Hello Again
I watched Campus Superstar II.Actually it was not really worth watching, People were actually lip-syncing live.
I know how the results was actually derived so I'd say the result was not surprising at all.
Shawn did not deserve to win.
His singing was quite terrible. He has an awful low range, not that his high range is any better.
How dare he sing 终结孤单, a fantastic song. He cannot have the required intensity of vocals required and sounded like a bloody pop princess singing a rock song. He sounded quite sad actually. He does not have the feel for rock, rather he does not listen to the music enough and have enough 默契 with the band (or recording or whatever nonsense mediacorp made)
Wrong choice of song, in my opinion, go sing some quick pop instead.
Benjamin had a better voice but he did not use the intensity of his voice well enough.
His control the range is a decent bit better than Shawn.
Both was not SUPERSTAR caliber.
Zhengning was, in 1 word, boring.
Singing was flat with barely no emotion and voice lacked the power and intensity, not to say that her voice was particularly gentle either.
Her dance moves are hot though! Thats he probably only redeeming grace.
Keely, has a beautiful voice. Her intensity was good. This intensity conveyed emotions perfectly
She was the only person that swept me away with her strong vocals. Perhaps, her lows are not super stable but they were much more stable than Zhennings. I feel that she really put in a lot more effort than Zhenning. The emotions conveyed was more than enough to cover for her albeit awkward dance moves.
IMHO, Keely deserved to win.

Happy Birthday...
SHIRMAIN.Today, had a study session with the gang at Ang Mo Kio Library.
I was an hour and a half late. I'm really tardy, damn!
Anyways, apart from the study session we had schemed to surprise Shirmain.
We bought a really nice Casio Sheen watch for her. It was the one Ella was wearing in the advertisment.
Back to the scheme, we completed the card by sticking our photos on to the cute booklet we bought for Shirmain and personally designed our page. I did the last page but unfortunately i spelt the word 兄wrongly. Sucks to be me!!
Peiwen then drew out a picture of another picture and it looked really good!
After which we went to catch the Movie, Secret. I think the show was not too bad except for the times where the show had to drag a little. The love between the two characters were well portrayed out however the emotions failed to tug my heartstrings . I rate the movie 3.5/5.
I felt movies such as I not stupid I/II are much better shows as the human relationships like family is more intimate and precious. I felt the effect was better.
We then had dinner at SUMO HOUSE. The we went to a very uncanny place, Cash Converters, to celebrate Shirmain's belated and ... my belated birthday too. I think that was one of the major twist to my day and i enjoyed it too guys.
We then had creme attack. Hanyong and I drew 1st blood against Kosin haha!

There's no place I'd rather be...
I think the theme of this post would be "Home".
I might be moving from Bishan to Raja Court.
The problem is that I love Bishan, I've always loved it.
I love the brick brown housing, the morning breeze.
I've come to love the people in the neighborhood.
All my friends are in Bishan, ok I've got friends living in Raja Court too but we aren't very close.
The Flat in Raja Court is just quite sad looking. I hate it. I hate the broken marble flooring, I hate the colour of the walls, I hate the toilet, I hate the doors, I hate the view, I Hate the Location the Most.
Raja court = 15 mins to the MRT. Bishan = 5 mins.
I've already made plans, if such an event happen.
Plan A, I'd move into my aunt's place.
Plan B, I'd move into my friend's place.
Plan C, I'd live like a hobo.
Anyways, Today some numb-nuts came and viewed my darling house today.
1 numb-nut kept whining on how to go Toa Pah Yoh from Bishan.
Eh! Hello, Just take out a Frucking Map and check the location out.
The same numb-nut, kept boasting about his son being a 6 foot hugemongeous( huge and enormous) person and the door would probably not allow him to enter the flat.
Well, It must suck to be him!
I'm quite happy the door was too "small" for him.

Rant Rampage
I'm quite disappointed with my ipod nano.
The sound quality is really below standard.
The bass was lacking in the bundled earphone which made music seem like an inverted prymid.
When i used my Sony N.U.D.E. EX-51 earphones (they sound gorgeous, ok, they sound decent with some EQ when played through iTunes) the ipod just distorts everything.
Another issue with the ipod is that it does not allow you to EQ it to your own specific preference. Grrr!
Anyways, i shall be contented with it, it is still serving me very faithfully with below average sound quality!

知足
知足 - May Day怎么去拥有 一道彩虹
怎么去拥抱 一夏天的风
天上的星星 笑地上的人
总是不能懂 不能觉得足够
如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛
那天你和我 那个山丘 那样的唱着 那一年的歌
那样的回忆 那么足够 足够我天天 都品尝着寂寞
当一阵风吹来 风筝飞上天空
为了你而祈祷 而祝福 而感动
终于你身影 消失在 人海尽头 才发现 笑着哭 最痛
如果我爱上 你的笑容 要怎么收藏 要怎么拥有
如果你快乐 不是为我 会不会放手 其实才是拥有
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
知足的快乐 叫我忍受心痛
I fell in love with this song all over again.
知足
I think its very important for a person to be contented.
But honestly, I think no one can be truly contented.
Then there comes the beauty of humanity, we try.
Like what Morrie said, "Whats wrong with being second place?"
Initially, I never wanted second place.
I said, "There's nothing wrong being second but it does makes us a little unambitious."
I have not gained the insight to contentment but I'm trying.
Here's a little something to all my friends, a great song but its in Taiwanese/Hokkien.
虽然你脾气坏
对待朋友又差
凸槌又更爱牵拖
佳在你遇到我
不爱计较的我
算你坏人有好命
我走路你坐车
你吃饭我洗碗
你被欺负我拼命
若为了爽到你
可以艰苦到我
因为 咱缘分不可散
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若不爽 我是你的垃圾车
每天 听你的心声
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若欢喜 我是你的垃圾车
每天 为你唱歌
感情若想要满
杯底就要呼干
这杯就爱饮呼干
这杯你饮呼干
这杯我饮呼干
咱 这箱拢饮呼干 拢饮呼干
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若不爽 我是你的垃圾车
每天 听你的心声
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若欢喜 我是你的垃圾车
每天 为你唱歌
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若不爽 我是你的垃圾车
每天 听你的心声
有你 我才未孤单
有你的陪伴 我才有靠山
你若欢喜 我是你的垃圾车
每天 为你唱歌
