TAKE A BOW
It has been a great 2 years and 9 months of blogging. I have met very good friends over the blogs of whom I will forever cherish.
I guess many of you would miss the off-the-cuff writing style as mentioned by a reader (I just speak my mind), pictures that I took (especially the food pics! I know!), my dysfunctional family and of course, my very weird friends and bizarre dates.
All good things have to come to an end one day. I am afraid today would be the day.
So, with this 467th post, I bid all of you adieu. I hope life is good to you as it has been good to me.
I have always love Madonna's songs. Especially this one, Take A Bow.
Take a bow, the night is over
This masquerade is getting older
Lights are low, the curtains down
There's no one here
[There's no one here, there's no one in the crowd]
Say your lines but do you feel them
Do you mean what you say when there's no one around [no one around]
Watching you, watching me, one lonely star
[One lonely star you don't know who you are]
Chorus:
I've always been in love with you [always with you]
I guess you've always known it's true [you know it's true]
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Make them laugh, it comes so easy
When you get to the part
Where you're breaking my heart [breaking my heart]
Hide behind your smile, all the world loves a clown
[Just make 'em smile the whole world loves a clown]
Wish you well, I cannot stay
You deserve an award for the role that you played [role that you played]
No more masquerade, you're one lonely star
[One lonely star and you don't know who you are]
(chorus, repeat)
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
All the world is a stage [world is a stage]
And everyone has their part [has their part]
But how was I to know which way the story'd go
How was I to know you'd break
[You'd break, you'd break, you'd break]
You'd break my heart
I've always been in love with you
[I've always been in love with you]
Guess you've always known
You took my love for granted, why oh why
The show is over, say good-bye
Say good-bye [bye bye], say good-bye
Say good-bye

I’ve re-read your recent posts and I’m still clueless to your sudden departure from the ‘blogging world’.
Hope you could enlighten me.
Your blog has kept me entertained in the world of mundane rountines. I wish you all the best and take care.

Hmm… not like you leh. You don’t throw up something that you like to do out of the window just because of things happen for the past few weeks?
I make you a deal, you keep blogging ill start blogging again and talk cock on my blog. Your blog is always on my bookmark every time I change pc/notebook.
Don’t let something that happen, hinder your personal interest and spoil all your fun.
Keep on blogging.
