random thoughts

School has started for only a week, and already I'm dozing off in lectures... sigh...

Jay's new album is going to be released in beginning of September, but I don't have very high expectations... cos he's so busy with his movies and all, and it's not even a year from his last album.

I watched an interesting documentary on Animal Planet, and it was about monks in Thailand living with tame tigers. Really a compassionate monk. He said that we and the tigers and the animals have the same blood, which is red. But how many humans can think that way?? Humans always think that they are superior to animals.

Anyway, here's a link to their website.

I watched another documentary on crocodiles, and it talked of how the croc numbers dwindled because of excessive killing for their skin, and then the same crocodile hunters are now trying to protect the crocs, and I don't think it's truly because they feel guilty, but because they won't have enough crocs to kill in time to come..

Anyway, David Tao's( 陶吉吉 haha) album is not too bad. Typical "陶式情歌" & typical David Tao's mid-tempo/RnB-ish songs. Maybe not his best, but there are nice songs inside. Easy-listening. I especially recommend "Olia". Very soothing. Beautiful."Walk On" & "追" 's nice too. Feel great listening to these mid-tempo songs. The song with Jolin sucks though. Can't stand it.

FIR's new album: Hmm I didn't really like it after a few listenings. I don't know why. Maybe cos I haven't listened enough.But some songs like 雨樱花， 1234567 & 你很爱他 are worth listening to.

On the contrary, I would highly recommend Tong En (同恩)，Rebecca Tong's new album, 不准哭. This is her 2nd album. In her first album, she had a rock-chick, full of attitude kind of image. In this 2nd album, she shed her super-cool image for a quieter, introspective feel. But her vocals are still the same - super powerful and strong. The songs are not the usual mainstream ballads, but are rather different. I first heard "不准哭" through the fantastic headphones in HMV, and I loved the song so much! It's so heart-wrenching, & I think it's reverse phsychology, cos it does make you feel like crying..."一下下" was written by Eric Ng & Xiaohan, so needless to say, it's another great, soothing song. Anyway, I thought almost all the songs sound good. I also liked 爱伤的提琴手，不懂 & 相爱, which she sang a duet with Van Fan, 范逸臣。
