POTC 3 : AT WORLD'S END

Just watched it last night! I didn't think it was as bad as reviews made it to be. It was just pure entertainment and fun. The CG effects were great, the sets and scenes were wonderful, the plot was rather exciting (albeit a little confusing to me ), the cast was excellent! Sao Feng, Captain Barbosa,Davy Jones, Elizabeth & Will, the undead monkey and the dog that returned, the funny Pintel & Ragetti and of course not forgetting, the loony and hilarious Captain Jack Sparrow! Poor Captain had all the signs of schizo.. auditory hallucinations, delusions, thought disorder etc etc...peanuts...haha..

I got confused with all the betrayal and bargain etc etc.. I'm too slow la.. but after reading forums and sites online, everything was clear. Actually Davy Jones was quite pitiful...the tear he shed and the sad song he played on the organ.. and the betrayal by Calypso..sigh.. it was fun too to see the banters and squabbles between the 2 captains.. haha...

& here are some quotes I found memorable (from imdb.com)
Jack Sparrow: You know, for pirates, we sure are an unimaginative lot at naming things.
Jack Sparrow: I once sailed with a man that had lost both his arms and part of his eye.
Gibbs: What did you call him?
Jack Sparrow: [pause] Larry

Close your eyes and pretend it's all a bad dream. That's how I get by.

The world is still the same just less in it.

shoot him, cut out his tongue, then shoot his tongue

Elizabeth Swann: This is madness.
Jack Sparrow: This is politics.

I leave you people alone for just a minute and look what happens. Everything's gone to pot!

And that was without a single drop of rum!

Found some vids on youtube. BTW love the OST too. Very suitable for the music. The "He's a Pirate" theme that kept running from the 1st instalment to the last, nice!

有没有人要陪我去看？？

Anyone wants to watch Soda Green's concert? heehee..

樱桃帮's back with a new album! I thought it was too fast haha... Wasn't too impressed.. was disappointed...I think I prefer the 1st album. The songs left a much deeper impression on me. Especially songs like 清新早晨, 秘密花园, 蚀月 etc...
E
Listen to the 1st album here!

Listen to the 2nd album here!

Anyway, been busy with attachment. 2 weeks down, 4 more weeks to go! Quite enjoyed it la, although rather tired and legs are aching. Furthermore it's near to my home, so very convenient hehe..Learnt a lot and realised that what I studied at NUS was actually important! But there are lots more to be learnt hehe....Everyone's very nice over there too! Hee..

I realised once I start working, it's hard to keep up to music! Don't even listen to radio often now... can't be as updated as when I am schooling. Better enjoy the last year of school...can't imagine working, and for the rest of my life... and the 9 months of pre-reg.. wa 想到就一点怕了。。。

Travis!

Wa damn sian... Why do I always fall sick during holidays... so these few days have been just watching TV, video and sleeping half the day away! Sigh.. Everytime like that, then can't meet my friends for potluck.. sigh..

Anyway, Travis has a new album coming up! Or is it released already.. don't know..but I like Travis - Scottish band. Feels very comfortable listening to their songs, don't know why.

Preview their new songs here!

Here's a video of their new song, CLoser, with a cameo by Ben Stiller haha..



Found another video, and it's an interesting cover of the song, Hit Me Baby One More Time!

And another clip, of them busking!Cute hee...

More songs

Woohoo woohoo!! It's finally over! hehe... watched some TV and now am here!

New song new song! And gasp! Angela ZHang and Soda Green! Quite surprised when I saw on forum that they had a song together! 蓝眼睛。。。both their voices are so distinct and unique, but it sounds quite cool! I think Angela's voice is too overpowering haha..It seems a reversal of roles hah..Tell me what you think of this song!Oh it's on repeat now haha...it just needs some getting used to.

Here's the link to preview!

And as for English songs, I only recently heard them on radio, as I went radio-switching again..I heard the DJ gushing over him haha.. And heard that he was on American Idol before.. Daughtry. Very man haha.. Seriously! His voice is as man as he is haha.

Daughtry - Home (Acoustic)

It's Not Over (Live)

Have You Ever Loved a Woman on AI In this vid, it seems that singing when lying down can help train to sing from diaphragm? haha. Can never do that...

平平仄仄平平仄

Woohoo! 3 down, 2 more to go! New MV to add ehhe... SHE's new song, with a mixture of 中国风，绕口令 & 嘻哈. Hmmm, my friend who's a huge SHE fan, said she doesn't like this song. I'm OK, but made me think a bit. OK I know they're like doing it cos everyone's doing it now - 中国风 & 嘻哈, 为了迎合市场。But when everyone's rapping and hip-hopping, how can we forget 绕口令, the Chinese tongue-twisters? The tonation, the rhyming, the "scrambling of characters" that give different meanings but yet sound great when linked up... Yeah..

S.H.E 中国话MV


扁担宽 板凳长 扁担想绑在板凳上
板凳不让扁担绑在板凳上
扁担偏要绑在板凳上
板凳偏偏不让扁担绑在那板凳上
到底扁担宽还是板凳长
哥哥弟弟坡前坐 坡上卧著一只鹅
坡下流著一条河
哥哥说宽宽的河 弟弟说白白的鹅
鹅要过河河要渡鹅
不知是那鹅过河 还是河渡鹅

an "eventful" reading week.. but.. consequences??

There's so much to talk about, but I can't stay long... I think this reading week is the "most eventful" of all, and I'm sure the results will tell...I'm not even close to 50% done.. how...

In this 1 reading week, I passed my driving BTT, and watched Phantom of the Opera. Gosh... can't believe it...

Phantom was amazing.. now then I'm feeling it.. can't get enough of Phantom's voice haha...don't mind watching it again you know..although don't quite understand some parts, but it was an enchanting experience. Will talk about it aGAIN after my exams haha..

Here's a link for more info. Friend, can go read haha...

And really shocked by the American Uni killing.. so scary....One South Korean said, if the society had shown more care and concern for such people.. but then again... sigh... the professor who tried to block him off... really brave..

I think ar I better get back to my studies.. I;'m so dead...

new MV

孙燕姿-咕叽咕叽

Interesting song la... wa quite surprised with the middle/interlude portion haha..And gosh the rap... reminds me of the Fergie lo.. weird ha..

And who's this Lollipop.. 棒棒糖。。。

五月天 摩托車日記 MV


Yay finally found this MV! Like this song a lot! The guitars, the banjo, and there's this 12-stringed guitar, don't know what it is but sounds cool (heard this instrument on the keyboard ahha..) all sounds great hahaha..

飛輪海-爱到

This's not a new song, and I know they can't sing, but it's catchy haha..

Lifehouse - Blind


An English song haha.. Not new either.. but bought Lifehouse's album the other time cos I thought it's good, and it's good!

sorry for taking up your loading time / bandwidth...too bored....

So fun!

Wa laos... exams in less than 2 weeks' time, but still slacking away... today had a last CA, but last night still went out.. to support my 二姐 at 爱琴海 hehe... so fun! I think they did really well lo... but as usual, the perfectionist thinks it can be better. My friend says that musicians are like that - perfectionist haha...


And so 巧, we actually got to see Geraldine, the campus Superstar's performance with her friend! Cool! haha... They were great! Young, but good! We even took a pic with them hehehe...aiya but I felt so extra in the pic... like 路人甲 like that..

Really nothing much to update, except that I think Stefanie's new album 逆光's quite nice! Never bought her albums before, cos never liked her before. But don't know why this time I quite enjoyed this album. Cos of the "Egypt" hype? Na... should leave it behind already haha.. But I was impressed with the song 逆光. Great song, interesting lyrics and Stefanie sung it very well too. Other songs which left an impression on me are 安宁，咕叽咕叽，梦游，我怀念的 关于。Do visit Chinesemusicblog for a review on this album!

ok la i better go study liao..

song hunting again!

哈！Finally... in 4 scooldays, I have had 4 tests! & I made a super stupid mistake in today's! Can't believe myself... probably need to study primary school again..

Anyway, went song hunting on youtube again! Hope I'm not "taking up" too much of your bandwidth bcos of the numerous videos here! haha.. but that's the only way to recommend songs ma..

2 versions of a very K song! TANKS'S 非你莫属! I was told by my friend that it was written by him for 林依晨 initially, but he sang it too and put it into his own album aha... which version is better again? I think this time I prefer Tank's version hehe...比较有味道！

Yuna Ito? Jacky Cheung?

oh! so this is Yuna Ito! Didn't know who she is, but keep seeing people talking about her on forums. She's so pretty la, and has a pretty voice too! Pretty but powerful vocals... so blessed aye..

So the 1st song below, is the original Japanese version of Saya's 想念你的歌 . Which is better? I think both are equally good! And the 2nd song, I kept seeing the MV on TV, & kept wondering who's this pretty girl? So it's her...Oh the band also looks so cool lo.. haha. Think they're called REIRA? At first I thought REIRA was her name la.. ignorant me..

Yuna Ito - Endless Story (Theme Song of Japanese movie Nana)

Saya 想念你的歌


& 张学友's gonna have 3 SHOWS for his concert this July in Singapore! 3 SHOWS@! 13 Jul - 15 Jul 2007 ！ GOSH....歌神就是歌神！好厉害哦！

张智成 - 另一把好声音

今天让我来练习一下中文吧！

刚刚在电视上看到张智成当了“快乐星期天”的神秘嘉宾和现场的演唱。很喜欢他的声音和歌曲，而且很欣赏他的转音！可惜他暂时不会出唱片，因为他跑去当DJ了!真是可惜！

两年前跟朋友一起去看了他的校园演唱会，“验证”了他的歌唱实力 - 他真的不是盖的！而且又很搞笑，讲话还有马来西亚腔，很可爱！那次的校园演唱会让我重新认识到现在稀有的一把好嗓子！

上次在广播听到这首歌时，我放下了手边的工作，默默地听，因为实在太动听了！哈哈。。。

痊愈 - 张智成 Z Chen


希望他还会在唱歌，出专辑！

apa kabar?

Phew! Yet another week of test and project is over! Had our Bahasa Indonesia Cultural Night last night! Quite fun, although had a bit of work to do, and could not walk in the tight costume! The food was nice, like the Tauhu Asli, pisang goreng etc. The singing group was funny, the kulintang people were cool, and the aungklung made me recall my primary school days! The costumes were all very beautiful, the picture taken is with our "Padang bride" haha.. Looks like Chinese wedding costume to me heehee

Ooo have you heard of the news? That Dongli 88.3 FM is going to have a huge revamp! They are now going to play a mixture of English and Chinese songs... wonder how it will turn out! But right now, until 12/3 I think, they have no DJs and no adverts except for the "敬请留意三月十二日” advert so it's Chinese songs all the way! Quite cool..

And now I've caught on the Hana Kimi fever, 秀一好可爱！起初我以为吴尊最 帅，可是现在比较喜欢汪东城了！他表情超丰富的，演戏不错，他一出现我都会想笑，而且觉得他越看越帅， 哈哈！

So here's an MV which he acted with Melody!

Tank-给我你的爱


Speaking of Tank, I think his songs has lots of hooks. Like 专署天使, 给我你的爱. Quite a talented young lad too!

finally something to update!

haha finally I have someting to update. Went to the Impresario 07 Finals last night, and enjoyed myself! Especially with the fantastic performers/ singers, the hilarious hosts/emcees, the "sang sang jik gi goot" beatboxer and I was most surprised by 张韶涵 Angela Zhang's live performance!

Ooo there's actually a youtube link! Very effecient uploading aye! haha..

watch it here!

I actually liked her when she released her first album! I still remembered I was listening to her album in HMV, and I thought, man I must buy this (but not frmm HMV la haha).I was amazed by the then 20-year-old small-sized pretty lass who had such powerful lungs and clear and strong voice. But subsequently, with songs such as Mama Mama and Pandora, I was irritated by her sharp and act-cute or I thought weird voice and didn't like her. But after last night's live, Woooooo my perception of her turned 180degrees again haha...

I thought her live was much better than her CD, as I could not hear the "sharpness" as present in Meng Li Hua in the album version. Her voice has lots of 穿透力 in my opinion and powerful and well-controlled! Now I know why she won a Best singer or most popular singer award or something haha..

Ok topic change! I think when people keep complaining about pet owners cleaning after their pets, some humans must learn to lcean after themselves too。 Literally, especially in toilets! Experiences of defecating-matter-stained toilet bowls can tell you that. And littering. The pamphlet-flooded-escalator and walkways at the linkway leading to Suntec yesterday..... terrible sight....

新年快乐，万事如意！

Happy Pig Year! 新年快乐，万事如意！ Some photos taken at home, of beautiful flowers!

Maremma!!

Have been wanting to "research" on this dog breed after watching Hana Kimi, now I finally can get down to doing it!

So this dog is a Maremaner, or Maremma Sheepdog !

"The Maremma Sheepdog is a massive, noble distinctive-looking dog with a bear-like head. "

Indeed! My first impression of it! It truly resembles a white bear, and it must be so nice to cuddle and hug!

The Maremma originates from Italy its name comes from the grazing plains in southern Tuscany. It is the best known of the Italian sheepdogs, but rare in places outside Italy. It is a flock-guarding dog.

Woohoo!

Woo... so fast, mid-sem break is here, again! I thought school just started?? Hmmm... It always passes very fast.. 1st year wasn't so fast lei.. sigh..

As usual, as I channel-surf & switch to my fav MTV Channel, saw BoA's MV, Brand New Beat. I have never taken notice of her, I know she's super popular, and she's younger than me, and she's a Korean singing Japanese songs, that's all .. After watching that MV, I finally know why. She's not only a pretty , cute little lass, but can dance super well and has a strong voice. Her dance moves are slick and cool, her smile's to die for, her youthfulness and energy.. ha ha.. so here's the MV I saw.. anyone, care to recommend more songs from her?

BoA〃Brand new beat


And as I search youtube for "BoA", I don't know why this video came up. I thought it was sung by BoA, but no, by a Korean singer, MAy. Hmmm still prefer FIR's version much much more ha!

MV May ----- Lydia ( korean version)

Jeong Hoon's new song!

Oh my gosh new song! He's releasing a new Japanese single end of this month... so soon...

Kim Jeong Hoon Sad Song MV [06.02.2007]

February's here!

五月天-一千个世纪



Yay new MV finally haha... Wow Mayday's back with a new album! And this album seems well-conceptualised? haha.. about 爱`生`死 etc haha... oh etc in Bahasa Indonesia is dll haha... "dan lain lain" so cute..

Bahasa Indonesia's really quite fun and interesting. Actually I think learning languages is really fun. It's really amazing how people can communicate in so many different different types of languages..

But I hope I won't get mixed up! I have always felt that Indonesian/ Malay's a little similar to Japanese haha... the other time said "Saya WA..." ooopss.. "saya" is in Bahasa Indonesia, while WA is for Japanese! haha..

Oh today, I don't know why 心血来潮 decided to bring my dog out for a walk, after so long. I am a truly lazy master - very pai seh, never bring them out for walks one.. Then notti View View barked at a chickem. barked at a baby... sigh...As I could only bring 1 dog, Brownie was so sad when I leashed View and not him..and as we left the house, he barked non-stop sigh...

So fast week 4 has ended, homework's all coming in..But can't wait for CNY hehe..

random, real random

Aiya random thoughts la!

Firstly, apologies to my friends to have to cancel the session... am having test next week, only found out on thursday.. sigh.. and the tutorial, and the practical reports, and the project...sian... CNY we play k?? got 1 week break lor heee...

And why are we so kiasu people?? Registration starts at 3pm, but at 3.15, half of the 15 groups are full already!! Sad....

And congratulations to you who is getting nearer and nearer to your dream! Ganbatte! I'm sure you can make it! But just have to work real hard...

And Happy Birthday to Marat Safin~ haha...Happy belated Birthday to Kim Jeong Hoon too!

plus some random photos I took when I was studying for exams last year haha...
