Brown baby

I decided to take a few pictures of Brown Baby in my room. For what reason? For fun of cos.

My CD shelf

Brown Baby promoting Mariah's latest album...keke

Posing with my operas, with the key necklace that Marc bought for me

Any one wants to go? By the Singapore Lyric Opera... it should be good...

Soma

This is place where Marc is working... a small little cafe named Soma. It's just behind Great Eastern building, the one with the huge Hans on the first floor. The cafe is also home to two tigress that are not exactly in good terms.... hope Marc will survive this clash for supremacy between the 2.

To give a brief review for those that had not been there before, the lattes are there very good... i love their Kahlua latte, Tiramisu latte and the Irish cream latte. The sandwiches are also good, the Turkey ham bacon sandwich and the Chicken sandwich. If you're in the vicinity, go try it out. Who knows, you may be in time to catch a show of 2 fighting tigress if you're lucky.

Dear Dear's Birthday Celebration!!

Marc celebrated his 24th birthday at Goin Om, our current hangout place...keke... almost 20 people turned up for his birthday, to have some wonderful finger food and good old champagne, coupled with actual couples and desserts. Let the pictures do the talking.

Have you bought this yet?

This is her 2nd single from her latest super album, named bye bye. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho28txSGqxs

Bye Bye

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye

As a child there were them times
I didn't get it but you kept me in line
I didn't know why you didn't show up some times
On Sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown full things separation brings
You never let me know it, you never let it show
Because you loved me and obviously
Theres so much more left so say
If you were with me today face to face

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

Bye bye

And you never got a chance to see how good I’ve done
And you never got to see me back at number one
I wish that you were here to celebrate together
I wish that we could spend the holidays together
I remember when you used to tuck me in at night
With the Teddy Bear you gave me that I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It’s so hard to accept the fact you’re gone forever

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life goes on like
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile”
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
Am standing right here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Bye bye bye bye bye bye) x3

This is for my peoples who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby, your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye (no, no, no)
Mamma's, daddy's, sisters, brothers, friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye, bye

Chorus
I never knew I could hurt like this (I never knew it)
And everyday life goes on like (everyday of my life I wish)
“I wish I could talk to you for awhile” (I wish)
“Miss you but I try not to cry”
As time goes by (I wish, I wish, I wish as time goes by)
And as soon as you reached a better place
Still I’ll give the world to see your face
And we were here next to you
It feels like you're gone too soon
Now the hardest thing to do is say bye bye

(Its hard to say bye bye bye bye bye bye
So come on somebody sing it with me
Wave your hands up high
Hey hey, this if for my peoples who just lost somebody
So this is for everybody
You put your hand to the sky
'Cos we will never say bye bye)

Another track that i love from the album is the 4th track "I stay in love". You can hear the song here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWovsex9EBo

I stay in love

I Stay In Love
Baby, I stay in love with you

Dying inside cause I can't stand it
Make or break up
Can't take this madness
We don't even really know why
All I know is baby I
Try and try so hard
To keep our love alive
If you dont' know me at this point
Then I highly doubt you ever will
I really need you to give me
That unconditional love I used to feel
It's no mistaking
We're just erasing
From our hearts and minds

And I know we said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
Cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you

And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like 'Oh well'
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you
Now no matter what I do
Baby, baby
I stay in love with you

Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Baby, I stay in love with you

It cuts so deep
It hurts down to my soul
My friends tell me
I ain't the same no more
We still need each other
When we stumble and fall
How we gon' act
Like what we had
Ain't nothin' at all

What I wanna do is
Ride shot-gun next to you
With the top down like we used to
Hit the block
Proud in the SUV
We both know our heart is breaking
Can we learn from our mistakes
I can't last one moment alone

We said let go
But I kept on hanging on
Inside I know it's over
You're really gone
It's killing me
Cause there ain't nothing
That I can do
Baby, I stay in love with you

And I keep on telling myself
That you'll come back around
And I try to front like 'Oh well'
Each time you let me down
See I can't get over you
Now no matter what I do
Baby, baby
I stay in love with you

Going OMmmmmm

The staircase leading up to the 2nd level.

The trapdoor on the 2nd level opens to the front of the cafe on the 1st floor

Buddha painting on the wall of Om. The 2nd floor is supposed to be a meditation room in the weekdays, but whenever we're there, its a disco party...haha

Part of the room...on the 2nd level

The laptop area where i always put my Ipod touch, to play my songs of course...on our very 1st day, Oliver (1 of the boss) just said that we can even use his laptop to surf net etc... its really like a home of sorts..

New Discovery

We discovered a new hang out place recently, after our dinner at a Egyptian restaurant at Arab street. We were looking for a place to have coffee and desserts, when i remembered the small cafe that Janet had her birthday once. It was called Black room or something. However, when we reached the cafe, we realized that the cafe had closed, but in its place is another cafe. At the entrance there are plants, a wooden swing and birds, real birds in cages. It looks promising and therefore decided to give it a shot. At that time it was still very new and therefore they do not have any food as they do not have their food license yet. Drinks were available though and thus we stayed. We went to the upper level of the shophouse and realized that the sofas that were there during 'Black room' days were replaced by mattresses and plush pillows. I guess the whole idea and concept is like being at a friend's house. There is no menu so the owners or whoever is serving you will try to read the menu off their heads, the speaker is just there and that we can just play our music, there are boardgames and whatnot.... a very nice place to hang out. Naturally, we kept returning to that cafe as the owners are soooo nice to us (they gave us complimentary stuff!) and that the food is not too bad. The 1 thing that kept luring me back is the dessert. 1 of the owner came up with a dessert called strawberry delight or surprise and THAT is heavenly. If you happen to be there you have to order this dish. It has frozen strawberries at the bottom covered with cream and hot cheese at the top. Just that dish alone can make me a regular customer. Other food that i can recommend is the fried mushrooms, seaweed chicken and this meatball thingy...i forgot to take pictures of the 1st floor but since 19 April Marc will celebrate his birthday there so there will definitely be more pictureS.

Going Om is situated along Haji lane... Just find the only shophouse with lots of plants and a wooden swing at the entrance.. can't miss it

More pictures taken from Daniel's camera..
