Please don’t let this turn into something it’s not
I can only give you everything I’ve got
I can’t be as sorry as you think I should
But I still love you more than anyone else could
All that I keep thinking throughout this whole fight
Is it could take my whole damn life to make this right
This splintered mast I’m holding on won’t save me long
Because I know fine well that what I did was wrong
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
The first kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I have ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
We have gone through so much worse than this before
What’s so different this time that you can’t ignore
You say it is much more than just my last mistake
And we should spend some time apart for both our sakes
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
The first kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I have ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
The last girl and the last reason to make this last for as long as I could
The first kiss and the first time that I felt connected to anything
The weight of water, the way you taught me to look past everything I have ever learned
The final word in the final sentence you ever uttered to me was love
And I don’t know where to look
My words just break and melt
Please just save me from this darkness
This post has been a month overdue, with the draft stated at October 2nd. Many things have happened in the interlude, but I’ve finally managed to dig out some free time to get this entry up.
This post also gives me an excellent opportunity to work on SEO ; ) … so in actual fact the timing of the post has been great.
===== Written a month ago =====
It has been a whirlwind month, starting a new job and getting another set of exams out of the way.
In all honesty, I had never envisaged myself at where I am 9 months ago. It was a time of relaxation after non-stop working since my O’Levels. A time to seek a new direction on whether to try to revitalize my websites, or simply concentrate on graduating and then seeking out a new career path altogether. Of course, along the way, many things happened that twisted my direction left and right.
==========================
It seems I was destined to return to what I do best, to where I made my mini fortune. When an opportunity comes knocking, you stop and ponder, weigh up the pros and cons, then take a gamble. A gamble on one’s career might not seem exactly like the best bet, but this was an unique opportunity to partake in probably what will revolutionize the tyre industry in Singapore. An impact as monumental as an earthquake? Not exactly an impossible task considering what the company set out to achieve.
Monetary-wise, it might not be financially rewarding as a job in the sales or banking industry, but enough for me not to starve. Is a corporate life of shirts & ties exactly the kind of lifestyle I would drag myself off the bed everyday for? With political survival and steadfast backstabbing a daily staple? Personally, I never liked the rigidness that many corporates have, and as glamorous as many of them might sound, the reality is that the backroom is not all that flash. The right mix of control and flexibility, I believe is key to getting the best out of employees.
Even though it means having to do a lot of the little things personally, I’m actually cool with it, for the the knowledge that I can learn lots more from such an experience would stand me in good stead, learning the tools of the trade would provide me with an edge when I do eventually set up my own company one day. Opportunities to visit the likes of eBay are also an eye-opener, damn what of Google?
What I can safely say is that I am definitely enjoying my job, and even though it takes over an hour just to get to work, I am actually motivated to get there (though the rainy days are tempting me to sleep in more). I have always been in the belief that one should take up a job more for the interest, and to do something they like, rather than taking monetary rewards as priority. My belief has so far been proven right, and in terms of enjoying your job as you go along, it also means you are motivated to work harder and excel in it.

Google has celebrated its 10th birthday, which just about brings me to see the very sites that I started off with. In chronological order as much as I can remember.
Linus Koh’s Home Page (1997) - The very first pages I started off with, hosted on the free personal web of Singnet. jopaloli actually stands for the first two initial of the names of my family members.
Kool Kids Award Recipients (1997) - Not even an archived page, because amazingly it still exists! Which kid wouldn’t love having a cool trophy award to display on his/her website? Yeah it was cool then!
MUFC Swap (1999) - A banner swap involving MUFC websites.
topMUFC (1999) - A joint collaboration with an Australian to launch a list of the top MUFC websites at that point of time.
Red Haven old Red Haven (1999) - My Manchester United website that slowly evolved to get its own domain. Domains were expensive at that time!
SoccerFlash (2000) - A largely successful news website, up till the point where legal issues arose.
let it go,
let it roll right off your shoulder
don’t you know
the hardest part is over
let it in,
let your clarity define you
in the end
we will only just remember how it feels
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
let it slide,
let your troubles fall behind you
let it shine
until you feel it all around you
and i don’t mind
if it’s me you need to turn to
we?ll get by,
it’s the heart that really matters in the end
our lives are made
in these small hours
these little wonders,
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away,
but these small hours,
these small hours still remain
all of my regret
will wash away some how
but i can not forget
the way i feel right now
in these small hours
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away but these small hours
these small hours, still remain,
still remain
these little wonders
these twists & turns of fate
time falls away
but these small hours
these little wonders still remain
