Music for the Soul

  I wanted to refresh the songs in my iPhone and rather than starting afresh, I simply added five albums into iTunes. Two of those happened to be Celtic music – in late 1990′s and early 2000′s, I used to listen to a lot of Celtic music and I thought I should return to an [...]

It’s yesterday once more

  While scanning through all the status updates in Facebook, one of my highschool friends posted a snippet of a song that I recognised. Even though he translated the lyric into English, I knew which song that was. It transported me back to the years when I was in middle school … after that, I [...]

Say good night, Monday

  Equipped with a warm cup of lapsang souchong and Sade’s Soldier of Love to lift my mood, I face Monday evening while the sky opens up to wash the ground. I’ve been feeling out of kilter again today – I’m not sure whether it’s because of the daytrip to Sydney on Saturday or due [...]

Beneath the veneer of age

  The autumny grey weather outside seems to fit the Frysian song that I’m listening to at the moment – I feel like listening to an old Twarres album that I bought many years ago in Amsterdam. Twarres is a duo from the Friesland province in the Netherlands, who sings their songs in English and [...]

The Swell Season – ‘Strict Joy’

  Just like thousands of other people out there, I discovered The Swell Season – the duo that is Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova – from the highly successful and unforgettable 2007 movie ‘Once‘. The songs in the movie are so beautiful and haunting that I decided to buy the soundtrack to the movie, The [...]

The rain made me reminisce

    It finally rained this evening after a series of balmy days in Adelaide – it’s so nice to hear the real pitter-patter of the rain and not just the soft silent shower. Somehow it made me a bit nostalgic, back to my highschool days and to the period of close friendship, insecurities, and [...]

Washing the dust away from the soul

  I have been meaning to write a blog entry today but I actually find it hard to find what to write tonight. I suppose I’m just in a relaxed mood after four eventful days. It’s a short week at the university but it feels that it’s quite packed with things to do and matters [...]

Lazy Saturday morning

  It’s Saturday morning here in Adelaide, nearly 9.30am – there’s no driving school today as Harry is taking a week off. It’s great to get up later and catch some extra snooze as I’m not feeling 100% either. I can feel a cold coming so I’ve been taking some medication to prop me up. [...]

All I want for Christmas is a genie

  After such hectic days in Singapore and Surabaya, it’s a great chance to finally able to relax again and enjoy a breather prior to the second reception on Sunday. I’ve been staying at my fourth sister’s house which is located in an upmarket housing estate not far from where my parents and some of [...]
