hmm... i wanted to post on new year's eve but ran out of time in the end... so well, instead of a sum up of 2006, i tot i'll just do a mini youtube-concert to end it off eh...
Track 1.
To start it all off, we have
才女+歌神 = wonderful song + wonderful vocals (many thanks to kwan for the recommendation)
Track 2.
Next up, 9 years ago on New Year's Eve, X-Japan performed their last performace, The Last Live in the Toyko Dome. Here's the last official item, Endless Rain. This should remain as the best youtube video for me for a long long time...
Track 3.
The bg song, sometimes love just ain't enough by Stephanie Sun.
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are....sometimes, love just ain't enough.
Track 4.
The last song which is The Last Song by X-japan once again...
Encore
Since all encore pieces are cute, this one is not exception. None other than Mayday's track 10 in the new album, Born to Love(为爱而生), 宠上天... lol, not posting the song up here though, go buy the album! It's very nice!
Well... so Happy New Year everybody! Tekong awaits....

lalala... it's the chirstmas season so merry X'mas everyone. Life's pretty the same, i'm done with DVDs and books i want to watch/read i guess. On a second book by Paulo Coelho- The Zahir, it's pretty interesting but i'm taking much longer to get through this one.... finally finished it todae, will blog bout it later... lol, apart from books and dvds, went for this wine-tasting thingie last week at swissotel with my parents. (food and service this time is much better than prom and it's cheaper too!) Drank like 5 glasses of wine but in the end apart from slower reflexes, wasn't anywhere near drunk. Paid a visit to the newly opened IKEA at tampines too. Actually wanted to visit Courts too as they are side by side, but in the end took like 3 hours to walk the entire of IKEA... haha... Then on fri, had CO outing at pasir ris park, went to the children's playground(yes, of all places). But it was a fun experience climbing webs, playing on the swings and playing soccer, apart from the occasional rain tht made us run for shelter and the rope burns from climbing the webs. Went for class party at night, was supposed to be a bbq but again the rain disrupted it. Nevertheless, haven't seen the class ppl for quite some time so it was nice catching up with them. Gift exchange was o___0 though, thanks to the present situ chose for himslef..lol... On sat, had a family christmas dinner at home, my parents ordered turkey which was okay but nvr really liked them. Chicken tastes so much better... lol, maybe coz we dun have fresh turkeys around here... hmm... then on chirstmas, met up with vin and xl who just returned from tekong. Went vivocity coz xl was there with his family and so many of us haven't seen the place yet. Ate at the food court b4 *ahem helping vin find a christmas present. Speaking of which, many thanks to snl for the christmas present... at least u bothered, unlike the rest of us..haha... Spent much of todae sleeping coz of the weather, just watched death note 1 though. arh... now i want to watch death note 2.... DSTA just sent their letter for the preliminary interview- 9 jan, 2 days b4 i depart for tekong...lol...
The problem-
"The acomodador or giving-up point: there is always an event in our lives that is responsible for us failing to progress: a trauma, a particularly bitter defeat, a disappointment in love, even a victory that we did not quite understand, can make cowards of us and prevent us from moving on. As part of the process of increasing his hidden powers, the shaman must first free himself from that giving-up point and, to do so, he must review his own life and find out where it occurred."
The solution-
" That is why it is so important to let certain things go. To release them. To cut loose. People need to understand that no one is playing with marked cards; sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. Don't expect to get anything back, don't expect recognition for your efforts, don't expect your genius to be discovered or your love to be understood. Complete the circle. Not out of pride, inability or arrogance, but simply because whatever it is no longer fits in your life. Close the door, change the record, clean the house, get rid of the dust. Stop being who you were and become who you are."
Extracts from The Zahir
well... however we may try to deny, we must admit that the people and world around us are going to change. Like i said in the farewell post, people move off at different pace in different directions after a farewell, and yah, i can already detect a certain distance creeping in. It is human to feel pain, but this pain cannot and should not prevent us from acceptance and moving on, coz ultimately we need to be out there doing what we want, not what we should. So... i guess i got to get a gear on and start moving off in my own direction at my own pace...
Been listening to evergreen old sch stuff nowadays. They nvr fail to put me in a good mood, even if they are super sad songs, like the one in the bg now. haha... shall post a few more here:)
这一次我执著面对 任性地沈醉
我并不在乎 这是错还是对
就算是深陷 我不顾一切
就算是执迷 我也执迷不悔
*别人说我应该放弃 应该睁开眼
我用我的心 去看去感觉
你并不是我 又怎黱了解
就算是执迷 就让我执迷不悔
我不是你们想的如此完美
我承认有时也会辨不出真伪
并非我不愿意走出迷堆
只是这一次 这次是自己而不是谁
#要我用谁的心去体会
真真切切地感受周围
就算痛苦 就算是泪
也是属於我的伤悲
我还能用谁的心去体会
真真切切地感受周围
就算疲倦 就算是累
也只能执迷不悔

B4 i start on this post, i just want to add on to the last post. I can't believe i forgot the punchline.-When u practise universal love and love everyone, u in fact, love none at all.
The flats in my neighbourhood are being undergoing repainting and renovating works and i'm stuck at home, poisoned by the paint fumes.... been watching dvds and reading books recently, watched lake house, superman returns, toyko trial, last samurai and v for vendetta. For the books, i was on a harry potter spree until interrupted by this intriguing book- The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho. When i picked it up, i couldn't put it down till i finished it. Here's an extract:
"She had just realized that there were 2 things that prevent us from achieving our dreams: believing them to be impossible or seeing those dreams made possible by some sudden turn of the wheel of fortune, when you least expected it. For at that moment, all our fears suddenly surfaced: the fear of setting off along a road heading to who knows where, the fear of a life full of new challenges, the fear of losing forever everything that is familiar. People want to change everything and, at the same time, want it all to remain the same. "
ppl are starting to enlist for NS, vin went in yest. 4 weeks left for me. For once, there is really nothing to look forward to in the new year. haiz.. scholarships apps essays are starting to pile up too, will prob get down to them after i finish my dvd and books spree. Was looking thru the pics that shannon took in RI, RI really changed a lot eh.. there's this overhead bridge thingy linking the admin block to the junior block. hmm... the one part of RI that i will always remember is its corridors, esp those on the 2 sides of the admin block, gives a homely feeling whenever u walk pass it.
Isn't it futile/pointless/a watse of energy being upset with someone who did something that he/she perhaps isn't aware of? How often have cowardice, fear and terror lulled us into choosing to become the victims of circumstances, when more often than not, we are masters of our own fate? I find myself unable to answer these questions
I was so sure I was right,but I hoped with everything i've got that i was wrong. But alas, it was not meant to be.There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidence. Turn left, turn right, a choice has been and there's no turning back. Man ultimately needs what's worst in him in order to achieve what's best in him.
New song is N'sync's This I Promise You. The original i have is enchanting, think the version uploaded is a little low on quality, but yeah, ask from me if u wan the original. Tot this song is the only ballad that has a christmas-ly feel to it. It's the best song from N'sync if u ask me..

It's amazing how fast babies can grow. Haven't seen my niece for like 6 months and she grew from a baby that needs to be carried around to one that can trample her way across a room. And when it's mealtime, it's like waging a war. She would eat one spoonful of food and start running around for 5 minutes b4 eating another spoonful. And it's pretty interesting looking at her mum and dad fussing over her, trying to draw a line btw loving and spoiling the child. Spent most of my family chalet either watching her or playing with her.
hmm... realised that I've not blogged in quite some time. Shall do a short recap of wat happened since 2B chalet. Went for class outing(badminton) b4 going for the chalet. First night was spent watching ppl play rumble roses on ps2 and playing mahjong. lol, and the 2b ppl decided to celebrate the end of my birthday at midnight. 2nd night was bbq, good food plus lots of crapping bout sec sch days. Was at my family chalet for the 3rd day and had another bbq, haha, a miracle tht i didn't fall sick. When the bbq ended, went back to the 2b chalet and we went night cycling. Our first destination was East Coast Park and we cycled along Changi Beach Road which spanned across the entire length of changi airport's runway. By the time we reached the end of the road, decided against going to ECP and turned around. hmm.. changi airport looks quite spectacular at night and watching planes taking off and landing at close distance was quite interesting. Although yeah, there was an unusually high population of ppl in pairs sitting on cars or motorcycles parked on the sides of the road. After resting for a while back at the chalet, cycled to Pasir Ris Downtown East and back. Overall, night cycling was a little tiring, but nonetheless a fun experience. Checked out the next morning, went back home to sleep for a while b4 going for my family chalet. hmm... after my family chalet, there was prom. Performances were pretty boring but well, prom's for us to take photos after all. Missed the last train after prom, so decided to join the co ppl and zj's class ppl at kbox. After kbox, went back to the hotel room to watch champs league and played some slapjack game. Went home in the morning to sleep(i seem to sleep in the morning alot nowadays... totally screwed up sleep cycle) and went for CCO's concert at night. kk, then yest went down to suntec to watch RJCO perform. Glad to see them trying new stuff, arrangements of non-traditional chinese songs and stuff. ha, jiayou for next yr's SYF! hmm... thts bout it for my past week, i guess
Watched Battle of Wits sometime earlier, there was this line: 兼爱是因为你不懂得选择你应该爱的人. One practice universal love when one is unable to choose who he/she should love. How true....
你想要的，我却不能够，给你我全部
我能给的，却又不是你，想要拥有的
kk, new song. 花香 by 周传雄. Shall post the original MTV here. Was actually sung by 许绍洋 and it was the 主题曲 for 薰衣草. omg, 陈怡蓉 so chio, but 刘亦菲 still pwns all...haha
风没有方向的吹来
雨也跟着悲伤起来
没有人能告诉我
爱是在什么时候悄悄走开
风伴着花谢了又开
雨把眼泪落向大海
现在的我才明白
你抱着紫色的梦选择等待
记忆是阵阵花香
我们说好谁都不能忘
守着黑夜的阳光
难过却假装坚强
等待的日子里
你比我勇敢
记忆是阵阵花香
一起走过永远不能忘
你的温柔是阳光
把我的未来填满
提醒我花香常在
就像我的爱
风伴着花谢了又开
雨把眼泪落向大海
现在的我才明白
你抱着紫色的梦选择等待
