lay your world on me

thomson plaza is indeed full house 2day. the car park was full and a long queue of cars stretched to the main road. the private estates along it were packed with parallel parked vehicles who came for their shopping.

it came to my knowledge by accident to discover just opposite of thomson plaza, a little small road that leads to a sin min estate, called bright hill. there, a multi-storey carpark with free sunday parking and was pretty empty. a short 5mins walk, across the overhead bridge, brought me to my shopping chore destination finally.

my shopping purchase for the day:-
1) macworld september from popular bookstore. i am trying to locate the hard to find quicken 2007 for mac. i'm gonna do a major switch to a intel mac real soon, to bid farewell to the pc world for good. i made a couple of phone calls and most shops dont carry this personal financial software. hence i skipped funan / sim lim square and buy my magazine from the chinese bookstore.
2) a manuscript book with boxes for accounting. since quicken rpoves tough to find, and thru amazon.com i'll have to0 pay close to $160, i thought i go caveman and use manaul inputs and calculations for my personal finances than a software. i love mircosoft money. but i'll be transfering my laptop to my nephews, so without quicken or m/s money, i'll be trying via manual calculations.
3) a soldering iron and a solder set. $30 .... ok so it's made in japan. but all i need a quick work on my guitar for my game. i last used a soldering iron in 1993. that was my job after the army as an engineering assistance. wonder what will i be doing if i am not in my present job? and i wonder what i'll be doing if i quit my preent job. without this job i'll be financially burden, and that's not to say this job pays well. it felt it pays us shit, underpaid with heavy responsibility.

and finally my guitar explorer is repaired. i can use that whammy bar again for resonnace.

and a song dedicated to my wife, elaine ....

i know u think you're all alone / i haven't been there when u needed me / i didn't deserve the love u gave / but now telling u i'm here if u need a friend

give me your pain / give me your anger / let me be your rock / i can be the pillar of strength that you need / i'll help u keep it all together / it's better late than never / lay your world on me / i can take the weight

don't let it twist u up inside / time never fails to make the heartache stop / you've got to let those feelings go / i'll give u everything i can if u say the word

give me your pain / give me your anger / let me be your rock / i can be the pillar of strength that you need / i'll help u keep it all together / it's better late than never / lay your world on me / i can take the weight

we all laugh and we all cry / we all hurt the same inside / we all fall down and we lose faith in who we really are / but if we can bend inside of break / the choice for us is to make it together / lay your world on me

i'll keep it all together / it's better late than never / lay your world on me / lay your world on me / lay your world on me / i can take the weight
