You know when you start to get bored…
you’ll find sites like Flickr. Its really cool though, ever since I quit using it years ago :S
And Picnik! Great site for simple online photo editing without even signing up for an account. Sleek interface and easy to use. Just when you thought you needed Photoshop for all the basic stuff…
Guess what. Pool right after blocks >< Haha, deproving standards..
Reached home to find myself watching something Junjie asked me too. And gosh, a super inspiring lecture. Achieving your childhood dreams — how cliche yet we find ourselves forgetting about it. I’m really touched after watching the entire lecture. Watch the 1 hour plus lecture here =)
Ended off the night with a mass convo yesterday, when i got to see the true colours of someone called Shuyang…
And the movie outing today!
犬と私の１０の約束 aka 10 Promises To My Dog. Very normal storyline, but you will still feel like crying when the time comes. The dog and the girl were super cute when they were young >< And the movie comes with a free poster, hehe.
Next up will possibly be Shaolin Girl, Kurosagi and Cyborg Girl =D
So I should sleep now before revising Chem =X
Better in Time by Leona Lewis
It’s been the longest winter without you
I didn’t know where to turn to
See somehow I can’t forget you
After all that we’ve been through
Going, coming, thought I heard a knock
Who’s there, no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realise that I really didn’t know
If you didn’t notice you mean everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’m gon’ be okay
* Thought I couldn’t live without you
It’s gonna hurt when it heals too
It’ll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I’m gonna smile cause I deserve to
It’ll all get better in time *
I couldn’t turn on the TV
Without something there to remind me
Was it all that easy
To just put aside your feelings
If I’m dreaming don’t wanna laugh
Hurt my feelings but that’s the path
I believe in
And I know that time will heal it
If you didn’t notice boy you meant everything
Quickly I’m learning to love again
All I know is I’m gon’ be OK
*
Since there’s no more you and me
It’s time I let you go
So I can be free
And live my life how it should be
No matter how hard it is I’ll be fine without you
Yes I will
* x 2
And I will.
You know your holiday isn’t that great when you:
Nevertheless, there were still some good moments like:
Erm.. the cons still outweigh the pros though ):

Simple
Burst of colours

Rawr, the kind of stuff I create when I’m bored.
Rawr, I am only writing about my favourite singer’s new album after like 3 months.. =(
Utada Hikaru’s 5th Japanese album reached the shores of Singapore pretty fast so I bought it in less than a week after its original release date. The bad thing is, it is a CD-only album.
It would be quite redundant to say that it reached No. 1 on Oricon Weekly Charts after its release, but I still have to say it (:
Tracklist:
* Bold ones are my favourite songs in this album
HEART STATION
Yep, the kind of song you should expect at least from hikki. A song that is more pop-like and mainstream, but catchy in tune, though the chorus isn’t that a prominent part of the song. What I liked was its lyrical reference to the frequencies of the heart (sounds cool huh =D)
Beautiful World
Yay, theme song for Evangelion 1.0 Movie. It sounds just like an anime song (hence the theme song for Evangelion). Fast-paced, dreamy tune and I love the chorus (:
Flavor Of Life -Ballad Version-
The name itself already tells you that this is a slow-paced song. Simple yet powerful. So much so that it beats the original version (which is only a bonus track) =P
Definitely one of the best recent ballads (and also the best-selling) till date from hikki, though not usual of her. This is the kind of song I really really look out for in any album I listen to, haha.
Prisoner of Love
My favourite non-single song (as of the release date then) in this album! And the theme song of a currently airing drama in Japan, Last Friends, which I so love watching =)
Also a ballad about love and friends, but the tune sounds much more elaborate because of its intense strings background. The tune sounds great even on its own, which can be heard in the drama mentioned, though I don’t have it =(
This album had some of the nicest songs (especially the singles) but the accompanying songs lacked the outstanding quality the singles had. I ended up listening to the favourite few continuously, and nearly forgotten the rest.
But hey, the few songs above are good enough for it =D
Hmm, her 2nd English album coming up..
Rating:
Its not like everyday when you wake up, you would think “Today’s a great day, so I should spend some time studying..”
But not every day is a great day. So start studying now.
When the right day comes, its time to have fun =)
Went to watch Narnia with Wai Min, Adrian and Yun Heng yesterday at Vivo. 2.5 hours and I thought it was much better than the first one. More fighting scenes, and beautiful scenery (:
I feel like watching Lord of the Rings again… rawr.
