I Made It - Kevin Rudolf

I finally made it to the top! With a mindblowing rank point of 78.8/80, I got ahead of everybody else of my cohort; essentially I'm the top student among the JC1s in AJC!

Thus, today's song, I Made It by Kevin Rudolf, is appropriate to express my emotions :P Anyway, enjoy!


Lyrics to I Made It [Kevin Rudolf]

[Intro - Birdman]
Yeah
Cash money heroes
Private jets
Polish, fly!

[Chorus - Kevin Rudolf]
I look up to the sky
and now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt
I made it, I made it!

[Verse 1 - Kevin Rudolf]
Known from the city where no one believed in me
But I never gave up the fight.
Yeah, but now I'm on top.
I told you to let it rock (Rock!)
Now the money's fallin' from the sky-y-y-y-y
I made it.

[Chorus]
I look up to the sky
and now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt
I made it, I made it!

[Verse 2 - Birdman]
Yeah
YM
CMB baby
Birdman
Swagged out
100
Rooftop, hella choppa burning smoke
Louis bag stay strapped wit' a priceless glow
High life, flippin' and gettin'some more.
Paradise, the luxury marble floor
When I hit, hit me full of that cash
More money than I seen in a garbage can
On Stunna Island, money and the power
That's how we do it, make it rain make it shower
Top floor, big timer doin' big things
Over city views bought shawty new Range
Flip another 100, poppin' throwin' hundreds
In a new Bently, uptown stunna!

[Chorus]
I look up to the sky (to the sky!)
and now the world is mine (the world is mine!)
I've known it all my life (all my life)
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt
I made it, I made it!

OOOOH I made it
i made it
i made it
i made it
I-I-I made it

[Verse 3 - Jay Sean]
Yo, ay, ay, ay, listen
See I don't live for glamour, and I don't care for fame
I'm in this for the love of the game
Funny how things can change
They didn't believe in me then
Now callin' my na-ame
Now look who cashed in
They didn't wanna know me back then
But ever since I done gone platinum
Everything turned around
And now the sky is falling downnnnnn

[Chorus]
I look up to the sky (down now)
and now the world is mine (mine)
I've known it all my life (oh oh oh oh oh oh)
I made it, I made it! (i made it)
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt (oh ho)
I made it, I made it!

[Verse 4 - Lil' Wayne]
Came from the gutter, lookin' like my motha
Made it to the goal line, straight out the huddle
Cash Money goldmine, Weezy stay loyal
Boy we gettin' money like we just found oil
Uh and that's word to my red flag
I live first and leave the bull s**t dead last
I lay it down so hard I got a bedrash
And i just tell 'em to loaf it when the bread pass
Starin' at you from the top of the game man
I might drop the world if I change hands
Uh, it feel good to be here
Weezy in the building got this b***h rebuilt
Young Money

[Chorus]
I look up to the sky
and now the world is mine
I've known it all my life
I made it, I made it!
I used to dream about, the life I'm living now
I know that there's no doubt
I made it, I made it!
i look up to the skyyy!
i made it!

Ooo!
i made it
I made it
I-I-I made it
i made it
i made it
i made it
Yes I did
Yes I did
Yes I did
Yes I did
Yes I did
I-I-I made it

I Gotta Feeling - Black Eyed Peas

Before today, I had a good feeling about my Promo results. After all my left eye had been twitching continually yesterday. So when I received my results today I got a shock. A good one though :) Especially with GP: From MYCT's S, now I got a B!!! All the other results also had their results upgraded, and Geog was also surprising, with a shockingly high A! Looks like I can have a good night's sleep tonight :D

So here's a nice song to fit today' mood. It's I Gotta Feeling, by the Black Eyed Peas. Enjoy!


Lyrics to I Gotta Feeling [Black Eyed Peas]
I gotta feeling...
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling... Woohoo
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Tonight's the night,
Let's live it up
I got my money,
Let's spend it up
Go out and smash it
Like oh my God
Jump off that sofa,
Let's get, get off

I know that we'll have a ball
If we get down and go out and just lose it all
I feel stressed out, I wanna let it go
Let's go way out spaced out
And losing all control
(Chi CHi Chi)

Fill up my cup,
mazel tov
Look at her dancing,
Just take it off
Let's paint the town,
We'll shut it down
Let's burn the roof,
And then we'll do it again

Let's do it,
Let's do it,
Let's do it,
Let's do it
And do it and do it,
Let's live it up
And do it and do it
And do it, do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it,
Let's do it

'Cause I gotta feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

A feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta a feeling
Tonight's the night
(Hey! )
Let's live it up
(Let's live it up)
I got my money
(Paid! )
Let's spend it up
(Let's spend it up)

Go out and smash it
(Smash it)
Like oh my God
(Like oh my God)
Jump off that sofa
(Come on! )
Let's get, get off

Fill up my cup
(Drank)
Mazel tov
(L'chaim)
Look at her dancing
(Move it, move it)
Just take it off

Let's paint the town

And do it and do it,
Let's live it up
And do it and
Do it and do it,
Do it, do it
Let's do it, let's do it,
Let's do it, do it, do it, do it

Here we come,
Here we go,
We gotta rock
(Rock rock rock rock rock)
Easy come,

Now we on top
(Top top top top top)
Feel the shot,
Body rock,

Round and round, up and down,
Around the clock

That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

I gotta feeling, woohoo,
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

Woohoo

Magic - B.o.B feat. Rivers Cuomo

I'm back after a 1 month + hiatus! Now it's time to chill out and today's song shall be Magic, by B.o.B, featuring Rivers Cuomo. Enjoy!



Lyrics to Magic [B.o.B feat. Rivers Cuomo]
I got the magic in me
Every time I touch that track
It turns into gold
Everybody knows

I've got the magic in me
When I hit the flow the girls come
Snappin' at me
Now everybody wants some presto

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me

These tricks that I'll attempt
Will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse
I'll hypnotize you with every line

I'll need a volunteer
How about you, with the eyes?
Come on down to the front
And stand right here and don't be shy

I'll have you time-travellin'
Have your mind babblin'
People tryin' to inherit the skill
So they askin' me

Even David Blaine had to go
And take some classes
And I see Mindfreak like
What's up man, what's happenin'?

So come one, come all
And see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded
No Ghost or Poltergeist

You know I'm no Pinocchio
I've never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man
I float on Cloud Nine

I got the magic in me
(I got the magic, baby)
Every time I touch that track it
Turns into gold
(Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows

I've got the magic in me
(I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come
Snappin' at me
(They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants some presto

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me

Well, take a journey into my mind
You'll see why it's venom I rhyme
Stay on the road
So I call my mama when I got time

I hit the stage, go insane
Then jump into that crowd
See, see, when I rhyme
I flow on the beat like pidda-dow-dow

See I deceive you with my
Intergalactic ether
I sing just like Aretha
So respect me like I'm Caesar

I kick it like Adidas
Flowin' sticky like adhesive
Be cautious, 'cause what I be on
Will leave you with amnesia

I break all the rules
Like Evel Knievel
It's a spectacular show
'Cause my heart pumps diesel

So whatever you saying
It don't entertain my ego
I do this everyday
Hocus pocus is my styl-o

I got the magic in me
(I got the magic, baby)
Every time I touch that track it
Turns into gold
(Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows

I've got the magic in me
(I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come
Snappin' at me
(They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants some presto

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me

Everyone - Singapore 2010 Theme Song

While we are in the midst of the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore, I thought it would be appropriate to share with people reading this blog the theme song for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games, Everyone, which is sung by Jessica Mauboy, Steve Appleton, Jody WIlliams, Tabitha Nauser & Sean Kingston.

The lyrics are in the music video. Enjoy!

Dance Forever - Allstar Weekend

Today's song is Dance Forever, by Allstar Weekend. Enjoy!



Lyrics to Dance Forever [Allstar Weekend]
Baby, get up
Open your eyes now
the world's waking up
you realize we'll walk
to the beat so suddenly
while we make believe that this will
last forever
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
this song speaks and
it's saying the real thing
it feels like we're living a dream
but tonight we're gonna
make this one right

We'll set the stage
and let the records play
on a Saturday
and we can dance forever
we'll burn the light that makes
the city sway
when we set the stage
and we can dance forever
forever X7
and we can dance together

We're crazy enough
to feel alive now
you've got the stuff
when we arrive
we'll walk to the beat so suddenly
and then you tell me
that we will stay together
We won't sleep 'til 3 in the morning
this song speaks and
it's saying the real thing
it feels like we're living a dream
but tonight we're gonna
make this one right

We'll set the stage
and let the records play
on a Saturday
and we can dance forever
we'll burn the light that makes
the city sway
when we set the stage
and we can dance forever
forever X7
and we can dance together

(Dance forever)
Turn around
just move it
with your feet on the ground
you'll prove it when you hear the sounds
we'll both lose it
then we'll make the rounds to dance forever

And when the music stops
and we can't wait for another day
well we'll just dance forever
We'll hold on tight and think of Saturdays
if you say my name
Then we can dance forever

We'll set the stage
and let the records play
on a Saturday
and we can dance forever
we'll burn the light that makes
the city sway
when we set the stage
and we can dance forever
forever X7
and we can dance forever

Song For Singapore - Corrinne May

Since today is National Day, today's Music Monday shall feature this year's National Day song, which is Song For Singapore, by Corrinne May. Hope you enjoy it!

I'm Awesome - Spose

Today I'm on a really good mood, so here's a really nice song :D Enjoy!



Lyrics to I'm Awesome [Spose]
Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome...
I don't necessarily need to be here for this...
I'm gonna keep the headphones though...
Mother fucker I'm awesome!
No you're not, dude don't lie
I'm awesome!
I'm drivin around in my mom's ride
I'm awesome!
A quarter of my life gone by
And I met all my friends online
Mother fucker I'm awesome!
I will run away from a brawl
I'm awesome!
There's no voicemail, nobody called
I'm awesome!
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my Facebook wall


You know my pants sag low (low)
Even though (though) that went out of style
Like ten years ago (go)
Spose, I got the swagger of a cripple
I got little biceps,
Getting fatter in the middle

And lyrically I'm not the best :)
Physically the opposite of Randy Moss and yet
So preposterous
Feel the awesomeness, the most obnoxious
Guest up at the sausage fest
Oh yes!
The girls are repulsed
So I hide in my hood like i'm joining a cult
Uh Uhh
I'm as nervous as my cattle dirty curtis
All my writtens are bitten and
All my verses are purchased
Me? I'll never date an actress
Got too many back zits
Plus my whole home aroma is cat piss
Every show i do is poorly promoted and if you like this,
It's cuz my little sister wrote it

I'm awesome!
No you're not, dude don't lie
I'm awesome!
I'm drivin around in my mom's ride
I'm awesome!
A quarter of my life gone by
And I met all my friends online
Mother fucker I'm awesome!
I will run away from a brawl
I'm awesome!
There's no voicemail, nobody called
I'm awesome!
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my Facebook wall
I'm awesome

Check it out

I'm from Maine and I don't hunt, nope
And I can't ski
Smoke weed but I can't roll blunts
Find me whipped by my wifey
My neck not icy
Eatin at McDonalds because Subway's pricey

Uh, and my unibrow is plucked
Just asked my mom if I could borrow ten bucks
She's like "For what?
Blunt wraps and some Heineken?
You skinny prick, go get a gym membership and vitamins!"
I'm like, Mom please, don't blame it on me
I got my bad habits from you, Dad, and Aunt Steve
My attitude's sour but my futon's sweet,
And the hair on my ass, it is Jumanji

Suit untailored, ringtone Taylor Swift
Can't tweet up on my Twitter
Cuz I haven't done shit
Bank account red, body ungroomed
The only thing good about me is I'm off stage soon

I'm awesome!
No you're not, dude don't lie
I'm awesome!
I'm drivin around in my mom's ride
I'm awesome!
A quarter of my life gone by
And I met all my friends online
Mother fucker I'm awesome!
I will run away from a brawl
I'm awesome!
There's no voicemail, nobody called
I'm awesome!
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my Facebook wall
I'm awesome

Futhermore I'm cornier than Ethynol
Cheesier than Provolone
I spent ages eight to ten living in a motor home
With a ego the size of Tim Duncan
Even though I got shit for brains like a blumpkin
I'm twenty four, serving lobster rolls
Because I spent a decade filling optimos
And I'm not even the bomb in Maine
On my game I'm only about as sexy as John McCain
Now put your hands up,
If you have nightmares
If you wouldn't man up if there was a fight here
If you got dandruff, if you drink light beer
I'm outta breath...

But I'm awesome!
No you're not, dude don't lie
I'm awesome!
I'm drivin around in my mom's ride
I'm awesome!
A quarter of my life gone by
And I met all my friends online
Mother fucker I'm awesome!
I will run away from a brawl
I'm awesome!
There's no voicemail, nobody called
I'm awesome!
I can't afford to buy eight balls
And I talk to myself on my Facebook wall
I'm awesome

Update for June + July 2010

It's almost two months since I last updated my blog with stuff from my life! Looks like it's time to update this blog with new stuff, so here's some of the key events that have occurred during the past two months.

1. Alpha Bravo Camp

This camp was really a tekkan leadership camp for all the class leaders, CCA heads and vice-heads, as well as councillors. Highlights of the camp include walking around Jurong and Clementi during the day, as well as walking from AJ to Marina Barrage at night! Of course the campers learnt a whole lot of stuff, like facilitation, goal-setting, SL matters, RAMS, conflict management, and the list goes on ... It's like how they use this camp to transfer all that the leaders need to know for leading their people :)

2. Singapore Rotary Club Installation 2010

This was held some time in the last week of June, before the common tests. I decided to come help out despite that night having been marked for GP revision. So I had a great night, helping usher the guests into the ballroom, and also taking photos with the President.

Yes, the President!!! Here's a photo that I took with the President of Singapore. Although I don't have the soft copy with me, this version that I photographed off the screen will suffice. It's not everyday that you get to be with the President; how cool is that?

3. Mid-Year Common Tests

So I studied during the second half of the June holidays for this. I was Astounded for Geography, Amazed for Physics and Chemistry, Mathematics was Awesome, but GP was Saddening. :(

4. Student Leader Handover Ceremony

This was held last week, during 22 July. See me at the bottom-left of the photo below?

It took two rehearsals, 2 "wasted" half days to prepare for this. The councillors and CCA leaders took up the bulk of the time, whereas the class leaders' section of the ceremony seemed to be added in as an afterthought: very short, very short :( Though we still got our 10 seconds of fame, as seen above :)

5. BPGHS's 50th Anniversary Dinner

This happened last Friday (23 July). I came at about 6 pm; by then the event had started, with a mass display performance like the National Day Parade display :D Then after the nice displays, it was time to go for dinner. But of course, the ants were earlier than us, and they happily transported the sugar/salt on the peanuts served back home, so no one dared to eat the peanuts.

Then dinner started, and we started taking photos. One by one teachers who taught us came over to our table (our table is with most of the people from the 2009 batch), and we took photos with them. I also did some exploring, and took photos with Mr Gui (!) and Mr Anthony (who was my coach 4 years back, during Band Comp 2006).

I also got the chance to take more photos with other friends and my band juniors.

The most memorable part of the night was the band's performance during the dinner. Before it started, band members past and present gathered at the front of the stage, whipping our their handphones to record their performance (me included!). Then they played, and they played many of the songs that I have played before; in fact it was some of the last songs that I have played during my sec 4 days.

6. AJ Interact Club's Installation

 Our installation, though it was carried out smoothly, was not without hiccups. A false start, ushers waiting aimlessly for ACJC's representatives that never materialised, were some problems. Nevertheless things got done, which is a relief. Finally we can return to our organisations every Wednesday!

That's all for now; hopefully I can update some more during the National Day holiday! :D
