Anybardy up for some nice jazz sound? I really like this song by Jill Barber. I like how the notes at the start can so easily capture the listener's heart and it stays in your brain for a long long time. haha. Lovely lyrics too. Feel the love in the air. What a romantic song to sing to your other half.

Never Quit Loving You - Jill Barber

As long as this world
Keeps on spinnin' around
I'll keep hangin' on to this love that I found
I won't let go, cause I know
I have something that is true
And I will never ever quit loving you

There will be days
When you get down
And you've got to find ways to keep your feet on the ground
Oh but honey, please remember
Even when I'm feelin' blue
That I will never ever quit loving you

And crazy times like these (oh woa woa woa)
There's nothing like your love to put my soul at ease
Cause every time you choose to come around
This whole world seems to slow on down
You just keep on huggin' and kissin'
Oh and love me like you do
And I will never ever quit loving you

You just keep huggin' and kissin'
Oh and love me like you do
And I will never ever quit loving you
And I will never ever quit loving you
Never quit loving you
Never quit loving you
Never quit loving you

Have you ever thought about aging? Okay i know its a lil crazy at this age but i do envision myself like when im in my forties. I have this secret fear (not that it's secret anymore) that i will end up as some haggard and pitiful looking aunty, whom people cringe upon seeing. Nothing against aunties i swear, i just wish i will be able to age gracefully. That is an art itself. Haha. I always thought that michelle yeoh does a pretty good job, with the whole aging thingy. She looks great still doesnt she. But she hasnt given birth so i guess it kinda puts off a major part of the aging process.

Recently, i have a new idol. Hahaha. Nah, not really an idol but she's one amazing person. She is blardy 48 this year and can totally pass off as a 30plus. Let's see, she's pretty, yale graduated, nice posture/body, super fit, takes awesome photos, sings and acts well. Is there anything she cant do?! She's like fitter than me at twice my age. She does triathlons, i will probably drown in the swimming segment, faint in the running segment and suffer from major thigh soreness in the cycling segment. Sigh. And she's humbly confident, a plus. But she lies about her shyness cos she is obviously not shy. She presents herself well.

So now i have an "aging" role model. Will i be able to age gracefully? *zooms off to do my crunches* hahaha.

omg its april already! and this is my 3rd post of the year! haha. its gonna be short too since im crazily busy now and i should either be sleeping or doing my slides. so last friday, she came back for her one and only public event in singapore. Before you sigh at how little she appears in singapore, be glad there's an autograph session cos it was squeezed into her schedule. She's actually back for personal reasons. The last album autograph session was 8th April 2007 so she came back within 4 years! haha. She came back on April's fool but nope we didnt prank her. How nice of us right. Should have la but we're afraid she will slap us. haha. Busy was seriously an understatement as we prepared for her return. It feels kinda weird now that its over. Not that im very free now but yeah... I guess putting in effort does pay off in the end. I've got so much to be thankful about this time round. I shall blog in detail my feelings some day. haha. Anw, before i go, does staying low profile do good? That's a general question for all to ponder.

soooo pretty right. loves.

Whee i think playing is short and nice and i shall use it in the new year. Yup so recently i've been hooked onto Die Alone, originally performed by Ingrid Michaelson. But i was first heard this song when Hebe sang it on her music showcase and it left a very deep impression cos of the "but you~" part. She can pull off the zhuan yin part real well but she sang it as "but tew" instead. hahaha. Anyway after the show, i went to google the lyrcis and i think they are very nicely done. The version below is performed by hebe and taken off youtube.

I woke up this morning with a funny taste in my head.
Spackled some butter over my whole grain bread.
Something tastes different, maybe it's my tongue.
Something tastes different, suddenly I'm not so young.

I'm just a stranger, even to myself.
A re-arranger of the proverbial bookshelf.
Don't be a fool girl, tell him you love him.
Don't be a fool girl, you're not above him.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Kiss the boys as they walk by, call me their baby.
But little do they know, I'm just a maybe.
Maybe my baby will be the one to leave me sore.
Maybe my baby will settle the score.

I never thought I could love anyone but myself.
Now I know I can't love anyone but you.
You make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

What have I become?
Something soft and really quite dumb.
Because I've fallen, oh, 'cuz I've fall-fallen, oh 'cuz I've fall-fall-fallen
So far away from the place where I started from.

I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone.
I never thought I could love anyone,
But you, but you, but you, but you, but you
But you make me think that maybe I won't die alone.
Maybe I won't die alone.

Oh yah btw, we havent spoke about what happened at vegas between her and us! It was quite and experience. Shall update sometime, maybe over steamboat? wohoooo.

so this year marks a turning point for me. i can stay the same or i can change. it seems like there's something about being 20+ and being.... okay, i think this shouldnt be discussed in further detail. so how about something interesting to start the new year? I read that AB people dont hide their feelings towards a person. They show it on their face. Before i go, i HAVE TO make this statement, cors bidding never fails to frustrate the students. Booo.

happy new year.

i dont know if its the same ohm but it reminded me of a funny incident.

xxx: hahaha what the hell?! you talk alot to A is it?! how come u all using the same slangs?

that person was shocked and so was i. i didnt even know that someone used that slang.

November doesnt sound inviting at all! BUT the misery of november will only make december even more wonderful.

During my 2 hour nap just now (yes its a nap), I had a funny dream. Waking up to this dream, i realised i havent been dreaming in a while! I cant remember the setting but it was something like a room and i was talking to yz. we were discussing serious stuff, as if we were working on something. Then yj called. She wanted to pass yz something but it seemed like their schedule doesnt fit and they couldnt meet up. So i asked if she needed my help and asked her what was it that yj wanted to pass her. i think it was like some photos, something regarding k and j. she hung up the phone after a while and the conclusion was they would go for dinner together hence she didnt require my help. but she continued talking and actually told me "you're invited at dinner". obviously i gave her the HUH look and i started  to reject since i felt it wouldnt be nice to disturb their dinner. then she turned over and gave me the "duh, just come" look. so i asked her if the invitation was extendable................

and that would be a good point for me to stop and for all imaginations to run wild.

haha. alrighty. gtg. oh but before that i think i shld come up with a deadline list to remind me of my impending death.

I finally bought oxfords and I didnt stop at one. Haha. Had always wanted a pair but hasn't been willing to part with the money. Haha.

But I really love the fit and look when I tried on the black pair. So after struggling for 10 mins (with the shoes on), I decided to get it. The beige pair was bought online so I didn't have the chance to try it on before purchasing. It turned out okay but I'll need to think of how I wanna wear it with my wardrobe.

p.s: I tried on a black jacket too when trying on the black pair of oxfords. They looked awesome tgt! with my scarf, I looked all nice and cosy and ready for winter. Haha.

alrighty back to my books but gotta fill my stomach before that(:

"原来一条马路的距离 有时真的走不过去 可一旦走过去 查理还美不美丽"

Sometimes things do really look better on the outside.

走来走去 会累的 往往事与愿违 是不是红灯亮起了？ 是不是不要过去比较好？
还是其实绿灯根本没亮起过 你只是在一厢情愿的奉献
更可悲的是当你发现这一切都是你情愿做的
so 要不要坚持呢？ 其实也不用放弃 可能换个方式换个角度 事情就变得不一样了
过到一半 很危险 前面有路障耶 那还是回到原点吧

"我想我不会恨你 伤的痕迹 住在我心底变成了秘密"

hold on there, 为什么我每次想要停下来 却有一股莫名其妙的感觉一直推我向前啊？
气~死~我 hahaha.
