a song for someone

if i die now

Friska Viljor - If I Die Now

If I die now all I want from you is to remember
Who I am and who I've always been
If I die now I apologize to you forever
For all the bad things i have done throughout the years
If I die now what is the point of all my memories
It won't be long until they're gone you'll see
If I die now I am so glad that I have met you
All my friends that I've had til the end
The long and cold end comes close
As time it won't ever go slow
If I die now it is not like I have planned it
It was just to much for me to handle right now
If I die now I regret with thing I cannot do
There is so much left for me to wonder about
The long and cold end comes close
As time it won't ever go slow

****
dying happily in this piece =D
****
*Friska Viljor - If I Die Now*

.the land before time

*picture from totalfilm.com*

i got the tape from Winnie or Iris
i forget how many times i've watched this
i cried during the death of Littlefoot's mother
i remember how much i dislike Sharptooth
i like the story
i like the ending theme
i love the little friendships
and how the parents protect their little ones

#if we hold on together
i know our dreams will never die
dreams see us through to forever
where clouds roll by
for you and i#

*song of the moment: Diana Ross - If We Hold On Together*

flash back - leehom

02 May 2009
04 of us went to 01 concert
together with other 20,000 people
for plenty of reasons
for 01 man
we arrived quite early
the only thing that we can do were to take pictures

10 years back
people take bus or drive to watch concert
parents might drop you off at the venue, then might pick you up after the concert
younger audiences might not afford to watch it
some parents will not pay for their kids
parents will not watch with the kids just to accompany them
we hardly see youngsters below 12 watching concert
if your parents intended to join you, your answer would be NOWAY

present
people take public transports to watch concert, or drive
parents drop you off at the venue and WAIT for you till the concert ends
younger audiences might afford to watch it
most of the parents will pay for their kids
parents will buy tickets PURPOSELY to watch together with the kids
we saw infants at the venue
parents HAVE TO go with kids due to the social safety problem today

and we see Ah Mah with her grandsons
sometimes it's good to have family gathering during concerts
and together with thousands of people
Ah Mah Ah Gong need to squeeze themselves together with the younger generations
just to see someone they might not even know
they have the stamina
for the sake of their grandchildren

funfair
look at the neon
how attractive
10 years back
i think the only moving machines
were Ferris wheel and Marry-go-round
today we have those adventurous exciting rides
which we only can play in themepark previously we curi curi snap photo

million thanks to Heng Mun
our seats were great! ^^
saw my ex-colleagues there too =)
happy happy

i love the stage presentation
and also the theme
i think is the best among the concerts that i have watched

we see very cartoonised animations
featuring leehom the Music Man
the unforgettable things/parts were:

• 巴哈姆特 the tailor made guitar from Ireland (the artist was at the concert too!)

• DC Comic & Marvel superheroes on-screen presentation with the synchronization of their respective music scores (then final one was Music-Man haha)
• the concert's theme (very well presented!!)
• when he sings "如果你听见我的歌"

this was the opening

this was when he sang "落叶归根”

piano performance

his magic tricks where he disappeared in a box on the stage
then re-appeared in the middle of the field (surrounded by audiences)
wan xian, chwee ling and ai leen lost control because of this ^^

chwee ling.ai leen.wan xian

带着依依不舍的心情。。。

frankly speaking

how many 10 years one would have with friends?
10 years ago
when i was in F3 and they're in F5 (ai leen, chwee & another 2)
we went to watch Leehom's collaboration with KLSO
we booked the tickets
then we asked ai leen's mum to pick it up for us
cause we need to go to school
so her mum went to J.W.Marriott hotel to collect the tics
wah
auntie not only see him near near
she shook hand with him summore!!
our OS: zou jee we ponteng and go collect tickets la

what i remember were:
- we sat very far from the stage, summore need to twist our head to left then only can watch
- 5 of us went PWTC with kancil
- we used retro cameras to take pictures, the outcome need not mention
the clearest one was our own group photo
- he sang julia (with violin), 不可能错过你, when u wish upon a star, 如果你听见我的歌
and etc.
- my fav were all of the songs *shy*
- the lights on stage were purple purple blue blue
- the way he held his microphone were special
- his sport shoe... a skeleton feet on the base, can spot the shoe from his 不可能错过你 album
- mr. Eric Lee was the conductor and KLSO was awesome
- he sang 打开爱 written by Jay Chou. I still dunno Jay Chou in 1999
- he loves to shake his butt ^^
... cant recall anymore right now
click here to watch some clips from this particular concert in 1999.
yesterday
he mentioned about his concert with KLSO
me and ai leen went like "errrrr...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!"
so happy =D
i think i love his old songs more =)
we were kind of disappointed cause he didnt sing 情敌贝多芬，julia，梦想被冷冻...
the violin solo of "when you wish upon a star" was very tempting

too many thoughts to be jotted down
very lazy to continue
1999 vs 2009
i love both
^^

Butterfly Hunting

and Photo-Shopping on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday afternoon eight young people went, armed with a digital camera, to hunt for butterflies in the windows of Bold Street shops. Later they attempted to photograph items inside the shops of a specific colour, in an activity called ‘Photo-Shopping.

This was all part of FACT’s Gallery Workshop which was led by artist John O’Shea. The young people were introduced to the mechanics of digital photography and were also shown a traditional slideshow.

It was suggested that the young people should use the cameras as a device for ‘capturing’ - in the same way as an explorer might use a butterfly net.

When they had finished exploring and capturing the young people returned and uploaded the images to Flickr and were able to do their own digital slideshow of what they had collected.

*song of the moment: Jewel - Thump, Thump*

.the heart never lies

Some People Laugh
Some People Cry
Some People Live
Some People Die
And Some People Run
Right into the Fire
And Some People Hide
Their Every Desire

But We Are The Lovers
If You Don’t Believe Me
Then Just Look Into My Eyes
Cause The Heart Never Lies

Some People Fight
Some People Fall
Others Pretend
They Don’t Care At All
If You Wanna Fight
I’ll Stand Right Beside You
The Day That You Fall
I’ll Be Right Behind You

To Pick Up The Pieces
If You Don’t Believe Me
Just Look Into My Eyes
Cause The Heart Never Lies

Woahhh x 2

Another Year Over
And Were Still Together
It’s Not Always Easy
But I’m here Forever

Yeah We Are The Lovers
I Know You Believe Me
When You Look Into My Eyes
Cause The Heart Never Lies
Cause The Heart Never Lies
Cause The Heart Never Lies

some songs.

There are some songs tat i love to abuse recently. Haha, not in my winamp, but youtube. =P


Jason Mraz!!!! I like his songs and his voice! Not forget to mention bout his musical talent~~ I knew him from the song "The Remedy". So special ler his songs, especially the melody. "You and I Both" is a fun song. haha. Other than these two songs, i like this "Mr. Curiosity" and "Absolutely Zero", which are two much more legato ones.




Yuna Ito's "Truth", both live and PV version. The PV was shot in Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland. So damn nice the scenes. The interior of the castle too. TSK. We didnt enter the castle as we bought the 3-day-pass for some tourism spots in Scotland, and yet Eilean Donan castle was excluded. CIS! So sayang. The live acoustic version of "Truth" oso very the nice. Yuna Ito's range of voice is soooo high. Btw, her live quite good. =) My first song of Yuna Ito is "Endless Love", from the movie "NANA". I prefer her ballads. Haha, a source from Wiki says that :

• She is friends with Hawaiian J-pop singer melody., Angela Aki, Mika Nakashima, and AI
• Angela Aki and Ito attended the same Japanese language school.

They are good in singing. =)



Er, i like this Italian song, it's called "Cinque giorni", means "5 days". The version that I have in my winamp was sung by Laura Pausini, in both Italian and Spanish version. So nice ler this song. I prefer Laura Pausini's compare to this duet. She has a song called "Yo Canto", which literally means "I Song" in Spanish. Italian version is "Io Canto". If not mistaken, it means "I SING" in both languages. Hehe. My first Laura Pausini song was "Se ami sai", oso very the nice. =)


This is Yo Canto. =) Live version.


Cheer 陈绮贞's "旅行的意义" is another of my fav recently. So meaningful and the overall composition of this song is very nice. Especially when you're playing it in the player while walking to a place or traveling. Just downloaded the acoustic version of this song. I like both. The acoustic version was released before the one that i used to listen to (the symphonic ver). I like 陈绮贞 since form 2 or 3. I started to know her from two of her songs, "让我想一想" and "微凉的你". Her voice is so soft and best accompanied by guitar or piano. I think 张静初 from the movie "Protege" looks a lot like 陈绮贞. =P


Robbie William version of My Way. So nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

voices + melodies

Hmm. There're a lot of voices that i admire. Feel like sharing info bout this singer here. She's
有里知花, Yuri Chika. I think da first song that allows me approach closer to her voice is
---世界中であなただけ---, which literally means "Just you in the world". Or maybe this wasnt her first song that i've listened to, but it certainly is a song that 'entices' me to her voice + music. XD

Da intro of this song already is a value added one. Hmm... I dunno how to describe. HAHAHA, cuz my english suckz, apatah lagi those noun/adj for music. It's like...when u're listening to da song, u will hav a feeling tat you're floating/flying in the air~ No kidding. Hehe. Or mayb i interpreted this together with the lyric? haha. There's this phrase of music, which is da chorus. Also, that's the only part in the song tat i understand. Haha, cuz the rest were written in japanese.


#If i were a bird, i would fly to you

i wann fly to you but i don't have any wings

if only my wish would come true, i would say to you

in this world, there is no one else but you#

There's a bridge b4 the last-time-chorus. It's quite similar with da 2nd verse of the song, however with ornaments. So that brings da climaxs to da whole song, and then... FLY with the chorus. haha. This song was composed by her, as well as the lyric part. Cool~ Da arrangement's oso nice nice. Other than Rie Fu, i think her english is quite good among japanese singers. =)
Here are some info bout how ppl commented bout her.


有里知花音乐世家

出身于音乐世家，3岁始学习钢琴，逐渐开始作曲。中学时参加“English Drama Club”。从古典音乐到音乐剧，用自己的歌声和舞蹈来表现。现在大学英语专业毕业，喜欢到一切接触到大海的活动，这已经成为她音乐创作的源泉。去年开始有里知花开始学习中文。 2001年7月，大学在读期间由东芝EMI发行单曲<花>，并以此成名。 Yuri Chika1981年5月1日出生于Yakohama的一个音乐世家，3岁开始学钢琴，并且学会了自己作曲。幼年时曾多次到访Hawaii，Hawaii温暖而又美丽的海令她流连往返。在她的音乐中常常可以感受到一股浓郁宜人的Hawaii风情，清凉的海水、温柔的海风依稀可见。2000年8月，有理知花的首张单曲CD《I Cry》在日本发行，其反响不但遍步全日本，还波及到了海外，在Hawaii更是创下了点播率的新高。同年11月，由Hawaii著名音乐制作人Kenneth Makuakane为她度身定作的首张专辑《Hana花》也接踵而至，很快就得到了多方的关注，迅速等上了电台点播率第一的位置。 有理知花多次到过中国，其中两次到过广州。在广州中山大学，她受到大学生的热烈欢迎。 的确，寂寞无人的夜，听Yuri Chika温暖动人的声音，将是一种特别的享受。

And there's another article, which's about "治疗系" music, that was related with Yuri Chika as well.

在日本流行乐坛上“治疗系”音乐曾引起好一阵时间的热卖，被生活、工作或是学业压的喘不过气来的21世纪人类，正好被这样的音乐给吸引。从’99年钢琴大师土反本龙一的“BTTB”演奏音乐开始，这股抚慰人心的音乐风潮就从未间段过。但最近“治疗系”的音乐已渐渐在日本退潮，根据日本娱乐指针性刊物《日经娱乐2003年10月号》的报导指出因为大家渐渐发觉虽然治疗系音乐可以抚慰心灵，但是如果有那种“只有‘治疗’是不够的！还要‘解压’才会更舒服”的音乐，才是更治本的方法。于是从健康食品开始大量以“解压”为诉求的产品纷纷推出，而各唱片公司则是不约而同地开始推出一系列所谓的“解压系”音乐。其中最成功的“女子十二乐坊”以解压音乐创造销售近百万张纪录。而今年以翻唱南方之星畅销曲《海啸》而在台湾的电台强力放送，引起一股解压风潮的日本女歌手“有里知花”，以轻柔舒服的歌声搭上了这股风潮。
