Fell in love with this Gotye song afer hearing it sung by Elise & Phillip on American Idol.
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
I told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kinda sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believin it was always something that I'd done
But I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
But you didn't have cut me off
Make it like it never happened and that we were nothing
I don't even need your love, but you treat me like a stranger
and that feels so rough
No, you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect you records
And then change your number
Guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
Somebody that I used to know
Somebody (somebody) (now your just somebody that I used to know)
That I used to know
I used to know
That I used to know
I used to know
Somebody
I love nothing more than to browse through hundreds of online shopping sites for gorgeous buys at awesome bargains. Channeling my OCD into good use, I have now started a blog organising shopping sprees for friends and myself. Please do check out: http://gorgeous-buys.blogspot.com!
It is not only a spree site but also a thrift store. Do you have something that no longer fits or no longer fancy? Email me and I will post those items up on the site for free!
We had an early birthday celebration for my other precious daughter in Katong Park Dog Run on Easter Sunday. Meg saved up a long time to pay for this party. But I'm going to have to say this is probably my first & my last. It's a mad house trying to handle both kids & furkids!
Doggy food galore from The Bakehouse! Pillow does tend to get a tad bit allergic & hence I try my best to feed her fresh food all the time. Now instead of purchasing pre-packed treats from the pet stores, I've been getting fresh ones from The Bakehouse instead.
Birthday cake is a must! (And yes, we even sang birthday song :p)
Mini burgers - no yeast dough were used in the buns. They are tofu so I don't have to be worried about allergy!
Even sushi too! All food are human grade so you can help yourself to them if your dogs can't finish them :)
Cake pups - these were gone in seconds!
Special gift from owner of The Bakehouse - you can just see the amount of love put into preparing these dog food.
Some of Pillow's pressies
Dear Pillow having fun running free in the dog run
The princess is 2! ♥♥♥
Ewww ….. manners, Pillow!
Wahahaha! I think Latte refused to walk ~~ (Don't worry, she's not being dragged around)
Our pawty wouldn't have been a success without our dear guests
Awwww ….. this would have been a nice shot of Brownie :(
Peggy's pics to the rescue! It's really hard to take photos when your hands were always tied around one leash or another :p
Baby BoBo - 8 months old Lab & Husky mix
Sweet Pepper who helped us finish up the food :)
Don't be deceived by this small cute thing ……. Joe Joe can be a real rascal!
Meg: I think our government has a lot of money. Me: Yup ..... Our money ..... Meg: Then why do they spend so much on useless things rather than giving it to the people? I wish this kid can vote. She has more sense than the majority of the adult Singaporeans.
Courtesy of Pfizer, I managed to take a trip to Paris en route to picking Leto from Oxford to Singapore for Chinese New Year :p (I know it's been 3 months since my trip & so this is yet another outdated post but what's new? *shrugs*)
We took the metro from CDG airport to Gare du Nord to deposit our luggages as it wasn't till much later that we were able to check into our apartment. The luggage deposit lockers was pretty secure with security checks and all, but 1 important tip - GO EQUIPPED WITH LOOSE CHANGE! The coin-changing machine was unfortunately spoiled when we were there & the staffs were no help. We ran around the entire station trying to break our notes but everyone just shooed us away! Luckily we met a young couple next to our locker who helped us. You can guess that our impression of Paris was at rock bottom.
Another tip - It isn't fun lugging heavy luggages up & down the many many stairs of Paris metro stations. I'd read that it was possible to bring your luggages around in the metro & I got ambitious. I haven't quite realised there were so many stairs! So if you're alone, with a luggage & a cabin bag, take a cab. It's well worth the money.
Since it was a Sunday, we decided to pay tribute to the largest flea market in the world - Les Puces de Saint-Ouen in Porte de Clignancourt. The market was huge! I went with my brand new Canon 7D hoping to take some really nice pictures but I took naught :( I couldn't hold the camera as I was freezing & I needed to wrap my arms around myself to keep myself warm. I'd never been frozen so bad!
I had only myself to blame. I decided not to waste time piling on clothes as we had already taken so much time navigating & looking for loose change, so I went out in whatever I wore on the plane. The cold settled into my knees & sadly I was limping badly after that for the entire trip. I admit I'm old!
At the biggest flea market but all I did was to look for a place to sit down for a hot drink. Arghhh …… I could have strangled myself!
Here it is! Our apartment in 52 Rue des Abbesses.
Finally something turned out right! I couldn't thank my stars enough. The apartment was awesome!
Not much of a view but the apartment itself was modern & new. There's washing machine, kitchenette, & even an extra (hidden) bed behind the dining table.
I can be a total bitch when I travel. I am HUGE on accommodation. It was agonizing trying to find lodging in Paris because most affordable hotels were old & cramp. I was so lucky that there was a special price for this particular apartment at that moment. I paid lesser than what I would have paid for a 3 stars hotel. The apartment was 5 minutes away from the metro & 8 minutes away from Moulin Rouge. You might think it's sleazy being so close to Moulin Rouge but I can assure you that it's not. So if you're travelling to Paris, especially in a group, do consider an apartment instead of hotel. I'd done my research. Loads of good ones around.
Although knowing my luck, something was bound to be wrong with the apartment. Sure enough, the lift was spoiled! Actually a really minor issue since we're only on the 2nd storey. But problem was that my knees couldn't take any stairs during the trip.
Decked out in my favourite pink
Met the sweetest girl, Grace, on the metro. She was so intrigued by my pink attire & my gel nails that she started fingering my nails & clothes. I don't think Parisians dress in pink very much :p
Not wasting any time & we're at the Eiffel Tower on our 1st night
As it was a last minute trip, I didn't manage to book my tix online. The queue was insane & not to mention the wind!
I thought I was bundled up warm enough but apparently not. In the end, we gave up waiting as it was just too cold. So sadly, that's all I can say about Eiffel Tower :(
We gave up the Eiffel Tower for food & warmth! Popped into a random cafe nearby to escape from the cold. This was fast becoming the story of our lives.
