sam tsui has talent

if you haven't seen this on yahoo's top feature, i urge you to watch this now.


a guy with a nice voice has very high appeal to me. especially when they can sing so well.

there are more of him here.

i will be looking out for his productions in future. i'm really digging it right now.

i love it

and can relate to it.



If I were a boy, even just for a day
I'd roll out of bed in the morning and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys, and chase after girls
I'd kick it with who I wanted and I'd never get confronted for it
Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy, I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it's broken so they think that I was sleeping alone
I'd put myself first and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she'd be faithful, waiting for me to come home
To come home

If I were a boy
I think I could understand, oh-oh-oohh-oh
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I'd be a better man
I'd listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he's taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It's a little too late for you to come back
Say it's just a mistake, think I'd forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You got it wrong

But you're just a boy
And you don't understand (yea, you don't understand, oh!)
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don't listen to her
You don't care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Because you've taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you're just a boy

her performance's pretty awesome and i think this song touches the heart in some ways.

i feel romantic tonight

=)

i heard this amazing song.

fell in love with it.

and now, im resolute to look for the movie, titled Once, an Irish musical film produced in 2006.

take a listen if you're here. you'll enjoy it.


Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglová - Falling Slowly Lyrics

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You'll make it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along

i'm good, i'm good without ya

Honey was fab!

Jessica Alba was da bomb!

Row and Rox raved about it many years ago and i only just caught it.

Missy Elliot was hilarious and the MV and song performed by Blaque Ivory is kinda cool...


it makes me feel like dancing in the club.

dad

received a text from mom saying that dad is in e ward. i freaked out.

turned out dad had a bad fall but when i called to check on him, he managed to ease my fears and actually cracked jokes. i guess no normal parents ever want their child to worry. and im glad i have dad to lean on when i was going through a rough patch earlier on.

dad and i, well, we were not always this close to begin with. you could say we had a new found respect for and understanding from each other.

its amazing how God always blesses every broken road.

Lyrics

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus:]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

UPDATED with captions

a quick shot taken infront of my mirror just before heading out the doors to meet zoee and her friend, benny, who drove down to SG in order to fetch us up to KL for the Tiesto gig happening later that night.



heavy air lined with laser beams and loud thumping music and a strong bass.







zoee and myself amidst the trance crowd.



a hired Caucasian poi performer twirling neon glowy props. it is traditionally done with fire where 2 long wicks are utilized and the performer entertains with a dance and twirling of the wicks. also called fire twirlers. some trance lovers i know perform this sometimes.















the first night saw zoee and myself alone at the gig where we met up with jason muthu, alvin sung and even denny & brenda. second night was the bomb, a blast. but photos are still with zoee as im typing this.

we put up at benny's place on the first night and on the second afternoon, he brought us to try his fave beef noodles when we were moving along to Port Dickson for the resort check-in (they paid for second night of the gig).

very tasty indeed. the noodles are not the same ones we have in SG and the taste's really special with minced beef sauce mixed in for extra flavour. really different from what we have in SG.



benny and zoee digged in without a prompt.



in the States, they have Dunkin' Donuts.
in Malaysia, they have Big Apple.
according to benny, they taste even better than Dunkin' Donuts and being a mega fan of donuts, i had to try it. and so, he drove us to The Curve.









benny paying up for the purchase.



zoee and myself.



the box of delight.



clockwise from left: peanut butter chocolate, oreo crumbs, plain with melted chocolate inside, chocolate shavings, pink panther, peanut butter chocolate (again).



benny forewarned i will need napkins for this and i gobbled up the peanut butter one whilst the chocolate oozes out... heavenly!

as for it being better than Dunkin'?
you bet it is. =)

can't get enough

jessica and i caught the last showing of 27 dresses at cineleisure today. boy was i glad we hadn't missed out on a great flick. it wasn't merely a chick flick. the dialogue had wittiness, humour and entertainment to it. i absolutely love the songs they played in the film.

especially this one by Ray LaMontagne call Be Here Now.
it's hauntingly beautiful.



lyrics
Don't let your mind get weary and confused..
your will be still; don't try.
Don't let your heart get heavy, child;
inside you there's a strength that lies.

Don't let your soul get lonely, child..
it's only time; it will go by.
Don't look for love in faces, places —
it's in you; that's where you'll find kindness.

Be here.. be here now.. be here now..
be.. be here now.. be here now...

Don't lose your faith in me,
and I will try not to lose faith in you.
Don't put your trust in walls,
'cause walls will only crush you when they fall.

Be...be here now... be here now.
Be...be here now...be here now.

i can't find the full versh at imeem. sadness.

sheena called, bringing happy news. i'm thrilled for her new career. it reminds me; one good turn deserves another =).

it doesn't sound like much

lyrics
Head under water,
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while.
The breathing gets harder, even I know that.

You made room for me but it’s too soon to see,
If I’m happy in your hands.
I’m unusually hard to hold on to.

Blank stares at blank pages.
No easy way to say this.
You mean well, but you make this hard on me.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.
Today.

I learned the hard way,
That they all say things you want to hear.
My heavy heart sinks deep down under you,
And your twisted words, your help just hurts.
You are not what I thought you were.
Hello to high and dry.

Convinced me to please you.
Made me think that I need this too.
I’m trying to let you hear me as I am.

I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's,
Make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I'm not gonna write you to stay.
If all you have is leaving,
I’m gonna need a better reason to write you a love song today.

Promise me you'll leave the light on,
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone.
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say,

I won't write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one you see.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this.
Is that why you wanted a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one you see.
I’m not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this.
If you’re on your way,
I’m not gonna write you to stay.
If your heart is nowhere in it,
I don’t want it for a minute.
Babe, I’ll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to,
Write you a love song today.
Today.

...but it keeps me going.

to all my loved ones, this is what i want to say

...if tomorrow never comes



Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she they mean to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her them how I feel

If tomorrow never comes
Will she they know how much I loved her them
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she some must face the world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

...i never want to miss a chance telling all my girlfriends, best friends, families (yes, families) how much i cherish, appreciate, love and how very happy i am to have each and everyone of you in my life.

country rocks
