Tonight..

....was such a waste of a Saturday night!!

Two songs

Actually my preference in songs vary largely and are very much influenced by the people around me.

If you flip through my iPod, you would be surprised. I have old chinese songs such as Faye Wong and Jacky Cheung, and even Aaron Kwok, and I have old English songs such as Bee Gees, Eagles, and Lionel Ritchie, and I also have newer music like Britney, Justin Timberlake, Black Eyed Peas, LMFAO, Rihanna and so on and so forth.

Oh yea, I also have a few French Songs given to me by a friend, and a few Japanese songs also given by another friend, and some Spanish songs given by another friend.

That is basically how I accumulate music. Either some friends or Winnie gave them to me. :)

I can't be bothered to download or buy music myself. If no one gives me anything, I copy them from the computer network at work from the shared folder.

So yea.

I think songs can evoke really strong memories. Some songs will always remind me of some things.

For instance, earlier at work today, Fergie's song Glamorous came on. This song will always remind me of London Bridge. Why? During that walk/bus/tube from home to school, I always have to pass by London Bridge. That short walk from uni to the tube station, or uni to the bus stop, or uni to some kebab shop.

And I always have my earphones on. Somehow that song is the one that I think of. That relates. I think its because then, Fergie's big ass poster was posted on the billboard at London Bridge! :D

But I digressed.

That is why it is so hard to pick two songs! Hmm..let's see. Right now, in this instant, as I am typing this, I am all dressed up waiting for cs to get dressed so we can go out..

In my head, right now is Rihanna's Who's that chick, because I danced to this song myself. Earlier on. Alone. At home. For exercise. Ha. You don't do that?



And for the sake of some romance..



George Michael's Careless Whisper.

This was the song I said (years ago), that I would dance to at my wedding. On my wedding night, the MC, William Tong dedicated this song to me..

But I was wayy too shy to get up to dance then..

I suppose, in a way, this will always be my song. It has no special memories. Its just me.

When sleepy, do this..

Its a slow day..and i feel like doing nothing. All i want is to go home and lie down in this same exact spot.

Thursdays are evil!!

I got all photos n videos from my wedding already. Now for the uploading photos, blogging, printing photos part..

Blah blah blah..

I just wana laze around like a sea slug today..

I blame the weather.

Three Films

Three Films

Now this is difficult for me. I don't watch much movies, compared to the normal person. I'm comparing myself to Kevin and Winnie. They know so much more about movies than me.

So, I'm just going to do this based on how I like it.

1) Sex and the City. The series and both movies. Thanks to Nancy, I'm hooked on Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte and their love sex lives.



2) Grey's Anatomy. Why do not many people like to watch this?! Its nice! I realize I suck at describing things. Everything is "nice" and "interesting". Fail.



Grey's Anatomy revolves around the lives of a bunch of surgeons, particularly Meredity Grey (hence the name), and her friends' lives in the hospital. Every episode starts with a new case in the hospital, and it is interesting (see what I mean).

3) Parent Trap. The movie. Starring Lindsay Lohan. This is an old, old movie, made in 1998, and one of my favorites.



From Wikipedia: It stars Dennis Quaid and Natasha Richardson as a couple who divorce soon after marrying, and Lindsay Lohan in a dual role as their twin daughters, who are accidentally reunited after being separated at birth.

I don't know why its listed as one of my favorite movies of all times, but it just is. Along the same cheesy genres as Pretty Woman. Yeah, I watched that many times too.

4 books..

This 10 day challenge is more like 20 day challenge to me. Took me so long to get through this haih fail.

Anyhoo. Today is 4 books. Only four? How to squeeze in four?

JK Rowling's series has 7 books leh. So, I guess I'm done then.

1) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

2) Harry Potter and the Half blood prince

3) Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

4) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire


Easiest challenge by far! Heh.

I'm not kidding. JK Rowling is a genius and if you haven't read her books yet, please do!

Aside from her, I also read almost all of Sidney Sheldon's collection. Particularly like Memories of midnight, the other side of midnight, master of the game, bloodline, if tomorrow comes, and I can't think of others now. These are off the top of my head.

I'm too lazy to give a commentary about each book, but if you want, Google it! Can easily find the free ebook even.

I know that for a period of time, everyone was raving about Dan Brown's da Vinci code. Wow-ee. Its nice. Interesting. Made me want to go to the Louvre again. No lah seriously his books are good too: Angels and Demons, Digital Fortress, Deception Point. That new book of his: The Lost Symbol - I went to read the ebook. Somehow it seems confusing and not that interesting. Not a page turner and I never finished it.

But I don't re-read his books the way I do with other authors. Such as, JK Rowling (of course), and Jodi Picoult.

I know Winnie would scoff because she thinks its dead depressing, but I think its interesting, the way it makes you think/wonder even after you finish the book a few days after reading it. Some of my favorites include: Picture Perfect, Nineteen minutes, and of course My Sister's Keeper.

My Sister's Keeper was the first book I bought. I remember that I was wandering around some market in Westminster or Covent Garden when I came across some stalls selling second hand books. I picked up this book and started reading the synopsis at the back. Read the first page and that's it. Bought it for 50p only. 50p = RM3.50 at then exchange rates. Score!



My version of the book was probably one of the first editions (tried to google it but can't find it) before it got so commercialized by the movie. Watched the movie btw - didn't really like it.

Recently, I'm reading John Grisham's books. Because I got a whole lot of them for very cheap at the recent book fair. His books are mostly about legal thrillers. Kah Ling, if you ever want to take up reading, you can try his books since you're a future lawyer. :)

I went to Wikipedia John Grisham. Apparently he went to law school and quit being a lawyer so he could continue writing. Oohh. I finished reading: the Firm, the Client, a Time to Kill, Skipping Christmas, and the Testament. Definitely page turners.

I'm such a geek. I like knowing I have a pile of books waiting for me to be read..:)

Unfortunately, my husband doesn't like it when I read. Apparently I get too preoccupied and ignore him. 0_o

Bye!
