Commute... commute...

Commuting to work is getting crazier nowadays,or rather not just to work, it's anytime of the day, MRT is packed. There's too many people in Singapore now. Too many foreigners? I am one, too... Hmm...
Every morning I am just glad-er that my office is not in town as the commute is at least 3 to 4 times worst.
Sometimes there is this train that pass by empty everyday, but is not for passenger service, I quote. Everytime I see it, I Will somehow pray that SMRT will on that day be nice and say "Hey, just for today, empty train for ya!!!". Sadly so, it never happen.

Jar of hearts

A song I found recently on YouTube. Strong lyrics, apparently the singer wrote it herself over her own love experience. The song itself is a strong reflection of what I wish I can do and be strong enough to do it.





Perri penned the song about a serial heartbreaker she once dated. The singer stated in her blog the story behind the tune: "I wrote the song after I went home to Philadelphia for the holiday last December. I sat in my childhood bedroom and hid from the boy (with the jar of hearts) who wanted to see me. My heart wanted to see him, my head knew better." The song's music video was directed by Jay Martin and was shot on a soundstage designed as a New York City street.

Christina Perri
Jar Of Hearts lyrics

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

I hear you're asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

And I've learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Gaming - My Shops

Been pretty much addicted to gaming since like forever. Not many know this, but I could be stuck in my room without food and drink with lights off from morning till night to play my game during my Uni life. Played hardcore online games like WOW, Diablo, Battlefield, Counter Strike, even Gunbound. Don't even start on my lists of Strategy war games, some stupid girls games that I played for the sake of curiosity. I have always followed SIMS right from SIMS 1, just to see what else can it progress into and how good the graphics could get and how pretty my house could be decorated. Phew, my heart is pounding as I am writing, what a freak!

Now, with Facebook, I am crazy on trying every game I can get my hands on, some I have already deleted as it gets really boring and some have even stopped developing. Today, I had some time on hand, well maybe I can try make myself useful.

Right now, this is what I have on hand, anymore interesting ones?

I have just started playing a new game, My Shops and it's really interesting, at least for now. Check it out. http://apps.facebook.com/myshopsgame/

I like the fact that I don't have to wait until every stock, that is their bread and cakes to be totally sold out to be able to stock some more. That means I can come into the game at any point of time to restock the almost sold out goods. That's cool, not many apps have got this feature. Though I hate how the "energy", in here it's called Love generates every 6 minutes and now at level 7, I have only 15 MAX. I have to log in at 1.5 hours interval so that the Love would not be wasted. Hmm...

I also like how I can build more shops in higher level. Now I can actually build a PET SHOP! But, I don't have any more $$. Cute in-game NPC interactions, decent graphics and sound and buyable things. So far so good, I am still hyped. Interesting ideas on how you have to "create" more people by combining two different characters. Buying stocks takes minutes, instead of hours like other games. It's so cool, you gamers should try it, too...
