“We are responsible for our own effectiveness, for our own happiness, and ultimately, I would say, for most of our circumstances.” — Stephen R. Covey “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” In the midst of thinking of how to help Sis overcome her problems, I re-read the first chapter of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” about proactivity. When I…

30 day song challenge day 05: song that reminds me of someone
Day 05 — A song that reminds you of someone Actually, any Kanjani8 song will remind me of Perrine (Per), but I think the most appropriate Kanjani8 song would be “Osaka Romanesque”. It was the time when I was overly crazy about NewS and she was overly crazy about Kanjani8. I remember this song held meaning for us because we…
30 day song challenge day 04: sad song
Day 04 — A song that makes you sad The lyrics are beautiful, but I can’t help feeling a tingle of sadness every time I listen to this song. Yup, it’s another one of Olivia’s songs — OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST) “Shadow of Love”. There’s no official PV for this song, so just enjoy this clip made by someone.
30 day song challenge day 03: happy song
Day 03 — A song that makes you happy NewS‘ “weeeek” is one song that will keep you bouncing throughout.

You know how God tests your patience when you least expect it? God tests my patience via my phone. When I’m up and about, nobody calls/text messages. Just when I lie down hoping to get a snooze, someone has to call/message. My phone sits next to me on the bed plus I’m a light sleeper so I get awoken quite…
love your skin
“世上没有丑女人，只有懒女人。” Whoever said that must be a genius (not counting Sis who quoted that person). I have never really taken care of my skin or hair until my hair started going all wiry and wrong. I started using leave-in conditioner. Over the years although my hair is still weird and has a life of its own, the quality has become…
30 day song challenge day 02: least favourite song
Day 02 — Your least favourite song I do not like trance, heavy metal (with scream-y people), and some techno tunes. I remember this song was popular a long time ago and although it has a nice tune, but the stupid frog is just ANNOYING. Makes me wanna squash it flat so it can just shut up and not spoil…
30 day song challenge day 01: favourite song
Day 01 — Your favourite song I have quite a few favourites, but this song is worth mentioning here. I love OLIVIA inspi’ REIRA (TRAPNEST)’s “A Little Pain”. It is sung by none other than the lovely Olivia Lufkin and was used for the anime version of NANA. I love how the song sounds a little sad yet beautiful. It…
