Kids In The Dark

Hello, oh gosh I haven't been writing here again! I actually just returned from Singapore like last night. Spent the weekend for Jeslyn's wedding on Saturday! It was a great weekend reuniting and meeting different people as usual. So happy for Jeslyn really, congratulations to Mr and Mrs Foo!

Alright will blog about my trip on a separate post. Now lets talk about the great music of September! There are loads of new albums that I've been expecting in this month and they're amazing. The year is coming to an end soon and I think there isn't much albums I'm expecting. September is a banger really haha. Alright here goes the fantastic music and albums of September!

Great Music of September:

- Saves The World by MUNA (album)

- Lost Girls by Bat For Lashes (album)

- Oncle Jazz by Men I Trust (album)

- I'm Just Like You by Tegan and Sara

- What Does It Take by Miljon

- Hallelujah by Oh Wonder

- All I Want by Abroad

- Time by Abroad

Song of The Month: Hallelujah by Oh Wonder and What Does It Take by Miljon

Four great album in September! Oncle Jazz by Men I Trust is one of the most anticipated albums of 2019 for me and it is amazing. I can't wait for the vinyl to arrive and I'm gonna give it a spin while chilling on a Saturday mwahaha. Also loving the whole 80s synths of BFL Lost Girls. And Muna's Sophomore is also so so good. Tegan and Sara just released their new album on Friday and I'm currently digesting it. But I've been enjoying it so far! :)

Special mention to Miljon's song What Does It Take, which I discovered from Spotify. It is such a great song that somehow reminds me of the past.... Weird but yeah, it's a melancholic song. Perfect to listen to at night and also while driving. Abroad is another band I discovered from Spotify and I love their music. I think they're like the "cousin" of Rufus Du Sol. Also they're from Aussie haha.

Alright that's all for the great music of September! I'm looking forward to some new albums at the end of the year. Like Vancouver Sleep Clinic and Rex Orange County! Looking forward to more new music from Oh Wonder too, and their 3rd album (not sure when it's gonna be released tho). And PREP is writing new music as well (seen from their IG story haha). So yep.

Hope September treated you well. Here's to an Outstanding October for us.

Oh yes, wish me luck cause I'm doing Blogtober!

Missing GT Days

So I recently re-discovered a photo from our Green Desert Project trip in Inner Mongolia 8 years ago. It was a photo of me with the last hole that I dug. And suddenly I miss everything about the trip. The trip is definitely one of the best trips I've went on in my life. The people, the scenery, and everything else. To me it is a trip where life seems to forget about itself - for that 11 days or so.

I really miss those tree-planter days, where we spend the morning working hard and then going back in the evening for dinner, and being knocked out at night. I think I had a glimpse of what a farmer life would be like. And hmm I really don't mind living such a life to be honest :P

I wish I can go back to those days... It was really fun and I got to spend my days surrounded with beautiful views. Well we once talked about doing a 10th year anniversary trip. I hope it'll happen! :)

Hallelujah

Oh Wonder released this new song and video last week and wow it's such a great song for their comeback! I am pretty excited for their new album which is coming soon. Oh Wonder is a band that I really fell in love with since I discovered them 4 years ago. More of their discovery later!

Anyway I just want to quote a line that really hits me beautifully from the song

"Don't go slow cause you're gonna be someone"

Wow, just wow!

Uninspired

You're probably bored of me talking about this but yes, I've been finding it more and more difficult to blog these days! Ironic how this month marked the 11th year that I'm blogging but this wave of un-inspiration hit me like a tsunami haha. Well like what I mentioned in my previous post, there isn't much things to talk about these days. And also I've been quite busy too. It feels like every other night, all I wanna do is just rest and do nothing. I still do journal weekly tho. Maybe I should blog weekly too.

Like I usually blog on Saturday nights but nowadays I actually spend my Saturday nights just listening to vinyl or music in my room and do nothing. And it's such a blissful act to be honest. Also it is something I imagine myself doing on Saturday nights when I was younger. It's happening! Hah.

I usually blog/journal while listening to music on Saturday nights but these days I don't even do either. I would just lay on my bed with music blasting in my room. And it's pretty chill and enjoyable.

Alright anyway, I am going to try to accomplish what I began in mind earlier this year - of hitting 100 posts for this year. I might change my goal for next year haha. We'll see. At the rate I'm going, I don't think I'll ever hit 100 posts! But yes I might be doing Blog-tober next month.

Okay that's all for this really sad update haha. Thank you to my blog Clouds of Sunday for always being there for me! Lets write more stories together, no matter how small and how often.

Okay maybe I need to write a more proper celebratory post heh. Have a great September people.
