I feel like a hero
And you are my heroine
Do you know that your love
Is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turn me around

And I feel like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

reflection

Over the weekend I found out that someone I knew in high school had passed away. Jon was a passenger of car that crashed in the early hours of the morning from what police say are an alcohol related accident. From what I can piece together from the newspaper articles, he died in hospital a few days after the accident.

Sometimes I read the newspaper online at work during breaks. I always click on articles that say 'accidents' and at the end of each article I have a tendency to shake my head and think 'aiya this is terrible'. Early last week I read about a crash that happened around town but names were never released so I didn't think much of it. This morning when I logged into FB a link caught my attention - it was a page regarding Jon's funeral. I clicked on it and read the details with mute silence. There was an attached e-newspaper link. It was from a different newspaper but the news was the same.


I met Jon in high school on the badminton team. He was this fun guy who loved to play and never ran out of energy. After I graduated I never kept in touch with him - he was just one of those people you meet who come and go in your life. We ended up finding each other on FB a few years later. I didn't know Jon very well but for what I do know of him, he was this exuberant young guy whose life had ended far too soon.

Jon T, Rest In Peace.

Roger Federer is going to be a daddy! I've loved watching Federer play over the years and screaming his name in front of the tv, but I'm genuinely happy that he's going to be a father :)

this is my corner

So after a bit of a hiatus I've decided to allocate some closet space in the world wide web to write (about mainly random) things.
