Try

If you live under the same roof with me, you probably will get sick of this song by now. Because this is the only song that I listen to day and night and I keep on singing this song.

I first heard of this song in Facebook when my friend share it on her wall. I didn't fell in love with it that time. But thanks to some one, I'm hooked to this song.

I like this song a lot! I love how the singer was scared to commit into the relationship, he was unsure how the girl will respond. Although full of uncertainty, he decided to take a chance in this relationship and try for the girl's love. Don't you think is sweet?

peek through the door

Wanted to talk about something else today but leader's meeting was longer than I thought. So I think I'll write about it tomorrow or maybe this weekend. Suddenly all my time slot is packed and I'm planning to slot more things in! I feel like something I'm going to break free! And with this thought, I was inspired to draw the bellow drawing!

I've been in this comfort, protected shell for long enough and I'm willing and starting to breakdown the wall that hinders me to go fourth. It does not guarantee success, but it guarantees adventure! And that's what I'm looking forward too!

I talked to one of my SOT friend last few nights and I ask her what are my shortcoming. And she said this: 

You see! I'm a weird mix! When I don't know that person I'm seem like a serious person and hard to get along, hide my feelings and shut the door to my world. But on the other hand, I always show people how I feel, no matter who they are! So people will often think me as hot tempered and unfriendly...  ><

With that in mind, I have this picture came into my mind and I drew it out!

Don't you think knowing someone new is like letting the person coming into your life? And you got to be careful who you let into that door! Because they might just steal something and leave you feeling empty. Or they might just break your stuff and act like nothing happen and leave. So is tough! Is not easy! And that's why I peak out of the door and not open it before I know them better.

Oh well, still more to discover about myself!

So I shall end this with a picture of my Hong watching iPad! hahahahahaha~

What's the key to success?

If you know what I mean.

Hotel Roomies

During our Genting trip last week, 4 of us shared a room and all of us have our own sleeping patterns. Can you relate to any of the below?

The worst bed mate you can ever have is "The King", it will be like you have no bed at all and you are forced to be "The Pity". "The Miserable" is the worst to be, because no one is causing your insomnia you just cannot get used to the environment. And the best is of course "The Pig", sleep soundly by herself and will not disturb others! Best roomie and bed mate ever!!!

Can you guess which one is me? 

Every Morning

I go through this "5 more minutes" with my sister every morning. LOL. Pity her, have to wake me up every morning and the process is getting harder and harder. Sometimes after she wakes me up again, I will request for another 2 minute. >< Becoming more and more like a pig!!!

I've tried changing this, but FAILED! Got to try harder again.

Ka Pow!!!!!

If you will react as above, please stop reading this. ><

I seldom weight myself, but I know I slimmed down when my pants became looser. And my shirt also. I think this is the after effect of being sicked for the past few weeks. Not a good sign at all!!! But then this is a free pass for me to eat even more!! wakakakaka!

Earth Hour - FAILED!

Yes, I'm guilty for not supporting earth hour this year. The truth is, I totally forget about it and was watching anime until my sis told me around 9 p.m. So as an effort to show my support, I went around the apartment to off all the lights. But minutes later my mom and my sis switch them back on because they say they can't see. ><

So I forget, I tried and I failed. Oh well, I shall save the earth some other time! haha.

If you've been following me on my instagram, you would have figure out that I'm very in to sketching/doodling/drawing (call it whatever that you like) lately. Thanks to Black Sesame I found this new love of mine. Been drawing for a week already and started to record my daily thoughts and life through drawing.  I posted 2 of it in my previous post. You can catch more of it in my instagram! So do follow me @sqlim !

One last thing! I've join a blog competition for the first time of my life! I know my chance of winning is very thin, but then please show me some support and vote for me please?? Pretty pretty please!!!!!

Sometimes I'm just curios if anyone is reading my blog, because I never receive any comments! hahaha. Hello?!!! Anyone here?!!!

Things That I Do #3

The other day when my sister was driving us home, I saw this guy beside us using his phone while driving. Is not like he is on the phone or anything, is like he is scrolling through FB or Instagram. I open up my window and did exactly what I drew. >< But apparently he din't heard me, or else I think I will be whacked. Ok la... I din't shout at him, just say it as if he just beside me.

But still, I really cannot take it when people use their phone while driving, even is a short while it can cause accident. And the road is a main road with lots of cars, really very dangerous. Even if you don't appreciate your life, I do. So please all drivers out there! Stop using your phone while you are driving!!!

No Music No Strength

This is how I look without music:

And this is how I look with music:

Somehow I came to a point where I do not have any energy if I don't listen to music in the morning. A lot of people think that listening music will make them be inefficient. But to me is the opposite. No Music No Strength!

I do not have any songs in my iPhone. So I started with a familiar song in youtube, then I randomly clicked on the suggested videos and I found some very very nice songs from some bands.

One of them and now my favorite is Passenger! I like their lyrics, their melody and the way they record their music. 

"Let Her Go" caught my love by its lyrics and "A Thousand Matches" caught my attention with the way it is recorded but its lyrics is beautiful as well.

Hear it for yourself!

Passenger - Let her go

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why

Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

'Cause you loved her too much

And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

And you let her go

Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missin' home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Passenger - A thousand matches

Lying on the mattress ‘cause my friend’s crazy sister took my bed away,

Sleeping, she looked like an actress, a theory I didn’t practice, I said “There’s gotta be a better way”.

She said: “You light a thousand matches when you finally set fire when you run away,

So why’d you go and do it when you knew that you would go and I would stay.

I hit the wall in frustration the conversation had been circling for days,

She said: “Don’t take it out on him, for the wall has always been supportive in the best of ways.

We’re laughing and crying like mad men dying in the snow,

For just one second it was funny that she would have to stay and I would go.

She said” I love you know I love you so; when you love someone well you’ve got to let them know.”

And I said:” Nothing’s changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go.”

She handed me a stone in the perfect shape of a heart,

She said:” I’m gonna take this home for I know you’ll only lose it somewhere after dark,

‘Cause some faces so terribly seem to lose everything you own.”

She didn’t mean it how it sounded, what she meant was she would stay and I would go

I said:” I love you know I love you so; when you love someone well you’ve got to let them know

She said: “Nothing’s changed I love you the same, but when you love someone sometimes you gotta let them go”

Sometimes you tear it all apart, to see the wood from the trees.

Sometimes you break your own heart to set yourself free.

I walked her to the station, hesitation in our movements and our tongue,

Words finally left after realized how uncomfortable they’ve grown.

What you want and what you need, well they seldomly succeed to grow.

We reluctantly agreed that when you love someone, you’ve got to let them go.

Chinese is complicated #1

My sister's friend came over the other day to format her laptop. I know this guy few years back, so before he left, he ask me 你现在在做什么 (what are you doing now?). I misunderstood him and thought he was wondering what were I doing with my pillow case, but what he meant was what am I working as now.  ><

Normally in English we will just ask "what are you working as now?" right? But Chinese, people normally asked it that way (I think), but I was confused that day! I don't know why. Been very blur lately.

Oh well, is ok I guess. That means more things for me to draw! wee~~~~~

and everything nice

I'm currently at the stage where I decided to cut down my expenses. With all that's been going on and all that has been planned, I need to save up some money. So instead of always buying my dinner I've been cooking my dinner most of the time for the past week. And my favorite dish is the one above! Green pepper and carrot! It taste so nice that even my sis who hated eating green pepper is loving it right now! I'm a master chef! hehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe~

I have a lot in mind now, so do stay tuned for more lengthy post within the coming week k?

Oh! If you haven't notice, I colored most of the drawing using iPad this time.

The year of Fish

Happy Chinese New Year! I hope you guys had a great Chinese New Year celebration with all the food and AngPaos!!!

I'm sorry for the very very late update on this weekend's drawing because I was struggling to skip this weekend's comic due to my back problem. I spend most of my time in bed or walking around, I can't sit still. But I come through and here's a simple comic for this weekend. My mom asked me not to post it, but sorry mom, this is still very funny!

Hope you guys enjoy it!

Ya, my mom thought the shirt was old because of the fish on it. I was shocked when she say the year of fish was years ago. >< If you think carefully about the Chinese Zodiac story, how could a fish race with the other animal right? It can only swim, not run. 

Anyway, please keep me in prayer. Is a sure thing that my Singapore trip is flushed into the river swimming with the fish. But I'm finally going to see a doctor about my back. Hope could get it done once and for all, I'm still very young and I want to do a lot of things!!!!!!

P/s: The zodiac picture is taken from here. I wanted to draw it, but I gave up. ><

What I did on spring cleaning day!

Happy Chinese New Year!!!!! I thought of skipping this week comic due to CNY, but I decided not to break this habit so here you go! Comic on this reunion dinner night!

My sister clean the whole apartment herself while I rest in my bed. Is not that I don't want to help, but my back problem got worst since last week and it had been killing me. I can't sit for long, and I literally stood whole day at work. Thank God for my sis, because she took care of me and everything else. While busy doing spring cleaning, she even cook for me!!! So touched!! And she also forced me to tell my parents about my condition, so we decided to get it done this time. I've made an appointment with a doctor, let's just see what he say. But too bad, I can't go Singapore already. All my tix are going to be burnt!!! Sigh~ I was really looking forward to it.

Anyway, I fight through the 2 hours road trip n is back to my hometown d!!!! Can rest till the max!!! Have fun you guys! Happy Chinese New Year!
