Amor Fati

Epik High latest album is amazing. All of the songs are spammed daily, thanks bro. *rolls eyes*

They came back with Born Hater. I think most of the K-Pop lovers must at least listen to this song once by now.


Though, I do like their collaboration with Lee Soo Hyun of AKMU in Happen Ending. AKMU is my latest favourite group, they are too cute together.


Amor Fati which means 'Love of Fate' in Latin, has caught my attention and it has become my favourite song in the album. It kind of speak out for my unspoken soul.


God doesn’t love me
I have a lot to get off my chest
No need for a confession
Just give me the ashtray
Inhale. Exhale
Curses come out before the smoke
If I dirty my body and mouth
Hell
Will I remember you for a moment?
You’re my sleeping pill, my caffeine
My virus, my vaccine
My bible, my dirty magazine under my bed
I’m in trouble
We’re perfectly fitting pieces for different puzzles
What the unholy world considers holy
They cannot change me.
Nothing can save me.

You try to run away,
run away from the world.
But then you run away,
run away from yourself
and you don’t know the way home
I believe in myself
I believe in the moments I can see with my eyes
I believe in this drink
But they call me a non-believer.

You try to run away,
run away from the world.
But then you run away,
run away from yourself
and you don’t know the way home.
I believe in myself
I believe in the sweat on my hands
I believe in my heart
I believe in love
But they call me a non-believer.

A greater vice than selling me drugs is selling me the wrong answer
That answer is my fear, reeling in ignorance and unhappiness
It’s a business that sells me meat for several times more than it’s valued
I eat it for nothing
Fate carries life and the mission
Marinating salvation with ideas of fame
On top of an unknown future
It’s the source of a thousand illnesses that kicks away the meal table of the starved reality
It’s hell’s kitchen
They’re all gathering under the red sign of their favorite place
Saying each place is the original, being stubborn about their own taste
What they sell is the same poison
The scariest of it all are the overeating ideas
Just one meal of answers makes the table shake
Making you salivate until you can’t even hold the spoon anymore
Blind beliefs, showing signs of indigestion only after you show blood

You try to run away,
run away from the world.
But then you run away,
run away from yourself
and you don’t know the way home
I believe in myself
I believe in the moments I can see with my eyes
I believe in this drink
But they call me a non-believer.

You try to run away,
run away from the world.
But then you run away,
run away from yourself
and you don’t know the way home.
I believe in myself
I believe in the sweat on my hands
I believe in my heart
I believe in love
But they call me a non-believer.

There’s no way home.

They break a perfectly fine leg and make you use a cane
They make you eat a poisonous apple when you’re hungry
They make you hold guns and knives instead of hands
Are you all clean?

They break a perfectly fine wing and make you crawl on the ground
They click tongues and point fingers
Does that mean you can throw stones at the sin-less?
Isn’t throwing a stone a sin itself?

Oh God.
He doesn’t love me.
I know He doesn’t love me.
Well, neither do I.
Neither do I.

We are others.

We are the others.

Being a Random Foodie in Singapore

This is not really a post, it will be just pictures of food while I was in Singapore last year. Enjoy!
Wang Dae Bak Korean BBQ, had this as lunch with my collage buddies. It's a long queue during weekdays because it's affordable and good.
Just having a cuppa of Caffe Latte at Paul. It's quite a posh place for high tea. You definitely need to try their pastries and desserts. It is to die for.
Had high tea with my babe at Paris Baguette Cafe. Tried out their coffees and pastries.
Their famous Royale Pudding in Original and Chocolate flavour. That piece of pastry is called Tiramisu. Nothing to much to be raving about, but I will come back for their coffee and pudding if the crowd is not too much.
 
One of the best Ramen you have to try. The Japanese chain Ippudo restaurant. We do have a few outlets in Malaysia now too.
Celebrated my aunt's birthday in Long Beach Seafood Restaurant with family and friends. You MUST try their famous White Pepper Alaskan King Crab! It's pretty addictive. Oh ya, Singaporeans love their Chilli Crab, it's worth a try too.
This is the best Razor Clam I have ever tried! It's called Steamed Scottish Razor Clam with Minced Garlic. This dish was so simply prepared, so that we can tasted it's freshness. Makes me hungry now!
Had another meet up with my college buddies at Akashi Japanese Restaurant for dinner.
 
 
 I guess everyone was hungry, so we all ordered bento sets.
Just in case you have food pictures overload, here's a picture of me trying out my friend's then new Samsung Note 3 camera :)
French Toast
Another night out for dinner with a friend at Hoshino Coffee. It's a Japanese Chain Fusion Restaurant. Lots of desserts for all sweet tooth out there. There's also space for Green Tea and Coffee lovers.
"Hoshino" Spaghetti with Eggplant, Bacon, Shimeji & Sausage
Pancake Souffle Style
Red Velvet Cupcake

Seems like I had a lot of high tea time during this trip. Went to Marmalade Pantry with my besties.
Sticky Date and Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream
Although the dessert is good but this place is always crowded and their service is not good. I suggest you make reservations before coming.
We were fooling around by taking pictures of this huge flower and compare it with Shirley's head. 
Group pic!
This is one of my favourite Japanese Fast Food Restaurant, Yoshinoya. I don't know why they closed down the ones in Malaysia :'(
Cafe Latte & Tuna Sandwich
I had lunch with my aunt before I left Singapore. This place, Caffe Beviamo is quite underrated. Thus, they serve amazing coffee and Australian-inspired sandwiches. Missed this a lot!
Egg Salad with Tomato & Toast
