unexpectedly, my blog got 'featured' in Singaporedaily and I received a momentary spike in reader count, but i'm sure after the entire issue has passed, it will be back to the same old readers once again.

With Jason Mraz ending yesterday night, it officially marked the end of the 3 concerts i planned to watch this holidays and also the start of a new school term beckons. He was really awesome live, his voice so dreamy be it singing or speaking, the song that i really felt got the crowd going was Curbside Prophet/Remedy. After that, the crowd more or less got more settled and comfortable and were enjoying themselves very much.

I really am glad to be able to finally watch him live. Its performances like 'Mr Curiosity' that made me watch him in the first place, just him, his guitar and Toca, who sadly was not in the show. And yes, he did not play, 'prettiest friend', 'song for a friend' and 'sunshine song', but still it was fantastic. =)


As time passes, things and people around us slowly(ironic isn't it) start to become faster and faster. Nowadays everything seems to be moving at such lightning speed, that we rarely take a break and just slow down, to sit back, relax and enjoy the process of the things. It is all about efficiency, speed and getting the job done. No longer do we appreciate nor enjoy the painstaking process that brings us to our goal. The one thing that made it all worth the while.

And with that realization, its no wonder we no longer appreciate others as we did. Because as present time whizzes by, we stopped learning to thank, and begin taking things for granted.

I, myself am no different. Because the convenience that efficiency brings has crippled me so much it seems improbable to live without it. And immersed in the fast-paced culture of Singapore, to say that you want to slow things down is akin to living in denial.

Only brief moments, such as watching your favorite singer, taking a long bus ride, long showers, I remind myself that life should be enjoyed and i should take a chill pill.

All the while, i look forward to owning my farm in Spain. With many many pets. =)
