Coded

There's something called balance, just right. Too loud and it's noise, too soft and you can't hear. Peeved. Can't say you didn't see it coming. I would really like to know what are you thinking. 我喜欢自己的空间。 Do I even exist there? What happened to us? I miss you. There's no law saying I can't. I do. I must really like Bastille. Of the night. I do. I really do. 你就不能让我吗? Heck it. Hurts. Them legs. More than that. What's what. What's what. Mozzie RAWR stop biting me. 烦。I wish I were more in control of my own emotions.

Secret - 윤성기

Because we all have secrets.

Won't you teach me how to love and learn. Won't you?

Same Same But Different

Today, I am amazed at how people all turned out different, but yet are still the same. People who, are not who I thought they would be. That's why it's said, to never judge. People who ended up with each other despite all the odds. And are happy. And will be.

Growing Pain 2 - Cold Cherry

Love love love. How can you not.

When life throws you opportunities, but too many at a time, what do you do?

Slow Down

Let time catch up. Didn't think that was possible, or at least, it's always the opposite that rings true, that time flies and we must make every second count.

But in the midst of rushing, of hurrying and making everything count, maybe, just maybe, we allowed other important things to go by us without notice.

Rather Be - Clean Bandit feat Jess Glynne

I wonder if that's possible. I wonder.

Mid week already, have a good one nonetheless. x

P/s: Petronas's advert for Merdeka is cute.

When The Days Are Cold

I don't always feel like this. As a matter of fact, I don't recall when I last felt like this. This may very well be the first actually.

It's one of those lazy days - I'm not particularly sad, nor am I particularly happy. Not particularly enthusiastic, nor am I dreading the day. It's one of those days where luncheon meat and coffee trumps going to the gym for an intense a workout. Hmmm. It's one of those days where I want to go buy stuff but know that I don't really need anything. I like people, but today, I don't quite want to be around people. I want to talk, but I don't quite know what to say.

A day where, icecream is not even part of my craving.

I am not too sure if there's one word to describe this feeling really. It's not sadness, I know what sadness it. If indecisiveness is a feeling, that's probably it then.

Yup.

Post by Lessons Learned In Life.

The radio has been playing some pretty awesome songs today, in conjunction with mourning for MH17, I believe. I don't know anyone whose lives were lost in the tragedy (or more aptly put, in the many recent tragedies), but perhaps, when there's finally closure, those left behind can move on. Easy for me to say I know, but life is kinda like that - we can't ever fully understand the pain of others.

Is it too much to ask for radio stations keep to playing songs like this more often on a daily basis though?

Demons (Live London Sessions) - Imagine Dragons

I've always liked that song. But this acoustic version is even better!

Think I should at least stretch a little later. Now that I think about it, flexibility is an antidote to many things in life. Don't you think?

Alrighty! Be good! xxoo

Good Thing For Coffee

Trouble - Coldplay

Suddenly, nothing's much fun anymore.

Joy Will Come

Joy Will Come - Desperation Band

Am I doing enough? Don't think so. Why do I cause myself all these undue stress? Maybe, just maybe, it's because I know it's worth it.

Ate too much curry rice for dinner. There's something about Japanese rice, really. I'm not usually a rice-bin, aka 饭桶。

Gonna watch To The Ends of The Earth - The First 40 Years | Volvo Ocean Race and then it's bedtime.

Oyasumi! xx

I Wish

1. Someone would ACCIDENTALLY stumble unto my shopping list.

2. I had all the answers to all the questions.

3. You'd stop asking me questions that make me re-think about possibilities.

4. The weekend came quicker, and at the same time, not so much.

5. I can eat all the icecream in the world and not gain weight.

Waiting For Superman - Daughtry

No, not really waiting for superman to pick me up. But it'd be kinda nice if he's out there. Somewhere.

Night! xx

Quite Frankly Speaking

I Need You - Kim Sung Kyu

I'm not sure.

Exciting!

Because I am in a hurry to go to sleep.. Here's a summary of all the jazz.

I get inspired by people. Had the opportunity to meet one of the Volvo Ocean Racing female crew sailing on team SCA yesterday. Such an inspiration.

Excellence - A Team SCA film

I would think that I'd have chicken dreams tonight. Where they'll haunt me in my sleep. Now I'm scared to sleep. I had KFC for lunch, and tandoori for dinner. Chicken overload.

Bought tickets to Bali, and Korea! Woots woots! I've always wondered what it's like to be a parent - not that I want to be one. When we were kids, even when going to the mall, we had to ask for permission. As we grew, we naturally stop asking for permission but we'll still consult our parents. And then comes a time when we just stop altogether, we just do our own thing and sometimes, we don't even tell our parents what we're up to anymore.

Sometimes I wonder how they take it.

That's it for now. Nights! xx

Warm Honey Milk

10,000 Reasons - Matt Redman

Honey because I've got the onset of a sore throat. And milk, well, warm milk for a goodnight's sleep. If you learn one thing at all, it is to be honest.

Sweet dreams! xx

Sleep Time

Jelly arms. Legs too. Went climbing today! Much fun though.

Glam shots.. of my bum. 

Because that's the only angle caught on camera. 

If only icecream is recovery food. If only.

Stronger, Definitely

This Is What It Feels Like - Armin van Buuren feat Trevor Guthrie

Hello! I know I've been absent for awhile. Did you, by any chance, miss me?

It's okay if that's a no. After all, I'm learning to get used to that. =)

It looks to be an exciting weekend, and an exciting week. Yay-yers! xx

Top 10

下个,路口,见 - 李宇春

1. I hope I didn't injure my shoulder, that would not be fun. Soreness I can deal with, but not an injury.

2. Mike Wan got me hooked on 中国好声音! It's the China version of The Voice. And the people who go on stage are amazing.. And I also have them to thank for a new playlist to listen to - like the song above, which is the original singer's version. So nice!

3. I pledge to not eat Maggie for the rest of August. Because it has no nutritional value what-so-ever.

4. Now that my hair is shorter, it dries faster too! /happydance

5. Yesterday's outing was a much needed one, with good people, lots of laughs, and good food. And well, I got to sail.

6. I really need to work on my lousy temper though.

7. My second attempt at Sweet Potato fries wedges was much much better. A tad too dry though, cause I tried cooking it in my microwave first - perhaps it dried up the sweet potato a little.

8. 愛是一顆幸福的子彈　愛是一次永久的期待　沒有愛就沒有傷害 - 愛是一顆幸福的子彈

9. 我要　我瘋　我要　我愛　就是； 我不轉彎 - 盛夏光年

10. 有時　我感覺失落　感覺自己像一棵草 有時　我陷入空虛　可我不知道為什麼 - 美麗世界的孤兒

Chinese song lyrics really can be quite emo, and so meaningful. And when they are all so well sung, I melt.

Red Lips

I've always believed that as long as you have the confidence, you'd be able to pull off any style. That was my take every time I saw bloggers or celebrities wearing some fancy makeup or some out-of-this-world kinda attire.

And while I usually keep to my elements (shorts and a tee with no makeup) when I go out, today, I decided to put in a little more effort, and try the red lippy - I've tried it previously, on one or two occasions, but always ended up wiping it away before it saw daylight. 

I have to say, I really really did not feel comfortable with myself throughout. And that sucks. By the time I finished my coffee, I was left with the outlines of the lipstick. One, I am definitely applying it wrongly, and two, I just don't think I can carry it. 

So much for trying though. Least now I can say that it doesn't work, for me. Guess I'll just be contented with my natural beauty. Hehehe!

Here's one for the record anyways.

Weekends need to be longer! And hello August, be good.
