Sigh today went back to school and realised I haven't got a lot of things done. But still can;t get down to doing them..

Chinese review of the concert
http://omy.sg/showbiz/enews/200801/20080121_004_jay.html

Like the last 2 paragraphs:
演出整体来说相当成功，意义有两层。第一，当然是周董自己实力的展现；第二，就是近年来他转战电影，但还是证明了自己在音乐上的成就和人气。

毕竟周董，是周董事长的意思。正因为周杰伦懂得如何在乐坛做出精彩的事情，首席的地位才能坐得久、坐得长。

周杰伦演唱会08

哎哟！不错哦！周杰伦真的很忙，在台上也超忙的！不但要换七，八套服装，还得弹钢琴，弹吉他，弹古筝，击鼓，跳舞，扯铃，唱歌。。。。真的是太精彩了！我觉得我不是再看演唱会，而是在看周董表演，耍帅！

他不愧是亚洲小天王，每一个举手投足能得到大家的欢呼掌声。而我呢，光是看到他就已经high到不行，根本都没理会其他人！每次看演唱会都很失态，唉，不懂大姐的朋友有没有被我吓到。

不管了！豁出去了！霍霍霍霍霍霍霍霍！！！这是encore的时候大家都在喊的！哈哈。。。

我不能再写长篇大论了，因为还有很多事没做！值得一提的是他古筝真的是弹得很棒，扯铃时也是太帅了！跳“牛仔舞”（牛仔很忙）和“僵尸舞”（本草纲目）时也是太可爱，太棒了！弹钢琴就不用讲了。是有目共睹的帅。而他在和辣妹g共舞时的尴尬笑容真是太好笑了。。 哈哈。。南拳妈妈改编的不能说的秘密也很搞笑，什么“从安静到千里之外都用同一个和弦”。。。而那位女生拉的二胡也是很好听，太有feel了！

还好他有演唱几首脍炙人口的旧歌，如黑色幽默，安静，开不了口。可惜他没唱很多其他的歌曲，如我不配，青花瓷，回到过去，还有很多我喜欢的旧歌。奇怪的是我最讨厌的阳光宅男和甜甜的都让我很high!

觉得最美中不足的是他好像生病感冒了，所以影响到演唱功力。。。而且也太短了,11pm 就结束，太早了！

尽管如此，我还是觉得这场演唱会超赞的！杰伦真的是很用心，很卖力，而且服装造型都很好看，都很有视觉效果！我也觉得他的嘴巴很甜，不过没说太多话啦。。还逗我们，问我们要他几时再来开演唱会，明天还是明年，哈哈。。

Wa hope this year will be a good year for concerts.. hope sodagreen comes back!! before ah gong goes for army...

Looking forward to : JAy Chou this Saturday! =)

song recommendation

王菀之 - 学会
nice Mandarin song by Ivana, who's very popular in HK...never really listen to her songs, only know 我真的受伤了& 手望 or something..but this caught my attention. like the prechorus, the buildup to the chorus..

许茹芸 - 爱人动物
another nice song, by Valen, Xu RuYun who's back with a new album! lots of heavyweight songwriters too.. this song's by Qingfeng of sodagreen.. heehee

S.H.E. & 飛輪海- 新窩
and 1 more song. very catchy and cute, especially the MV, with lots of eye candy haha..

Wild Day Out 08 in Hong Kong

I so want to go~ Cheer Chen, sodagreen, Faith Yang...Those in Hong Kong now should really go to this concert. I guarantee + chop that it'll be worth it. Too bad... I'll be stuck in Singapore..

BRAVO!!

This little boy is AMAZING!! so skilful, so much feel, so relaxed and enjoying himself also.. just like a pro, put all of us to shame haha..

California Dreaming - Sungha Jung


Waltz - Sungha Jung


While my guitar gently weeps - Sungha Jung

HAPPY 2008!

HAPPY 2008! SO fast... 2007 has gone and 2008 is here... But life's still the same..

and recently, been busy watching COffee Prince - 咖啡王子1号店. really funny, interesting and cute. Although a wee bit draggy towards the middle. A bit like 花样少年少女, but less childish since the setting's not at school. Great cast as well! Yoon Eun Hye 尹恩惠 's really cute, and so natural in acting! heehee... the lead actor's also quite man. and the supporting actors very funny also...and the dog! Old English Sheepdog! so cute! Haha... and I like the OST, rather easy-listening and different from most Korean OSTs.. nice..

And Arco, whose 2 songs appeared in the OST, is actually a UK indie band! Interesting hehe.. their myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/arcomusic

僕たち いつかまた～ETERNITY - JOHN HOON

A must-buy for all Jeong Hoon fans - his first complete Japanese album! Includes his rendition of the famous Korean song "Parrot" from Goong.

僕たち いつかまた～ETERNITY - JOHN HOON

sodagreen's nice new songs

Just gotten sodagreen's album from HMV for 29.95! But it's worth it, cos it's so good.... and also, it was very cool that all 10 tracks seemed to be linked together, as there are no breaks between them. The transition / links were made very smooth by the ending and beginning instruments such as guitar linking 四季狂想 (track 3) & 左边(track 4) and the piano linking 左边 and 无与伦比的美丽 (track 5). They must have taken great pains to do such linking up of songs! This 3rd album has a lot more strings, and sounds much more grander than their previous albums.

苏打绿 - 左边


蘇打綠 這天MV

Prince charming!

Ahhh... this weekend was the best in 2007! Finally got to see my prince up close and personal. He's so good-looking, and kept smiling! so cute... heeheehee...the crowd was quite calm, maybe cos everyone too stunned by his charm. heeh...

Recently quite addicted to Facebook. Now I know y it's so popular. Cos it's quite fun heee...lots of applications and variety.

And pics of my lazy dogs..

苏打绿 - 无与伦比的美丽

天上風箏在天上飛 地上人兒在地上追
我若擔心我不能飛 我有你的草原

嘿 嘿 你形容我是這個世界上無與倫比的美麗
嘿 嘿 我知道你才是這世界上無與倫比的美麗

天上風箏在天上飛 地上人兒在地上追
你若擔心你不能飛 你有我的蝴蝶

嘿 嘿 你知道當你需要個夏天我會拼了命努力
嘿 嘿 我知道你會做我的掩護 當我是個逃兵

Simple lyrics, simple song (maybe not) but oh so nice....

p.s. my mum still can't believe he's a guy haha...

阿妹 - 我的天后！

Ooooohooooo!!

阿妹的演唱会超 high 的！五年没见，她的舞台魅力还是依然那么精彩，声音还是 那么的有爆发力！她真的是一个diva!!!

我隐约记得小六的时候就开始看演唱会，（对，我真的很幸运，年纪这么小就有机会看演唱会 - 而且都是姐姐赞助的喔！）第一场印象中应该是阿妹在新加坡的第一场演唱会。从那次以后，我就认定阿妹是我的偶像，我的最佳演绎具舞台魅力女歌手！从此，她在新加坡的每一场演唱会我都有去。（加上昨晚的，应该是有4场了吧！）还记得有一年是在国家体育场，从来没有亚洲艺人在新加坡体育场办过演唱会！虽然那次她好像蚂蚁一样小（因为坐很远！），但是我还是超享受的！

这十年来，她的每一张专辑我都几乎有。记得有段时间她被封杀，她的好伙伴与朋友张雨声过世，过后人气就下滑，专辑里的歌曲也没以前那么动听。。。经过许多起起落落和风波，她还是回来了，但也已经失去了当年的风姿，因为“天后级”的位子已给别人坐上了。尽管如此，她的每一场现场表演都能够证明她是台湾的天后，台湾的骄傲，是实至名归的。

又好像讲了太多了！现在就来说说昨晚的演唱会吧！

演唱会从8.20持续到将近凌晨12! 演唱会开始前，我跟大姐还在排队上厕所，后来听到大家的欢呼声，没想到演唱会这么早就要开始了！真的蛮好笑的，在排队的女生有些干脆不上厕所就跑回去了。。。

就象其他的演唱会，她从舞台中央的platform缓缓的升起，头上的“狮子头盔”show了一下就拿下来，就开始演唱新歌“永远的快乐”，这时候，全场已经热烈的欢呼！过后就唱了几首快歌，但我都不记得了，因为太开心。。。

她的头发剪到好短喔，但很好看！而且她一直拨弄头发，真好笑！可能不习惯吧。。。他的服装呢， 就每一件都是闪闪的，我都觉得很好看！那件红色星星的最特别！

这次的演唱会是四面台，大家都能看到很清楚。而且我很庆幸座位非常好，她也一直面向我们这边！可能是我们都很热情？？哈哈。。。我每次都觉得她在对着我唱！哈哈哈。。。

她演唱了很多经典歌曲，而且几乎每首歌都是大合唱，因为全场的观众都一起唱得很大声！记得，听海，原来你什么都不要，我恨我爱你，剪爱，真实，我要快乐，别在伤口洒盐，让每个人都心碎，蓝天，A级娱乐，了不起，high high high，发烧，火，bad boy,不顾一切，are you ready，牵手等等....新歌包括维多利亚的秘密，你爱我的，夏天的浪花，也当然少不了如果你也听说。我觉得这首歌她唱得最有感觉。。。本来我不喜欢“夏天的浪花”，因为觉得很台，但在演唱会上一起唱真的很好玩，尤其是副歌的部分，哈哈。。。

其中有一段是怀念张雨声的，她唱了“最爱的人上我最深”的另一个版本，还有对唱的版本，最后一句还和雨生合唱。。。她还清唱了“天天想你”。最喜欢的还是“后知后觉”， 超感人的！真让我听出耳油！可惜她没唱“没有烟抽的日子”。。。

最后一段，她只穿了黑t-shirt 配牛仔裤，现场秀了秀她的吉他功力，自弹自唱了“爱是唯一”和解脱。

encore的时候就唱了姐妹，三天三夜，给我感觉，我要飞。她还故意让每个音乐家唱一句“姐妹”，超好笑的！他们都超棒的，记得有一段Jamie Wilson 还躺在地上猛烈的刷电吉他！说到音乐家，大多数都是来自新加坡喔，好骄傲哦！吴庆龙又出现了，而且是音乐总监吧。。。太厉害了。。。阿妹就是特地要整他的，让他开金口唱一句。。。

好了，不写了，二姐在取笑我，说我很会编故事。这不是故事好不好，是我的真正感想。。。 哈哈哈。。。

期待她下一次再来！！！


photos taken by my sisters@! haha.... quite good ah!

and some videos taken.

Happy Deepavali! 等了好久的公共假期！

Presentation down, last dispensing practical down, still got 2CAs next week.. but don't care first....now looking forward to A-mei's concert!

And just received Jay's album. After resisting all those online listens, downloads etc... just prefer to listen ti the real thing haha.... however, no feeling at all, after the 1st "scan-through". Now giving it a 2nd listen.

I'm not happy with the recycling of the OST songs... although they are nice, but it just shows his insincerity.

Shall give a review soon...

Meanwhile, go view live performance of sodagreen's new song! Very clean-cut - just vocals with piano!
http://www.sodagreen.com.tw/main/weekly8.html

nice songs!

Today, these 2 songs kept playing in my head.

梁静茹 - 崇拜
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYdcNMdzOGk

作词：陈没 作曲：彭学斌 编曲：陈建骐

你的姿态 你的青睐 我存在在你的存在
你以为爱 就是被爱 你挥霍了我的崇拜

我活了 我爱了 我都不管了 心爱到疯了恨到酸了就好了
可能的 可以的 真的可惜了 幸福好不容易的怎么你却不敢了呢

我还以为我们能 不同于与别人
我还以为不可能的 不会不可能

风筝有风 海豚有海 我存在在我的存在
所以明白 所以离开 所以不再为爱而爱
自己存在 在你之外

I think the lyrics dam nice... and sad, but the last stanza gives the person strength.


潘嘉丽 - 完美的默契
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFMXIbHkuxY

Quite like the melody, especially the 编曲...

and this song caught my attention, cause I'm a 左撇子! haha... Interesting lyrics by 小寒 though! And this song seems to have a strong local flavour... Indeed! Composed by Tanya! ahaha...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iYvzJnZd5g

左撇子
作詞：小寒　作曲：蔡健雅　編曲／製作：Tlm Productions

寫給你　我自己　我用我左手潦草字跡　擁抱你
想和你　在一起　冷冰冰地思考邏輯　是多餘

＃感情的左撇子　愛你的我不理智
左邊的無名指　我渴望是　你最後　決定隱居的地址
左偏的心從此將我管制　不曾停止

找給你　我自己　我用不假思索的語氣　形容你
想要你　想要你溫習　兩個人最赤裸的情緒　別忘記

ANgry!

I usually don't like to complain, especially on this blog, since I try to use this blog to share what I like, what I'm happy about etc... but everytime I look at my new thumbdrive, I jsut had to think of it again...

I've seen one of human's ugly side on Wed. And it had to be from university students. I can't believe Uni students would still be so dishonest, after all the education they have been put through.

I left my thumbdrive in Central library after working on some stuff. And I lost it forever. Went back on Wed night to look for it, went to Lost and Found display cabinet but still no sign of my thumbdrive. Wasted time, money and sweat. I was utterly disappointed and angry at the same time.

NVm abt the thumbdrive. But the data inside. It was full of schoolwork, data and especially FYP data. The person who didn't hand it over to librarians or lost and found counter and decide to use the thumbdrive as his/her own, YOU ARE INHUMAN! what if the original owner didn't had a backup??? then all hard work gone?? sickening man.... why can't just pass over to lost and found counter.... u want thumbdrive, go get your own la! shit man...

OK i promised myself to get over it.. luckily i had backup. if not i sure cry until faint.... better backup in more places - CDRom, hard disk, thumbdrive, online storage... must be more kiasu

good man...

林倛玉, aka, 林毅心. He's dam good! His voice, his talent, everything.... hehe....

梦飞船 on a previously-aired music show in Sg. They sang 天天好心情，等着你回来 and 不值得 (my fav & a lot of other people's fave) . Dam good la! Why they disband... so wasted...think they came out at the wrong time...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g29ELXwpPSE

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!

周杰伦 - 彩虹(Jay Chou - Rainbow/Cai Hong) w/LYRICS



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.

KT Tunstall - Black Horse And The Cherry Tree


KT Tunstall If Only Acoustic


Other Side of the World MV



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:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockatoo

and finally a squirrel pic. so cute! haha..

梁静茹 品冠 - Way back into Love 回到爱 mv


Somehow I prefer 梁静茹's duets with 品冠. Somehow their voices sound better together, in my opinion la, as compared to 光良. Ahya but the song below's very nice also... haha....梁静茹's songs all nice la!

梁静茹 光良 - 只能抱着你
