Coldplay - Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries Wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh

Coldplay is back with this latest hit song, Viva La Vida. Over the past month, this song catches my attention on the radio. Personally, the lyric of the song doesn't do much for me. And the video isn't the most creative.

But what made me love this song so much is its melody. For some odd reason, the music's pretty calming and very much pleasant to listen to. I love the strings in the beginning and of course the sounds of the bell throughout the song.

Another song worth listening to.. Viva Coldplay~ :)

Kitchen Episode 101

This morning I was feeling pretty hungry after not having much to eat the day before. Usually I'll just pop by McD to grab something to eat. But due to the tight budget and my weekend, I decided on braving the kitchen to make myself breakfast.

Now, people who know me KNOW that I boast about only knowing how to cook water... =.="
Well, you can't go wrong with that one now can you? :P
Pretty much, I'm a no-go when it comes to the kitchen (beware, my future housemates when we go to England next year! XD )

So, I was looking at the fridge high and low for some stuffs that I won't go wrong cooking... Hmmm.. Let's see what we have here... Eggs! :) Eggs are good, eggs are easy to cook. :)
Wow, that rhymes too! XD
Hmmmm.. What else.... More eggs! Yay! :D (=.=)"
Okay, couldn't find anything else, so I grabbed 6 lovely little eggs out of the fridge..

Wait! I think there's something in the cabinet that I could work my magic on too! Hmmm.. There it is! Campbell's Chicken Soup~ Mmmmm.. XD

Now, turn on the fire, in goes the chicken soup. Stir stir, wait wait, then sitr again. :)
While waiting, break 4 eggs into a bowl and stir away..
Heat up the frying pan, stir, put some oil (very little oil... ), stir, oil seems to be getting hot enough, bombs away! Eggs into the frying pan!
I wanted to have some scrambled eggs for breakfast today, so I simply scrambled away! Woohoo! This is more fun than I've anticipated! :D

Whoops, chicken soup's screaming for attention! Stir stir, still watery.. I'll wait a while. Attention back onto me eggs. They look so lovely~ :)

Once the soup's ready, pour them into a bowl and throw the pots into the kitchen sink. Ooooh, remember the 2 eggs I left out sitting quietly on the table. Grab them, add some water into the pot, place them into the pot nicely, turn on the fire once again and place the onto the stove. Me ish having some half-boiled eggs!! :D

TADA~
After a little bit of this and that, my breakfast's done! :D


Yes, I eat in my room.. Sue me! XD



Campbell's Chicken Soup~
Salty delicious!


This was how me scrambled eggs looked like.. A little bit of salt and pepper for taste.. :)



Oooh! Vico for a nice cold drink to go with the food! Sorry Jeff, didn't give you one, again! XD



There you are folks! Me braving the kitchen this lovely morning! It wasn't that scary, but boy, I'm not really looking forward into going back in a while... =.="
Yeah, I'm lazy.. Lol! XD
And sorry mum for the mess I've caused! Wakakakakaka~

Jordin Sparks - One Step At A Time

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face and the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen when it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face and the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen when it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight

When you need to find the strength

It's the faith that makes you stronger

The only way we get there

Is one step at a time

Take one step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen when it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen when it's

Supposed to happen that we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

I'm sure many of you are familiar with this song by Jordin Sparks since it's been getting tonnes of airtime from radio stations from all around the globe.

First off, I love the footsteps at the beginning and ending of the song! Its so cute! XD

The melody's pretty much gives me then sense of happiness and innocence. Which suits the title very much, taking everything one step at a time. :)

I find the message in the lyrics pretty interesting and useful, well, especially to me.. XD

I always have this tendancy to dash blindly or just stay stagnant. Eventhough I used to follow my dad out for fishing trips when I was younger, I don't think that the sport rubbed any patience into me.. Lol!

Anyways, there is a reason why this song is being played so much across the globe. This song is more suited to those who are into Pop music, but if you're into rock and alternative music, give this song a try. There is no harm painting your life with a little bit of colour once in a while. :)

So near, YET so far..

I'm sure each and everyone of us have felt or faced with a situation where we want something really badly, but things don't always go our way. It happens. It sucks when you are on the receiving end though.

Over the months, things like this happen more and more often to me. I consider myself pretty lucky in the past for getting most of the things my way without much fuss or effort, and somehow or rather, became too reliant on luck, taking many things for granted. And when things don't go my way, I'll keep finding a way to make it go MY way.. Lol! It's my way or the highway.. :P

But then again, why am I so obsessed over it? Why am I obsessed of having the control over things just so that it turns out in my favour? So what? My bro told me to go with the flow for a while now, I'm trying to. One thing, it'll be better and I don't go complicate things with my mind. Guess when things don't turn out my way, I'll be thinking "Why can't it be like this?" "Why isn't anyone seeing it my way?" instead of thinking "What do others see that I don't?" and get a wholesome understanding of the situation instead of holding onto my principles and ego. I have to let go of my "钻牛角尖" nature. LOL!

There are so many things in life that I still couldn't accept, still resenting, still blaming. I found out 2 days ago that I'm still resenting the death of my grandmother which happened 2 and a half years ago. But my bro helped me look at it at a different way. I would normally cry like hell just thinking of my grandmother, but today, I'm surprised at how calm I am thinking back and writting about it. I have to let go a lot of the things of the past, otherwise it will only carry onto my present and future and only make myself miserable. It's gonna take some time thinking back at each and every fears, regrets, wrongdoings and resentment of my past and try to come to an understanding.

But to be honest, it seems easier dealing with things of the past than the ones that happened recently. And to my pet sister, I know you're going through some situations as well, hopefully this post could be a help to you. Its hard to deal with situations within your comfort zone, but its even harder at a place you're not even familiar with yet. You know you have me to talk to when you need a pair of ears to listen.

And bro, thank you so much for the past weeks. I feel so bad for bugging you that often, lol! I know you're probably tired of hearing me obsessing over certain stuffs.. Thank you for your patience and your wisdom, it means the world to me.

And to all of my friends, yes you, the time will come where you might face situations that may not go your way, but do not fear the challenge of life, take it up and just remember to live everyday without any sense of remorse, just be happy! :)

Of course I pray that you have as smooth of a passage as possible, but just take it easy and enjoy the wonders of life, alright?

Cheers~
