Straight Through My Heart - Backstreet Boys

Here's the song for today's Music Monday. Like the new theme?


Lyrics to Straight Through My Heart [Backstreet Boys]
In the heart
Of the night
Where its dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor
Ohhhh Ohhhhh

I looked down
And my shirts turning red
I'm spinning around
Felt her lips on my neck
And her voice in my ear
Like I missed you
Want you tonight

Chorus:
Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Ohhhh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Ohhhh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
Soldier down(my heart)
Soldier down(my heart)

Thought I moved
More than on
Thought I could
Fool her charm
I really wanna go
But I can't leave her alone
Ohhhh ohhhh

Hear the sound
Of a love so loud
I just can't, I jus't cant
Ignore this feeling
Said she misses me
And she wants me
Wants me tonight

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Ohhhh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Ohhhh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
Soldier down(my heart)
Soldier down(my heart)

In the heart
Of the night
When its dark
In the lights
I heard the loudest noise
A gunshot on the floor

Straight through my heart
A single bullet got me
I can't stop the bleeding
Ohhhh
Straight through my heart
She aimed and she shot me
I just can't believe it
Ohhhh
No I can't resist
And I can't be hit
I just can't escape this love
Straight through my heart
Soldier down(my heart)
Soldier down(my heart)

Singapore Idol 2009

Today I'm going to blog about this year's Singapore Idol (Duh!). I didn't follow the last two seasons closely, though I did this time round, so I know the contestants pretty well. Though everyone knows that the two in this year's finale are Sylvia and Sezairi (both names start with S!), thanks to Mediacorp spamming the Idol ads [Haha just joking ;) ].

So here's the million-dollar question: Who would I support? The answer:

Why him?

• He really is talented, and super original too!
• I like his index number: 3028 - Really close to my index number for the O levels (0328!)

Ok enough crap from me ;) I do hope that Sezairi wins; the search for the first female Singapore Idol can go on to next year haha!

UPDATE on 11PM 27 Dec 2009
Sezairi won! Woo hoo! Maybe next year for a female Singapore Idol?

Okto and Christmas

Ok, you don't know me if you don't know my favourite colour: ORANGE!

That's part of the reason why I like Okto; it's logo is in ORANGE as well!
So when I see this it makes me super happy! ;)

Continuing on, during this year's Christmas, Okto tells me that:

So with that, I (as well as Okto - haha!) hopes that you readers will:

Bad Romance - Lady Gaga

For today, a catchy song by Lady Gaga (aren't her songs so catchy?), and that is Bad Romance. The lyrics are in the video below and with that, enjoy!

1, 2, 3, 4 (I Love You) - Plain White T's

You don't know me if you don't know I am mad about numbers. So here's one lovely song by the Plain White T's, and it's 1, 2, 3, 4 (I'm in love with the title itself ;) ). Enjoy!


Lyrics to 1, 2, 3, 4 (I Love You) [Plain White T's]
1 2, 1 2 3 4-
Give me more lovin' than I've ever had,
Make it all better when I'm feelin' sad,
Tell me that I'm special even when I know I'm not,
Make it feel good when I hurt so bad, Barely gettin' mad,
I'm so glad I found you; I love bein' around you.

You make it easy, it's easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
There's only 1 thing 2 do 3 words 4 you
(I love you) I love you
There's only 1 way 2 say those 3 words and that's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you.

Give me more lovin' from the very start,
Piece me back together when I fall apart,
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make it feel good when I hurt so bad, Best that I've had,
I'm so glad I found you, I love bein' around you.

You make it easy, it's easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
There's only 1 thing 2 do 3 words 4 you
(I love you) I love you
There's only 1 way 2 say those 3 words and that's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you.
(I love you) I love you.

You make it easy, it's easy as 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4
There's only 1 thing 2 do 3 words 4 you
(I love you) I love you
There's only 1 way 2 say those 3 words and that's what I'll do
(I love you) I love you.

And you livin' in the fast lane
Eyes like an angel (goddess)
Watch my yellin' as she undress
Spotless (otless) bad to the bone
Make me wanna go put me in the triple X zone (zone)
Lames don't know how to talk to you
So let me walk with you, hold my hand

想握你的手 - 迷路兵

想握你的手 translates into "I wanna hold your hand". I guess I shan't elaborate here ...


Lyrics to 想握你的手 [迷路兵]
谁记得上次牵手 过了多久
谁知道下次挥手 在什么时候
从忙忙碌碌 到无止无休
忘了 快乐才算是成就

谁确定握紧了 就代表拥有
谁预料放手后 就会有自由
不是每个动作 都需要理由
但若是爱 就一定能被感受

想握你的手 最简单的温柔
却胜过千万个寒喧问候
牵着一起走过黑夜白昼
让幸福变成 细水长流

想握你的手 让爱十指紧扣
记得最温馨 那股暖流
交替的是气侯
而不是一直都在守候

双手轻轻一握 那就足夠

Church and Fahrenheit 451 (and more ...)

I don't think that I'd gotten over exam mode completely. Yesterday was my first time to a church, so it was an eye-opener for me. And it was interesting too. For me, it felt as though the service was a cross between a rock concert (Really! There was even a live band!) and a preaching session (This feels like a inspirational session if the references to the Bible were stripped out!). Just something from the preaching which I felt was useful:

The 10,000 hour rule
Apparently, researchers have discovered that to really be a genius at something, you have to have put in 10,000 hours of hard work into it. There were living proof like Bill Gates, and Mozart and the Beatles are also some of the others who had put in the (more than) 10,000 hours to be really successful.

So that means I have to study 8 hours for 365 days a year for 3.5 years (!!!) to really be a genius. Hmm ...

Anyway, I was thinking about F451 that night too. During the service technology seemed to be in full force. Huge (LED) screens, TV cameras, those reminded me of the times of the recording of NSC '08. The live band provided the melody for the Christians (that would be about 99.5% of everyone there) to sing along, and I was amazed!

There was a strange parallel between yesterday and Prom night , though I would not elaborate here. If anything refer to my post on Prom night here.

Blog overhaul

This blog had needed a new and fresh image. Now that I have the time to engage in non-academic activities, today, I have started my blog overhaul. Giving a different and fresh look for my blog has been one of my must-dos after the O levels, and today, 28 November is the best time to start it.

So in one month's time (28 December), prepare to see a all-new look on this blog!

PS: Can you guess what the new theme will be? (Clue: It has to do with one particular number ...)

Prom night

So yesterday night was Prom night. And since I had no idea how the night would go, I went there with the only hope that I don't screw things up. But problems came up anyway. Firstly, thanks to my trousers, I was delayed at home by one good hour. Then when I got to a meeting point where I could hitch a ride to Raffles Town Club (RTC) I was informed that that would be delayed too. So in the end, I endured a ride on 960 to RTC instead. And if that weren't bad enough, I had problems tying my tie. So the first thing after I reached RTC was to ask for directions to the toilet.

And only when I entered the toilet did I finally saw someone I knew. And I got help for my tie as well. And the positive feelings slowly rose through the evening ...

Things brightened up (literally) when the ballroom was opened. And then came some pointless games and then the food. Somehow I managed to go for 4 rounds of food before time ran out. Then came more games: Don't forget the lyrics! and Music TV. My intuition was right when I predicted Mr Osgodby to go up and sing (offhand I don't remember the song title, though it's a really old song). As for Music TV, it is really just Love TV in disguise. getting the "couples" (maybe the quotation marks aren't needed) to act out scenes that prompted "oohs" and plenty of laughter (thrusting the groin forward, anyone?).

When the lights were dimmed later on, the amount of positive feelings in me started to decrease. I was rather disappointed with the results and when (most of) the lights in the ballroom were switched off for people to start dancing, I stayed around for awhile before leaving RTC in a gloomly mood that was not unlike the dark skies.

Watching the bus speed along the expressway did help to lift my spirits for a while (I was standing in front of the bus, so that was fun) .

That's a lot of text above right? Unfortunately I took barely any photos at all :(

Money buys stuff, but not love and happiness.

And the reason why I put in the quote above had to do with the fact that I felt better during Graduation Day than during Prom Night. I paid nothing for the former, yet I was in better spirits during the former than the latter. (I took and posed for more photos in the former too. Yesterday I took like what, 3 photos only???) Yesterday night I was practically begging for a bus, any bus, to bring me out of RTC ...

Oh well, today is a new day and I guess I should hit the "Refresh" button in my mind ...
