Song Sharing Sunday #358 - The Christmas Song ~ Michael Buble

Christmas day may be over.......
but not this heart of mine...
still feeling very Christmas-y.
Maybe that's why there are 12 days of Christmas.
*laugh* 
And at this hour, the best voice to hear, is definitely his!

Song Sharing Sunday #357 - Jess Glynne - Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself

2015 is coming to an end and I looked at my hits and misses, I felt there were areas I could have done so much better and areas I had improved so much that even I surprised myself.

In general, I would say 2015 had been a great year in which I tested my limits and expanded my comfort zone.
There were many times, I felt I had been too hard on myself, but it was during those times that I grew the most........spiritually, mentally and emotionally.

It was not easy at all........
But it was worth it....

Undoubtedly, a good year of self-discovery.

Song Sharing Sunday #356 - G.E.M. - 泡沫

If you had read my profile in this blog, you would know that I have a very special feeling towards bubbles....
Other than what I wrote in that small space, it also reminded me the happiest times I had as a child.
Yet, this song...'Bubble' in Chinese represented tears for a dear friend of mine.



What is bubble to you?

Song Sharing Sunday #354 - Taylor Swift & Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed

Sometimes the most beautiful thing that can happen to a person could be in a split second... a single moment.
It could be someone
It could be a smile
It could be a smell
It could be a taste

Many things can happen in a split second, a magical moment...that could be as big as a life changing event.

When I saw how my 20+ year friend walked the red carpet with the man she loved dearly for many years, the happiness that I felt deep in my heart for her was simply indescribable.

They fell in love with each other at first sight.
In that split second, they knew they had waited for each other all their lives....
The feeling of planted a seed, waited for it to grow, to blossom and to bear fruit...
Its time to harvest!

Extremely happy for you, my dear friend J.
Stay Happy
Stay Blissful
Stay in Love!

Song Sharing Sunday #352 - Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On

My elder boy is ending his Primary School life in less than 1 week's time and this was the song that he and his classmates danced to at the concert meant for his level.

Hubby and I were both disappointed that the school did not open the concert for parents to watch.
Would so love to watch him dance to this!

Song Sharing Sunday #351 - Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars

This is the first time my elder one spent his birthday in a foreign land.
I'm glad at the end of it all, he enjoyed himself.

On the last day, when I saw how much he enjoyed himself, in the Kids Amusement Park in Taiwan, this song started playing in my head when I see him spinning round and round in those thrill rides...


Leaving Taiwan with Big Smile on his face, I know its all worth it!

Song Sharing Sunday #350 - Demi Lovato - Confident

Spending this weekend at the Taiwan Convention with business partners from US, Australia, Taiwan and Malaysia really helped to boost my confidence in this business.

Seeing what has become of Taiwan Market for my International Online Mall Business is like sitting in a time machine to the future of Singapore Market.

The biggest thing that I soooooooooooooo look forward to is having my Online Mall working with the banks in Singapore and have my very own Credit Card.
Every swipe I earn!
How Cool!!!!

US market has it already and now even Taiwan Market has it.
Can't wait for Singapore to have it too!

Song Sharing Sunday #349 - Ellie Goulding - On My Mind

Had a very fulfilling weekend for my brain in the Asia-Pacific Regional Convention.
With a very clear plan on how I can reach my goal, I am really going to work towards it no matter what.
There is really no turning back.
I have walked so many paths in the past that did not give me a clear view of what is to come.
But this......every step can be anticipated.... every hard work put in will be rewarded...

During this weekend, I learned that it is the 'rubbish' in my head that were not removed, which is stopping me from moving forward in my International Online Mall business.
Really need to dump those thoughts on my mind that make me lose self-confidence.

Believe!
I can do it!

Song Sharing Sunday #348 - Fight Song ~ Rachel Platten

In life
there are battles
there are struggles
there are frustrations

But In life
there are also victories
there are also successes
there are also happiness

Most importantly
there is always such a thing called HOPE!
When our life is filled with HOPE, 
Miracles happen!!!

Have faith
Take the LEAP of FAITH
Even when no one else believes in us
So long as we still have one breath, 
we should always FIGHT till we get WHAT WE WANT 
Till we achieve the purpose why we are in this world!

But do you know what's your purpose in life?

Do you Respond to Life or do you React to Life

Today had been a looooooooooong day of celebration for my boys!
Exams over for both!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
*clap clap clap*

We spent some good hours of bonding through playing and laughing together.
Now, for those readers who had been following my blog since years back might wonder if I had played too much and ain't thinking right anymore; and hence am blogging at the wrong blog.
This sounds like it should be posted in my Parenting Blog instead of here, isn't it?

Well,
not so.

Cos my focus for today is........, after a long day of fun, the kids had no trouble finding the Z monster for more fun PLUS hubby granted me my me-time *cheeky wink*, I decided to do some self-reflection.

Actually, this is something that I do o-so-often.
And while I was doing that, I chanced upon a very meaningful story.
Rather, its a speech from a very intelligent man, Sundar Pichai,  CEO of Google Inc.

He shared a story about a cockroach.

Though the story was short, it was exactly what I needed for tonight.
And through that story, I learned that:

I should not react in life.
I should always respond.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas
responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.

An excellent way to understand why things happened or did not happen to our lives.
It was because we hit the panic button too fast.
Too thoughtlessly......

Once again, the phrase that is buried deep in my heart rose again
"When emotions are high, intelligence is low."

Something that I still need to work on constantly
Something that I still need to remind myself daily.

And last but not least, I fell in love with a new phrase:

A person who is HAPPY is

 not  because Everything is RIGHT in his/her Life...

He/she is HAPPY

 because his/her Attitude towards Everything in his/her Life is Right..!!

Song Sharing Sunday #342 - Remember Me This Way ~ Jordan Hill

Feeling a deep sense of gratitude today
When I look back at my 30+ years
I realised I'm very blessed with friends who truly care
Friends who does not hang around often, but whenever I need a listening ear, I am spoiled for choice as to who to turn to.

Family is important
But to me, Friends are Family
So to me, Friends are just as important, especially when emotional support is needed.

Its amazing how many true friendships were built over the years and how many more I'm building right now.
We may not even get to talk for years, but once we meet, no amount of time is enough for us to chat to our heart's content.

Dear friends,
Thank you....
*super hugs*

Song Sharing Sunday #339 - Superheroes - The Script

Now, this is the kind of lyrics that will create a tsunami inside me.
I will start to have images of the ones who are still going through those days, been through those days, survived those days....

I will think of her
I will think of them
I will think of myself...........

When will I start to fly....like a superhero?

Superheroes - The Script

Lyrics :
All her life she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophet's dream for a profit on the street
Now she's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

All his life he's been told
He'll be nothing when he's old
All the kicks and all the blows
He won't ever let it show
'Cos he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes
'Cos he's stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly

(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)
(Power x10)
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)
(Power x10)
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cos they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back
Watch them explode

She's got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
He's a got a beast in his belly
That's so hard to control
'Cos they've taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode x4

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been working every day and night
That's how a superhero learns to fly
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

(Power x5)
Oh, yeah...
(Power x5)
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)
(Power x10)
Ooh, yeah
Whoa
(Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power)

When you've been fighting for it all your life
You've been struggling to make things right
That's how a superhero learns to fly

Song Sharing Sunday #338 - Heartbeat Song ~ Kelly Clarkson

I would not say that Kelly Clarkson's voice is in my favourite list.

However, there is always something very special about Kelly's songs.
Its either the lyrics that will hit you hard, or the rhythm.
For this song, its definitely the latter.

Song Sharing Sunday #336 -Echosmith- Bright

Life is Good and that's the way it should be!
No matter how tough
No matter how many hurdles
No matter how many locked doors
Remember, you are STRONGER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE!
Something GOOD is in every of that......that makes you cry, makes you angry, makes you frustrated, makes you lost, makes you wanna give up.
You need to have wisdom to see the GOOD in all of those.
And wisdom starts with an open mind.

Happy 15th Anniversary Dearie!

Married for 15 years!
Its our Crystal Wedding Anniversary!


I would not consider 15 years a short time, neither would I say long.
Its not too short to know my man inside out, nor is it too long that I would get sick of him! *GINORMOUS LAUGH*

 For those who had been following our love story all these years, 1 thing probably stood out among all else.... the fact that he REALLY DOTES on me!
*super grin*

During our 9th Wedding Anniversary, I did a blog post about my thoughts on our marriage :
 "Happy 9th Anniversary!"
Years passed and I still feel the same.


Love was how we started.
Communication was our method.
Understanding was the key to our marriage.
But it was Gratefulness that made us a couple that's above average.

Becoming 1, 

is never by chance.
Staying as 1, 

is truly a choice.

Friends often ask, "Do you two ever quarrel?"
Of cos we did!
But I would rather call it disagreement, because we were NOT shouting at the top of our lungs.
And does it last long....... RARELY!

To stay married, just stay together.
To stay HAPPILY married, both should never be stingy with these words:
1) Thank you
2) I'm Sorry
3) I Love You


Someone once asked: "Would you rather be right, or would you rather stay in a relationship?"

I rather stay HAPPILY in a relationship.

This year's Anniversary has a deeper meaning for both of us.
A race to be completed together,
A goal to achieve at the end.
When a couple moves in the same direction, now that is what I call perfection!

Thank you Dearie for your love and care all these years.
Its such a blessing to be your wife.
I would still wanna have the same status, if ever there is such a thing call 2nd life.

15 Years, but it felt like 15 days to me......

The most romantic story is not Romeo and Juliet, 

but that you and I grow old together; and that's our pact!

Happy Anniversary Dearie!
*muack*
