My long-awaited guitar cover

I've been wanting to record this song for such a long time, I can't believe it's finally done! I've been too busy to really set aside time to learn the song, learn the guitar chords, and finally record it.

This song brings so much feels to me - for those of you who understand chinese, the lyrics are so meaningful and tragic. It feels so real, so nostalgic, and so poignant. It's about a couple parting ways (and hence the title "Your Luggage"), yet they still love each other. It's the case where the relationship doesn't work out despite both parties' greatest efforts...



If you haven't heard the original song before, please be sure to listen to it here! I know they sound wayyy better than mine awful singing, so be sure to listen to my song first so it won't seem as bad xD

Three Thousand Words

Since a picture speaks a thousand words, here are three thousand words for you (plus some bonus words):

I didn't get to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival this year, but I got to eat some mooncakes the next day! One of my coworkers brought mooncakes - and did I mention that he's Singaporean? He's the first other Singaporean that we recruited, and from Cal no less! :D

The only photo I got of the full moon the night of Mid-Autumn Festival...this was as I was getting home at midnight on Wednesday night. This week has been a whirlwind of crazy - super long hours at work (averaging 16h each day - I worked till 3am on Thursday night!!).

This is the view of some filming in Chicago where I pass by everyday. Interestingly, Fox 32 films at this location every morning, interviewing random small celebrities.

And before I knew it, it's October already! I'll be flying off to South America for my vacation in a month - I didn't even realise it's so soon >.> Also, I've been thinking about trying for a dance performance workshop - it will be for 10 weeks, and we will learn and practice a full song choreography, and perform at the Palace of Fine Arts in December! I've been wanting to do this for a year, but always haven't had time or have been traveling on the weekends.

The dance performance that I really want to do is kpop with Jin Kim, but I can't because it's on Monday nights and I'm traveling during the week for work :(  This time I'll try to make it work by taking the hip hop workshop instead on Sunday evenings - I'll be missing 3 sessions (because of South America) but I'll try to make up for it by practising lots!
