Love in a Piggy Year

Well then, another Chinese New Year rolls on by... It's been quite awhile since I last post... Been way too busy with both work and personal stuff! But nothing new in that department there. Here's a holla to all of y'all celebrating CNY with me. Hope everyone will have a prosperous, healthy, successful and blessed New Year! It's the year of the Pig, by the way, generally a good year for most, if the fengshui pundits are to be believed. Sounds good to me! One more shoutout to my man, Mr Wan and his wife. Congratulations and may your marital life be blessed with joy, love and abundance always! Let's see what else shall we update? hmmm... oh V day came and went. I brought da woman to a nice tapas and grill restaurant called Bungalow. Lovely place, wonderful ambience and GREAT food. Loved the paella, every single grain of it! She enjoyed herself and I gots me a new wallet, and a new belt! First appointment for the flat too! Signed the contract and in abt a month's time... THE FLAT IS OURS! Something rather nasty did happen tho. On the day of signing, the current owners of the flat, an old couple, was to be there too... we were unfortunate to witness the breakdown of a marriage. The wife and her two sons came with lawyers to file for divorce. It is a sombre reminder for me and da woman to remember to cherish what we have. --- Here's a little project I'm starting on right now. I'm gonna work on a soundtrack for my wedding so that I can share my love for music. In no particular order, I will put up the songs here, with a little intro/review of the song and its lyrics. Here's song number one, since I happen to be listening to it today... I didn't know I was looking for Love Everything But The Girl I was alone thinking I was just fine I wasn’t looking for anyone to be mine I thought that love was just a fabrication A train that wouldn’t stop at my station Home, alone, that was my consignment Solitary confinement So when we met I was getting around you I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you [chorus] I didn’t know I was looking for love Until I found you (honey/baby) I didn’t know I was looking for love Until I found you (honey/baby) I didn’t know I was looking for loveI didn’t know I was looking for love Coz there we stood and I would oh I wonder could I say what I felt and not be misunderstood A thousand stars came into my system I never knew how much I had missed then Slap on the lap of my heart you landed I was coy but you made me candid And now the planets circle around you I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you [repeat chorus] So we build from here with love the foundation In a world were tears are consolation Now you’re here there’s a full brass band Playing in me like a wonderland And if you left I would be two foot small And every tear would be a waterfall Soundless, boundless I surround you I didn’t know I was looking for love until I found you ---- Isn't the song beautiful? I love the emotion it captures. The careful wonder and surprise of love found.
