you

it's you who waved at me
from far away one day
and it's you who got me
worrying what am i to say

to you when all that
i could think of was the way
that you made everything
around you seem so plain

it's you who filled my mind
at the start of everyday
and it's you who painted rainbows
on everything that's grey

and it's you who made it worth the while
to walk a hundred miles
if only just to see you smile

cos you can chase away the blues
with a smile or two
and you can break my heart in two
when you're not around

and there's absolutely nothing
i can do to keep my heart
from falling hopelessly
in love with you

and it's you who'd walk with me
before the morning light
and it's you who'd listen to
the songs that i would write

and it's you who looks at me
and tells me i'm ok
cos you won't ever have me
any other way

cos you can chase away the blues
with a smile or two
and you can break my heart in two
when you're not around

and there's absolutely nothing
i can do to keep my heart
from falling hopelessly
in love with you

and you know i can't wait to
sweep you off your feet
and hold you in my arms
as long as i can breathe

cos you have made it worth the while
to walk along that aisle
so i can always see you smile

cos you can chase away the blues
with a smile or two
and you can break my heart in two
when you're not around

and there's absolutely nothing
i can do to keep my heart
from falling hopelessly
in love
i'm hopelessly in love
i'm hopelessly in love
with you

Motion capture

This is to me the most beautiful part of marina bay sands. The shimmering curtains made up of small metal plates that flutter in the wind and literally make the air currents visible. At night, they turn into golden flames, licking the facade in slow motion. Haven't seen anything quite like this!

found!

because i needed something to read while having supper, i decided to do some advance reading of Chapter 3 from "Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts" (sorry bee i will still read with you!)

One little bit of treasure i found:

"The most important characteristic of a marriageable person is the habit of happiness"

So true! Especially the word "habit". Because instead of endlessly searching for happiness, all we need to do is to BE happy!

just like the old days

my mum fetches me to work everyday now. and so each day begins with joy, because i know i am loved.

As I find myself drifting closer towards that very important "next stage" of my life, I realize that I haven't really stopped to ponder long and hard about the question of being ready for this commitment of a lifetime. Or maybe there's no need to ponder? Perhaps after my series of failed relationships, I've finally come to understand who I really am and what I really want out of a long term relationship. And maybe I've really found someone whom I can happily love and cherish for the rest of my life! :)

Crazy bamboo

> This was our new bamboo shoot that peeped out of the ground one Sunday morning. See it? So small and cute! Guess what... Within a week, it has grown to become as tall as me! That's like, over 20cm a day! We now officially have an alien in our garden.

Last minute lantern festival

We almost didn't make it! But glad we still managed to walk one round around our estate, and also got to chat with llyn gardens' Cat Woman, with her army of really gorgeous kitties!

Blogging in a taxi

Used to be rather horrified about the prospect of having kids, but maybe it's really just a phase after all!

...can't wait to go kite-flying again...

maisie

i have so much to be thankful for, not least of which is that the ordeal of trying to appeal for our cpf grant and our housing loan finally appears to be over! Thank God for keeping us safe!

and thanks to all the people at HDB who handled our case, for restoring our faith in our wonderful government!
