Yep, this is my very first song on iTunes! :D I'm really happy and excited about it! You guys don't have to buy it (you can download it for free above), it's just me trying to fulfil a tiny dream of mine. That said, if you really like it though, I wouldn't mind if you buy it. ;) Here's the link.
I can't even begin to say how much I miss you
Every little thing that she does reminds me of you
How am I supposed to find another when I've already found you?
A simple word a smiley face a tweet or just your presence
Ignites a fire in my heart I need to let you know
I guess that we've never really started on the right note
But now I'm sitting here with all these thoughts in me
And oh
Didn't really wanna let you go
I couldn't face myself for days you know
But amidst all that
You have moved on, moved on
Didn't really wanna let you down
Your tears they make no sound
Yet the pain I feel
You have moved on, moved on
I've decided to reopen this blog! Haha! Yeah, despite having no readers, oh well. I'll just write for my own pleasure! :D
Do check out the mix tape tab above! It's a collection of my works in 2011, some (or all, LOL) are pretty rough, as they are just demos or works-in-progress! Yupp!
Meanwhile, I'll still be posting my works here, whenever I get the time to write something!
+Okay! So recently I've just been obsessed with Supra sneakers! They are just so cool and the designs and colours are superb! They're just a little pricey!
+I'm going to see Taylor Swift tomorrow! After waiting for years! YAY I can hardly wait. She really has been such an inspiration to me. Not to mention being super cute, pretty and adorable. ;)
+I love this version of the song! Sorry about the soft vocals at the front part, I should really invest in a USB mic. ;)
Love The Way You Lie (Part II)
On the first page of our story
The future seemed so bright
Then this thing turned out so evil
I don't know why I'm still surprised
Even angels have their wicked schemes
And you take that to new extremes
But you'll always be my hero
Even though you've lost your mind
[Chorus]
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's all right because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's all right because I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
Ohhh, I love the way you lie
Now there's gravel in our voices
Glass is shattered from the fight
In this tug of war, you'll always win
Even when I'm right
'Cause you feed me fables from your hand
With violent words and empty threats
And it's sick that all these battles
Are what keeps me satisfied
[Chorus]
So maybe I'm a masochist
I try to run but I don't wanna ever leave
Til the walls are goin' up
In smoke with all our memories
[Chorus]
+Thanks for watching! :D Do subscribe and follow me on twitter!
+It's been such a long time since I've posted here! Just wanna let everyone know that this blog is not dead yet! :D
+So what have I been up to lately? Nothing much, except for my FOC which just ended last weekend. Tiring is the one word to describe it. I would give the camp an overall of 70/100, as I feel that certain areas can be improved on. That said, it was enjoyable and I made a lot of new friends so I can't wait for school to start now!
Vega! Vega! Number 1!
+Oh, and recently I have been watching Mad Men, and I think it's really good. It's set in the 60's, and the story is about the people in an ad agency and their private lives. The writing is so detailed, the actors are so believable and the set and wardrobe is just impeccable. Everyone should watch it! The fourth season has just started airing in the US, and it has garnered some really positive reviews! Watch it if you can! :D
+Now to show off my sexahhh new toy, my iPad! It's such a hot commodity now in Singapore and I'm really glad I could get my hands on one! Thanks Ashley!
+By the way, this whole post was created on the iPad, you wouldn't believe how easy it is to type on it. ;)
+I love Britney and Gaga, and this demo was leaked yesterday! Apparently Gaga wrote this song for Britney, but she rejected it somehow. Oh man wouldn't it be great if Britney actually did use this song in her album? Listen to it here at PerezHilton.com!
+Anyway, I made an album art for those who wish to download it to itunes! :D Britney Spears "Telephone" album art, using the latest Candies photo!
+I really love this sexy scene from GLEE! This was from the Madonna episode and it's about 2 pairs of High School students and their teachers trying to lose "the Big V", as they call it. Not together of course. Watch it, it's really fun!
Like A Virgin Madonna
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
Didn't know how lost I was
Until I found you
I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and new
Chorus:
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mine
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can last
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was scared and cold
(chorus)
Oooh, oooh, oooh
You're so fine and you're mine
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide
(chorus)
Like a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin
Feels so good inside
When you hold me, and your heart beats, and you love me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, baby
Can't you hear my heart beat
For the very first time?
Waking up I see that everything is ok The first time in my life and now it's so great Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed I think about the little things that make life great I wouldn't change a thing about it This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
I found a place so safe, not a single tear The first time in my life and now it's so clear Feel calm I belong, I'm so happy here It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere I wouldn't change a thing about it This is the best feeling
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming It's the happiness inside that you're feeling It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's the state of bliss you think you're dreaming It's the happiness inside that you're feeling It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry
It's so beautiful it makes you want to cry
This innocence is brilliant, it makes you want to cry This innocence is brilliance, please don't go away Cause I need you now And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
This innocence is brilliant, I hope that it will stay This moment is perfect, please don't go away, I need you now And I'll hold on to it, don't you let it pass you by
+New albums galore! But it seems like we are seeing double this month, here I have 3 pair of albums, that share some similarities with each other! But of course there are differences also! Let's take a look!
#1 Adam Lambert - For Your Entertainment VS Kris Allen - Self-titled Album
+Okay other than both being from the Idol Alumni, there aren't any other similarities between these two albums at all!
+Adam's album first. Isn't he supposed to be a glam rocker? (See album cover above, LOL.) Then how come this album sounds more pop than rock? Here's what I think of the album. The first half of the album is pop, and the second half is more rock. Haha! But it's true! And the cover art is erm...should I say...erm attention grabbing?Not in a good way. LOL. That said, Adam delivers each and every song flawlessly, hitting all the unbelievably high notes effortlessly. The best track in the album has to be the theme of the movie 2012 (which received mixed reviews, the movie, I mean), Time for Miracles.
+Kris' next! This self-titled album is so smooth, I have no idea how to classify it! It's not rock, but it's not pop either. So what it's called? Anyone knows? LOL! Anyway, his voice is truly clean and smooth and if you have grown sick of Heartless, try No Boundaries, or if you have grown sick of that too, try Live Like We're Dying!
#2 Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster VS Rihanna - Rated R
+What's so similar between these two albums, you ask? The album art DUH. I think they hired the SAME creative director and graphic designer, and they ran out of ideas for new album art designs. Look at the covers! Both are in grayscale, emo, dark and guess what - same kind of make-up. So now they have got the same make-up artist as well? LOL! +That said, the musical style is very different in both albums. Lady Gaga is more pop and dance, and Rihanna has graduated from the dance beats of Umbrella and Don't Stop the Music to R&B and more soulful songs like Russian Roulette and Photographs (feat. will.I.am), very much like Take A Bow. I love Russian Roulette! It's the kind of song that grows on you the more you listen to it!
+Lady Gaga, meanwhile, has stuck to her pop and dance hits formula which has proved to work, propelling her to super-stardom. The hit single Bad Romance gets stuck in your head after one listen, in a good way of course! And she proves she has the singing chops in Speechless, a ballad. Lady Gaga's The Fame Monster also has a deluxe edition, where in the package, among other things, contains a lock of her own hair. How crazy is that!
Here's a video showing just how crazy she is! A very recent performance at the American Music Awards 09, singing Bad Romance and Speechless, where she sets her piano on fire. Literally.
#3 萧敬腾 - Love Moments 爱的时刻自选辑 VS 方炯镔 - 坏人.情歌.遗憾
+Alright there are so many similarities between these 2 albums I don't know where to begin! LOL! First of all, both singers are male, newbies in the industry, and this album is a collection of covers of songs they like. And they did covers of ALL female songs. Yes, both of them. Coincidence? Hmm. Oh yes, they both chose 1 张惠妹 and 孙燕姿 song to cover in their album. Not the same songs, of course, that would be really freaky. Haha.
+Okay song choice wise, I would prefer Jam's album. But in terms of bringing a new life to the song, I think neither of them has done really well. Erm, the albums get boring after a while? Because the music arrangement from song to song sounds the same! Especially A-Bin's album.
+I like both their voices! Both put a lot of emotion into singing and you can hear it. Best song in Jam's Album would be 我怀念的, 新不了情 is just disappointing, he lost the 爆发力 of the competitions in the studios, and best song in A-Bin's album would be 天黑黑. No, I'm not being biased towards Yanzi, just because I'm a fan, but it's true! Go and listen and you'll know! Haha!
BEST WEEKEND FINDS!
The Taylor Swift's Holiday Collection +I can't get enough of Taylor Swift! This album released in 2006/7 just made me very happy! =))) Featuring White Christmas and Silent Night! Erm country style? Haha!
Spongebob's Greatest Hits +Who can resist Spongebob and his nonsensical songs?! Haha! In this Greatest Hits collection, favourites like The Goofy Goober Song, The Campfire Song Song and F.U.N Song are included!
AND UNTIL NEXT TIME -
+The Dancing Diva article is proving harder than it is to write! But I'll do it up! =)))
+It's been so long since I last blogged! Hello everyone, do continue to support this blog! =)))
+So what have I been up to since I came back? Listening to good music of course! There have so many good albums recently and I must really recommend a few. Oh, before I continue, I must annouce to the world that I have moved over to the MAC side!
The new MacBook 13"! With the same(or even better) specs as the MBPro and costing about $500 cheaper, this notebook is a killer deal. So now I'm blogging from my mac and loving it!
+Alright, enough of that, the first album that I highly recommend is 林宥嘉's《感官／世界》.
+I had such a joy listening to this album, although many may find it too hard to swallow. This time, Yoga has stuck to his own music preferences and decides to do an alternative rock album.
+Does it rock?
+You bet it does. Yoga, in a recent interview about his album, said that he prefers this album much more than the previous one (神秘嘉宾). When listening to this album, he continued, one's senses would feel stimulated, by the flow of this album. Well, I don't really feel stimulated per se, but the songs in this album really touches you. Polished singing techniques aside, his raw emotions and passion sweep over you like a wave. I particularly love the music arrangement of this album, it's very Coldplay + Sodagreen, if you get what I mean. What joy to listen to, really.
+Here is the 2nd hit from this album “说谎”, take listen and be won over. (There's a reason why this song is the second hit - it's not as alternative as the rest.)
+Is it worth my $19?
With this album, it's make or break for him, as it will certainly test the patience of his fans. For those who like their sugar-rush, they will have no doubt migrated over to 萧雅轩 and her《钻石糖》. LOL. Don't get my wrong I love that album also, just that I like this one more. The packaging of this album is really special too. I have never seen anything like this. The "lyrics book" is made of a few posters folded into "album size" and then put together. The whole stack is then placed inside a Ziploc bag. It's hard to decribe, just go take a look. Hahaha storing this is going to such a pain.
+Recommended Tracks: 看见什么吃什么, 说谎, 心酸, 唐人街, 感同身受 Click here to buy now! From YESASIA.com, free international shipping.
+Okay the next album I'm recommending is Taylor Swift's Fearless! Okay I'm slow and everything, but until recently when I revisited her songs did I realize what spellbinding magic they contain!
+Such a sweet, talented and young singer-songwriter! Her songs are very unique, it's like telling a story: no hidden agenda, no lyrics that don't make sense; everything is written and sung honestly.
+Does it rock?
+Country rock, that is. There's a reason why this teenage girl is one of the biggest selling artiste in 2008/09. She's talented, honest, and has a squeaky clean image - something that many artistes her age is lacking. ( Think Miley Cyrus or Vanessa Hudgens.) Her songs are also easy to sing along to, easy on the ears and easy to relate with. These few reasons have garnered her millions of fans! Her voice is strong when it has to be, wispy and lilty in those quiet times. Her songs are really addictive and catchy.
+Here's the controversial award-winning video "You Belong With Me".
+Is it worth my $19?
+Definitely, since the Singapore version only costs $11.90! Buy it with any of the other CDs on promotion and it's 2 for $22. How worth it is it!
+Recommended Tracks: Fearless, Love Story, You Belong With Me, You're Not Sorry, Hey Stephen Click here to buy now! From amazon.com, shipping costs apply.
WHAT'S NEXT?
+Okay that's all for now, in the meantime, we can all wait for Lady Gaga's new album, The Fame Monster, and Britney's Singles Collection, and also Rihanna's Rated R. In the mandopop scene we can expect Jam Hsiao's collection of female love songs (I'm really looking forward to this.)and 梁文音's 爱一直存在 - both in November, 杨丞琳's 雨爱 and 王心凌's brand new album in December.
+Also look out for my next entry where I decide who is The Real Dancing Diva in the Mandopop scene.
+I've been playing Rock Band Unplugged on PSP, and it's really addictive! This song came up, and it really connected with me.
The Middle Jimmy Eat World
Hey, Don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out Or looked down on Just try your best Try everything you can And don't you worry what they tell themselves When you're away
It just takes some time little girl, you're in the middle of the ride Everything, everything will be just fine Everything, everything will be alright (alright)
Hey You know they're all the same You know you're doing better on your own (on your own) So don't buy in Live right now Yeah, just be yourself It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough) For someone else
Hey, don't write yourself off yet It's only in your head you feel left out (feel left out) Or looked down on Just do your best (just do your best) Do everything you can (do everything you can) And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts) Are gonna say
+Alternative Rock! +Coldplay! I've been listening to Coldplay's catalog for the past few days and I really enjoy it! Although some people may find their songs profound, confusing, trashy or draggy. It's not, okay. It's called alternative.
+Actually I'm not even sure why I suddenly started to listen to Coldplay. Perhaps it's because I'm quite sick of all those R&B, pop and club hits that I needed something different, before I die from sugar-rush.
+Some of my favourite tracks so far are The Scientist, Yellow, Violet Hill, Don't Panic, Trouble, Clocks, Fix You, Viva La Vida and many more! When I listen to Coldplay, I'm constantly reminded of how similar the Taiwanese indie band sodagreen sounds like them. Their singing style and music style is really congruent.
+But what I really like about Coldplay is essentially their passionformusic, which you can hear in each and every of their compositions. They sing with so much soul and conviction, it's hard not to be won over, like in this clip of "The Scientist" Live. It's good, watch it!
The Scientist
Come up to meet you Tell you I'm sorry You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you Tell you I need you Tell you I set you apart
Tell me your secrets And ask me your questions Oh let's go back to the start
Running in circles Coming in tails Heads are a science apart
Nobody said it was easy Its such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh take me back to the start
I was just guessing At numbers and figures Pulling the puzzles apart
Questions of science Science and progress Do not speak as loud as my heart
Tell me you love me Come back to haunt me Oh and I rush to the start
Running in circles Chasing our tails Coming back as we are
Nobody said it was easy Oh its such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be so hard I'm going back to the start
+And also watch this really cool video of their single "Strawberry Swing"! It's rather new I think.
+I'M GOING TO BE BACK IN SINGAPORE FROM 14 AUG TO 23AUG! =)))
+Okay, that's rather tentative, but I'm still kind of glad that I'm going to be home! I didn't expect to be given a home leave, and although it's only 1 week, but oh well, it's better than nothing, isn't it? What a surprise! If everything goes well, I'll even be taking SQ. haha
+What a good birthday present! *hint hint*
+WOOHOO! Now back to my Jim Carrey movie marathon. LOL.
Ice Cream DNR (as featured in 溏心风暴之家好月圆)
You talk to me You speak with me Don't sink before you rise baby Don't fade away
You hesitate You seem to wait For all the time we had Feels like a world away
Who's to say, we'll be ok We will make it through the night Don't wanna wake up in this state I just want us both to smile
Cause we're the same And I know that we'll never change Look I bought your favourite ice cream I don't wanna see it melt away
If you walk out now I don't know if we're gonna be the same Baby just talk with me Cause I want you to stay here with me
The memories The things we did I locked inside my heart Where I know I won't forget
And now, whos to say, well be ok We will make it through the night Dont wanna wake up in this state I just want us both to smile
Cause we're the same And I know that we'll never change Look I bought your favourite ice cream I don't wanna see it melt away
If you walk out now I don't know if we're gonna be the same Baby just talk with me Cause I want you to stay here with me
+Oh my God, this is the first time EVER that I've passed my IPPT ! That's if you don't consider primary school and JC, where we all cheated. Don't we all? LOL.
+ Words cannot describe how I felt when I knew my results. Okay, maybe to others, passing IPPT might not be much, but to me, I consider it quite an achievement. The amount of hard work I've put in has finally shown some results! YAY! Call me Corporal Goh! hahaha
+On a side note, I've met up with Bryan today! He came here for JCC and dropped by my camp! And he looks thinner than ever. The feeling of meeting a familiar face is just great! It makes you all warm and fuzzy inside. haha
+Oh yes, I'm currently busy with SAF Day's decorations! Now, I'm working on the stage banner, but I'm in charge of all the other decorations as well. Although I'm doing the same things, but doing it in council was much more fun. Haiz. Oh well, hope everything goes well!
Heartless Kris Allen
