Cause You're A Sky

A Sky Full of Stars - Coldplay

I wonder if every time Let Me Take A Selfie gets played at a club, will people actually whip out their phones to take selfies? As annoying and brainless this song is, and as much as I hate to admit it, I did deliberately turn up the volume on my drive home when it was playing on the radio.

每当我听到 小情歌 心里终会想念 "菜笨伟" - 希望你还好好的啦 朋友！

I don't have a favourite song, I don't remember half the songs I've shared here, but if I had to pick, the one song that will definitely make me smile no matter what, it's definitely I'm Yours.

You and I - I like the song, but decided I didn't like all that much after I found out it was One Direction who sang it. In general, I'm neutral when it comes to Hollywood stars (I can't say the same for Asian artists) but something about One Direction irks me.

Have you heard the Mi Mi Mi song? Oh my gosh.

I have some serious Teh Tarik craving right about now. And I just realized I'm prescretarian starting tomorrow, for a week. All the yummy bazaar Ramadhan goodness will have to wait.

Why didn't I take up Dad's offer for that piece of chicken earlier! Rawr.

Following, Following, Following

Church starts at 9, I usually get up by 8 to prepare - eat brekkie, primp, change and head out. Today, I thought I was late.. only to realize I was an hour early. o__0

I woke at 7am, snoozed till 7.40ish - all the while thinking it was 8 and that I was late.

Maps - Maroon 5

Love love. Happy Sunday all you folks! xx

If, And I Said, If

Children - Robert Miles

If, I were to die tomorrow.. I'd be happy I lived. And I need (and want) you to be happy for me. =)

I don't have much regrets, I've accomplished what I feel is 'sufficiently so' for where I am in life. Mistakes that I've made, I've learnt from them, mostly. People I've wronged, I don't think there are any, but do accept my last apology. Life has been full of blessings, in the form of people, and experiences I've been through.

I'd wish you, all that the world has to offer. And be kind to one another.

I've always wondered what it must feel like, to leave the world without having the chance to say what you want to say. So to check off another of 'something that I may regret not doing', I'm saying what I want to say, should I die tomorrow and miss my opportunity.

And I'm not being morbid, it's a fact that we all will die. Someday. It's just a matter of time. Eulogies at funerals have always fascinated me too. Friends and close ones talk about you, but you no longer can hear them. I suppose eulogies aren't for the dead, but for the living. So that they may live on knowing and remembering the departed for who they were, and how they lived.

That's about right. Say nice things of me pretty please! :D

Can You See That I'm Smiling?

I need to stop binging on these jumbo honey coated cashews!

I am not a fan of nuts, if you don't already know, so I am really only eating this because of the coat of honey.

9 items on my to-do before I head out for lunch in what others may consider to be my pj's. Ultimate fail at attempting to be fashionable. I should really just stick to my staple of jeans shorts and a tee.

Why are there so many beautiful people out there? I jealous.

Should really start going back to Fuel. I'm just too lazy a bum to workout on my own. Fatty bom bom.

Why do people hoard? Because everything is of sentimental value, I get that.

H2o, H2o!

So the rest of the family will be off to the States, without me because I wasn't about to take 10 days off to fly halfway around the world, get used to the jet lag and fly back only to deal with another bout of jet lag. But now I really want to to kick myself in the butt (if that's physically possible) because the family will be visiting all the places I've been dying wanting to visit: SF, Yosemite.. Ah darn.

I hope the next time I apply for my US visa, they won't just give me a one year pass because I'd be mighty upset.

19th of September, it's confirmed, my last day.

I wanna go dive, and travel, and see new sights. And sail more, I hope that works out. And ultimately get a new job.

Mani pedi with mommy tomorrow, what colors should I get??

Something about my hair that needs to be changed.

Still have that 9 things to do before I head out, gotta run! Ciao! xx

Extraordinarily Whiny Today

Sandiwara Cinta - Repvlik

I heard the above this morning because it was playing on the PA system of the school opposite my house - go figure. And I thought it sounded like a really sweet song.

Despite not wanting to be judgemental, I cannot not comment on the video: I think the girl really was just asking for it, she totally doesn't deserve to cry. And the guy, I mean, come on.. Really? You'd still pine over a girl who you can clearly tell is only after all the glitters? Well, serves both of them right. Doesn't make the song any less sweet though, just a case of a not-so-interesting music video.

Okay, goodnight world, sweet dreams, sleep tight! xx

Hi

BOO!

Bye. x

Do You Believe In Chance?

Que Sera - Justice Crew

I chanced upon this on my drive home from work. Oooh likey!

Okay bye. xx

Sunday Tune

Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel

听见下雨的声音

聽見下雨的聲音 - 魏如昀

今天肚子怪怪的
天气也热热的
脸用完了新收到的scrub 也痛痛的

但是 就是觉得开心
也不知道 不确定是 为什么
终而言之 快乐就对

人活着 不就这样最重要 你说 是不是？=)

Simple, Happy Vibes

Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men

1. Gosh, them lazy bones.. Only managed 50 (cheat) situps. Or was it 25?
2. Headache. Flabs. Headache. Flabs. Flabs induced headaches? Ahhhh, I know! Heat induced headaches.
3. My car has too many scratches. I'm a hopeless driver. =[
4. What good does angry do for you? None.
5. So just be happy. Easy.
6. Why the heck is IPL so expensive. It's not even a rhetorical question.
7. I pledge to not wear shoes in which my toes can be seen for work. For at least a week.
8. Of course I know I am pretty. Who are you kidding. It's just that I have bad days too.
9. Can't wait to eat my char siew pao's tomorrow.
10. Pouts. I need icecream. It's too hot.

Happiness found in simplicity. Simpleness is happiness. Happiness is simple. Simply happy. Word play?

Anyway

Finding beauty in imperfection, in the form of a chip in my freshly done manicure. It's really easier said than done.

Would love it if Warehouse would kindly sponsor me to wear their clothing line.

Finally finished The Social Animal last night. Three Cups of Tea next!

I've been told that I'm too sensitive at times. And now that I think about it, it is relatively true. I'm going to work on this.

The Paradoxical Commandments by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

There are a few things I need to get done. And it's close to 11 already..

Hurry hurry! xx

The Pink Elephant

Ten Feet Tall - Afrojack feat Wrabel

This be a great workout song. My stomach is dying from either the yummy Vietnamese Sesame Chicken or the (mere) 50 situps. I know I've shared this before, but it's that good.

I have not been reading as much as I'd like. I really want to finish The Social Animal tonight, but my eyes are heavy.

I need new shorts for jammies. I want to do my nails too, but am too much of a bum. Big fat pimple of my forehead. Bit my tongue while chewing lunch today. Ouchiee.

We're giants in a little man's world.. xx

If You Want To, I Can Save You

All You Wanted - Michelle Branch

Heard this on the radio after lunch. =)

Had my hair cut, it's significantly shorter now, say, 2 inches shorter..

I always (and still do) think that for me to take good photos, it'll have to be the left side of my face - features are sharper. But I've realized that with some help from alcohol, I take amazing photos regardless of which side of my face! LOL

I've learned a valuable lesson over the past couple of days, and I am gonna share it with you. It pays to be nice, and to go the extra mile. Sincerity goes a loooooong way. So does kindness, but we all already know that, we just don't practice it much. We totally should though.

And Happy Father's Day to all daddy's! I wonder how all other daddy's deal with their little princesses growing up.. Mine's okay at it, from my perspective that is. I think he has slight issues letting go. And he sometimes nags too much, and often times, he thinks he's always right. I believe it's all good natured though, after all, he's my daddy! :D

No red rose petals for sit down weddings, please note. Stained my pretty white dress at dinner yesterday. =(

You love me don't you! I bet you do, it's hard not to.

Lights Out

If you're a fan of Ingrid, you'd probably have already heard her Lights Out album. If you haven't, fret not! Go here. :D

The only song I don't fancy is Handsome Hands, because it creeps me out. Hahaha!

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do! xx

Top 10 Again, And Again

1. Told you I'm liking this Top 10 thing.

3. Strawberry Tea with milk.
4. I have some serious icecream craving.

5. You see, I am reaaaaaaally tempted to cut my hair short. But I am also reaaaaally worried that I'll regret it.

10. I have a box of Ferrero's! Gonna share it in the office tomorrow.

Calories are best shared. More for others, less for me. Works just fine. xx

I Looked Across And Fell In Love

It's not difficult to be in the mood for some love. The difficult part is to actually fall in love, and to stay in love. I reckon. =)

All Of The Stars - Ed Shereen

Feeling much better today, no more headache! But still a lazy bum. Ending today with zero workout.

It's already the second week of June.. Guys, we're at the mid year mark - time to review those resolutions hey!

I am gonna make myself some tea. And think a little. xx

Say Hi To My Pet Dragon

Took a friend 15 Pokeballs to catch. Made me smile.

What does it take to inspire? A good heart, a wise mind, a charismatic attitude, an infectious personality. I realized that of it all, death inspires the most. I am not being morbid, but it's kinda true don't you think?

Only a Person who Risks is Free

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach for another is to risk involvement.
To expose your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To believe is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing.
They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, live.
Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom.

Only a person who risks is free.

There's one more to go. Funny how I never realized these were up on the wall. And I am sure there are other brilliant quotes around, but I like these and considering how if each of my readers like it too, the message gets passed on anyway. And that's the whole point.

So I am 26 already; the day I most look forward to every year has come and gone by. Just like that.

This Is For You

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'

Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

And happy birthday to me, in advance. Lots of love.

Why Does Wisdom Not Come Naturally With Age

Melted - Akdong Musician

I don't know why, but I am absolutely and totally in love with this melody - the music video itself is kinda heartwrenching, but the end of it warms my heart a little, just a little, in a funny kind of manner. Translation of the lyrics can be found here.

I am reminded again why I don't have faith in relationship(s) that concerns/ involves me. I just don't have it in me to believe that it is possible.

Other randoms: Wasabi peanuts kicks. Some of the best photos I've taken is when I'm mildly intoxicated. My bed is in a mess from all my laundry and I don't wanna tidy!

Today, just today, I'm not all that excited about the birthday no more.

I'm Back From Samui

I spent a good 20mins looking for this song on youtube because Shazam named is Space. I should have figured..

 空白格 - 蔡健雅

I had a bit too much to drink last night in Samui, and I am still suffering from the after effects. Crappy. No more alcohol for a good long while. And it's back to the office tomorrow. Yay-yers.

And I reckon we need to come up with a way to mute crying babies and/or noisy toddlers in confined areas, especially planes. I understand that they may feel pain or discomfort because of the air pressure, but it's irritating max. And parents who couldn't care less deserve to be thrown out of the flight mid air.

4 more days to go, I hope you've not forgotten. =)

Good to be back no less. xx
