Been listening to these albums this week, great are they!
A definite listen if you have not, my favourite is The Bravery, their new album rocks!, this is just one of those albums where I unwittingly listen from the start to the end without skipping a track! haha.
I love Rihanna's Umbrella too. You ought to catch the MV of this song, the part where she dances to the animation of water splashing in mid-air is just soooo cool wahaha. Actually I'm not a RnB kind of guy, but after being exposed to my only source of pathetic entertainment which is RADIO, I'm beginning to like RnB. Haha, Fergie's Glamourous is also niceeeee.
Kinda inspired to be a DJ, ok, too much radio again. But I think it's cool, other than the nonsensical working hours though. But you can play songs in the library and chat with people!, I would love to be in that job if not for my unfortunate UN-admission to my diploma in Mass-com, JUST because I got C5 for a ONE TIME O lvl examinations. pfff.
Camp life pretty much sucks now, not in terms of training or what but it's the management that's I'm not happy with. Too much politics around, makes the atmosphere so heavy. Hai, but it's ok, 1 mORE YEAR~~~~~ to ORD~~
.
Caught this movie on night's out with jy,colin,benson,limpin,deyang and bala. If you do not know what this show's all about, it's about the first ALL-MALE skating pair ever formed because they were both banned for life for displaying poor sportsmanship after having to share a medal for being tied for first place in a competitition.
It's super funny la, especially the crotch grapping stunt and the looks on their faces lol. The storyline progression is abit cheesy but it's a comedy la, not some sophisticated art show I'm watching.
Speaking about movies, I've had some experience with some REALLY BAD ONES that you should NOT watch. One of them is Be With Me. It's a local art film about this mute and blind woman and her relationship with another old feeble man. And the whole show is DIALOGUELESS!. Do you want to sit through a movie where there's hardly words spoken.
And the whole show is about this old guy cooking dinner for the woman la, THE WHOLE SHOW. I can see this for free lor. If you still do not know what I'm talking about, it's the one where Ezann lee plays a lesbian and kiss another girl la.
EMERGE is coming too, can't wait, not sure if I can attend all services. It's a pity I can't join POS because that's the most exciting competition on EMERGE. I kinda miss the guys now, probably get to see them on the first night haha, wonder how this year's POS gonna be, hope it's smashing better.
Kinda obsessed with photo-blogging too, which means all pics and no words, hassle freee!, will proabbly do up a collage of old photos next week haha

Met up with some of my poly friends at DTE for pool and arcade.
It was fun, played DDR after dunno how many donkey years.
I can still remember how I pestered my parents to get me the jumping mat for the game at home when I was younger.
Pasir ris interchange brought back many memories when I was still in BMT, the large crowd of green plants hanging around waiting to be loaded up the bus, then go into the ferry and end up in Tekong. Hai, at least good memories are better than bad ones. I miss my section mates man...can't wait to see them again.
Been listening to alot of radio while in camp. Tuning in to Perfect 10, Power 98 and WKRZ for their daily top 10 countdown. I'm beginning to stray from my Japanese music roots liao....dunno why, but it seems that the quality of Japanese music nowadays cannot make it....or rather it's too commercialised and formulated, with the ever powerful Johnny entertainment company spilling out hordes of cute and handsome boy bands that instantly won the hearts of many teenage girls around the world, it's no wonder whenever they put out crappy songs or albums or even recycled songs on a so called 'new' album, they still manage to totally pawn the albums of other artists who are true to the art of making great music in the weekly oricon charts.
The music industry in Japan is also slowing dying, even the most popular artist in Japan right now is struggling to hit 100k units of their albums in their own country, whereas obscure artistes or not so famous artistes in American can easily get that number of albums sold in a few days. Wonder what miracle might appear to save them lol.
Oh well, camp life ain't that good either. Politics are everywhere, people trying to siam this or siam that, saying unedifying words to each other, guess maybe I shouldn't be complaining, as life in other camps are far worse, I mean, I should be grateful to God for putting me where I am today already...so no complaints. 1 more year and I'm SNATCHING BACK MY FREEDOM!
Maybe one day I should start trying to compose songs of my own. Actually I did try it out long ago, but I'm only good at coming out chords, not the melody, and even the chords sound like some hymns sung in Moses times, so I guess I have to continue to try LOL, who knows, maybe I might come up with a song that sells millions around the world, which then I can shake my leg until the roof drops down and I don't even care.
Missed out on jamming with sijie and the rest, too bad, maybe next time then, glad to hear they stopped jamming ONE WAY or RUNNING AFTER YOU or ONE LOL.

Woke up at 9.15am on a Sunday morning. Can you believe it? It's so late it's not even funny, all because of a forgotten morning call you see...
Anyway, service was good though simple. It's about conquering your mountains. Speaking about mountains, I have MANY mountains to conquer, just like the many pimples you see on sad people's faces =X.
Went to LJS to eat. Then went town to eat again at LJS LOL. What the poke, life in Singapore is getting sadder and sadder.
Saturday evening was spent with an outing with my army mates. Soooo many people came. The venue was at some hidden place at Beach road? We had the whole area to ourselves and I swore to myself that I'm going to gorge myself to death there.
True enough, I managed to shamelessly stuff around 20 chicken wings? and many friend prawns, cakes, fruits and other food stuff into my black hole. It was worth it haha.
Watched them play pool and actually I spend most of the time watching the cheesy chinese period drama playing on Channel 8 at that time. Didn't join in the card games though.
Anyway back to Sunday, I love LJS because they let us play bridge there for many many hours! unlike the other fast food restaurants whose managers strut around with watchful eyes trying to catch anyone who is not busy filling their mouths with their junk to chase them out with a giant kentucky drum stick in their hand or maybe a uber huge french fries if it's in mac.
Went Topshop for a while. Took photos of me wearing big glasses. Got told by the guy assistant there that no photos was allowed. Felt abit embarrased. Couldn't that guy quietly come to us and tell us that? Does he have to shout?
The only reason I can think of to justify his action is probably he got scolded by his manager earlier or he is just suffering from loneliness, that's why he needs to make himself HEARD. But too bad, the damage's done ahha.
Spider man 3 is coming out, gonna watch it next sat with poly peeps! Whee can't wait.

My Body Is a CageCool album from the good ship Arcade Fire. I never listened to the Arcade Fire and I hated this album when I first heard it but after repeated tries, I like it!.
It's really a different standout album from the rest of the baroque pop genres, in fact, the sound is totally refreshing. From the name Neon Bible you can probably guess that it's a very hymnal kind of album, with lots of prolonged troubled organ chords and hymnish melodies.
LOTS of weird instruments you can hear too, which makes this band really interesting. It starts off with Black mirror, a really unique and dark song, then moves on to Keep the car running, a faster paced song and goes on all the way to track 11. A dark journey if you listen to the whole album in one sitting. My favourite songs are definitly Intervention and Ocean of noise. I like the build up in both songs, very melancholic and isolated.

Keep Holding On Latest album from Avril Lavigne.
Tracks in bold is a must listen!.
Overall the new album sounds very bratty to me, especially when the starting track is "Girlfriend". In fact, the whole album sounds very upbeat itself, even Avril herself confesses to it lol.
However it does have it's own share of slow emo songs. My favourites are definitely "Hot" and "Innocence".
The songs on this album is definitely a change from the previous albums, the songs now sound more rock, which I think Avril is at best in this genre, and she does not deviate to try new genres of music like other artistes tends to do once they release a few albums.
Definitely a good album to listen to, especially if you like emo songs.
