Audio Bites

Thanks to my dumbass mate, I can't get Singh Is Kinng (sic) outta my head. It does have a little of an OG (Old Gangsta') feel to it, with Snoop D O Double G guesting on the track. The beat is what gets me.

Been downloading lots of music this past few days. Not using filesharing or torrents. =)

From classic Frank Sinatra to Hannah Montana, timeless classic and sound of the times, not difficult to figure which is which.

I was just wondering who my favourite rappers were and I came up with this;

1. T.I.
2. Lupe Fiasco
3. Lil' Wayne
4. Kanye West
5.The Game

I'm not saying they are the top or anything but I just like listening to them. It's a current list, not an all time one.

I don't really know what to make of the following yet but....

Hayden Panettiere - Wake Up Call



I like the song, I think it's a decent attempt to sound different. At least better than Ali Lohan's single. Ali (Aliana) Lohan is the younger sister of a more (in)famous Lohan.

She looks a bit like Jessica Simpson in the video and the song seems to have almost the same vibe as No Doubt's Underneath It All.

DAMN, come to think of it, the song does sound dangerously close to Paris Hilton's "Stars Are Blind".

She does slip into Paris' voice at times but it differs enough for me to save her.

As for the video...it could be better but she does look good, especially with black hair. What? You did not expect me to dislike a video that has Hayden Panettiere in it, did you?

Actually, the song might actually be rubbish and maybe I'm blinded by my preference for anything HayP related.

Gym Class Heroes have a very likeable single out, Cookie Jar ft The Dream. Dream rips off T-Pain too much for me but I still like the song.



Another cheeky song by GCH.

Lastly, Neyo's back with another one, "Miss Independent" Does this dude EVER stop working? It seems like he's everywhere all the time.

No video yet so just listen to the audio here.

More studying tomorrow, with a little bit of fun.

I'm off to look for more new music.

Sincerity Is Enhanced When It's Harder To Give

Saturday in the AM was fun, finding an old stack of CDs, the gang going through tunes of the past, listening to the songs that were anthems of that time. We relived the teenage days. It was fun, remembering how hot Holly Valance is and how adorable Jennifer Love Hewitt was.

I daresay, Jenny Love was my Jessica Alba before Jessica Alba came around in Idle Hands. Any dispute, just watch the movie "Can't Hardly Wait", a teentime fave of mine.

Before I FULLY focus on studying from tomorrow onwards, I found a revelation today that hurt and disappointed me.

I expected it to come sooner or later but I still couldn't be prepared when it came. It's only a matter of time before this revelation materializes.

I think that despite this, I must remember that whatever I do, I do so out of sincerity. If I do something for someone expecting something in return, I'd be better off not doing it in the first place.

For now, the books call me. Drama's off, projects are done and mates will be cooped up in institutions, undergoing National Service.

Others will probably be busy with other people but there's really nothing I can do about that.

So, I'll just study.

I'll prepare my little token to please, to be presented on a day of celebration but I'm sure that there are others in place who will outdo me.

No matter, as long as what I offer is sincere.

Right now, I know where I want to be and what I want but I don't know how to get there and get it.

Will God allow it?

I have a possible writing project coming up with the mates. It's only a pipe dream now but hopefully it comes about. Enough about talking about cool stories and movies, 'bout time we started writing one.

It's a helluva long way but maybe one day, we'll hold a finished manuscript in our hands.

Lastly, for those who don't know, Lupe Fiasco is a kickass lyricist. Check out his song, "Hip Hop Saved My Life

Please Stay

Just came of a soccer game today. Been awhile since I had one of those.

Didn't fare too well. We lost 10-6. I personally did my simple job very badly. Rustiness played a part but some of the goals conceded were just plain stupid. I should have done a lot better, but that's enough of that.

I think I want to write a song. It's for a special occasion. No, it's not for Singapore's National Day. Ah well, see what I come up with.

I need to get my study on. But first, I suppose I need to clean my room. It's a very related issue.

It was nice spending all this weekend alone at home. Not that I was home lots. Was out and about this weekend. Only was home really this weekend.

My mom and sis just came back from Jakarta. I really don't mean to sound like an ingrate but none of the stuff the bought for me fit. I really appreciate the gesture but I can't wear them at all.

Come here, please hold my hand, Lord, now
Help me, I'm scared please show me how
To fight this, God has a master plan
And I guess, I am in his demand

Please save me, this time I cannot run
And I'll see, you when this is done
And now I, have come to realize
That you are, the one who's left behind

Please stay untill I'm gone
I'm here hold on to me
I'm right here waiting

I see, the light it feels good
And I'll come, back soon just like you would
It's use less, my name has made the list
And I wish, I gave you one last kiss

Please stay until I'm gone
I'm here hold on to me
I'm right here waiting
And take my one last breath
And don't forget
That I will be right here waiting (x3)

Blink 182 - "Not Now"

Because the words mean so much to me. Hear the actual song here.

With this I shall go on to another week facing trials and tribulations but always hoping for grace and salvation.

Whatever You Like

It's not a real post but I thought I'd post this video. It's a little bit anti-feminist but the general idea is there. A little fanciful but I'd like to be able to do something similar to what T.I. is doing for the girl in the video one day, to my very own girl.

That don't mean I think that my girl wouldn't be able to survive on her own. She would be so fly that she probably will shine on her own.

But like Neyo once crooned, "I'm a movement by myself, but I'm a force when we're together."

It does help that the song is kick-ass. T.I's swagger at the very best.

Back with an actual post soon.

Just The Tip Of The Iceberg

The Psychology test wasn't too bad. It could have gone a lot worse but it didn't and I think I'll survive.

Things have toned down a tad. Only the Psychology presentation left standing.

I even did a bit Biz Finance after, even though it was only the tutorial.

I've had much to contemplate in the past two days.

I've been questioning my worth recently. It's not low self-esteem. It's just, I know I'm capable of achieving much more, that I'm not just average. I have little accomplishments that I can achieve. Not that there's anything wrong with being average but I'm sick of being "the nearly man", one who does many things but never quite achieving anything.

I don't want to just talk and talk and not deliver. Surely this is not all I can be? There are so many pre-conceived notions and expectations about what I can do, my talents and my abilities. Will I not use them to do something with my life, or will I just slip into anonymity and be just another person who won't bother because chasing dreams aren't practical in the real world?

Out of all the negativity, is a long-standing positive truth. No matter what happens, good or bad, there is always somethere there to inspire, help us keep our heads up. We only need to look for it, no matter how bleak the situation seems to be.

It is that truth that keeps me going on, to try to be better, for myself and that truth.

Pardon the generalizations. But basically what I'm trying to say (for my own sake, mostly) is that I can be better than the average person that people think I am. I can work harder, be more creative, write this, take up this hobby, etc.

The only person stopping me from really fulfilling my potential is me. I'm just using the real world as an excuse. After all, if I really want it, I should go for it, right?
