TVXQ Wrong Number


I feel so proud of myself for actually learning how to play this whole song without giving up, or just being satisfied with only playing the melody. The chords are actually pretty simple and once you get the hang of it, it is such a good feeling. :)

I actually started learning from a tutorial video (by smrr00) with a more visible view of the keys and to get the general idea of the melody and chords. I then switched to this video (by Meiyin1509) because this piano cover is just so beautiful. :')

Ahh~ I just love their voices.this video.the suits. *o*

The next song I'm learning to play is called 'It's You' by Super Junior.

The Work Environment

One thing that has kept me feeling happy tonight is just this simple photograph I took around last year when I went on a family picnic to Kings Park.


I was looking through my draw this morning and found the bundle of photos that I printed out ages ago. My mum didn't like some of them; saying that the sort of photos I had printed did not have the person facing the camera or were random shots and wasted money. Although, I do admit that perhaps one or two were kind of random.. but this one in particular was probably one of my favourite shots that day. :)

I haven't explained it to my mum, or anyone for that matter, about my attachment to this little photo. I really like it because if you look closely enough you would be able to see several of my relatives and what they were doing on the bridge at the time. :D

For example, my uncle visiting from America (wearing a white top) can be seen looking at the little information stand. And, you can also see one of my cousins giving the other cousin her camera to help take a picture of herself with her husband (they are in the very middle of the photo). There are more. :)

It's little things like this that makes one happy, right?

I also feel that it has already relieved some of my stress.. hmm..

I remember reading something Frank Chimero has said about his work space a long time ago and realised too late that I should've also personalised my own area too.. I could improve my mood, become inspired when I need it, and I could just look up and be motivated as well.

So, I should surround myself with more things that make me happy. :)

Here's to the first step to a happy (not as stressful) nights of finishing my work or studies in uni!

#stopkony


"KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."

I was also ignorant about Kony's existence until today. On twitter, a friend had tweeted something about Justin Bieber tweeting about Kony.. which was how I found out about it. While I was on the verge of tears, my mum comes in and invades my room and sees my face. I tried to tell her about it but because my throat felt like it was being strangled, I only managed to nod and make weird mouth movements to her queries..

"What's wrong? What are you watching that's got you crying like this? Is this real or just a movie?"
