Song of the month: December

Sorry for the late monthly song update!
Last month, the list of songs that I listen to is vastly different from the kind of songs that I am used to listening.

1) 可惜没如果 by 林俊杰
By Singapore's very own home-grown singer JJ Lin!
I listened to the song because of the music video...
And indeed, JJ Lin never fails to live up to his reputation.
Another song that brought tears to my eyes~~

2) Try by Jayesslee
The bad news is...when Jayesslee is going to Singapore, I will still be here in Taiwan..
However, the good news is, JAYESSLEE IS COMING TO TAIWAN!!!
I was ecstatic when I heard of the news, and immediately bought tickets to their show.
Even though it is pricy, considering the location of the show.
But oh well!!!
Love this song because I think the lyrics is very meaningful.
And of course, definitely love Jayesslee's rendition of it!

3) 不搭 by 李荣浩
He is definitely one of the most popular new singer out in the market right now.
I don't usually listen to such songs, but somehow his songs just have that attractive factor that got me hooked.
Not the loud kind of music, quiet and soothing.
This is one of my favourites from him!

4) 《像天堂的悬崖》by 李佳薇
One of the best live singer I have ever heard.
She sounds just like her CD.

Song of the Month: November

1) 《模特》by 范竣瑞
Just 2 months in Taiwan, and I realize......there are really many musically talented people in Taiwan.
This is a cover of the song 《模特》done by one of my seniors in Comm studies. He is really talented. He plays the violin, and learns the piano and guitar by himself.
Well, he is really in to music, and his voice is really deep.
I am listening to his songs at like 4am? Great for sleepless nights like today.

2) 《夢一場》by 范竣瑞
The first song I introduced was just released this month.
This song, I think he released it 8 months ago?
I could hear the improvement he made, but this is still a nice rendition of the song.

3) 《如果雲知道》by劉柯 and 陳永馨
I think it is quite easy to tell what kind of voices I like for male singers.
Even though it is not a perfect performance, I think the 2 of them did great in terms of the atmosphere.

 4) I Won't Let Go by Rion Paige
I have been searching for this song ever since I heard Rion's rendition of it!
I think she can express her feelings really well, and it has been quite awhile I cried after hearing a song.

Song of the month: October

1）《海上的人》 by灭火器
Was introduced to this song by one of my friend. Well, I did not really pay attention to the song, until I heard them live when I accompanied my friend to their concert tour in my school.

2) Sinten Nunggang Sepur
This is a Javanese folk song, a rendition by NUS's choir. Well, I am in the school choir team, and this is one of the song we will be performing for our competition in December.

3) Believe Me by Font Minor
Another song I heard of recently because of another inter-course competition.

Song of the month: September

Apologies for the lack of updates!

1 month since I started school in Taiwan...
Enjoying my life here, but there are also things that I am not used to yet.
For example, the food, the weather, the traffic etc.
However, I am sure I will enjoy my 4 years here.

I know it's a little late, but here is my song list for September!

1) The One Like You by Girls Generation's Jessica

I am sure most of you must have heard of the news, that Jessica is not part of SNSD anymore.
Here is one of my favourite song by her.
A little tribute, and also in hopes that she will be part of the group again.

2) 《听见下雨的声音》by 魏如昀
I seldom listen to songs like this, but this song is etched in my head.
Reason being, my roommate and friends keep singing it.

3）《你不知道的事》by 陈永馨
Beautiful rendition of Lee Hom's song.
It is a more 'angelic' version of the song.

4）《我知道你很难过》by 刘珂
I like this kind of voice, so yeah~
It is like, I can hear his heartache.

5）《Oh Girl》 by 宇宙人
They are an indie band, I think.
I don't usually listen to indie music. Was introduced to this music through our faculty's camp.
It was the song to our morning dance routine.
The song and the lyrics are suuuuuuper cute!

Songs of the month: August

I must really say, time flies really really fast.
It's already the end of August!
Time for some song introductions again!
I have people asking me why my song recommendations are not new songs.
Well, the songs that I blog about each month are just some of my favourites in the month.
Be it new or old, as long as I enjoy it, I recommend it (:

1) 《会痛的石头》by 萧敬腾
The melody, and Jam's voice really breaks my heart. This song never fails to bring me to the verge of tears every time. For those who understand the lyrics, I am sure it will break your heart even more.

2) 《到不了的地方》 by 萧敬腾
I am listening to Jam's songs a lot recently, because the radio station that I am listening to is always playing his songs. This is one of his newer songs, and another of my favourites this month!

3) 《身不由己》 by 丁当
I don't really follow the drama 《步步惊情》as said earlier on in my June post, but their songs are really quite my type. I really like the lyrics for the chorus.

4) Happiness by Red Velvet
The first 3 songs are quite heart-breaking to hear. Here is one that is more upbeat. Happiness by SMENT's new girl group Red Velvet.
To be honest, I think KPOP songs are successful because of it's catchy rhythm.
The girls are really pretty as well. Try identifying them. (Hint: Their hair colour make it easier)

5) 《一千零一个愿望》by 4 in Love
This song sounds like some children song, which is pleasant to the ears~

Songs of the month: July

Its the last day of July, and here comes my favourite songs for the month!
National Day is approaching, so I will be introducing more local songs this month!

1) Calling Out by KPOP idols f(x) Luna and Krystal
My office had an annual talent competition, and one of my colleagues performed this song. I knew of the song before she performed, but not because of the drama, but because of f(x). Why I chose this, because I had to lip-sync off stage for her, I listened to it alot over the weekends.
But, this song has a really nice melody~

2) 我懂了 by new Singaporean singer 崇喆

I chanced upon his interview on a weekly magazine, and heard his song on the radio at the same time. I like his low husky voice, which is why I introduced his song to all of you.

Support local music (;

3)《新加坡派》by renowned local songwriter 梁文福

This song is quite cute, in the sense that the lyrics are not the usual poetic kind, but a more comical and colloquial.

4) 情人 by local singer Kelly Poon

She participated in a local singing competition 《绝对Superstar》, and was the female champion. She released a few albums. I like her ballads. A pity, success has not come to her yet. This song is a rendition of Coco Lee's 《情人》, I find it quite refreshing. However, I find the dance a little slow, especially at the chorus.

5) Home by local songbird Kit Chan
This is by far my favourite National Day theme song. The lyrics are very meaningful, the melody is easy to remember. And ultimately, lets not forget our home.

HAPPY NATIONAL DAY SINGAPORE!! (:

Songs of the month: June

It has been awhile since I introduced new songs~~here are some of my favourites for the month of June.

Maybe I shall do song of the month every month..how does that sound?

1)《一颗滚石》by Chinese legend 赵传
This song sounds like a karaoke oldies but it is actually his new song!
It is actually quite catching and refreshing, for a new song in this era to sound like you heard it 10 years ago. Sometimes, after all the KPOP, techno and whatsoever, such music may come as pleasant to you.

2) 《尘埃》by 家家
Drama aside, this song really brings out the emotions.
(p.s. if you watched the first sequel to the drama, and is anticipating the second...word of advice: please do not put too much hope in it.) The plot from the beginning is already different from what we are familiar with because of the limitations in the country.

3) We Are One (Ole Ola) by Pitbull
Here we go again~~Its the World Cup 2014!!! How can we not have this song on the list?
I actually signed up for Zumba lessons at my office with another 2 colleagues, and this is one of the songs we Zumba to!

By the way,  it will be USA vs Ghana, Korea vs Belgium tonight~ and of course Portugal!
Which 2 countries will be able to advance? Lets all stay tune~~

Better Me

Love this song ever since I heard her sang it on a award ceremony.
I think it is quite a meaningful song~~

Frozen!!!

Awesome movie!!
Fantastic songs!!
I LOVE DISNEY!!

Unlike other Disney movies, this one is about sisters love!
The voices behind the characters, they are sooooooo good!
Especially like the song "Let it Go"
Both versions of the song are nice!
Demi Lovato's voice is so powerful, and it always breaks my heart.

Idina Menzel, who it the voice for Elsa the Snow Queen, her voice is also powerful and clear.

Kinda reminds me of Jessica from SNSD.

The same type of crystal clear voice!

The animation was great as well!

Now I wish Disney re-made all their fairy tales with the new animation technology!

With new songs too~~

疗伤歌手

I am currently obsessed with this song!!
I shed tears everytime I hear it.

Girls and Peace Concert Review

Apologies for the delay of this post.
I am quite a lazy blogger i guess.

Girls Generation Girls and Peace Concert was awesome
I can feel the atmosphere from all of the fans
Especially during the encore fan-chant, when SONES sang Into the New World for the girls.
I personally also loved the part when SONES used a application to create twinkling star effect in the concert hall, it was absolutely pretty.
A mixture of Japanese and Korean hit songs were sang.
It is a pity Girls Generation did not perform their latest hit single Galaxy Supernova.
I also hoped they did Love and Girls because the song and dance is catchy, but they did not.
However, all time favourites such as Gee, Oh, Genie, Run Devil Run, Hoot, They Boys, Dancing Queen, I Got a Boy and many many more, Girls Generation did awesome I would say.
To be able to keep the energy so hyped up for more than 2 hours,
running around the stage, entertaining their fans and give their utmost performance.
I know that can be very very energy draining.
However, I could also feel that the girls are really tired.
I think I could feel more of their energies through variety shows.
They are really trying the best, and they are really tired.
Its back to basic Sunday with Into the New World

BKK here I come!!!

I am going to Bangkok on Monday for a 5day 4 night getaway!!
Its the holidays!!
I really really need a break~
And so, BKK here I come!!!

我要到泰国度假去咯！

终于盼到假期的到来！
这一次需要好好的放松一下了！
所以，曼谷我来了！！

A song that really give me the holiday mood~

觉得这首歌非常适合沉浸在度假气氛的我～

Tired 累

Because of all the assignments I have to complete within these 2 weeks,
and of course the filming that will start tomorrow,
I am really worn out right now.
I can even cry a river watching a comedy.
Thats what I can do, and how I really feel right now.
Filming will last for about 5 days from 13 June to 19 June.
So I guess I will not be updating my blog for these few days.
Until then...


最近放了两个礼拜得假。虽然说放假，但是要完成得作业却比往常多。
再加上从明天开始到星期三，戏就要开拍了！
我现在真的是累得不得了。
我甚至可以在看喜剧得情况下大哭。这就是我目前得精神状态。
在录影的这几天，我就不会上来了。
到那个时候。。。

A song to cheer all of you who are sad, and of course myself
一首鼓励和我一样失落的人的歌曲

Dreams 梦想

It is raining here in Singapore now!!
新加坡现在正下着雨呢！！

A song for this rainy season~~
非常应景的一首歌～～

Recently, YES 933 came to our school for auditions.
Well, they also conducted auditions in other schools, and also an open audition.
2 of my friends are in the top 16!!!
I wasn't chosen though ):
I guess that is the end of my radio DJ dream for now.
The industry is not very big in Singapore you know.
I too would like to be able to realize my dreams, but it is not the right time I guess.
While pursuing my studies, I need to start think about what I would like to do in future...

最近YES 933 来了我们学校举办试音活动。
当然，它们也到其它学府举办试音活动，
同时也有公开试音活动。
我有两位朋友顺利晋级16强哦！
至于我嘛。。。梦想应该到这里止步了。
新加坡媒体市场不大，更何况广播业。
我也很想能够如愿，但是应该还不是时候吧。
梦想止步不代表放弃哦！
只是在读书的同时，也要想想其他出路了。

여러분!!!
화이팅!!!

Aspirations 梦想

“人因梦想而伟大”

“人因妄想闹笑话”

These are 2 lines I came across from a local web drama.

The first line, most would be familiar with.

The second, when I first heard it, I thought it was funny.

However, after thinking about it, it seemed logical as well.

It is very easy to mix up with logical and illogical aspirations.

How can one properly differentiate them? Only one knows best.

People often say one must live with aspirations, only then will you have a goal to work towards to.

However, are these aspirations out of reach?

Children aspire to be many people when they grow up, 

However when they really do grow up, most will say they have no ambition.

Why is that so?  

Presenting to you:

1) I Dreamed a Dream by Susan Boyle (Britain)

2) Dream by Jay Chou (Taiwan)

“人因梦想而伟大”
“人因妄想闹笑话”

这两句话是我在本地的一个网络剧集看到的。
第一句相信大家并不感陌生。
第二句话，第一次听到。一开始觉得很好笑，后来觉得好像有点道理。
梦想和妄想好像只在一线之间。
怎么样的区分，怎么样的适可而止，只有自己最清楚。
虽说人都要有梦想，才会有目标，但是有时候，你的梦想遥不可及。
小朋友们小时候不都有着很多很伟大的梦想吗？
为什么长大之后就说没目标、没梦想呢？
是发现自己小时候的梦想其实都是妄想吗？

为你呈现
1）Susan Boyle 的 I Dreamed a Dream（英国）
2）周杰伦的梦想启动（台湾）
