Time For Miracles

My current favourite – Time for Miracles by Adam Lambert.  The soundtrack for 2012.  Didn’t watch the movie but I fall in love with this song.

 

It’s late at night and I can’t sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can’t breathe thinking of your smile

Every kiss I can’t forget
This aching heart ain’t broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn’t dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
No I ain’t giving up on us

I just wanna be with you
Cuz living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes

The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain’t broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
Cuz I know this flame isn’t dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
No I ain’t giving up on us

Baby can you feel it (feel it)
http://www.elyricsworld.com/time_for_miracles_lyrics_adam_lambert.html
You know I can hear it (hear it)
So can you feel me feel you….

You know it’s time….

Baby you know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it’s time for miracles
Cuz I ain’t giving up on love

You know I ain’t giving up on us
You know I ain’t giving up on
Oh I ain’t giving up on us

Beyond the Realm of Conscience

Okie!  This is a confession post, for the lack of updated blog entries as promised.  I really want to do my part as a responsible blogger (not sure if there are readers but whatever) & keep you peeps updated which I’m super lagging behind.

You know, I already resize + edit my Halloween photos, login to WordPress and got all ready to blog last night.

But I backside itchy, decided to check out if mysoju has the 宫心计 uploaded, thinking no harm to click on episode 1 and check out what caused the hype of my girlies.

And fark.. I got hooked lah, like seriously addictive! 

It’s that G O O D!  Thus I didn’t get to blog anything.  Lol!  Is an excuse right?  Because I’m plain lazy? 

NO..  Is really TVB’s fault lah!

 

宫心计 (Beyond the Realm of Conscience)

Beyond the Realm of Conscience (Traditional Chinese: 宮心計, literally Palace Scheme) is a 2009 costume television drama from Hong Kong. Produced by Mui Siu-ching, the serial is one of the two grand TVB productions to celebrate along with the channel’s 42nd anniversary, the other being Born Rich.[1][2]

Set in the latter years of the Tang Dynasty, Beyond the Realm of Conscience tells the story of palace maid Lau Sam-ho and her relations in the Imperial Palace, beginning with her experiences in the Imperial Household Bureau (尚宮局).

The drama’s setting is loosely inspired by the popular Korean drama Jewel in the Palace, which created a chart-breaking 50 rating points in its final broadcast week in Hong Kong in 2005.

Say Hey (I love you)

This song tickles me and loving it so much for the moment.

People!  Get up and move your happy feet!!
*tap tap tap*

This one goes out to you and yours
worldwide
I say hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I’ve been a lot of places all around the way
I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
but I don’t want to write a love song for the world,
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
bump into person in the middle of the road
look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don’t lose you
‘cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey Momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
what you gonna do?

My momma told me don’t lose you
Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you
I said Hey I’ll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
I said Hey I’ll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing that I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Come away with me..

Lately had the urge to go back iceskate, back to the ol’ days whereby I’ll be there every single Sunday.  Am thinking back, seems that I forgo certain favourite hobbies of mine for?  Nothing.  I just stop doing it. 

Okie.. Now that’s a problem.  Why?  No reason.  Just stop doing it.

Hmm…  I’m wondering.  Again.  Recently I use my brain alot to do self-sorting.  Focus!  Focus!  Haha!

 

Was looking at my calender, upcoming packed with programs to look forward too and this weekend shall be a dirt good one.  Friday at the usual hunt, Saturday at Sentosa for Halloween then MJ (Loves!  My hands are itchy).  Next week going to see my skin doctor (Fark the breakouts.  Fark it), 2 upcoming wedding dinners, Xmas party etc.  Sounds yummlicious to be busy and I like!

Alrights!  I know my blog entries has been becoming a’lil boring with all the words, I’ll try to have a photo entry next time round yah.

=)

Oh!  Random.  I’m pretty much hooked onto Twitter.  Its the tweeting addiction!

Shall seeyou peeps soon!  Lastly..

 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN !!!

Recently there are so much rollercoaster rides going on, seen a few and I was sitting on a mini one.  Some people ain’t so lucky to really see the light and I’m very happy for those who did.  Was reading mag (credits to Woman Weekly) today and came across a very interesting short story about the author of a book – “Beating the Bitch” and decided to blog about it.

Tess Stimson accidently became a mistress to a married man. Friends warned her about the saying “When a man married his mistress he creates a job vacancy”, she ignored and married him after 2 years emerging into the sunshine.  Many years down, she got into the same situation and finally felt the agony of being abandoned because another woman can offer your man something more enticing than all your past history: a fresh relationship. 

She divorced him and wrote her experiences into a book in the hope that it might save marriages and deter woman from having an affair because she learned that if a man cheats with you, he will also cheat on you.

 

Her thoughts on.. “He’s having an affair.. now what?”

“If you discover your husband is having an affair, your 1st thought may be divorce.  Or you may want to hang on because you’re terrified of divorce or being a single parent.  But for a while, do nothing.  Let your feelings settle so you can sort what you really feel, from what you think you should feel.  His 1st wife had scolded him until he ran off with me to get peace, I did the opposite, I shut him out.  Didn’t talk except to discuss parking tickets or mortgage payments, rarely had sex and did not go out because I hated to be alone with him.  In a way, I drove him into her arms who gave him awe, respect and sex.

I’m not defending the husband, he’s wrong but how will that help you in future?  If you decide you do want to keep him, you need to play this game to win.

Many people say we should not “play games” in r/s.   But we all do it.  We tell a friend her new jeans look great, we tell the estate agent we can only pay so much for that apartment.. call it diplomacy, or negotiating, we all “play games” to achieve goals in life.   And when you first met your husband, you play games.  You dressed well, listened when he talk, laughed at his jokes…

To Beat the Bitch, you have to figure out what she’s doing for him that you’re not – then do it better.   Men’s affairs are often not about sex.   They are about temptation, inadequacy, boredom or him feeling neglected.   Of course, it’s much easier to feel love and respect for your man when he hasn’t been in some other woman’s bed. 

But you chose him and if winning him back means playing a few games.. well, do it”

 

I think it goes the same during paktor-ing but foremost.. Is this man the one you really want to keep?  T H I N K and act on it. 

So does anyone wanna go get the book – Beating the Bitch?  Haha!

 

 

There is just one life for each of us: our own

当你想起我

每個人心中
都有一個
只屬於曾经的
最爱…

给我 一整天 一个人 沉默
最难下的决定 往往是 最对的
没错 那些话 那些事 还在心里 出没
承认吧 我们的明天 却没有下落
曾经以为 幸福垂手可得
当爱一旦被挥霍 反而让人更寂寞
有天当你想起我
时间已摆平所有犯的错
也学会不再问为什么
但至少我们必须都快乐
直到有一天 面对爱情 开始吝啬
会不会怀念 曾有的炙热

可是 当你想起我
我们早已经失去了联络
一路上经过各自的曲折
才明白 最现实的是生活
直到有一天 选某个人相濡以沫
会不会后悔 现在的非走不可
时间会摆平所有犯的错
直到有一天 面对爱情 开始吝啬
也许会怀念 曾有的炙热

可是当你想起我
我们一定会失去了联络
一路上经过各自曲折
才明白 最现实的是生活
直到有一天 选某个人相濡以沫
也许会后悔 现在的非走不可

 

 

 

 

 

 
The attraction is there but I found no reason for me to see it thru because its simply not meant to be

Officially Missing You

[Verse One]
All I hear is raindrops
Falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why’d you have to go
Cause this pain I feel
It wont go away
And today I’m officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache
I could escape
But I fronted long enough to know
There ain’t no way
And today
I’m officially missing you

[Chorus]
Oh can’t nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby say it stays on my mind
And I, I’m officially

[Verse Two]
All I do is lay around
Two ears full of tears
From looking at your face on the wall
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don’t even know you at all
I don’t know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it’s safe to say baby safe to say
That I’m officially missing you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Well I thought I could just get over you baby
But I see that’s something I just can’t do
From the way you would hold me
To the sweet things you told me
I just can’t find a way
To let go of you

[Chorus]

It official
You know that I’m missing you
Yeah yes
All I hear is raindrops
And I’m officially missing you

breaking of it…

Was a’lil emotional last night and I thought it would get better after a goodnight rest but it hit me again when I reached my office this morning.  So I decided to blog about it, typed a super long entry, went back to proof read then I stopped.   Stare at what I wrote and scolded myself like “Hello. Karin Toh, wth?!?!”

The question is “What am I emo about?” and I couldnt get an answer myself.  Went to pack lunch and am back to my happy self after.

 

On a happier note!!  Made a big realization during that few hours of wallowing – Am slowly knocking down the wall, stepping out to see what’s behind instead of sitting there left wondering.

As quoted – “After seeing all the things happening around u, it should pose as a lesson of sorts.   What NOT to accept and what to accept, NOT ‘lucky I not in a r/s”

Shall be upfront with my feelings, not hiding it, pretending that I’m fine with it anymore.

=)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m just like any other.

Miss Toh’s Quarter Century Birthday Celebration (Part III)

Phew~ The last of my birthday celebration (I know this suppose to be up on Thursday).  As usual, I’m the slowest of all, even Char is faster then me.  And fear not, this post is very normal with normal shots.

=)

As mentioned, I blacked out till 11+am from the crazy partying night before right?  It could have been longer but was awaken by my mama to go lunch @ Seafood Int’l, my birthday treat from her.

Mummy & Lil’Bro.  No photo of me, I still look drunk/asleep. Lol.

 

FOOD !!!  Really famished and ate quite a few bit.

 

For that pricing, there’s nothing much for me to fuss about since there is sharkfin and mirco-mini abalone.  But if there’s a choice, I rather pay more and savour good food.  I’m totally a food person so all you need is stuff me with good food and I’m here to stay.  LOL!!

Afterwhich, we went to the Perfect10 car boot flea market.  Weather was SCORCHING HOT!  Perfect weather for a beach outing but not shopping despite that, it didn’t stop me from a dress & braclet.  Haha!

 

Head home around 2+pm, got a 2hrs nap and got prepared for dinner with the BKK gang @ Central.

 

Birthday celebration of Shangwei (30th Sept) & me (actual day), we are the LIBRA BABIES!  Initial plan was to go Ma Maison but it was fully booked so switch to Watami whereby we had a private room which turns into a mini BBQ session.

 

The food was really salty for almost every item, be it the Sukiyaki or the Cheese Tamago but other than that, it wasn’t too bad.

Oh! We had mini birthday cakes from Ms Char (muah muah)

Devil’s Chocolate & Classic Sour Cream Cheesecake

The birthday boy & girl. Always 18! @_@

See! They all agree

 

After, we did the “Tourist” shots with the restaurant red & white concept. Hmmm.. it really does look like Chinese New Year dinner affair.

We like to do things in big group like watching movie with 12pax in total

Laydees in the house

The boys are really cute

My love, Ms Char

 

Since Central is near Clarke Quay, all of us decided to find some place and chill but most of it are outdoors with no air-conditioning, a big no-no with that damn weather so we went St James.   Plopped ourselves comfortably at Tiger Live with the guys watchin Soccer and the girls chilling out to the Live Bar.

Around 1am, we shifted to Dragonfly.  Yes.. My 2nd home! But wasn’t in much of a “clubbing mood” thou. The gang left at around 3+am but I stayed on with Uncle Johnny & gang then home when the night ended.

Here’s my last round of pressie..  So loved lor!

From the BKK Gang.  A suprise thou because I didn’t expect them to give me a pressie and the earrings are so pretty!  So nice!  Thank you peeps!

My 2nd pressie from Char Kim Kim, big card with shots of me & her with a heart shaped short note.  Come to think of it, we had a 8years affair together.  Everything that we both did with our bfs, we did together too except s** lah.  LOL!!  Paste the card onto my dressin table and I felt loved everytime I sat there looking at it doing my makeup.

I’m really glad to have good girlfriends who walked thru every phrase of my life and I do cherish them although they sometimes drive me up the wall.

Hee!  *muah muah*

Brief Summary:

DISC is a group of psychological inventories developed by John Geier and others based on the 1928 work of psychologist William Moulton Marston, Michael Laudrup, the original behaviouralist Walter. V. Clarke and others to examine the behavior of individuals in their environment or within a specific situation (otherwise known as environment).

This system of dimensions of observable behaviour has become known as the universal language of behavior.  Research has found that characteristics of behavior can be grouped into these four major ‘personality styles’ and they tend to exhibit specific characteristics common to that particular style.  All individuals possess all four, but what differs from one to another is the extent of each.

And what does DISC stands for:

- Dominance – relating to control, power and assertiveness
- Influence – relating to social situations and communication
- Steadiness (submission in Marston’s time) – relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
- Conscientiousness (or caution, compliance in Marston’s time) – relating to structure and organization

You can get more of it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DISC_assessment

 

And you may ask, why this blog entry?!  Because I did a DISC assessment yesterday noon.  Was given a sheet (as shown below) to do afterwhich a graph was plotted and the results…

I’m a High “I” – Advisor/Counsellor/One Who is Merciful.

Instructions – Read carefully each group of 4 phrases. Select the words that most that most describe you in either home or job setting. Depending upon which focus you choose, circle an “M” by the words that most describe you then circle an “L” by the words that least describe you. Remember only one most and one least for each group.
 

“Individuals who are Advisors exhibit warmth, sympathy and understanding in their approach to people.  They possess a causal kind of poise in most social sitations.  Many people will come to them because Advisors are seen as good listeners.  They typically do not attempt to force their ideas on others, and in a conflict are likely to yield or be overly flexible.  If the conflict is serious, they may withdraw to avoid further conflict rather than work at resolution.  They tend to take criticism of their work as a personal affront.  They can sometimes be overly tolerant and patient with non producers.  Advisors prefer to deal with people on a personal, intimate basis in a low-pressure situation.  Their managers should realise that Advisors tend to allow too much lead-time on projects.  They need personal attention and compliments for assignments that are well done.  Their best work will be done when a public viewing or review is likely.  They are instinctive team players and work best in an environment of acceptance and serenity.”

Advisors In History
Aesop, Anne Sullivan

Other Well Known Advisors
Elton John, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Simmons

 
Editor Notes:  Took the assessment based on “ME” and it’s accurate (totally agree with the “their best work will be done when a public viewing or review is likely”)!  It got me really interested to google for more info and pretty much amazed.  This ain’t some FB quiz, its the real stuff.  So… any interested takers?  Hee.

My birthday celebration Part III will be up by this Thursday. Hopefully.
