YOU NEED TO WATCH IT. do not be lazy and not click on it.

she took Les Miserables I Dreamed a Dream, and made it her own.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

haha my jaw literally dropped when she started singing.
talk about cynical. talk about superficiality.
within that 3 minutes, she gained the respect of thousands of people across the world.

maybe dreams do come true =)

Support ScrawlBooks!

Hi people, I'm sorry I waited all this while to finally start posting; I'm really not artistic at all so it's hard for me to come up with something to contribute to this place :| but, I have a super artistic classmate whom you all know, Wendy!

Wendy has started her own blogshop, ScrawlBooks, selling charming handmade notebooks. Here are some of my personal favourites:



- From the tanned collection





- From the fabric collection.

These notebooks are hand made and only a very limited number of notebooks are made for each design (in fact, most designs are one-of-a-kind!) Wendy is in fact running a one-man show, but you wouldn't be able to tell just by looking at the blogshop. She's doing an amazing job, so please do support her by purchasing one of these beautiful notebooks for yourself or contributing to ScrawlArt (this is such a fantastic idea; one artsy blog should help out another!) or simply drop by and leave some feedback or encouragement on her tagboard.

It's not easy to start up a business, no matter how small, so please help her keep this going or maybe even grow it into a bigger business! Then years from now we can all say, you know Wendy the designer who makes those awesome intricate handmade notebooks? I knew her when she was just starting out! :D

And KIM, please be inspired by this to start your art shop soon too okay! :)

Out of a 100, I recognise about 42 individuals. Tried to look for the Dalai Lama but he was nowhere to be found.

Then I remembered it was painted by the Chinese.

The Cinematic Orchestra feat. Fontabella Bass

"It's music for the eye, not the ear." Pianist Murray Perahia

I was on a forum trying to find the 'world's hardest piano piece'.

Came across this:























A forum user: That is not music, that is art.


Jokes aside (although as an art piece, it really is very refreshing), you wouldn't want to play Conlon Nancarrow's Tango?
Trust me. Looks can be deceiving.
