Coronation

So I went down to Coronation Plaza the other day, our usual haunt for any of the normal (grocery, urgent) shopping in our Junior College days. Which seem so long ago now, more than 4 years have gone by.

It's amazing how that place never changes. Ever. At all. The only change I remember during the time I lived nearby was the POSB Branch closing and shifting out. Still the good old Fairprice, with the corner dedicated to magazines where you will always find a teenager browsing. The same sad wearmart with clothes that were discarded by humanity (and even Mustafa). The lone boutique which I have never stepped into, the photocopying shops, the shops with no focus (they sell clothes, caps as well as past year papers). Uniform shop that does not sell NJ uniform, and we had to go all the way to remote Beauty World to buy our uniquely water-fire-proof stone grey uniforms. All the suspicious looking hardware stores which look like they are a facade for some sinister undercover trade.

And Coronation Clinic. Brings back so many memories. Of the numerous unverifiable excuses we came up with to exchange 5$ for a day of freedom. Cramps, flu, diarrhea. And got so many sermons from the doctor. Remember the Harry Potter incident? We got such lectures and threats from the pissed off doctor that day as 3 of us marched in together with such fake excuses :P

And as the bus drove by 6th Avenue, I thought back again, as I often have, to JC2. One of the best years I've ever had, mainly due to the 11 people who were a part of it. Such long walks (from HCIBS to 6th Ave, normally a 10 minute walk which we often took up to an hour for). The dogs barking from all those pretty houses up the slope, the minister's house with the security guards outside. The jokes, leg-pulling, slope-climbing, cursing.

Ah, memories.

Jalebee?

Happy V Day :)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love

The charms of Simplicity

Art is about creativity

And expanding the very definition of what can be called art.

Last Christmas...

This has been playing around in malls and I like it :D



Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, You gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice shy
I keep my distance but you still catch my eye
Tell me baby do you recognise me?
Well it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me

(Happy Christmas!) I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying "I Love You" I meant it
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now I know you'd fool me again

The Good Life

I love this kid.

The power of Bob Marley can make a lil kid stop cryin.

Post-it love

Chasing Cars

If I had to pick one song to epitomise my whole exchange, it would be this one. It is such a beautiful song, with hope, despair, vulnerability and tenacity all mixed into one big melting pot of awesomeness. I remember trudging around in the snow in my boots listening to this very loudly and singing along when I thought no one was around.

Though the video I had seen so far was a different one, I like this one better. More suitable. Though the guy has a very Ogre-like face, don't you think? Ok I shall not be mean.

If I lay here, If I just lay here.
Would you lie with me, And just forget the world?

Oh John u make life worth living ♥

I'm such a sucker for dimples.

Tum chalo toh Hindustan chale

I forever love this video
