It maybe a little too early to say this but... this definitely goes into our wedding "itunes" haha.

This guy's talent is just pure awesome. You should hear the accapella version. It's good.

I guess what makes this song send shivers inside of me is because there is power and control to his voice

and most importantly, the lyrics that makes up the whole song. the vibe, the mood. You can just relate to it.

Yeah.. i know, getting all lovey dovey here but doesn't it put a smile onto your face

when you recall the times with your special someone? :)

Well, I do.

And I'll be forever smiling coz I know my man loves me inside out, good or bad. happy or sad. :)

strike whilst the iron is hot... Just one of my laid back moments.

There are times when I’m lying in my bed
Hug my pillow and cry from this tip again
And my eyes are like windshields on a rainy day
Almost rubbed down, swelling, as I keep on
Dipping my face in these cold hands of mine
Heaven knows how bitter I am

‘Cause this angel has flown away from me
Leaving me in drunken misery
I should have clipped her wings and made her mine
For all eternity

Now this angel has flown away from me
Thought I had the strength to set her free
Did what I did because I love her so
Will she ever find her way back home to me

I’m so tired, I feel like catching forty winks
Being up all night in this elbow room
That puts me in a trance
Where hopes and dreams come true
Now my lips are burning and my eyes are hurting
From this fuse I mixed till I light another
Cigarette just to pass my time, oh
Heaven knows how bitter I am.

Hi...

Meet my new TREAT..

His name is MONTE CARLO.

He's edible and yummy for your tummy...

Especially when you're having tea~ :)

Well, Arnott's has done it again (in my point of view) creating another bliss treat aside from the famous timtams. It's actually Raspberry flavoured cream biscuits and I feel that the price is very reasonable. For only $3.45 you'll get 12 servings of this "heaven" and the size is just right. Nothing more, Nothing less.

I just love it. teehee~

Cheerios! :P

I had to download kanye west's love lockdown 4 times today...

I know I know. I'm a little outdated but honestly, Im not really a big fan of kanye..

Not until because of this...

I have no idea why but I like his version of love lockdown here. It was on remix I think. Oh well, Sounds good to me.

hehe. I like the beat though. So here you go...

Surprisingly I am free at the moment so.. here's a little update about work.

I'm currently taking my 5th module there was some error in my previous post but anyway...

I have 4 subjects to juggle with for the whole of 3 months and 1 design competition to join in which i'll be notified further tomorrow. Tons of projects piled up in front me but I think it's going to be great... Hmm..

I'll be doing a Cd Album, CD booklet and 3 freebies that comes with it.. the twist to it is I can't promote someone that has a record or album so that means to say, I have to choose somebody with non-singing background etc.

Next one is a Book Cover. No computers or software are allowed in designing the book. So we are kicking it old school. haha So, everything will be handmade. Even the hard cover. Ehhh.. interesting eh? :) Even that made me excited. lol

The last one is a food packaging, so we have to pick a FMCG (fast moving consumer good). It's basically products that you see in a supermarket that people purchase everyday e.g. canned foods, dairy products and the likes. So we are going to re-design the packages and make it look "nice & pretty" in a designers point of view.

*takes deep breath* I love my career. It may sound stressful and busy but... I'm a designer.. a Jet setter.. an Artist in my own imagination. Thank you god for giving me a brain that's full of creative juices. lol :)

Sometimes... responses such as this happens. Especially if you're having a bad day or just frustrated with work coz you can't seem to be getting great ideas. It's funny but everyone wants their work to be perfect. Even me. :)

I woke up this morning feeling kind of blue
and I stumbled out of bed
and dragged my feet across the room
Right outside my front door was a rose
and a note that said 'Somebody Loves You'

But out on the street it starts to pour
and before I get soaking wet,
A total stranger runs to give me
the jacket off his back
I turn around to thank him
But he waves me with a smile
I can hardly believe my eyes
He puts on a halo and starts to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look at Paradise
You could be next to
an angel in disguise

I met a good friend for lunch
and we had a delicious meal
But I forgot to bring my wallet
I felt like an imbecile
But she was sweet, she gave me a treat and
Bought me a chicken sandwich
To take home for tea

But out on the street with nothing to eat
A man and his shopping cart go
Travelling to places,
Collecting social graces
I give him my sandwich
and we chatter for a while
I see a rainbow wash over his eyes
He gives me his halo and
I start to fly

Take a look at the ordinary
Don't need to look for Paradise
You could be next to an angel in disguise

Don't try to hide away from me
I know you're by my side

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of new.

Health Facts about Chocolate:

by facts-about-chocolate.com

Is chocolate good for you? Yes! The health benefits of chocolate are many... assuming we're talking about the same thing, that is. I'm talking about chocolate in its purest form - as close to the bean as you can get. If you want me to tell you a Milky Way bar is good for you, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

That doesn't mean, however, that there aren't any chocolate bars that are good for you. The key is to find a bar with high cocoa content. The higher the cocoa content, the less room there is for cocoa butter, sugar, lecithin, vanilla, milk, and other stuff that makes chocolate less of a vegetable and more of a candy.

Some of you may be thinking that a dark chocolate bar is bitter or yucky. If you aren't a fan of dark chocolate, you've probably never had the good stuff.

So just what are the amazing health benefits of chocolate? Most notably, chocolate is a champion antioxidant. Antioxidants help rid the body of free radicals, nasty little molecules running amok in your body which cause aging and disease. Antioxidants bond to free radicals and whisk them from your body via digestion and other means.

Antioxidant-rich diets have been linked to a lowered risk of heart attacks, stroke, cardiovascular disease, cancer, high blood pressure, cholesterol problems, arthritis, asthma, Alzheimer's and more. So it stands to reason that if chocolate is chock full of antioxidants, it's actually good for you.

Naysayers will point out that chocolate is loaded with fat, sugar, and caffeine. It's true that cocoa butter, the main source of fat (besides milk) in chocolate, is composed of both saturated and unsaturated fats, but most of this, about 75%, is in the form of oleic and stearic acids. Diets rich in these acids have been shown to lower cholesterol levels. While 25% of the fat in chocolate is "the bad kind," the amount of good fat in chocolate seems to counteract the bad fat. And, as with all chocolates, the darker they are the less room there is for things like cocoa butter, and the more room for that healthy antioxidant-packed cocoa.

The bottom line is that indulging in a small amount of dark chocolate might be the perfect dessert - satisfying your sweet tooth while treating your body to the many health benefits of chocolate. So next time you're craving dessert, reach for the dark chocolate, and hold the guilt.

October's here again. Last few days came by so quickly and I can't barely remember what have I done during my week holidays. oh well, here I am again. Making my first october post.

My apologies for missing in action and not updating my blog that often as compared before. It's just that I have no idea what to write at the moment. I guess that's what you call lack of inspiration. LOL My brain took a leave from my artsy reality and kind of idle around for a short while.

Anyway.. how did I spend my week holiday?

Well, first things first.. I have finally dyed my hair into something obvious unlike before. Surprisingly, it came out really good for someone who dyed her hair by herself. haha Moving on, my relatives came over specifically my grand ma and my aunt, and I became their tour guide for the week. It went great at first but recently had a big argument/ misunderstanding with my aunt. For which I am not going to elaborate further coz its not even worth talking about.

And here I am, sitting in front of my computer blogging the time away. Mind you, today is the last day of my holidays which just means...monday classes officially resume.

Monday Monday.. let's see what's new. *checks time table* Oh that sucks. haha what a reaction. All my classes are shift to morning class which just means I need to wake up early almost every day. Personally, I am not a morning person. I don't like waking up early unless its necessary in which, in this case.. I have to force myself. LOL

Well, I'll be doing my 4th module which is awesome coz I will be learning new things again.. A new challenge for myself and I hope I can handle it. :)

Anyway, enough about work~ I am glad its october coz I'll be seeing ross soon. haha Im happy that he'll be staying for quite a long period of time which is good. I like having him around. :)

I love you sweetie.. 47 more days to go. Hang in there~~

Oh yea? have you guys heard "falling for you" by colbie caillat? :)

You should check it out if you haven't. It's awesome. ;)
