Starbucks

Starbucks is a name everyone knows. I admit I've always wanted to try Starbucks, but being frugal I always only looked at its price and then turned away. But now that I'm earning a decent monthly salary and am not good in spending at anything else, I thought I should treat myself slightly better by indulging in the food and drinks offered by Starbucks. I wanted to make A CBTL card in Singapore but Starbucks card in Malaysia, because I go JB quite often and there are Starbucks in my hometown but not CBTL, but then CBTL has no branches around where I currently stay in Singapore and its benefits don't appeal to me so I just made purchased one Starbucks card in Singapore instead. Ya, the prices in Singapore, if converted to MYR, are all higher, but affordable in SGD. My first cup in Singapore was the iced mocha, which was decent. My favourite so far is still the green tea latte. Unfortunately Starbucks in most outlets are often too crowded for me to find a place to seat, but luckily living in a suburban area and having a suburban outlet allows me one fine outlet where I get to sit and sip. Anyway, I am looking forward to trying all beverages as I can. I was very nifty with what I spent - because I had no financial independence. Now that I have, I guess I should allow myself to relax and enjoy. I deserve this.

Avicii - SOS ft. Aloe Blacc

Hi guys, yes it has been a while since I last updated but I really am swamped with many stuffs recently.

I just came back from work at 10pm, and this routine is getting tiring.

When I was working today, I heard a song that instantly became an earworm. It has been a while since a song like this caught my attention, and upon listening with a closer examination, there was a hint of Avicii in it.

And indeed there is, because Avicii wrote this song. This is an Avicii song released posthumously.

I liked Avicii's songs. I had only two artists whom I admire, and Avicii was one of them. His death was rather devastating for me and I listened to his songs for days and sometimes with tears. But it was time to move on and I stopped following updates about news pertaining to his death as I believed such obsession was what led him to take his own life.

So I genuinely did not know his studio was releasing an album dedicated for him. I knew a song would be released but I never expected it would be an album.

Anyway, this song, like many of Avicii's song, is just catchy and amazing. I love his songs, and I really wish he could be alive and continue to deliver awesome songs for years to come.

Your death is sorely remembered. I would always remember you as an artist that truly shines. An artist that truly is talented.

Your death reminds me people around me may have mental difficulties that is hidden by multiple layers of masks. Your death continues to remind me to appreciate everyone around me, and I continue to do so as far as I am still breathing.

Thank you Avicii, for bringing a light to my life today while I was busy with my work, even though you are now blissfully residing in heaven.
