Corinne Bailey Rae's performance was mind-blowing.
The setting, the band, the audience, her voice. Everything was astounding. I remembered browsing through her MySpace profile page back in 2006 (when I was in secondary 3!), listening to her music and then four years later, I got to watch her sing on stage live. Sweet. The epic moment for me had to be her singing to 'I'd Do It All Again'. She sang all the songs from her latest album, 'The Sea', plus her two notable songs 'Put Your Records On' and 'Like A Star' from her first album. I was moved to see an old Caucasian couple in front of me hold hands together with their heads swaying side to side. Corinne sang so effortlessly. I had a weird feeling watching a concert alone. Until I met Dilla (first met at our work place, she was the relief teacher then) and her friend, although they sat five seats behind from me. Not only was I alone, the lady right next to me was all alone too. For her closing performance, she sang to my least favourite kindergarten song! Que Sara Sara by Doris Day. Haha. But of course you can't compare her singing with the nursery kids'. She made the song sound rockin' good! I captured the best, finest one hour and a half moment of my life. Thank you Corinne Bailey Rae! <3

I missed out John Legend, Alicia Keys and Maksim Mvirca's concerts when they were here. I can never get over it still. (If it weren't for school and being penniless......) But then, Corinne had performed alongside John Legend (and John Mayer) before at the Grammys back in 2007. John Legend had also performed a duet with Alicia Keys before. And Alicia Keys, John Legend AND Maksim Mvirca play the piano exceptionally well. So, notice the mutuality?

Today's attendance from my afternoon class was really bad. Out of 22 only 12 kids turn up for school. Curse the chicken pox and HFMD and other viruses.
I'm glad that we're a week away from semester break. All of us are on the verge of breaking down, or I bet we already are due to the lecturer's overloaded assignments. I mean, we are fine with the amount he gave us but he could've been more precise. He's the worst lecturer. One even vented her anger.

Strangers have always mistaken me for Chinese and/or Filipino.
Sometimes I fake it but they could tell.
An extraction of Javanese & Baweanese;
but I can converse, write & curse in fluent English & Malay.
I live in Singapore that hasn't been snowing since day one.
My childhood was wicked awesome. Everything was hakuna matata back then.
Life gets more complicating every day. But when times get real tough,
I'll find my inner peace & strength. And God.
I enjoy reflecting on the simple things in life, accompanied by nature.
I worship Adele, Mumford & Sons, Coldplay and Justin Nozuka.
Ellen Page is such a sincere and genuine person,
I wish I could take a day off to hang out with her.
I fist bump my close friends, including my mom. And thank you God, for everything.
