today marks the second last day i will spend in london and there is a certain sense of closure as i prepare to return to switzerland where i will see nary a singaporean for the next 7 months; this vacation has been absolutely brilliant, meeting and talking to people who are on the same wavelength as you does a person a world of good where he has been silent for the past four months and it is here where i would like to thank calvin, kai, shujun, yip, justin, ailin, louis and enqi for helping me out with so much during my stay here. one can friendly and helpful, but the above mentioned few have been so utterly generous that words cannot quite describe them, and it is here on one of the few times in my life where words have completely failed me.

today i met up with jocelyne and there has been much laughter and embarassment as we talked over a splendid meal at this belgian cafe called biero; we missed 2 168s, took photos, and i generally screamed when i heard she was going for her second muse concert in wembley; some things, like semi colons, never change and much solace can be sought in that. so ms wu, here's to more shopping and dining in august later in the year, eight months from now.

it is seven am now, i am spamming the eagles as i never had before and somehow there's much truth in the tune that they sing.

Its another tequila sunrise
Starin slowly cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Evry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And shes out runnin round

She wasnt just another woman
And I couldnt keep from comin on
Its been so long
Oh, and its a hollow feelin when
It comes down to dealin friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
Its another tequila sunrise,this old world
Still looks the same,
Another frame, mm.
