Strangeland

Currently Listening To: Strangeland - Keane



I bought the album two years ago, but only started appreciating this song lately.
Beautifully written song IMHO.

Just Some Thoughts...

Currently Listening To: A Team - Ed Sheeran





This song, I've been listening to it for a while in Lite.fm but I never really noticed the lyrics until not long ago. A sad song about a prostitute slowly losing herself to drugs - cocaine - A Team drugs.

It's been out for quite a while, since 2011. Took me 3 years to get into the song. Really makes you think about your life, and how you're surviving the harsh world. I'm not saying I relate to being a drug addicted hooker, but life rarely is how you want it to be and sometimes you do get stuck in a situation where you can't control and can't get out of. And then you're just...lost, hoping for it to end somehow.

Signs of Life?

Currently Listening To: Boom Clap - Charli XCX

Well hello again blog, it's been a while.
I've been so lazy where I didn't even attempt to finish what I had started - blog about finales of The Voice and American Idol (and that was like my passion!)

Anyways, it was a sausage fest again, with Josh Kaufman and Caleb Johnson emerging as the winners of their respective competitions. Deserving winners, I think.

What else is new in life?
Somehow I've lost interest in putting my thoughts to pen and paper, or in this case, an online platform. I don't know, the only people blogging now are those wannabe beauty bloggers and existing bloggers who are actually making a living out of it. (Unlike me, I don't get paid for writing reviews). It's probably because of work though, writing reports everyday will definitely turn you off from writing anywhere else. Unless you're really diligent or something.

So yes, I have a new job! It's been three months actually, was on probation until I got confirmed yesterday. Time sure flies, it felt like I had just left Agilent not that long ago.

I don't particularly miss the people nor the job, it really wasn't my cup of tea and some people and situations there were getting on my nerves. The only thing I miss is the freedom to roam the halls whenever I want to, or at least migrate to the canteen when I needed a break.

All I have now is tiny pantry, but that's okay cuz most of the time I'm too busy to even breathe. Ironic, since I find this job a breath of fresh air compared to whatever I was doing before. It's all about the interest and the personality, and of course, people that you actually get along with. Definitely easier to enjoy a working place when you feel like you belong, as opposed to being surrounded by people that you dislike. Colleagues play an important part of working life, so even if your job is unbearable at least there's something to look forward to.

On the other hand, I miss having breakfast with a certain someone every morning =( After doing something for so long and being so comfortable with it, it just makes you feel like you're missing something. Three months already, and I'm still trying to get used to it.

Disjointed and disheveled thoughts. This post is so random and disjointed I don't even.

Why I'm blogging right now? I guess I just wanted to express my thoughts a bit, no matter how disjointed they are.

A lot of tragedies lately. It makes you appreciate life and your loved ones more, and to cherish the moments you have.

That's it for now, until next time then.

xoxo
