快乐的大房子

wat's an album i've listened to w/o having some comments on it? hmmm... borrowed reviewed 2 albums from wei-gu: z chen's 《快乐》 & stef sun's 《完美的一天》 b4 the exams period & had been listening to them now and then.

yup, cos they weren't as attractive as the prev albums i owned. bleah.

not really lah.

okok... i muz say z chen is not my type. even tho the album was basically a 口水 album, ie the songs were other popular songs, i muz say dat his taste really deviates from mine. or perhaps the music arrangement is far from my type (cos i've neva heard most of the songs in their original form to conclude firmly).



Kuai Le ~ Z Chen

u see, the only original song, 《快乐》 was the only song dat attracted me and incidentally, ranks high in my hierarchy of song preference. another song 《放你的真心在我的手心》 also sound gd, esp the choral pt. 《担心》 was gd only cos i liked the original song enuf to keep up w the new version.

the other songs juz lull me to sleep.

i mean, isn't R&B like jay chou, w middle-to-fast tempo? or for slow ballads, the melody will b captivating enuf for a listener to stay alive? i dunno much abt R&B, and perhaps z chen was using another music genre in the album. still, it sux.

wat abt stef? it's a happy album, generally, or so my impression tells me. i prefer her mid-to-fast tempo songs, cos the slower ballads also tend to b boring. not like 《我的爱》 which was charming enuf to capture my heart.


Wan Mei De Yi Tian ~ Sun Yanzi

the only impressionable ballad was 《隐形人》, of which it was stef's expression dat took my attn. she was gd in dat song, as gd as 《同类》. yup, but i still haven't given enuf attn to it to figure out the contents of the song.

my 3 favs of the album will b 《完美的一天》、《第一天》 & "Honey Honey". superb!

《完美的一天》 can b said to b quite 随性. truly. i like its laid back feel. u noe, totally expressing the emotions of a day-dreamer (like me). not mentioning the lyrics, the melody and arrangements itself brings me to another realm, the realm of daydreams where reality and fantasy merge.

as usual, critrics critic 《第一天》 to b substandard (my fav songs r always deemed substandard lol). they said it sound like rojak rather than of distinctive flavour of MayDay or FIR. i mean, hello, it's supposed to b the mix of the 2 bands! somehow, i feel MayDay more than FIR, in the line of 《终结孤单》. the song was totally ecstasized and a gd prozac for the depressed minds. i haf decided to play the song out loud on the day when i graduate and start living in US. yes!!! First Day! Today! Everyday!

"Honey Honey" is a very attractive song. like cyndi's "Honey", the song is sweet, but in another dimension. the former is aggressively sweet, while stef sounded passively sweet. the music arrangement is nice, and lifts spirits moderately (in comparison to First Day)... yep, i'd like my gal to be passively sweet. hmmm... *slurp*

if i hafta make any conclusion or recommendation, buy stef's album, dun buy z chen. lol

Springcleaning On X'mas For CNY

the prob w having CNY so early in the calendar yr is dat precious holiday period hafta b slotted for the annual springcleaning. kaoz... springcleaning is ok if i haf been cleaning my rm freq, but when i haf a yr of sedimentary materials to clear, ermz... well, it's super turn-off.

and wat w a gigantic cockroach making its grand appearance the nite b4... i was half expecting to c a nest of nymphs and eggcases as i cleaned.

i thank santa for not giving them to me as a gift, cos i haf been very bad dis yr.

so, i started cleaning from the windows, to my table, to my bed, then to the door.

and pt1 of the cleaning, on x'mas eve, ended w me going off for an overnight mahjong at hf's hse. and well, dat is another story.

day 2, x'mas day, i came home and slept for 2 hrs, cos i was awakened by the delivery man from ikea asking to deliver the gds earlier.

yes, u've heard me rite. i had new furniture from ikea which i ordered last thurs.

i had a trolley for the dining table, cos i found dat too many stuff was piled onto it and marred the beauty of the glass table. a trolley to put away the sauces/pepper bottles, tupperware and such will clear the prob (for at least 1/2 a yr, b4 new immigrants find their way to the table...)




songa trolley, $19.00. and hey! my roach bait in the foreground

after tackling the easiest job, i moved on to the new bedside table meant for the small 14-inch TV in my mum's rm. it was a bit more tricky, w screws, rivets and castors. i was half afraid dat something will go out of the way and spoil the exterior of the furniture the way a nail pierced thru my CD-tower some yrs back.

thankfully, it went juz as well.



new bedside table

lastly, the major proj. the new shelf for MY rm. yes... it's like handling urban sprawl. when landed property becomes ugly w squatters, it's time for high-rise tenements, hence my 5-storey shelf to accomodate the present residents (and factoring out the possibility of new immigrants, again).



the 1st new resident is of cos my little-used organ. hoping dat w dis new, user-frenly location, i'd b able to pick up some finger-exercise in the new sem. lol

the setting up of this behemoth turned out to b VERY tricky. and 1 fine advice i gif will b dat for bigger, more complicated furniture, PLS READ THE MANUAL. neva b like me. cos it's v frustrating to haf to screw out the nails again and again due to lack of knowledge. esp when the nails is some 2m above floor level.

somehow, i suppose i was doing mankind a gd deed when i din go study archi.

but i do eventually set it up (ah-budden??) and celebrated the entrance of the new member of my rm. indeed, it shd treasure such moments, cos in the near, near future, a new speaker system will replace its position as a newbie. yay!!!

ironically, the speakers will reside on the shelf. lol


shelf from far...

十七岁的天空

i'm not supposed to declare dis, but the DVD came in my post last thurs.


Formula 17: the swimming pool, ultimate fantasy spot

u noe, cos dis show is freaking banned in s'pore, i am so afraid dat some smart ass will dial 999 to report me if he reads abt my possession of the abovementioned.

so now, i declare dat the above info was a JOKE. i hold no such contraband. pls dun pao toh me. pls dun arrest me.

aniwaes, the show was so freakingly cheesy dat it was at the same time freakingly amusing to watch. dunno whether stereotype or wat, but gays haf always been portrayed as super drama queens, as proven in the show.

when alarmed, they muz scream in falsetto, two arms raised and chest wiggling.

but dat's wat the 2 gay frens i knew in army acted like too. guess they haf taken dat up as a form of identity.

expectedly, the protoganists r actually straight-looking guys whose only gay axns were the sex scenes w each other.


leads: duncan and yang tian you

i mean, come on lah. no wonder the show was a hit among the AJs. the ultimate object of desire was a hunky (or at least proportionate), handsome, straight man for them. the 2 leads were literally a dream come true, if it was ever true at all.

and of cos, one of them has to b a virgin.


小天

and his 1st love is the charming, oh-so-popular-but-dangerous playboy.


bai tie nan

whoa... dis dream is becoming too gd to b true.

well, if the 3 supporting actors who acted as 小天's 破身特功队 were straight in their real lives, i muz say they did an amazing job to act like gays. i mean, it wasn't juz like 谢韶光 acting sissy in Holland V, but rather, drama queens w real affections for other men, gays would ogle at guys the way straight guys ogle at chio bu. the char-moulding had been gd as well.


破身特攻队

one was the pint-sized '0'-type who looked so blur w his slit eyes and 'o'-shaped mouth (literally stayed dat way thru out the show), but actually can't b stepped on. one is a macho mary, whom, w/o knowing him in person, u will neva expect him to b gay. another one was the outward social animal who literally wears the whole fashion boutique (and make-up box) on himself.

so vivid, so farnie.

and not to mention the tag in the trailer:

10位青春偶像联合打造

frankly speaking, all of them looked above ave if not awesome (most of whom had cameos were models). the only female-object i saw was a saleswoman in a boutique, which was in the background of a street scene.

so there was the 台湾水电工 (it was a tw joke, some tw male pornstar shot to fame w his debut as a 水电工), and 半兽人. and of cos, the seemingly obstacle betw the two male leads' love: 俊.


白铁男 and 俊 kiss

btw, story goes dat the last virgin in tw goes to city in sch hols to mit his net-fren, 半兽人 whose aim was to go to bed w him. 小天 puts up in gd fren 小宇's hse, who showed him ard. when noeing dat 小天 was still a virgin, he ganged up w his buddies to help him 破身. in comes 白铁男 whom 小天 falls head over heals for. they finally 嘿咻~嘿咻, and in the next morning, 白铁男 who suffers from phobia of falling in love scoots away and asked 俊 to explain to 小天 on his behalf. misunderstandings developed and they finally got together when 白铁男 overcame his phobia.

simple story, cheesy, but easy to digest.

the way they tell the story was gd too. i tot at 1st dat telling the pt of 小宇 falling out of love was redundant. but it helped later in the show to keep it in a fast pace when the same fate befalls on 小天. by using the same technique of 3 frens accompanying by his side trying to distract him from his sadness, the presentation was crisp, easily understandable and 前后呼应, sth (i dunno for e lit) impt in c lit terms.


gd frens, loyal frens

and there's the hilarious gong gor (tell story) pts. in order for the film not to lose pace, they tell 'histories' by having one of the char telling the story as a fly-on-the-wall. lights dimmed and the story unfolds in a black rm. the storyteller will 'float abt' as if he was a transition of the scenes. add in the bohemian, tribal music and everything was stupidly farnie.

come on, watching farnie shows was to laugh at farnie scenes and 4get abt logic and reality. reality isn't farnie, which was y we watch movies and drama serials.


bishonen has it, lan yu has it, surely f17 muz haf its 'bathroom scene' too

all in all, the show shd not b taken into too serious a context. after all, it depicts a dream world for all gays (a gay-majority society?? come on...) and will remain a dream for some time to come. wat's to take note of is the fact dat gays r like normal ppl, who can love and care for frens and families, definitely not the kind of monster as seen by gay-bashers. they r, after all, humans.
