Skinny Love

Song of the moment. I love this cover by Birdy. Honest, touching, soothing.

Light & Shadows

Saw someone like you last night. 

Light and shadows chased each other, 

playing hide-and-seek and blurring your features. 

I hesitated. Was it you?

Somehow I found my answer.

Yet I asked myself

Does it matter?

The sight of you, or at least,

somebody who resembled you filled me with such ... joy.

I can't imagine why.

As silly as that may sound to you, a wide grin broke across my face.

A genuine smile that was lost to me until that moment. 

My heart felt so elated, as if freed from some burden.

I realised something else too.

At that instant I finally could bring myself to let go.

So, goodbye.

I'll keep you in my prayers,

and I wish the best for you.

But above all this, I wish you love.

Crossroads. Dim lights. Starry skies.

A beautiful night indeed.

Read a friend's blog posting.

Genuinely surprised at what has been going on.

Happy for her, really!

Go on and take chances, my friend.

You wouldn't know if you never try,
but of course, take it slow and be careful.
You don't want to scare the poor boy away,
do you? :p

Bless you! xD

Forever Alone?

今天我在等巴士时
看到有三个人
在兜售衣服

卖衣服没什么不寻常
只是我望了一眼
见到他们卖的是
黑色T桖

好吧
卖黑色T桖
也没什么啊
反正新年都过了
可以穿黑色、白色了

我再扫一眼
看到T桖上的图案
竟是“Forever Alone”的meme

当然还有“Like A Boss”
等等其他的“款式”
可是说真的
情人节前夕卖这些?!

虽说情人节被商业化
真正的意义也淡化了
但是在这么浪漫开心
的气氛之下
谁想买这样的衣服呀
好像下咒一样

当然有些人
没那么避忌、当真
想买来当个玩笑
我见到几个人跟他们
要联络号码
我呢则记下车牌
纯白色美车
车主应该是左撇子吧
他把手表戴在右手
（全面通缉，呵呵）

最后他们的生意
都不怎么样
很快就撇人

还是得向现实低头呀

哈哈
祝大家情人节快乐
就算你没庆祝都好
（讨厌庆祝也罢）
开开心心地过吧

Adele's Back!

It was last year when I first found out about Adele (yes, the singer). I was in a darkened classroom, along with a dozen or so people, watching a video clip shot by my classmates. The accompanying song was "Rolling in the Deep" and oh my, it blew me away with Adele's powerful and rich vocals.

Adele's songs give me comfort whenever I listen to them, especially so when memories come creeping in uninvited. The lyrics to her songs are meaningful, because you can relate to the situations described therein. She's like a storyteller, weaving her past experiences into her songs and reeling you in like some big fish. Her life story is quite inspiring too. Do check it out when you have the time. 

Although 2011 was said to be Adele's year, she was forced to cancel or postpone shows due to laryngitis and later, vocal cord haemorrhage. 

Adele has recovered and is making a comeback at this year's Grammy Awards. It will be her first live performance after months of rest following her vocal cord surgery. I just can't wait to watch her sing again!

Do you notice the allusion to "Set Fire to the Rain"? xD

壬辰年大年初六

 初六那天，我和一班朋友到谷中城一游。看了《逆战》，觉得还不错。

买了The Gardens里士林台湾小吃的炸鸡排当午餐。超赞！

晚上，我和家人到吉隆坡千禧大酒店的荔晶园与父系亲属聚餐。

吃过这盘点心，我就知道师傅是谁了，

因为去年在堂叔家见过师傅，也尝过他的杰作！

 这一盘是蒸蛋加干贝，味道还好。

烤小羊肉，膻味减到最低，算是最合我意的一道菜了。

本来想在饭后逛柏威年广场，可是夜深了，只好作罢。

星光大道人头攒动，可惜我们无缘参观联合巴迪熊展览。

真的很想去呀！
