My history: The songs which I used to play again and again

I suddenly had the thought of posting songs which I was rather 'obsessed' with at one time throughout the years.

As far as I remember, my first ever encounter with pop music was Wakin Chau 周华健. I would sneak into my brother's room when he went to school, take out his Wakin Chau's cassette tape from his drawer, and play it using the cassette player, almost every day. I also used to steal my brother's A4 papers to draw, thinking that he wouldn't realise since he had a thick stack of it. I think I know every thing that was in his drawers, including a legendary love letter from his senior (which was addressed to my then 13-year-old bro HAHAHAHA). We always teased him about that. That's the "perks" of having younger sisters so bro you have no choice lah. Ok I digressed. I don't know how exactly did I discover Wakin Chau in my bro's room, but I loved his songs. I was probably 6/7 years old.

【Classics from Wakin Chau】

Then the next pop music encounter was when the Jay Chou era hits, in early 2000s. I liked many of his earlier songs, sadly I lost interest in his newer compositions many years ago.

【開不了口 Hard to Say it Out 】

Then I fell in love with a song from Faye Wong, because of that I purchased her entire album (cassette tape) which costed RM17.90, a huge number for a kid. I used my dad's money though, I think he wasn't very happy hahaha. Then I just began to love her work, especially the non-mainstream ones.

【流年 Fleeting Time】  (Looooved it)

Around the same time our own homegrown Fish Leong came to popularity. I liked this song because I liked a small part of electric guitar playing in it. I guess that's the first sign of my later musical preferences. Hmmm. I still listen to Fish Leong a lot nowadays.

【如果有一天  One day, if...】

In secondary school, my brother had a lot of Japanese Rock songs in the only computer in our house. So, I ended up listening to them and liking Japanese Rock music. I think I just happened to like whatever that was available around me at that time. But this time, this has a long lasting effect.

I was obsessed with "HOWEVER" by GLAY due to the fact that I couldn't quite catch the melody of the song initially. Then I listened to it every single day lol.

【 HOWEVER 】

Then LUNA SEA came and broke my liking for sentimental songs. Then the rest is history (lol). I did not like the vocalist's voice at all. But, hah hah, there is only a fine line between dislike and like. I freaking loved his voice after seeing him singing live (I still maintain that he is the best vocalist in the world *laugh*).

【 Gravity 】


【 Rain 】

Old but gold, the last 3 minutes.

And of course, B'zzzzzzzzzz.

【 今夜月の見える丘に Tonight, at the hill where we can see the moon 】

Needless to say, alan. First impression was, "WOAH", when I saw her mv on TV for just a few seconds in 2011/2012.

【 明日への讃歌 A Hymn of Tomorrow 】

My 2014 favourite discover was a relatively obscure indie band, a paindyne. My favourite song of the year is "soothe", followed by "宇宙人", then "quasar". Always on my replay list.

【a paindyne - moonscape】


【 HaKU - Hikari 】

This song is reaaally addictive.

Ok I can't believe I persevered through this post. I am lazy already. The most recent one is by Flower (again).

【Flower - Call】


Tata for now.

Wait.
Where are the English songs? Ok la must add one or two in. The fact is that there are too many.

【 Breaking Benjamin - Forget it 】


"Forget it" was on a loop for forever.

【 Within Temptation - Memories 】

The lasting effect being that, my musical preferences become very band-oriented, plus if you suck as singing live, I would lose interest very quickly.

Catch-up with life with me

What's up with life? Life is back! Long-post is back!

Jigsaw puzzle

End of the year means jigsaw time. Still remains my favourite hobby. Finally get to try Ravensburger from Germany. The puzzle is "The Bizarre Bookshop 2", I have another 500-piece puzzle by the same artist titled "The Pantry" which is equally whimsical.

The Stone Cage

Been eyeing this out-of-print book since I read it three years ago, but the price offered on the internet is ridiculous (ranging from $250 to $290, is that not crazy or what?). This proves that this is indeed a rare book. I always dream that my uni library would one day present me the book when it is not wanted anymore, since I am the only one who would borrow it every year when I am here and keep it for the entire year (no joke). How much do I like this book? I even started to scan my library copy 'cause I thought I would never get my hands on the book (unless kena toto).

But I still had my hopes up. I subscribed for notifications of this book at eBay, and finally saw it offered at the starting price of $14. That is like what, 20 times cheaper than its usual secondhand price. It felt like the one and only chance I could get hold of it. What's best, the item was in Australia. Initially I hesitated as the shipping was not free but it's reasonable (postage here is rather expensive). I decided to close my eyes and bade on the book for $16. Luckily the first bidder couldn't care to compete with me, so I won my first bid on eBay. Hooraaah! The book smells ancient xD. It is just a strike of luck when I picked it up from the library three years ago, after I saw a silhouette of a cat on the book's spine. Lol. I will be missing my library a lot.

Bonus: Chapter 1

The smartphone

My old but very trusty friend Nokia 6600 died because it was drowned in water overnight. I was a careless fool. So I was without a phone for 3 months since August. It didn't make a difference in my life except that I could not call home. I hope not many people tried to call me. I lost all contact numbers and could only remember my family's. I remember telling myself I'd use my phone for at least 5 years before changing to a new phone. 2014 is the fifth year. :S

So I started to hunt for a new phone. I want it small, not pricey, don't care about brands as long as the specs are sufficient. I landed myself this. It turns out to be bigger than what I wanted, but for the price of $330 you get 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, 5MP front camera and 13MP primary camera. I like the design too (don't like it when the camera lens is in the upper middle position of the phone).

The in-between: of honeymoon and reality (suck-ish level depends on what country you are in)

So far I spend most of my life studying (count from 6 years old), I was thinking when my student life ends I really am not that young anymore. It feels like...wt hell. Do I feel I wasted my time? I only feel that because I am not passionate about what I am studying. I feel alright about it, sometimes I like it, but I do think from time to time it does not hold significant meaning in my life. But I am at the end of the journey, so I just need to suck it up. Or, I should give myself more credits. I tend to downplay my effort in everything I do.

I have been trying to play down negative thoughts in my mind recently. To be honest, once you throw away negativity in life, you will realise there are so many things you can do apart from being frustrated by things you don't have direct control. I am angry from time to time by the political and social situations in the country which makes me despise the country more and more. But, that's not good. It's so easy to give in to negativity, when in fact I can be much more than that. I distant myself from news as the medias do love to propagate negative news nowadays, and voila life is so much better. Get off the internet is the best way to realise you are free to enjoy life. First-world problem. It's not that I try to run away from the reality (we know too much to be ignorant), but one needs to be positive in the first place and then show them what stupid fools they are.

The game

November and December have always been my favourite months. I am just in a constant pleasant mood throughout. Also, it means another Mystery Case File game. Woohoo. A fan since secondary school. 

Still loving my escape-the-room games and hidden object games. I am quite a surprisingly loyal person (lol).

The music
Still liking Flower.

Let go again


One last thing

I still have one last thing to do and my life as a university student will finally come to an end. I will be missing it I am sure, and this city in which I spend 1/5 of my life. It's a great city, a place where your life can be productive as you are not bound by unnecessary frustration and discrimination. People are educated, unlike my countrymen who spit out stupid things all the time. Sigh, too bad my nostalgia and responsibility get the better of me (a good thing in some ways I suppose). But what holds for the future no one knows.

Note of the day
Just got the feedback for my essay (tutor is as efficient as ever). Due to time constraint and me being too distracted by other uni subject, I could not produce an essay which I was confident to hand in, but I handed in on time anyway. When I handed it in I felt like I wanted to bury my head somewhere. Just thinking about the essay somehow made me embarassed, as I didn't think I was succesful in delivering a coherent and solid analysis. In my head, the worst case scenario is to re-submit. When I saw the feedback e-mail today my heart skipped a beat. Didn't want to read it but needed to read it.

There goes the biggest surprise of November. The feedback is surprisingly very positive. I began to worry if that was a mistake the moment I read it. Like, are you sure about this my tutor? You SURE? My pessimistic nature. I hope it isn't a mistake, please. Yeah, I should credit myself more for the effort I put in, I think. I did do a lot of research, after all.

Pleasant Friday.

Music babble

Recently been re-discovering Japanese music, really liking this J-pop group so far, 'cause...gorgeous girls and dance. (*-*) Reading somewhere that a person's preference in music is basically determined way back when he or she was young. Actually, I don't think that's what the article is about but that's how I would vaguely (and wrongly) paraphrase its idea. Hek.

Listening to Japanese music since secondary school and it is sticking with me until now. Just something that I will go back to again and again. Youtube is a great invention seriously.

❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀ ✿ ❀
FLOWER - Akikaze no answer


FLOWER - Nettaigyo no namida


Just one thing. The name of the group. (9_9) It fits the concept of the group but it's a google nightmare for a name like this on the internet.

Create a little music player

I have been wanting to purchase digital music for quite some time, but Amazon has this ridiculous geographical restriction which prevents anyone not from certain countries from purchasing music. Maybe it is the record companies' decision, but is that not discouraging people from buying? Couldn't help but thinking oweeeell it really was easier to just download it off the internet than having to sit through this frustration.

I tried not to expand my already countless accounts on the internet (it is ridiculous how many passwords I need to reset each time I forget), so been refraining from trying iTunes as a new account is needed. I am totally one of those people who will immediately lose interest in a webpage if it requires sign-up to continue. Some news sites have it (ridiculous), even National Geographic has it. Just hooow annoying can these websites get? Really? You need an account to use a tablet because the platform that comes with it needs an account, you need an account to book accommodation online, you need an account to comment (the classic case of Youtube where Google forces you to register its Google+, which very little population of the earth actually uses, to comment), you even need an account to review something you had purchased. Woooot. The world is full of control freaks.

So, anything that makes my life easier will earn my little support. If I want to use your service, I will willingly sign up for it. If you force me to use your service, rest assured I will look upon you rather negatively. Like Google. I don't even know I have Google Drive. Friends wanna use Google Drive for group work, only then I realised, hey I somehow already have one, without my knowledge all this while. Just because I signed on to Youtube using a hotmail account 8 years ago.

Eventually decided to try iTunes as it has the largest music collection, and there is no dumb restriction which prevents a legit consumer from consuming a legit product. It turned out to be a breeze. Really easy. Don't even need to 'add to cart' then 'check out'. Even the duration of the song samples are longer than other sites. Just one problem, that is the bank charging transaction fee for each purchase. Each purchase! That suddenly makes one song expensive. You will be better off buying physical CDs really. (Excluding shipping fees). (Oh, I find out that those extra dollars are just Purchase Authorisation charged temporarily on the bank account. So all in all, still cheaper to buy digital music.)

***************************************************************************************

Actually this post was meant to be just 2 lines with some tests, whops. By using the tips here and here (How to add a music player in Blogspot), I have my little music player. 
It seems really hard to find a suitable host for audio files. Extra reading to 'secure' mp3 source.

First purchase, a band with 2 vocalists. (Nice idea!) 

 
a paindyne - Soothe


Second purchase, also from the same band.

 
a paindyne - Uchuujin （宇宙人）  


I like music which slowly builds up with rhythm and atmosphere.

I just realise this blog looks different in different browsers, even the music player looks different.

彼岸 · 花

《寓言》中，最爱的一首。

十二年后，依然不朽。

彼岸花，到底是 Flower of Paradise，还是 Flower of Hell 呢？

花的背后，是一些美丽悲伤的传说。

Such a beautiful live (*-*)

邪恶的巧合

这是什么？
写了一堆，undo时突然整篇变空白，来不及知道发生什么，结果在这个时间点autosave决定踩上一脚，帮我save了整片空白，怎么undo都只是空白。太邪恶了。幸好这里是写废话的地方，幸好不是写论文， 不然会翻桌疯掉。(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Autosave太危险了。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

茫茫Youtube中的歌一首。
日本乐队、好短的歌、易懂的词、难得好的英文发音（这句真的非常抱歉……）
结果是好听啊。歌词挺让人感触的，曲终人散后能怎样呢？
以前就知道这支乐队，听过Yubiwa （指輪, 即戒指）。日本的美式摇滚，让我大开眼界。Youtube 旁边的 list 有个乐队One OK Rock, 哗~ 还以为主唱在美国长大哩，那美式摇滚及英文让人惊讶。

又到了投诉的季节。

总会有一些琐碎小事，让人心烦气躁。而这些小事，小归小，却格外重要。归为小事，是因为你知道它将得以解决，不是什么无可挽回的大件事，只是一些繁文缛节让人心烦，耐性也被磨光。当你早在大半年前就开始着手解决问题，但有关当局在大半年后才通知你最好的方法是撤销你之前所做的，然后再开始着手，哗，真让人火大。大半年前开始着手，为的不就是希望早点解决问题，结果过程竟然那么复杂，哗，受不了，害人误了事，结果滋生更多需要解决的事，真的是去死啦，烦死了。耗了我大半年，现在我急了，他们能怎样啊？

这个福利好兼办事效率算快的国家办事已如此，怪不得大马更加糟糕了。每次看到报导说向某某当局申诉或询问意见都得不到回应，不了了之，实在是不让人惊讶的，因为你我在这里都曾遇过如此情况。这里的人办事不是得过且过，而是看了当作没看过。所以，我应该庆幸我的事情不需要在这里解决，至少每询问都有人回复再给予帮助吧，只是，整件事竟然要超过半年的时间？其他更重要的事情还在后头等我啊。哼哼哼哼哼！

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 好想去看一场演唱会、文化表演或交响乐啊。

明日的赞歌

我觉得她唱得好好听啊。
我想我对以歌唱为职业的人有偏见 。
看歌手唱live, 如果唱功好，我会像发现新大陆一般非常愿意去听听那个歌手或乐团的歌曲，除非歌手声音真不是我的那杯茶，除非歌曲类型我不会听 （你很烦呀）。Music player 里的歌，大部分是这样来的 （YouTube是伟大发明！） 

编曲与背景音乐对我而言更加重要 ，只是能把这些做得有层次，让人觉得“哗哗哗哗”想鼓掌的，很难遇上（Luna Sea 是例外啊啊） 如果听过某歌手或乐团，觉得歌还不错也对胃口，但现场破功……的话嘛，我会翻脸的。

偶尔还是可以妥协的。只是，大大部分背景音乐一定要是真真实实的乐器打出来的，不然我的耳朵拒绝聆听。（噗噗）

所以，bands & 交响乐万岁！

流浪的 红舞鞋

想写些什么，却没写，就这么过了一阵子。
之前因为晚上太闲，听着王菲的歌，觉得翻译成英文好像很好玩，于是翻了一下（无聊的人就是觉得无聊的事很好玩）
《流浪的红舞鞋》，一直觉得像小学时的完成短文似的，歌词一段一段的。


蓝色黄昏      流浪儿
慵懒的歌      红马车
梧桐遮住了
舞蹈的鞋
马戏团描出声色

不管      你有一分钱或黄金万贯
不管      你是一只蚂蚁还是个上帝

我愿意翘盼
安然地醉酒微酣
红胡子的老人
微笑多恬淡
我的舞鞋旋转
歌唱到疯癫
我愿弃世登仙
旋转的车轮来为我献欢
我怎会疲倦

The Wandering Red Dancing Shoes

Blue twilight.
Strayed children.
Indolent song.
Red carriage.
Chinese Parasol is blocking
the dancing shoes
Circus brings out
colours and voices

Whether or not, you have a cent or countless golds
Whether or not, you are an ant or a god

I am willing to hope eagerly
In peace, intoxicated softly
 That old man with red beard, his smile so serene
 My dance-shoes are spinning

Songs are sung, till madness coming
I am willing to forsake this world, to reach divinity
 Revolving cartwheels, they come to cheer for me
 why would I even feel jaded?



不知为什么，觉得英文的 verb to be 既 am is are 挺破坏气氛(Gasp! "To be or not to be, that is the question")。翻着翻着，似乎越来越理解词的意思，亦似乎越来越不理解。就像以前画人的肖像，画同样的脸久了，再也搞不懂到底是画得像还是不像。若觉得不像，却找不到哪里不像； 觉得像吧，突然又觉得眼睛画歪了，之类。人脑一直都是这样的吧。打了那么多的“像”字，突然觉得我好像很不熟悉这个字了。天啊，真是自找麻烦。这种事情很常发生，譬如说到某个词，说出口后你会觉得那个词似乎怪怪的，一边想，那个词真的一直都是形容某个东西的词吗？

也尝试翻了《流年》，但好难啊，英文和中文有时候很不合拍。字字斟酌挺费时的。

我好想出去吃喝玩乐！

It's MOONsoon!

I never thought through how humid Malaysia is, until I feel it on my skin this year. One word, uhgg.

Here in this state which is infamous for its monsoon seasons, one will really feeeeel it when the maximum humidity strikes. E.g., suddenly the interiors of your wooden closets are wrapped by happy little white fungus. I don't know what will happen if I inhale them while cleaning them off, but well, I have been inhaling them for years. 

But but, in recent years, maybe my wooden furniture has finally become genuine dead wood, most fungus don't like them anymore, which is something worth celebrating. Also,this awesome invention - dehuminifier, really makes your wood barren. It makes the piano in my house functioning, or else the piano will ruin your day, no kididng, even heater doesn't help. There's this one looong heater that is running from one end to the other inside the piano and it's on 7/24, but the keys are still like sagging skin losing all elasticity. It was borrowed by Mr. Piano Technician, but I doubt he remembers at all. When he finally remembers it, hopefully the heater is still breathing.


Today on this very cloudy day, let the band that invites storms sing for you. Weee weeeeeeeee~~~

不就看了两集的韩国剧，那配乐在我脑里住了快三天。难道这就是所谓的余音绕梁？但也难怪，那首配乐几乎"盘旋"每一集。

最近一天看蛮多日剧，结果出去时经过身边的人说的话 在我听来都是日语。真的。搞得我频频回首看他们。

机缘巧合下，被我挖了出来。
喜欢。我忘了原唱者是Kiroro，想起后才觉得还真有 Kiroro 的风格。 怀念。这首歌是我常听电台的那个时候播的呢。

最近一直画，好~~~~~~~有满足感呀哈哈哈。 但画得慢死了。放假了，我还有一些东西留在studio，但根本不想踏进studio，真糟糕。拖了五天，不知它们是否已命丧垃圾桶…我其实也不太想理。假期嘛，不用脑，我脑袋里那些乱七八糟的也减少一半。

最近也好想看戏剧，但我的网路data不是无限的，唉唉。还有，ulcer 袭击我的嘴，很讨厌呀！！吃东西困难，搞得我也懒得吃（骗人的）。明天去买薯片吧哈哈哈，食物减价是很难让人抗拒的。

Pop pop pop

Rarely do I listen to this kind of music. Most of the time it makes me headache. Artificial sounds are so hard to digest.
But a certain electropop beats is just nice.

Susumu Hirasawa - The Girl in Byakkoya

I think its composition is marvellous.
This is the song from "Paprika" directed by Satoshi Kon (今敏）. He is not as widely known as Hayao Miyazaki, but he makes really unique animations.
I know him through "Millenium Actress" (千年女优) years ago, which its directing impresses me.

Clips from "Paprika". Animation like this is irresistable!

Ayumi Hamasaki - Evolution (Live)

Live performances are always magical.
They make you like songs you used to dislike, reallllly.
The piano version of this song is very nice too.


Treasures I discover today!

Yanni - The Storm

There you go crazy harp.
This song is based on Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons - Summer", with a traditional beat that sounds a bit techno. Yanni is branded "New Age"...Not for the conservative classical music lovers.

Yanni's lives are very captivating.
Everyone is so talented in the orchestra. The keyboardist's solo, the violinist's solos, the didgeridoo player's solo (yeah...) ... ~sigh~

Yanni - World Dance

I don't mind paying 100AUD to see him live.

Maksim Mrvica - Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

Maksim oh Maksim ♥
Originally by Ryuichi Sakamoto (坂本 龍一), for the movie Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983).
The original one is very soothing.
*~Dancing~*

Who is this handsome guy

Ini Chopin. 

Wow, I thought of Chopin as if he's from long-long-ago land.

I am unaware that he is quite modern. 

(Don't argue with the definition of 'modern' here, it's a feeling)

Yeah he is handsome 'cause he made good music 

ahahahah

He died at age 39. (What? *sob*)
Many of my favourite pieces from him are posthumous,
which are published after his death.

Waltz Op. 64, No. 2

Providence

I only like providence in this form.
It's hauntingly beautiful.

Providence, rendered by the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.
There are many good music which
you may not discover them in your whole life.
But there's no other way apart from coincidence.
