Heh but before that, some colleagues and I popped over to the 2nd floor to visit our colleague who had just been shifted to a new department. Seeing how lonely he was, my colleague specially brought a bottle of red wine to disturb him at his new desk. Weird though, in that big quiet stressful office space, you have 4 people chillin out in a cubicle over some wine in day time. Oh wait....I don't think wine during office hours are allowed, so please....SHHHHHHHHHHHH.
I'm not a wine connesseiur and bad at their names, so don't ask
Wine and work....can mix. :D
Bottoms up!
A blessed year ahead for us all
Hello people-with-your-backs-facing-me!When we finally got down to the function room of the celebration buffet, it was already teeming with people man. Fortunately the lunch hasn't started. They were still playing some game. I realised I was seeing middle aged people playing....musical chair...oh well...tsk tsk. *shakes head*
The company's christian fellowship group had also prepared some carol songs and 'We Are The Reason' and sang infront of the company people...cool. :) But I guess some of the people's attention were already gone due to the hunger...
Lunches in low profile...eagerly awaited by everyone
Highlight of the day...mee siam, shepherd's pie and log cake!Yeah it was a good lunch. Didn't feel like working after that man. Felt sleepy....or rather...heavy headed. Err...think it was due to the red wine on empty stomache. But cool...great way to end the week.
*Burp*
-----------------------------------------
Ahhhh....my panasonic earphone has died! So the rumour about earphones suffocating after being stuffed into the ears for too long is true.
It had already been showing signs of giving up...inevitable I guess. :(
But I'll remember you Panny...the times when you drowned out the noises of the world around me, and helped to be a messenger of hope and peace.
Oh well...new earphones for the new year I guess.
-------------------------------------------
I think I finally understand what makes it feel like a long tiring stretch for me.
The death of hope.
After all the disappointments, drastic changes and loses in my life...I think I've forgotten what it feels like to feel hopeful once again....nor do I dare hope anymore. Too many a dreams and things that have shattered in my life I guess. No wonder the new year feels strangely quiet and uncertain for me.
Just how important is hope? Very it seems.
Without hope itself...what is there to look forward to in studying, working, serving or relating? Why bother if there's nothing to hope for?
Perhaps that's why He came and offered Himself, knowing how much we long for Hope.
A gift of hope.
What wouldn't you give to have it?
*Burp*

Imagine me without hope?
..imagine me without You then.

[Imagine Me Without You] - Jaci Velasquez
As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
'Til the end of time, forever
You're the only love I'll need
In my life, you're all that matters
In my eyes, the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me
When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you
Imagine me without you
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day
I'd be afraid without you there to see me through
Imagine me without you
Lord, you know it's just impossible
Because of you
It's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without you
When you caught me I was falling
Your love lifted me back on my feet
It was like you heard my calling
And you rushed to set me free
When I found you I was blessed
And I will never leave you
I need you
I can't imagine me without you
