I guess... ... it is time for an update. First of all, I would like to give a BIGGGG shoutout to Desmond, Yang Meng and Yong Sheng for the lovely present (which I totally love love love), and their great company over prata at Jalan Kayu. Also, a BIGGGG shoutout to Alv and Col for Perfume's album! Although I haven't received it yet, I would like to take this chance to say thank you! ***** I received my Mighty Wallet which I still haven't used cause it looks so nice and pristine in the packaging.
Bash night theme is boho chic. Or is it hobo chic? Oh who cares. Sian, I don't even feel like typing properly now. Whatefs man. 9:52 PM
Shows. As if I didn't have enough shows to watch already, I decided to preview more. -Make It or Break It -Virtuality -Hawthorne -Personal Affairs -Nurse Jackie -Psychoville (intro from Colin) -So You Think You Can Dance Season 5 (psycho-ed by Colin) Haven't watched the first 4 yet, but Nurse Jackie turns out to be pretty good. It's more Grey's Anatomy than Scrubs but without the tons of melodrama. Psychoville is warming up to me after two episodes - having Dawn French in the show is always a plus for me. Finished the first season of The New Adventures of Old Christine and How I Met Your Mother. TNAOOC fares much better than HIMYM, in my opinion. TNAOOC started off slow and weak but it slowly picks up from there and then I went on with that show like it was The Big Bang Theory. The season finale was freaking hilarious. HIMYM was ok, although the leading guy is starting to get on my nerves. I don't why but I just want to strangle him everytime he gives himself some sort of self-explanations to make him feel right about himself. I think I will follow up on season 2 when there's nothing to watch. Also finished the entire 2 seasons of Big Bang Theory. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the show, I love it to bits. Come True Blood, download faster. Season 2 is already out... 1:58 AM
MUSIC.
Decided to drop The Black Eye Peas album because the album is tres SHITTY. Only the track, "Rock That Body" moderately passed. The rest of the songs are very similar sounding - I swear the first 4 tracks were done in a day. Please go back to Elephunk/"Hey Mama" kind of sounds please. Added in Regina Spektor's new album. I know her from "Fidelity" as with everyone else and her new album "Far" sounds very good from the previews from iTunes. I especially love "Folding Chairs" from her. Surprisingly, her first single "Laughing With" sounds pretty meh. Just purchased Daniel Merriweather's debut, "Love & War". I am not really that crazy over his vocals - Daniel can't really touch Jamie Lidell in terms of vocals. I compare him with Jamie Lidell cause they both belong to the more soulful/raspy vocal genre. But what lacks in vocals, he makes it up with great songs. "Change", "Chainsaw", "Cigarettes" and "Red" are just amazing. Smart boy teaming up with Adele on "Water and a Flame", so-so song with great lyrics. Overall, a good solid debut from Merriweather. I would expect nothing less from a Mark Ronson production, who also worked on Winehouse's "Back to Black" album. 1:58 AM

For Gab. These are the shows that I am currently um, watching. Maybe you might want to note some. I'm not tempting you, just notifying you. Hee Hee. How I Met Your Mother (Season 3) Damages (Season 1) Eli Stone (Season 1) Mad Men (Season 1) True Blood (Season 1) The Mentalist (Season 1) Fringe (Season 1) Nurse Jackie (First 2 episodes) The New Adventures of Old Christine (Season 1) Decided to give Fringe another chance, since I didn't really pay much attention to that show the last time round. And I am trying out Nurse Jackie - heard a lot of good reviews thus far. And of course True Blood. 4:20 AM
Cover Me! The covers for Perfume's 2nd Studio album "⊿" are out! I really hope that the CD+DVD version comes with a metallic case. It'll be so cool!   2:09 AM
Weekend update. Oh, I so want this! It is so freakin' cool! In fact, I already ordered one online with my friend - and it helps that it is pretty affordable. -I finally found O.A.R's album "All Sides" after months of searching. -Need to get Black Eyed Peas and maybe Daniel Merriweather's album. -Florence+The Machines are releasing their album soon - next week in fact. -So is Little Boots. Oh noes. -Nine Inch Nails are coming to Singapore but the tix are so expensive. -I'm shocked that I am actually enjoying The Ultimatum on Channel 8. -Paris and Milan on Channel 8, 8pm Thursdays. The show is hilarious. -Downloading both seasons of How I Met Your Mother, heard so much about this show. -Marathon-ing Chuck season 2. -Marathon-ing The Big Bang Theory season 1. This show is PURE WIN - both The Big Bang Theory and Better Off Ted are up there together with 30 Rock. 1:07 AM
Please Listen To This. Please. I don't do this very often cause there's not much good lyrics to post but this one takes the cake. Please listen to it. Oh yeah, it's a 10-min song so bear with it. "レクイエム" - アンジェラ・アキ / "Requiem" - Angela Aki ps, this song was dedicated to Angela's late grandfather who passed away while she was recording her third album, "Answer". （第一楽章） 最後に見たのは対向車線の 眩しい二つのヘッドライト 激しく雨の降る夜こうして 私は呆気なく命を落とした 名前をよばれて目を覚ましたら 聞いた事もない優しい声が 「目の前の赤い扉を開いて こちら側へ来なさい」と言った 「別れを告げたい人がいるから もう少し時間をもらえませんか？」 すると「それでは一晩だけ待つ事に致しましょう この扉 明日朝に永遠に閉じるから 気をつけなさい」 必ず戻ると約束したら 壊れた時計が動き出した （第二楽章） 夜を静寂を 破って私は 地上に舞い降りた 朝が来る前に 別れを告げに あなたの元へと 「会いに行こう」 懐かしい風景 育ててくれた 故郷に戻ったら 母が静かにロウソクに火を灯し 祈っていた 「母さん ただいま」 Mother goodbye 死ぬ事を受けて入れてやっと見つけた真実がある 今まで当たり前過ぎて伝えた事がなかった あなたに一度も言えなかった 言葉にできなかった 私を愛してくれてありがとう 本当にありがとう ｢母さん 元気でね」 朝が来る前に 別れを告げに あなたの元へと 海辺で一人 月を見ながら 涙を流していた 「恋人よ」 My love goodbye 死ぬ事を受けて入れてやっと見つけた真実がある 今まで当たり前過ぎて伝えた事がなかった あなたに上手に言えなかった 出会えて幸せだった 私を愛してくれてありがとう 本当にありがとう 「恋人よ さようなら」 生きてる時に 言えば良かった (第三楽章） aeternam habeas requiem 永遠の安息を得られますように (第四楽章） 人生の旅はこれで終わった 赤い扉をついに押し開けた そこでは巨大な銀色の船が 永遠をのせて私を待っていた Translation Requiem (First Movement) The last thing I saw was 2 bright headlamps from the opposite lane In that night when it rained heavily I lost my life just like that I awoke to someone calling my name It was a voice of unprecedented gentleness "Open that crimson door in front of you And cross over to this side" it said "There're some people I wish to bid farewell to Can you grant me just a little bit more time?" "In that case, let's wait for one night only This door closes for eternity tomorrow morning So please take care" After promising to return The broken clock started to move (Second Movement) I broke the silence of the night And returned back to earth I have to bid farewell Before dawn arrives Travelling to where you are "I'm coming to see you" Returned to the hometown With the nostalgic scenery I grew up with I found mother lighting a candle silently, praying "Mother, I'm home" Mother goodbye There's a truth I've found only after accepting death There are things I never said because I took them for granted Not once, I could bring myself to say this I could never find the words Thank you for loving me, I am truly grateful "Be well, Mother" I have to bid farewell Before dawn arrives Travelling to where you are I found you at the seashore Tears flowing while gazing at the moon "Oh, my lover" My love goodbye There's a truth I've found only after accepting death There are things I never said because I took them for granted I could never bring this across well That I found happiness having met you Thank you for loving me, I am truly grateful "Goodbye, my love" If only I told you this, when I was still alive (repeat) (Third Movement) aeternam habeas requiem (May you have eternal rest) (Forth Movement) With this, I came to the end of my journey Finally pushing open that crimson door I found, waiting for me, a huge silver ship Waiting to take me for a ride into eternity credits to: chrono_cross @ livejournal
