Careen's cousin meiyi.

We took Jordan to the family house and spent some time fellowshipping. Cheryl was there too with her baby girl.

The most interesting thing for me (other than having to feed Jordan and make a mess out of the whole place) was to see the decapitation of the suckling pig!

Later going to Shangrila for the dinner. Heard that Amy Khor will be there too. Careen is singing Zhi Shao Hai You Ni. Yeah! Write later...
