Baby boy arrived..

Sze Ting gave birth to a baby boy :) last Thursday! Ohhh, first baby of all my friends. I'm anxious to see him, I love babies. I want to have some of my own soon, I've been wanting to have them for some time now. Meantime, my other cousin has also given birth to her 3rd baby boy last week. And my uncle (my mum's youngest sister's son) is already 6 months old. It's amazing how quick babies transformed from just a big chunk of flesh that only cries and sleep into little adorable things that now reacts to your laughters and actions.

The night job...

someone asked me why I'm having a night job... he asked if I'm doing this free lance thing for money or hobby? I said money, but it started out as a hobby. I started doing free lance because it was a channel to start growing my own network here and to engage in something that I can get excited about. Also becuase the free lance thing started before the day job came along. But it is damn hard when you have a day job.

If the day job and night job was different, it will probably be easier to keep the attention span. But doing the same thing at work and then coming home and doing almost the same thing for a different reason... no matter how exciting it can be... can seem very uninteresting, tiring and monotanous. I see my social life slipping away very quickly. At this point, I think the office lunch outing is the only social event I have right now. Something does not seem right in this scenario but it still feels right to keep going....

Tabaco y Chanel

Have you heard of this song? Doesn't it sound beautiful :) although I really don't know what it means. Paito used to translate all these spanish songs we hear in bars or clubs in Colombia- and it always sounds romantic because she's really good. I am a romantic freak so naturally I would love spanish music. Can someone translate this for me please...

Un olor a Tabaco y Chanel
me recuerda el olor de su piel
una mezcla de miel y café
me recuerda el sabor de sus besos

El color del final de la noche
me pregunta donde fui a parar,
donde estas?
que esto solo se vive una vez
donde fuiste a parar? donde estas?

Un olor a Tabaco y Chanel
y una mezcla de miel y café
me preguntan por ella,
me preguntan tambien las estrellas
me reclaman que vuelva por ella
ay, que vuelva por ella

no se olvida, no se va, no se olvida
no se va, no se olvida

una rosa que no florecio
pero que el tiempo no la marchita
una flor prometida, un amor que no fue
pero que sigue viva

y otra vez el color del final,
del final de la noche
me pregunta donde fui a parar
que esto solo se vive una vez
donde fuiste a parar? donde estas?

Un olor a Tabaco y Chanel
y una mezcla de miel y café
me preguntan por ella,
me preguntan tambien las estrellas
me reclaman que vuelva por ella
ay, que vuelva por ella

Pero fueron las misma estrellas que un dia
marcaron mis manos
y apartaron la flor, esa flor de mi vida
de mi vida...

no se olvida, no se va, no se olvida
no se va, no se olvida
