Jason Mraz - A Beautiful Mess

You’ve got the best of both worlds
You’re the kind of girl who can take down a man then lift him back up again
You are strong but you’re needy, humble but you’re greedy
And based on your body language and shouted cursive I’ve been reading
Your style is quite selective though your mind is rather reckless
Well I guess it just suggests that this is just what happiness is

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you write
Kind of turn themselves into knives
And don’t mind my nerve you could call it fiction
But I like being submerged in your contradictions dear
Cause here we are, here we are

Although you were biased I love your advice
Your comebacks they’re quick and probably have to do with your insecurities
There’s no shame in being crazy, depending on how you take these words
I’m paraphrasing this relationship we’re staging

And what a beautiful mess this is
It’s like picking up trash in dresses

Well it kind of hurts when the kind of words you say
Kind of turn themselves into blades
And the kind and courteous is a life I’ve heard
But it’s nice to say that we played in the dirt
Oh dear cause here we are,
Here we are

We're still here

What a beautiful mess this is
It’s like taking a guess when the only answer is yes

And through timeless words and priceless pictures
We’ll fly like birds not of this earth
And tides they turn and hearts disfigure
But that’s no concern when we’re wounded together
And we tore our dresses and stained our shirts
But it's nice today, oh the wait was so worth it

DIPPY DIPPY

oh man, i love dippy so much. check out the strawberry bits in the dip!























then one day, alvin came into the office with this:
















<3!!!

comfort food

been working harder than usual (because working hard is relative) lately, so when alvin and i popped by parkway parade and saw a Japanese food imports fair, ALVIN WENT ALL GENEROUS AND STARTED GETTING LOADS OF COMFORT FOOD FOR US! (mainly me, if you look at the selection... haha).

to start with, i blame famous amos for packing weirdly different cookies in their off the shelf packages, which made me crave for cookies from the actual shop.

once we saw the famous amos store at Parkway, of course we bought them... and alvin paid for everything yay yay yay!!



"EEYUR DON'T BUY THE ONE OFF THE SHELVES EEYUR."

and then we saw the fair in the atrium.

*smacks alvin frantically* omgomgomg japanese food stuffs!!!

this was our load:




our bulk purchases:





alvin says oreos and ritz is just different in japan. we'll see.









these aren't normal potato chips...



they're TAKOPACHI FLAVOURED!!! XD



and these aren't normal sticks u dip in strawberry dip... THEY'RE CHOCOLATE STICKS!!! XD



and chekkit!! scallop flavoured chips!! XD



alvin's digestives; flavour: yam? tapioca? sweet potato??? with bits of sesame.

alvin also got me rock melon icecream crepes, rows of mini poifulls and chocobabies (?), and japanese curry cubes for mummy.

heeh, mad grocery shopping is great fun. random throwing of everything that looked good to us, FTW! :D

watching the olympics

GYMNASTICS, FTW!! XD

i loved it the moment when a Belarus man fell off his high bar, but when he stepped onto the mats for his second attempt the crowd roared their encouragement. ahhh... *heart swells*

yay for ms quah who led beautifully in the swim heats (medley)... but lost by a mile to another korean lady. it's ok! you're cool! :D

hey jade, i haven't been following the news... where's ian thorpe ah? *blush*

---

ok back to the tv i'm missing out too much.

priceless moments in the NDP

aiyoh, sg you are so cute la, NDP also must make me laugh. :)

1. watching vivian balakrishnan take a pretty picture with his pal's digicam. (*SMILE!* *CLICKS AWAY* on national tv too, no less.)

2. watching the parade and a dirty rag suddenly appears in full screen, wiping away the drizzle

3. the drizzle, which made everyone don pretty red plastic raincoats provided - wah all same colour wor!

:D

eh sian

the only day of the week i decide to dress like a bum, alvin picks the same day to wear something nice.

*pout*

play our heart's lament

listening to Jars of Clay makes me smile unconsciously because i start thinking of my days back in JC.

i have loads to say, a lot of memories to pen down... but sometimes, silence makes them sweeter. :)

oh well, i'll leave you with my favorite from Jars.

alvin's coming home today. :)

2 truths about working life

1. when you work really hard, your boss won't be around to see it; it's either after office hours, or he/she's on leave.

2. the more approvals you need, the more likely someone in the line of approvals will be on leave. or on MC. (suggested by wailiong and alanna)
