Lost and adrift....




感官。世界 + 守护者 + some others
Saturday, 19 December 2009

Just wanted to intro to whoever is reading this out there:
Yoga Lin You Jia's new album,《感官。世界》 is out!
And has been out for quite a long time.
I didn't really pay attention to it, but in the process of finding a certain song from another singer(read all about it here), I listened to his album and found some songs surprisingly good.



《说谎》 is quite popular, one of the songs in every FM station's 排行榜(This is true! At least it is for 3 FM stations XD).
I guess ya'll will like it too.:)




《感同身受》 is quite unlike Yoga's previous songs, I guess.
It has more Rock elements in it(isn't it obvious haha).
I feel that it is more preppy and upbeat than most of his previous songs.
This is also my favourite song in the album.




I've got mixed feelings about 《歇斯底里》.
The tune of the song sounds really weird(I think ya'll will agree), but yet I like it, especially the chorus.
Well, too bad, I just like weird songs, haha.XD
Oh, and according to the description on the Youtube thingy, this song is the real rocker song that brings out the '摇滚精神'.:D

Next up: 《守护者》 by 神木与瞳!!!
Heard on the radio.:)
This song is nice too!




Next next up: Singaporean singers!

As you all know, JJ Lin recently released a new song.
Well, it's called  《第几个100天》.
Here:




And then it's Tanya Chua!
She's really pro, her song 《抛物线》 was also in the 排行榜 of many radio stations!
Oh and I like this song too.:)
Oh no my handphone is going to lose so much storage space!XD


K that's all, hope you enjoyed the songs!


A Mistake, but I found it!!!

So sorry.
The radio station where I heard the song was 988 FM, not My FM.
It was a really grave mistake cos their 排行榜 has different songs.
Well I didn't know there were 2 Malaysian stations.:(
It really costed me alot of time. * Bangs head on the wall*

But, the ordeal is now over!!!!~
Because.........................* drum roll*
I found it!!!!!!!!!!!*Jumps for joy*
Cos I went to the 988 排行榜 to search their songs.
Then when I searched certain singer on Youtube, I found the song name very 'suspicious': 《呐喊》.
 Which is exactly one of the lyrics of the song!
And it turned out to be true.
But I can't find the song when I searched for song previously as there are only 3 videos of the song, and they are all press interviews.
Little wonder I can't find it.=.=
Anyway, the song name is 《呐喊》 as mentioned above, sung by 陈家凯, a Malaysian singer.
He's not very well-known as he was once a singer, then he quit for some time, then now he just came back again.
Anyway, thanks to the people who help me find this song.:)


Below is the press conference with the song.
我找你找得好苦哦!!!:(
Anyway, enjoy.:)
Btw, the song is from 0:37 - 1:41, so just skip to 0:37 of the timing to hear the song.





Pls help me find this song!!!!

Disclaimer 2: This song has been found. Thank you very much for your help.:) 
 
Disclaimer: This post is an 'appeal' for help to find a certain song, and it will be very boring, with details and all.
If you hate boring stuff, I urge you to stop reading right now.
However, I will sincerely thank you if you choose to continue.


Actually I really didn't want to write this cos I know nobody reads my blog anyway, but I am really getting abit desperate.
You see, I have been searching for this song for 3 days already.
I first heard this song on the Malaysian radio channel, My FM(104.9 FM).
At first I thought it was just some normal song, but after awhile I felt it was very nice.
However, I was never able to catch the song name(or rather, the DJ didn't even mention it).
So I started searching for this song.
I tried the My FM website, I searched for and listened to the songs of every male singer I know(the singer is male, btw) but to no avail.
I even went 9.33FM website(not much link, but just in case) to listen to the whole 排行榜 but I still can't find the song.
I have never ever searched for a song so long and still can't find it.
It makes me feel damn fustrated.X(
So, I know I must be weird to get so desperate just because of a song, but if you've heard it before, please tell me the song name so I can finally find it.
Thanks so much!
Below are the details of the song:
-Sung by a male singer who's voice sounds very deep(similar to 柯有伦's voice)
-Heard on My FM(104.9) as mentioned above
-I heard snippets of the lyrics(the dots are lyrics I didn't catch):
寂寞。。。排山倒海
让眼泪流个痛快
。。。痛苦的呐喊
However they may not be fully correct.
-I know the tune of the song but of course I can't sing it here or something.
But if you know how to read notes and imagine the sound or something, here's the chorus(/ means pause, h means high):
(Btw here's the link to a virtual piano to help u imagine.)
D A G A Ch A G A D/
Fh Eh Ch A/ (actually should be low, but the virtual piano don't have low A)
D A G A Ch A G F A/
A G A Dh Dh/
Eh Fh Eh Ch Ch A A/
D A G A Ch A G A D


Thank you very much for reading this post and even more thank you if I find it with the help of all of you out there.:)


Parents who quarrel in front of their children suck
Tuesday, 15 December 2009

Well, quarrels will definitely be heard.
Who can quarrel out of earshot of their children while speaking/shouting so loudly must be a pro.
But they should at least have taken the liberty to NOT quarrel in front of their children.
It could have some bad influences on the children, you know.
Like, say, cos the child's parents always quarrel in front of her, and she is sick of it and hates it damn much that she decides - in order not for that to happen to herself - never to marry in future.
What's more, if the parents almost never quarrel when she's not around(but how would she know? Cos they still talk to each other when she gets back from school or somewhere), and only quarrels when she's around, then she may think that she is a jinx.
And that sure is not too good for the child's development.

So parents or parents-to-be out there, or whoever is single but wants to be a parent in future:
NEVER, EVER quarrel in front of your children.
 Don't be like some stupid girl's sucky parents.


On the News!

Yesterday I was reading this article on the newspaper and I saw this picture!














If you think you know why I'm so interested in this picture, no la, its not because got shuai-ge.=.=
Its because...........*drum roll*
Don't you think the guy in blue looks like a guy version of a certain NPCC Coordinator a.k.a. this year's 3E chairperson?
Yes!
You're right!
He looks like Jing Xian!
Wahaha.
Let's compare this picture with the one on top.
 
Jing Xian!                                 











Similarity: 99.9%

You see?
Ahaha so now Jing Xian has a new twin.

Psst....I hope they don't sue me or something. xP

New song:



Enjoy!


Saturday, 12 December 2009

I'm getting quite emo now.
Realized that this holidays, haven't been connecting with my friends at all.
 And there were some outings, and I wasn't informed.:(
Until someone else came and asked me if I was going or not.

I'm not blaming them, but just that I feel quite neglected.
Although I admit that I also didn't talk to them much for the whole holidays.
Also admit it's partly my fault too, for getting so isolated from the others.

I guess I'll be the kind of person who, after graduation or leaving will just gradually get forgotten.
And then at some gathering ten or twenty years later, they'll just forget to invite me.

Or
maybe lose contact with me?
I don't know which is worse.


I'm back!!!
Tuesday, 8 December 2009

Yo, I'm finally back from Malaysia!
Actually have been back for quite long already.

Wanted to introduce ya'll to the soundtrack of this French movie called Amelie, original title being Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain ("The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain"). 
I have never watched the movie itself, but the story is about a young woman called Amelie who has an isolated childhood and an overactive imagination. 
After helping a man recover his childhood memories and thus making him happy, she resolves to help bring positive changes to the lives of others around her, while finding love on the way.


Anyway, the soundtrack is composed by Yann Tiersen, who later became well-known due to his works in the movie.
The main instuments he use are the accordion and piano, thus you will hear these instuments alot in the videos I'm gonna show you later.


The first piece is La Valse d'Amelie.
It has 3 versions- piano, accordion and orchestra.



The piano version...



Not Yann Tiersen himself, but he is one of the proer players on Youtube so I put his video lor.



And the orchestra version. I didn't really like it cos it was too "music box"-like, but maybe you'll like it.

I'm sure ya'll would have heard Comptine D'un Autre ete before if you have read one of my earlier posts.
This is the most well known songs from the Amelie movie, and has been used in other movies as well.



The weird sound at the starting is probably background music from the soundtrack, I guess.



As with La Valse d'Amelie, La Noyee, the last song I'm introducing today also has 2 versions, the accordion and piano version, although I greatly prefer the accordion version as I feel that it is better in bringing out the atmosphere of the song.
Lol I think I was dreaming. I made a mistake, La Noyee only has one version.





Anyway you probably have heard this piece before from the Mediacorp advertisement:



Hmm wonder if they got ask Yann Tiersen for the music copyright anot?
Lol joking.

If you're interested about the music, click here for the track listing for the rest of the soundtracks for your convenience.

And click here for the Youtube channel of the very pro accordion player guy.
Btw, he has his own album!
So pro right.

And click here to learn how to play Comptine D'un Autre ete on piano!
According to people on Youtube, it is quite easy to learn.

Hope you enjoyed the music!

P.S. This is abit unrelated, found this while trying to find the soundtracks.
But the B-Boys in the video looks very pro!
But their dance seem abit scary too.
Haha.



P.P.S. This is a very obvious reminder, but remember to stop the music player before playing the video! Haha!
