Random Thoughts

I really wonder if the existence of this blog really matters anymore. There are lesser and lesser things to write about, and if I do really blog, it's really just the mundane and uninteresting work stuff or my very own complaints, in which their very absence won't make much a difference.

Probably that spells about my very own life, boring and uninteresting. Besides the occasional gatherings initiated by friends, it's just work, home and tuition.

And it's also probably I'm too tired to do anything else after the day's work. I have given up a few of the things I like to do because I just can't find that energy I used to have. It might be the age, it might be something else. That, I really don't know.

So will this blog go down to having the same fate as my other interests, gradually disappearing?

We'll see.

The melancholy before Monday.

X Factor

The introduction of a new song from a friend, Bad Boys by Alexandra Burke, made me look up more information on the singer and realised she's the winner of X factor 2008. Here is her performance when she came as a guest on X Factor 2009.


Her versatility and amazing vocals really made me think that are more talent then just American Idol or America's Got Talent (X factor is a British show), less about Singapore Idol.

Here are some of her performances during the competition in X factor 2008.







And many other more.

And now I am off, to see DT's concert.

Topic-less

For a moment, I thought that the IT department has blocked me from surfing my own blog in the office. I know I shouldn't blog during office hours, but I just want to note this down.

So here I am, first day of work for 2010.

Wish me luck.

And So It's 2010

I guessed Ihave gotten over with all the hype over the new year. Well it's just another day with the dates changing, that's all. We experienced that every single day, and we don't celebrate everyday, don't we? That's why I don't see why there is such a big countdown hoo-hah in so many places.

Probably we all need excuses to party. It is a good way to relieve our stresses and emerge ourselves in the festive mood. It is a way to reward ourselves for our hard work put in (and an avenue to spend our hard earned money). Having said that, I still think the new year is just another day, and probably more shit is lining ahead.

Since I am at the topic of the new year, it reminds me about making resolutions. If my memory doesn't fail me, I think I have made some resolutions for 2009 (I am lazy to check back my previous blog posts), one of the resolutions is to organise more gatherings to meet up with my friends.

I dare to say that I have that in mind the whole while throughout 2009 and have been intitating get togethers whenever possible. Plus, trying to meet my friends when any gatherings are initiated by others, as much as possible. But after having trying to initiate and get people together, I have realised somethings, which may not be as positive. Once you start doing that, people start to take you for granted in organinsing get togethers. I think for the past 2 or 3 months or so, I have been getting smses like "Hey lets meet up. Can you sms the others?" Actually I am perfectly fine with that. But at times, I am really held up either with work or other commitments that I cannot make it for that outing. Then the problem comes. The failure to organise get togethers or even smsing people or to be there will deem as I not being active or unwilling to meet up with my friends.

AND that is the reason why I stop making any resolutions for 2010. I guess I just live the my life as it is. I will still do the things I want to do, still meeting friends as usual, and I still love the people around me but I guess organising get togethers will not be my top priority in 2010. People have their other halves to be with, and so who am I to interrupt?

Oh well, it's the new year anyway. I shouldn't be so agitated.

There are things I want to do, but it's not because its the new year and I want to fulfil some goals. It just happens that this sudden burst of wanting to do things happen now.

And there it is. My first post for the new year.

Happy (belated) new year people.
