Kiss Me

Ed Sheeran

Settle down with me 
Cover me up 
Cuddle me in 
Lie down with me 
Hold me in your arms 

Your heart's against my chest 

Lips pressed to my neck 
I've fallen for your eyes 
But they don't know me yet 

And the feeling I forget 

I'm in love now 

Kiss me like you wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 
Wanna be loved 

This feels like I've fallen in love 

Fallen in love 
Fallen in love 

Settle down with me 

And I'll be your safety 
You'll be my lady 

I was made to keep your body warm 

But I'm cold as, the wind blows 
So hold me in your arms 

My heart's against your chest 

Your lips pressed to my neck 
I've fallen for your eyes 
But they don't know me yet 

And the feeling I forget 

I'm in love now 

Kiss me like you wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 
Wanna be loved 

This feels like I've fallen in love 

Fallen in love 
Fallen in love 

Yeah I've been feeling everything 

From hate to love 
From love to lust 
From lust to truth 
I guess that's how I know you 

So hold you close 

To help you give it up 

So kiss me like you wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 
Wanna be loved 

This feels like I've fallen in love 

Fallen in love 
Fallen in love 

So kiss me like you wanna be loved 

Wanna be loved 
Wanna be loved 

This feels like I've fallen in love 

Fallen in love 
Fallen in love

How can girls not fall in love with someone who sings like this... Sigh...

So many thoughts flew by this month and I didn't capture them. Wonder where they all went.

Passion Run.

Off I go running early in the morning.

Signed up for a 4km run (I know it's nothing much) but I began regretting it the moment my alarm clock rang at 6am in the morning. Who wakes up at 6am in the morning anyway... Thoughts crossed my mind: maybe if I pretended to oversleep, or maybe if it pours, maybe I can just go back to sleep...

Didn't work, so ended up waiting in line patiently with the hundreds of wannabe runners about a few hundred metres away from the starting line (cos the queue was that long), and went off.. to a staggering start as we tried to manoeuvre (I still can't spell this odd word) around mothers pushing prams, old couples taking a hike, some sightseeing ladies and some angsty youths.

Not a long run, but I started to feel the stress on my underworked heart and lungs and legs and then you begin to hear the yells. The very enthusiastic volunteers along the road yelling at the runners to go on, it's just 1km left, there's free yoghurt at the end of it all, come on, you can do it. The energy's infectious and the runners pick up their speed (or it could be the free yoghurt after all).

And... it's over.

Bikini Workout Part 2

Part 2 makes it sound like I'm actually working out.

But the actual sad news is that I don't have a resistance band so I guess I'm giving up. I've tried one of the exercise. But surely it wouldn't do if I only train one part of my body. I might actually end up looking pretty weird right.. So.. there goes :D

Experiment. Fail.

Blog Writing Mood

Yeah. I'm in a blog-writing mood.

I'm not sure why.
It's not to clock up the posts. I've only made 4 sad posts these years. My worst year thus far has been 2008 where I made only 13 posts. They are however really exciting posts. Because they have PICTURES. And they're beautiful. And they're happy. They make me smile.

That's what blogs are for right? To keep the happy moments?

Man.. I need to try harder.

Bikini-Ready Body

Somehow blogging stopped becoming a habit once I lost my own place.
I need a room of my own.

Well.. and obviously I'm thinking of Virginia Woolf. 

"Women, then, have not had a dog's chance of writing poetry. That is why I have laid so much stress on money and a room of one's own."
- Virginia Woolf, A Room of One's Own

Anyway, this is about my resolution (kind of like a this-month's resolution) - and a very prosaic and non-intellectual, possibly even anti-intellectual, type of resolution - and yes you are right, it is:-

TO have a bikini-ready body.

Inspired, well, not quite inspired, but just perhaps reminded of it by the SHAPE September Issue - how I received that magazine is yet another story. [Stop rambling!] It has a lovely 2-page sprawl of exercises I could do twice a week for two weeks and I'll have that amazing Bikini-Ready Body it flaunts on its cover page. 

I am going to start this coming week. 
And hopefully two weeks later, I'll remember to blog.
And hopefully, I would have good news. 

Cheers to my bikini-ready body - well, future bikini-ready body at any rate...

It doesn't feel like Singapore today.

Just left the Chinese Gardens. Peaceful, serene, green, conservation. Then the weather, cool, sun, breeze, clear blue sky, azure blue. Unfamiliar buildings. Lush greenery. It's like I came to a foreign place that is strangely familiar.

Today, I feel that Singapore is beautiful.
I can almost leave behind the traffic jams, the frustrations and the congestion. Just me and my home country.

Haven't blogged for some time..
Haven't sorted out my photos for some time..
Haven't sat at home in peace without feeling like I'm forced to do something..

I'm glad I had the time today.

Hopefully I've recharged enough.. to face the new year.

Remembering how we were all once so excited because Cathay Pacific served us ice cream on board..
SIA serves MAGNUM.

Screaming baby - more like 2 year old - behind me. She needs a good smack.

Guy infringing into my space cos he puts his arm on MY arm rest.

No Don 2 on Entertainment set.

Loved the SilverKris articles.. Eyes tired. Too lazy to read up for my meetings. And now I'm too sleepy.. Will leave it for tomorrow. Bet I'll wake up at like 5am anyway.

And just ate my cup noodle so my luggage has more space. Despite the fact that I finished that horrible tandoori chicken wrap at like 7pm Saudi time. It's like 11pm Saudi time now. I'm gonna grow fat.

A little worried about the meetings tomorrow. I hope I know enough...
