Secrets

Hurray for Tiffany's around the world! Don't know if I like this better than the original, but I definitely have a big thing for it!

I Won't GIve Up

Another amazing song by Jason Mraz. Yes I'm a late discoverer - after 11 million other people. I caught the live performance of this on ellen the other day.  Loved the life performance with the girl on the cajon but the lyric video is equally cute :) I love the simplicity of the music, how meaningful and thoughtful the lyrics are and how talented Jason Mraz is. It is actually somehow timely too, a good reminder to me not to give up on those around me especially when times get rough and friendships start to change.



At the end of the day, it really is the music that will cuddle you warm. It's 41 degrees in Perth at the moment and I really don't to it to be any warmer than it already is but how could I resist a good song?

I Got You

  

Monday Muse

Perhaps we can paint the wall outside the window so we have a sunrise ocean view every morning when we wake.

Or would you prefer a sunset with a sailboat and whales in the horizon? 

What about rainbows?

Even together, we probably will never achieve having a $100,000 in our pocket. But we can still dream. And we can be thankful that we have each other for laughs, shoulders to rest on, reassuring hugs, smiles to look forward to, and bedtime stories to remind us of who we are together - a team.

Me. 

Lol... :)

A Thousand Years

This song really does make me want to watch Twilight!

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years

I love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you

Time has brought your heart to mine

I have loved you for a thousand years

I love you for a thousand more

And to the awesome person who introduced the song to me, thank you for always recommending songs! I'm sorry I don't always listen to your suggestions right away but I'm glad to say that I've enjoyed nearly every song that you've made me listen to! Keep the good music and I hope time brings her heart to you :)

Auld Lang Syne

My favorite version of Auld Lang Syne so far.

The song brings back memories of my cousins and I as kids singing this song at midnight as we cheered the new year. While I never really grasped the meaning of the song, when I watched it on New Year's Eve, it brought to my mind and heart, lots of emotions and reflections on the year that had passed and the year that was to begin.

There are a lot of things that I would like to have in 2012 but I reckon I'd be content if I continue to keep my job, continue to have my family by my side and always have good friends to turn to in times of need. This doesn't mean though that 2012 will be without dreams. I'll still continue being dreamy me, wishing for the unrealistic reality and trying to live in it. When you do see me, please do remind me to occasionally look outside my cloud!

2011 has been a rather heartwarming year in many ways for me. Some of the highlights include my trip to Sydney and making amazing friends, graduating from University, celebrating my parents' 25th wedding anniversary, re-joining the CFC community and knowing amazing people, securing my first proper job and making some really amazing friends from work, and being able to be in Singapore to see my grandparents, brother and best friends. Seems like a lot of things were amazing and Perth has been amazing for me! I cannot even begin to think about leaving Perth and this song invokes nostalgia.

The year was not without its struggles, but as I reflect, I cannot seem to remember the emotions that made me cry for hours on end or the frustrations that I experienced while job hunting. I don't feel the heaviness that was there when I had to say goodbye to my brother or the worry when I heard that my grandfather might possibly pass on. Instead, I remember the nights of comforting hugs, the sweet text messages of love and care, the many many many dinners and lunches spent bowled over with laughter with family and friends over jokes, stories and experiences, the smiles of my patients and the adoration of my little kids! I remember the special meals cooked by my mom, the nights spent in family bonding, 2 nights with my brother, the family and friends who have shown me so much love in the past year, I really couldn't give any of you up.

I look forward to time with you in 2012.
