Late night blues

When was the last time I got a _______ from ________?

One last song before I go

 

Really very long-winded today lol, k im just gonna share this song here which I'm recently in love with, it's in the soundtrack of the movie Like Crazy. 

 

 

"Dead Hearts"

Tell me everything that happened
Tell me everything you saw
They had lights inside their eyes
They had lights inside their eyes

Did you see the closing window?
Did you hear the slamming door?
They moved forward, my heart died
They moved forward, my heart died

Please, please tell me what they look like
Did they seem afraid of you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

[Chorus]
I could say it, but you won't believe me
You say you do, but you don't deceive me
It's hard to know they're out there
It's hard to know that you still care
I could say it but you wont believe me
You say you do but you don't deceive me
Dead hearts are everywhere
Dead hearts are everywhere

Did you touch them, did you hold them?
Did they follow you to town?
They make me feel I'm falling down
They make me feel I'm falling down

Was there one you saw too clearly?
Did they seem too real to you?
They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew

[Chorus x2]

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you
Now they're all dead hearts to you

They were kids that I once knew
They were kids that I once knew
Now they're all dead hearts to you

Food Cravings

It is 3.38am in the morning and I am soooo hungryyyy but I refused to eat anything cos I am fat and I'm on a diet. 

So I shall further torment myself by looking at food photos and reminiscing about the times when I ate them 

 

1. Perfect combination of potato with tuna and bacon bits eaten at Lyon's 21st house party

2. Mensa feast (Spaghetti Arabiatta, fish and chips, chicken chops, fries, tomato soup) enter my mouth now!!

3. My favourite ee-mian eaten at the food court in Changi Point 

4. Classic Rosti from Marche! Wonder how just potatoes can taste so good, I can eat this literally every day!

 

5. Bibimbap from Seoul Yummy! this korean restaurant at Suntec. Heard somewhere that the thing about korean food is that it has to be spicy and hot, like piping hot. Like notice how korean cuisines always come in hot pots, served to you hot in stone pots with the smoke still floating when you're eating. okay speaking of this, lyon is on the flight to korea at this moment, so excited for her! 

6. My favourite shabu shabu place, Sho Teppan! and my classic order, the marbled pork shabu shabu ^o^

7. My all time favourite breakfast from Robert Timms. This all day breakfast is cheap ($13 or so) and definitely worthwhile! 

There's honestly so many more things I wanna eat now but I'll stop at there.

Random : Went for a swim with mandy today and it was fun and productive, time to start exercising more often and get into shape! 

 

Till then, goodnight (x)

 

# Justsaying

Hellooo

I wonder if it's the hols and I have too much time on hand to think about random stuff like this but I wonder if I am the only one who thinks that I am good in nothing. 

I mean... there is absoultely nothing I am good at. This is probably why I still do not know what job to pursue at this age. 

For examples, there's art and drawing, which I have long admitted that I have zero talent in. (despite the art lessons I have taken at RC centre when I was young, yes it's true)

Then there's always studies, I would say I'm an average student who occasionally scores a B or a distinction now and then, but the usual grades would be C and credit which let's face it, is not good enough. 

Then there's singing which is my number one passion, which I believe I am ok in it but not really good, not good enough for anything more than leisure singing with my friends or in the shower hah 

After that, there's sports. I am an indoor person, like I can't even stay outdoors/in the sun for a few hours (headache), and the only sports I do are like swimming, jogging, and badminton, lol. 

And then there's always cooking, I know I can't blame this on anyone other than myself, but I have to admit that I am the worst cook I know, I mean, even my younger brother can cook better than me. To think I was still a F&N student (which I did badly in, no surprise), and I can't even cook anything besides instant noodles now. 

These are all that I can think of at the moment, which is honestly really quite a lot already. So... bottom line is.... I am really good in nothing. 

And that I am the laziest person in the world. 

 

Bittersweet

 

Today I watched this movie 'Like Crazy' as recommended by xinying, no doubt, films recommended by her are always good, and this proved to be no exception. 

It is a romantic movie that is not so cliche and hollywood-y and I agree with her, Honest. 

The story is basically about long distance relationships and the bittersweet memories and events that come along with it. So these two characters are deep in love but their relationship is bounded by legal and immigration restraints. Their relationship becomes on and off, with other people in their lives at some point of time, but ultimately still going back to loving each other and realising that they are the true ones to each other. I believe this is a very realistic scenario in life where choices are not so obvious and definite, they are not laid out nicely for you to make comparisons easily. Such is life. 

I'm not even sure why I am blogging about this at this time but I am just so overwhelmed with emotions after watching this film. Definitely gonna stay as one of my favorite films of all time. 

 

Peace out (X)

Italy 2011 Part I

So one paper down today, the paper was alright I guess. Hopefully can get a distinction or at least a credit *crossing fingers*   So three more to go, and one which I have not touched on at all. So wish me luck heh.

This is extremely overdue, but I'm just gonna summarize my Europe trip in Dec 2011 with these few posts :)

Flew Emirates, so had to transit at Dubai which is always a chore, there's nth to do at the airport there, so we just ate macs and rotted at the waiting area. Excited and pumped up!!! 

And then we arrived in Rome, Italy! First time to Italy, first impression : Italians are not very friendly and approachable but that's probably just a generalization heh.

So we went to the famous StPeter's Square in Vatican City, the smallest state in the world if my geography doesnt fail me

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Family shot, kaching! 

Next we went to the Colosseum. It was already approaching evening time by that time, sunset so prettty! snapped this on the coach, i took lots of photos on the coach throughout this whole trip, when everyone else are sleeping hahah super excited! 

Anw it is really so not worth to go holiday with tour agencies, esp to European countries or America. The tour package is 15 days, and they count the flying day as one day, so technically u start your trip on the second day and in our case, we reached in the afternoon so technically it was already half day gone, and then likewise for the departure, they count the flying day as one day. I know this is how it works, but always thought it's kind of unfair and cheating, so go backpack yourself is the best!!

Night time.

The night view is spectacular with the street lamps and the dark blue sky and the architecture. I love European architecture, so pretttty <3 

Next morning's breakfast 

Oh btw, hotel morning breakfast is a part of travelling which I always look forward to! though it's always the usual scrambled egg and sausage, but the feeling of eating classic breakfast, sipping hot tea wearing your thick warm clothing when the weather outside is freezing is too good to be true. heh heh living in Singapore, so got deprived of this simple pleasure 

And then we travelled from Rome to Pisa!

Me taking a failed shot with the Pisa Tower. What I can remember from that place was that it was windy like mad and freezing cold. Someone almost flew away hahah cant remember if it's my sis or my bro. I was holding onto my camera for dear life

By nightime, we made a quick pit stop at Florence! 

And this below, can arguably be the best steak I have eaten before in my 20 years of life (not that I have eaten a lot of steak before lol)

Okay this post ended off kind of abruptly but the photo loading is taking too long and Im gg to bed to prep myself for intense studying tmr. 

Italy Part 2 will be up soon! (if I'm not lazy and busy studying or watching tv haha)

Goodnight!

So this below is a brief summary of the past year events :)

 

In March, went to Korea to attend sis's korean friend's wedding, had to miss mum's bday as a result but it was great fun! some great sisterly bonding trip :)

Then in May came the graduation ceremony for us all, a very important and meaningful day that I would never forget, and my dad came! <3

Went to watch some movie (forgot), and ate Marche and had a fun camwhore session (recently just bought my cam) and watched a really fun balloon bursting challenge lol, great fun indeed

Then came Eric's big 21st birthday chalet! the theme was stripes, as yonghan on the left clearly didnt follow suit hahah

And then in July, the awesome foursome gang of ly, me, weilun, and Ian, went to Genting! A very memorable and fun filled 3 days 2 nights :D

Then came September, time for Weilun, our first botak to enlist into NS. Had a short and sweet farewell dinner at 2d1n korean bbq and gave him febreeze as farewell gift hee

And then came Mandy's birthday and we had a mini celebration at Siti's place while on a Hari Raya house visit, love the polaroid!

Oct 1st was a BIG day! It was Shirley jiejie's wedding day! Omg this was too surreal, the shirley jiejie who watched me grow up is now married! I was one of the sisters, and sis was the bridesmaid, the whole day was really an eye-opening experience for me and a lovely and unforgettable day 

The day I got my laptop! heheeeh

And this right below is my favourite shot, taken in March 2011 at Helipad on one of our clubbing nights, we look so young and innocent. I love the twists, the fact that weilun was not looking at the camera, our big and happy smiles and the tinted light effects haha. love love love <3
