1000 Oceans

It is what it is.

C'est la vie...

Only When I Sleep

One of my favourite songs from The Corrs. I love their unplugged versions. Listening to this sure does brings out a lot of memories...

Apa jadi dgn diorang ek sekarang ni?
Apa-apa pun, jom layannn... ^_^

You're only just a dreamboat
Sailing in my head
You swim my secret oceans
Of coral blue and red
Your smell is incense burning
Your touch is silken yet
It reaches through my skin
And moving from within
It clutches at my breast

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

Somewhere in my sleep
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep

And when I wake from slumber
Your shadow's disappear
Your breath is just a sea mist
Surrounding my body
I'm workin' through the daytime
But when it's time to rest
I'm lying in my bed
Listening to my breath
Falling from the edge

But it's only when I sleep
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe
Somewhere in my sleep, (in my sleep)
Got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But its only when I sleep
It's only when I sleep

[Sharon & Andrea solo]

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High
In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

It's reaching through my skin
Movin' from within
And clutches at my breasts...

But it's only when I sleep...
See you in my dreams, (dreams)
You got me spinning round and round
Turning upside-down
But I only hear you breathe

In bed I lie
No need to cry
My sleeping cry
Hawaiian High

But it's only when I sleep
Got me spinning round and round
(Turning upside-down)

Up to the sky
Where angels fly
I'll never die
Hawaiian High

But it's only when I sleep...

I WILL SURVIVE!!

Let's get jiggy, ladies!

At first I was afraid I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights
Thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong!
And I learned how to get along!

So now you're back from out of space

I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock!
I should have made you leave your key!
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Go on now, go, walk out that door!
Just turn around now
cause you're not welcome any more
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt (crush) me with goodbye?
Did I crumble
Did I lay down and die

Oh no, not I! I will survive!
Oh and as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
And I'll survive!
I will survive! Hey, hey!

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
Kept tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart!
And I spent oh so many nights
just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry!
But now I hold my head up high

And you see me somebody new!
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
And so you feel like droppin' in
and just expect me to be free,
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who is loving me!

Lagu2 yg Menggamit Kenangan Nostalgia

Bila dengar balik lagu-lagu ni, teringat pulak masa zaman muda remaja belia dulu...

SHADES

Siap beli kaset diorang lagi tau (zaman dulu mana ada lagi CD-CD ni ler). Ada 2 sebab.
Satu: Suka dengar diorang punya harmonisation, & kalau diorang perform live best jugak la. Lagu 'Malam' & 'Jangan Kau Ucap Selamat Tinggal' ni antara my favourites & yang temankan study memalam masa kat asasi sains UM dulu.
Dua: Masa tu ada 'ter'minat gila kat one of them, heheh... :D

FEMININ

Adusss, lagu yang dipaksa kena nyanyi masa minggu haluansiswa kat 6th college dulu. Masa tu abis je lecture belum sempat kitorang nak keluar lecture hall seniors semua serbu masuk & terus 'kena'kan kitorang, huhu. Sebab nak kena ambik tandatangan punya pasal terpaksa la jugak tebalkan muka. Lawak la jugak bila teringat balik kena nyanyi lagu ni sekuat hati kat dalam lecture hall, nasib baik tak hujan lepas tu, kekekeke...

KOOL

Bebas; peribadi mu, perhatikan lah
Bebas; tingkah laku mu,
Jangan sampai tersalah pilihan hidupmu, yeah...
Jaga lah personalitimu
Bebas masa depanmu...

Good advice, ain't it? ^_^


Agaknya apa lah citer diorang semua sekarang ni ek?

I wonder.....

NB: Sah dah takde keja lain skang ni. Exam habis sudah, kena start packing+mengemas lah pulak. Aduhai, kemalasan melanda diriku ini.....

Zee Avi / KokoKaina

I love her musical style! So jazzy and soothing. A Malaysian with a Youtube success story. Read more about her here.

Enjoy!

98 DEGREES & Counting

Remember this?

At the time when boybands were sprouting like poisonous mushrooms everywhere, I've gotta say that 98 Degrees is definitely a class above them all. Unlike other boybands that were assembled by the recording/talent companies, these guys actually had formed a group on their own before getting themselves a manager and signing on with a record label.

I love their voices, how they harmonize and blend their voices with each other. And yes, they sound good live too! In fact, personally them singing live is way better than the recorded stuff. And I could still remember my sister telling me "Sedih kan sebenarnya lirik lagu Invisible Man ni? He likes her but she doesn't notice him. Cian kat dia..."
Ingat lagi tak ezra? ;P

They came to Malaysia a couple of years ago (when I was in college) to perform. At the time I was already a fan, and plus the tickets were very very affordable. Buy 1 cassette you get 1 ticket, buy 1 CD you get 2 tickets! Crazy right? It's as if the tickets were free only. Plus you get to keep the CDs/cassettes some more. Since it was a no brainer I went and bought 1 CD and 1 cassette, finally had gotten myself 3 tickets in total: 1 for me and 2 for my (younger) sisters. Bawak la diorang sekali sebab kesian tak penah gi tgk konsert kat mana2 lagi kan. Kakak mithali, chewah... :D

The showcase was at the Sunway Lagoon amphitheater. All through the show, there were lotsa screaming fans (it was mostly girls, go figure) and they were literally shrieking away when they were not singing along with the boys. Saya pun agak teruja lah jugak masa tu, tapi takleh nak lawan dgn adikku si dokter yg memula malu-malu tapi akhirnya terjerit-jerit keseronokan jugak, hehehe... It was really fun because I got to see and hear 98 Degrees live, watch the antics of fanatic fans, and see that my sisters had fun that night too. Well I've never really asked them how it was for them, but by them screaming their heads off and singing along means that they were having a good time then yeah, they might be. As for me, suffice to say that I had a sore throat that lasted for 2 days, a side effect from the sing-a-long cum shrieking session that night, lol...

98 Degrees didn't get as OTT famous as BSB or N'Sync back then although their sound has quality. Hey, I love BSB and N'Sync too ok. Yeah peeps, I was a boyband fan, huhu. But the truth is I like music for its sound and harmony regardless who performs it and from which genre it is. I can listen to any and all kinds of music EXCEPT for dangdut and house/club. Serious tak boleh layan ah lagu-lagu cenggitu, isk...

Eventhough they haven't split up 98 Degrees are now in a hiatus. I hope they will come out with something new soon because I'm sure their fans can't wait for their reappearance in the music scene (termasuk lah saya rasanya)... ^_^

PCD Rocks!!

Saw this back then in 2005, I think, when PCD made their live onstage performance on Fashion Rocks. They were an unknown group back then, but as soon as I saw this I could feel it in my bones that they would make it big. And look at them now....

Oh gosh, they just blew me away with this performance and I never grew tired of watching it...

I Wanna Be A Rockstar!

Haha, yeah right.....

I'm Sick & Tired...

... of EXAMS!!!!!

"STRONGER"

I'll make it through the rainy days

I'll be the one who stands here longer than the rest

When my landscape changes, rearranges

I'll be stronger than i've ever been

No more stillness, more sunlight,

Everything's gonna be alright

I know that there's gonna be a change

Better find your way out of your fear

If you wanna come with me

Then that's the way it's gotta be

I'm all alone and finally

I'm getting stronger

You'll come to see

Just what I can be

I'm getting stronger

Sometimes I feel so down and out

Like emotion that's been captured in a maze

I had my ups and downs

Trials and tribulations,

I overcome it day by day,

Feeling good and almost powerful

A new me, that's what i'm looking for

I didn't know what I had to do

I just knew I was alone

People around me

But they didn't care

So I searched into my soul

I'm not the type of girl that will let them see her cry

It's not my style

I get by

See i'm gonna do this for me...


-Sugababes-

Blast & Drum Corps

This one really did "blew" me away...




And I was going ga-ga over this one too...




My goodness, what I wouldn’t give to watch them performing live….. Though I’m a faithful woodwind-ist, the brass section and the percussions have always fascinated me. Well, what to do, once a band geek always a band geek…..
Rindunya band!!
