I have finally finished the day, the week, the year, my time here at work. Woooohooo! Had a lovely farewell lunch with my team mates and boss (who paid for my meal ;)) and am now heading off to a relaxing 1 hour remedial massage before going to hiphop class tonight, and then having some yummy japanese at Ramen Kan for dinner afterwards with a few friends to celebrate. Ah life is tough. 😛

Anyway. Am deciding whether to go to the gym tonight or not? Decisions decisions…. I’m not feeling too bad actually, coughing a little, but I’m not that sick. I am a bit tired though as I slept late last nite and Sun night. Hrmm. Ok. I think I will go. Body Balance class will be good for me…. I need to stretch out these muscles.. esp my shoulders and neck.. ugh. And the steam/sauna room will be soooo goooood. 🙂

Posted in Uncategorized (Old Blog) | 5 Comments » TweetWe walked the earth
We talked and never spoke a word
She wonders who will be the first to go
I said you know
The biggest things we gotta face alone
Don’t wanna when it’s time to go
Alone
Alone again
A trace of me
That floats in my periphery
And every time I turn to see
It goes
Alone
Alone again
Floating by like a satellite
To pass the time
You’ll float by again
And I can tell you about the little things
So you don’t think about the big things for a while
We walked the earth
We talked and never spoke a word
She wonders who will be the first to go
Alone
Alone again
Alone
Alone again

Posted in Uncategorized (Old Blog) | 1 Comment » TweetI think I think too much. Hrm. And I used to think that thinking a lot about things was a good thing… but now I’m thinking that maybe thinking too much is not such a good thing all the time. Er.. make sense?
Or maybe it just depends on *what* I think about. I suppose it’s unhelpful to frequently ruminate on the negative aspects of your life… you dwell on these things and you end up spiralling down into this depressive cycle. And listening to depressive music doesn’t help either. Neither does dreaming depressing things, but I guess you can’t really help that. I was reading this website on depression, and the link between depression and sleep/dreams, and that perhaps medication wasn’t the answer.. it was interesting – (I’ve always found psychological matters interesting). Clicky here to check it out… and can any psychologists tell me if what they’re saying is valid or total crap? (Erm not saying that I have “clinical” depression or anything, but I do know people that do.. I wonder if this would be helpful for them?)
Anyway.. so how does one stop negative thoughts from over-running their mind, and prevent themselves from going into that depressive cycle? Is it as simple as “getting over yourself” and ceasing being so “selfish” and “self-centred”.. to look around and not be so inward focused? Or is there more to it…. is it not right that someone gets easily triggered into feeling depressed due to feelings of loneliness / feel they are lacking friends? Should that person just learn to become more “independant” and not rely so much on others to fulfill that need for companionship? How much is too much reliance? And then… where does God fit into this picture? Does God really solve all these problems? Does it mean you’re not trusting God enough? Is that really where the core of the problem lies? Or is it more complicated than that?
Um.. I’m starting to lose my train of thought. I think this calls for a –

I think I need to stop being so honest on my blog. And I think I need to stop thinking so much. 😛

In other news. Ben Folds absolutely ROCKS! I bought his new album (which I’m really loving!) and found a few rare B Sides on mp3. My new fave songs of his are:
Heheh err ok thats a lot. I admit it… I’m in a huge Ben Folds music phase at the moment. I’ve even been (attempting to) play some of his stuff on piano. Man its friggin hard. But fun! I’ve kinda succesfully managed to play “Army” – but those triplets are soooo fast. My left hand seriously cannot keep up. And as for Zak and Sara.. forget it!! Emaline is getting there though.. I quite enjoy playing that one.. it’s a great song! Hm I should go find some more tabs/charts.. I wanna learn to play Where’s Summer B… and One Angry Dwarf.. and more!

Posted in Uncategorized (Old Blog) | 2 Comments » TweetAt least one of us had the sense to bring a camera to the Ben Folds gig. Many thanks to Janet for these pics. (ARGH I’m still kicking myself over not thinking to bring my digicam… oh the videos I could have captured!!! *sob* See the photos and you’ll understand my anguish.) Note that these pics were taken with the good old fashioned film camera – no zoom!! We were *that* close!
And as usual dear old benny lived up to his usual antics of playing choir master with the crowd. Whilst standing on top of the grand Steinway & Sons piano, I might add.
A couple more pics can be found in my gallery.
Oh and a special treat for any Ben Folds fans. Someone has kindly uploaded mp3 bootlegs from the Enmore gig on Sat night (I was at the Fri night one). Clicky here to download. If this link goes dead, I’ll upload a select few myself. 🙂 You have to check out his Dr Dre cover “Bitches Aint Shit” and “Popcorn”. Classic!
