City Of Angels - Angel

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance
For the break that will make it OK
There's always some reason to feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction or a beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line, and everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting, you keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference, escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness, oh this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the Angel far away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room, and the endlessness that you fear
You are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie
In the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the Angel; may you find some comfort here

In Memory

Bumped into my ex-colleague 2 weeks ago at Wheelock Place after dinner with hubby. Through our brief conversation, got to know her in law was sick. The very next day when I reached office, I sent her an email, sharing my own experience with the main intention of encouraging her to keep on going.

Did not expect a reply from her but not long after I sent out my email, received a response from her. She was surprised to know what had happened to my mum and even amazed at how I remained bubbly even though my mum has been sick for the past 3 years...

Last Saturday, we had prayers to commemorate mum's 100 days. Eldest sis stood beside me and was weeping through the prayers. Till today, she is still struggling to adjust her lifestyle after our parents left us. Well, at least she was fortunate enough that my parents were around to help her take care of her children, when she gave birth to her 2 sons 10 years ago. Gine and Gregory were not as lucky though...

Then, during the prayers, I was depressed that my parents were no longer with us, that Regine can no longer play with 'gong gong' and 'mama' (I can imagine how my dad will dote on her since she is the only granddaughter in the family), that I can no longer visit them every day after work, that I have no one to turn to when I have my down moments in life. Tears lined my eyes but an inner voice told me not to cry...

Memories of me holding my dad's hand flashed back in my mind. How I worried about his safety before he had his cataract operation (dad can't see at night then but was still driving, sometimes even without someone sitting beside him), how I held his hand and led him in the Vesak Day lights procession in Phor Kark See Temple (dad was so appreciative then and could remember how mum was so proud of me and went around telling all her friends and relatives about this filial daughter of hers. *grin*)...

Came back to office this week and have been trying to find a relevant video that was able to reflect my emotions. Just can't find the right one till yesterday when I came across the City of Angels mv - Angel by Sarah MCLACHLAN.

In my heart, I know that I can no longer hold my dad's hand nor touch him physically. All I wish is that I am in the arms of the ANGEL (my parents), and find some comfort here...

Sembawang's Home Funniest Video

Brought Regine to Gogobambini a few Sundays ago and here she is, at her own playscape back at home, underneath our dining table...

Guess she must be bored at home and tried entertaining herself. Catch her facial expression (sticking out her tongue) when she completed her tedious mission of going through the table (while Hubby was having his lunch) and how she keeps her posture low, waddling like a duck, trying to shun from the table.

Oops...ultimately, she still knocked her head against the table and there goes her wailing cries....(of course, Mummy Barney has to stop her video recording and concentrate on pacifying her!!!)
