Good evening, it's been quite a while since I've dropped by.  Now let's start with the usual.  This year has not been particularly kind,  and this song has been one that I deeply resonate with in recent times.  The opening part of the lyric calls to me and gives me a sense of familiarity.  As I've mentioned previously,  I'm a sucker for meaningful lyrics.  It goes like this:   【世界上有很多东西,生不带来死不带去, 你能带走的只有自己和自己的脾气 。 你曾拥有最美的爱情,你听过最美的旋律。 触碰过一个人孤独的恐惧,也看过了最美的风景。】 My translation:   We leave this world in the same state we came into it.  Bringing nothing in and thus, nothing away. We could only take ourselves and our legacies with us when our time comes .  You've encountered the most beautiful love in your lifetime,  and you've heard the most beautiful melodies life could offer.  You've touched the brim of loneliness and felt your own fear,  but was healed by the countless breathtaking views in your journey in life.  As ...

  Greetings.  Let's start with the usual. You would've heard this song all over the internet by now.  I don't really understand the meaning, but it is a beautiful song and I really like it.  I've finally finished my degree and is currently waiting for the graduation ceremony. (If I could  pass my finals, that is).  However,  I feel like passing would not be much of a problem as I tried my best just like I always do.  So what brought me here today? In this semi-abandoned blog?  A lot has happened along the year and I could safely say that 2022 is not a year that I would remember fondly.  As usual, I would never disclose private matters onto the internet but all the things that had happened this year would surely be ingrained in my mind. Plans had changed, multiple anxiety inducing incidents had happened and everything is not going as planned.  But I have to convince myself that this is exactly life should be, 'not going as planned'....

 Greetings. I know it's been a while since I dropped by.  Things had been very busy, with the pandemic and all. I just finished my mid-term exam and thought this was just the right time to put up an update with life.  Before all that, of course, here's one of my favourite songs (from a year ago. I have not been listening to many songs lately. But hey, that means I'm less glued to my headphones, which is always good. ) To Me - by Alina Baraz I'm in the midst of doing my year 3 in the UK.  Surprise! It's my 5th month here.  I've never thought I would be here. But here I am.  It's pretty different from what I've expected, less exciting.  But who am I to say this? I'm still that same old me that's not really enthusiastic about a lot of stuff. So for me to have a reaction like this is really within my expectation.  Don't get me wrong though,  I'm very grateful that I have the chance to be here.  To experience life in a different country and t...

I know it's a bit late for a new entry this year, but anyhow,  I'm back at it again.  Before I start, let me just fulfill my usual routine by inserting my current favourite song.  ' It's always the little things '- by Guo Ding.  Sometimes I'm ashamed of myself, I guess I'm still the same old me wherever I go.  I was and still is,  A person who hates crowded places. A person who avoids loud obnoxious environment at all times.  A person who enjoys tranquility and her own piece of mind ( perhaps a bit too much ).  A person who is a sucker for songs with actual meanings.  And a person who is helplessly emotional and affectionate.  Till this day,  I am not able to understand fully,  whether the ability to feel deeply,  is a curse or a blessing.  At times I'm glad that I could feel,  because it reminds me that I'm alive.  I would not exchange this for anything else an...

It's December. It's December, again. I couldn't quite wrap my head around the fact that another year had passed me by. Before any of these, as usual, I'll placed here another one of my favourite song of the week.  「別の人の彼女になったよ」‐ WACCI Although this is a cover from my favourire singer Asagiinyo-san, she still managed to nailed this song and bring out the melancholic feeling of it. The direct translation means [ I Became Someone Else's Girlfriend ] Pretty bizarre name, I know. But before you jump the gun and give in to judging this song. Have a look at the lyrics and how bitter sweet it is. I will attach a link here with English translation and you be the judge after giving it a look. (  SONG LYRICS TRANSLATION HERE ) This song just stirs so much emotions in me. I have no idea how to describe my feelings after I listen to it. But the I could resonate to the lyrics so much. I guess this blog would pretty much be a reflection ...

Hello lovelies,  I've came back again after my month long semester break.  Year 2 is due to start in another week and I'm really nervous.  Will I be able to handle Year 2 ?  I always think of myself as a foolish and ignorant girl.  I guess I would have to change it by learning and reading more.  I'm born a nobody,  but I don't want to be nobody forever. I want to create my own legacy,  grow and be something. I guess fear and nervousness wouldn't do me any good. I would have to fight and work harder for year 2 to get myself a good scholarship for university. Year 2 here I come ! For this entry I have two songs that I really love these 2 months,  one's by Greyson and another by Grace.  Hope you enjoy them too !  Low - Greyson Chance  Waste My Time - Grace VanderWaal My semester break was relaxing. Staying back in my hometown and going around meeting old friends was therapeut...

Greetings.  Look at me,  dropping in again.  The song for this entry is not one that's on my frequent playlist now,  but rather from months back.  May,  to be specific.  It's Older by Sasha Sloan .  As usual,  I'm a sucker for meaningful lyrics.  And this one,  truly hits right in the heart. Vacation   I've been enjoying my semester break so far.  I went to Sarawak with my dearest girl friends and also a little Melaka road trip with my good old study buddies.  I had tremendous fun exploring new places and trying new stuff.  But I guess what I enjoyed the most is the bond I have with these beautiful people that I now call my friends.  Rewinding back to January 2019,  I would never have thought that it was possible for me to make friends as close as what I have now and of course,  I am forever grateful for the love and support they've selflessly showered...
