CONTACT HARVEST, TREBUCHET and IRIS

Went Kinokuniya like 2 times last week haha! it's such a great place that i don't wanna leave it I WANT TO SLEEP THERE!




Not exactly attracted to the literature works, I'm more into sci-fi (see picture) or music most importantly Graphic Novels or Manga.



Newest of the series, oldest in terms of storyline, CONTACT HARVEST!!


I already devoured 3/4 of it!! (:


Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann city is HUGE!! when last sunday i went to the Bugis one, i was like "Oh man.. this is Kino? so embarassing... den walk out... " DARN SMALL LA! like Popular liddat... nevertheless the collection of books still exceed that of Popular.


I tell you, i'll forever look down on Popular! The only things they sell are useless assesment books which I can write too. Grab a TYS and change values lo. Small kid also know.

I think I'm going to reread Ghost of Onyx after this book... But meanwhile I'll have to finish and fully comprehend the books on religon and sciences passed to me by Vincent's dad. LOL. those philosophies are driving me crazy. But they are rather true once you grasp the meanings....


While at Takashimaya, i tried this extra expensive puffs and Eclair, lol, but seriously, Vincent's parents treated my la. I didn't get pictures but who the hell reads this man? LOL
MERRY CHRISTMAS! to whoever who reads this. =.-

月牙湾
BY: F.I.R

敦煌天空的沙粒 带着我们的记忆
我从半路看回去 这秦关漫漫好蜿踞

梦想穿过了西域 包含了多少的彩衣
埃及像一本游记 我会找寻 它的密语

看月牙湾 下的泪光 在丝路 之上被遗忘
是谁的心哪 孤单地留下
他还好吗 我多想爱他

那永恒的泪 凝固那一句话 也许可能蒸发
是谁的爱啊 比泪水坚强

轻声呼唤 就让我融化
每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀
向着我爱的人追吧

梦想穿过了西域 包含了多少的彩衣
埃及像一本游记 我会找寻 它的密语

看月牙湾 下的泪光 在丝路 之上被遗忘
是谁的心哪 孤单地留下
他还好吗 我多想爱他

那永恒的泪 凝固那一句话 也许可能蒸发
是谁的爱啊 比泪水坚强

轻声呼唤 就让我融化
每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀
向着我爱的人追吧

是谁的心哪 孤单地留下
他还好吗 我多想爱他

那永恒的泪 凝固那一句话 也许可能蒸发
是谁的爱啊 比泪水坚强

轻声呼唤 就让我融化
每一滴雨水 演化成我翅膀
向着我爱的人追吧

Nan Hua Symphonice band 4 days 2 night camp finale = Excellent Concert!

Woot! just came back from Nan Hua Sec. DAMN NICE AH! lol. was invited by Vincent to watch their concert and that school is huge man.... haha but more importantly their Symphonic Band rocks!! haha.
Well, i kinda think that Ghost Fleet was a shaky start... not very firm but still... NICE! 2nd song was one of the best, "Kaze No Mai " dancing in the wind. I kinda like Kaze no Mai... perhaps it is because that their are already warmed up after Ghost Fleet, i find that their synchronisation is perfect.

3rd song, Anthem for Winds And Percussion is also nice also though it didn't make a huge impression.

4th song, Hot Latin! haha, the conductor starts to get so HOT! lol... really his expressions are funny, but can see that he and the whole band is really enjoying what they are doing. (:

5th song Where the River flows is a song with impact and an ultimate test to their dynamics. with the frequent switch between loud and soft to express the different strengths of the river. Very well, played piece.

INTERVAL!! i saw this gal who i supposed play the flute!! she look like a mini version of Kui Lun Mei,(isit liddat spell anot?) that female lead of Secret. haha and i saw this Alumni for their band... who looked like my previous tuition classmate... and i WAS seated beside my maths tuition classmate... LOL think she remembered who i am... =s

OK! Alumni performance...
A relative small band, but the sound quality definitely does not lose out to the full nan hua band.

Highlights from chess didn't make much of an impact on me but as i said all the pieces are enjoyable, i just prefer certain pieces to others...

Broadway in the 90s! haha victor kept reminding me about 116 Broadway from the movie Enchanted. -.-Magic Mirror! haha. This song is GOOD!! It's is a medley of The Circle of Life (Lion King), Beauty and the Beast (Beauty and the Beast ), The Moment (Kekyll & Hyde), Godspeed Titanic (Titanic) and Seasons of Love (Rent). But what i mostly heard was circle of life and beauty and the beast.. maybe cos i'm not familiar with the rest of the songs, but REALLY!! those two songs are enough!! sooo nice!

Instant Concert is the last peice by the alumni band and is cool, haha cos they combined alot of oldies and famous pieces played by bands and this quirkiness made a lsting impression on me.

Mulan!! medley again, and a very beautifully arranged one!! I LOVED THIS!! songs includes Honor To Us All,I'll Make A Man Out Of You, A girl woeth Fighting For and Reflection. Reflection is my favorite part and the best part!! Really rich emotions there!!

Last in the tables of content is Saturday Night Fever, nice but not attractive to me though, but i msut say, all the songs are very well arranged and played.

APPLAUSE!!!

lol... Surprise piece was Sponge Bob Square Pants, funny finale. haha but to be able to play that wierd piece into such a nice song... APPLAUSE!!!!!

haha, Piano Competition starts today.. feel like going to watch... XD

The Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is a real tearjerker... though i didn't cry, neither have i completed the game but hearing it's theme song/ ending song certainly makes people feel sad. For this, a tribute to Zack, Angeal, the really cool Genesis and last but definitely not the least the yet-to-die Sephiroth, I'm changing the song for this blog to Why? by Ayaka, the theme song for Final FantasyVII:Crisis Core. (:
Here's the lyrics...

瞳の奥がぼやけて見えない
hitomi no oku gaboyakete mie nai
心の底の 気持ちはあるの?
kokoro no soko no kimochi haaruno ?


世界の全てを手にしたとしても
sekai no subete wo teni shitatoshitemo
それがあなたの幸せなの?
soregaanatano shiawase nano ?


Why 孤独な空を見上げるの?
Why kodoku na sora wo miage runo ?
Why 笑って見せてよ
Why waratte mise teyo
言葉にするのが下手な
kotoba nisurunoga heta na
あなたの性格わかるから
anatano seikaku wakarukara


遠い昔に何があったの?
tooi mukashi ni nani gaattano ?
視線をそらす あなたの瞳に
shisen wosorasu anatano hitomi ni


一人でさみしい夜に抱きしめられる
hitori desamishii yoru ni daki shimerareru
そんな温かさ知ってる?
sonna data kasa shitte ru ?


Why どうして形にこだわるの?
Why doushite katachi nikodawaruno ?
Why 心を開いて
Why kokoro wo hirai te
大きな荷物を背負った
ooki na nimotsu wo seotta
あなたを受け入れられる力
anatawo ukeire rareru chikara
あるわ 信じてみて…
aruwa shinji temite ...


自由な人は不器用で…
jiyuu na hito ha bukiyou de ...
自由な人は不安で…
jiyuu na hito ha fuan de ...


Why 孤独な空を見上げるの?
Why kodoku na sora wo miage runo ?
Why 笑って見せてよ
Why waratte mise teyo
言葉にするのが下手な
kotoba nisurunoga heta na
あなたの性格わかるから
anatano seikaku wakarukara
信じてみて
shinji temite

And the translation..

The inner part of the pupil becoming blurred, it is not visible
There is a feeling of the bottom of heart?

Assuming that everything of the world was obtained,
That you being happy?

To look at the Why lonely sky?
Why laughing, showing,
It makes word unskillfulness
Because your character is understood

There was something in distant former times?
In your pupil which bends the gaze

Alone, you see and force and hold in the night and are closed
Such it is warm, knowing, the truth?

Why why you adhere to shape?
Opening Why heart
The big baggage was shouldered
The power which can accept you
A certain trying believing,…

As for the free person being clumsy,…
As for the free person being insecure,…

To look at the Why lonely sky?
Why laughing, showing,
It makes word unskillfulness
Because your character it is understood
Trying believing

Piano lessons commence!! Well, after 4 years of emptiness, i decided to switched from Yamaha organ to classical. And also to start from scratch to polish my foundation with the timing part. Teacher is a guy, haha, he keep saying that having passion is important and he asked me if i learn piano to take exams or for myself. I told him I learn for myself but i want to take exams to see where i stand. haha, he seems to like my answer (: Well, i'll work really hard from now on i guess... cos i'm still not good enough(:
