I'm so lovin' the Editor's wishlist on Matchbook Mag . I'm having a pretty flower power week and truly appreciating Chinese-French inspired decor, like this awesome gallery on Luscious . Which reminds me, I need to flower-up my place this June! We're celebrating a whole string of weddings which might probably lead to an overload of wedding loves. :D HAPPY WEEKEND~!

Today

Image
From birdinacagebride.com Today, it suddenly dawned upon me that by this time next year, I'd be waking up and instead of hearing my mom pottering about the kitchen, I'd be the one toasting bread and making coffee for the man who would be a permanent fixture in my life. It's a strange thought. One which I've for the longest time refused to think about. I said YES in February, and then folded the BIG M and tucked it neatly into a box. It was perhaps fear of the unknown or apprehension about the whole idea. Or maybe it was just a fleeting feeling that there's so much yet to be done. So I hit pause. But today, I took a peek at it. I took the idea of marriage out of that box, unfolded it and I looked at it long and hard. Today, it didn't scare me. It looked right back at me and winked. And I hugged it. The Big M is now pinned to my mirror. Everytime i look at it, I'm reminded of the sappy yet utterly beautiful poem by Ludwig van Beethoven - Immortal Beloved. And

Music Monday: Lykke Li

Music Monday today will feature Lykke Li. I think I've featured ' I'm Good. I'm Gone ' on one of my other blogs before. There's just something about her. Jason doesn't care much for her and laughs everytime I play her videos but ...pfftt.... whatever. Her second studio album 'Wounded Rhymes' is out and it's got this sad, melancholic sorta feel about it. You should totally check out 'Sadness is a Blessing' directed by Tarik Saleh. It sorta captures the whole mood of the album. My absolute favourite track is 'Love out of Lust' . Not a normally likeable title for me but, the song's pretty cool. :) Check it!

i wonder when it is that... people stop trying....

Music Monday: Future of Forestry

Image
Future of Forestry is an ecclectic Christian rock band from San Diego California. They were previously known as Something Like Silas which consisted of a husband-wife team but unfortunately their marriage fell apart and after some time, Future of Forestry was born. The name "Future of Forestry" is taken from a poem of the same name by British author C. S. Lewis. I'm sooo glad Eric Owyoung didn't quit the scene alltogether. He's just so mighty talented and his songs are just so full of emotion. They're on Twitter @forestry so do check them out!

Awesome video Michelle managed to take at the KL leg of the Switchfoot Asian tour. This is one of my all-time favourites!

midnight musings

succinct song titles make up a poem of sorts. We dared to move and learned to breathe and then there was Only Hope no longer 24 not Incomplete we looked at the Stars Turning everything over, cause living is simple I'm more than fine, you're not the mess of me The shadow proves the sunshine The Sound of the fatal wound The Setting Sun, owh what a Beautiful Letdown you're Home we are one tonight, so long and Goodnight Punk. * can't ever go wrong with Switchfoot. :D
