Angel in Disguise

rarely would i chance upon a song that would lift my spirits up... this song came onto 987 morning am mayhem yesterday morning whilst i was preparing to go to work... strange that this song came on as the songs played in the mornings are usually the recent pop rock songs... i instinctively paid attention to the lyrics and felt a certain kind of something in my heart... something indescribably touching and nice... it was like the song was was meant for me to hear to remind me that all is not lost in my current weary life as i can seek comfort in knowing that an angel will always be around in the form of my friends and the good pple I meet... which is so true... work is so much crazy now but i'm thankful tt i have NY and gloria who accompanies me thru the late hours so i dont feel alone... there will also be little jo and serene's concern msn asking me to not stay late...

this is the 1st time i heard the song and there was no mention of the song title nor singer by the DJs after the song ended... though i'm not a fan of Corrinne May and have never listen to her songs much other than in those tvc promoting her album , i kinda took a stab in the dark by guessing that she was the singer... i hit the nail on the spot when i googled her name and found her webbie... this song was from her album way back in 2005! cool huh!



Angel in Disguise
I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed
and dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'

But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look at Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places,
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise
Everyday can be legendary
Every minute, an endless surprise
You could be the next angel in disguise

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.

Quotable Quotes from Desperate Housewvies

"Have you met the perfect couple? The two soul mates whose love never dies? The two lovers whose relationship is never threatened. The husband and wife who trust each other completely. If you haven't met the perfect couple, let me introduce you. They stand atop a layer of butter cream frosting. The secret of their success? Well, for starters, they don't have to look at each other."

"We've all done something in our lives we're ashamed of. Some of us have fallen for the wrong man. Some have let go of the right woman. There are those who have humiliated their parents and those who have failed their children. Yes, we've all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. But there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow."

"The vow is simple, really. Those who take it promise to stay together for better or for worse. For richer or for poorer. In sickness and in health. To honor and to cherish. Forsaking all others. Until death do us part. Yes, the vow is simple. Finding someone worthy of such a promise is the hard part. But if we can, that’s when we begin to live happily ever after."

This pig needs to get her hands burnt occassionally =p

haven't been catching grey's anatomy for sometime now... most of the time its cos of the timings it is shown on tv... managed to catch it today =) the stories always gets to me... i never fail to feel what the characters feel, esp their sadness, my heart usu feel their hurt too and i would tear... it's usu cos ultimately there would be a possibility of losing a loved one... at some point in my life, i had the same fear, no matter the difference in circumstances... i still have that fear but sometimes it takes a backseat and that's where i start taking things for granted again... yeah, it's not good and only when patience is wearing thin would i be jolted back into my senses but it would be a matter of time before i suffer a relapse =p

i need a good knock on the head. really.

Curry, curry and more curry *lol*

Fooling around with NY on which of our cam is better lol...

both lunch and dinner at Mr Curry heh... different sets of pple though :)

Countdown this new year with CK, QT, SF, XJ, SZ and PP... simple affair at Coffee Club Clarke Quay where we shared a bottle of white wine and dessert :) love the company! thanks for stories, jokes and laughter guys!

not a believer in new year resolutions... shouldn't we live each day as if it is our last? =)

took this when yf and me hung out on the bench outside Timbre to chat, free music wor kekeke

humoured me...

lights that set the mood :)

funnie could happen in SG too, no need to be in Japan ;)

Nice shao la :)

the time when i went wif Tee for the SSO Christmas concert

Wilbur in Japan? Not!

damn! spent a load again on Sat... can name it Splurge Saturday =p
bought a Miu Miu inspired dress inspired from its Spring 2008 runway show... but of cos the one i bought is not as short lah, wished that i could carry it off as much pizazz as the runway model lol but it can only be a dream :) actually the one i bought looks more like a vintage dress :) love the stripes as it gives a nautical feel...

by the way, love the shoes which the model is wearing above... here's the close-up :)
elegant and gorgeous :) so fairytale-like that if I could remake a Cinderella movie, this pair would definitely replace the boring glass slippers!
i love to own all things pretty, just makes me happy, not good though cos it's eating into my bank account =(
bought DKNY Delicious, 2 pairs of shoes and a pencil skirt in addition to the dress above... does qualify as a Splurge Sat rite? heh...

guess I needed to be happy to counter the unpleasantness at work... dont get me started lor... when one doesnt complain or whine means that one is damn fucking free, i throw in extra hrs at work to get MY things done and i would expect the same from others, so if i have to cover for someone who claims that she is busy but yet can choose to leave work on the dot, would u be fuming mad as well? fucking irresponsible... my weakness as so with the rest of pple whom i get get along is that we are all responsible that we suffer but we need to get the work done at the end of the day for a whole lots of reasons... cos we dont want our bosses to get into trouble with voldemort, no matter how bad the environment can be sometimes, we dont want other agencies or the public to say things bad about us cos we represent the dept and we take pride in our work...
there is a limit to how much i can tolerate... dont push it...
i will be fair to those who return the same fairness and i have definitely no respect or compassion to those who cant even own up to their mistakes or take responsibility for it...

anway, ate at this new place which is under the Waraku conglomerate, the decor is nice realli like those in Japan... they sell all things curry though =p

caught this toy soldier on me way back, just made me feel like being in toyland :)

Wilbur's Christmas Poem

A season of giving is what they say,
But if it's without sincerity, it isn't okay.
A priceless gift is one from the heart,
It can be anything, from a gesture to a card!

Of all the presents that I have received,
There's one I can't believe.
It's not the value nor the size,
But the lack of sincerity in the giver's eyes.

I rather not receive such gifts,
If it pains you so much just to give.
Truth and honesty is what Christ preach
It is your heart that you have breached.

Worthy I am not to receive Christ now,
As my heart is harsh to those senseless cows.
But pure evil I am not,
As they were in my prayers to God.

True to myself I need to be,
The same goes towards my friends and family.
Love and compassion resides in my heart,
For those lovable and sweet as peach tart :)

Christmas is a time to remember the birth of Christ,
He came to this world without asking a price.
It's a pity we all can't be like Him,
Else it will be a much nicer and simpler world to live in.

Christmas has so quickly passed,
Next comes the New Year which till Dec it will last.
I will seek to be good and nice,
To those deserving girls and guys!

Jo did an analysis of my character using the items in this blog title... must say its pretty accurate. :) btw, the 1st time a couple of us all got togther for drinks - cheryl, pauline, alicia, fiona, namchoon, kang wei, lisa, weizhen, jo, chao... i dont get high easily now though had gin, whisky and red wine...so din really hang lose at the dance floor, must be the fats absorbing all the alcohol before it reaches my puny brain =p

anyway, i really love dragon to bits for being so understanding, he doesnt get mad when i club, this is enough for me to know why i love being with him... it's a point where i dont even want to consider the options :) trust is a must in a relationship and we both get that although we dont usu spend much time together but that doesnt mean our love for each other is any lesser than before, in fact, i think i love him ever more so now... when we willingly give each other our own space, there is less friction, which is of course better and at the same time, we have more things to talk about since we interact with others and share our encounters and stories...
and the furious pig says to the deadly dragon:" know that everyday is valentine's as long as u r mine!" =)

got a msg from chao in the wee hrs saying that jo lost his wallet while we have having supper of gong bao frog porridge and beef hor fan at geylang... gosh, i realli hope some kind soul would pick the wallet and return it to him... the frustration and agony of losing a wallet is something i can relate to...

A rose by any other name would not smell as sweet! A couple of roses was laying on the main table in the function room of the year-end party :) took a stalk and snap a close-up of it.. goes to show that beauty lies within and sometimes these are the simple things in life which we fail to see and appreciate...

Miss RaRa & Pouty (yeah, gg for the cool look i.e not-showing-teeth-mona-lisa smile, but think it i failed miserably bleah =p)

The Jedi sisters using daiso brollies as their light sabre - recession mah, light sabre need electricity hahahhahaha (crap! think alcohol still in my system so sprouting corny jokes but then again it might just be me heh)

Then and Now...

kinda feel sad for the horseys... i couldnt realli bear to watch the race... inside, i was feeling sorrie for them cos it's not a life i would want... they are just treated as caged commodities... do they even experience being loved by their owners? once they outgrow their useful life, most just end up as dinner for the lions and tigers at the zoo, without any chance to enjoy their old age... is there fairness at all? yes, we humans are a cruel bunch, who made us God anyway to determine the fate of these animals... some might think i'm over-reacting here and being silly but i do feel for animals and when sadness is shown in their eyes, my heart weeps for there is nothing i can do as well... i'm sure if i ever witness the look of a chicken, cow or pig moments before they are being slaughtered, i could just die cos my heart would just bleed...

Fiona the biter and the cool F1 driver *chuckles*

yeah, decided to go for the no-teeth smile for the nite... hate my arms arrrgghhh, i've got auntie arms ... all i need now is a hanky sticking out of my pits! sheesh!
