Lyrics & Translation

[English]

how's life recently?

I had no idea what to film this week

I thought why not share this cozy day with you

We finally got some rain here in Singapore

These windows are my favourite

It lets me get up close to the rain

Something about the rain brings an instant sense of peace

Setting the mood

My growing vinyl collection

Like my furniture, I try to thrift them

Thanks to JBL, I’ve picked up this new hobby

a rather expensive one :')

Though I’ve always wanted a vinyl record setup

I’ve always been drawn to analog stuff

Now, its time for coffee

I enjoy making espresso as much as I do drinking it

Its like therapy

It might seem like a lot of effort for just a cup of coffee

But honestly, that's part of the fun!

One of the best scent in the world: freshly ground coffee beans

Nothing beats that first sip

Now, to the spot where I spend 70% of my time

It's video editing day,

so I'm using the Apple display

Burning this incense stick I picked up in Bali

Currently editing an IG reel for a brand

I could spend hours here easy

But this time, the IG reel was done quite quickly

and the rain has stopped

Gonna read for a bit

Completed the first series of this book

And of course, reading it in the Eames corner!

Time to head out

I was quite excited for this one

Mainly because Aesop’s events are always so on point

This event is to mark the release of their newest fragrance

This was held at AIR CCC, a relatively new restaurant I’ve been wanting to visit

The food is so on point

It might sound a bit odd, but the food actually went really well with the new fragrance

Couldn't think of a better venue for this launch

An evening to celebrate Aesop's Partnership with Singapore night festival

First thought that came to mind: my Akari E back home

Truly breathtaking

Featuring their various scents in each installation

Aesop does it once again

A short night routine on how I wind down

No.1 tip for cozy vibes: soft lighting and good music

Not forgetting, good candles

You'll see why I'm obsessed with lamps

I never use my ceiling lights

Back to the work station for some minor work

How do you guys usually wind down?

For me, I need to get all my work stuff sorted before I can relax

Time to have some tea

Having tea at night just hits different

Loving this red ginger tea I picked up in Bali

The wind-down officially begins now

Getting some fresh air

Staring aimlessy brings me peace somehow

I'm going to watch some netflix

Re-watching prison break

Do recommend some good shows!

Or what's on your watchlist lately?

Replying to comments before I call it a night

So I guess this is it
