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...

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:

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

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

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！

That's a picture of what I have been working with, and breathing in... from China one lei.. for the past 1-2 weeks have been milling/ grinding them down - so much dust breathed in! a bit worried... but since it's a herb, should be beneficial? haha i don't know lei..

范玮琪 - 哲学家


温岚 - 傻瓜

樱桃帮－你爱我吗


no video - just a preview of their new song - F.I.R. - 月牙湾http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzoIGzsl7AQ

Anyway, just had a CA this afternoon, and it was horrible. Hope can pass... Anyway, I learnt that time management's truly very important in final year, especially with FYP. It's so scary..

Talking about scary, the tremors yesterday were really scary... For the first time in my life, I actually felt the earth and myself shake - I thought I was dizzy, but it really shook! It was such a small tremor here and already I felt so scared with goosebumps popping up, I really can't imagine how the people at the scene itself felt... I feel that recently there has been lots of natural disasters... very scary...

ah!

Woohoo! can't wait for sodagreen's 3rd album!!!

click here!
http://www.sodagreen.com.tw/main/weekly2.html

btw this is my 100th post! wow have come a long way ahhaha..

relax time!

Taking a break from my FYP research proposal...

After ranting on and on about Jay and his talent, it's only fair that I share with you the talents of others haha..

Jay Chou- Ke Ai Nu Ren (Piano Version)


Ju Hua Tai (Jay Chou) Cover for Cello and Piano


Change of genre haha/..

Irish Flute + Tin Whistle & Guitar


If you've got time, check out other videos of Tinwhistler. He and his brother are so cool!

不能说的秘密 - 赞！！！

I'm so tired I want to sleep, but I just had to blog about this before I forget tomorrow.

Anyway, I am super impressed with Jay after watching Secret. 你没看错。我这个超级杰伦迷到今天才去看<不能说的秘密>!

观看前，还以为这个赚钱赚到手酸的大明星对于当导演只是三分钟热度。观看后，又再次的对他倾慕，觉得他真的是很有天分，而且是个天才。不论他当歌手，当创作人，当钢琴手，当吉他手，当饶舌歌手，当导演，当演员，当狗仔队的头号目标，当南拳妈妈的师兄，当魔术师，当耍帅的艺人，当孝顺的儿子和孙子，各个角色都能扮演得很好。可能是因为他的处世态度吧。当他决定要做一件事时，就会很认真，尽心尽力的把它做到最好。可能他也是个完美主义者吧。

Spoilers below! For those who haven't watched Secret, (slower than me ones), go watch go watch, and be awed by Jay ! hahahaha...

Anyways, I love Secret! The little romantic antics, the witty dialogues, the funny expressions, the beautiful settings, the old antique piano, the trees etc etc..

The cast is excellent. Gui Lunmei is a very elegant and pretty lead character, 很有气质, and she successfully portrayed the character as a mysterious girl, whom even I want to know her better aha... and she';s so natural. She looks good even without thick makeup. I must applaud Jay for having such good choice, in choosing girls haha..

As for Jay, I heard that his acting improved. And I do think that it did! He looks much more natural here than in "黄金甲". Maybe cos different genre, and this is his own film that's y. Also, there seems to be more expressions from him now - the mischievous, cheeky look, the sad face (omg I especially love the very last scene - when he had a bit of tears. reminded me of 开不了口' MV haha..), the flustered, scared look....

I love the fact that Jay incorporated music into the movie - how the whole movie revolves around music. His dad in the movie even commented that people who don't listen to music are bad kids. This sounded very familiar, as I remember Jay once said that music is good, and usually those who listen to music are good kids.. haha..

It is also very heartwarming to see that his house is full of music - the racks and racks of CDs, the guitar hanging on the wall, the piano, even his dad is into music.

It was also very romantic that the couple got together because of their love for music, and the times where they enjoy music together.

I especially love the piano duel scenes, not only because of Jay and Yuhao's superb piano skills, but also because the way some scenes were shot. Such as the zooming in and spanning across of the piano inside, the wood and hammers and the whole mechanics of piano playing. I felt that it was really cool!

I was totally surprised in the later half of the movie. At first I thought 小雨 was a ghost! But it turned out otherwise, and it turned out to be very unbelievable. I immediately thought if Lake House...The thought of 2 lovers being separated by time and space - it was so heart-wrenching! Especially the scribbling part... and when 小雨tells her part, everything falls into perspective and it just gets sadder....

I like the way he fills up the bits and pieces in when 小雨tells her part. It made the story feel fuller and more complete. Otherwise, it would have just been a typical, cliched romance film.

However the scene where he was furiously playing the piano away while the walls & chandelier come tumbling down, it was a little exagerated. But yet I think it showed the turmoil and anxiousness and eagerness of him to finish playing the "key" piece.

The last twist at the end was yet another surprise. But my sis and I were saying, what about the poor dad? haha..

I think some may say the whole thing is so illogical and not understandable, but again like Lake House, it is precisely this irrationality and "twisted logic" that makes it nice. Don't have to think so much, why like that, why go back bla bla bla..

And I lvoe the OST. Regretted not buying it earler. See la now everywhere also sold out, even HMV! sigh...
