The few days before Clinical Exam almost pushed me to the brim of psychosis. Argh, the fear of the uncertainties, I really don't want to relive it.
.
Now, I have gladly recovered from the physical and mental torture. Gonna rest my mind really well. Nourish my body with good Penang food. Get more than enough sleep. Watch movies non-stop. Continue exploring music.
. Yea, that's a lot of love in a sentence, but that's exactly what I mean. Below is the list:
Oasis - Let There Be Love . The Beatles - All You Need Is Love . Michael Bolton - When A Man Loves A Woman . Bee Gees - To Love Somebody . Take That - A Million Love Songs . Take That - How Deep Is Your Love . The Pogues - Love You Till The End . Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You . Sarah McLachlan - When She Loved Me . Celine Dion - Because You Loved Me . Boyzone - Everyday I Love You . Luther Vandross & Mariah Carey - Endless Love . Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett - Way Back Into Love . Josh Groban & Celine Dion - When I Fall In Love . Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love . Adele - Make You Feel My Love
Of course, ther are many more love songs without the word love in the title that I love, but it's gonna take a long time to list them all out so I'm just gonna skip that.
What are yours?
p.s. i'm so bored and i can't study, thus i come out with this =.=
People used to call me fat. Now they always comment that I looked too thin (despite my normal BMI).
.
Ah, how I love the NOW vs THEN contrast. Don't worry though, I won't go as far as being cachexic just to enjoy the moment. In fact, I intend to gain some healthy weight (in the form of lean muscle instead of fat).
.
After pro exam, which is 1 month later, I promise I will blog about how I lost the excessive weight. Nothing fanciful, just some practical methods, requiring some perseverance and patience.
One minute you are fine, the next minute you have a heart attack/ get involved in a fatal accident/ are diagnosed with an incurable cancer. . Life is too short for pessimism, sorrow and worries. I have always realized that, but I can't put that realization into practice. A recent sudden news of my lecturer being diagnosed with cancer kinda stunned me. . It's time to see and embrace things with more optimism. After all, we are tiny and insignificant in this universe, why sweat over small stuff? Live life to the fullest. . Come what may, Nelson, come what may. . p.s. am I psyching myself coz pro exam is around the corner? =.=
While people are studying hard for professional exam, I did the following:
Tried Godiva Dark Chocolate Cake (RM 15). Pricey for a piece of cake, but totally worth it because of the richness of chocolate. Consists of 3 layers: chocolate mousse, semi-solid chocolate in the mid-layer and chocolate cake base. Topped off with a piece of chocolate truffle, it was so satisfying despite the heaviness of finishing a piece of chocolate cake all by myself. Rated 9.5/10 (minus 0.5 for the lack of bitterness which I kinda expect it to have). Really value for money considering it was from Godiva.
Bought a shirt as CNY was approaching, and had some fun with mirrors >.<
Had lunch at Din Tai Fung Restaurant. Tried the Braised Beef Noodle. It was alright. Not sure if it was the MSG which did the trick or what lol. Beef was tender enough. Didn't find anything extraordinary with the La Mian. The Pumpkin Coated with Salted Egg was nice though.
Sigh. I seriously need better time management and resistance towards food addiction....
It was a lonely night. My plan was to complete my case study. Being lonely, I decided to have Bruno Mar's voice to accompany me through the night. It was a nice listen. He is one very talented singer & songwriter.
After looping "Just the way you are" for a few times, the thought of listening to an acoustic cover of it came into my mind. And the best place to look for such thing is none other than Youtube.
Browsing through the search result, a familiar name appeared - Boyce Avenue. Haha, of course. They specialized in performing songs from different artists, injecting their own flavor and essence into the songs. Acoustic version for most of the cover. I got to know them months ago when I stumbled upon their cover of Leona Lewis' Bleeding Love.
Without hesitation, I clicked the link to listen to their cover. I had a strong feeling that this was gonna be good.
I was right. I was beyond right.
The cover was good. Really good. Really really good!I was totally blown away!
You know, my friend Caryn once said, if you never experienced goosebumps from a song, it means you don't love music enough. Well this was not the first time I experienced goosebumps. In fact, this time, I went beyond experiencing goosebumps. I was so excited that I couldn't contain my excitement by just sitting in front of the laptop, looping the song. I was so excited I was unable to continue working on my assignment. I was screaming inside my head. I frantically click here and there, opening windows and programs, looking for a way to download the video in high-def. For the first time, I was willing to go the extra mile to download a music video that I like, without compromising the quality and the voice. Mind you, it was 124MB for an unconverted HD video.
Perhaps I was too excited, and I operated my aging laptop too frantically, my laptop froze!! My aged laptop just couldn't keep up with my song-asm. I had to restart my laptop and went over all the hassle to download the HD video again. =.= Gosh that just prolonged the wait.
By the time I finished the last paragraph, my download had completed. Is it worth spending all night, searching, downloading one single nice song? Is it worth abandoning your assignment, finding a way to get the song you want? Is it worth the time expressing your excitement by blogging about it?
