好歌推荐： 09 年 2 月

歌曲名称： 话太普通

歌手姓名：农夫

专辑名称：富甲天下

他们作多元代的尝试，终于在08年底发行压轴专辑《富甲天下》，全碟以教人心境豁达即是富有为主题。农夫的歌曲常常和歌迷们分享生活体验， 这次以日本经典动画《星仔走天涯》主题曲的广东歌词为序曲，Rap出了世人不要将钱财看得太重的心声， 适逢金融海啸推出此曲，喻意更浓。《话太普通》这首单曲还有台湾阿霈乐团主音季欣霈在旁协助，时事融入新歌中，轻松幽默的歌词表达小人物的心声。

太普通的话， 你是否说得出？

Chinatown CNY Parade

Went out with the same SEP gang last Saturday to the San Francisco Chinatown CNY Parade organised by the school. I have never seen any overseas parade before, so I thot it would be an eye-opening experience. My 2nd trip to this big city, so I decided to hang around the Chinatown area for most of the time. The overwhelming crowd brings back lots of memory cuz I used to visit Smith Street every yr, one of the busiest roads in Singapore Chinatown during the festive season.

Then we went to dim sum restaurant to have lunch, it was so crowded that we have to stand and wait for the next available table. Nevertheless, it was a worth waiting cuz the food was really delicious and we don't have much of these in Santa Cruz anyway...

Pork Rib Rice

My favourite Siew Mai & 纸包鸡

Full and satisfied!

At about 530pm, we started to 'chop' a place at the parade area so that we can have a great view. Was quite disappointed with the parade, somehow the CNY mood is different here. Got a video below....Singapore Chingay better ba...

The Chinatown Gate

Song Recommendation: February 2009

Title: Mad
Artiste: Ne-Yo
Album: Year Of The Gentleman

Is this his route to RnB superstardom? This dude is so in demand right at the moment, in fact, I think he has found a way to distinguish himself from the pack by offering something different this time round. This is the 3rd single released from his 3rd album and I just love the way he can write music which everybody can relate to. One of his best sentimental introspective midtempo ballads I believe. The teary piano tinkles in the background throughout the song together with his high-hat rhythm, contrasting the lyrics about him wanting to make up with his girlfriend. The main theme of this song: Arguments are not worthwhile in the long run.

Btw, I give this song 4.5 out of 5 leaves....
