Time for the monthly bulletin


Johnny Hates Jazz - Turn Back The Clock

Another day is ended
And I still can't sleep
Remembering my yesterdays
I begin to weep
If I could have it over
Live my life again
I wouldn't change a single day
I wish that I could turn back the clock
Bring the wheels of time to a stop
Back to the days when life was so much better
...
Don't let the memories slip away

Lazy Sunday afternoon reminiscing about the past.

July had gone past slowly. A month of change. At the workplace, in another city, another house (albeit my own). Had 2 10 year JC reunions which wasn't as spectacular as I would have hoped but at least there were faces that I have frozen in my memories for the past 10 years.

Shanghai friends have come and gone, with a few more to expect in the month of August. Through them, I have made several new friends that now my social activity revolves around. I am finally exercising, where even painful plantar fasciitis have done little to discouraged me. Drinking less, smoked a grand total of 2 cigarettes for the whole month and just a few kopi-Os.

I still literally dream of the people and activities in Shanghai, especially...
seems really cruel to be put out of a misery only to start feeling miserable! Only that I'm not relying on anything but my own devices to get through.. no alcohol, nicotine or caffeine.. weird ah?

Time to engineer a move back... however, there's just too much to lose now. Practicality over sentiments. I must be resolute. Anyhow, looking forward to October, when I can finally take leave :)
