Christina Perri – A Thousand Years (Credits here)

(Verse 1)
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

(Verse 2)
Time stands still
Beauty I know she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

(Chorus)
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ don’t be afraid,
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

And all along I believed
I would find you
Time has brought
Your heart to me
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I’ll love you for a
Thousand more

Another year;

Yet another sleepless night, well almost. Too much thoughts lingering on one’s mind, akin to playing ping pong games. Tired and drained; it’s tough to want so much but yet all you can have is that little. Quoting a line from Edward Cullen in the first instalment of Twilight (yes I know, of all movies right?)…

“You’re everything that I want, and everything that I can’t have…”

Sometimes, all the dreams that I want to make plans for, they all seemed too faraway. Out of sight, yet still in the mind. Very lost…

//edited…

• Get my priorities right (to remind self over and over again ‘cos I realised it helps)
• Do not let ____ affect my emotions
• Live life and laugh
• Don’t stop having dreams, and start making plans
• Setting aside time for myself and family (guilt trip made around my mind about this, ok make that two guilt trips)
• Cease the negative feelings
• Brush off the depressing vibes readily

Am I feeling better? Not really, but at least the mind’s clearer.

When shades of blues are appreciated; Love Bonito Taia Kate Dress in Cobalt and Amelie-Anne Sienna Jersey Dress in Rich Blue

First day back to work for a new year, any thoughts/reflections you may ask? Well, let’s just say it wasn’t a good start but we’re all hoping for a smoother week ahead. Shit happened always, as shared by my colleague, the only issue now is to deal with it.

Dear bestie Gwen dropped me a Whatsapp message to check out my day, and gave me tons of encouraging statements. Since I know I’ll be here for a period of time, I should suck thumb and make the best out of it eh? Rather than wallowing in despair everyday, why not take each obstacle as a stepping stone so that the next journey would be made easier? Having said so much, I think it’s really so much easier said than done T.T

Nonetheless, I’m thankful for the phone calls from mommykins and the messages from Stan, earlier during work today. They pushed me through end of work day, and comforted me a little. Stan’s mom gave us this Indon cake, which I really can’t wait to try it out! =) Thank yousss*

By the way, here’s the link to MYnt’s latest collection –  http://mynt-shop.livejournal.com/102295.html! <3

That aside, these are a couple of backdated loots that I had received. Pending reviews of the much-raved Love, Bonito Covet Walsh Top in Black, and others as well. For a head-start, here’s one from Amelie-Anne and Love, Bonito !

Sienna Jersey Dress in Rich Blue
The Label Love, manufactured by Amelie-Anne

A simple-cut dress that could transcend from a day to night outfit, if you would to ask me I paired it up with SMooch Goldie Obi Belt and MYnt-Shop Waterfall Necklace. It comes with a matching sash as well, but I prefer to jazz it up with a contrasting belt! Material wise, it’s really comfortable and it comes with lining as well, a plus point in my opinion. At S$28 shipped, I think it’s so worth it!

———————————

Of course, the highly raved Love, Bonito Taia Kate Dress in Cobalt

I bought it in Size M for this piece, and paired it up with MYnt-Shop Waterfall Necklace for this review. Loving the colour very much and the length is just right, but a pity that it felt kinda snug on my wide (flat) chest, so I let it go. That being said… The material is, as raved by many others, very well-worth the money spent and I think it succeeds many boutique pieces. Now, this piece belongs to a dear owner – Solemate

Back to reality and work tomorrow, FIGHTING yo!

Good night – xoxo, Noi.

Google your name today!

Out of curiosity or rather boredom, I Google-d my name for fun and chanced upon quite a number of sites that I wasn’t aware of myself being listed there. Here are some links to share,

- an article that I have written for CozyCot: http://cn.cozycot.com/article/de-cluttering-starting-anew.html,

- a video of myself at the CozyCot 100 Most Inspiring Real Women in Singapore 2011 Chippendales Event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0abQ0Bhqr8U (my face was looking darn swollen in the video, poof), and

- many other links to press releases as well as features in launch events etc.

Try Google-ing your name today! ; ) You may stumble upon something interesting which you had never known, and if you did manage to find something, share your link here : ) I would love to hear about it too!

x, out.

The simplest things in life could mean…

1. Having dinner with the family, especially when every member has their own commitments – school or work.
2. Enjoying some TV time together with the family.
3. Being able to slow the pace of life and enjoy every single little thing that revolves around you. 
4. Having hawker food, alot, all under S$20.
5. Receiving words of appreciation for your hard work.
6. Sharing love and care with someone.
7. Having your love to wake up early just to spend time with you, even if it meant just one hour.
8. Going for mini shopping trips with mommy and sister.
9. Appreciating nature, very much on the beach…

Redang – I wanna see you soon!
