My brother Dezhi has been talking about buying the first album by Corrine May for sometime. Have finally gotten around to buying it.
Fly Away is the first song in the album and is the song which evokes the greatest feelings within me. From the first time I have heard it and listened closely to the lyrics of the song, I have been greatly touched by it, so much so that I teared by the time I finished hearing the song.
Would have uploaded the song hear if I only knew how, hope if there's a chance, you'll can go listen to it and see if you're just as touched as I am...

When will you be home?" she asks
as we watch the planes take off
We both know we have no clear answer to where my dreams may lead
She's watched me as I crawled and stumbled
As a child, she was my world
And now to let me go, I know she bleeds
and yet she says to me

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

Autumn leaves fell into spring time and
Silver-painted hair
Daddy called one evening saying
"We need you. Please come back"
When I saw her laying in her bed
Fragile as a child
Pale just like an angel taking flight
I held her as I cried

You can fly so high
Keep your gaze upon the sky
I'll be praying every step along the way
Even though it breaks my heart to know we'll be so far apart
I love you too much to make you stay
Baby fly away

This post would have turned up a lot earlier if not for the fact that my computer hanged while I was typing this this afternoon...

Am feeling a bit guilty actually, been ignoring this blog for so long!

Was just saying earlier that I have not been blogging for so long that I have a lot of things stored up in my mind and didn't really know what I would like to start with first.

Hmm... Maybe I should just start with this. ;p

Recently I've been having a fetish for tankinis, think will eventually get one before the end of this month. Think it started out when I went shopping for swimwear with Zhixian they all. Initially I just thought to go see see look look, kapoh for awhile you know but the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to get one for myself. It works for me as it covers virtually everything without revealing my ugly tummy. ;)

Been surfing on the Net to find out where I can get tankinis in Singapore and found this very interesting local ecommerce site, http://3dots.com.sg. Was really tickled to find a series of National Day Bikinis (NDB) but am really impressed that we actually have local designers designing and manufacturing unique bikinis and tankinis for sale via the Web.

~ Here are 2 examples of the NDBs. Am risking placing the pic here, hope I won't get into any trouble! Free advertising for them on my blog here. ;0p ~

Checked it out and found it to be a great site. Other than the usual modes of payment (credit or cheque), they actually have payment via fund transfer! I must say that's an ingenious idea. There are always those people out there who either have no credit card or don't trust online transactions yet don't own any cheque book. Fund transfer is a great alternative for such people. We can pick different sizes for the top and bottom, according to our size too. That's really pretty flexible of them.

They've got a retail shop called Maameemoo in Cineleisure. Will probably go down and at least try out the sizes, don't want any trouble of ordering the wrong size should I really decide to buy from them.

Actually have my eye on one rather sweet one but it may not suit me after all... Hmm... Will see if there might be any other new designs that I like better coming out...

Now if only the price were slightly less steep. Must seriously consider whether to make this mini investment...

Oh well! Guess that's what one has to pay to be unique!

Note to self: Must go downtown one of these days to look around and see I can find something I want...
