Got quite a lot of things to blog about today, lets begin with realizing that the date and time on my blog is wrong. I've noticed the time was wrong but I couldn't be botherer but now I don't know why my dat is wrong also so I'm gonna post the date at the bottom of every post.

Next is the three new CDs I got. They are Dreamgirls The Original Soundtrack, The Wreckers and Mario Vazquez. Fisrt up, the Dreamgirls Soungtrack.

The Dreamgirls Soundtrack is very nice, it has that '60s '70s Motown feel to it and the songs are great. The actors/singers bring out the soul of the song; you wanna move to the up beat songs and cry listening to the ballads. Speaking of ballads, the bit of this CD which is totally worth my $21.95 is that Jennifer Hudson who plays Effie White is one of them singing in the soundtrack. Her voice is simply beautiful and soulful, no matter if it's her up beat "I Love You I Do" or her heart-reanching "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going", it's simply DEVINE!! She has such a huge voice that she can totally nail those high high notes, and if you listen to "It's All Over" you can hear that she is a FANTASTIC actress as well and if you can tell that by listening, imagine watching her, she totally deserve that Golden Globe she won. She makes Beyonce seem like a small fry (and I'm sorry for saying that but it's true). I'm totally gonna watch Dreamgirls when it come out on 22nd FEB, if not it's to watch Jennifer Hudson. I don't think I need to tell you which are my favorite songs on the album huh. Well here's a pic of the cover.

Second is The Wreckers album Stand Still, Look Pretty. The Wreckers are Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp; you should know who Michelle Branch is. Stand Still, Look Pretty is also a great album; Jessica Harp's and Michelle Branch's voices harmonize like two birds in spring, beautifully. The album is a good blend of Pop and Country, another great harmony. Lyrics are beautiful and somehow catchy, but it's not your usual Pop kinda catchy. They have songs you can sing along too and songs which are very lyrical. First single "Leave the Pieces" was beautifully written and catchy enough to keep you listening. The first 7 songs have a Pop element to it so it's easy to listen too, after that they get more Country and it won't sound like what you here on the radio, but still great to listen. Title song "Stand Still, Look Pretty" gets you into the more country sound but still you wanna sing along to it and the lyrics to me is the best on the album, though it's only bout 2 min 45 sec long. So my favorite songs are "Leave the Pieces", "Tennessee" and "Stand Still, Look Pretty". Here's the cover.

Lastly but surly not the least is Mario Vazquez. I got his album a few weeks ago but never had time to post an entry on it, plus my laptop broke down remember?? Ok so Mario Vazquez, he's the guy who dropped out of American Idol Season 3 remember, but I'm glad he did, coz I don't think his album would sound like it dose if he had continued or won it. His album mixes a blend of Soul, RnB and Latin sounds which actually is very nice. He has a very soulful but also a little raspy voice which is unique and works to his advantage. His First Single "Gallery" melts hearts with its lyrics and Mario's voice, it was release much earlier so I think you have listen to it before and agree with me. And he doesn’t stop there, songs like "One Shot" and "Just a Friend" will also totally melt you with its lyrics and of coz Mario's voice. He ups the beats a little to songs like "I Bet" and "Everytime I..." and he'll make you move to his dncefloor hits like "Cohiba" and "She's Got Me". And I have to say that there is some thing 'bout South Americans that I just can't resist, heeheehee, and nor will you, if you need proof just find me and I'll convince you. Favs on the album are "Gallery", "One Shot", "Everytime I..." and "I Bet". Here's the cover.

Ok on the next topic. Last week I joined a contest for Prison Break AND I WON!!!!! I won two tics to watch the premiere of the Prison Break season finale at The Cathay. And I tell you I got totally high after the whole experience. If you feel very excited and always on the edge of you seats everytime when you’re watching it at home, IMAGINE IT ON A BIG SCREEN, PLUS SUROUND SOUND. When all you see and hear is Prison Break, you feel like your a part of the whole thing, it's a totally trippin and different experience, I still have not shaken off this high I have yet. Oh and did I mention I'm gonna be on TV, heeheehee, I was one of the interviewed after the show and I was so excited!! AHAAHAHA, one of the reasons I'm as high as I am. I'm pretty sure I'll be on and I think it'll air 2mr after the ep of Prison Break. Be sure to catch ah!! heeheehee. I got a pic of the stub. Limited Edition can't be bought anywhere, heehee.

And now to my finale topic, I went to my lecturer Brian Gothong Tan's "Signs Omens and Relics of Faith" interactive multi-channel video installation (long ar) today and it'll be to much work to type out how I felt 'bout it so I'm not gonna. If you want you can find me and I'll tell you. In short it makes really you think and I feel it's very interesting, so kudos to you Brian, I really like it. I hope you can show some support, it's at 72-13 Mohamed Sultan Road so you can pop by if you're going to ZOUK or Clark Quae coz it's quite near. It's till this Sun 4th of Feb.

Ok I'm off, got to do Brian's homework, heeheehee, have not started, haahaha....., sorry Brian, don't worry I will finish it. BYE!!!

[31th JAN]

Untittled Poem

Mesmerized by ur lovely eyes

Captivated by tat sincere smile

Fell for ur great personality

Torn apart tat I may nv be wit u

YES I got my laptop back.... but the sad thing is, I lost all my files inside, damn man, what a shity feeling. At least I can surf the net again....heehee.

You know this few days without my laptop I was so bored at home, after watching TV I would return to my room and sit there and wonder what I shd do, then I would give up thinking and go to sleep, when it's like 12 when I normally sleep at 1 plus 2. Now I've reallize I'm really acddicted to my laptop, though I keep telling myself I'm not, I've become one of the many "Internet Zombies" AHAAHA!!!!!!!!!! The harsh fact of reality, lol.

My school's holding It's open house these three days, 25th to 27th of JAN. It's wierd to see others from secondry school, when just last year I graduated and entered NAFA. I can't wait for the orientation for the new batch of "freshies" though, wanna see if they put them through the same humiliation as us, heeheehee. I hope they do, muhaahaha!!!

Yes it's good to have my laptop back! I feel so alive again..... ahaaha!!

And the weekend is here!! yea time to go out :) ok blog another time, Bye!

I apologies for my previous post and not been updating my blog. 2007 was not that kind to me, lets see I broke my phone, my laptop is down(I'm useing my school's com rite now) and I droped my Student Pass AND my bus pass...... yes it's been quite bad.

But things are looking up, SOMEONE RETURNED MY STUDENT AND BUS PASS!!! I was so happy now I dont have to remake a student pass. I still have to remake my bus pass though coz I cancled it last week. And my laptop will be ready in one or two days. And I got a new hair cut and color, AHAAHA.......ok thats all......shall blog after I get my com back :)

Four songs I'm listning to which is currently on repeat for a few days now

The Way You Look at Me


Leave The Pieces


Come What May


Powerless (Say What You Want)


Two kind of new songs which was realeas last year, then two from few years back. Sometimes you forget how much you love a song in the first place, then you go back and take another listen again and all the reasons comes pouring back. That's what happen when I listen to Come What May again(but the video is only half of what is on the original soundtrack though), I remembered how much I loved the movie and the song. Then the song Powerless, I found this other video version of powerless which I kind of prefer, seems very indie. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------

Went to watch my friend on The Dance Floor yesterday. The Dance Floor was.......intresting........thats all I can say... Ahaaha I was so tired after screming and shouthing my lungs out cheering for him lol. Be sure to look out for him on the 15 of feb. voting cost 60 cents each... so I won't blame you for not voting but maybe try to vote once??? heehee :)

Ok so it's the start of my tutorial week and kind of dreading it. have to go back on tuse and wed this week, oh well. and I've not started on my homework either. damn.

not much happen this past week, was "layz-ing" at home all day. but I did went out and got IL DIVO's new CD Siempre and gwad is it great, I never thought I would like classical opera, but IL DIVO is like a whole other league. I decided to give IL DIVO a try and got their 2nd album Ancora before and I'm a fan ever since. never understand a word they are singing though, but I'd always get Goosebumps every time I here it.

OK on to more serious stuff. SO LISTEN UP!

as you can see on the side of my blog you see a new segment (though there's three new ones I've added) called "Causes to Support" and they are links to different organizations that I support. most of it are campaigns to help fight the AIDS pandemic in this world.

It all started with ALDO Youtaids campaign, then ONE which is the new tagline (or word) for Make Poverty History campaign and M.A.C cosmetics AIDS fund. And this year I've added a new organization started by Bono from U2 called (RED) which I think is a very fresh and new concept campaign. Then you see GAP (PRODUCT) RED, apple i-pod (PRODUCT) RED and so on which are companies that are a partner in the (RED) campaign. For more information on how you can help please click on the links.

to motivate you more here are some facts about AIDS and worldwide

1. Over 40 million people are living with AIDS worldwide
2. Almost half of the all the adults with AIDS or HIV are woman
3. About 14 000 people contract AIDS or HIV everyday
4. About 3 million people die of AIDS every year
5. Then bout another 5 million contract AIDS or HIV every year
6. More then half of all newly infections occur among the ages of 15 and 24
7. AIDS kills one child every minute
8. Most newly infected people aren’t aware that they have AIDS

And the worst thing is, there is still no cure for AIDS unless found early, so what we can do is spread the word and educate people and we can donate what seems a little amount of money to send live saving drugs to support the AIDS pandemic in Africa. Even if you can't fork out money, all you have to do is lend your voice and spared the word.

I sincerely hope you lend a hand in helping to prevent AIDS in this world.

Blogger is being a HUGE #@*&%* coz I can't up-load the pics for my last post...... but I can for this post............

But in any case, I don't know what came over me, decided to clean up my room yesterday, seriously I don't know what came over me......... but come to think of it I'm actually a little OCD and a perfectionist, I like everything neat, tidy, and perfect. But I guess I’m just lazy.

Ok so I got some before and after shots..

This is before...

and this is after.......

I guess looking at my clean room now makes all the snaffles and tissue I've wasted worth while.

AND I woke up to a sore throat and a aching back........feel like $@*%^!?$&%

ok FUCK off....... : )

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Wow, a year has just come and gone. It seems like just yesterday I started NAFA, and now I have spent half a year in there.
Lots of people told me that 2006 was a bad year for them, I find it one of the best, I have really open up more to people and I'm less shy. You won't believe how quiet I was in Pri and Sec school.....I was damn shy.....and I put on like 9kg!! Then I drop another 4 when I entered NAFA..... must be all the stress..... So now I'm 55kg (I was 49!! when I came out of sec 4)... trying to get to 60, or at least gain back that 4kg I've lost.....

Well that’s all in the past, all last year's news, and its strange referring yesterday as last year.... OK so LAST YEAR!..(which is only four days ago) I went to watch The Curse of the Golden Flower and the next day Night at The Museum, both grate shows but I won't go into detail coz like I said, it's all last year. Then on Sat when to one of my friends dance competition and he won 2nd!! CONGRETS!! and again I won't go into details... but here's a pic after the win....he's the guy in white

Went to watch the fireworks display at Marina Bay... was nice but not as good as last year, this year it was only bout 8 mins long compared to last year's 15 mins. I think coz they sent too much on last year display that they need to cut down this year.....heehee......here are some pictures

Taking this pictures with the digi cam that I have make me think that maybe I should have gotten my Digital SLR 1st then the pictures wont look this bad...

OK 2007, time to make New Year's resolutions... I know I tell people that I don't make resolutions coz I won't keep them...... so treat them as things I wanna achieve for myself no matter if its the New Year or anything...

K so

1. Be More of "Me" : I wanna be more me and not try to follow what others do. Have my own Opinions in things and stick to it and not be easily swayed by others.
2. To Have More Faith In Myself : To trust myself more, follow what my heart says and go with it. Stand up for what I believe in.
3. To Be More Open : To try and open up to people and not be shy.
4. SPEAK LOUDER!!! : Yes to speak up, I do feel sometimes I speak to soft.
5. To Be Proud of Who I Am : Be proud of who I am, Asian, with color in my skin.... I'm opinionative and straight forward, I don't give a damn if you think I'm different. I will never be that Big, Rough, Macho, Manly Man you see on TV... DEAL WITH IT!!

Yes the 5 things I wanna achieve.

And there are other thing I'd want to do....My To Do List of 2007.....

• Get a new hair cut and color
• Update my Friendster, Myspace and blog
• and I would like to Private my Friendster and Myspace Profiles but this is not confirmed yet.

Yes much to do this new year...

Ok I'm off to cook for my mother...She's having this BBQ for the RC.... I'm making Pasta.......not looking forward to it though....shall not say more...

OK HAVE A HAPPY 2007!! BYE!
