下一站,幸福

One of the songs in the show 下一站,幸福. Fits the story so nicely, that I feel emo whenever I play this song.

Jkai has more to say about the show, and the songs.

Another song from the show.

叮当 – 我爱他

Happy Songs For A Great Recession

I’ve never been a fan of English songs..

First heard of Budak Pantai few years back when Jiawen told me about this cute song of theirs – Tribute to Titanic (it’s in the Budakmentary album).

*boys and girls, let me tell you a story. A story about a great big ship* *WOW!*

That’s like the only song I heard of theirs. Until DK told us about their Starbucks tour in Nov. And then I got to know of their concert!

Wasted no time in getting my tickets. Bought their latest album “Nothing Also Happy” and started getting to know the songs before the concert 3 weeks later.

They sang most of the songs in the new album! Plus some oldies.

  • Cool (aka Nite)
  • Retrenchment
  • Piah
  • Angels (Shirlyn from the UnXpected joined in too!)
  • Happy
  • An oldie – 为什么要对你掉眼泪
  • 橄榄树
  • No Matter (woohoo~ I like this song!)
  • All Rice
  • Nipples
  • Lighthouse
  • Also
  • I want my Jewels (not sure of the actual title)
  • 追 (Malay remix)
  • Leap for your love
  • Some christmas song, tribute to Michael Jackson
  • Ken Lee…. (if you remember Susan Boyle)
  • Unbreak my heart
  • ABBA (i think!)

Encore..

  • 客人来
  • 12 Days of Christmas.. Hey baby hey baby hey
  • Hey There Delilah (one of my fav!)

Short 90mins concert, but I had real fun. Laughed throughout! I love how they fuse the songs! I love how they change the lyrics to existing songs. It’s so funny! Here are some of my favourites!

No Matter

This Love

Hey There Delilah

Not sure why, but I’m falling in love with their songs. There seems to be some kind of connections that I have. 😀

丁当 – 你为什么说谎

Finally had a chance to try out this song at KTV!

Was forewarned by J-Kai NOT to attempt this song 😀 Wanted to prove him wrong LoL

Pilot tests failed miserably. Ding Dang’s pitch was too high for me!

Took me 2 tries today. 2nd attempt was a better one, after warming up. =)

丁当 – 你为什么说谎

这次我走开再没有话要说出来
我不想再期待走下去还能多精彩
我不了解你怎能心安
也捉不住你的倔强
可是我知道你你为什么说谎

你说你还在一分一秒也没走开
我想留在这里可是这一切已太晚
我不能再像从前一样
为我们的明天疯狂
你不必解释你为什么说谎

你不能说我没有爱过
说我没等过难过我也想说
也许能重来我却还是沉默
你一直问我的心到底在不在
问我怎能不遗憾就丢失了爱
而我的泪怎么就流下来

你说你还在一分一秒也没走开
我想留在这里可是这一切已太晚
我不能再像从前一样
为我们的明天疯狂
你不必解释你为什么说谎

你不能说我没有爱过
说我没等过难过我也想说
也许能重来我却还是沉默
你一直问我的心到底在不在
问我怎能不遗憾就丢失了爱
而我的泪怎么就流下来

你不能说我没有爱过
说我没等过难过我也想说
也许能重来我却还是沉默
你一直问我的心到底在不在
问我怎能不遗憾就丢失了爱
而我的泪怎么就流下来

你一直问我的心到底在不在
问我怎能不遗憾就丢失了爱
而我的泪怎么就流下来

Christmas don’t be late =)

Caught this video on DK’s blog. I’ve been listening to the soundtrack from Alvin & the Chipmunks (1), but have yet watched the show. Finally I’m having some visuals to the soundtrack that I’d been listening to!

Mayday 创造DNA演唱会 2009

隔了1年又4个月,他们又回来了!好盼望!但那期盼的感觉,怎么没去年那么强烈啊?

终于等到了8月29日。演唱会门票,早在7个月前已经买了。7个月的等待。。好久!不久前滚石加了一场,28日。没打算买,觉得应该和29日的一样。怎么知道,消息传说28日五月天会场到凌晨12点多!好后悔!开始问志同道合的朋友,有谁要陪我去28日的演唱会。可是大家都觉得太奢侈了,都不大愿意去。:(

27日傍晚,Miss Oi 在 msn 上问我是否要陪她去28日的。兴奋!可是。。被我拒绝了!哈哈。。觉得真的好像太奢侈了啦!28日早上,因某种因素,心情不是很好,就觉得说,不如晚上去看演唱会,听五月天现场唱歌,心情一定会好起来!就msn了Miss Oi。她答应了!开心!怎么知道。。10分钟后,她改变主意了。:(

无所谓啦,反正29日的我都会去了,应该满足了,对吧?

说回正题!隔了1年又4个月!2007年6月2日 五月天 《离开地球表面》 演唱会。2008年4月28日 五月天 《回到地球表面》演唱会。2009年8月29日 五月天《创造DNA》演唱会。

已经忘了他们唱的第一首歌是什么。:(

这次的演唱会,除了听歌以外,慢慢开始欣赏歌曲的编排、他们的服装、萤幕上播的video。觉得video 似乎太多了。虽然与主题配合的恰恰好,感觉好像不是在听演唱会,而是在看电影。有点不习惯丶觉得怪怪的,但还是继续享受演唱会 :)

听他们的现场演唱,心情郁闷的我开始跟着音乐跳了起来。他们,就是五月天。总是能够让我忘记烦恼。

真的忘了他们唱了哪些歌,印象最深刻的几首,应该就是「志明与春娇」、「温柔」、「突然好想你」、「一棵苹果」、「天使」、「知足」、「恋爱ING」、「离开地球表面」、「最重要的小事」、「孙悟空」、「HOSEE」、「放肆」、「DNA」、「垃圾车」、「我心中尚未崩坏的地方」、「后青春期的诗」、「爱情的摸样」、「疯狂世界」、「拥抱」、「如烟」、「你不真正的快乐」、「出头天」等等。冠右也独唱了好几首闽南语歌。

我,有被感动到。明明已经是第二场了,看得出他们已经累了,但他们还是唱到午夜12点!很想他们再继续唱下去,但又不希望他们累坏了身子。矛盾!哈哈哈!

谢谢了,五月天!期待着你们的下一场演唱会!

Night out with the tech dept

First time at a pub with the dept. Known to be the boring aka no life dept for some, I think it’s a great achievement for us to get out of our standard routine for a simple dinner and drinks at Wala Wala. Feels good for such a bonding session. Pity the boss’s down with MC. Candid photos might be up soon, but probably no tagging on facebook. Hahha..

K off to “enjoy” the band’s performance! Such an irony when I seldom listen to English songs. It’s like they know me but I dunno them =)

Marié Digby’s Singapore concert 2009

Have long heard of her, thanks to JKai’s introduction to her youtube video (Stupid For You). Fell in love with that song immediately. Probably ‘coz the song was exactly how I felt at that point of time.

Have not actually followed much on her on youtube. She’s a youtube singer by the way. But I still love that song. Cannot remember how I managed to get hold of her Unfold album though.

When Jerrick posted on plurk that Marié Digby’s coming SG for concert again, I waited no more! Got myself a ticket immediately. Early bird ticket cost about $61.85 GST & booking fee inclusive. Free standing ticket. Doesn’t matter if I might end up going alone. Not going to miss it anymore!

Thankfully, Jerrick’s another fan of hers. hahaha! So I’ve got company!

Ticket stub says 7pm. Was panicking at 5+, I’ve yet found out where on earth The Arena is! Suddenly remembered NLS might be familiar with Clarke Quay area. And thanks to gothere.sg as well. The screenshots are helpful!

When I reached at 6.30pm, I was already the 50-60th person. Wait no more. Singaporeans queue! What else do we know? haha

Finally got admitted into The Arena at 7. Bought myself Marié’s both albums, got the poster for free!

Interestingly, Singaporeans only know how to queue. We were queueing inside The Arena, waiting to be admitted into the concert area. Until the bouncer (or someone else) said “People! You do not need to queue here! Mingle around!” Hahahaha.. And so, Jerrick & I moved to the front, probably the 10-20th.

Inside the concert area, ‘coz early bird ticket holders get the priviledge to enter first, we get to choose where we want to stand.  VERY close to stage we were. 😀

While waiting, English songs were being played. Being a suaku that I am, I couldn’t recognise those songs. I listen to Chinese songs ya? Until I heard Brian McKnight’s Back To One. Never have I felt so familiar with English songs. Just like what I’d posted on plurk, it’s worth celebrating when I can sing along! Muahahhahahaha!

Concert finally started at 8pm. 1.5hrs of standing was starting to kill my legs. By the time the concert ended at 9, my poor legs couldn’t take it any more.

But it was all worth it. Marié sang songs from the first album as well as the newly released second album. Was in joy when she performed the backyard song – Stupid For You. Hahhaha!

Photos will be up when I get them from Jerrick!

Meanwhile.. blur photos from my iPhone.. hahaha

萧贺硕 – 不公平

萧贺硕 – 不公平

走了那么远 发现你不在身边
独自走过了什么 自己都不了解

未来的蓝图应该有�
不该只剩叹息 只是偶尔泪流不停

坚强的理由 只是自己骗自己
你眼中的恐惧 说什么都多余

付出的一切值不值得 永远不会有答案
只有天知道我有多么爱你

一颗心属于一个人 在爱情里什么算公平
爱的深也伤的深 是不是催眠了自己

一颗心属于我自己 爱情里找不到公平
而当你最后选择了逃避 我学会不公平

本来就不公平

======

The original singer is Jenny Yang. Personally I prefer Debbie’s version.

丁当 – 猜不透

词:黄婷 曲:林迈可

猜不透 你最近时好时坏的沉默
我也不想去追问太多
让试探为彼此的心上了锁

猜不透 相处会比分开还寂寞
两个人都只是得过且过
无法感受每次触摸

是真的 是热的

如果忽远忽近的洒脱
是你要的自由
那我宁愿回到一个人生活

如果忽冷忽热的温柔
是你的借口
那我宁愿对你从没认真过

猜不透 相处会比分开还寂寞
两个人都只是得过且过
无法感受每次触摸

是真的 是热的

如果忽远忽近的洒脱
是你要的自由
那我宁愿回到一个人生活

如果忽冷忽热的温柔
是你的借口
那我宁愿对你从没认真过

如果忽远忽近的洒脱
是你要的自由
那我宁愿回到一个人生活

如果忽冷忽热的温柔
是你的借口
那我宁愿对你从没认真过

到底这感觉谁对谁错
我已不想追究
越是在乎的人 越是猜不透

私奔到月球

Thanks to JK, I’m hooked to the song AGAIN! Can’t wait for Aug 29! Mayday concert! woohoo~

And will Cheer be coming to sing this song? I love her singing!!

私奔到月球

作词:阿信 作曲:阿信

其实妳 是个心狠又手辣 的小偷
我的心 我的呼吸和名字 都偷走

你才是 绑架我的兇手 机车后座的我
吹着风 逃离了平庸

这星球 天天有五十亿人 在错过
多幸运 有妳一起看星星 在争寵
这一刻 不再问为什么
不再去猜测人和人 心和心 有什么不同

123 牵着手 456 抬起头
789 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空
让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动

当妳说 太聪明往往还是 会寂寞
我笑着 倾听孤单终结后 的静默
看月亮 像夜空的瞳孔
静静凝视你我 和我们扰攘的星球

靠近妳 怎么突然两个人 都词穷
让心跳 像是野火燎原般 的洶湧
这一刻 让命运也沉默
让腳尖划过天和天 地和地 缘分的宇宙

123 牵着手 456 抬起头
789 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空
让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动

123 牵着手 456 抬起头
789 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空
让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动

123 牵着手 456 抬起头
789 我们私奔到月球
让双脚去腾空
让我们去感受
那无忧的真空 那月色纯真的感动
