Smile and the whole world smiles with you

Pic from Instagram awwclub

The past week or month has been pretty choppy.. 

My beloved partner said she was going to say Byebye to me. 

I fell sick a first time in a long time. 

I gotten sore throat, fever and ear infection. 

When the first news hit me it was really bad cause its just hard for me to say goodbye to people especially people I really have come to learn like a cherish 

Lucky no one reads my blog so I can be as sentimental as I wanna be. Hahah 

Writing this at close to 5am I must be crazy. I had a minor asthma attack at around 2pm had medicines and waited quite awhile for it to settle. 

Only thing good about this month was Mayday's concert. 

Life has been a roller coaster. Though I'm very sure I'm not looking forward o the beginning of next month I guess come what may. Shall take it as it comes. Give me a smooth sailing journey instead of a roller coaster ride next month pls. 

For now ill tell myself smile and the whole world smiles with you. :)

sometimes the words that was never meant to, poke the hardest.

The people in the outside world say there is alot of things right and alot of things flawed about our education system. I agree with some and disagree with some. Most of it I don't really remember.

Mostly what I don't really agree with is what one of my most beloved primary school teacher used to say. "You must study hard and be successful in life. You don't want to be the road side sweeper or the person selling macdonald"
*NOTE: I Do NOT look down nor despise any of these professions, i dare say they are essential to our livelihood as much as anyone else might disagree with me on this. If you do, then fine, imagine a world where you clean your own neighbourhoods, office, corridors etc. Not really liking it eh, then yes, they deserve more respect then you know. And by the way, some Macdonald's managers do earn a very decent amount i'm sure.

I'm sure her bottom line was just to make us work harder for our PSLE, in my time since a young age we were inculcated to know that failure was not an option. That was not my personal motto of course cause i always believed in as long as you do your best, you are able to face yourself. Till date i can tell myself that i can't look back and say if only i've tried harder because i know i try harder than anyone else  (no i don't dare to claim that) and even if i didn't do as well as i hope i did put in my best, and sometimes with luck or without luck, your best is not enough. But at least in your conscience, i didn't not try hard enough.

That being said I still take failure or rather big mistakes lah, not every mistake is a failure ( like that, life too bitter already. haha) as a personal downfall? injury? I don't know how to put it, but it's a jab to my pride because i do everything to my best and letting that happen is only like a slap in the face.

They taught me everything but in what I feel forgot to teach us that failure and mistakes are part and parcel of life. Big of small, accept them with graciousness. I am learning. 

Of course i do know that when you do something wrong you have to learn to admit it and say sorry and make amendments. But i guess in Asian culture (or maybe every culture but Asian more strongly) even if you have done everything right, no one might notice appreciate or praise you (suck it up, it's pretty normal in an asian context. lol) but once you create a black spot in the clean sheet of paper everyone will remember you for it. Even i myself don't let myself forget mistakes i make easily, it haunts me from time to time. Well, in all bad there must be something positive right?

And an innocent enough yet potent message strike right to the heart.
"Don't take it personally"
I'm actually a pretty slow witted person sometimes, and what i don't know won't kill me...i got the hint but wasnt bright enough to figure it out fully. 

but if people put it out this way to me to actually be very nice about it, it will back fire on me...I am weird like that. I mean the other party is being very objective and nice but like telling a crying person dont cry the person might just sob a bucket more. Haa. But I am thankful because it was a good thought from you:) 

sometimes the words that was never meant to, poke the hardest. 

Of course, if i turn around to look at it from a different angle, it has in fact taught me a lesson as to how i can better manage myself in that situation or what i can do if i meet the same situation or even how i can minimise avoid that situation. Yes, the pride is sore, but when you make a mistake be prepared for a lesson. I did and i was sorry. But i bash myself up alot sometimes. ( i wonder if its an asian thing or just me. ill never really say or show it but inside i slap myself..haha...o the visuals) Sometimes i think i have too much pride for my own good or take too much pride for the things i do, but then again I don't think it's a bad thing. I think? Double edged sword.

Papa once said "I believe that everyone who goes to work wants to do a good job, nobody goes in wanting to do a bad job."

I wasn't 100% sure of what he was saying, but he was relating this to his new staff/interns about their lack of skills and proficiency or something in that sense, but they tried, and even when they give him rubbish (maybe not, maybe just not as up to standard) he didn't scold them cause that was what he believed in. *beams at papa who say that sentence*

It's true i guess so that's where the pride comes from, not the over achiever 'hao lian' act yi ge very smart too good for other people kinda pride, i'm pretty sure i'm not such a person.

Appreciation to me is what the other party needs to feel, it should never be left to a situation where it is cold, unfeeling, hard and rigid. Tell me what i should like you for.

Then wouldn't it defeat the whole purpose...?

Mayday's new song just in time for Concert! 五月天[傷心的人別聽慢歌（貫徹快樂）]

Wheeeee! :) Mayday has a new song...

This new song is done up for Coca cola (with them being the new ambassadors in the line with Taiwan's two big soft drink brands fighting for top talents to endorse their brands) and also to be a theme song for the Nowhere concert. Which will be landing in Singapore this Friday and Saturday. I'm going for the Saturday's one. Could have easily gone for the Friday's one and have a once in a lifetime meet and greet session, but I shall not harp on that because i ain't going and discussing makes me feel pretty bummed out.

This week has been nothing but horrible, so I really hope it starts to pick up, please? I need it. For now i'll let it be known that 傷心的人別聽慢歌, so i'll share you you their new upbeat song instead. Here you go, your welcome. lol.

伤心的人别听慢歌(贯彻快乐)

作词：五月天 阿信

作曲：五月天 阿信

你哭的太累了 你伤的太深了
你爱的 太傻了
你哭的就像 是末日要来了 OH~ OH~

所以你听慢歌 很慢很慢的歌
听得 心如刀割
是不是应该 换一种节奏了 OH~ OH~

不要再问 谁是对的 谁是错的
谁是谁非 谁又亏欠谁了
反正错了 反正输了
反正自己 陪自己快乐


我不管 你是谁的 谁是你的 我是我的
让心跳 动次 动次 动次 动次 感觉活着

我不管 站着坐着 躺着趴着 都要快乐
让音乐 动次 动次 动次 动次 快要聋了

不管了 不想了 不等了 不要不快乐
伤心的人 别听慢歌


人生分分合合 爱情拉拉扯扯
一路 曲曲折折
我还是期待 明日的新景色 OH~ OH~

愤青都释怀了 光棍都恋爱了
悲剧 都圆满了
转载来自 魔镜歌词网 
每一段争执 都飞出和平鸽 OH~ OH~

不要再问 谁是对的 谁是错的
谁是谁非 谁又亏欠谁了
反正错了 反正输了
反正自己 陪自己快乐

我不管 你是谁的 谁是你的 我是我的
让心跳 动次 动次 动次 动次 感觉活着
我不管 站着坐着 躺着趴着 都要快乐
让音乐 动次 动次 动次 动次 快要聋了

不管了 不想了 不等了 不要不快乐
伤心的人 别听慢歌


我不管 你是谁的 谁是你的 我是我的
让心跳 动次 动次 动次 动次 感觉活着
我不管 站着坐着 躺着趴着 都要快乐
让音乐 动次 动次 动次 动次 快要聋了

不管了 不想了 不等了 此时和此刻
不得不去 贯彻快乐

不管了 不想了 不等了 不要不快乐
伤心的人 别听慢歌

...

Now go be happy. 

It's Thursday!

One day to the weekend!

Wongfu Productions 10 years of inspiration - Thank you. #Wongfu10yrs

lilalienations: re-edited in (after i finished writing): i wanted this to be a more sentimental post, but realised my writing skills have detiorated badly. and it's just me being excited and nostalgic but not really putting it down beautifully just plainly and raw-ly (if that is even a word! :P) Skip to the end for a better written dedication, o-how-i-cheat. LOL Xp :P
..........................................................................................................................................

In other news. I splurged a lil over $150 on areyouaniceguy.com because they are having a 15% off promo (now you know. go. your welcome) haha. To be fair. Not all of the purchase were mine, some were friends', some were gifts. hehe. whose issit? :D

this was the root of all evil...

lol. 

It ends 9th June midnight PST. did a quick check and it's probably our local time of Monday morning?

So you still got some time to snag some goods! though i'm sure non of us are graduates. heh. :P

And so, i've been wanting to write this post since i saw that tweet. 

this tweet led up to it. but it didn't spark me to write this post. 

 this tweet did it. 

i realised 10 years. wait. what. no. 

10 years?!

How could it have been that long already. 

Then thinking of it...yea. it is right. the math does sum up correctly. 

http://lilalien-lala.blogspot.sg/2007/03/wong-fu-productions.html

This was the post when i first got to know of them and were checking out their vids in that year. it's been 6-7 years of support?:)

 I first caught the now widely crazily popular Wongfu productions when i was studying in RP. It was introduced to me by Rachel whom i seldom keep in contact with now. But i am always grateful she shared those one video with me. 

because, that one video pretty much inspired my whole life afterwards. (ok it sounds very "ahh magical" right now. lol)

You must be thinking 3 guys and a camera shooting a video, inspire? 'pffft. you are just fangirling cause they are cute.'

I AM NOT. 

*glares at you*

yes in my previous post i did sound like a fangirl of sorts. sometimes *shifty eye*lol 
but I sincerely admire their works. 

Even when they were still students, yes. I totally watched all their pre-"we are capable and famous now"Wongfupro days. 

You can catch the old vids here - it was on phil's own youtube channel then. That is how old it is. 

It was for your first final year project. To gain some inspiration and techniques we were just watching what other students could do. The 'other's so happened to be Wong Fu productions, they were students like us too. Without a clue and with RP's teaching methods, we were left to our own aces to find out how things were done. Why couldn't i learn from Steven Speilberg's film you say? Let's just put it, we should always compare apples with apples and even then we weren't really apples to begin with. 

And we made our feature film "June" it was not too bad, we got a B. hahaha. but that's not the point.  Yes, so before you label me as a fangirl, i proudly dismiss that label and say I only admire people with standards and as with Mayday (my ever so beloved band) Wong Fu productions is the only other group that i dare say I am a "Fan" of. 

in case you were interested, this was the first of the many Wongfu videos to come. 

Rewatching now to realise, hey that's Wes! With a whole different kind of attitude. lol. 

And if you all know me, one of my go to happy songs is Sunday Morning. I loved that song because Phil did it as a school project and i used to watch it alot because it cheered me up. (Honestly it was a cheesy happy kinda old vid. but hey. it was not too bad for a student vid!) Wanted to share but....I can't find the video! Has it been taken down? I couldn't find it all over youtube, for a moment i thought i was honestly hallucinating....

Til I remember that I do post stuff i like to share and Wongfu productions has 19 labels in my blogposts history...heh heh. 

http://lilalien-lala.blogspot.sg/2007/07/wong-fu-productions-part-3.html

so this was the post which featured that video, which unfortunately now has been taken down and changed to private thus not being able to find it. 

10 Years is a long time, I remember writing an post about Mayday's 10 years too. :) Each person has probably an average of 8 Ten Years in their life and to make awesomeness out of nothing to share with the world - growing up and older in this period of time there is a certain kind of unseen bond. People come and go, idol groups come and go too, only the substantial will stay, and especially without the 'power of mainstream media' as some might say, it is one huge feat. 

While I was still sourcing for jobs I remember filling in an application and it wrote:

Name an inspiration / a person that inspires you most. Or something along those lines....

I truthfully wrote Wong Fu productions, I realised that maybe they wanted people to pretend to be very knowledgeable and write something like Bill Gates or Stever Jobs because it sounds better and really important and most importantly everyone knows them. ( I honestly don't remember which job that was, i wasn't employed btw. lol)  Sticking true to my guns (plus i wasn't thinking and being naive and honest) i thought carefully and cited "WONG FU PRODUTIONS" in that category because  I really loved photography, images, videos and storytelling and because of them i learn to always hold these true and close to me. They taught me that, we can start out from ground zero, but still get somewhere because substance (yes with a little luck) does get you there. Even if "there" isn't fame, it is a satisfaction that no one else will ever understand. #truestory. :)

So if that question were to appear again. yes. I will still write that. and if the interviewee or hr person doesn't like that. you just lost and honest hardworking person to be yo. hahaha. (now where did all that confidence come from? if only i always have this much confidence!)

I like to grow up with people in my life, family of course. Friends and "Idols" growing up with people like this means you see them change with time, some for better some for worse, some just fade out of your life altogether. So for those who are still bright and clear it's always very heart warming to learn that we have just 'grew up' together. (even though technically speaking, i'm just watching the vids) But as mention earlier, it's an awesome bond. And even though I like someone online on tv, I am very afraid to meet these people I like in real life, because i always have this fear that what if after so many years of liking them, it turns out that i really dislike their real life personality when i meet them in flesh. 

The first time I went to mayday's concert, I was so afraid i would go home disappointed. No siree! I was hungry for more! So that was good. Then it was the meet and greet with WFP (Phil and Wes, no ted:( ) I was again worried, what if they are snobbish in real life or really haughty? *gasp the horror*

i overuse this shot alot. but it's my only one! haha. 

I totally enjoyed that night with Ann nee :) Granted, i do not know their 'real personality' if you are digging deep into my words and finding loopholes with it. T-T why you do that? I meant, the meet and greet session went really well, and after leaving as with a Mayday concert it's just like I know i gotta support them all the way man!

And that to me is a confirmation with stamp chop and approval from my inner 'brain? self? heart?' that this people are officially in my list of "in the many years to come, let's grow up and old" together.  (this works with friends too, it's like letting a person into your inner circle to see you 'you'.AM I SOUNDING CREEPY? or senseless?T-T i hope not. but if you understand me. I hope that just made sense, my best buds would know, I tell them this all the time. :)

...

So. and before i end of my post for tonight at 3.38am ( i blog at way too crazy timings) let me start in proper with my #WongFu10yrs thank yous. 

Though they will never see it but appreciation and encouragement is a unseen force which gives alot of positive energy unknowingly, so i would still like to say. 

CONGRATULATIONS WES, TED & PHIL! :)

Happy 10 Years Anniversary! 

Wong Fu Productions ROCKs SOX!

youtube fanfest 2013 Singapore - ytff day one and day two

YouTube FanFest 2013 in Singapore was dope! (can't use that cause i'm not sure how it feels like to be on that.lol) Da Bomb!
*warning, this is a very longgg post with lotsa video, pics, screens and commentary on YTFF and Youtubers, if it aint your thing. It's best to run away now! haha*

This was my live tweet from the event. 

Thinking back I was pretty lucky for all these and am very thankful. :)

Thankful to the people who provided me with the sponsored tickets, thank you to the PR company who provided us with the tickets so that the people who passed me the tickets can have the tickets in the first place. And of course thankful to the organisers and the YouTubers which came down. 

These were the lineup for the two days. Initially I only had tickets to the first day to see David Choi (why i say david only cause of the whole list he is the one i know and love best of course! hehe) and on the second day, i was really lucky! Someone bailed out so I could join the second night too! yay! 

You can tell I just shot this pics before I wrote this posts huh. :P

On the first day I went down with G. Actually we both saw David's tweet that he was coming down then Ryan's tweet. Of course being the people we are that like them alot we were hyped up to go! Especially since we missed seeing David in his last concert in SG due to us being way too busy and stuff. :(

So we went to check out the ticket prices...and we realised that homg! there are so many people in the lineup that we don't really know of (and yesh, didn't really wanna see. then. ok, then. we were ignorant of what was to come. haha)

So we decided that we wouldn't go and would go only when David / Ryan came down on their own cause we would have a full show of only the essence of them mah. Makes sense too right? 

(it did when we were saying..but after coming back from YTFF i realised. what was I thinking yo? Give the other people a chance!) 

I was pretty much obsessed with catching up on their tweets and instagram to know what they were doing. 

BUTTT. 

by meaning obsessed i'm not exactly the fan girly type. 

I'm the appreciation type, you do good work is passionate and humble about it i will support you. No qualms about that. :)

So those were some of the youtubers which arrived in our small sunny island. <3 p="">

aww love.

even at 5% battery i couldn't get enough of wes. 

heh. 

note this were from different days...

it was pretty much a good show of how strong social media was. 

Ok. shifting gears back to the show...let me share what were some of my favourite. Mostly all of them from the first and second day were really really good. Which surprised me!!

this was the best photo i have of david choi of the night. T-T 

my phone was not cooperating. 

but david did good. 

AND AND! I saw david up close and personal when i walked out to pass some tickets to my talent. he was less than 20 steps away from me. 

i think my soul melted. 

For the first day, there was really honestly not one act at all that i disliked. And i was honestly surprised by how good each and every act of the day was...so let me share. I'll be sharing the YouTube clips from the night of the stars i like in case you don't know where to find them and also other videos which i would like to share from them...Let's go! 

*if i don't feature them it's not because i don't like them or because they are not good. I'm just sharing those which hit the spot with me. If you know what i mean;) i'll also link up their name so go check them out on your own!*

MyChonny:

I read the comments that said the crowd was dead. Hell no. i was there and know for sure it was definitely not dead. lol. my guess is that for the home viewers what they see and hear is not a direct accurate pick up from the live scene as in sometimes mics and camera placing and stuff makes a difference. 

This guy is one that i would definitely like to check out! My alpha made me miss a good 10 mins of his performance while going out to pass him tix...but because so i managed to see david. *melt.* how many times do i wanna melt? :p So i should really thank him actually. 

Name Wee:

Fellow malaysian, from my dad's hometown actually! and cousin's same school. I  never had a good impression of this dude to say the truth, but when he came up and started singing his first song i was still like meh. But after he started playing this song i shared i was like oooh. not bad. and me and g were actually enjoying it. 

I couldn't find his YTFF clip, did they take it off for some reason? but anyway, this was the one i particularly enjoyed. and raised my impression of him. not bad not bad. 

Cooking With Dog

when we saw the description i thought i was going to just daze off, but it was actually a very fun interview! Click on the link to find out more on the clip. The wittiness of the voice behind the poodle and the host was a hit for me!

No, don't think i'll really start watching this, but as a personality, the Japanese lady is really humble and nice. Humble with real potential is always a winner for me and at her age doing youtube videos. 

I respect!

This next guy blew my socks off!

Hikakin:

He just came up and literally beatbox his way into the crowd's heart!

i particularly like the Q&A session, hope the girl managed to get his number! heh heh! Single no more hikakin! lol

and of course my favourite of favourites of the night without a doubt 

David Choi:

If you haven't subscribed and listen to his songs? 

Are you sure you are my friend...*gives you the eyes* hahaha. 

no seriously. he is that good. 

have a listen. 

nuff said.

Natalie Tran:

Another one which i was quick to dismiess once i saw the brochure wrote, google hangout. i mean like pfft, how interesting can it get? 

Well apparently i was wrong for the night yet again. 

She is another of the personalities that i will be catching to see if i'll be subscribing soon! Her interview and intro at YTFF was really funny though!!:D

Chester See:

the ending act was done by the charismatic chester with his suit tie and whole get up. 

any fan girl would have swoon. 

That being said. no i'm not, but he did well :))

and when he went up he reminded us alot of our colleague chris, so we whatsapped another colleague who was there (she was the one who saved us the tix, much love!).And...her response was. 

Only if you blur the face. 

LOL.

Talk about ouch!

lol lol.

Only pic i took to show it was day one's ticket. 

And so that was day one!

The day one participants hit me as a bunch of people who really love what they did on YouTube, they started out not for the fame nor for the money and they are still in it because they are passionate about it. And also many came across as very humble. A passionate humble person who is good in his/her art, that i truly respect. We need more people like that. These days many people want to gain fame over night, i mean it is not wrong cause who doesn't love short cuts. 

But remember, if you aren't passionate about something, it won't last and you might never be truly happy. 

So jia you all the stars that i saw over the two nights! I hope you all stay true to yourself and keep that light burning. :)

...

I thought i would be heading home early to catch the live screening of day two. 

but i was really lucky. 

(ok, ignoring the fact that the crowd was really really bad on day two. all the pushing, jostling, shouting and all before we went in and show commence. I totally abhor that. i'm not really a crowd push and go person. i can't handle that.) Lucky Jayne and Xian looked out for me though. :) I think that start dampen my mood a little. Just a little. I was still overall excited to see Ryan with hopes of seeing Wes and maybe David cause David told us the day before that Wes was there! hehe. 

We had a little surprise!

Lead Guitarist of Aerosmith turned up for a little extra bonus for us and advertisement for their Saturday's gig!

Wasn't really a fan but they are legendary!

that was soooo good pls!!

My phone was a little more cooperative on day two!

ok now off to the night.

So here are some which hit home with me from night two which i wanna share. Let's go again! :

Eat your Kimchi:

I've heard alot about this duo and catch snippets of them. But after that night they officially got into my list of i must go catch their videos and subscribe to them! They were funny there and the videos they showed were also funny. 

ok. i really didn't enjoy DomePakorn's performance. seemed abit yaya and he didn't even show his own video, he was showing his record label's video which was in my opinion not what i really like. eh? o.o hello? but that could be only just me. 

Boyce Avenue:

I honestly haven't really heard much about them, but everyone was raving about them and they have a whooping 900 million views. Have i been living under a rock?! well i thought so until i was playing my david choi playlist on my app yesterday and realised that wait a minute there!

I have been listening to boyce avenue and liking them even before i knew it! that is the power of good potential. even if you don't sell your name, people would still think you are good because you are. :)

Ryan Higa:

If you don't know who Ryan is...my turn now. Have you been living under a rock?! lol lol. 

He has 1.5 billion views for his videos! No seriously, after I watched his collab with Wongfu pro I was hooked on all the rest of his videos and watch them all. He is really good! What he uses is wit, which means he really has to put effort into what he does. Many think eh this youtube people has no substandard, so wrong you are. If you look closely at alot of their content you can see many of them do put alot of thought into it. Scripting directing and all. 

Look how far Ryan and of course my beloved WongFu has come. I can attest to that because i was a fan before Wongfu productions was officially Wongfu productions with the three of them. :)

and i'm especially grateful Ryan shared the stage with Andrew and Wes. <3 nbsp="">

Thanks Ryan!

Was so happy when Ryan surprised us with Andrew. 

I knew of Andrew Garcia from his American idol days and loved his singing then so was really happy when i learnt he got together with YTF and did videos. :)

i found this version, they didn't have the American idol one. 

Your welcome. :)

And then Ryan brought up Wes...wes...wessssss! :)

bad photo but i have a really short video!

:)))))))

yea. 

that really made my night. i forgotten about all the unhappy jostling and pushing before the show started. i melted yet again. 

Last mention for the night is for Little Boots a UK Youtuber who is now a singer!

I actually felt quite bad for her cause her performance was after Ryan's and was the last act of the day. It was really late then, the show over runed by 1 and a half hour, not that i'm complaining! hehe. 

She is pretty decent and i felt it was, pretty sad and maybe rude in my opinion that everyone just left, almost half the people there!I mean if i were her my confidence would have taken a blow, but don't worry gal. You are good. :) Huixian likes you! heh. 

wanted to end the night with a photo of the second night's ticket and people but realised...the photos are not with me!! gah. 

so i shall end with the first nights instead. till i get the pics from them! heh. :)

I realised it's fun when the people you go with have the same interest in the event as you! 

Super thankful to everyone who made the two nights super awesome!

^-^

...

And then here are a slew of instagram and tweets from the youtubers which just made me awww...and have lotsa fun sharing with @poisonpoppyz. We were like going wes..aww..david..aww..ryan...aww...and lotsa fun stuff. :D no we are not crazy over obsessed fan girls. we appreciate good talent. heh. :P

this was the latest one. and seems like they really enjoyed themselves here and the company and new friends they made. 

I can actually totally relate to their feelings, it is probably akin to the time i just came back from the states. :)

it just makes them seem more real more human. :)

aww moment. 

ok this was the start of the frenzy. the slew of tweets from wes. (x.x no i am not an obsessed fangirl :X)

 made me really happy. 

 say aww. 

 this was his insta to tell the world he had landed in SG. 

*wavesssssss!!! hello!!!*

haha. i loved the caption here. 

And his friend tweeted this:

i know right. 

haha. #truestory moment. 

Ok that's my recap of the two night of YTFF 20th and 21st May 2013 at Ritz Carlton. 

Maybe when i come back to read my post next year i'll feel the same things again. 

These stars have totally fueled me to remind myself that do things because you like it, it might not get you famous or rich. Hell, you might not even get any recognition for it, but do it anyway because you like it. 

Stay humble stay passionate. Stay true to yourself. 

i'll write even if no one reads, i'll shoot (pictures) even if no one sees them.

Thank you for reminding me these. 

:)

You guys rock!

and to me you guys are superstars in your very own right. 

\m/

Happy Mother's Day <3

This is just a very short post before bed to say mummy I love you:) and to all wonderful mothers out there...

Happy Mother's Day! You are the best gift a kid can ever have.

Thank you for all the sacrifices you have for us. The unconditional love you show us in one way or another. 

As children sometimes it seems like we don't appreciate it don't realise it, trust me we do. Or at least I do, and I'm sure for those who still are lost sheeps they will understand your intentions when they grow sensible. :) 

世上只有妈妈好、有妈的孩子象个宝。ill always remember this song, it played alot as a fernleaf milk powder ad as I was a kid. Talk about good advertising! Haha

Before I leave I shall leave you all with some good Mother's Day video...the one I'm going to share today is not the cheesy sob sob kind..

It's a quirky one done by awesome dance Mike Song (@mikeosong) and a bunch of other great dancers such as Anthony lee (@_anthonylee_) whom i know from WFP vids and many other good ones whom I've never seen before. To too it all off mama song (mike's mum) took home the cake with her collab with them in this Mother's Day video! So enjoy: 

(O sorry crap, i forgot the blogger app doesn't allow me to have embed function.) here's the link first, will update it when I can with the embedded video. - Embedded! 

Have fun! Take care! Send lotsa love to you mums. Make sure it's always less than three. <3

i listen to songs without hearing the lyrics.

You know there are some kind of people who listen to songs by catching their lyrics first then the melody? Me? I'm the sort which hears the melody and very little of the lyrics. I'm sure there are pretty many like me, because the brain processes melodies more easily? Ok, i don't know about that for sure. 

Even though my favourite musicians for example like ashin (yes beloved. i must emphasize. lol) writes one of the best lyrics ever (no i am speaking truthfully here, because he writes it so simply and straight to your heart) what catches me first is always the melody. Only from there will i bother to pay attention to the lyrics. 

Lyrics to me are like homework, unless they are really simple i would never be able to sing a full song's lyric's through memory (well, unless i do my homework) haha...Imagine singing a jay chou song remembering that in full! I do admit that when i understand Jay chou's song lyrics they are really poetic and all, but hey, my mandarin is just mediocre, so for me his song's lyrics are meh. (If you don't speak so that everyone understand you, it will just be a very pretty vase. Well with no offense, that is only what i think.)

So anyway! i was hearing this super old song in the grocer earlier on and used shazam to recognise it. Thank god for good apps! hehe. I thought the title was pretty creepy at first but it was really catchy. See catchy tune always wins half the battle!

Googled it and it feels darkly romantic. It's pretty simple to understand, of course the part about Catholics and Romans, i don't really get that, but apart from that i guess most can relate...

I'll leave you with the song below, who will you want to walk with you into the dark?

i'll follow you into the dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Love of mine, some day you will dieBut I'll be close behindI'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of whiteJust our hands clasped so tightWaiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman ruleI got my knuckles bruised by a lady in blackAnd I held my tongue as she told me"Son fear is the heart of love"So I never went back

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs

If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to seeFrom Bangkok to CalgaryAnd the soles of your shoesAre all worn down

The time for sleep is nowIt's nothing to cry about'Cause we'll hold each other soonIn the blackest of rooms

If Heaven and Hell decideThat they both are satisfiedIlluminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside youWhen your soul embarksThen I'll follow you into the darkThen I'll follow you into the dark...
i'll end of with this. word.life, is really, too short to be anything but happy. 
so go jump around along daisies (act yi ge romantic, there's no daisies locally. lol) and be a nice human.
:)
