For The Win Singapore

Just launched a new site last night. It’s mainly going to be a site that showcases inspirational videos of Singapore.

We all go to work, go home to family, think about going for a holiday only to realise that holidays might not have hit the spot.

There are many things we can do that is out of our routine. Things that make us feel alive. Things that others in Singapore have already done and are enjoying immensely on a regular basis.

The teacher that rides a horse on the weekends, the guy that cycles about 100km every week, the office girl that brings her longboard to work and the audio equipment salesman that has his own shop with a full racing track hosting remote control car races every other evening for neighborhood kids.

What inspires you? I hope some of the wonderful videos on FTW.sg will.

What do you love? What motivates you daily to take on the challenge of tomorrow? What makes you try and try again without the slightest clue of when you will ever succeed?

Passion.
Enthusiasm.
Commitment.
Conviction.

These are just letters strung together and called words.

What do you have to show for what you love? But then again, why is there a need to show anything for what you truly love.

This video Freeling really captures this love very well.

Enjoy.

Love Story cover by Clié Pan

Love Story (Cover)
originally by Taylor Swift

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don’t go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet ’cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

‘Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
I was begging you please don’t go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you

If you love Instagram, you’ll love Cinemagram. Its a very easy to use app to create Cinemagraphs. Animated Gifs is all popular once again. I believe it was made popular by this set of Cinemagraphs in 2011.

These are some that I made today and I believe more will come eventually.
