Boys like girls - Thunder

Today is a winding road

That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go

Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Today in the blink of an eye

I'm holding on to something and I do not know why

I tried

I tried to read between the lines

I tried to look in your eyes

I want a simple explanation

For what I'm feeling inside

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road

Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know

Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Today I'm on my own

I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone

I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass

And longing for the breeze

I need to step outside

Just to see if I can breathe

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope

I'm wrapped up in vines

I think we'll make it out

But you just gotta give me time

Strike me down with lightning

Let me feel you in my veins

I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road

that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go

Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Oh baby bring on the pain

And listen to the thunder

Drake - Take care

[Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself.

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost.

[Drake: verse 1]

I've asked about you and they've told me things

but my mind didn't change it

I still feel the same

what's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours we both know, we know.

They don't get you like I will

my only wish is I die real

cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal

and you can't sleep thinking that he lies still

so you cry still, tears all in the pillow case,

big girls all get a little taste

pushing me away so I give her space

dealing with a heart that I didn't break.

I'll be there for you, I will care for you

I keep thinking you, just don't know

try to run from that, say you're done with that

on your face girl, it just don't show.

When you're ready, just say you're ready

when all the baggage just ain't as heavy

and the parties over, just don't forget me

we'll change the pace and we'll just go slow.

You won't ever have to worry,

you won't ever have to hide,

you've seen all my mistakes,

so look me in my eyes.

[Rihanna]

'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and i've lost.

[Drake: verse 2]

It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to

can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if have to

cause you don't say you love me

to your friends when they ask you

even though we both know that you do (you do).

One time, been in love one time

you and all your girls in the club one time

all so convinced that you're following your heart

cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes.

We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know.

You hate being alone

you ain't the only one

you hate the fact that you bought the dream

and they sold you one

you love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin',

to save you, instead he said;

don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

[Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

if you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost

Howie Day - Collide

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know

You make a first impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

Don't stop here

I've lost my place

I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Paramore - The only exception

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that

She would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now I had sworn to my self that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception x3

I've got a tight grip on reality

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh

You are the only exception x8

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Lifehouse - you and me

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say

Just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of

You and me and all of the people

With nothing to do and nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

Sum 41 - With me

I don't want this moment to ever end

Where everything's nothing without you

I wait here forever just to, to see you smile

'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Through it all I've made my mistakes

I stumble and fall but I mean these words

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

'Cause I'd bleed my heart out to show that I won't let go

Thoughts read unspoken forever and now

The pieces of memories fall to the ground

I know what I did and how so, I won't let this go

'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

All the streets where I walked alone

With nowhere to go have come to an end

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

In front of your eyes it falls from the skies

When you don't know what you're looking to find

In front of your eyes it falls from the skies

When you just never know what you will find

What you will find, what you will find

What you will find, what you will find

I don't want this moment to ever end

Where every thing's nothing without you

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

Jason Mraz - I wont give up

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

Well there's so much they hold

And just like them old stars

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space

To do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

No, i won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts

We got yeah we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what i got, and what I'm not

And who i am

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

I'm still looking up

I won't give up (No I'm not) on us (Giving up)

God knows I'm tough (I am tough), he knows (I am loved)

We got a lot (We're alive) to learn (We are loved)

God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it)

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

Hunter Hayes - Wanted

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl boy, I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two

Put aside the math and the logic of it

You gotta know you want it too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty

(Yeah)

You get that all the time, I know you do

But your beauty's deeper than the makeup

And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

'Cause baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better

Better than your fairy tales

Better than your best dreams

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Yeah baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

'Cause you'll always be wanted

Secondhand Serenade - Your Call

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, cause I'm angry

Cause I'm desperate for your voice

listening to the song we used to sing

In the car, do you remember,butterfly, early summer?

Its playing on repeat, just like when we would meet

Like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

To make you mine, stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh

I am feeling so ambitious

You and me, flesh to flesh

'Cause every breath that you will take

When you are sitting next to me

Will bring life into my deepest hopes, whats your fantasy?

Whats your, whats your

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

To make you mine, stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of you

And this horrible moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine

Stay with me tonight

He is we - I Wouldn't Mind

Merrily we fall

Out of line, out of line

I'd fall anywhere with you

I'm by your side

Swinging in the rain, humming melodies

We're not going anywhere until we freeze

I'm not afraid, anymore

I'm not afraid

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Carefully we'll place for our destiny

You came and you took this heart, and set it free

Every word you write or sing is so warm to me, so warm to me

I'm torn, I'm torn to be right where you are

I'm not afraid, anymore

I'm not afraid

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Tell me everyday I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it at all

I wouldn't mind it at all

You so know me

Pinch me gently

I can hardly breathe

Forever is a long, long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Tell me everyday I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it at all

I wouldn't mind it at all

Recycled boxes

I did a previous box but it wasn't holding very well. Then I just use individual boxes as a box. I tape the center together but I prefer to have good containers than boxes. So I decided to snap off the cover. 

Then I tape a bunch together. Actually 3 stacks are perfect but I have 4 boxes. And I don't want to waste a box. 

Tape them up. 

Tape the back too. 

And tada. It's simple enough. 

The last one was upside down and the box is not in a good condition but oh well. I still prefer 3 stacks but I definitely could use the extra storage. 

In case you're wondering I put one for toner one for serum one for moisturizer and the last one for sunscreen. 

Wish I could make more but seeing the new bellabox I think they change the packaging. So no more recycling boxes for me. As I don't know (yet) how to reuse the new one. 

RIP My Friend

In loving memories of Patricia Alamanda Putri, a friend.

1991 - 2013

We miss you.

I am sorry Pat. You get taken away from this World at such a young age. Your jumpy personality makes us pissed and happy at the same time. It's great that you get to hop around and know as many people as possible. But as a close friend we cannot help but feel jealous, cause we cannot have you to ourselves. Nonetheless, every lives you touch, you bring them joy. 

Such an easy going person, really bubbly and silly. A girl who is a coward cause she doesn't dare to talk to her crush. A girl afraid of cockroaches as much as Jess. A girl who prefers to take 2 minutes taxi ride instead of walking. A girl full of laughter and never fail to influence the people around her. No matter how innocent you are, you are our you. Maybe people call you as puput, but you will always be our Pat. You will always be my 'nenek'. 

Rest in peace my friend. May we see each other in the afterlife.

Birthday month

So let's start with a new bag and wallet. I don't tend to like bulky boxy bag. But I saw this and I love it. So ya need that.

Then I received some presents.

Not a fan of roses but I really love this. It's just so nice. Smell clean and fresh and atas and in the end the roses linger but not overpowering. And it's a nice rose scent. Thank you Kalai.

Lastly, I got 3 cakes. Yummy cakes.

So ya that's all for this month. I'm pretty much done with my 3 months no buy. But I will continue trying not to buy. So far I did buy stuff from luxola. I have a referral link for that too. And bought them

Cause it was on sale. Will put it on next month haul. That's it. Happy Halloween. 

A City of Cats

Love cats?

So I had a little getaway to Kuching, Sarawak. Stayed at Margarita Hotel. It was ok. I forgot how much it cost to/from the airport. It's a fix fee for taxi. 

It's quite spacious. I just love king size bed. So much room to throw your bag on.

The bathroom was ok. The bathtub is just way to tiny. Taking a shower was not fun. I rather they have just a proper shower. Water will get out and wet the bathroom floor and I hate wet floor.

The hotel view. There's a mountain, remind me of HK. The weather was ok. Quite hot, but not as crazy as Sg. 

This is the many choice of breakfast food. It has a pretty ok selection. I love the black olive and the toasted bread with olive oil. I like putting walnut in yogurt too. There's cute mini pancakes and waffles but I never take that. 

You have to eat midin, their traditional veggie. Its really good and I don't know where else you can find it. We ate ours at Top Spot. Basically it's like a food center like Newton, but it's just seafood stalls. 

Our stingray is huge. It's 1.2kg. It's overcook and doesn't taste like the normal stingray. We tabao it in the end. Like 700g of it and ate it for supper with cup noodles. The curry bamboo clam is unique and it's quite nice especially if you dip the fried sotong in. 

You have to eat the lobster there as its pretty cheap. Wanted to get the one huge lobster, but it was sold out. We were a tad too slow. 

Another food you have to eat is their noodle(kolok mee) and the 3 layers coffee(teh c peng). It's hard to see the layers from this photo but it's there. I do prefer the hot one. 

Our last dinner was spent in Koka. It was normal, slightly cheaper than Sg. But I feel the one in Sg is nicer. And they have their regular there, so we wasn't treated as what I had expected. My standard is quite high. I can say my partner was not complaining. But I miss Koka fried rice. It's one of the nicest fried rice I've tasted. Oh I finally tried fried ice cream, it's quite nice, from the food vendors along the Sarawak river (Waterfront), but it's way too oily. 

Lastly we eat the kueh lapis. Tried ours from Dayang Salhah as it was recommended as the best. I don't know cause I never tried the rest. But we had to cross the river to get there. It was nice in the shop, you can try as much as you want, but when we bring it home it was just so-so. So go there, experience the RM0.5 per person per sampan ride, and taste the kueh. Maybe buy one if you feel bad, but it really wasn't nice when eaten at home. 

So ya, we stroll a lot. Got hot and feel sian. It was relaxing, but I just wish there were more food around. A pointless relaxing 4 days if you ask me. 

If you also ask why I didn't go to their museum or visit the long houses? I will say I find it pointless. From travel bloggers and pictures, I feel that I've seen it that I've experienced it. So the money spend going there is not worth. Rather just chill in the hotel with air con and HBO. Yes lame, but it's good lazy days. Doing nothing is my favorite thing to do. Especially since when you go back to Sg, you have to do everything. So I rather like my nothingness. But if I were to choose all over again, I think I would have book a place near the sea. Their beach(es) looks nice. And maybe go for trekking or something. This is the first trip that we go and we know nothing about. So it's pretty scary and confusing. But the main reason to go there is just for chilling and enjoyment. 

So ya. Oh, we did went to the mall, empty inside. Tua Pek Kong Temple, the oldest temple, to offer some incense. Walk through the Chinatown, really old feel and not enough snacks/food store. The wet market was pointless too. It will be great if you have a kitchen to cook at, but nah. 

I feel Kuching is like an empty Bali. There are many pubs around. A few clubs and stuff, but it's just too empty. There is a potential if tourist would just visit. Like a party island, but I doubt they want that as their tourism strategy. But yes, potential. All I could think of when I see the vacant shops or the empty store was how do these people survive?

As a cat city, there wasn't much cats too. I only saw maybe 3/4 in total. So all in all I feel you really need to be a city kid to visit Kuching as only then you'll get to enjoy doing the touristy stuff. It's a nice town with a flair of all religion living in harmony. Everywhere you look, you'll see a temple, a mosque and a church building. It's really cool. Hindus temple too I guess. Red, white and green living in harmony. I really like that. But yes, if you want to get off the busy life and want travel by plane, Kuching may be a place you can hide. If not, a boat ride sanctuary to Batam is ideal.

Oh there's nothing much at the airport. So don't reach the airport too early. The duty free is cheaper in Sg. For more info, just search "what to do in Kuching" on Google. 

October

Usually by today, I have everything up on my blog. But for some reason I don't want anything. I mean of course I want something. But I don't have anything in mind. I already got my kindle and that's like the best thing ever.

I kind of put reading aside, so having a kindle is like having the two things I like together. Like everytime I read using it, you will be in my mind.

I eat an awesome buffet. Courtesy of Sophie. I can't take alcohol. But I'm gonna practice. Cause in 5 years time, I'm sure we will do it again. We will remember to put strawberries in this time.

 

This year I managed to meet up with everyone except Michelle. But it's kind of awkward to. Oh well. Take it slow. 

And I got my own dedicated post on PL wp. http://gabrieltphotography.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/to-a-friend/

So sweet.
