love is on the way - saigon kick

love is on the way - saigon kick

lonely sidewalks, silent night
bring the evening, deep inside
hold me darlin, touch me now
let the feeling, free tonight

time of season, wipes the tears
no rhyme or reason, no more fears
all the dreaming, far behind
you are here now, everything's alright

and in the morning i'll be gone away
all the things i left behind
if you need me i'll come night or day
lets stop the hands of time

finally....

Finally.. my first post.... too bad i am not in a good mood.
I had just finished my 'end-of-month' jobs and ready to go home. I read an email this afternoon saying that there will be 'a set of standard policies of Internet & Email usage'. oooougghghh... what a stiff workplace. I can already imagine what's in it. I think it means I can not visit 'fun' sites anymore... just work and more work.. :(
What about emails.. ?? well, I guess I'll read it tomorrow..

I miss my family... especially my son... (don't worry honey, i miss u 2)
I hope this wouldn't be my last post.
