Imeem and Etsy!

Lots of new stuff up and runnin'.

Check out our imeem playlist ------->

Had a nice time listening to some old favourites, and getting high on Don't Stop Me Now. Freddie Mercury <3 <3 I heart Mr Fahrenheit!! Remember during the mugging period before Os, we used to play our latest finds over the phone? LOL, stuff like the Beachboys and 8 yr old Aaron Carter. Stupid McFly songs :p Oh! And lusting over the sexy Adam Levine.

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in
But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
And I would gladly hit the road get up and go if I knew
That someday it would bring me back to you
That someday it would bring me back to you

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

Fingers trace your every outline
Paint a picture with my hands
Back and forth we sway like branches in a storm
Change the weather still together when it ends

That may be all I need
In darkness she is all I see
Come and rest your bones with me
Driving slow on sunday morning
And I never want to leave

But things just get so crazy living life gets hard to do
Sunday morning rain is falling and I’m calling out to you
Singing someday it’ll bring me back to you
Find a way to bring myself home to you

=====

I’ve been the needle and the thread
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
Patiently wait to hear the words you’ve never said

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry

I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing til dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city’s made us crazy and we must get out

This not goodbye she said
It is just time for me to rest my head
She does not walk she runs instead
Down these jagged streets and into my bed

Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry

I’m lifting you up
I’m letting you down
I’m dancing til dawn
I’m fooling around
I’m not giving up
I’m making your love
This city’s made us crazy and we must get out

=====

After school
Walking home
Fresh dirt under my fingernails
And I can smell hot asphalt
Cars screech to a halt to let me pass
And I cannot remember
What life was like through photographs
Trying to recreate images life gives us from our past

And sometimes it’s a sad song

But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I’ve been cryin’
Cause things ain’t how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles from the sun

Moving on down the street
I see people I won’t ever meet
Think of her, take a breath
Feel the beat in the rhythm of my steps
And sometimes it’s a sad song

But I cannot forget
Refuse to regret
So glad I met you
Take my breath away
Make everyday
Worth all of the pain that I have
Gone through
And mama I’ve been cryin’
Cause things ain’t how they used to be
She said the battles almost won
And we’re only several miles from the sun

The rhythm of her conversation
The perfection of her creation
The sex she slipped into my coffee
The way she felt when she first saw me
Hate to love and love to hate her
Like a broken record player
Back and forth and here and gone
And on and on and on and on

Haha...Loved that line about the asphalt. Only Adam Levine can make a line about asphalt sound so sexy. Oh man, remember slipping sex into the coffee? Whatever happened to Maroon 5? :(

What else was there? Suddenly the phrase, "And BOTH my arms were brooookennnnnnn" comes to mind! Remember arguing over the tune of "We get high in back seats of cars"? Smuggling cd booklets into class and singing during lessons...Feels as though those days were sooo long ago, but it's only really been 2/3 yrs?

Also, I kinda got started on our etsy store...check out our banner thingy here. That's all for now. Gonna go listen to some Maroon 5 now. Hahahaha.

Royal Copenhagen...and bringing sexy back!

Firstly, I must apologise for the blurry pics...forgot to bring my digicam along so we had to take the snapshots with my phone :/

And I must also apologise for what I believe is about to be a very crappy and slipshod commentary. Been absolutely lazy these days and I guess a picture says a thousand words. (I know...it's a lame excuse for lazyass people who can't be bothered to write properly)



Anyway, Royal Copenhagen is this curious tea lounge place on level-two of Taka. Yes! The department store! It's tucked away in the secluded corner, right next to Burberry.

Food aside, the fancy tableware was definitely very impressive. I think posh would be the word. Fancy plates, teapots, cups, sugarcups...everything!

O, Behold!

A quaint winter scene....

...a quirky Ikea mug!

So we ordered a pair of scones. Not the greatest around. Crappy synthetic jam. A major plus point was the the butter. Look closely at the picture below...the butter comes finely sliced and rolled up perfectly into a...roll. :D


Then we had a Lemon Cheesecake, which was much more satisfactory than the lackluster scones. Note: The plate looks familiar doesn't it? I just realised how crappy the photos are. The cake doesn't look remotely appetizing.


Anyway, on the whole, the experience there was not all that great. Maybe we went at a bad timing. We had to put up with loud taitais who find it necessary to scream into the handphones or at each other, and young mothers who can't control their wailing kids. The lady who served us was creepy...taking good service to a whole new robotic level :p

Here's a treat:


Well, happy belated St Patrick's Day and an early Easter! We're bringing sexy baaAAaack!!

It's scary how the long school break has turned me into such a bum...

...but i like it! Haha.

catching up

You guys must must must try this! It's Godiva's Chocolate-dipped Pirouettes and it's really very nice. Although it's looks thin and crumbly, the biscuit is actually harder and crisper than it looks. And sweeter. Yet it still retains that buttery goodness. It's really fantastic because I actually can't decide which is nicer, the chocolate or the biscuit, which is a very rare occurence indeed, haha.

Anyway, we have a new fridge upstairs, and it's terrible. Snacking is so much easier now! Before we got this, it was alright because I'm always too lazy to go downstairs to look for food. But now, the chocolate pirouettes are just a corridor away >.<

Okay, now for the very overdue updates. First up, food from patty's birthday dinner at equinox. Food wasn't too bad, had a funny waiter and loud comments from Maddy about the food/place/service just as the waiter walked by. Food was a very Asian though, wasn't expecting it. My brother said it's always been like that. Well, was my first time there.


Okay, let's see if I remember what's in this: Rockmelon, honey figs, asparagus, rocket leaves and parma ham with orange conserve. This was pretty good, other than the conserve which tasted alright but really looked like soy sauce.


Some tomyam tasting (but without the spiciness) soup. Was alright I guess.


Foie gras with honey cake and kumquats(?). The foie gras tasted alright, just that I couldn't stop thinking about how it was liver and bloody. I'm probably never ever going to eat one again =/ the honey cake was nice too, as were the orange peel/kumquats.


Main course! Wagyu beef with mushrooms and choy sum. And they had thin slices of fried lotus on top, quite pretty. This dish was good, I liked it a lot =) Although it mostly tasted like the mushrooms, choy sum plus gravy dish that you get at chinese dinners, haha. Think the other alternative main course was some fish dish, can't really remember.


Next is dessert, which I don't have a good picture of. Chocolate bar with mint ice cream. Chocolate cake was really good and rich, the sort I like, but cannot always finish, haha. Loved the crunchy biscuit layer at the bottom and the absence of sponge cake, it was so sad that I couldn't finish it, not after all the food before =(


Okay, next, Hainan Island! Not gonna show much pictures, just the more interesting things. Cos well, there weren't many pretty things at all =p


We stopped at a restaurant for lunch on the first day. This is how they serve their rice! Cute right? It's lor mai kai-sized, so quite small. You need about two bowls each, maybe more for guys. But it's cool, because they cook the rice in those individual claypots, not scoop it over when it's cooked. Not sure if it actually tastes better, but it was cute, haha.


A sign in the hotel bathroom. 'Natural spring water please don't be drunk usefulness'. This is the hotel we stayed in in the city.


This is called a san jiao mao (3 legged cat), because it has 3 wheels, which makes for dangerous driving. Our transport from the hotel to the village. It's usually used to transport goods, not people, but that doesn't stop anybody. It's terribly bumpy, and apparently it used to be worse cos there weren't those wooden benches to sit on, but metal poles. Talk about numb butt O_O Okay, but what's truly special about this vehicle is not it's red-blue-white-auntie-plastic-bag roof, but the fact that it runs on a lawnmower engine! And believe me, it feels and sounds exactly like you're riding on a lawnmower! Fancy that! These chinese are pretty ingenious, I'm impressed. Oh, and because the road to the village is mostly clay (we can't take the highway cos the lawnmower's too slow), the dust cloud is incredible! It's about 2 storeys high, and blurs the road so much I'm surprised the motorists don't all die of suffocation. Didn't get a good picture, but it actually is quite pretty, in the stark way.


Elena's horrifying angkukueh-turtle thing. She actually ate it.


One of the estates in the city. Looks like how I imagine hongkong to look like, haha. The photo on the left reminded me of Kungfu Hustle! Most of the city is like this though. The village is even more rundown, haha, but looks more like china.


Oh yeah, had tea at Royal Copenhagen in Takashimaya with Maddy recently, think she has the pictures. The cakes are alright, scones not so much. Overpriced though, so I wouldn't particularly recommend it. Maybe the food is good, but as far as tea goes, there are better places.

Okay that's it for now, time for another biscuit =D
