Yet Another

I think SPH and I are fated. Really… Because I won Tank‘s new single!!! xD I remembered there was also a question in the lucky draw, “??????????????” I voted “NO” and sent out the form, and didn’t think much. Little did I expect I really won Tank’s single. LOLx!

Anyway guys, I’m fine now, no worries! Guess what cheered me up (besides the lucky draw)? Actually, not really words of comfort, instead, it was some serious talk which made me look at things from a different angle. I’m already prepared for the worst, but I’ll still continue praying…

I’m seriously addicted to ???, with chilli pepper, it’s the best. xP

*Another very random post. Sigh…

Bad 2007?

I always have a feeling year 2007 won’t be a good one. A series of unfortunate events has fallen on me ever since the start of the year.

At times, I really feel like spilling my ‘knowledge’ of vulgarities out. But I know I’ll regret it, so it’s better to control that ‘temptation’. =.=
I hope I will get to do what I really want.

Can someone, or something cheer me up? =(

Dieci

Finally got back my results a few days ago. A little surprise – one A, one B, three C+, two C. I’m most disappointed with my Digital Imaging and Typography, because I got the lowest grade for them. Rahhh!!! On a lighter note, there’s an A and no D’s this time round! Yay~ It’s a very huge surprise that the only A is the grade for 3D. O.o!!! I don’t know how I manage to do that, but I find myself lagging behind every lesson and always struggling to keep up. Oh well…but last semester’s GPA really pulled the current one down by A LOT. Damn! I hope this will not be the case in second year. =.=

After “quite some time”, I went back to my primary school yesterday, for my sister’s Innovation Day thingy. Woots! I saw my Primary 6 Chinese teacher, Miss Liu (now Mdm Liu). Haha! Had a little chat before going off. Heh!

Went to Suntec today for some Shin Min record breaking thingy. They had some celebrities’ auction items for charity, and Yanzi donated her NDP 2003 grand finale costume. OMG…the starting price was $688. =.= When my mum saw it, she asked, “Are her shoulders that small?” LOLx! Then I saw one of the Tank’s fans (I don’t know her name) over there too, and she asked me if I was there to bid for Yanzi’s item. Of course no…I’m not that rich. =.= Hur hur…unexpectedly, she knows that I’m a Yanzi fan although we didn’t even talk before. O.o

Then, met up with the YanziUnlimited peeps for board making at the usual place – Esplanade underpass. Heh! Cut a lot of “pyramids” till the skin on my index finger peeled off. Woo~

Listening to [??] album for the tenth time. GUGI GUGI!

[Against the Light] Review

Yesterday was such a depressing day for me, as I couldn’t go out to collect my Yanzi’s album. Furthermore, Aud was high-ing over the songs on MSN, while Ade and Bear were discussing about the album packaging. What a torture! Finally, I got it today and listened to it immediately and has played it for 3 times. Ahhh! Excited! Overall, it’s another masterpiece by Yanzi worth applauding. I’m not good at reviewing, but I shall give my most honest opinions on each song below.

01. In The Beginning (8/10)
Instrumental introduction to the album. Produced and piano played by Yanzi! Sounds beautiful yet mysterious… Imagine the pyramids of Eygpt.

02. ?? (8.5/10)
I like the progression of the musical arrangement throughout the song.

03. ???? (8/10)
Simple and clean melody, sounds like a cute lullaby.

04. ???? (9.5/10)
Fun and fast-paced song, very catchy tune. Love the funny, unique and comical Yanzi’s style of rapping. I just can’t stop laughing whenever I hear the rap which is written by her too. LOL!!!

05. ???? (9.5/10)
Definitely one of the best ballads in this album, although it didn’t leave deep impression on me initially. Another song which can bring tears to your eyes. Ballads are always Yanzi’s forte!

06. ?? (9.5/10)
As the title suggests, it’s a very calm song. Produced by Yanzi and nice composition by Jim Lim. Sounds best when you’re alone in a quiet night.

07. ???? (6.5/10)
From piano in the beginning to rock towards the middle of the song. It still haven’t leave much of an impression on me.

08. ????? (7/10)
Another fast-paced song, with a mystery of weird sounds in the first few seconds of the song. It’s actually a reversed version of [????]‘s rap! Catchy chorus, give me a little bit of “a-go-go” feeling. Haha…

09. ?? (5.5/10)
A little disappointed and didn’t like it initially. Guess it was the “whirlpool” effect of the background music. Too “wavy”, I guessed. I was reading the lyrics while listening to it, and the effect really made me a little giddy until I couldn’t read the words properly. Lastly, the song’s not catchy enough.

10. ????? (9/10)
Another work produced by Yanzi. One of my favaourite ballads in this album! Although it’s quite a typical type of ballad, but I really like the melody of it, especially the chorus. Another tear-evoking song…

11. ?? (6.5/10)
Jointly produced by Yanzi and Eric Ng. Don’t know why the drumbeats in the background in some parts of the song, but it’s still nice, though I’m still not very impressed with the whole song.

12. Afterward (10/10)
The ending of the album, also produced and piano played by Yanzi. I LOVE THE PIANO! Soothing and nice!

Overall, I give this album 8/10! And thumbs up to the Executive Producer of this album – Stefanie Sun Yan Zi! Hooray! Yes, I think she did a great job in this album, can see her efforts in it. Initially when I heard her compositions weren’t choosen this time round, I was quite disappointed, as in every album (not only Yanzi but other singers as well), it’s their own compositions that I always look out for. I miss her great compositions like [??], [??] and [Someone]. But that’s okay, since she has participated more in the production of this album. Yes, there’s still a Make Music logo on the credits page. ??????!!! xD
