stuff i forgot to mention

the haze was bad last saturday. not pretty bad or quite bad. it was VERY VERY VERY bad. the psi went up so high. i never remembered it ever being this high before. the smoke everywhere. it was like being up on a mountain, except that mist on a mountain doesn't smell quite as bad. i was surprised when i came out of LT3 on a hill. everywhere else was misty. wondering what had happened. but it was the haze. last saturday, fonz's dad gave us a lift back from church cos it was way too bad to be walking around unprotected in it. it's times like these, the church needs to get air-con. and you know what? even in the midst of all that smoke, people are still smoking! i feel like modifying ty's method of saying "lung cancer" very loudly at them. modify to say, "wah, the haze VERY bad today ah...a lot of smoke in the air." can't understand them. what for still need to smoke? got free smoke in the air liao. ;D

last sunday was fr khoo's 66th bdae dinner. he gave choir a table. it was ok. the haze had cleared for that night. thank god. can you imagine sitting in the smoke trying to eat? downright unhealthy. anyway, the dinner...was kinda routine lah. the band was not bad. the singing was passable. reminded me a little of reso. that ang moh girl was the only really enthu one of the set. there were auctions held, largely by fr paul auctioning off wines. there was also auction of 3D2N stay with fr paul at pandan gardens. haha! the winning bid was $1000. not bad. some KARAOKE QUEENS got up to sing cantonese songs. fr khoo tried to sing "pass it on". it was horrific. click HERE to watch it if you dare. (the quality's VERY bad. hp wasn't very powerful.) ruben got up to sing the birthday song. nice voice he has, for a kid, like his sister.

and to end off, i managed to get hold of clay's 'bonus' itunes song LOVER ALL ALONE. the lyrics are so sad. apparently clay wrote (or co-wrote) the lyrics. i really wonder what happened that inspired him to write these lyrics:

Maybe I've convinced myself I've really been in love
And I've been wrong
All along
For all I know the feeling and the picture that I tried so hard to find isn't mine
Could be it's all just a waiting game
Wanna share my everything

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it'll be alright
That this love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be, it's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone
Without love

Picking up the pieces makes me wonder if I only build it all
To watch it fall
The faster it can go away it means the less of me is gone to stay
And I'm okay
But lonesome
Tomorrow comes anyway
I'm alone for another day
Another day

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it'll be alright
That this love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be, it's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone
Without love

And on my own
It's hard to tell my heart it'll be alright
That this love it holds will one day find a home
As hard as love can be, it's harder still it seems
To be a lover all alone
Without love

Maybe I've convinced myself I've really been in love
But I've been wrong
All along.
