♥♥


i carry your heart with me (i carry it in my heart)
i am never without it (anywhere i go you go, my dear;
and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;
which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

Aja, fighting!


no one tries new things because they're confident about it.
after trying, they get confident because they did it.
there's no one that doesn't fear something.

Just The Way You Are' Just A Dream' Remix



This, is one of the loveliest acapella I've ever heard in my life ^^
& its gotta be my favouritest mash from the movie Pitch Perfect!

Pitch Perfect has like about 10 more mashed up soundtracks
and I've loaded all of them into my phone for replays already!
There's this really cute song that Anna Kendrick sang
while beating around with a cup, which is really nice too.
"You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLF5zDBehPE
ok so, everything from this movie is just so so awesome (: (: (:
Ppl, you all just have to watch it if you like musical comedy
and for me, I wouldn't mind watching it for the 2nd/3rd/4th/5th time!

Turn It Up



Baby, its over, we both know, lets go forward
I love you, but in a different way, I love you, forever
Now that we've come to the end of a story-y and I know that it's gonna be hard for me
Might hurt some, not too much, but I gotta let it wait
As the world turns around and we go different places, new things, new dreams, new faces
Wanna shake up, when we break up, but we keep our memories

'coz I know you can't stay, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the fall
We had our time, baby, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the call
Turn it up, turn it up for the people that say "we're moving on and we'll be okay" x2

Baby, it's better, and I want you, to be happy
Sometimes people find that it's so hard just to say goodbye
Then easy the more and the more you try
So there'll be cheating, be deceiving, but not me and my boy
We understand that we're friends and it just ain't working, no point in the constant fighting
So when we go nuts, for a minute, and admit that we're just not in it

I know you can't stay, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the fall
We had our time, baby, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the call
Turn it up, turn it up for the people that say "we're moving on and we'll be okay" x4

I might lose my mind for a while, but I'll be fine
Have you heard there's this thing that heals, and it's called time
Clock can tick away, happy will fall in place
I know, my heart will break, a new me will fill this space

I know you can't stay, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the fall
We had our time, baby, so I won't be waiting, anticipating for the call
Turn it up, turn it up for the people that say "we're moving on and we'll be okay" x4


.....................................................................................................................................
b, im really sorry for making you angry. but you should have known better... & i'll miss you.

music, for the soul ♬

Some cognitive scientists believe human response to music provides evidence that we are more than just flesh and blood - that we also have soul. Their thinking is as follows:

All reactions to external stimuli can be traced back to an evolutionary rationale. You pull your hand away from fire to avoid physical harm. You get butterflies before an important speech because the adrenaline running through your veins has caused a physiological fight-or-flight response. But there is no evolutionary context within which people's response to music makes sense - the tapping of a foot, the urge to sing along or to get up and dance, there's just no survival benefit in these activities. For this reason, some believe that our response to music is proof that there's more to us than just biological and physiological mechanics - that the only way to be moved by the spirit, so to speak, is to have one in the first place.

-taken frm Sing You Home by Jodi Picoult
ps: im still halfway through the book, so gonna finish reading it all!!
and yes, personally i do agree that music has a really interesting effect on people (:

Hello Hong Kong!

 Went Hong Kong with Siying few months back and
our Day 1 started off with us roaming around the Hollywood Road Antique Street.
Well, we searched hi-and-low for the Lomography Shop so i could get my Fisheye Cam & Diana Cam ^^*
Spent some time exploring the shop, got my toys & we're off for night shoppings at 女人街.
Its not much of a shopping heaven for me since the things there are pretty much like those we see here.
But i must say, i love the weather there and its nice to shop amidst the cool wind blowing (:
Made our way back to CASA Hotel which is conveniently located just right at the exit of 油麻地 MRT Station!
Really havda thank Siying's bro for booking this hotel for us!

-Day 2 to be updated-

Recent ❤

i just finished streaming 2 Thai shows and its so i wanna share here!


1. Crazy Little Thing Called Love

This is one lovely Thai show that made me cried at many many parts >.<
its super touching annnnnd is really nice and enjoyable ^^*
thanks song buck for recommending this to meee (: (: (:

Its about a girl who changed from an ugly duckling to a beautiful swan
hoping her crush, the campus hearthrob, would acknowledge her existence.

And since its based on an old school kinda love story,
it showed things like how the girl did a few stupid things to get the guy's attention in school,
that rush of excitement she gets when she sees the person she likes, even from afar,
and how its like to zone out at random times of the day becos her mind is too preoccupied by that one person.

I couldn't agree more on the movie saying it was "based on the true story of everyone"
I believe anyone would be able to relate to this movie though i think girls would appreciate it more =D
What I love most will be that Thai shows always manage to depict that old school love story very sweetly ^.^

2. Bangkok Traffic Love Story

I really enjoyed this one as well! Its...just a simple love story..
But somehow, i get really touched by simple things like this's...

.....
The guy and the girl met incidentally. They fell in love. Got broken apart somehow.
But still managed to get back sweetly together eventually.
The girl made some blunders while trying to seek for the guy's attention at first...
The guy did something sweet for the girl somewhere along the show to show his affection...
.....

This is the typical kind of plot Thai romantic comedy movie always have.
But it still remains my favorite kinda movie compared to any other Hollywood shows.
Of course i do watch all the blockbuster movies like The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers and stuff,
but i still secretly ♥ Thai romantic comedy/ comedy films the most ^^*

And god, below is the 1st Thai song that I've ever liked =D
(i mean, who listens Thai songs nowadays :p)

Its a video with a summary of "Bangkok Traffic Love Story"
But But, its Viet Sub hahahahaha cos i cant find the Eng Sub version!!
Whatever la cos the song is really nice and the feeeeeel~ is there!! =3=

Please Send Someone to Love Me by Instinct



kk the eng lyrics are below =D the feeeeel is there right~~ & its right~~
totally fits the female lead in the movie and speaks what i do feel sometimes too >.<

How much longer must I be alone?
How many more times must I sigh?
How many times must love let me down before you’re satisfied?
Turn on love songs and listen to them by myself
Having a one-sided love makes me feel so isolated
I look all around me, but there’s no one in sight
Why does it have to be me?
*I comfort myself, ‘It’ll happen some day’
I’ll meet someone genuine
I keep telling myself that it’ll happen some day
But I have no idea when
(But how much longer must I wait?)
**Please send someone to love me
It’s far too cold living like this
I want to know what true love is like
It’s real, isn’t it?
Please send me my soulmate
So that I won’t feel lonely anymore
Help me understand
And let me be in love with someone for once
I’m so lonely, I can hardly stand it
I try to suppress it, but it never works
I want to know what it’s like to love and be loved
Repeat * / **

With someone for once
Help me understand
And let me be in love with someone for once

Somehow, Thai romantic comedy/ comedy movies never seem to disappoint me =D
There's some other good ones like Hello Stranger, Hello Ghost & ATM.
Suckseed's not bad too and yep, I guess thats all that I've watched already =)

Happy 47th Birthday Singapore!


it was Singapore's National Day just few weeks ago on 9 Aug
& i got these awesome fireworks pics from my friend deming's fb album ^^*
its lovely to see that the MBS actually changes color with the colorful fireworks
but too baddd, i actually missed out on this spectacular view :(
anyhooooo, hope i'll get to see it next time!! its beautiful ^.^
& HAPPY BIRTHDAY SINGAPORE ONCE AGAIN!
LOVE YOU SINGAPORE =DD

Wedding Dress & ILY

been really into KPOP recently so i actually went to search for nice korean hitz to listen to!
below are two that i really really like even though they're not new releases =DD

I) Wedding Dress by taeyang from BIG BANG:



this is one MV that i really love and no matter how many times i watch it,
i can still feel that bittersweet love story that was depicted throughout.
taeyang can really sing, dance & act! ^.^ he's definitely one of those awesome all-rounders &
i feel super sad for him that he didn't get to be with the girl in the video! 真的sad!

II) I Love You by 2NE1:



found out from a student that "2NE1" actually means "to anyone"!!
so special & meaningful right!!
& i must say though not all members in 2NE1 are pretty/sexy like SNSD,
i really adore how the girls are daring enough to pick up all the bold & daring fashion styles
that most others would never want to try.
for e.g. dara actually shaved half her head for her style in this video yet still looks gorgeous in it!
they could wear all the junkiest stuff yet still look awesome ^^*

Korean Dinner @ 2D1N Soju Bang & Desserts @ PS Cafe

met up with shinye, bazhang & wengyin to utilise our almost dued coupons to visit Mint Museum!
we commented at every little small things we observed at the museum and of course,
were hungryyy after that and decided to roam the tanjong pagar area for good food!
we found 2D1N Soju Bang which bazhang's been there before & ordered this stewed chicken hot pot to try.
its seriously not bad and i like their tender chicken meat. but...the soup/ gravy/ broth is too sinful!

the colorful view of shophouses i stumbled upon after walking out from dinner (:

and as shinye & i were shopping along those shophouses that were still opened,
ba walked around and discovered PS cafe. we're all really full after our filling korean dinner
but not one's ever too full for desserts huh ^^*

me ordered a mint & lemon soda and this person gave a spastic look when it came!

the mint did make the drink taste weird and shinye actually dug all of them
outta my drink to prevent it from tasting anymore weirder ~,~

not to leave out this humongous chocolate cake that fits the size of a plate used to serve fried rice!
its nice and tasted more like brownie in fact but, tooooo much that us combined and we still leave leftovers behind!

foodie we each brought on our own: potato salad by siping, drinks by wenting plus fruits & desserts by me! 
while these delicious-looking sushi are no doubt grab on by lazy yizhen on a last-minute resort!
didn't manage to snap a picture of my handmade dessert for them but well, these are pretty much the food we had for picnic!

it's been a long time since we've had a gathering and look at what we played: uno stacko. because, none of us bought monopoly deal! >,<

 
so...we spent our entire time catching up while playing this brainless yet relaxing game under the greenery (:

forfeits for the losers and here's one of the disgusting thing we did to our yizhen, to eat those 小馒头mixed with coke zero, yikes!

  
and here's what i had, chips in green tea...MEHHHHH it tastes really weird!!

❤ from Online Shopping!

 you know, sometimes you'll get so tired after work that all you want is to get home for some rest.
but once you settle down after dinner at home, you just feel like doing 'something else' before
you end the day and wake up to another working day. and here's what i do: 'Online Shopping'!
and the picture above is one of my favourite buys! its a delicate sweet-looking passport holder
which makes me happy just by looking at it! simply cant wait to use it when i next check in for holiday trips!

 spotted MAK MAKS on GMarket and i must say their stuff are really cheap yet nice!
I ordered its navy blue dotted chiffon blouse and because the material is so comfortable,
I actually placed another order for the same blouse in both pink and white!
Which means now i get to own all 3 colors of this piece. Oh well, its only $10.90 each!
got this Dorothy blouse in hotpink which I can wear for work as well as for causal occasions.

and here's another from MAK MAKS as well, quality material ribbon pants which fits me nicely! ^^*

We Found ❤ In A Hopeless Place


  
it's like your screaming, and no one could hear
you almost feel ashamed, that someone could be that important,
that without them you feel like nothing,
no one will ever understand how much it hurts..
you feel hopeless, like nothing can save you
and when its over, when its gone
you almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back,
so that you could have the good

523 episodes of One Piece o(^﹏^)o

 Since I've blogged about 'Bleach' previously, I might as well share the other animes that I'm watching over here (:
Here's 'One Piece', which i seriously find nicer and more interesting than 'Bleach'!
It's one of the few anime that can make me laugh throughout yet cry over watching it.
And wow, though I've already caught 500 over episodes of it already,
I'll still continue to follow it! (((((: It's a really meaningful show to me.

I've been watching 'Naruto' too, but parts of it can get really draggy so i wouldn't reccommand it.
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood on the other hand is AWESOME!
It's way shorter than the above mentioned anime series with only 43 episodes. So WATCH IT PEOPLE!

345 Episodes of Bleach o(^﹏^)o

 these are some of the main characters for Bleach- each being cool & unique in their own distinct ways.
and though 345 episodes do sound crazily long.....but trust me this is an awesome anime!
their graphics, story plots, and songs always manage to surprise me as i follow it over time ❤.
thank goodness there's still more to come. and though they're only releasing 1ep/wk, it's worth the wait!

 The story opens with the sudden appearance of Shinigami Rukia Kuchiki in Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom. She is surprised at his ability to see her, but their conversation is shortly interrupted by the appearance of a "Hollow", an evil spirit. After Rukia is severely wounded while trying to protect Ichigo, she attempts to transfer half her powers to Ichigo in order to let him face the Hollow on equal footing. Ichigo instead unintentionally absorbs almost all her energy, allowing him to defeat the hollow with ease. The next day Rukia appears in Ichigo's classroom as a seemingly normal Human, and informs Ichigo that his absorption of her powers has left her stranded in the Human World until she recovers her strength. In the meantime Ichigo shelters Rukia in his home and takes over her job as a Shinigami, battling Hollows and guiding lost souls to Soul Society.

After a few months, Rukia's superiors interpret her disappearance as desertion, send a detachment to arrest her, and sentence her to death. With the help of several classmates who also possess spiritual abilities and ex-Shinigami Kisuke Urahara, Ichigo then sets off for the Shinigami base, located in the afterlife realm known as Soul Society. Once there, Ichigo and company battle against the elites of the Shinigami military, and are ultimately successful in halting Rukia's execution.

It is then revealed that Rukia's execution and Ichigo's rescue attempt were both manipulated by Sōsuke Aizen, a high ranking Shinigami previously believed to be murdered, as part of a far-reaching plot to take control of Soul Society. Aizen betrays his fellow Shinigami and allies himself with the Hollows, becoming the main antagonist of the series, and Ichigo teams up with his former enemies in Soul Society after learning that the next step in Aizen's plan involves the destruction of his home town. The Gotei 13 unite to defeat Aizen and the Arrancar but are unable to stop Aizen in the Fake Karakura Town they created. Ichigo eventually defeats Aizen in Soul Society at the cost of his Shinigami powers. At this point, Bleach chronicles Ichigo's attempt to regain his lost powers. According to Tite Kubo, the ending of the series is not yet planned out or written...


this is one wallpaper that i really like! it depicted these characters as normal high schoolers in their human form
but from their shadows, they each hold the responsibility of being a Shinigami.

and out of the many many, here's my favourite characters ❤:

Kurosaki Ichigo, the orange-haired boy who become a Substitute Shinigami after unwittingly absorbing Rukia's powers.

 Kisuke Urahara, one who is usually seen as a laid-back, jovial fellow;
but tends towards a deceptively cunning and serious side when the situation warrants it.

 Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, one with light-blue spiky hair as well as light-blue eyes!
Often considered to be Ichigo's rival in terms of personality, and is one of the series' central antagonists.

 Ulquiorra Cifer, a cold, callous, dispassionate figure whose cold demeanor allows him to stay completely calm and in control in most situations. However, he can't seem to comprehend the human trait of fighting against all odds or the very concept of the human heart.

Ok with all the plots aside, Bleach can be really cute and funny at times (which explains why im a girl but i'm with this!)

Ichigo in his tiny cartoon form jumping all around!

and here's him with his trick or treat now that Halloween's round the corner...

now meet Kon the lion phushy who serves as a comedic foil in the series!
He's one of the last Mod-souls created which Ichigo uses to occupy his human body
when he switches to his Shinigami form. With a pervertic nature, Kon often
try to take advantage of his plushy body to get girls to hug him to their chests haha!

So when Kon isn't serving its purpose and is just lying around as a lion plushy,
it is usually treated with little respect and much disdain, sometimes bordering on abuse.
which is why he will go after Ichigo like this! o(╥﹏╥)o :
