Picks from House M.D.

After finishing 4 seasons of House M.D. (just yesterday), i went and look for the OST but found only 2 seasons (1 & 2) OSTs. Some of the more meaningful or more recognized songs which i liked are as below :

A strange song by Amos Lee - Colors.

Yesterday I got lost in the circus
Feeling like such a mess
Now I'm down I'm just hanging on the corner
I can't help but reminisce

When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No the years they parade
When you're gone
Colors seem to fade

Your mama called, she said
That you're downstairs crying
Feeling like such a mess
And yeah I hear ya
yeah in the background bawling
What happened to your sweet summer time dress

I know it all
We all got our faults
We get locked in our voids
And make mistakes

When you're gone
All the colors fade
When you're gone
No the years they parade
When you're gone
Colors seem to fade
Colors seem to fade
Another strange in a similar way, Bird York - In the deep

Thought you had
all the answers
to rest your heart upon.
But something happens,
don't see it coming, now
you can't stop yourself.
Now you're out there swimming...
In the deep.
In the deep.

Life keeps tumbling your heart in circles
till you... Let go.
Till you shed your pride, and you climb to heaven,
and you throw yourself off.
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

And now you're out there spinning...
And now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the silence,
all your secrets, will
raise their worried heads.
Well, you can pin yourself back together,
to who you thought you were.
Now you're out there livin'...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.

In the deep...

Now you're out there spinning...
Now you're out there swimming...
Now you're out there spinning...
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep.
In the deep...
The Rolling Stones - You can't always get what you want

I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need

Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...

And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...
Ryan Adams - Desire

Two hearts fading, like a flower.
And all this waiting, for the power.
For some answer, to this fire.
Sinking slowly. The wateras higher.
Desire

With no secrets. No obsession.
This time I'm speeding with no direction.
Without a reason. What is this fire?
Burning slowly. My one and only.
Desire

You know me. You don't mind waiting.
You just can't show me, but God I'm praying,
That you'll find me, and that you'll see me,
That you run and never tire.
Desire

Recap of 2008

Lame way to do this but its the format that stuck to my head @ 2.30am after i returned from a drinking session with some friends

January
Full of hope in the new year to have a new scope of work and hopefully be involved in a big project.

February
Not a really good CNY, perhaps that is the beginning of my bad luck for the year

March
The project doesn't seem to be doing so well anymore BUT another project arise and more hope arises
Leaked information about promotion candidates whereby yours truly is expected to be one of those to be promoted

April
Officially received promotion letter on April Fool's Day which was backdated to January.
Received retrospective pay increment and dumped all into paying credit card debts.

May
News of a 'higher power ' (aka Management) are taking matters into their own hands for the project which im involved in and is the complete opposite of what was evaluated by the User and Technical Team

June
Closing of the FY for my company and the project is really something which i have no eyes to see anymore.

July
Decision made by Management on the project is firm and there goes my hope, job hunting begins again.
Have to used a stupid system to clock in what i do, i don't even fucking have a project, how am i supposed to record down what i do???

August
Again not a really happy birthday + a bitter goodbye

September
Speculation and sadness about how much would be announced by the Management on bonus payout. Lowest in all my 5 years in the company.

October
Company stock prices halved compared to its prices in January. Sayonara to the remaining options given to me by the company which will expire in June 2009.

November
Several drinking sessions which did its job of whisking away my mind from my miserable life.
Missed several relative's weddings on purpose to not want to explain of my singleness.

December
An array of weddings, 2 of which have already blocked my calender since last year :p Frankly speaking, i wouldn't miss it for the world!
Went to both and it was a BANG! Congratulations and may you have happiness forever together!

Summary :

1) Alcohol does not really KO me, it just FUCKING mess up my body clock. KO-ed to sleep at 2-3am only to wake up at 5-7am and never able to continue sleep.

2) Made many superb friends via online games, went to 1 of their wedding dinner but missed out on being a fun heng dai :(

3) First taste of being 5 digits for credit card debts. It was all down to my own stupidity, very expensive lesson learned.

4) One cannot drink away sadness/loneliness, one cannot afford to buy companionship long enough to get through the night BUT one is very lucky to have many good friends.

5) Least sleep time in a year.

6) Most alcohol consumed in a year ever.

Goodbye my preciousssssssssssss......................

After years of being with me, i have to say goodbye to my precioussssssssss. Why are they preciousssssssssss? Its not really the monetary value amount they carry but more to their serial number. Notes carrying serial numbers with repetition of "8"s are of particular interest for me to collect them. Just as The-One-Ring was precioussssssssssss to Gollum and its other owners, its with a heavy heart and very unwilling feeling to be apart from them.


Where are they going? To my account for about a few days and show up as an increase of balance to my current account. That amount will then begone from my account :(

What is it for? For hope, hope that i can resolve 1 of the items in my wishlist but it seems unlikely to be resolved by the timeline which i set T_T

Goodbye my preciousssssssssssss......................

Glasses

I can't live with them and i can't live without them.

Without them i can see beyond 10m clearly, something i dearly miss. Having 20/20 vision for more than 20 years, i really could not adapt to having my vision reduced to just a few meters. Not only am i limited to that, i have to look through 2 pieces of small lenses 2 inch by 1 inch.

Strangely though my diagnosis by the optician was just around 75-100 of short-sightedness and astigmatism. So this really does not explain why my vision have deteriorated so much T_T

Even with glasses i still need to get to a very close distance to clearly read road signs, was my sight's diagnosis wrong? This have bothered my driving quite a fair bit as i lost my confidence in driving properly.

Sigh im really not used this. Ever since i worn the glasses, i feel that my range of clear sight is reduced even more. Perhaps this is why people who wear glasses will almost never have their power reduced or reversed back to the way it was.

I used to be very proud to have perfect vision and can see so many things so clearly. I could spot something far away and proudly exclaim that i found it while everyone else (who wore glasses) were looking high and low for it.

The weight of the glasses are already leaving its mark on my nose :( Too bad im not a fan of contact lenses, the idea of having my fingers wriggling and touching my eyeballs gives me the chill.
