Dear all.
I've just returned from Korea and one might think that that's regretful but- touching down in Singapore made me really happy.
As dull and predictable as we are, I looooove Singapore. Think I've said this before. Everything and everyone that's important to me is here.
I've realized that the older I get, the more difficult it is for me to feel awe. Like this trip, I was intrigued yes, but looking at all the beautiful colours, foreign architecture, people, did little to excite me really.
I must be in my emo (i hate this word ! but i guess it expresses my emotion well enough) state again, LOL. Or perhaps it's cause I'm feeling extremeeeely tired and drawn from the flights. 
We took 4 for the entire trip.
Either ways, I'll leave that trip for another post, haha. Together with photos and all. I know.
I havn't even posted photos from Hong Kong and Phuket yet. 
And this site is supposed to serve as a remembrance.
Anyhow. I just abruptly, yes, abruptly felt like sharing one of my favourite songs here.
It's called Flightless Bird, American Mouth. I listen to it so often, I have almost every single line of its lyric s etched in my brain.
Yes, yes, you might notice that's it's from Twilight, ohshallowme, but the lyrics.
Are sooooo insanely good.
I loved it cause the lyrics doesn't seem to make any sense, but I thought it did and drew my own image to what the song was meant to be about.
I later came to realize that the song should really be about American politics and its questionable culture. A little disappointed. But still.
I think it's open to interpretation. 
It should be a little more romantic than that. Download it. It's really good.
        I was a quick wet boy 
 Diving too deep for coins 
 All of your street light eyes 
 Wide on my plastic toys 
 And when the cops closed the fair 
 I cut my long baby hair 
 Stole me a dog-eared map 
 And called for you everywhere 
 
 Have I found you? 
 Flightless bird, jealous, weeping 
 Or lost you? 
 American mouth 
 Big pill looming 
 
 Now I'm a fat house cat 
 Nursing my sore blunt tongue 
 Watching the warm poison rats 
 Curl through the wide fence cracks 
 Pissing on magazine photos 
 Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean 
 Blood of Christ mountain stream 
 
 Have I found you? 
 Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding 
 Or lost you? 
 American mouth 
 Big pill stuck going down
