五月天追夢3DNA

I'm not gonna nurse any hopes about the story line... '3DNA' is way too cheesy...

Regardless, I'm just gonna go watch this in Sep with the expectation of it being a super long Mayday MTV.

I wonder if any of the hokkien songs made it to the big screen... coz the film sounds very PRC.

Regardless, Monkey 还我!!

台湾提醒了我...

铁汉有柔情　
有铁汉　才会有(小)女人



《挪威的森林》～伍佰
讓我將妳心兒摘下　試著將它慢慢溶化
看我在妳心中是否仍完美無瑕
是否依然為我絲絲牽掛　依然愛我無法自拔
心中是否有我未曾到過的地方啊

那裡湖面總是澄清　那裡空氣充滿寧靜
雪白明月照在大地　藏著妳不願提起的回憶（藏著妳最深處的祕密）

妳說真心總是可以從頭　真愛總是可以長久
為何妳的眼神還有孤獨時的落寞
是否我只是妳一種寄託　填滿妳感情的缺口
心中那片森林何時能讓我停留

或許我　不該問　讓妳平靜的心再起漣漪
只是愛妳的心超出了界限　我想擁有妳所有一切

應該是　我不該問　不該讓妳再將往事重提
只是心中枷鎖　該如何才能解脫




《心愛的，再會啦》～伍佰
海上的 船螺聲已經響起
對你猶原情綿綿 今日要來離開

心愛的 不甘看你珠淚滴
在我不在的日子 你著保重自己

異鄉啊 總有坎坷路要行 我袂寂寞 有你在我的心肝
男兒啊 立志他鄉為生活 和妳團圓 在我成功的時

最後的 船螺聲又再響起
猶原不甘來離開 手牽著心愛的 再會啦

大開眼戒 ~ 陳奕迅

Unbearably lonely and insecure. Who has not been there?

What makes one do to write lyrics so beautifully?
My 大哥 says cannot be straight.



詞: 黃偉文

不要著燈　能否先跟我　摸黑吻一吻
如果我　露出了真身　可會被抱緊
驚破壞氣氛　誰都不知我　心底有多暗
如本性　是這麼低等　怎跟你相襯

情人如若很好奇　要有被我嚇怕的準備
試問誰可　潔白無比

如何承受這好奇　答案大概似剃刀鋒利
願赤裸相對時　能夠不傷你

當你未放心　或者先不要　走得這麼近
如果我　露出斑點滿身　可馬上轉身
早這樣降生　如基因可以　分解再裝嵌
重組我　什麼都不要緊　假使你興奮

情人如若很好奇　要有被我嚇怕的準備

試問誰可　潔白無比

如何承受這好奇　答案大概似剃刀鋒利

但你知一個人　誰沒有隱秘

幾雙手　幾雙腿　方會令你喜歡我　順利無阻
你愛我　別管我　幾雙耳朵　共我放心探戈

情人如若很好奇　要有被我嚇怕的準備

試問誰可　潔白無比

如何承受這好奇　你有沒有愛我的準備
若你喜歡怪人　其實我很美

Electioneering

For all you emo voters out there...
Radiohead sings about elections.
Radiohead is always right.

It's the same everywhere.
We exist in one of the most capitalistic times.
Asia is in its prime... again... after thousands of years.
Can you imagine the millennial wait?

Those in power will not wanna miss this rising speed boat.
Why should they?

So they will say all sorts of stuff... Promise you all sorts of stuff...
...............................................................

Electioneering ~ Radiohead

I will stop, I will stop at nothing.
Say the right things when electioneering
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
Ha ha ha

Riot shields, voodoo economics,
it's just business, cattle prods and the I.M.F.
I trust I can rely on your vote.

When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.
When I go forwards you go backwards
and somewhere we will meet.

《你是我的花朵》~ 伍佰 & China Blue

Everybody! I'm driving 'Good Fren' nutz by playing this on repeat, and dancing to it while we play Monopoly Deal. =))


留心脚步 看得清楚
有很多可疑的因素
呼喊你让你糊涂
考验我爱的程度

高楼电梯 霓虹深处
舞动在人群很拘束
拉着我不要飘走我在
你背后挡风

*[喔你是我的花朵
我要拥有你插在我心窝
喔你是我的花朵
我要保护你一路都畅通
喔你是我的花朵
就算你身边很多小石头
喔你是我的花朵
我要爱着你不眠也不休]

高楼电梯 霓虹深处
舞动在人群很拘束
拉着我不要飘走
我在你背后挡风

Repeat *

不管你心充满多少困惑
我绝对不会对爱你放松
你是我所有快乐源头
我和你将会到达那开心乐园

Repeat *

Radiohead lah!

At THAT CD Shop at Great World City with cheesy jazz pop blasting...

BM: Do you have Radiohead's latest album?
Cashier: Huh?
BM: Radiohead? Latest album?
Cashier: Radiohead? Dun have.

BM: (Walks out of the shop and towards 'Good Fren') What kind of lousy CD shop is this? They dun even carry Radiohead. No self-respecting CD shop doesn't carry Radiohead!
GF: Huh? What's Radiohead?
BM: ??? Radiohead?? No??
GF: *blank look*

Is Radiohead even indie?! How come no one seems to have heard about them??

脱掉。。。 脱到 K Pop!

Since Alex To 杜德伟 released his smash hit 脱掉 in 2004, it has made its round in East Asia.

Mr To's piece...


Japanese version by DJ Ozma. It's called Age Age Every Knight.


Most recently, the Korean version by DJ Doc. It's called Run to You.

Apparently, this song was so hot in South Korea that major discos played it repeatedly. =)

But I still prefer Alex To's version. =))

China's New First Lady “牡丹仙子” 彭丽媛

If you have not already heard, her husband is Mr Xi Jin Ping 习近平, who has recently emerged as the next candidate for President of People's Republic of China. In more familiar American terms, that's Mr Obama's equivalent, except Mr Xi doesn't get voted into office. He gets appointed by his seniors.

Up till 18 Oct 2010, it was a neck-to-neck race between Mr Xi Jin Ping and Dr Li Ke Qiang 李克强. I won't go into details here, but it's an intriguing read. Just google their names together in English.

In gist: Prince vs Scholar.
Sounds rather familiar and disconcerting at first, but if you think about it in terms of the context, this outcome probably makes more sense for China. Not so sure about applying similar principles to other sovereignties.

I digress... Back to “牡丹仙子” 彭丽媛...

Know what's really weird? I've heard of this famous folk singer, “牡丹仙子” 彭丽媛, before the recent buzz. I recognise her voice!!

How is it possible that one who listens to Marilyn Manson, also appreciates 牡丹仙子???

Maybe it's the uniform. O_o

YOZOH 요조 - K-Indie-ish Pop

Ok, to balance the amount of Korean oldies I've been listening to, I found YOZOH 요조.

A Korean female singer... born in the early 1980s... somewhat indie-ish pop. Can't really say she's indie, coz she's more pop-ish... Not so much K-Pop as we know it... I don't think she does those 'bam-bam' body-jerking dance moves.

She's more like the kooky act-cute type.

Yesh... You get the idea...

联想：Somehow girls who look like that... I often wonder if they menstruate regularly. I shan't explain myself on this point, coz it's kinda tough. It's just a thought that comes with consuming the look. Perhaps my brain tags such a look with 'unreal' and 'doll' and 'not adult'. Hence, no menstruation. O_o. And so, it's kind of counter-intuitive coz this is the precisely that look which Japanese sanitary pad companies like to use for their ad campaigns. Kind of ironic, if you ask me.

Anyway... This is one of her nicer songs. It's called Morning Star.


Then you have this weird song of hers (which probably qualifies her as 'indie'.

It's called 'Banana Party' and the lyrics go...

Give me your banana
Let me taste your banana
Let me taste your banana

As part of her song, she sings 'Niam Niam Niam' to complete her banana-tasting experience.
I'm not kidding. Listen to it.

비 내리는 영동교 ~ 주현미

Ju Hyeon Mi 주현미 (周炫美) is a Korean-Chinese and an ultra popular singer in South Korea in the 1980s and 1990s.

I like this song of hers very much.

비 내리는 영동교 ~ 주현미

밤비 내리는 영동교를 홀로 걷는 이마음
그사람은 모를꺼야 모르실꺼야
비에젖어 슬픔에 젖어 눈물에 젖어
하염없이 걷고있네 밤비 내리는 영동교
잊어야지 하면서도 못잊는 것은
미련 미련 미련 때문인가봐

밤비 내리는 영동교를 헤매도는 이마음
그사람은 모를꺼야 모르실꺼야
비에젖어 슬픔에 젖어 아픔에 젖어
하염없이 헤매이네 밤비 내리는 영동교
생각말자 하면서도 생각하는건
미련 미련 미련 때문인가봐
...................................................................

Where can one buy Korean oldies (not K-pop) in Singapore?

天公疼憨人

Not sure why... But I like this very much, especially the last line. =)

感情无必要打扮，阮生做平平凡凡，
我是一生的希望，不该一暝就用完，
缘份无必要操烦，无欣羡别人的尪，
爱恨恩怨的世间，阮用真心来相等，
等等等，等有一工我心所爱的人，
乎我永永远远，陪伊去天边海角，


相信天公拢会来疼憨人，
相信这摆我无看不对人，人无需要比较，
爱是甜蜜的苦恼，我来陪你到老，
相信天公一定会疼憨人
相信幸福，一定会留乎咱，
爱不是一场梦，只要有你疼痛，
会冻乎我，变成世间尚美的人。



Getai Version... She's good. Super Lian... Next life if I can speak Hokkien...
