Not here, Again.

To my future.

It's been a rainy day. Lovely weather to curl up in bed and just.. snuggle. I guess?
While the lovebirds of the world do that, my poor lonely self went exploring the pages of the www.

Here are 2 beautiful songs I found today.
I swear, you don't know what you're missing out on if you don't listen to it at least once.
I've been listening to them on repeat!

This one is called Gentlemen Don't by Gabe Bondoc.

This one's called The One by Gabe Bondoc as well.

Scarlet letter

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around.

2 sides

What a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song!
She's Sara Wee from 53A. They play regular gigs around town.
Great stuff.

sc says: wait
sc says: im cracking my brain just for a personal display message for you
//*drea say: Hahahahaaa
//*drea says: You're the lamb and Im the lion know?
//*drea says: ROAR
sc says: lol
sc says: (meeeeehhhhhhh)
//*drea says: HAHAHAHAHAHA

In case there are readers here who haven't tuned into the whole Edward/Bella saga (Read: Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn), there's that line which Drea is somewhat crazy over about how the lion fell in love with the lamb.

(This whole entry is gonna spoil the story for you if you've yet to read the books.)

And I suppose if you've read up to the very last page, where Bella manages to control her shield and allow Edward to see every preserved memory she has of him (those few minutes worth at least); how much she loves him, how that will never change. That made me think about Drea casually summarising our relationship that way, the whole lion and lamb theory, I guess it sort of is quite true? Haha.
Hear me out for a second, I mean, maybe, just maybe, I have this shield see, and I never let her see what she means to me. If only I had super powers now. That would make things easier now, wouldn't it? Haha.
Oh well, just some random thought. Makes good entry material eh? Hah!

By the way, I guess I should have mentioned this earlier. Lol.
Drea's display was/is "& so the lion fell in love with the lamb".
And mine now says "i feel a weakness coming on, never felt so good to be so wrong".

Love,
S.C.

Song for the moment

2009-03-19T06:50:10Z

You gotta swim, swim for your life
Swim for the music that saves you
When you're not so sure you'll survive
You gotta swim, swim when it hurts
The whole world is watching
You haven't come this far to fall off the earth

The currents will pull you
Away from your love
Just keep your head above

I found a tidal wave begging to tear down the door
Memories like bullets, they fired at me from a gun
Cracking me open now
I swim to brighter days despite the absence of sun
Choking on salt water, I'm not giving in
You gotta swim

Drea says just WHACK only.

2009-03-11T10:13:19Z

Hello again familiar place.

I was once so skeptic about the (I-once-thought) highly over-rated Twilight saga.
But I guess the whole series has started growing on me ever since the near end of New Moon.
I'm FINALLY on the last book now. But I don't know how long I'll take to finish given my somewhat seemingly slack but actually busy schedule these days.

Well onto something else, we caught Watchemen yesterday. I say, the people who lived back then before us got it all right.
They knew what was coming and they sure knew how the world worked. Although it was adapted from a comic, I think it couldn't be more accurate!
As the saying goes, "the enemy of your enemy is your friend."
As such, the unknowing friendship was forged between Jacob and Edward.

Oops.
There I go now, letting myself get ahead with the whole Edward/Bella whirlwind.

Lastly,
My WoW character Danthae HAS FINALLY REACHED NORTHREND!

I think I just lost any reader I thought I had with that sentence.
Hahahahahahahaha.

Alright now,
This is where I stop.

Of the very least.

2009-02-16T02:44:20Z

I took a walk down memory lane
I saw the dust that had settled
Wiped them off and found scars left behind
Interestingly enough, the dust won't ever disappear
They just float around in the air
Looking for another time, another place, to settle
Soon enough, sure enough
They will.

One day when I have the courage, I will
I will write the songs that I've wanted to sing
Those that I've been dying for you to hear
Whether to my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my friends, or to all in one,
That song will find a voice.

Please, don't try to understand this.
:)

I will never bloody understand how the female brain works.
I will never understand it because I have a bimbotic brain as well.
And I will never understand it because the mind and the heart never speak in sync.
Because we never truly say what we feel,
Or even because when we want to say something, the words come out differently.

In any case, I will never understand.
But, I will try.
So help me God.

Anyway,
I realised I haven't blogged much since.. God-knows-when. Heheh.
So much has happened, so much to re-visit.
Last I want to remember is Melee and Boys Like Girls.

Oh well. That's just the way life is.
One last totally random thing,
I think I need a massage!

Twisting these words

2009-01-20T16:02:29Z

I can't quite pin point this feeling.
But, I don't like it.

Because

2008-09-13T18:01:53Z

Because the (self-declared) princess has asked me to blog
Because my blog has been so stale
Because we're at home (separately)
Because she's sick
Because she just started work
Because we'll be going Bangkok in November
Because we've been wanting to plan a trip together
Because we never seem to spend enough time together (so I think)
Because Bedok Reservoir and Bukit Panjang is not exactly near
Because I got my new car and yet I'm home early this whole weekend
Because I care about her well being
Because she needs to recuperate

So many reasons/excuses I could name out,
not one seems to be able to justify the distance (physically) between us now.

"Because you said so."

Words

2008-08-25T15:37:00Z

often in time those words get tangled up in lines
and the bright light turns to night
until the dawn it brings a little bird to sing about the magic
that was you and me

not so little you and I anymore

Viva La Vida

2008-08-19T10:59:08Z

In all honesty, this blog was created when I was at a transitional stage (read: when I was single).
Hence, now that I'm all tied up with work, my mum's work, and Drea (well, not so much her. She basically sleeps all day so it's okay.), I don't have any time left to blog.

Whatever I time I have left seems to disappear as fast as I spend money.
They usually disappear simultaneously, now that I think of it.
Haha.

Yet with so little spare time left, I don't know why I still always feel so bored.
Okay now all I'm left with is a non conclusive entry which was more a less a waste of time.

Hah.

I'm gonna get killed for this anyway.

2008-05-14T08:30:07Z

Hahahaha!

I would caption this picture: Punk Rock Princess! And I can be your Rock and Roll King. (As sung by Something Corporate)

Haha.Okay so I bought a new camera, semi-automatic, totally on impulse while we were at the plaza the other day. But it was so cheap! $359 for a semi automatic! Lucky for me, Silly wasn't exactly against the idea.
Well I also kinda want to buy a new pair of spectacles, but god that's gonna cost me almost 700 bucks. Hahah!

Okay so now that I've spent about 10minutes doing up this blog entry, it's time to decide, watch online videos? Or WoW?
Hmmmmmm...
Life is so full of tough decisions. Ha! (Don't kill me!)

Still there.

2008-04-13T13:00:09Z

Okay, so I've been missing a little bit. Haha.
Well, this month's been very busy. Very.

Hopefully after this month, I'll have more time for alot more things.
Drea's birthday is coming. (Whoopee for her.) We have yet to decide what to do for her birthday.
But the tentative plan (in our all assuming manner) is that we be clubbing, yo.

The next series of pictures will testify as proof of how busy I am.
By that I mean, busy to the extent that I was back at work on a Saturday afternoon.
Well, I think it's safe to say (for now) that I'm very much happy with my new 24 inch iMac.
=)

Pass, past, and missed.

2008-03-17T15:28:46Z

As said earlier, photos!

And on Friday, we met Jillene at the Esplanade to test her new professional camera flash, (note: Holga Vs. her D-SLR) which was.. quite eventful. Turns out the ceilings at the Esplanade were not in our favour for her to test her new flash so we stayed and watch Olivia (can't remember her surname) perform.

Oh before I forget, you guys should check out this Italian (I think) restaurant at the Esplanade called Al Dente. Quaint little restaurant facing the hawker at the Esplanade. Well, we had a pretty damn good (and costly) meal there. 'Cause Drea was craving for pasta. So... we settled there. She had the Bolognaise, as usual, and I tried the Spaghetti Arragosta in creamy garlic sauce. Damn, the pasta was good. That's our take on it of course. And to top it off, we finished the meal with a Macademia Scented Crème brulee. Well as long as she enjoyed it. Unfortunately, we were so hungry we didn't take any pictures before we started eating. Haha!

Okay we need to head to bed now. Blog again soon!
Pictures!

Wake up calls.

Hahahaha. Guess someone's awake now!

By the way, the short hiatus on this blog was mainly due to a few reasons.
Here goes:

1. Silly has been staying over alot and we've been busy. Especially since her sister is officially flying alot now. We've been shuffling between Bukit Panjang - Town - Bedok Reservoir - (occasionally the airport) - Town - Bukit Panjang. Doesn't help that the petrol consumption on this car is like.. whacked. And that the petrol pricing just can't stay within the 'affordable' region. My so far closeted case of road rage has begun errupting in little outbursts (Drea can vouch for that). Haha! Sometimes I just start cursing. Uh huh! (I sense that I'm drifting off my main focus here.)

2. Ms Leong (aka up and coming famous person)
-
( This space is still saved for your first review. Scan and post, yep!)
-

3. My long awaited Holga has finally arrived! We collected it yesterday. Gonna go take pictures tonight! Fort Canning and the assplanade.

4. Mahjong has taken over.
Seriously.

Haha.

Okay,
Next entry, photos (and a review)! I promise!

A little too much too little too soon too long to wait.

2008-02-27T10:49:56Z

I have so many things I wanna do for my room, but I never get round to doing it.
So today I finally drew up a sketch of a new layout for my room.
Bear with me, how much can I do with such a small space. Oh well.

This is my before (I mean current) layout:

This is gonna be my after (hopefully) layout:

I know, I know, it looks like I was just doodling.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

But more importantly, I seriously cannot wait for my Holga to be here. Thanks to Silly of course.
=)

Okay one last footnote.
I need to go tanning.
Damn it.

Xoxo,
Your friendly neighborhood lazy stranger.

The things people do.

2008-02-18T10:55:27Z

This is damn hilarious!

And one hardcore Britney fan fights back. (Note, it's a guy)

Hahahahaha!
Hollywood, dear Hollywood.

In other news,
I've so hopped onto the Prison Break 3 and American Idol bandwagon.

Eeeeks!

One for the road, just for the record.

2008-02-06T11:20:19Z

As I'm sure you guys would have read Drea's blog, steamboat and all turned out well.
Thank you for all those who wished me, those who helped, those who offered, and those who came.

And I don't know why I feel this strong sense of wanting to say this, but hell,
I don't know how I could have lived through the past 23 years of my life without you.
Lately, whenever you're around, I find myself smiling until my cheek muscles hurt.
This is for all the times I was nonchalant and for all the little things I may have brushed aside.
I think I might need to be near you.
=)

Ridiculously mushy!

But, it's okay, at least you guys know we're all happy, right?!?!?
Haha!

Okay, before the long holiday sets in,
Happy Lunar New Year to everyone!

This Friday

2008-01-30T15:30:38Z

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL OF YOU GUYS THIS FRIDAY!
=)

Because She said so.

2008-01-26T13:51:10Z

We went out for a good Saturday morning/afternoon brunch today.
Because we went to Zouk last night and I promised my silly before I went to sleep that I would bring her to have a good meal this morning.
So, we woke up around 2plus this afternoon and decided to head out to Corduroy & Finch for a quick brunch.
I'm gonna feed her 'til she's fat.
=)

She was very, very hungry.

That's the see through 'Food Aquarium' which slightly hides the kitchen. Very nice concept.

I.. Don't know what I was thinking when I shot this.

The milkshakes were really good.

Grilled Chicken Breast, Scallops, Prawns in Garlic Sauce, Roast Beef and Grilled Asparagus.

Grilled Cod Fish! The only fish my silly takes.

Okay, the food was not fantastic. But I would want to go back there to try the sandwiches, waffles, and deserts.

And for dinner, I went down to Ang Mo Kio Street 22 for the infamous Mell Benn Crab Bee Hoon Soup.
That was damn good.

Right now, I just feel like taking a bath and then head to sleep.
BUT, it's Saturday night, and I want to see my girlfriend.
=)

Lastly, I'd just like to say that my girlfriend is really damn cute.
Here's proof. She was so excited to play with the bloody rooster/chicken we saw outside the retaurant.

Okay baby please don't kill me later.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

TGIF

2008-01-25T08:05:18Z

I have finally got my Nokia handphone back, i.e. after a record-breaking (2nd January to 24th January) 22 days wait.
Crazy or crazy? Crazy.

Anyway, today is a good day.
I can feel it.

We're bringing my brother shopping later. Yay!
He's gonna be soooo broke. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

This weekend is gonna be burned just like that. Tonight will be with my brother. Tomorrow will be my Grandpa's 80th birthday dinner. Then comes Sunday. So fast!

Oh and, my birthday is coming.
What should I do?
=(

The R(andom) Word

2008-01-10T03:36:17Z

Wow, this is the pioneer post of 2008 and I can't believe I'm gonna talk about what I'm gonna talk about.

Haha.

Anyway, going into 2008 reminded me of checking out for new seasons of the series/shows I was following.
Example: One Tree Hill, The L Word.

So, I surfed around and managed to navigate myself to the L Word fansite (www.l-word.com), and I realized that season 5 is out! Yay!
I know what I'll be doing tonight. I wonder if there are any hot new characters inside. Hahahahahahahahahahaha.
I only wish they'd bring back Carmen from season 3. Sarah Shahi. Mmmmmmhmmmmmm.

I guess I'll blog again later. I shall go find out if One Tree Hill is gonna be airing anytime soon or whether it was entirely dropped.
Eeks.

Oh! And,
I HATE NOKIA. If i ever buy another Nokia handphone (which is highly probable), PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE try to stop me.

I sent my phone in for repair since last Wednesday and I've yet to hear from them. After numerous calls, they said yesterday that someone would give me a call today to go down and collect. Let's see how that turns out. So much for over the counter formalities and "your phone will be ready within 3-5 business days". Curse you Nokia!

Sony Ericsson, please come out with nice designs, Motorola, please have some better functional phones.

That being said, I certainly am looking forward to my birthday!
I can't wait to be twent-tee-three.
I want a place of my own, a car, lots of money, and all the pleasures money can bring! HAHAHA!

Epilogues and Prologues

2007-12-31T08:12:19Z

My futile and random attempts at artistic photography.

Then we go back to our usual selves taking random photos.

I love happy pictures.

Well well, here comes another one.
Another hit, another miss?
Let's hope this year is better.
I am definitely looking forward to the new year.

Here's to the nights (of fun, alcohol, and nonsense)!

Hide and Seek

2007-12-20T17:48:10Z

The best Nachos you'll ever find. (In my opinion, that is.)
That was so totally random. Haha!

By the way, I know this may come as a late comment but we've finally watched Two Days In Paris. And as everyone has said, it is a good movie. It's really one that I think almost everyone could relate to. Worth watching before it ends its run. Oh! And the comedy in the movie is somewhat refreshing.
:)

There's something about the way the hair falls on your face,
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase,
You tell me where to go and, though I may leave to find it,
I'll never let your head touch the bed, without my hand behind it.
