2007 moving to 2008...

--------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever dreamed of a white Christmas? I'd prefer to celebrate it in the tropical weather..

--------------------------------------------------------------

As I'm writing off the final chapters of my '2007 chronicles', I slowly plot the storylines for the next book '2008'. Looking back, the year's been full of ups and downs, memories and nightmares. I'd guess that nothing is perfect in the world, each and every experience is an opportunity to learn new things, to measure your character and to test perseverance.

Today, as everyone is happily getting wasted on the Christmas night, I'd stay in front of my reliable lappy to reflect on my highlights and perhaps some of my lowlights which happened in the last 360 days. I guess, in another 5 days or so, I'd need to set myself a new path, direction to make sure what happened before does not repeat itself.

Nevertheless, I believe that life itself should be celebrated, other occasions are just reasons to make life richer, more memorable and most importantly celebrate gratitude to life and to everyone contributing to our lives.

Neglect all the nonsense above, as it is past bed-time and my mind is now set to auto-pilot. So, what I ACTUALLY want to say is MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all my family members, my lads and pals, my acquaintances, people who know me but I don't know them and yadda-yadda. All the best to all of you and thank you all for making me who I am today in the final days of 2007. May it be good times or bad times, I thank you all for painting some part in my book of '2007'.

新垣結衣 - Heavenly Days

I happened to bump into this clip when 'YouTub'ing, and hey, I find it quite a sweet song. I wonder what is the movie about?

Enjoy!

Norah Jones - Don't Know Why

------------------------------------------------

There is always a time when you'd listen to something which catches your attention. Well, this time it's this song, when i was watching a drama, happened to be one of the few distinct songs which I find it quite soothing. Here goes..

------------------------------------------------

Norah Jones - Don't know why

I waited til I saw the sun

I dont know why I didnt come

I left you by the house of fun

I dont know why I didnt come

I dont know why I didnt come

-

When I saw the break of day

I wished that I could fly away

Instead of kneeling in the sand

Catching teardrops in my hand

-

My heart is drenched in wine

But youll be on my mind

Forever

-

Out across the endless sea

I would die in ecstasy

But Ill be a bag of bones

Driving down the road along

-

My heart is drenched in wine

But youll be on my mind

Forever

-

Something has to make you run

I dont know why I didnt come

I feel as empty as a drum

I dont know why I didnt come

I dont know why I didnt come

I dont know why I didnt come

James Blunt - 1973

------------------------------------------------

It bothers me when I hear a song, usually one with a somewhat catchy tune, and it won't go off my mind till I listen to it for several times. Is it a disease? Please.. Help me..

------------------------------------------------

Alright, this time it's this song, 1973 by James Blunt, featured in his album, 'All The Lost Souls'. It just won't get off my mind.. Arrgh!!

James Blunt - All The Lost Souls (2007)

James Blunt - 1973

Simone

You're getting older

Your journey's been

Etched on your skin

Simone

Wish I had known that

What seemed so strong

Has been and gone

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out till the morning light

And we sang,

"Here we go again"

And though time goes by

I will always be

In a club with you

In 1973

Singing "Here we go again"

Simone

Wish I was sober

So I could see clearly now

The rain has gone

Simone

I guess it's over

My memory plays our tune

The same old song

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we`d both stay out till the morning light

And we sang, "Here we go again"

And though time goes by

I will always be

In a club with you

In 1973

Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out till the morning light

And we sang, "Here we go again"

And though time goes by

I will always be

In a club with you

In 1973

Singing "Here we go again"

I would call you up every Saturday night

And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light

And we sang, "Here we go again"

And though time goes by

I will always be

In a club with you

In 1973

Singing "Here we go again"

And though time goes by

I will always be

In a club with you

In 1973

Heh... at least i feel better now... *sighs..
