updates?

Oooohooo! Jay's 2nd 主打歌!According to jc.net, it's actually a song, First Kiss from the Secret OST. 为什么我没有印象嘞?But I think it's so unlike Jay also...It sounds very familiar, but can't recall anyone or any song. Definitely not Jay-ish to me...hmmmm... but nice...the rap in the middle is Jay already. Yay... haha...

But please I hope he doesn't recycle all the tunes from the Secret OST! That would show that he's very insincere!

And while youtubing his song, found this song also from Secret OST, and the cute singer is rumoured to be with Jay. Ahyo, so pretty and cute, Jay 会被电到吧?哈哈。。。

周杰伦词曲主阵 江语晨《晴天娃娃》

Ahya might as well 一次过 post what stuff I've found these few days. Kept seeing her name appear, didn't know who she was nor heard her songs, so I youtube-ed her name la, and now thinks she's dam cool.... She's not exactly pretty, but she has that kind of "sei", the style, attitude. And her voice's warm and strong. I like! She's KT Tunstall, a Scottish singer-songwriter.

And I think the kind of looping system she often uses in her live performance is dam cool la. Suaku me didn't know such stuff existed.

Oh then ah, today when I was on the bus, I saw something that is usually not seen one in Singapore. There was this man who kept bending down when standing, I thought he has some muscle weakness or something, or that he fell asleep, but it wasn't. It was a conscious effort in the bending. Then a few people, a girl, and a beng-looking man, and me of course, kept looking at him. The girl, like me, was smiling to ourselves, cos don't know what he was doing. Maybe he was exercising or something. Then finally, the beng-looking man asked if he was OK, and he said it was cos of his foot or something. (I was listening to music, didn't hear their conversation.) But then later they actually had a friendly conversation. hahha...it's quite rare for me lor, this sight. Everyday, when we board the bus or MRT, everyone looks so glum and are so abosrbed in their own world. When would you see strangers striking up a conversation? haha...then they even "grabbed hands", like best buddy like that haha... so cute...and secondly, the beng-looking man isn't that beng afterall... do not judge a book by its cover.

K la, better get back to proper work...

SO many things happened today... good and bad ba...

early morning had driving, and my driving is rubbishly horrible! sigh sure fail one la...

then had a mini potluck with my friends in sch ahhaha...

then finally i thought ending of the day returning to the lab was a bore, but I actually saw 2-3 cockatoos outside the lab, in the trees! COuld tell that they were cockatoos cos of their crest. But it wasn't yellow... seemed white...I wonder if they escaped from the birdpark... but my friend and i were saying Jurong birdpark quite far lei... ahah.... it was quite a sight, from the Pharmaceutics lab, my friend and I observed it for about 10min and stopped doing our stuff ahhaha...

then there was another squirrel which wanted to steal 1 of the bird's food. that bird seemed to be grasping onto an orange, and it was diligently peeling away. I don't know if I saw correctly, cos it's quite far away la... but quite interesting ah ha...then I think there was also another crow? But 2 against 1, the crow eventually flew away.

here's a pic of a white / umbrella cockatoo! not taken by me of course! i was too far away.
link on wikipedia:
and finally a squirrel pic. so cute! haha..

梁静茹 品冠 - Way back into Love 回到爱 mv

hAHA... Was waiting for the 首播 when doing experiment in lab. I kept laughing to myself when I first listened! It's super hilarious. After reading the lyrics, it's even funnier la... trust them to come up with such a song.... it's soo soo different... I like it, but I may grow tired of it, I don';t know... but can't wait for his album!

呜啦啦啦 火车笛 随著奔腾的马蹄 小妹妹吹著口琴 夕阳下美了剪影

我用子弹写日记 介绍完了风景 接下来换介绍我自己


我虽然是个牛仔 在酒吧只点牛奶 為什麼不喝啤酒 因為啤酒伤身体

很多人不长眼睛 嚣张都靠武器 赤手空拳就缩成蚂蚁


不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了 不用麻烦不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了

你们一起上 我在赶时间 每天决斗观眾都累了 英雄也累了


不用麻烦了 不用麻烦了 副歌不长你们有几个 一起上好了

正义呼唤我 美女需要我 牛仔很忙的


我啦啦啦骑毛驴 因為马跨不上去 洗澡都洗泡泡浴 因為可以玩玩具

我有颗善良的心 都只穿假牛皮 喔跌倒时尽量不压草皮


枪口它没长眼睛 我曾经答应上帝 除非是万不得已 我尽量射橡皮筋

老闆先来杯奶昔 要逃命前请你 顺便餵餵我那隻小毛驴

不够。。。

Ah..... Still can't get enough of 绮贞。。。She's so pretty!!!

View her photos my mypaper.com.sg here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mypaper/sets/72157602223665037/

A link to a review on omy.sg: http://www.omy.sg/showbiz/enews/200710/20071001_001_cheer.html

View a vodcast + some live performance here:

I so agree with the journalist - her voice's so sweet and almost child-like, but yet you can sense the strength and resilience in her voice. hehehe...

So far, all reviews I've seen are good heheheh.....

Cheer Chen - my angel of music!

After the night of escapism, I had to return to reality to finish my assignment before school starts again! Sigh...

But, it was magical, mystical, almost heavenly, and pure enjoyment, happiness and fun!

When she opened with the guitar-only 九份的咖啡店, I felt as if it was an ANGEL on stage. Her voice, her costume, her image, the stage setting, everything was just so angelic.


She sang a couple of slow songs, of which some I wasn't too familiar with. The acoustic version of 躺在你的衣柜 & 就算全世界与我为敌 was refreshing. I thought it was a pity she didn't sing the original version of 躺在你的衣柜 . Then slowly, and rock came as the band fell in - the accordian, the guitar, the drums...

Her only English song, Sentimental Kills was as cool as she was when she donned a red mask. Can't remember the repertoire of songs, but she also sang a French song, following which she sang 一起去巴黎. Didn't hear it before, but it's nice!

The crowd went high when she paraded round the audience in a "float" while singing 女明星. My friend and I just rushed to the front but got shoved by the security guards. I only managed to catch a glimpse of her and her beautiful red hair...

After that, it was high all the way when she sang a series of rock and familiar songs - 躺在你的衣柜 in its original version! Didn't expect her to sing it twice. Her favourite song?? haha.. and 让我想一想,华丽的冒险 etc.

Then of course there was 告诉我,还是会寂寞,小步舞曲,80% 完美的日子,腐朽,静静的生活,我的骄傲无可救药,温室花朵。。。。

旅行的意义 was so touching - don't know why... then some die-hard fans really brought along their helmets - so funny! It was beautiful - the whole song, and the whole atmosphere.

The climax and hype and fun of the whole thing actually lies in the encore - as there was not 1, not 2, but 5 encores!!! How exciting is that! Most people just didn't bear to leave, even after the bossa nova music came on, and credits rolled. So we just kept cheering and clapping while she kept appearing on stage and just sang, since she said 不太会讲话. So everyone just rushed to the front, stood on the
chairs and swayed along with the music. I waited until my favourite 太聪明 came. And After 17.. very nice... and some other songs which I don't recognise, but were equally good.

We finally left only when people came on stage to pack up... still so reluctant...

Cheer's such an angel - both her voice and herself are angelic and serene. Her music is an ode to life and being able to live life peacefully.

She's so soft-spoken, and shy, I think there were less than 5 min of talking throughout the whole show, only singing, but that's all right. Cos the music could bring across what she feels - her passion for music, life, love and everything else beautiful. The fact that she love summer shows her passion for and optimism in life. Her music's just so relaxing and peaceful and serene, we are allowed to leave behind the mundanity and problems in life and escape into her world.

It was so true when she said that we are really lucky to be able to be present to relax and immerse ourselves in the music while others are probably engaged in battles of life.

She's such a humble, sentimental and lovely, talented lady! I really feel her oozing with charm, intelligence and beauty. Zhong Chenghu, her boyfriend's really lucky.

她是一个多么有内涵的气质音乐人啊! 陈绮贞 - 我的音乐天使!

Check out a video of her singing 失败者的飞翔 - 超感人!

A PIECE OF SUMMER, A PIECE OF CHEER!!!
