Jay Chou
has:
1) a soulful, soothing, melting, impactful, SPECIAL voice
2) immense talent in composing: a) melodies,tunes b) lyrics
3) convincing acting abilities. i dont care what everyone else says, i think he acts well.
4) creative mv directing abilities
5) good looks, dress sense style
But most of all…
6) a CHARACTER. diao, neversaydie against anything((:, persistence, stubborn in a good way, impenetrable to certain kinds of comments… but at the same time high EQ with friends and most ppl, humorous, light, optimistic, cheerful front, humility, tingeofshyness… i can go on forever.
Idols are supposed to inspire, right?
i just want number 6.
TANKDABEST
so mingte sent me the whole of Tank's album, and it's so super nice. of course it can't be compared to jay, but for a newcomer it's damndamn good already. and it's the best album of recent times.
and oh, either the music authorities in singapore really suck or they're taking bribes. or maybe everybody has no taste in music
like for example, jianrui told me this afternoon tht jay didnt qualify for this yr's jin qu jiang!!!!!!! like how is that possible. November's Chopin is the best album he ever composed so far imo, and it didnt get in??? it's bloody impossible la. and ppl like david tao got into 6? come on man. COME ON MAN. leehom's better than david tao, but he only qualified for ONE. what is this world turning into. HENCE I CONCLUDE. that there must be sth going inside. sth is definitely tweaked.
next, tank didnt get best newcomer! like wtf??? in the music charts i saw everywhere on the web his songs are ranked first for dunno how many consecutive weeks. he has a lot of talent and a lot of good songs. then jianrui told me tongen and a few other weird names got in??? its totally unreasonable man.
yes933 charts also sucks nowadays. the songs that are ranked are all nonsense. where are the real talents??! where are the good songs??? i think i'm gonna migrate to taiwan man. or hongkong. not china (hahaha).
had two teeth plucked today. the injection was rather painful. and when the numb wore off it was hell of a time man. but painkillers did the job so it was okay. but i'm not going to sch tmr since the guy gave me an mc. and there're no impt lessons tmr. and theres history and eng. both of which = sian. and besides i can't talk now. so no point (:
tuesday is makeup holiday for polling day. wed theres sch. thurs theres sports meet and proed night. friday vesak day. saturday fly fly bye bye. i'm actually looking forward to chiang mai, hahaha. but hope i can eat over there, my tongue keeps flying towards the empty holes in my mouth. and the blood keeps coming out.
nvm, dont care. i'll stone at home tmr. and go kbox on tues if my mouth can work.
BYE (:
shin
mmm i like shin. by shin i mean 信乐团.
their style is very much different from the normal slow sad songs i like.
ah, i dunno. the songs are really very nice.
one little problem is, whenever i listen to them i feel like jumping up and punching sth and screaming.
i currently like 死了都要爱 a lot.
haha.
自我催眠
omg. i so love 自我催眠!
its been quite a long time since i last listened to it. but anyway, got stuck to it once i heard it again. the lyrics are so damn nice can. the tune rocks too. but no surprise since its jay who wrote it(: three cheers to xiaozhu(((:
人群里面那个我把幸福遗落
那曾经走过的路口我停了你却走
我想捂住我的耳朵听不见你说
爱就在此刻松手分手放手
我猜不透不猜透
和你背对背的走
原来怪我没有
没有爱情的天分你才要走
我想要学会自我催眠
痛觉会少一些
潜意识作祟想着想到失眠
我躺在没有你的房间
寂寞更加明显
我渐渐的自我催眠
却回不到从前
等着红灯那个我还会向前走
也许那幸福的执着在下一个路口
专属铃声我还留着却静静沉默
在我们之间爱了放了散了
我会不说不想说
怕说了也没有用
现在我的幽默
只是掩饰着心痛我的难过
我想要学会自我催眠
痛觉会少一些
潜意识作祟想着想到失眠
我躺在没有你的房间
寂寞更加明显
我渐渐的自我催眠
却回不到从前
我想要学会自我催眠
聪明再多一些
潜意识作祟想着想到失眠
我走在没有你的世界
却走不到永远
我渐渐的自我催眠
慢慢闭上双眼
ROCKS RIGHT.
music appreciation
screw it man. i have like tons of work to do but here i am lazing away.
escapism. jijo’s hrp topic worrrrrrr.
ya i think i’ll get a sore throat soon.
ate a piece of white choco and a dark one.
meng drink water(:
okok.
inspired by chaiyi’s (not bp) recent post, i happily decided to rate my favourite songs as well.
no surprise, like 99.9999 percent’s gonna be jay.
for 2005, i’ve liked (in order of preference):
1) ye qu – jay
2) hei se mao yi – jay
3) shan hu hai – jay
4) feng – jay
5) fa ru xue – jay
6) yi lu xiang bei – jay
7) tian hui – s.h.e
bu zuo ni peng you – s.h.e
9) xiao shi – nan quan ma ma
10) zui hou yi mei xiao rong – nan quan ma ma
11) yuan lai – nan quan ma ma
12) zi wo cui mian – xiao zhu
13) tong hua – guang liang (LOL)
shit man. i can’t think of more.
this effectively shows how the quality of mandopop has degraded over the past few years.
eason chan, elva hsiao, jolin tsai, even leehom (never david tao), and idol groups like f4 and 5566. ya dont laugh they had nice songs okay. the few of my favourite singers or groups are up there though. other than jay, nan quan ma ma and s.h.e have always managed to touch me(:
i think i forgot most of my favourite songs though. feel super tempted to copy and paste my entire jay playlist here. but on 2nd thought, too many la. on avg i have 5 favourite songs every album. so 6 x 5 = 30 plus all the eps. ahh.
oh yeah but i can’t resist the temptation so i shall just mention a few that even after years of listening, never seem to get tired of them. woo:)
1) ban dao tie he from eighth dimension
2) shi jie mo ri LIVE from fantasy plus
3) fen lie from eighth dimension
4) qi li xiang from qi li xiang -.-
5) an hao from eighth dimension
6) yi fu zhi ming from ye hui mei
7) hui dao guo qu from eighth dimension
zui hou de zhan yi from eighth dimension
9) gui ji from xun zhao zhou jie lun ep
10) hei se you mo from jay
11) fan fang xiang de zhong from jay
12) zhi zhan zhi shang from qi li xiang
13) qing tian from qi li xiang
14) ge qian from qi li xiang
15) yuan you hui from qi li xiang
for now, thats about it =)

Bye 2005
just reached home from dinner at bt panjang plaza. bought a few pens for sch. and a packet of m&ms. (:
you might have noticed that the white bands across the left and right hand corners of the page are gone. i’m tired of having to type my own blogger.com on the address bar because the dumb band covers the icon. and some ppl said they couldnt access my taggie? mmm.
went to kap supposedly to mug ystd. ended up talking again laa, duh. omg theres only 2 more days left and i hvn finished macbeth. and theres lit the first day too. hope laurang’ll be in a good mood.
listening to the album bu xiang zhang da again. haha dont ask me why. i just like SHE’s voices =) and their slow songs. although this album has no jay production inside. came across one of xiaxue’s blogs today,
http://xiaxuethegeek.blogspot.com/2004/10/what-kind-of-music-do-you-like-wendy.html
go read this particular entry ppl. its about mandopop and public opinions of it. its a pretty mature and insightful piece i think. not just because she keeps praising jay. (lol) its really good la, just read.
omg man i can’t believe almost 2 mths has past since the hols started. i know this qsn is really cliche and all, but… WHY DOES TIME PASS SO FAST?????
i hvn enjoyed enough of the slack lifestyle of the hols. and the past few wks of spending more time with friends didnt exactly help.
today is 31st of dec, the last day of year 2005.
come to think of it, this yr isnt exactly a successful one.
i broke a lot of personal records haha.
first time i fail tests,
first time i copy work; maths sumore lol.
first time i got an msg of more than 3.5 — in term 2.
first time i missed so many trainings at one go — early this yr.
first time i went kap to study. (LOL)
first time i disappointed myself and a tchr that much… lit exam.
…
more la, but i forgot.
but stuff i’ll never regret.
joining hp,
going to uk,
joining the sabbatical i like instead of those FOR ACE — compere search.
and more too.
—————-
but on the whole, i think this year is a failure for me too.
i didnt put in my fullest effort at all. i could have finished work if i truly wanted to, but i was lazy. gave a freaking load of excuses for myself; hp bla bla.
second, i let a lot of chances slip past me. hp offered so much, but i didnt grab any of em i guess.
might post my new year resolutions tmr or the day after, see first.
come to think of it, next year has a lot to offer.
i really must provide the motivation and force to propel me forward this coming year.
happy new year in 2.5 hours time (:
good luck all.
