Life in SG - Random Railway Theme II

Patience is the ability to idle your motor when you feel like stripping your gears.

'Patience is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties.' Quote from wiki

1,2,1,2,3,4[whistle]

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you

I'm still alright to smile

Girl, I think about you every day now

Was a time when I wasn't sure

But you set my mind at ease

There is no doubt

You're in my heart now

---

Said, woman, take it slow

It'll work itself out fine

All we need is just a little patience

Said, sugar, make it slow

And we come together fine

All we need is just a little patience

(patience)

Mm, yeah

---

I sit here on the stairs

'Cause I'd rather be alone

If I can't have you right now

I'll wait, dear

Sometimes I get so tense

But I can't speed up the time

But you know, love

There's one more thing to consider

---

Said, woman, take it slow

And things will be just fine

You and I'll just use a little patience

Said, sugar, take the time

'Cause the lights are shining bright

You and I've got what it takes

To make it, We won't fake it,

I'll never break it

'cause I can't take it

---

[whistle]

...little patience, mm yeah, mm yeah

need a little patience, yeah

just a little patience, yeah

some more patience, yeah

need some patience, yeah

could use some patience, yeah

gotta have some patience, yeah

all it takes is patience,

just a little patienceis all you need

I BEEN WALKIN' THE STREETS AT NIGHT

JUST TRYIN' TO GET IT RIGHT

HARD TO SEE WITH SO MANY AROUND

YOU KNOW I DON'T LIKE

BEING STUCK IN THE CROWD

AND THE STREETS DON'T CHANGE

BUT BABY THE NAME

I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR THE GAME

'CAUSE I NEED YOU

YEAH, YEAH, BUT I NEED YOU

OO, I NEED YOU

WHOA, I NEED YOU

OO, ALL THIS TIME **(ah)

Life in SG - Random Railway Theme

Looked out for the 'chu chu' train under a cloudy Saturday morning;
A quiet place with a lonely track...and a lonely soul waiting.....



Heard that it passby three to four times daily;
The sun, finally came out from hiding behind the cloud;
Who knows, when will he come...

Theodore

Let me present the little cute cute Theodore :)

Did a short shootout, was so fun and enjoyable...





Moody Theodore want mommy hughug...

Life in SG - Halloween 2009

An ominous presence lurks in the air.....


Be warned.....










Zombies...



Ghost...



All were heading to one destination......…to seek vengeance upon the world they live to hate...

When hell breaks loose... deafening sirens, wails from the fallen, shackles strewn about, scurrying footsteps and unknown beats echo through the dark, grimy execution halls as Villainville’s two most feared executioners hold fort. So whose side are you on? Those on sentry duty or those on death row… the hunted or the hunters… choose at your own peril…




Welcome to the Halloween party......

Last year I spend my halloween night in HK with Din & Virgina..... I told myself not to miss Singapore Halloween 2009....

This year I spend the wonderful night with Albert and few zombie friends....hahahha. Here come some of the 'Halloween' photos.









Take a look @ the makeup, it was so real... welldone Onz.




More 'ghost' reinforcement coming in while time was ticking closer to the midnight....









The battle of good & evil began....... lolx

Later in the night, I saw many 'merlion' as well.... hope they were ok and have fun.
