I can't sleep, I don't want to sleep. I want 2 meet you and have a chat with u. Why don't we sit down for awhile? Just you and me.

We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things

Dear you,

It's been awhile since I wanted to write something about someone.
Now is the time. His name is Jason Thomas Mraz.


(Yea, after seeing some of his photos, I decided to put this one)

It was all started when I heard that he's coming to perform here in Singapore. I was like hmm, okay it's Jason Mraz, should I go or should I not. I'd go only because he's a famous international singer with his hit singles "I'm Yours" and "Lucky". I listened to his previous album but easily get bored after awhile. Okay, so it didn't really matter after awhile. Then, when I started to search his live performances in YouTube, I began to like him. He is just such an amazing talented singer/ songwriter. I began to LOVE him when I read his blog. I knew the blog from my colleague, Fis. She is also a BIG FAN. She likes him since his first album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come. So, the blog says much about him, his life and his vision about life itself. Then, I decided that I MUST GET HIS CONCERT TICKET! When I checked, the concert was SOLD OUT in Sistic. I was so disappointed, cos I really really wanted to see him perform.

To make the long story short, in the end I got the ticket from a woman named KC Ong, who was selling her ticket because her friend couldn't go. I was really extremely happy! So, on March 5, 2009, I was there watching him singing LIVE! His performance was really amazing, he made me dance! I am not the type of girl who dance, he really "moved" me ;D


(I bought this CooL t-shirt, which I love very much)

Jason has been an inspiration to me. He's just amazingly influencing me on how I see life. He's very positive. He's very into peace and love. He's a very laid-back kind of guy. He's a raw foodist and really cares about the Earth. He said to live life one day at a time. He is also spiritual in some ways, which I like. There's just many reasons to make you love him. Basically, I just listened to his songs, read his blogs and searched for his videos if I wanted to relax and have some good times. Yeah, he taught me on how to have a good time. Plus, he's just so sexy and super COOL!

Before he did a record, he was singing in a cafe called Java Joe's. What's so great is that he didn't use any microphones when he sings in this cafe. I'll show you one clip of his song "On Love, In Sadness" (which I am currently listening very much) so that you can start falling in love with him.

On Love, In Sadness


Lyric:

Oh love its a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
Its not falsified to say that I found God so inevitably well,
It still exists pale and fine. I cant dismiss
And I wont resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain endure.
The rust and the rain are sins
And Im in like flynn again

So go on place your order now cause some other time is right around the clock
You can stand in line. it finally begins just around the clock
You can have your pick if your stomach is sick whether you eat or not
And there is just one thing that I never forgot

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind, rust and in the rain so easy
These are the comforts that be

You see well Im feeling lucky oh well, maybe thats just me
You should be proud of me oh hell if you could only see
That were gonna grow on up to be, ah yes
We are thick as thieves

Oh love its a brittle madness, I sing about it in all my sadness
Its not falsified to say that I found god
Inevitably, well it still exists pale and fine I cant dismiss
And I wont resist and if I die well at least I tried

And we just lay awake in lust and rust in the rain
And pour over everything we say we trust
It happened again, I listened in thru hallways and thin doors
Where the rivers unwind and the rust and the rain endure
(the rust and the rain endure. Im sure.)

I am insofar to know the measure of love isnt loss
Love will never ever be insofar to know the measure of love isnt loss
Love will never ever be lost on me.
Love will never ever be lost on me.

Anyways, until today I haven't got his CD yet. So as you may know my birthday is coming in April. Here's the CD cover, just to let you know :)


Out!

Full Circle.

Bintang's room, 1:12 am

Tonight, I didn't really want to sleep. As I was always the first one to sleep, tonight I didn't. I am not sure whether it was the effect of the coffee (which had caused me to go do the "big" thing :p) or it was me that just need some time alone. After these whole one week of hard work, I think I kind of need some time to reflect on myself.

(Haha, just now I want to take picture of myself being awake at this time, since I need to increase the brightness of the monitor, my friend showed a sign that she's awaking, so I didn't managed to take it Xd)

Anyways, lately I've been wanting to go far. Australia or California- these two locations kept floating on my mind, following me all around, wanting me to come over there. I am curious of how they work, how they enjoy their life. I often heard, Australia is a very laid-back country, whilst California is a very relax and fun place. Working and living in Singapore gave a hell lots of stress in me. My mind always wonder how can Australian go home at 5 PM when I am still working until 12 midnight? How can people living in Los Angeles go to the beach, surf and enjoying life? It's just so far from me. It would be damn nice if I am in their position!

Let's take a look at what Mr. A-Z will say about it:

It takes a crane to build a crane
It takes two floors to make a story
It takes an egg to make a hen
It takes a hen to make an egg
There is no end to what I'm saying

It takes a thought to make a word
And it takes some words to make an action
And it takes some work to make it work
It takes some good to make it hurt
It takes some bad for satisfaction

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la

It takes a night to make it dawn
And it takes a day to make you yawn brother
And it takes some old to make you young
It takes some cold to know the sun
It takes the one to have the other

And it takes no time to fall in love
But it takes you years to know what love is
And it takes some fears to make you trust
It takes some tears to make it rust
It takes the dust to have it polished

Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la

It takes some silence to make sound
And it takes a loss before you found it
And it takes a road to go nowhere
It takes a toll to make you care
It takes a hole to MAKE a mountain

Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life goes full circle
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la la life is full of
Ah la la la la la life is so full of love
Ah la la la la la life is wonderful
Ah la la la la la la life is meaningful
Ah la la la la la life is full of
Ah la la la la la life is so full of love

(thanks)

Life goes full circle! I must say it takes a hard work to make it work. It doesn't sound as good as his lyrics, but I tried.

I will be there someday (=

I will.



Out!

You choose.

Dear you,

My iPod shuffle's earphone was dirty this morning. I was a bit sad as I couldn't hear any Jason Mraz nor Don Moen songs during the long journey to office.

Yesterday, I was working on NTUC projects. There were a lot of things needed to be done. The main AD is about NTUC's March Holidays promotions and it will be published in newspapers. There were other adaptations for web banners, notus standee, plasma and others. Jeanie, my Senior Designer were working with me. She's nice. I learnt many photoshop shortcuts and design layout from her.

Last night, we stayed very late, I was very tired and sooo sleepy. Jeanie told me to endure. She mentioned how she was often went home on the next day when she started her junior days. She said that's how people can get to be senior. At that time, my mind started to asked many questions. Is this what I wanted in life? Do I want to go back until midnight everyday? Is this the way to get what I wanted? Is this the way to succeed?

There are so many ways people take their steps to achieve their dream/ so called "success". Never in my mind, I want to follow the way Jeanie's has passed. In college days, there were some speakers who came. They are all this successful art director, copywriter and so on. They always mentioned how they often go home very late and some of them even said they have no life. Hearing that, I always talked to myself I don't want to choose that kind of life. I want to have a life, not a working life.

As I am working in an Advertising agency, it is so likely that I will be experiencing it. I believe there is no easy way to achieve great things. For now, I feel it's not the right way to do it. BUT, I'll endure it (at least for another 2 months).

Me.

*Currently loving Jason Mraz "Who Needs Shelter?"

so this is it

So this is it.

I've decided to put on some effort in writings.
Writing more post with stories of my life and what I learned from it.

Cheers :)
