Random Distraction

I call this post random because I came across my own blog on my own Twitter, and saw that the last post was made one and a half years ago? Also a distraction as, well I truly got distracted.

A hopefully short one, can't stand that things are not updated. A few changes, most remain the same.

Biggest change I can think of is EXO. The last post was made in Oct 2012, which was about a month later I went for SM Town concert? They were on stage but I didn't pay too much attention then. My focus were on the other artists like Super Junior and Shinee. Suddenly less than a year later it went full-blown. Saw them perform Wolf on Music Bank (one of the re-runs) and out of curiosity youtubed about them. Basically they have taken over my life until now.

Another big change is, not sure when it started, but have also hooked myself onto gaming youtubers. To be exact, I subscribe to a few people who produce videos of them playing games. Most of them have videos uploaded every day, so my nights are sometimes taken up having to watch their videos. Again for some reason I enjoy watching people play more so than playing on my own. Minecraft is a big source of their videos, since its so expandable there seems to be endless stuff you can do on Minecraft. Really enjoy watching them explore and come up with ideas to make their videos more fun to watch.

A very recent change - painted 2 sides of my room a sky blue color, which means all the old posters and blu-tac stain marks are gone! Obviously I ain't one to leave my new walls blue and empty, so have started acquiring posters even before the walls got painted. Have since completed 80% covering 1 wall, going to finish the project of covering 90% and making use of 2nd wall for new posters/pictures. Instagram it soon! (Oh yeah, my Instagram account is the other new thing too.)

The rest pretty much stay the same. Again, want to keep this short as I'm here only randomly distracted. Sums up my attention span really.

2 Years

2 Years. It's been almost 2 years since I last posted here. I've since lost the background picture and almost forgot my password. 2 years on...

Many things have changed in my life. Sadly I'm still single, but doesn't matter. I've started to earn money, been in society for 18 months now. Same job, slight pay rise and still doing the same things. It's become a routine there. Sometimes you hate it, sometimes you enjoy it. At least my CPF is slowly growing. Right, won't talk anymore about work.

Gadget. Most recent changes are that I got a new laptop! Daddy paid for it as usual. So I'm blogging from my new laptop. My old laptop is still functioning, so I can transfer files to the new one. Haven't really gotten to doing it yet. Another gadget change is my Samsung Galaxy S2, considered old though. Still ever faithful to it.

Music. Have also started to listen to radio 913 (or HOT FM) since I started working. My playlists have improved ever since too. I now listen to music everyday without fail. Even on weekends. Sometimes I feel kind of empty without music. English songs mainly though. My latest crave? Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom. Hilariously, the concerts I've been to are all korean. Super Show 3: 29-30 Jan 2011. Been to both days. SHINee World : 10 Sep 2011. Super Show 4: 19 Feb 2012. Next one - SMTown Live World Tour III: 23 Nov 2012. Bring it on!

Cosmetics. Have also since been addicted to make-up. Did already use them 2 years ago, but maybe not as often as now. I actually enjoy doing make-up, which has to be a good thing. Instead of thinking about it as wasting time, think of it as art on face. Ok, maybe not that arty but I've really increased my make-up stock in these past 2 years. Which leads to the next paragraph.

Household. Changes in my room and house are also in order. I (& daddy) purchased the ALEX 9-drawer set from IKEA for my make-up and nail polish storage. Love it so much. Still got plenty of space to add my make-up collection. This didn't happen in my house but bro has also finished his NS early this Feb. Already in University, so fast, so smart. Living room has the biggest change: New TV (daddy screwed the old one with baby wipes), new TV cabinet/table for all the cable tvs, dvd player, speakers and a PS3. Oh, not to forget a gigantic freezer in the living room as well. So out of place. At least the fish tank hasn't change - still empty.

Travelling. Love travelling. From Oct 2010, I've since been to KL, Phuket, JB, Taipei, & JB in that order. I guess I'm somewhat fortunate. Have also booked a Taiwan trip later in Dec. Great way to round up the year. Can't wait!

Sports. How can I forget about it?! Arsenal still have my deepest support. Frustrating at times, few tears shed, but ultimately I'm hooked. Gooner for life! Cricket - first came across it due to the hype over The Ashes test series between England & Australia in 2010-2011 . In short, I've grown a British interest in their sports therefore am now supporting the England cricket team. Also frustrating at times. Basketball - safe to say I started to support the team that won the NBA title that year. Lakers! Rugby - 2011 World Cup. Enough said. The All Blacks. The mighty All Blacks. The team so far to NOT have frustrated me. Still on a winning streak since winning the World Cup. Mighty indeed. Tennis - Still Rafa! But has been rather quiet and injured this past 2 years. Really hoping to see him at his best again! Vamos Rafa! Olympics 2012. Wow. London made it possible. Made everything magical and made my time watching it so much memorable. The time difference was a little annoying but hey I'm not complaining! Lastly, not really a sport I'm actually interested but have watched the very recent Ryder Cup. That's golf by the way. Tell me again why I'm such a sports junkie. (This is one hell of a paragraph.)

Shopping. Been less likely to shop outside than online. The price is one huge factor, always never seem to be firm and buy things. Yet I can freely purchase goods online. Don't even know how they look like of feel on me, still buy. Well at least it's one-sided right? Having to spend the money I earn is somewhat satisfying. I can actually buy stuff for myself without having to worry I'll have none left in my bank. It's growing!

Friends. To be fair, once you've been with certain friends for that long, change is minimal in terms of our friendships. As strong as ever, even if we do meet up less often. Work and studies take up a bulk of our time, not to mention the odd few with boyfriends. That doesn't change anything. I love my friends dearly, need them more than I think I do. Friendship is easy to strike up, hard to maintain. We all grow old together. So Jia You my dear friends!

Games. Not much of a gaming person myself, but I enjoy watching others play. I enjoy my time laughing and commenting beside bro while he plays the PS3. Any game, so long as his friends are not there, I'll somehow find time to sit and laugh. Fun times. PS3 is rotting for now, my dear bro. On the other hand, been addicted to some iPad games. Become somewhat of a routine as well.

Health. I guess not much difference. Probably gained a few kilo. Less exercise? Maybe I need to change that for the better. Becoming couch potato on weekends. Watching all the sports in't helping me get into sports myself. Maybe need to visit a dentist too. Don't want to go into details the last time I've been to one. Eat more fruits? Dad's naggy motto almost everyday. He is hooked on fruits. All kinds. 2-3 different ones at a time. After every dinner. Yet he's currently sick. Haha.

Meant for this post to be short but how is it possible?

Broken Arrow

Broken Arrow. Really like the lyrics of this song. Sung by Pixie Lott, the first time I heard it on radio, I loved the tune. There was a certain part of the song - the starting part of the chorus - that I really love. I didn't get the lyrics until I went to check it out. The lyrics are easy to understand and has meaning to it. Easy to understand lyrics just make the whole song easier to follow. The lyrics as follow:

What do you do when you're stuck,
Because the one that you love,
Has pushed you away,
And you can't deal with the pain,
And now you're trying to fix me,
Mend what he did,
I'll find the piece that I'm missing,
But I still miss him,
I miss him, I'm missing him,
Oh I miss him, I miss him, I'm missng him

And you're sitting in the front row,
Wanna be first in line,
Waiting by my window,
Giving me all your time,
You could be my hero,
If only I could let go,
But his love is still in me,
Like a broken arrow.
Like a broken arrow.

He's the thorn in my flesh
That I can't take out
He's stealing my breath
When you're around,
And now you're trying to convince me,
He wasn't worth it,
But you can't complete me,
He's the part that is missing,
I miss him, I'm missing him,
Oh I miss him I miss him, I'm missing him,

And you're sitting in the front row,
Wanna be first in line,
Waiting by my window,
Giving me all your time,
You could be my hero,
If only I could let go,
But his love is still in me,
Like a broken arrow.
Like a broken arrow.

What do you do
When your hearts in two places?
You feel great but you're torn inside.
You feel love but you just can't embrace it,
When you found the right one at the wrong time.

And you're sitting in the front row,
Wanna be first in line,
Waiting by my window,
Giving me all your time,
You could be my hero,
If only I could let go,
But his love is still in me,
Like a broken arrow.
Like a broken arrow.


Easy to understand right? Haha. You get dumped but you still love your ex-bf. Then another guy comes in and do everything for you, but you still can't forget about your ex-bf. There's still that lingering feeling for him, and you know this guy in front of you loves you wholeheartedly. One sentence sums up the whole song - "When you found the right one at the wrong time."

Sweet isn't it? A tinge of sadness yet blissfulness. I love it!

Obsession

I'm back! Got nothing much to do so I'm posting again. Going out later, which means I have to start planning what time to shower etc so I won't be late.

Going to Kbox with my mates! Haha... been a while I last saw them, well at least 1 of them. Haha... The other lives down the road. We meet every month to pass items. Haha. Anyway, meeting at 7pm, which means I need to start shower at 5+, then take quick dinner, then wear clothes/put make-up. I don't even know why I'm blogging this. Am so bored.

It's kpop time people! Heard that there are many new kpop songs in kbox, so definitely going to check it out and sing to my heart's content. Ok, I've got no juice now. Signing out~
