Chapter 2.9

I set out to do many things today – dental visit, blog entries, clear room, change bedsheet.. the list goes on.

And only one was completed – dental visit. Simply because the appointment was made 3 months ago. LoLs!

Spent the morning at the dentist, then met up with mum at Lot1 for lunch + foot massage.

All spendings today are paid for. No the dental visit wasn’t free… but it’s claimable! The pants I bought from Converse was on discount, and paid using my new Standard Chartered credit card which had free $50 credit. Lunch & foot massage was complimentary from mum. :p

Had a family dinner at Dian Xiao Er @ Jurong Point on Sunday. Feels nice to be the princess once in a while :p

So what’s in the line for the start of chapter 2.9?

Made an appointment for blood donation. With 3 failed attempts over the past 2 yrs, I’m gonna make sure this will succeed! This will be a good start, I hope πŸ™‚

By the way..

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COUSIN JOYJOY!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO WOLFY TOO!!

If you didn’t understand the title, you might have guessed its meaning by putting your mouse cursor over the title. πŸ™‚

Nope this post isn’t anything about my first kiss or whatsoever :p but about this song that I came across few minutes ago, while doing housekeeping on my mp3s.

Sounds totally like an oldie, doesn’t it? But all I could get out of Uncle Google, is that this song is only 2yrs old!

So I went to dig the korean version of it (could easily guess there’s another version from the video title), and it sounds just as good!

Started liking this vocal (Lee Hongki from F.T. Island) when JLee intro-ed me to F.T. Island in Jan. Though I don’t understand the lyrics of the korean songs, I still find myself enjoying the music πŸ˜€

Post edit: Realise I should at least post the lyrics (of the English version) here, since not everyone can understand LHK’s accent πŸ˜€

Always Be Mine

I hear you breathe
You’re lying close to me
The shadows gone
I have found my peace

You make me calm
With you I’m safe from harm
And right by your side
I’ll stay through the night ’til eternity
That’s the way it will be

And I wonder what you’re dreaming of
You’re so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I’ll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
‘Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don’t let go say you’ll always be here
So just hold me tight and I’ll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

Just like the sun
You make me warm inside
Like a soft summer breeze
A moment to seize
So true I won’t stop loving you

And I wonder what you’re dreaming of
You’re so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I’ll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
‘Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don’t let go say you’ll always be here
So just hold me tight and I’ll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

And I wonder what you’re dreaming of
You’re so peaceful when you sleep
Everything I want everything I need is lying here in front of me

And if I ever lose my power to fly
Then your love takes me high
I’ll always be true to you
Sometimes I think I might lose it all
Guess the chances are small
‘Cause you hold me close I feel you near
Don’t let go say you’ll always be here
So just hold me tight and I’ll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

Just hold me tight and I’ll be fine
Dreaming you will always be mine

Love Cuts

Yes this is an overdue post.. Sorry HPB folks! But better late than never, when it comes to spreading messages, right? πŸ˜€

I’m sure you can find the synopsis online (or you can check out Chester’s entry here), but nothing beats watching it with your own eyes.

It’s an interesting touch to have HK actor Kenny Ho starring as the male lead, and Zoe Tay as the female lead. Something refreshing, as compared to other local movies. The movie’s in a mix of Chinese and Cantonese, but there’s English subtitles if you don’t understand Chinese / Cantonese.

Knowing how easily I cry when watching shows, you won’t be shocked at how much I cried while watching this movie at the charity premiere on 3rd Sep (there were actually tissue packets Β provided that day!). No special gimmicks in the show, all the attention is on the plot and the actors.

No doubt the plot is simple, but it brings across an important message – Early detection saves lives. Breast cancer is the most frequent cancer among women in Singapore – but that doesn’t mean the guys don’t get it. When it is detected early, there is a good chance that it can be successfully treated. So if you have loved ones between the age of 40-49, they should go for mammogram screening annually, and once every two years if they are above the age of 50.

Having lost both of my grandpas to cancer years ago, I’ve grown to understand the fact that we should not take cancer lightly, especially when my paternal grandma was recently (2 months ago, in fact) diagnosed with cancer (which the doctor said it’s rare for it to be detected only at her age of 80). If regular checkups (mammogram screenings in the context of this blog post) had been done, things might have been different.

If you need more information on health screening, you can check out http://www.hpb.gov.sg/healthscreening/. If it doesn’t answer your queries, check with your GP.

Oh yes.. the movie is still screening in cinemas. Not sure when it will stop though. Don’t put too much high hopes on it, like I said, the plot is simple, no gimmicks. But do prepare a packet of tissue πŸ™‚
