I had reaches the peak of my weight over the last 5 years! I can't believe it!!! i gonna exercise my ass off... Pardon my rough words! I forced myself to go for swimming & gym... and i hope it do helps... but only time will tell.. Must really save $$ for my studies... Hence, i guess, i will not be having expensive good food any time soon!!!
Ganbateh Wee Liang! in the name of Metrosexual!!! haha
The stage was a simple one. It seems to be more like a gig than a concert. She had with her 2 vocalists and a band, which includes a DJ. To perform in front of a rather small crowd (for a concert), i must salute her for her professionalism. She perform every song with equal enthusiasm, attitude and high energy! I certainly feel her sincerity! I wonder why the organiser did not pack us nearer to the center of the seats (facing her). Since most of the time, she will be singing towards the front.
Frankly speaking, i actually mistook Clarkson as an opening act. The main reason was that i could hardly recognise her. She had grew rather plump (but her vocal still rather powerful). My last impression of her was in her "Never Again" music video. Where she was still (seems to be) a beautiful, slimmer lady. Her outfit could have been better though. My friend commented that she looks like someone who going to our heartland mall shopping. Or, maybe, she just want her voice to stood out and be the main attention?
I am not a Kelly Clarkson's die-hard fan nor even considered a fan. I like her voice through classics like 'A Moment Like This', 'Breakaway', 'Since You've Been Gone' etc. Newer hits like 'Never Again' and 'Already Gone' sounds pretty good too. To be there in the indoor stadium, my job is to sit back and enjoy her performance. She did, in fact, impress me with her songs and covers. If you ever had a chance to catch a glimpse of her concert, this is surely all you ever wanted!
Here’s the setlist if you’re wondering:
1.All I Ever Wanted
2.Miss Independent
3.I Do Not Hook Up
4.Impossible

6.Breakaway
7.If I Can’t Have You/Can’t Get You Out of My Head (Kylie Minogue cover)

9.Lies (The Black Keys cover)
10.Acoustic Medley (Just Missed The Train, Low, Addicted, Gone)
11.Behind These Hazel Eyes (Acoustic)
12.Save You
13.I Want You
14.Don’t Let Me Stop You
15.Because of You
16.Walk Away

Before i could sing Karen Mok's song, i was emailed and asked to sing "你是我心内的一首歌" instead, a duet between Lee Hom & Selina. Beautiful duets... a tough song for guys i guess. if you know the song, you would have noticed how much different Lee Hom need to sing with Selina as the main singer. Hence, i have lots to improve on! What's more, i am asked to have some simple movements with my fellow partner, Kelly.
The audition went rather smooth. Juliet "passed" during the audition. And today, just checked my email to see that we had another song to learn - "Can't Smile Without You" by Barry Manilow. Its gonna be a ending song, i suppose, where the whole group of us singing and dance with the music.
How would we fare? I totally had no idea! Here's song with the lyrics:
If someone wants to categorize me under metrosexual or a wannabe, i would admit right away! *laugh* why wouldn't i? Hey, who doesn't wanna look great and enjoy the compliments from people all around you? Even if i am not suave or drop-dead gorgeous (if there are people who describe guys as this), i would still want to look good in pictures! I would love to have all the memories of my youth or post-youth in photos and when i grow old, i still can sit on a rocking chair and think about my beautiful memories...
Opening up my wardrobe, i realised that i have not been spedning on clothes like how i used to be. i had not been shopping for clothes... all my money have been spent on food & gatherings, recently... Not forgetting, i had a monthly insurance bills, thrice yearly school fees etc. But i am just glad to spend some on my singing lessons & facial. My face had been rather bad due to late night and not having enough rest... who to blame? no one! i can't be that discipline even though i love to... haha... i had to force myself for early rest i guess! since i don't like to be nag or forced by others! lol!
Had been gaining lots of weights and have been complaining here and there. Have occassionally went for jogs but no much improvement though! No thanks to the lack of discipline in my food control! haha... I want to look good! i want to look great! i want to look SUPERB! and YES! i am a metrosexual!
One of the main reason of not wanting to give up here is the fact that i can blog freely in both Chinese or English. Back in poly days, this little corner provide me with the space to share my views or at times, some rants... I have to thank blogger.com for improving my writtne english standard, back then. I passed the following year in 'O's as a private candidate. The only other web where my friend could see my articles was Yahoo! groups. Those were the days... *Smile* Sweet memories...
After enrolling into National Service, i began to use Chinese language more often and listen to more Chinese songs, as compared to Poly days. Soon, my verbal Chinese is much better than my English (though this has always been the case before Poly). Working in a Chinese oriented department doesn't help much. I am not saying that it is bad for me to be eloquent in chinese. It is just that i am greedy and wanted the best of both world! *laugh*
When i suffer huge blows in writing some posts in facebook.com, i had totally stopped my writing (apart from tweet or plurk). Now that i am back at 'Square 1". Personally, i do hope that i could have time to blog or motivated to come back and blog. =)
而孤独是什么 心冷又是什么
情是什么 而你是什么?
我不要再想了， 我已经倦了
我不想再唱了， 我已经哭了
我想陪你坐着，
我想听你说着，
我想知道我值得， 以为我们还爱着。
我把窗户都开着， 风也是凉的，
我一个人唱着歌， 声音也变成冷的。
而孤独是什么 心冷又是什么
情是什么 而你是什么?
我不要再想了， 我已经倦了
我不想再唱了， 我已经哭了
雨， 又在下了。
Recently, have been busy with school work. Projects, assignments, labs etc... all the deadlines are drawing closer... i had became alot more busier after CNY. There was once where i merely slept or napped for 40mins in 2 days in preparation for a test. In the end, i guess i did not perform well enough. But yesterday, i was impressed by myself by finishing the whole assignment almost single handedly! There was a sense of acheivement... haha
Mentioning about CNY - Chinese New Year aka Lunar New Year. I enjoyed this year's edition as more gatherings, mingling around etc. Its enjoyable and we took alot of photos... especially with my mother side's cousins... haha. Not to forget, our TABOO session was great... Best performer must be Clement. He is great! haha... Look forward to have more such session!!!
K lar.. its late... i will update soon again =)
So in 2009, what did i set myself to do? let's see...
I failed to lose any weight and i gained a lot over the last few months. I am depress over this but i began some exercise recently, hope to get it going! =) "Get to go abroad" - I definitely met this aim by visiting, not once but twice, Taiwan! With two different group of friends & two differnt itinery, i got myself different experience all over Taiwan. And now, i can say i am more Taiwanese!
4th on my list is to have people around me happy. I certainly hope so despite not able to judge, i guess there will only be one or two unhappy when i am around... *haha* Overall, 2009 was not very happy one, but i guess i am happy enough when i look back at 2009. Any significant event happen this year? Yes, but i shall not consider it great. That was the death of my aunt. As for great, not remembering any! if you know one, let me know =) Thanks in advance...
With 2010 being a potential year of changes. I have some new resolution:
Wah! i have a long list indeed, i think i could go on and on... But its good to have an aim, isn't it? Let's work hard towards our aim together!
... paying respect to late Jeremy, though i admit, we are not THAT close! But i did miss him...
... has his mood lightened up by the J-team. its been a long time since i laugh like that...
... was 'molested' by a boy in Han's but enjoy the short interaction with the kid!
... was disappointed with them being LATE again! Heck! I have my own breakfast and start myself.
... managed to study in Woodlands library with jun hao for a day!
... is having knee & back injury! Can't really do simple exercise to lose weight *sob*!
... wanted to do a lot of things after exam!!!
... has his December weekends almost(all) filled up with events!
... missed his LIFE!
