i've decide to do a new review for 盖世英雄。

1. 在梅邊: 昆曲 + r&b. i actually kinda like the rapping lyrics in this song (rapping lyrics by lee hom and singing lyrics by 阿信 of 五月天:
“爱是什么 爱并不是 接近以后就 电 喜欢以后就 追 腻了以后就 飞”
“我的世界一切越来越方便 但 奇怪还是没有办法找到一种爱”
a lot of philosophy in this song with a “绕口令” at the end talking about issues faced by the modern generation/or how the world is changing.

2. 花田錯: haha ok this song is really already imprinted in my mind because of the presale vcd having the mtv and mtv making in it. everytime i hear this song now, the chio girl in the mtv oways appear in my mind this is also the song used for the sony ericsson commerical (in taiwan, i believe) haha but so cool, in his previous album he was highly flashing nokia phones (3230 and my hp ) ard and now it's sony ericsson!

3. 蓋世英雄: featuring (rapping master) Jin 歐陽靖 and (京剧 master) 李岩. i must say i am super impressed by Jin. he sounds like Eminem! even the parts rapping in cantonese are so convincing and very amazing!

4. Kiss Goodbye: I swear, listening to the sample from sony's website and listening to the song to it's entirety in the album gives you totally new impression/intepretation/perspective of the song. the intro sounds a little not so matching with the chorus. but somehow when they are put together, it's just perfect together. the big ballad of the album? well mayb not power packed enough. it does get a little sian/draggy after a while.

5. 完美的互動: featuring Rain and J-Lin. (i do think they sound better singing in english than korean) :S my mum was like so 幸灾乐祸 cos and me and my sis dun really appreciate the whole korean phenomenon and it's until quite an extreme stage actually. haha until my mum was like,'you all don't like it so much, wait you all marry koreans ah!!!' den my sis was like,'if you marry korean, i will disown you!' wahaha ok we are crazy anyhow i love the irony of lee hom introducing himself as 黄绿红. haha

6. 大城小愛: this song reminds me of 早期的力宏. in the sense he kinda brings out the "innocence" of his earlier albums.

7. 第一個清晨: from the album credits, lee hom directed this mtv. i wonder how it's like! but anyhow, this song just kinda grows in me. sounding better and better after listening a few times. the big ballad of the album? i think it sounds more sweet (like a bf singing to his gf) that a big ballad.

8. 哥兒們: there is a repetition from a line in "Follow Me" from the previous album.

9. 讓開: sounds highly experimental and cheena. 讓開!!!

10. 愛 因為在心中: song written and sang by Our Home fanclub (i think Our Home China) for lee hom for his 29th birthday. haha was really surprised that lee hom included this in the album so sweet.

Overall, Lee Hom's rap/r&b songs are highly creative and very impressive. i think they are one of the best that he's composed so far. the fusion of 京剧/昆曲 and r&b is a great mix and i think lee hom has been really sucessful in achieving it. But if you are looking for a power-packed/charged ballad like forever love or 你不在, i think you'd be seriously disappointed because there is none. something which i think really lacks in this album. and this album has too many collaborations! until i feel that in some songs, lee hom is singing less than half of the song! -_- gosh. from the sony website, it says that lee hom has brought about 所谓的音乐 "盖世英雄" all together in this album. but i can see that in this album, it's really all about what lee hom likes and wants to experiment. this album is really all about himself. the things that he likes 京剧，昆曲. sometimes i really wonder whether it's cos i've already been so accustomed to this new style of lee hom's musical direction that's why i am still able to appreciate his albums. because i seriously doubt that i would have been able to appreciate this album as much as i would have if i heard it like 5years ago. it's like his musical direction has been slowly evolving to more r&b-ish since "unbelievable".

sometimes i just dun understand why is it so difficult to just inform me if you cannot meet up with me?

and this is not the 1st time. e other time when he got back i only knew that i was gonna meet him for lunch on the day itself at 10+am. -_-''' imagine me telling my mother i was not gonna eat lunch (cos i tot meeting), i was eating (cos already 10+am and no news), i was not gonna eat lunch (cos finally confirmed). stupid rite? my mum oso hear until so sian...

rejection is easier to accept than you think, ok? that's if you inform me about it. not when i have to ownself admit to myself,'ok he's not going to go out with me since he's never got to telling it to me himself'. that is really very wtf ok. grrr... now it just pisses me off even more. i was even prepared that i won't get to meet up with him. really w.t.f.!!!

i myself have turned down many friends' outings countless times (think yilin and gang's countless invitations until they decided to leave me out on their outings. but seriously i dun blame them or anything, that's just part and parcel of life, cause and effect). friends get mad at me but seriously most of the time it's cos the timing really doesn't work for me and i dun really like staying out or till too late cos my parents will really nag at me the next day. and when they nag it's really just living hell. So yar, i know e troubles of turning down ppl but i still do it cos it's just not fair to not tell them about it. now that's just being irresponsible!

and yes, what's up with some of my friends always thinking i'm some kind of psycho and will get mad at trivial things? the other day jh was telling me,'wah i tot that day you were gonna be pissed at me for making you wait so long...' and i was like,'you think i'm some kind of psycho ah??!!' ok for those who did not know, i was supposed to meet him at j8 and then go MR's hse together for steamboat. but i reached j8 really early and walked ard till i was really bored, i even went to eat corochan and yakitori. and jh reached j8 really late with low batt for his hp and he had to go cut his hair. so i was like wandering aimlessly ard j8 till i tot i shd just make my way to MR's place 1st since i dun feel like waiting. likedat oso shd get mad meh?? -_- what's up with you guys!! haha.

i must make myself clear again,
'i only get really mad when i'm damn stressed when sch related things like work or cca.'

YAY!!! my modules have finally been successfully bidded!

this sem's bidding has been very agonizing! argh!!! like slowly waiting to get my modules. keep getting outbidded (i seriously suspect it's all those yr4s stealing all the popular modules! since they have so many general a/c pts!!! grrr!!!). my timetable's been messed up a gazillion times! =(

but thankfully i have nice friends like james who make it a point to find a module that we can both take together. haha so grateful! and luckily there are friends taking all my modules together with me! not so ke lian like the past few sems when i'm taking modules all by myself. esp cores like cs2104 / american film :S but yar *those were the modules that i did rather well with no 1's help!!! muahaha!!!* anw no jap3 this time cos the timetable is really just too bad already. will have to rush from soc to arts and back to soc and also risk not eating from 9-6pm! :S if i got a license and car to ferry myself to and fro i still can consider, but i dun have a license even to begin with... -_-'''

ok and here they are:

CS1280 Java to C++ (conversion course)
CS2106 Operating Systems (YUCK YUCK YUCK!!! )
CS3240 Human-Computer Interaction (flash)
PC1323 Great Ideas To Contemporary Physics (NO EXAMS!!!  
PR2202 Cosmetics And Perfume (waited for so many years =) )

final sem already! i hope i can really make my time spent in this last sem worthwhile to the fullest!

wow! she sounds really damn good. reminds me of some other singer but i can't really put across who it is... mayb a cross btw celine dion and lara fabian. can't believe it took me 2yrs+ to realise her greatness

that's it! no more overapplying of concealor! got a shock at wad a freak i look like everytime i look at myself in e mirror. my eyes look nice but e concealor made my face look damn like a ghost and when i was removing the makeup can like c e layer of makeup lor! so yucky. look ugly and waste so much makeup remover oso... -_-

anw i just got back from an outing with min, we had dinner at essential brews (the chicken pasta was not bad btw but i choked on the olive oil even tho i love yummy olive oil =) ) and later drinks at Harry's. Intended to go to wala wala but the queue was so damn freaking long!!!  

anyhow what have i been up to lately? well not much actually, mainly fretting about my modules! went for PC1323 lect and seriously it's so god damn boring and dry and difficult i dunnoe how ppl can actually make e bid go so high till 625pts!!! non-examinable is one thing, but it's so difficult! and freaking boring. Yup so i dropped it and got heavenly maths, doing which shawn (he keeps telling me,'come to heaven with me!' hehehe). but yar shd b fun, e lecturer seems very nice and all from e ivle announcements and his website but it might not be a very easy module. oh well... and... i have decided to take jap but then no vacancies at all!!! grr!!! appealed already they still tell me to try to bid for it. stupid ppl. just lazy slackers. Chiba-sensei told me to be patient and wait. but seriously i need to file for grad by next week. and it's not like jap has v little tutorials. i have to bid for them 1 oso and bidding starts on sat. wth... and also jap has textbooks! which were sold e other day. can you imagine, dat day i was camping in arts hesitating on buying the books and not even having lunch till 2+pm... the whole module business got me damn pissed off till i decided even if i dun get jap, i'd just heck care. i just want to settle my timetable can!!!

and also, for the past week i really felt very no friends. i know sometimes it's really great to have some alone time. good for reflection and you dun have to talk to any1 when you dun feel like it. but 3 out of 4 lunches in sch all alone is kinda too hard to handle. esp 2 of which were at munchies, all alone. yanting saw me there and was like,'你自己一个人啊？' diaoz...

so mayb that's why people have bfs/gfs. help to tide the times of loneliness at mealtimes. well sometimes i really really really miss being in a r/s. ok i noe i haven't been in many or even any really worthwhile r/s. but yar, at least e basic stuff that couples do really make me feel very envious. it's been ever so long since i really went on a date dats really a DATE. where has that feeling gone to!!?? haha i haven't felt like i just wanna spend all my time with just 1 person for a very long time already. and it's been an even longer time since i felt like,'oh i just want him to send me all the way home to my doorstep just so i can have more time just to talk to him...' hahaha sounds damn childish. oh well... the only thing worst than being single is, being in a sucky r/s! =)

Izzie: life is short George, do you really want to die before you ever ask her out?

George: I do not want to ask her out

Izzie: do you really want to die a liar?

George: I'm not a... I'm not dying.

8 students from Osaka Prefecture University are coming to NUS in mar!!! haha they are now appealing for hostfamily recruitment over at ivle gosh!!! this sounds damn exciting! esp if i can see the ppl i met in osaka in sch!!!

*hope ken/hirotomo comes to sg!!! muahahaha!!!*

wah lao eh! i am super super taken aback la!!!

this guy L just called me on my hp and ask me whether i wanna go sentosa with him and his NUS frens tmr lor!!! and when i asked him why he suddenly ask me to go sentosa he was like,'oh i noe you so long le but i realised we still have not gone out b4...' and i am freaking taken aback lor!!! haha and after that he actually proceeded to asking me how my new year was and stuff, made a few minutes of small talk. haha this is seriously kind of funny cos I don't really know him very well. was in e same 1101 n 1105 tut class and also i borrowed guitar from him b4; when i see him in sch is just wave those kind.

haha interesting sia haven't spoken to a guy (as in chit chat and stuff) on the phone for quite some time. reminds me of all e nervous senarios back in sec sch when i used to spend a lot of time talking to girls and guys on the phone. calling guys was especially a challenge, oways feel my heart racing like siao!!! HAHA

anyhow!!! I used to think L looks quite good except he's really not tall (he's my height lor... -_- ). but dunnoe, this sem when i saw him in sch he doesn't look dat good anymore. but yar nice guy on the whole!!! =)
