Did We Become Lazy?

Sigh. What is it? =(

Greetings from Koh Samui

Malaysian timing wise, it's Jeremy and Fariz's birthday today, so a happy happy birthday to them both!

So this was where you were, some things will always be good memories no matter how long time has passed or how much things have changed.

It's relatively safe here despite all that's going on in the mainstream media. But 7-11 still shuts by 10pm, and I am not about to wake up at 5am to check if that's when they resume business.

Our boat has yet to arrive, I hope the delivery crew is safe and that nothing bad has happened to them, though it may just as well be a case of lousy planning and time management.

Listening to Am I Wrong is oddly making me miss Fuel.. 

Keep Calm

Am I Wrong - Nico & Vinz

Just take a moment to listen.

I hope you like the song as much as I do. I am pretty sure it's this tune that I've been hearing at Fuel. But because workouts are so intense, I only remember the tune, never the lyrics. Combine both though, two thumbs up.

Next, inner thoughts out loud:

Why are we always so critical of others but never of ourselves? I really want a pair of NB sneaks. And that Zaggora pants. Which reminds me that I should totally check out that free workout routine. And that I need to pack before I go to bed tonight. And thank goodness Day 1 went well, one more day to go! That's very nice of you. It's okay. Finally, I am getting it. Boo, maybe I am allergic to flowers, that sucks. I like my long hair. Should I pack light?

Had an awesome evening out with some of the awesomest yet randomest group of people. Yummy food, and drinks at VCR finally! So much good in all that. So much.

They say that after the storm, there'll be a rainbow. That somehow rings true. xx

When I See You Smile

When I See You Smile - Bad English

I like my tea with milk. And I reckon a man must have a toolbox filled with functional tools, just like my daddy's.

The day someone sings this song to you, you'll know you mean a lot to them. I shall wait for my turn.

Everything's alright!

Rekindle

I heard this once this morning. Liked it, but figured Taylor Swift is overrated. Then on my drive home from work, I heard it again, liked it. And so, overrated or not, here it is. =)

Red - Taylor Swift

And right after that, I heard this..

The Wrong Direction - Passenger

Like like like! :D

It's not that easy yo. xx

Rainy Saturday Morning

Not exactly my kind of morning. But as mentioned previously, not all days will go my way, and I must learn from these days.

Least I have the perfect soundtrack to go with it - I Need Romance 3 OST ftw. Thank you Ms Lim! xx

Samui on Friday woots woots! Let's get through the week before that. And when I'm back, I'll be so close to turning 26. :D

Sending love to all!

Because We All Knew It

But couldn't put a name to it.

Team - Lorde

Don't know what the lyrics mean. Too tired to digest. But today, perhaps it is the good kind of tired. Or maybe I am just not bothered.

Cut my hair short?? Can save on shampoo and conditioner.. xx

I Change My Mind

The following would totally suck:

a) If I fall sick when I get to Samui,
b) If I fall sick right after I'm done with orientation when I am to fly off to Samui,
c) If I fall sick between now and before I fly off to Samui,
d) If I fall sick now,
e) All the above.

Totally suck. Yucky yuck.

Already Home - A Great Big World

So sweet. If someone sings that to me, I might melt. I said might only okay!

I was just thinking, there's no such thing as a complete fit. A perfect fit. There isn't. People just learn to accept, or accommodate for the better. And for people who keep searching, well, good luck. I do mean myself, so don't be offended.

If this (strange) feeling continues to persists, I have a strong feeling it's not gonna be a pretty countdown no more. And I certainly won't like that. Boo.

Something needs to change, but what would it be?

Let's Go Ride A Hot Air Balloon

I feel kinda strange. Almost like I am sick. And I better not be. Because that would totally suck.

Am feeling kinda sad that I can't join the boys in Hong Kong now and in Korea later in June. Boo. I was just thinking how it works - I may feel disappointed and upset that because of work commitments, I am missing the opportunity to do certain events and by that I am forgoing my chances of participating in the Asian Games (sorta kinda). To me, of course that's a big deal. But to others, why would they care?

Guess it applies to every situation in life, and to you, to me, to my dog, to the person on the street, to the person at the other end of the world. Nobody really needs to know the implication of events in your life as long as it doesn't affect theirs.

I am making it sound like it's a bad thing but that's really not my point. The point I am trying to make is that, we live our lives wanting the best for ourselves, not for the person next to us. And that's a fact of life.

It does sound kinda bad after all hey..

Well, the takeaway from this would be that, as we live our lives the way we want it to be, as we do the things we do because we feel it is the right thing to do, let us not be discouraged when it doesn't turn out the way we expected it to be. So long we've done what we can. And if it was a bad decision, learn from it. If it helped someone else in the process, be happy that though you didn't get what you want, you helped someone else.

And if you did get what you want, be thankful. Be very thankful. Because there could've been so many other ways it could've gone wayward.

So today, for all the right and good that has taken place in my life, thank you Lord, and everyone of you who has played a part.

Nemo Bebo Bubo Boo!

Read this yesterday, but mommy and daddy took precedence. /love

Think it applies to friendship and all kinds of relationship, not just romantic ones. If a person wants to be there, they'll make time, they'll put in the effort, and they'll not be afraid to show it. It is that simple.

I want icecream. Green tea icecream. But no, I didn't work my ass off this morning to feed myself icecream. Good girl. /pats head

Samui is next week! I am excited, though the more excited I get, the more anxious I get because.. well because.

Chocolate - The 1975

How cute!

Matthew 11:28 says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." NIV

No one is ever gonna beat that. Ever. Me thinks.

To The Parents Who Made 3 Great Kids

Or at least my definition of great that is. Teehee!

Happy birthday daddy! 

And Happy Mother's Day mommy! 

xx

Thank you both, for all and more. =)

Them Boys Be Cute

What's Happening - B1A4

Ahh, I adore. xx

It's Friday After All

Though it won't be much of a weekend for me. Ohwells. Not complaining. xx

I vs The World

It felt like one of those days. I don't like what I see in the mirror. But I am reminded time and time again, that being able to feel (albeit negative emotions) that simply being able to breathe air, to say I love you to people who matter, to be alive, is such a blessing in itself.

Blessings - Laura Story

This is one of my most favourite songs. And I feel it's apt for sharing today. It's been a long day. A painful one. Tears were shed, patience was tested. Kindness was taken for granted, rotten attitudes and personality was out on a field trip, mine and others likewise.

Humans are not born perfect. Neither can we be no matter how hard we try. But it's important that we try anyway. And today, I know I fell short of trying.

Thank you for giving me the chance to know you, to work with you, to learn from you. I did not have the nicest of things to say before this, but please know that, I have never doubted that you were a good person, a good human being, and I trust that you've gone home to be with Jesus Christ in Heaven. It's been an honor to have known you, and an even greater honor to see how many lives you've touched.

I'll aspire to be more like you, in the best possible ways. Last but not least, thank you.

Hi

I've been well. I hope you've been alright too. xx

10,000 Reasons

10,000 Reasons - Matt Redman

[Chorus]

Bless the Lord, O my soul

O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me

Let me be singing when the evening comes

[Chorus]

Bless the Lord, O my soul

O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

You're rich in love, and You're slow to anger

Your name is great, and Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

[Chorus]

Bless the Lord, O my soul

O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore

[Chorus x2]

Bless the Lord, O my soul

O my soul

Worship His holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name

Lord, I'll worship Your holy name

Sing like never before

O my soul

I'll worship Your holy name

Jesus, I'll worship Your holy name

I'll worship Your holy name

Happy 1st of May

Over You - Ingrid Michaelson feat A Great Big World

Such a sweet (sad) tune. The weather outside now feels like it's appropriate to reminiscence and reflect upon life. And I once again realize, just how blessed I am.

Happy Labour Day to all! While most of us get to enjoy the day off, let us think about all those who work hard, the unsung heroes, the ones whom we often forget to say our thank you's to. To all who play a part, no matter how small or how big, in making the world go round, in making the world a better place.

A heartfelt thank you.
