Song Recommendation: August 2009

Title: Nobody
Artiste: Wonder Girls
Album: The Wonder Years — Trilogy

I want Nobody Nobody but You! *Clap clap….

Their age range from 17 to 20, yet these 5 young Korean girls had already released 4 albums and this song is actually their third #1 hit single. There was a huge sensation when this number was first released last year online in the original Korean version. And this year, their record company made a wise choice to release an English one, breaking into the US market. Now, it can be played officially on radio! They are everywhere!!

I had to admit this is an amazing song. The tune itself is so catchy, even my 7-year-old cousin recognizes it when it was played on TV. And of course, their dance moves…..with the clap clap. Who wouldn’t remember?

Set to release their first FULL English album soon after their current tour. They ain’t coming to the Lion City tho. This single is really hot on all radio channels here and could probably be taking over the throne for this year’s hit song. I am waiting to see how it will do on the charts. Most pple would prefer the Korean version, me included, cuz there are a few notes that are seriously OFF on the Eng version, probably due to their uneasiness with the language. And, btw, I heard the Eng version was recorded line by line in the studio. But then, mind you, they are Korean singers, it isn’t easy.

Do u think Stefanie Sun can sing Jap???

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

I am a Final Year Student!

*Clap* MisterLyon is a Final Year Student!

So Yr 4 sem 1 starts today.....

Sent poor Angela to sch, terrible sore throat but she still hanging on. Wonder how she gonna teach tuition later. Hope she get well soon :)

Crashed Victor's module today, MA1100, can't imagined there were 180 SM2 students, means confirmed cannot score le. haha...all the PRCs taking this mod as part of their bridging course. A lot of mathematical proving required. Can't find any reason for me to keep this mod, so most likely taking MA1421. Looks better to me, like repeating MA1505 which is pretty gd. Can recap differentiation and integration, double, triple..watever...Was a bit worried abt my cap for lvl 1 mods, but Jolene said there isn't any cap. Was really glad. I don't have any S/U to fall back on. Though Space and Health looks appealing to me....but, I have to maintain my honor class, so falling back on Maths to help me out this last sem..

好歌推荐： 09 年 6 月

歌曲名称：在树上唱歌
歌手姓名：郭静
专辑名称：在树上唱歌

好喜欢去年她那首《下一个天亮》，今年的她剪了一头亮丽短发，让人眼前一亮，甜而不腻的歌声再次让歌迷们听出耳油。延续之前的情歌路线，这张新专辑里自然少不了大家熟悉的纯爱情歌。
首波主打歌《在树上唱歌》里那轻快的民谣节奏配上她那甜蜜的歌声，让人仿佛看见一个光着脚丫坐在树上哼着歌曲的女孩，把疲惫的心情都驱走了。或许是因为郭静尚未跳出“纯爱”的框框， 因此新专辑没有给我带来惊喜。有的只是单纯、甜美的嗓音。但有几首都会是很好K的。非常期待她下一张专辑的成长。。

不想对每件事都那么严格 弄得全世界好像只剩挫折

爱一朵花不猜它能开多久 放宽的心情 把什么都变美了

Dilemma

I am at a loss at my FYP choices, I really don't know what I shd do. Have been pondering over this for a week, looking at the project descriptions over and over again. Also, partly this allocation is most likely based on CAP, and mine isn't high, so in the end, I may not even get what I really wanted to do. So luck plays a part! Its true, to some extent.. Some profs have really great projects, but I dun really like the profs.

Lots of stuff coming up...

1. ESE camp, something which I am still trying to get myself involved. Just came back from o/s, then a lot of stuff still unsure. So trying to find out as much as I can cuz it is like 6-7 days to the actual camp, a bit rush...and also Meiy is busy with her work and esesc stuff. Its really tiring to cope with two impt issues on your hand.

2. NYAA. I am lagging behind. Actually I am almost giving this thing up, but a part of me tells me that it is still possible. Shd I do boccia for the service section? I can go for it, but I can't seem to avoid Jeralyn. Jerry said to heck care, but can I? I am really bad at handling social relationship stuff. Some pple can do certain things easily, but I can't.

3. Grad dinner. Hope everything goes well, currently there is still some time cuz we still have abt three wks or so.

Am trying to meet up with some friends these few weeks. A certain portion of my luggage is still unpacked. And I am still having problems with my sleep, so now I can feel easily tired at abt 7-9pm, and then I can only fall aslp like 5am in the morning.

Waiting for my transcript to reach nus, then I can continue with my mapping....

Hoping to go nearby for a short vacation before sch starts, but then the flu issue is getting serious over here. An increasing rate of 100 cases everyday, moh is gg to come up with some serious advisory soon.....

Its the end of June, half a yr has passed just like tat, and there is not a single song tat can actually hold the top of the charts for more than 2 wks. Perhaps, that phenomenon song hasnt arrived yet....

2 continents, 4 countries, 8 cities, over 35,000 miles....Finally Back!!

Woah, gd weather for me, esp today when I just arrived back home. It is about to rain, so its quite cooling...

Once again, *thumbs up for Singapore Airlines for their great service and food. The last and final flight back home was my own record broken. My first non stop 15 Hours flight to Hongkong was a challenge, slept, eat, watch movies...thats the routine in my little space of mine on the window seat. The last 4 hrs back home was nothing, with the hope of reaching hometown very soon got me perked up.

Stirfried chicken with chilli-black bean sauce, seasonal vegetables and steamed rice

Then, Scrambled egg with chicken sausage, baked beans and potatoes (My Favourite)

Lots to blog about...photos of London and Paris soon...needs rest! MisterLyon is finally feeling tired... yawnz....Its only 5pm now....Jet lag.

French Cuisine

Had dinner with Wang Qi today, since it was my last dinner in Paris.

We were at the restaurant for like 3 hrs, just like what French pple like to do, have their dinner slowly and enjoying it till midnight..

We had lots to catch up, then she mentioned something out of nowhere.....something which made me ponder for a while on my way back, because I told myself not to think abt it anymore.

In London

Currently in Central London, living in Swinton Hotel (nothing to do with Swine Flu btw)...lol

Arrived late last night at Heathrow, it was 9pm and the sky was still so bright, kind of surprised, but it gets dark easily after that....The 12 hrs flight was long but I was very glad to choose my favourite Air Canada for this trip. I love this airline, other than SIA, this is the by far the best airline in terms of in-flight entertainment and service. I love the airline logo too!

The room I am living right now is very small, don't even have space to move freely. But accomodation to me is not very important, cuz I will be out hunting for tourist atttractions most of the time...like right now....

Photos soon!

Multi-Emo

225am now, I am lying not on my bed, but on the sleeping bag. The rented furnitures were returned today, together with the chairs. And I have sold my tables. Now my room is so empty that I can easily hear echoes. Eerie~~

Packed my luggages le, but may exceed by 1 bag. And I realize I have one baggage full of presents!! How did that happen? I didnt realize I bought so much. How many pple actually asked me to help them get branded stuff? I told KL mei just now that if too heavy, I might sacrifice her Sephora! haha, no lar, Uncle 不敢！:p

Hopefully I get past Engineering Professionalism, it wasn't difficult, considering I went through the qns and answered them within 20 mins. I knew abt 20 out of 35. So the rest tikam! Tikam fill in the blanks qns....Like the prof said, if u know it, u know it. If can't get it, dun bother. Quite true, at least for this module, have to memorise the theories! I'll be thrilled with a B.

Today's pre-statistics was a breeze, yippee, one last paper on Thur, Statistics!

My roommate went off without cleaning her room and helping out in the cleaning of the house. So bu zi dong! Inconsiderate pple, haiz, enough of her....
Arms are aching, just finished washing the toilet. Ya, MisterLyon realize that US toilets are more difficult to wash compared to those in Sg...

Tmr engaged carpet cleaning services for the house, required by agent and the tenants have to pay....$135 for whole house, 3 bedroom, 1 living rm, 1 stairs...

Zzzz.....after 2 days of insufficient slp....

Last week in Santa Cruz!

Exams Mon, Tue & Thur..but I seem to be really slacking, so must buck up these few days.

Sighz, first to hit me will be Engineering Professionalism! :(
Just hope that Gene will have mercy on us, lol

Flying off on Thurs night, another 5500 miles, looking forward to tat =)

Last phase

I went to have my last haircut today in Santa Cruz and it was done by a Vietnamese girl. Went into the salon because there were no one around and I thought this would be a quick one. She knew I wasn't a local and told me she came from Vietnam and is still studying in College. We had a good chat and I told her I would be leaving soon. When asked abt her summer plans, she said she had no money to return home to see her family.

I felt really fortunate. Some people had to leave their hometown and work part time to support her family and studies. This is one kind of person I really admired. I don't think I would choose to go so far away to work next time.

Really missed Singapore and the hot weather..hahaz..

Counting down:

8 days to Exams...
12 days to London...
15 days to Paris....
Less than 20 days to ta-da!
