July 30, 2007 : Nothing special day.

This be days of working late into the night finding out how to read an xml file and converting unicode characters to UTF-8 characters, coming home to a lonely, empty room, trying hard to figure out what is the "Prime Object" , planning my trip home for my cousin's wedding, and doing some housekeeping on my hard-drive.

so, "nothing special"... really....

Recommended listening for the day : The All-American Rejects - It Ends Tonight

This is a freaking awesome song, I think I first heard it over the MTV channels, and then I heard it again in one of the episodes of Smallville. Totally fell in love with it. Going to buy the Rejects concert DVD soon.

Anyways, enjoy




It Ends Tonight

Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can't explain myself at all.
And all the wants
And all the needs
All I don't want to need at all.

The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.

A falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can't explain what you can't explain.
You're finding things that you didn't know
I look at you with such disdain

The walls start breathing
My mind's unweaving
Maybe it's best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.

Now I'm on my own side
It's better than being on your side
It's my fault when you're blind
It's better that I see it through your eyes

All these thoughts locked inside
Now you're the first to know

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends

When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.

Tonight
Insight
When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight.

Recommended listening for the day : 陳奕迅 - 富士山下

Not exactly a new song, but definitely one of my favourite.
And somehow, I find myself listening to it almost every day.



Hope ya enjoy it.

There is no "i" in team

Tough luck convincing people about that, I don't know if this is a problem only in Singapore, or it's a whole worldwide thingy. So far in my career, I see a lot of politics going on everywhere. I've seen politics between clients and vendors, I've seen politics between departments, I've seen politics between people of different races, and I've seen politics between teams, but seriously, aren't we supposed to be working towards a common goal here? We do work for the same company, but everyday it's like a taichi exercise, or like my colleagues put it, a badminton game where everyone is busy trying to push the blame to someone else, and trying to cover their own asses. I see this everywhere I go, now is it just me being unlucky or is it the same everywhere else, and I should just get used to it and learn to play along?

Why do I watch sucky movies?

Spent the weekend watching a series of movies that, well, sucked.
I wonder why I put myself thru watching these movies when there are a lot of movies I have that I could watch rather than these. but somehow, I still chose to watch these.

A couple of months ago, for some crazy reason, I chose to watch Lady in the Water and The Wicker Man one after the other. and it gave me a headache. A really awful one. Only today, while surfing leisurely at wikipedia, did I found out that both these movies are nominated for worst movie of last year. geez, I should have known better.

And to think that I should have learned my lesson, and yet, here I am watching Norbit, I thought a comedy will cheer me up a bit, but I gave up watching 20 minutes into the movie, and Primeval, which I'm still watching, out of boredom i guess and having a major headache again.

or maybe the headache's just from the flu I'm having...

I really gotta stop wasting my time watching awful movies... If the review is bad, skip it.
