The Day I Post CRAZY Lyrics

Crazy - Patsy Cline

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new

Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wond'ring what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you

I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying

And I'm crazy for loving you.

The Day After C.R.A.Z.Y & The Day We Celebrated Racial Harmony Day

Watched C.R.A.Z.Y yesterday. Bawled my eyes out at the end. It's a really good movie. You should catch it before it's over. Oh wiat, today's the last day of screening. Don't worry, there's always the DVD. Haha...

Racial Harmony Day was so fun today! My cotume garnered so much attention... Had so many random people asking me to take photos with them. Shall post some here after I get them yeah...

The Day After CHMA 2006

CHMA 2006 was a blast!

Had a really good time watching and performing this year. Younger contestants are making their way to the finals and winning this thing, which is a fantabulous. Last night's overall winner was a Sec 1 instrumentalist Derek Koh who played the yang qing and left us all in awe.

Marcus and I sang "Right Here Waiting" twice last night, the second time because of a special request by Mrs Chaillan (pronounced shay-lawn. It's French), one of the judges on the panel, who was my ex-music teacher and current vice-principal of Catholic High (Primary).

Thanks to God, everything went smoothly.

Many thanks to all the crew-members of the iMedia who put so much time and effort in preparing for the show, the contestants for their undying musical passion, Kong Meng for his piano accompaniment, and the teachers who invited Marcus and I back to Cat High for a guest-performance slot.

After 4 consecutive years, I guess last night was my last performance at CHMA for the forseeable future. The feeling of seeing this show develop from it's very initial concept, being part of it as a contestant to and alumni member, and watching it play out so beautifully again last night, is impossible to describe.

Here's a nice a'capella video of an all-Asian group called At Last who are contestants of America's Got Talent. They're really good.



The Brandy-Piers banter is priceless.
Brandy blandy! Haha...

The Day I Talk About Class Politics

I once said that my class was the most peaceful and loving bunch of Hippies, but I'm afraid I'd have to eat my own words now.

Cos it's not.

There's bitching and gossip and rumours about so and so and whatnot. Hell, even I got involved in a high-profile "bitch-fight". But that's long over so let's not dwell on that. What I'm trying to say is, hating and beating-the-crap-out-of-each-other-even-though-not-literally-cos-you're-doing-it-behind-each-other's-backs is not healthy.

If there are any disagreements or anything that you feel that you're uncomfortable with, why don't you just talk it out like sensible adults?

Class politics can be prevented. Just find the person you have beef with, sit down (or you could stand up), and talk it out. It's not easy, I know, but it's the better of two alternatives. Nobody likes conflicts. Nobody likes awkward moments. Why make our own lives in school more miserable than it already is?

Make love, not war. Like the old Chinese saying goes, it's "always better to have a friend than to have one more enemy". Isn't it?

The Day I Saw A Parent Slap A Child

This was what I saw during dinner at a food court today:

Toddler: *cries*
Mother: You cry somemore I slap you again ah!
Toddler: *cries somemore*
Mother: YOU AH!*slaps child*

Here's the deal: When you have a kid, go for parenting lessons. Or else, don't have one. Do you really think a toddler (about 1-2 years old) will understand you when you just slap him/her? What kind of parent are you if you just keep doing that?

I mean, I'm all for corporeal punishment, but if only used sparingly like when a kid is misbehaving or needs to be disciplined to do the right thing. And slapping without explanation is not a way to use it.

The Day I Read The Five People You Meet In Heaven

I've just finished The Five People You Meet In Heaven and I think I should share this. It's really heart-warming and gives you a different perspective on death and afterlife.

Go get the book and you'll know what I mean.

The Day I Got To Wake Up Without Mummy Screaming In My Ear

It's wonderful to be able to wake up without Mummy screaming me awake. See, this is the usual drill for every single day of my holidays:

(Translated from mandarin)
"IT'S 9 ALREADY YOU BETTER GET OUT OF BED OR ELSE YOU WON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO STUDY WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!"

Well, it's something along those lines, and she's usually bluffing about the time. If she says it's 9, it's most probably 8.30, and it's not like I don't have an alarm clock by my bedside you know. Anway, enough about my lovely morning (and mummy-"bashing", in case she sees this. I secretly think she found my blog).

Nothing very interesting happened today, but that's actually a really good thing. Now I gotta go wreck my brains about the song Marcus and I should perform for CHMA '06.

On the note of CHMA '06, please do drop me a message soon as to how many tickets you guys want. I need to confirm the numbers latest by Monday.

117 days to the A's...

The Day Leonid The Magnificant Hit Me In The Face (Well, Not Literally)

There's this new show in the States and it's called America's Got Talent. From my previous entry (the one with the 11-year-old Bianca Ryan), you can see that America's got some talent alright. But here's something that puzzles me:

Simon Cowell, acid-tongued judge of American Idol fame, is the Executive Producer and brainchild of the show. And he picks former anorexic pin-up girl Brandy and David "lao tiko" Hasselhoff of Baywatch fame as 2 of the 3 the judges (the last guy's Piers Morgan, some British show-host and newspaper editor) for the show? Brandy and Hasselhoff. (Hasselhoff better be grateful, seeing how he's got not much of a career post-Baywatch.)

With a line-up of judges like that, you can expect some weird judges picks.

Here's a guy who calls himself Leonid The Magnificant.

Apparently, he's some queen from the New York night scene who migrated to the States from Sickle-&-Hammer Land (aka Russia). Odd guy, with even odder antics.

Enjoy...



Blandy's really got no clue about the fine line between entertainment and acts-of-stupidity (ie playing with swords on national tv and almost killing yourself).

The Day I Shot Hoops With Shaun

Went over to Shaun's place after lunch to shoot some hoops today. It's been quite some time since we had a heart to heart talk, and shooting hoops was a good way to have a conversation. Can't say that it wasn't nice to have a long chat with my good friend. Kinda missed talking to him, actually.

119 days to the A levels...

The Day I Fell In Love... With Sudoku

I'm in love with Sudoku!
It's so addictive I tell you...

Here's a nice vid of Mariah's performance of "Fly Like A Bird" during this year's Grammy's. It's my favourite song from her The Emancipation of Mimi album:

The Day I Get Completly Floored By An 11-Year-Old

Oh. My. God.

This little girl will put Singapore Idol contestants to shame.

Seriously.

She's only 11.

The Day I Fell For A Damien Rice Song

Here are the lyrics to a funny, weird song....
Go figure out what the lyrics mean..
Don't ask me cos I have no idea either.

"Woman Like A Man" by Damien Rice

The Day I Went For Homecoming Day

Went at Cat High for Homecoming Day ie Family Day today. Wasn't as bad as I'd expected it to be, and I met many of my old teachers. It felt odd to be back, cos the place looked so different from when I graduated, but it was still nice visiting nonetheless.

3 more papers to go, and it's a short break before commencing my preperation for the prelims.

124 days to the A Levels...

The Day I Finished The 1st Econs Mid-Year Paper

Econs was pretty ok. Thank God.

Me, Kitson, Jok, Anita, Mel and Kia Puay went to have Tom Yum at the Tom Yum place after that and we talked about really weird stuff.

First it was body hair, then we got into more detailed stuff like armpit hair, facial hair, leg hair, whether waxing is better or shaving, Vit or no Vit, and that sort of thing. Subsequently, we got into moles, like how many we've got, and what moles at the different points of our body meant and yadda yadda yadda.

They were very personal topics, but it was strangely interesting though. Heh.

127 more days to the A's... *sigh*
Having my Lit paper tomorrow.
Back to the books!

The Day I Talk About Disney Cartoons & Disney Songs

While we were coming out of the cinema from watching the Pixar animated film, Cars, my little cousin Xavier, six, asked me this question, "Liwei kor kor, why are the Disney songs not nice anymore?"

Well, I wanted to reply, cos Pixar's cartoons are just distributed by Disney and are therefore, not exactly Disney cartoons, so you can't expect them to have nice songs. But he wouldn't have understood me anyway, so I said,"Why don't you grow up to be a nice song-writer and write nice songs forDisney cartoons next time?"

I smiled and turned around to his sister, Shelia, nine, and said, "Don't you think so?"
She just smiled back.

After sending the kids home, I pondered about his quesion for a little longer. Then I thought, hey, that little kid is right. Disney doesn't have nice songs in their cartoons anymore. Heck, they don't even produce decent cartoons anymore. Have they really lost it?

History of Disney Animation & Music
When Walt Disney's first animation feature, Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs was first released 1937, it contained songs that were inspired from the era of the 1930s, which were still styled pretty classically. Think opera and you'll know what I mean. Then in 1940, the classic Disney film, Fantasia was premiered. It was very creative and appealing because orchestra masterpieces of the grandfathers of classical music, from Bach to Beethoven, were reinterpreted by artists into different animated shorts that told many fantasy-themed stories. The music was beautiful and the art was equally magnificent.

In 1967, a blues-inspired film, The Jungle Book, was released. This movie was also the one which introduced the world to two of the timeless Disney classics, "Bare Necessities" and "I Wanna Be Like You".

Success & Downfal & Uphill climb (again)
The movie that began Disney's decade-long period of successful animated movies premiered in the late 80s. The Little Mermaid, which came out in 1989, grossed over US$200 million worldwide. Subsequently, hits like Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, Hercules, Mulan and Tarzan were churned out from Disney's studios.

These movies also spurned Disney hits like "Beauty and The Beast", "A Whole New World", "Can You Feel The Love Tonight", "Colours of the Wind" and "Reflection", to name a few.

In the late 90s (I'm sure all of you remember), began Disney's downhill topple from "top animation studio". It began producing what we would affectionately call a "chain of flops", from The Emperor's New Groove to Atlantis: The Lost Empire. Remember the cringe-worthy Lilo & Stitch in 2001? Not only did the music suck (think Taiwanese now-defunct boyband F4), the movie was half-baked, uninspired and unappealing, to say the least.

Late last year, a little chicken began Disney's revival. Chicken Little was not fantabulous, but it was a good start, other than the fact that the whole "mai-ya-hee-mai-ya-hoo" from the stupid chicken dance adverts was irritating the shit out of every sane person.

Pixar's Help & Future of Disney
Thank God for Pixar.

By merely distributing the renowned digital animation studio's movies, it has saved their butts countless times. While they were busy making crap that is Brother Bear and the unforgettable (not in a good way) Home on the Range, Pixar's toys, bugs, monsters, fish and even superheroes raked in big money and awards.

So I guess getting poorer by US$7.4 billion's worth it.
(PS: If you don't already know, they paid that price to buy Pixar over)

Now, let's just hope that they can start making good music again. To start, they could seek help from Alan Menken (composer of songs from The Little Mermaid, Beauty and The Beast, Aladdin, Pocahontas etc) again.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

By the way, Cars was really good. What will Disney do without Pixar? Heh.

The Day The Cardinal Came To Singapore

Last night's mass:
Served mass at The Cathedral last evening for the Cardinal's mass that celebrated 25 years of diplomatic ties between the Republic Singapore and the Vatican. There was also the unveiling of the statue of the late Pope John Paul II. There were like 40 priests from all the parishes in Singapore and several bishops from around the region. It felt amazing just to be there... Because it was a mass celebrated by the Cardinal (and the presence of one of our minister's, George Yeo), there were hordes of cameramen. Cue constant and irritating flashes.

And Jevon appeared on the Channel 5 9pm news because of that! Haha... So much for 5 seconds of fame.

Last night's Singapore Idol
And I just watched the performances of the final seven Singapore Idol contestant's that I missed last night, of which, one girl who sang a Christina Aguilera song really stood out. And I don't mean it in a good way.

The judges were so obviously biased towards her, giving her positive comments and all.

Moral of the story: When you don't have a big enough voice, don't sing a song that's too big for you. You'll end up screwing it and make the home viewers squirm in their seats.

Well, on a lighter note, there was a really outstanding performer from last night's seven, who sang Aretha Franklin's Chain Of Fools. She was the type of girl who could handle such "big-voiced" songs. Fingers crossed that she gets through.

I just hope that Singpore's not deaf.

The Day I Talk About Mugging & It's Benefits

Mugging for exams should be banned. No, seriously. Not only does it breed a whole new generation of bookwormish and unintelligent "intellectual" leaders of the future, it also turns the bunch of us into mindfucked and pickled-brain zombies.

Not that I should be making a big deal out of this cos the education system has been like this since the dawn of mankind (or should I say, "Singaporean-kind") and that I should live with it.

The Day Anthony Comes To Singapore

Yup, you've heard me right.

Another one of my Indonesian cousins is in Singapore for a holiday.
He's Anthony, and he's 1 year younger than me.

Haven't seen this kid in bout 4 years and now he's taller than me.

They all HAVE to be taking something I don't know about, don't they? Some grow-tall pill or growth-spurt injection? Right?

Well,will somebody PLEASE get me a grow-tall pill cos I desperately need one! All of my younger cousins (with the exception of the primary school kids, but someday soon... Just you wait.) are growing taller than me! I feel so, erm, under-endowed (if there's even such a word)...

139 more days to the A Levels.... Bleargh... *nervous nausea*

Oh yes, MY BITCH IS BACK FROM THE UK!
I'm so happy... :D
