my new love

my vintage-looking heels bought at Haji Lane...

woo... lurveeee it!

明知我爱你

Have you ever had this kind of feeling - you know you love a person but you don't have the courage to tell him/her? Maybe there are too many uncertainties in your current situation, maybe you don't know where things will be heading after the declaration, maybe you are afraid of losing the friendship, maybe you are afraid that you will screw things up, maybe things are not meant to be, maybe there are just too many "maybes"...

When I first heard this song on the radio, I'm surprised that I could even hum to the chorus when it was sang for the second time. The lyrics are so simple and the melody so easily to catch on. It was as if I've heard the song before although I'm pretty sure that was the first time.

Sarah asked, "ah-yi.. you like this song?"

Yes I do!

I googled it and to my surprise, it's written & sang by a local artiste named Serene Koong. I also found out that it's the 片尾曲 for a local drama serial 红白喜事. Maybe that's why the tune is so familiar even though I hardly caught any episodes of that drama... Anyway, she's got a pretty good voice and had just released an album - 55:38:7. I can't find any videos of this song but you can listen to it here!

告诉你 瞒着你 只不过是个决定

放弃你 忘记你 只怕我无法前进

不知道为什么会如此莫名紧张你

我越了解你 越靠近你 越犹豫

明知道我爱你 却不敢告诉你

我害怕失去你 宁愿沉默不语

该如何整理 幸福在手里
我恨自己 无能为力

明知道我爱你 却不敢靠近你
我假装不在意 反而痛了自己
多痛都可以 不能没有你
只想永远永远爱你
你知不知道我也没关系

告诉你 瞒着你 只不过是个决定
但为何 到如今 我依然无法前进
不知道为什么会如此莫名紧张你
我越了解你 越靠近你 越犹豫

明知道我爱你 却不敢告诉你
我害怕失去你 宁愿沉默不语
该如何整理 幸福在手里
我恨自己 无能为力

明知道我爱你 却不敢靠近你
我假装不在意 反而痛了自己
多痛都可以 不能没有你
只想永远永远爱你
你知不知道我也没关系

明知道我爱你 假装不在意

多痛都可以 不能没有你
只想永远永远爱你

你知不知道真的没关系

Handmade shoes from Korea (brand new)

Bought this pair of shoes in Korea but when I got back to SIN, it's too small for me! :( Guess my feet shrunk when I was in Korea due to the cold weather. I love this pair but really can't squeeze my feet in. I am a size 6.5-7 so if you are a size 5.5-6 girl, this should fit you.

Cost: S$65

Colour: Denim

Condition: brand new, comes with box and an extra pair of 'base' for the heels

the base is a little black not because I wore it before but because the floor @ the shop in Korea is very dirty! haha!

Loafers from "I love flats" Korea (brand new)

This is another pair I bought from Korea.. It's a tad too small for me because I think my feet shrunk about one size down when I was in Korea. Again, I am a size 6.5-7 so if you are a size 5.5-6 girl, I think this pair should fit you. As I wanted to save space on my luggage, I threw away the box when I was in Korea.

Damage to you: S$35

Condition: brand new

Agnes b canvas bag (2nd hand)

Price: S$100

Good deal so don't miss it! :)

Tiffany Atlas Necklace & Earrings (2nd hand)

Wore this necklace for only a few times but somehow, I feel I don't look too good with the black cord, so instead of keeping it in the cabinet, I decided to do something with it.

It is kept in superb condition and I take it out of the box once in a while to polish! It comes with a pouch and box.

Price is fixed at S$250.

This pair of earrings is as good as new too because I only wore it a couple of times. Similarly, I polish it once in a while and kept it in superb condition.

The damage to you will be S$80. :)

These are authentic Tiffany jewelry! Not fakes! :) If you are really keen but the price doesn't look too appealing, please drop me an email & I'll see what can be done. :)

没那么简单...

Since I was on the topic of music, here is another song I discovered only today while watching 超级星光大道. I felt the song was written for people like me! It connected with me instantly! Go google and listen to it!

没那么简单 - 黄小虎

那麼简单 就能找到 聊得来的伴
尤其是在 看过了那麼多的背叛
总是不安 只好强悍

谁谋杀了我的浪漫

没那麼简单 就能去爱 别的全不看
变得实际 也许好也许坏各一半
不爱孤单 一久也习惯
不用担心谁 也不用被谁管

感觉快乐就忙东忙西
感觉累了就放空自己
别人说的话 随便听一听 自己作决定
不想拥有太多情绪
一杯红酒配电影
在周末晚上 关上了手机 舒服窝在沙发裡

相爱没有那麼容易 每个人有他的脾气
过了爱作梦的年纪 轰轰烈烈不如平静
幸福没有那麼容易 才会特别让人著迷
什麼都不懂的年纪
曾经最掏心 所以最开心 曾经

想念最伤心 但却最动心 的记忆

I particularly like the last two phrases. Yet again, such simple words can speak so much. Love it!

说好的幸福呢？

Of late, I've been hearing this song a lot, whether on the radio, at the ktv, watching programs, etc... the lyrics touched me once again.. the feeling of betrayal, helplessness, the broken promises, the trust that crumbled when one chose to take another path with another one.

simple words, simple melody, powerful touch... 和你分享, enjoy!

歌曲：说好的幸福呢

歌手：周杰伦

你的绘画凌乱着.
在这个时刻.
我想起喷泉旁的白鸽.
甜蜜散乱了.

情绪莫名的拉扯.
我还爱你呐.
伴你断断续续唱着歌.
假装没事了.

时间过了走了.
爱情面临选择.
你冷了倦了我哭了.
一开始的不快乐.
你用卡片拭写着.
有些爱只给到这真的懂了.

怎麽了.你累了.说好的.幸福呐
我懂了.不说了.爱淡了.梦远了
开心与不开心.一一叙说着.你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻.我都还记得

你不等了.说好的.幸福呐
我错了.泪干了.放手了 后悔了

只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着.要怎么停呐

怎麽了.
你累了.
说好的.
幸福呐.
我懂了.
不说了.
爱淡了.
梦淹了.
我都还记得.

你不等了.说好的.幸福呐
我错了.泪干了.放手了 后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒还旋转着.要怎么停呐 !

iPhone fun...

these are taken around the newly renovated room... just for fun!

Mirror mirror on the door..

Do you believe in Fengshui?

If I were to pose this question to my sis, I'm pretty sure she'll shoot, "you are so bo liao!" She has always been a non-believer of Fengshui while I am still sitting on the fence. I guess there is no harm making small changes in your daily life if those changes may potentially give you a smoother journey in life? :P But at the same time, I have not experienced anything 'miraculous' that can make me shout out confidently, "YES I am a believer!" To be fair, I'm not the most diligent person when it comes to things like that. I have not made an effort find out more, let alone follow through any instructions that comes along with it.

Anyway, my old wardrobe was those of sliding doors type and the sliding doors were mirrors. So, I get a nice full length view of myself. Those mirrors were so strategically positioned that in most corners of my room, I'll get to see my own reflection and yeah, that'd also mean I'm facing the mirror when I am sleeping. Old folks will tell you that this is a big no-no. Apparently, it affects the health and maybe other aspects of one's life?

So, this is one of the reason why I renovated the room recently. The fact is, my health (and some other aspects of my life) haven't been that good. Been through a couple of operations since I moved in and things haven't been exactly smooth. Naturally, mom attributed the not-so-good past years to the mirror and had been urging me to get the wardrobe changed. So now, the mirror is finally gone! Let's see if things will get better from now on.

Mirror or no mirror, I sure hope things will get better. :)
