林宥嘉 - 另一个自己

曲:宋念宇(小宇)词:施人诚


我发射我的歌当作讯号
去找你或被你找到
我升起我的梦当成座标
去导引你前来拥抱

不同的脸孔但同步心跳同一套细胞

我就是你你就是我另一个自己
我在这里你在哪里哪天能相遇
你寂寞吗
(我就是你你就是我)

不被谁了解有什黱重要
这世界上有你就好

不同的姓名但同样渺小又同样骄傲

我就是你你就是我另一个自己
是因为你才不哭泣不怀疑自己
我很努力为了让你看得起自己
你知道吗





林宥嘉 - 感同身受

曲:skot suyama 词:林夕


有谁流过眼泪请说
有谁没有哭过请说
你怎黱能挨过如果那个是我
可能比你更失落

我想说每个人都差不多
不一样的血肉之躯在痛苦快乐面前
我们都是平起平坐
全世界的脉搏(像你像我)
让我们用心抚摸(是你是我)
别人的眼泪随时来自你和我的双眼
有那黱多人在寂寞就没有人寂寞

有谁曾经要死要活
想像连呼吸也很难过
给我会怎黱做有同样的遭遇
是否有相同结果

我想说每个人都差不多
不一样的血肉之躯在痛苦快乐面前
我们都是平起平坐
在同一本小说(像你像我)
主角无分你我(是你是我)
别人的遗憾当中看到自己犯过的错
有那黱多人在寂寞就没有人寂寞

那些笑容都是为了甚黱
那些折磨是怎黱样解脱
有人快乐我们都会快乐
有人寂寞谁还敢说寂寞

Sigh.

Alright,
read, reflected upon and digested.

Just so you know.

I typed and typed.
But i thought, there really isn't a point fighting a case like this.
I could whine and defend and in turn throw judgements back.
But as nat quoted on his blog:

"An eye for an eye, makes the world go blind" - Ghandi

First Video on Aiptek!!!

I DID IT!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

YOU CAN EVEN WATCH IT IN HD!

And you can see my moles.
Which, I never noticed until watching the video myself.
That's far too much details on such a mini thing.

You go see for yourself lor. *shy*

Iknow what you're thinking....

I've really been grappling with the idea of how I should be as a brand ambassador or the artiste endorser of a product. First there was sony, and then there was a pimple cream.

I count my blessings. =)

People judge and think that artistes are rich because of all these, but really, we only put ourselves through this because it gives us fuel and the power to keep walking this path, to keep making music.

Because it takes moolah to make an album, it takes moolah to make things move and get going. And yes, believe it or not, 99 percent of the time, it takes moolah to make good music.

So I'm really thankful for the trust, and the support that I've been rendered as a struggling singer in this aspect, from my company and from the recent collaboration with IKnow ....

Iknow, not pronounced as "eek-now" but rather as "I Know" is like the wide umbrella parent company of the electronic dictionary many of us have used in our schooling days! Well, I did. I had a chinese dictionary called Besta and other than using it to help me with my lousy chinese, I also used it constantly for the Reversi game it had on it.

I'm not a good example lar, so don't learn from me. I always pretend to be checking out chinese words on the dictionary, but really I'm just fighting it out with the machine on a game of Reversi.

Shit, I digressed. Anyway, Iknow offers not just the renowned Besta dictionaries but like the new recent addition to the family, mini HD camcorders called AIPTEK.

And that, my dear dear friends is what Carrie and I will be endorsing. =)

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am honestly honestly ever so thankful to the people who made this happen, and also thankful that this seems to be an exciting project.

Where we're not simply 'dummy artistes' or 'puppets' where we get brand images forced fed on us, or forced to do things we dislike, or end up in poses we're not comfortable in, or basically end up doing anything that has NOTHING to do with ME but EVERYTHING to so with the "IDEAL DIYA" or "IDEAL CARRIE" which the client SPECIFICALLY wants to project to the mass audience.

For once, somebody tried to understand us.

For once, somebody wanted to work with us because of the person we are and not because of how popular we are.

For once, I feel, there's a heart working on this, and not just plain business ideas, profit logics and practicality.

For once, someone believed in our potential and not our past.

Thank you.

AHHH!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

So, as what Spidey's Dad said: With Power comes responsibility.

How do I be a responsible and human endorser of this product without being all blatant and advertorial?

Its a HD video Cam.

I'm a mass comm student.

I take videos.

With subtle messages, and little bits of my life here and there.

You watch.

You laugh with us.

You cry with us.

And I hope you take home something more than just a few laughs, but perhaps strength to go on in your lives? And also giving me one more person to share my precious memories with.

We already did one Video, with the help of dearest Queen-of-editing Shunz, but the version on youtube now is not in a format I am happy with. The video was filmed in 16:9 but on youtube is 4:3 which makes me look thinner than I really am(I should be happy.) but its not a good reflection of what you get from the video.

Erm, but about 400 of you have seen it already apparently.

I'll try to get that fixed then post it up here.

I'm not too much of a techie person, but I'll try to give you guys any information you ask as long as I have the answer for it. Otherwise, still ask me anyway, and I'll take it as a chance to learn more of what I really should have learnt in my 4 years in mass comm but didn't.

As always, I have Shunz or Peeks to enlighten me on this. So my life rocks. Really.

This is what i'm using. Carrie bought this for me... but they're giving us another one! I'll leave carrie to blog about that one though, cuz... that's hers. and this is mine! MOohahahahaha....

PocketDV AHD H5 extreme+

and I know this may seem as though I'm deviating from the CORRECT product,
since the next one I'm going to show you is not the one i'm using but I was
web surfing about the product and ended up in its US site and this is what I saw!
its SO TINY!!!!!!! Its a bird... its a chocolate bar... no! its a PenCAM!!!!

its crazy small!!! PenCAM!
and its specs are actually pretty good for such a small guy. awesome.

But I think we need to audition the people who buy this product,
must make sure you don't sell it to perverts or peeping toms.

I'm contemplating getting an Imac.
For video and audio editing... Any violent objections? or any sponsors?

Why Don't we Have this in Singapore?!?

I'm honestly a klutz at all these shutter speed, f-stop what nots, but honestly,
these cameras are so so good looking I wish I was a camera and my
other half was a camera too and we'd produce pictures together.

I can't believe this camera was bought by some avid camera fan who lives in the USA who bought it dirt cheap at some garage sale. Why don't we have this sort of thing here???

Arghhh, such a good looking camera indeed.

At least we have Bak Kut Teh.

Always look on the bright side of life.

If I had a good looking Yashica to take photos of the good tasting Bak Kut Teh,
I might be able to rest in peace.

Alas, one cannot have the best of two worlds.

ARGHHHH!!!!!!

Over the Moon


My mind's all muddled,
my vision all blur-ried,
my heart a-fluttering,
my thoughts whirring away,
I can't even hear myself think clearly anymore.

I need a ventilator to cool down my brain ram, or maybe a thumbdrive I can save these ridiculous ideas and thoughts away into.

There's so much to do, so little time.

I know I don't say much. My brain doesn't work so well with too much at one go, but I'm thinking, I really am.

One People. One Nation. One Singapore.

Its really hard to find that single vision, and I think its really amazing when a team of people come together and they come together and put aside their differences or their personalities to work towards one single vision.

And yet, its so tough. Things are always so subjective.

And yes, its so tough. Everyone has a different set of priorities or are simply being stretched beyond their limits.

Its ok to multi-task, but there's no point if it just means every other task on hand is just going to end up being half-baked or half-finished.

And in this world that spins, things are short-lived.

So short-lived that we jump at every opportunity that comes along and throw all our eggs into one basket.

How do we find that balance, how do we prioritise?

How do we know which season we're in now, and whether this is the season for blooming?


" OH well, take little ride, hang on tight.
We're heading for the moon, if that's alright. "

Won't you be a part of this devious plan, and won't you put your heart and soul with the rest of the hearts and the souls? We'll make it work, or at least, we'll make it good.

We'll make it a trip worth remembering, a trip worth taking.

We're heading for the moon, won't you join us?

Speaking of which, here's something I saw from the talented 啊呆's blog:

Just Brilliant... LAH.

夜深人静






说谎

词：施人诚

是有过几个不错对象

说起来并不寂寞孤单

可能我浪荡让人家不安

才会结果都阵亡

我没有什么阴影魔障

你千万不要放在心上

我又不脆弱何况那算什么伤

反正爱情不就都这样

我没有说谎我何必说谎

你懂我的我对你从来就不会假装

我哪有说谎请别以为你有多难忘

笑是真的不是我逞强

我好久没来这间餐厅

没想到已经换了装潢

角落那窗口闻得到玫瑰花香

被你一说是有些印象

我没有说谎我何必说谎

你知道的我缺点之一就是很健忘

我哪有说谎是很感谢今晚的相伴

但我竟然有些不习惯

我没有说谎我何必说谎

爱一个人没爱到难道就会怎么样

别说我说谎人生已经如此的艰难

有些事情就不要拆穿

我没有说谎是爱情说谎

它带你来骗我说渴望的有可能有希望

我没有说谎祝你做个幸福的新娘

我的心事请你全遗忘

真的很不容易

做事难，做人更难，做好人更更难。

选歌难，写歌更难，选好歌更更难。

一首难，两首更难，十首更更难。

一个人难，两个人更难，一个组合更更难。

但是，
两个人一起做事，
一起选歌，
一起写歌，
一起难上加难。。。。

真的很好玩。

又期待，又害怕受伤害。 哈哈！

oh here's a link to a podcast Carrie and I participated in for freshmusic.... have a listen!

(500)days of summer



Watch it if you just broke up. It helps you get over him/her a little faster, accompanying you and accelerating you through the days.

I watched it, and it brought me back a little to the past and also a little into the future, getting over a little bit more and realising how its all just like the seasons that come and go.

"I know you think she's the one.
But I don't.... You look into the past and you only see the good stuff.
The next time you look back, take another look."
- Tom's sister in (500)days of summer

Good movie. Good plot, well thought out characters, plus a all grown up, new, up and coming actor who is one of the rare few child actors who grew up good looking. =P


You might remember him from "3rd rock from the sun"

.... Joseph Gordon-Levitt

I'm not usually the gushing sort of girl, and I'm kinda amazed I'm actually posting pictures of him but I think he's one actor I'm definitely going to be looking out for. He has a quality that really attracts me unlike the usual hollywood in-you-face-good-looking hunks.

Nice.

Well, the video below has nothing to do with the film but its N-I-C-E! And Hey! The male and female leads can dance!~ And the song in the video is by an indie group called 'she and him' which the female lead Zooey is in. Which means... she sang the song.

Damn. These hollywood actors and actresses really are talented...
