Car Wash

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

Found bat droppings on the car in the morning… So I took a little time out to hose it down… Haven’t had a  seemingly legit reason to play with water in a long while… =)

And a rather appropriate song came to mind.

Car Wash - Christina Aguilera ft Missy Elliot

Definitely puts you in a good cheery sunday mood… 

只对你有感觉

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

Ok… So posting this teeny bopper MV is completely uncharacteristic of me.

But it’s been ringing in my head for ages and ages. Just had to get it out.

And maybe get it stuck in someone else’s head… heh!

只對你有感覺 - Fahrenheit and Hebe

Couldn’t resist adding my own cynical take on the video…

About the guys: I’ve watched this MV over and over, but I still can’t tell the four guys apart, esp. when their clothing changes for the different shots. Basketball guy looks like lee hom but in a rather uncute fashion, dancing guy is so bloody annoying and his pink heart shaped balloons really get on my nerves, flute playing guy can’t act, and magician guy looks promising only from his side profile. And besides dancing guy, the rest can’t dance.

About the girl: Her ponytail persona has no personality whatsoever. She has absolutely no chemistry with any of the guys, which might say something about them as well. Plus, when a bouquet of flowers drops into the hat that the guy is performing tricks with, you’d think to look up and see who dropped it in, no?

The Lyrics

[spoiler]

(Traditional Chinese)

無解的眼神 心像海底針
光是猜測  我食慾不振
有點煩人  又有點迷人

浪漫沒天份 反應夠遲鈍
不夠謹慎 花挑錯顏色
但很矛盾 喜歡你的笨

微笑 再美 再甜 不是妳的 都不特別
眼淚 再苦 再鹹 有你安慰 又是晴天
靠的 再進 再貼 少了擁抱 就算太遠
全世界只對你[妳]有感覺

玩的 再疯 再野 妳瞪一眼 我就收斂
馬路 再寬 再遠 只要你牽 就很安全
我會 又乖 又黏 溫柔體貼 絕不敷衍
我只對你[妳]有感覺

體貼卻黏人 愛哭卻溫順
有時天真 有時很邪惡
對你耍很 就是捨不得

請吸收養分 讓腦袋平衡
要你現身 動作慢吞吞
怎麼承認 我非你不可

(Hanyu Pinyin)

(English Translation)

I Only Have Feeling For You - Fahrenheit & Hebe

A look that can’t be understood, A heart that is like a needle at the bottom of the sea
Only using guessing, I feel that I have no appetite.
It’s a little bit irritating, yet it mesmerizes at the same time.

There’s no fate for romance, Our response is too slow
Not discrete enough, Choosing the wrong color of the flowers.
But it’s contradicting, I like your stupidity.

A smile, no matter how beautiful, how sweet, as long as it’s not your’s, it’s not special.
Tears, no matter how bitter, how salty, with your condolences, it’s a clear day yet again.
No matter how close, how intimate you are, without a hug, it’s considered too far.
The whole world I only have feelings for you.

No matter how crazy, how wild we play, once you stare at me, I’ll keep my feelings.
No matter how broad and far the road is, as long as you hold my hand, it’s very safe.
I’ll be good and stick close to you, and be dedicated, and not be fake.
I only have feelings for you

Dedicated, yet sticky, Like to cry yet docile
Naive at times, yet scheming at times
Showing hate to you, means that I can’t bear to leave you.

Please take in the nutrients, to balance your brain.
Want you to appear, yet your actions are so slow.
How can I admit that I can’t live without you.

disclaimer: if the translation sucks, it’s not my fault… i got it from here .

A huge swarm of bees flew by my mango tree one day and decided that they were going to live there…

IMG_0294

See the black patch on the tree?

It’s the bees!

IMG_0295

It was rather intriguing cos they weren’t stuck on the trunk at all, just hanging from one branch, all of them climbing on top of another. I spent that morning spying on them with a pair binos (while getting the chills up my spine…)

The exterminator finally came by to clean it up…

IMG_0306

He wore a funny spaceman suit and had me and my neighbours close our doors and windows. Then he got down to work…

Check out the video here

This video isn’t very clear but the moment the spray hit the swarm, the bees flew off and encircled the surrounding areas, before they finally fell to the ground and died.

What a way to go…

Spidey!

Friday, May 11th, 2007

By an amazing twist of circumstances, I got off work 2 hrs earlier than expected, and went to catch Spiderman 3 on Monday!

Spiderman 3 Poster

My colleagues, and my good ol’ buddy Miss Ha told me that it was very draggy and long and boring. I was rather worried that it would be a disappointment. Like many other sequels…

For what it’s worth, all that bad review about the movie wasn’t enough to sway tons of people from watching it. We only managed to get third row seats. Everything else behind us was fully booked. Ah well… I guess it’s one of those shows that you need to see for yourself to convince yourself that it was bad show…

Click here for Spiderman 3 Trailer

Guess what?

I loved it!

I couldn’t really see where it was draggy. I was riveted to the screen for the entire 2 hours! The plot development, the way they established the new characters, and tied it together, it was a nicely planned story! And the effects were cool, as always.

I just have 2 gripes about it.

  1. Why does Spidey always have his mask off? It defeats the whole purpose of being a masked superhero doesn’t it?
  2. The way they let Harry discover the truth about his father was kinda sloppy. Someone just wanted to get that over and done with quickly. Quite a letdown, after all that build up and suspense from the 2 prequels.

But other than that, it was a good show…

TBP Rating: Worth a watch… Even if just to convince yourself that it’s bad or otherwise.

…that loves you lately

Fell in love with this song when it started playing on the radio… About the confused girl who has given up and the man who still loves her… And it makes me thoughtful…

Watch it now before the HIP people come and take it off YouTube.

But if you prefer to be law abiding, you can watch it on his official website. The loading time is faster. And the video is higher quality too. You can also just listen to the song on his myspace profile.

Love you lately - Daniel Powter

[spoiler: '[+] Click for lyrics’ ‘[-] Hide lyrics’]

You packed your last two bags.
A taxi’s ’round the bend.
You used to laugh out loud,
But you can’t remember when.
You lost your lies.
It’s like your moving out of time,
And the whole word crumbles right beneath you.

So, I might’ve made a few mistakes,
But that was back when you would smile,
And we would go everywhere,
But we ain’t been there for awhile.
And this I know,
There’s a place that we can go-
A place where I can finally let you know.

‘Cause I’m the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
We’re the only one’s that around,
We’re the only one’s that around this Babylon.

I hope you find whatever you’ve been lookin’ for.
Just remember where you’re from and who you are,
‘Cause there’s a thousand lights that’ll make you feel brand new,
But if you ever lose your way, I’ll leave one on for you.

‘Cause I’m the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
So, come back, get here, sit down. Relax.
Everything’s to see that you’ve come a long, long way,
And it’s the place that you should be.

‘Cause I’m the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
‘Cause I’m the one that loves you lately.
You and me, we got this great thing.
And we’re the only one’s that around,
We’re the only one’s that around this Babylon.

Calling Georgia Tech’s newest foreign import

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007

For Ray, the heavy-metal rocker with a heart for Jesus. Just because he decided to experience 6 months of American air. (If you come back advocating Republican views or something, I will whack you. We do People versus Worker debates here.)

I dun listen to heavy metal, so I found something more palatable, but rockin’ nonetheless…

Enjoy!

Joel’s a cappella group… Click here to go to their official website.

If you think I’m only supporting them cos Joel’s from church, you’re wrong. I do no such thing. I know talent when I see it, and I see it in them. If you can’t see it, watch their youtube vids!

There’s more where that came from…

I was already very impressed when they first sang at Kay’s christmas party… The arrangement for ’silver bells’ and ’silent night’ were really good! But at that time, there were no mics so we couldn’t really hear the bass singer and the percussionist…

At their performance at Esplanade outdoor theatre… I was floored!!

We were late going to the place and we heard their familiar singing from a distance away… Kay curiously asked if they had a real drumset… When we arrived, we saw the sounds of the realistic drums, cymbals, and high hat came from the mouth of their percussionist! The bassist even made the sound of a saxophone in the middle of a song!

Awed…

I really enjoyed their rendition of Rudolph… You can sample that song and others from that performance here

TBP Rating: Excellent! A Must-Watch!
