It's the Chinese New Year again. Constrained by social norm, the mundane cycle of visiting relatives reoccurs with unerring precision yet again. First this relative, then another relative. It's great seeing you all, but seeing you just hours apart and having to wish you happy new year again, just takes the gloss out of me man. Seriously, if not for the ang paos, I'd killed myself after the first day. That said, back to another week at work! Yay...........

Wilson Phillips - You're In Love

Open the door and come in
I'm so glad to see you my friend
Don't know how long it has been
Having those feelings again.

And now I see that you're so happy
And ooh, it just sets me free
And I'd like to see
Us as good of friends
As we used to be

Aah, my love, Aah
You're in love
That's the way
It should be
'Cause I want you to be happy
You're in love
And I know
That you're not in love with me
Ooh it's enough
For me to know
That you're in love
Now I'll let you go
'Cause I know
That you're in love

Sometimes it's hard to believe
That you're never coming back to me
I've had this dream that you'd always be by my side
Oh I could have died.

But now I see that you're so happy
And ooh, it just sets me free.
And I'd like to see
Us as good of friends
As we used to be

I tried to find you but you were so far away
I was praying that fate would bring you back to me
Someday, someday, someday... Ooh, you're in love

Ooh it's enough
For me to know
That you're in love
Now I'll let you go
'Cause I know
That you're in love

-Because I miss you-

It's on days like this where I just wish I could hide away from the prying eyes of the world and get away from everything.

Cranberries - When You're Gone

Hold on to love,
that is what I do
Now that I've found you
And from above,
everything's stinking
When they're not around you

And in the night,
I could be helpless
I could be lonely,
sleeping without you
And in the day,
everything's complex
There's nothing simple,
when I'm not around you

But I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do, Hey Baby
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew, hey, Baby

Hold on to my hands
I feel I'm sinking,
sinking without you
And to my mind,
everything's stinking
Stinking without you

And in the night,
I could be helpless
I could be lonely,
sleeping without you
And in the day,
everything's complex
There's nothing simple,
when I'm not around you

And I miss you when you're gone
That is what I do, hey, Baby
And it's going to carry on
That is what I do, hey, Baby 
 

 Bangkok trip has been confirmed! Uber duber excited about it! 27^th Feb to the 2^nd March. 5 fun filled days of shopping and of course most importantly – fishing!

Some pictures to whet my appetite!

Bungsamran Fishing Park!

25kg Mekong Catfish!

Barramundi (aka Kim Bak Lor) Pond!

Normal Sized Barra Found In The Pond!

Are you gian to fish yet? I sure am!

Had another “fun-filled” week of work watching danio rerio mate again. Also, had a chance to watch the premiere screening of Sweeney Todd at Cathay this week. Wasn’t too bad actually, typical Tim Burton movie, nice and dark with lots of gore. KL trip got cancelled which was a real pity. Something else to look forward to though! Krabi/Bangkok fishing trip to fight Mekong Catfish, huge barras and omg pleeeeease let me catch an arapaima too pleeeeeease.

Off to settle my personal finances now. Toodles. Till the next time. I leave you now with something my boss told me whilst handing me work. “Different day, same shit.” I'm just loving it. Cheerios.  

Pray for my friend's dad who's in hospital.

Pray for my friend's dad who lost his job.

Finally, to all my brothers, thank you for always being there for me.
