Westlife wearing batik

Where has this photo been whole my life?

Ok, it's not real. But who says we can't make it real? 
Brb, going to post office, sending Kian a batik shirt.

Keep SHANE on!

Shane Filan from Westlife is coming to Singapore!
He's been doing a promotional tours, just going for interviews with local TV and radio channels.
Oh how I miss the Irish sweetness!

Here's one of the interviews he went on:

At minute 4.23, Shane said that the song My Love reminds him of Singapore.
BUT, SHANE! That song reminds me of Ireland. That's literally my Ireland anthem.

See, we have connection there.

Somehow.

Funny how life works. My Ireland song reminds Shane of Singapore. I don't know if I should cry or laugh.

A message from Unicorn Rockstar

Got a magical message from a Unicorn Rockstar the other day. Would be a shame if I don't share it.

(verse 1)
pain is forever, I feel it everyday
don't you get it boo?
i try to talk to but the words won't say
help me to help you boo

(bridge)
netflix is forever
illegally watching it to get over
youuu

(chorus)
i eat the food you left in the fridge
i turned the TV on but can't find the switch
you don't love me so i'm going to the bridge
to find the map to you heart i need a hitch

(verse 2)
i stalk you hard on your websites
trying to be romantic but i don't feel right
do you know how it feels like boo?
to love a love that don't love me, boo

(bridge)
netflix is forever
illegally watching it to get over
chuuuuu

(chorus)
i eat the food you left in the fridge
i turned the TV on but can't find the switch
you don't love me so i'm going to the bridge
to find the map to you heart i need a hitch

Birthday wish

To somebody who owns her own world. 
To somebody who’s intelligent yet insane. 
And quoting Vincent van Gogh, "however meaningless and vain, however dead life appears, the man of faith, of energy, of warmth.. steps in and does something and hangs on to that." 

2017 must have a hard year for you but never forget the sweet memories too. 
You are your own wonder woman. 
The millennial Viking that survives the apocalypse of heartbreak. 
Life is full of uncertainty. 
Uncertainty is like opening your eyes wide in the dark then closing them hard and then opening them again just to be blinded by the sparkling silver dots created from pressure on the corneas. 
Squint, roll, focus, then you’re blind again. 
But, at least you saw the light somehow. 

I'm going a bit off track right now but here I am wishing you a calming day. 
You're the friend I never asked for but a God's send. 
Thank you for being my thunder in the storm.

xoxo, 
Your Rockstar

I have a tweenage sister (TS) who told me before that she liked Justin Bieber. I almost cut off ties with her, except I still need her to get me water once in a while.
THEN my brother introduced her Taylor Swift. NOT the first few albums, but the "Look What Made Me Do" Taylor Swift. I almost cut ties with him, except we never meet anyway since he lives in Bangkok.

But this week, when I was home my TS asked me:

TS: Do you know Imagine Dragons?
Me: Yeah, I'm a big fan. Why?
TS: I like their new song *played "Believer" on her mobile phone*
Me: Oooh... my baby sister...

Forlorn

-Alexander the Great

When I die, I will donate my body for a university or a hospital. You know, for research purposes.

But I still want a funeral.

But instead of my body, the coffin should be filled with glitter. And that's how I will live forever.

"What if"

Some people say, the saddest phrase in this life is "what if".

What if we didn't take that chance?

What if we did take that chance but it turns out bad?

What if we loved, but lost?
What if we never loved?

From: We_Are_Ragnar

We'll never know. Nobody can know.

Hephaistion said: Greatness comes to those who take and never regret.

To be great, or simply to have what we want, we must be willing to lose something.

But Alexander replied: All greatness comes from loss.

In this life, it's all a mere balance of getting and letting go.

So take that chance. 

Lose that love.      Love that lost.

It's ok to lose something.

It's ok to regret something.

But don't hold on to it.

"Don't waste your time looking back.

You're not going that way."

"Life is just death in slow motion."

- Lewis Black, Comedy Central UK
