A very meaningful song.... Love Me by JJ Heller

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He’s the kid with the story no one would believe
He prays every night, “Dear God won’t you please
Could you send someone here who will love me?”

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She’s the woman whose husband has run away
She’ll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would’ve stayed
And she says…

Who will love me for me?
Not for what I have done or what I will become
Who will love me for me?
‘Cause nobody has shown me what love, what love really means

He’s waiting to die as he sits all alone
He’s a man in a cell who regrets what he’s done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
“Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home”

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said
“I know you’ve murdered and I know you’ve lied
I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you’ll listen, I’ll tell you that I...”

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done or what you will become
I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew

Listen to it here.

Playing with my Hipstamatic

Here's some photos that I took after dinner at Epicurious @ Robertson Quay today... "Where's dinner?".. well, I was so hungry that I didn't manage to take any photos of my meal until my plate was empty and I thought to myself, I should have taken a photo... :)

April : Cherry Blossom Season : Meet the Princesses

Have you met my Cherry Blossoms princesses? You might have as I featured them in my April newsletter. Click here to subscribe.

April is a season of Cherry Blossoms especially so in Japan. It is a such a big festival that people often take long lunches just to enjoy the beautiful view at the park under the Cherry Blossom trees.

In view of this beautiful and significant festive, I have created 3 beautiful necklaces of these princesses.

Who do you think is the fairest of them all?

Happy Easter!!

It's been so long since I had a good long break... (ok..I know I just took leave during my birthday but it's different! :p ) This week has been awfully quiet (at work) I guess most people took leave to fully utilise the long weekend. I had nothing plan this weekend, just to stay home, chill, shop and probably house cleaning. :) How about you?

Anyhow, I still had time to window shop on Etsy. Here's some goodies that I found!

Happy Birthday to ME!

Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Me
Happy Birthday to Meeeeeeeeeee
Happy Birthday to ME!

Yes! It's my birthday today and I had a awesome day! Here's why

1. Brunch with the horses
   Had a wonderful brunch at the Riders Cafe which is next to a stable of horses and a horse riding school. It's just so serene and peaceful having my crabmeat vin blanc pasta and watching the horse trotting by. I was with my hubby of cos. You may be surprised but this is a rare sight in Singapore to find a place like this.
   
   
2. Presents from my Sister (down under)
   I just received 6 books (hurray!) from my sister who's in Sydney. I love her to bits. These books just made my day!

Here's a segment from one of the books I received, especially for those whose birthday is today

========
You are naturally industrious and self-sufficient. For those you love, you will exert all your energies toward making them happy. You are very affectionate, especially intuitive, somewhat psychic, and never enthusiastic.

It's quite true for me. It takes alot for me to be enthusiastic. Is it true for you?

Movies - Dvds Galore

I bought 3 DVDs (1 blu-ray, 2 normal DVD) this weekend. I have watched these shows before but I think I will watch them again, thus I purchased the DVDs to keep as a memento or when friends come over.

Here's what I bought

1. Clash of the Titans (1981)
   - I watched this during my uni days in Australia (borrowed it from the school library) during one of the winter nights. I thought it was really funny watching the "technology" of those times and how much we have improved now. There is a coming re-make of this movie soon, thus it is just fitting that I watched the original one again.
   
   
   
2. Labyrinth (1986)
   - This is MY FAVORITE movie of all time. I love love love (repeat this 1million times) this so much. I remember watching this when I was a kid under the recommendation of my art teacher in our pursuit of creativity. I "fell in love" with David Bowie in the show.. hahaha :) I still love Bowie.. but not as much these days.. The show is great. Love it.. I still love to watch it again and again. Alot more creativity and twist than the recent Alice in Wonderland I must say.
   
   
3. The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
   - Okay. I bought this for the fashion mainly.. humor & Meryl Streep. It is one of the shows and I would have it on the TV when I organise a all-girls get together at my place.

What do you think of these movies and have you bought any DVDs recently?

Treasury - Spice Up Your Life

It's been a while since any of my items got featured in a Treasury. It is always an honor and an AWESOME feeling to be included! I feel so much loved when that happens. This time, my Chupa Chups Lollipop necklace was featured (the purple grape one). It makes its mark on the Main Treasury called "Spice Up Your Life" by flapperdoodle. It is a collection of all 90s favorites e.g. Spice girls... :)

Here are some of my favorites.

1. Vintage Ruby Slippers by vintagemarmalade
   - These shoes are so Yummy! They reminded me of Dorothy's Red Shoes from Wizard of Oz. Er.. It's red right? .. But sob! :( Why is it in size 8?! I am a 5.. way off. It's really pretty and glittery, nevertheless.
   
   
   
2. Black and Gold Glitter Long Sleeve, Open Back Mini Dress by PiidaDiida
   - This is SO SO sexy! I would wear this in a heartbeat. I love the open back. Great for girls night out partying.
   
   
   
3. Chupa Chups Lollipop Necklace - Grape Purple by Piggy
   - Lastly my cute retro lollipop necklace. Seriously, I think the purple color is alot nicer in real life as compared to my photos. I think the necklace is totally adorable. My favorite is the green one. :)
