was on friday introduced to the 全民K歌 and 全民party apps. was fun; would do again. a friend said the circuit breaker may well break us all before breaking the virus' chain of transmission. i believe it! i glance out of my windows at such odd hours and find so many more households' lights still on these days than in the past. now i kinda wish i'd opted ( Read more... )

nice rendition of karen mok's original. it starts getting really good only in the middle after around the 2.5-minute mark when they start harmonising, imo. been a boring couple of days, very boring, but then i don't hope for an end to this boring, cos it's better than stressful and intense.

heard this song on the radio on sunday night. lots of chaos going on out there right now, but on a personal level, things are going very well indeed (albeit having to be bound at home for the next few days). sure, i still miss being the apple of someone's eye, 那种受人家呵护的感觉、被人家捧上天的滋味; but we all have to grow up. exciting days ahead. :)

three molotov cocktail bombs and dunnohowmany rounds of tear gas at wanchai tonight less than two minutes from my flat. the street was briefly on fire and for about an hour or so there was a lot of police sirens and shouting before the protesters moved on to their next destination. but surely nothing at wanchai tonight could be worse than the tear ( Read more... )

love the songs from the first half of this clip, because we grew up singing them and their lyrics are very close to heart. having lived abroad for so long has really helped me to appreciate our tiny home country so much more. i love you, singapore -- warts and all.

while hk protesters are busy surrounding the police stations, smashing police vehicles, catapulting pavement bricks into the stations, throwing petrol bombs and setting police property and other things on the streetside on fire, here i am, seated at home, urgently contacting agent after agent to arrange flat viewings back in sg. lol ( Read more... )
