So Many Things / A Short Book Review

So Many Things

There are so many things
I want to do but only with you
like watching the sea
so much time to kill.

There are so many things
we can be but only with you
I am everything
only in your view.

P.S.: Written in a half-drunk bout. Well, at least it has a rhyme scheme.

Currently reading "The Philip Yeo Story - Neither Civil Nor Servant". Now, where should I start? He is very focused on what he wants to do: creating jobs, by bringing in foreign investment with what I call "one-stop" industrial parks (Jurong Island and Batam are two good examples), and grooming local talents (him and his famous EDB, and more lately, the A*star scholarships - I know it, sex appeal sells! If you have seen his advertisement using a FHM model!). He is free-spirited, a law-breaker to get things done. And definitely not a typical local civil servant. He is just not civil enough. And a servant to our country he is, the way he always has his countrymen's interest in his heart.
