Song Sharing Sunday #220 - David Guetta ~ Titanium

I have heard this song countless times
Yet, it was only this month did I found out that the singer was a MAN!
....and a charming one too...
*jaws dropped*

The lyrics are so encouraging to the hearts of those who are being misunderstood, criticised and discouraged.
This song is for all of you out there who feel that its a waste of breath trying to clear your name to people who have already stereotyped who you are, when its totally not who you are....

Well, this week's dedication is for myself too...
I did a calculation for myself...
And indeed, this year is a year of being misunderstood by others...
Just 4 months into 2013
and there are already 4 cases
So better to stay low profile this year to prevent more unhappy events from happening....
I still have 8 more months to go and I want them to be joyful for me.
*small smile*

Every Song reminds me of a person, an event, a place, a smell, a taste....a secret, do you have a song to share today?


Titanium ~ David Guetta

You shout it loud, but I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized, but all your bullets ricochet
you shoot me down, but I get up

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down, but it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud, not saying much

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
fire away, fire away
ricochet, you take your aim
fire away, fire away
you shoot me down, but I won't fall

I am titanium
you shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

Stone hard, machine gun
Fired at the ones who run
Stone hard, as bulletproof glass

You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down, but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium

Song Sharing Sunday #219 - Pink ~ Just Give Me A Reason

When I first heard this song on the car radio, I turned to hubby and said: "Sounds like Pink's voice."
And we waited patiently for the song to end, hoping that DJ Yasminne would reveal the name of the song and singer's name.
Whoo-hoo!
Bingo!
First guess and it was right!

Second time posting Pink's song on my Song Sharing Sunday meme.
Starting to love her powerful voice.
Not the Celine Dion type of powerful, but she has amazing strength and charisma when she sings.
love, Love, LOVE!!!
 ........especially the lyrics.........

Just Give Me A Reason ~ Pink

Right from the start
You were a thief 

You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them

Now you've been talking in your sleep 

oh oh
Things you never say to me 

oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough 

Of our love 

Our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine
Oh we had everything
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everything
And its all in your mind
Yeah but this is happening
You've been having real bad dreams
Oh oh
You used to lie so close to me
Oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets
Between our love, our love, oh our love, our love

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

I never stopped
You're still written in the scars on my heart
Your not broken just bent and we can learn to love again

Oh tears ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason
Just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again
It's in the stars
It's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Oh We can learn to love again

Oh We can learn to love again

Ooohh 

That we're not broken just bent
And we can learn to love again

Attraction (Shadow Act) in Britain's Got Talent 2013

Watched this performance and loved it instantly.
Talent is in the ability to play with lights and shadows cast
Talent is in the unity to work together harmoniously
Talent is in the story....
a True Story....
which moved many hearts....
and left many teary.....

Progress of New House ~ Update 17 (FINALE)

A simple BEFORE and AFTER Photo-post to wrap up this series of blog posts on the renovation progress of my New House.

It is the LONGEST post among all the updates.
Not in terms of words, but in terms of the length you need to scroll down to reach the end of the post.

75 PHOTOS!!!
Take a DEEP BREATH....
 and Here We Go...................

LIVING ROOM

A LONGER living room now, after we shifted the storeroom into the kitchen.

Before the renovation, if I stand AT the Master Bedroom Door, facing the living room, I would be looking at the storeroom door; as it stood directly infront of me.

Now that we have moved our storeroom to the Kitchen, I will see my dining area instead with the storeroom on the right with the storeroom door at the left corner.

KITCHEN

We prefer to have a longer living room to a bigger kitchen. 

Actually, after we shifted the storeroom to the kitchen, I still like the size of my kitchen.

I would still regard the size of my 'shortened' kitchen as big.

*smile*

Many who came to my house could not tell that the storeroom was actually using the kitchen space because :~

• we LEVELED the path/walkway which linked the living room to the kitchen.
• we positioned the storeroom door to face the living room area (see photos of my storeroom above)

Its fun to use a little visual effect to make what's not to become what is or the other way round. *Grin*

The previous owner, a very friendly and nice old auntie, used to hang her clothes parallel to the kitchen windows, above the rubbish chute (scroll a few photos up and you can see her bamboo holder mounted on the ceiling.)

I used to have that Same Position for my bamboo holder in my old house and I disliked it, especially when I was drying long garments and bedsheets because :-

1. It blocked some sunlight and hence made my kitchen looked dimmer than it actually is.
2. When I need to close the windows, I will need to push the dangling garments away, which are hanging from the bamboos, to prevent my hair/face from being brushed.
3. Going in and out of the toilet also causes discomfort too as the dangling garments will comb the top of my hair.
4. Bringing the bamboos out to sun also requires me to turn the bamboo 45degrees, in order to get the bamboos out of the windows.

Enough is Enough.
Therefore, in my new house, I prevented all the above from happening by simply repositionimg the bamboo holders to the spot which you see in the last photo.

Now, even if I am hanging my bedsheets, I can comfortably walk into my kitchen without worrying if I need to push the dangling bedsheets away because there is still a good 1.5m of empty space from the entrance to the bamboo holder.
*Thumbs Up*

I love every part of my house.
But the part I love the most is actually my Master Bedroom toilet!
Probably the last place anyone would rank it on the top of their favourite list..........
 *laugh*

Aright,
that's it folks!
Its the Finale....
No encore please....'cos there isn't anymore to show!
 THE END.
*wink*
