SINGAPORE SHORT STORIES

Days like this, I want to drive away Pack my bags And watch your shadow fade

Some days ago, I caught a golden oldie "Love in the First Degree" on radio. This nice song sent me all the way back, many years back to be exact, to my primary school days when I would be hearing this song played in my school bus.

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed alone The morning rain clouds up my window And I can't see at all And even if I could it' d all be grey But your picture on my wall it reminds me That it's not so bad, it's not so bad

I think I have been always engaged in the internet world. This is my pre-occupation after work. But I am wise enough to steer clear of spending too much time online on platforms like Facebook etc.

These few weeks, I keep listening one song which I soon grow to love and that is the song Owl City by Fireflies . If you click the link, you would be able to hear the song, unfortunately, the embed link is not available else I would have embedded it here. I am a music lover, but equally importantly to enjoying one's song is the appreciation of the meaning of the song. And here are the lyrics of the song. As I have guessed correctly just from hearing the tune of the song, this song is about a man who would love the earth to spin a little bit slower so that his childhood days will remain longer. I can really identify with this song, and no wonder I love the song so much! I mean childhood to many is really one of the best times of one's life as one does not have too much responsibilites, one need not have to worry about earning a living and supporting one's family and there is always so much to find out about the world and there seems to be endless of fun! But when we start wo...

I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream and my cardigan welcome to the land of fame excess, am I gonna fit in? Jumped in the cab, Here I am for the first time Look to the right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody seems so famous My tummys turnin and I'm feelin kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous, That's when the taxi man turned on the radio and a Jay Z song was on and the Jay Z song was on and the Jay Z song was on CHORUS: So I put my hands up They’re playing my song, And the butterflys fly away Noddin’ my head like yea Movin my hips like yea I got my hands up, They’re playin my song I know im gonna be ok Yea, It's a party in the USA Yea, It's a party in the USA Get to the club in my taxi cab Everybody's lookin at me now Like “whos that chick, thats rockin’ kicks? She gotta be from out of town” So hard with my girls not around me Its definitely not a Nashville party Cause’ all I see are stilletos I guess I never got the m...

As I was passing the music store of Raffles City shopping centre this afternoon, I heard a song I love emanating from within the store! I am a lover of classical song and have been trying to find the title of this piece of music, immediately I approached the sales lady and asked her what this song was. I was indeed thrilled to have finally found this song! Sit back and enjoy this song!

I would like to recommend the above song to readers. This piece is from my favorite musician, Yanni! Besides Yanni, I also admire Kitaro! These two musicians craft the BEST music the world has ever heard! This Youtube video showcases the beauty of Antartica, however I have also managed to grasp the effect of global warming on Antartica...natural beauty at its best is losing its shine! The world's largest inhabitated land mass, home to the penguins, not polar bears (polar bears live in North Pole) may soon be gone!

I'm 15 for a moment Caught in between 10 and 20 And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where you are I'm 22 for a moment She feels better than ever And we're on fire Making our way back from Mars 15 there's still time for you Time to buy and time to lose 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live I'm 33 for a moment Still the man, but you see I'm a they A kid on the way A family on my mind I'm 45 for a moment The sea is high And I'm heading into a crisis Chasing the years of my life 15 there's still time for you Time to buy, Time to lose yourself Within a morning star 15 I'm all right with you 15, there's never a wish better than this When you only got 100 years to live Half time goes by Suddenly you’re wise Another blink of an eye 67 is gone The sun is getting high We're moving on... I'm 99 for a moment Dying for just another moment And I'm just dreaming Counting the ways to where yo...

I have discovered a favorite pastime not too recently by listening to the heavenly music from musical luminaries like Yanni, Kitaro and the like on Youtube. Listening to the magical music and watching the performance is almost a heavenly experience, invigorating and enthralling my senses of sight and sound and soothing, relaxing my soul and spirit. You should try too, if you have the time.
