I have a new travel companion!

My Urbanears have finally gave up on me after 2.5 years of abuse. I really loved those headphones even though they're so bulky. I can't live without a few hours everyday tuning out the rest of the world and drown myself in sweet tunes, so I set off looking for a worthy replacement.

Thanks to omy.sg, I've been chosen to participate in a campaign involving the new Plantronics BackBeat GO 2 earbuds. My task is to showcase how I incorporate these buds into my every day life. You probably know by now that I travel for work and how I am on the move most of the month. So these buds are a godsend!

Plus, I am really, really excited because it's my first time participating in a blogger competition that is based locally. As snotty as this may sound, I am pretty choosy with the products I choose to put my efforts in reviewing on this blog. It can't be any random thing off the streets; it must be something I can trust and get everyone to like it too. And, I get new earphones to play with.. what could be more awesome than that?

My posts on the BackBeat GO 2 will be up on the campaign blog along with 20 other bloggers competing for the grand prize of SGD 500 cash. They are all accomplished Singaporean bloggers, and I feel like a new kid at school. So do check them out too!

Plus, for a limited time, Plantronics is extending a discount of 15% off your new BackBeat GO 2 (earbuds + carry case/charger) to all my wonderful readers. Use the code: 15omyintan upon checkout to enjoy the great discount! Unfortunately, only available to Singapore residents only. Sorry guys. :(

Enjoy the rest of your week!

You're an asshole, but I love you.

This latest single by P!nk is by far the BEST song to describe my feelings for the one man I loved. Seriously, 'at the same time I wanna hug you, I wanna wrap my hands around your neck', you and I know that this song is definitely made for me... TO YOU.
This man I loved has an ego the size of the moon, is self-centred and highly judgmental, highly critical of people who don't share the same views as he does. He talks shit about people, laughs at their pronunciation blunders.. but sweetie, yours ain't that hot either. He is sensitive, sweet, lovable and kind. He is in no way a romantic, but tries hard to show some love in his own clumsy, yet endearing ways. He's smart, and funny.. and he's fiercely protective over the people he loves. Even though he doesn't outwardly show it, he cares a whole lot. Sometime he cares too much for his own good.
I loved everything about him; the good, the bad and the nasty. I loved car rides with him where we'd sing tunelessly to the songs on the radio, and talk about important stuff. God knows why, all our important conversations.. good and bad.. had always been in the car. I loved how his beautiful brown eyes sparkle when he's happy, get downcast when he's sad and flares up when he's pissed. I loved how uninhibited he used to be around me.
When it had all been reduced to awkward tension so massive that others could feel it; gazes I'd sometimes catch him throwing my way when I looked across the room (I bet they're of disdain and I-wish-you-would-die kind of stares), and the chatter that I heard about him bitching about me, I loved him. 
Once, a friend asked if I liked him, and  I, without a doubt, declared: No. Because that's the truth. I mean, how the hell can you like a person after all the grief he'd caused you? To be honest, I didn't like him when I first met him, and now it seemed to have come a full circle. But I loved him, and believe me, there is a HUGE difference.
To conclude this ramble, I'm going to say for the 492702957215th time in this post, I loved him. I loved him more than I ever thought I could. He knew it, but unfortunately, I'll never be good enough for him. He also knew that nobody will ever come close to loving him as much as I had. And me? I'm learning to love again, slowly but surely.
"No one else can break my heart like you." ❤

Happy Hazy Friday!

Panic Cord was one of the songs I listen to once, and decided okay, I'm going to cover that... and it's not going to be one of those semangat 50 sen* moments I tend to suffer from. Partly because the song's lyrics seemed written for what I am going through right now. Tweaked the lyrics towards the end to make it slightly more personal.

The haze hits 400 at 11 am today, but that ain't gonna stop me from going out and having fun. I am going to be one of those people walking around town not giving a rat's ass about masks (n95 and decorated or not). I'm probably going to die young, but who cares. The day is going to be awesomely packed, and I foresee a start to a good weekend.
