Danielasings on YouTube

Danielasings has been on my YouTube subscription list for quite some time now. I first caught on when I came across her cover of Us Against the World. As a huge Coldplay fan, she really made a great impression. I can't help but feel a little emotional listening to her beautiful voice – just the right amount of huskiness, melancholy and clarity. Her singing just has a way to climb right through your heart, it's so special.

I especially enjoy 'Window Sessions' where she covers amazing songs with a guitar in hand, mic in front of her and the window to her side. A few worth mentioning are: Creep (Radiohead), Islands (The XX) and Youth (Daughter). 

She really does fit the bill for me in terms of a YouTube singer doing covers as powerhouse voices don't really do anything for me most of the times. Really enjoying her right now :)


Check her out at Danielasings.

UNDERSCORE NO.4/FLIGHT

I'm a bit of a magazine freak. I tend to buy them even when I'm too broke and too busy to actually read them. The recent proliferation in lifestyle-centric publications has burnt a huge hole in my pocket, but I'm more than happy with the new additions to the magazine scene!

After a year-long wait, local indie-lifestyle magazine UNDERSCORE finally released it's fourth issue, FLIGHT. Needless to say, I bought it immediately. It's been sitting on my table for more than a month and I still can't find the time to finish it in one sitting! I'm determined to delve in the pages soon. Especially when they look like this:

It's full of dreamy landscapes, unique places and interviews of people leading extraordinary lives from all over the world. This issue features a tightrope walker, a retired space shuttle, an abandoned flight runway and the creation of fireworks. It's a combination that fits just right with this issue's theme and it goes to show the attention the editorial team has in the curation of content. 

You know you have something good here when it is stocked in places far, far away (spotted UNDERSCORE no.3 in a bookstore in Amsterdam this July) and it blended in perfectly with the other international publications sitting on the same rack. Who says local has to be HDBs and Kopi-See?

Love,

Food for Thought?

Food for Thought (Botanic Gardens) is soon becoming my all time favourite brunch place. The pricing, location and space makes it for me.

This time around, my FYP (final-year project) group mates and I made our way there for a weekly Tuesday meeting.

September already??

Good old Banana Walnut Pancakes with Chantilly cream and Gula Melaka

It was cool to see the ever so fashionable Fitrina to grace our meeting with style and a flush of accessories.

She paired loads of different bracelets onto one hand and bold rings on both! I'm so glad that she's putting on one of the rings that I gave her for her birthday (skull ring) ;)

La Luna

How was your weekend?  We caught Brave on Saturday night and it was all things Pixar – googey, heartwarming fun that made the little kid in all of us shed a little tear. Compared to Pixar’s previous masterpieces, Brave tells a much lighter tale that leans heavily on being family-friendly. Before you dismiss the film entirely as a film too simple, we would recommend you to watch it for a totally irrelevant reason – La Luna - the feature short before the start of the actual film.

We’re not gonna spoil it for you, but we’ll give you a little hint of what it’s like. Imagine, the coalescence of a thousand honey stars into a single, glowing moon reflected in the curious eyes of a boy; simply put, La Luna combines the Little Prince, stars and moon rivers into five minutes of pure, breathtaking magic. 

We melted on the spot. 

A new week beckons and we hope you have a great one ahead!
