Hi everyone,

I have left both many heavy thoughts and fleeting moments recorded in this blog - but I want to have a new fresh start (with the templates too) since my ChatterBox has been spewing out random comments.

The posts made here will not be forgotten - after all, I didn't just spend time to write for no reason!

I will be starting out on a good note here:

Enjoy!

Found another Musical gem: this amazing Japanese Indie band playing もう恋なんてしない

Wow! This Japenese group called GooseHouse is amazing! They do a lot of covers of J-Pop and anime songs. This particular cover was amazing - I was familiar to the tune from a Cantonese song by Leon Lai, but found out the melody was from the original Japanese song - but these guys put it into English lyrics!

The girl singer (Kei Takebuchi) is especially talented (but the guitarist and the other guy is amazing too, with their harmonies and strumming technique - the guitarist seems SO into it!) with her good English accent which apprently takes years to pick up.

Very nice lyrics to a very nice melody~!

Well, that's a wrap! I hope we've all learnt valuable lessons as the old year departs and the new year begins. I for one know I need to work harder in getting off my ass to maintain and re-visit those friendships.

I have actually filled my ultraman with shiny gold coins now. Since I can't fit anymore in, I will stop looking and asking for gold coins - that can be one of my new year's resolution.

Listening to the latest HK pop, making me feel that way again. Oh my future lady, where are you to be found? Guess I'll just have to keep waiting...

Surviving the end of the world is a good thing :) every additional day we get by is a bonus :)
