Tubular Bells
Tuesday, July 28, 2015
This musical piece was mentioned multiple times in the first few chapters of my current read - "Losing my Virginity", an autobiography of Richard Branson. So I decided to pop by Youtube and try to understand this track that helped its record label made money many years on, even when the composer himself retreated away from the limelight.
I got to say this. I was blown away by the track:
Just a note: It has no lyrics and its 48 minutes long (there's a middle portion where there's...
LOTR - The Two Towers
Sunday, June 8, 2014
I'm a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings - although I admit that I tried (and failed terribly) at trying to read the great works of J.R.R Tolkien.
Went for the performance of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers orchestral performance by the Metropolitan Festival Orchestra, Vocal Associates Festival Chorus and Children's Choir yesterday.
It played the complete recordings of The Two Towers over 3 full hours against a big screen playing the movie with the same name. Magic. Pure...
Phantom of the Opera - Singapore
Saturday, August 10, 2013
There are beautiful amazing things in life. And there is watching Phantom of the Opera live. To me, they are kinda the same thing. It's such a classic that it's hard to find anyone who's not familiar with that signature opening piece of the famed musical. Anyhows, familiar or not, chills will definitely run down your spine the moment the orchestra starts up the first note of the Overture.
That's the magic of Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber I guess. It has been 27 years since it first opened at West End...
Les Miserables - Fight. Dream. Hope. Love.
Monday, December 31, 2012
I have not watched the musical before (in real at least) so I can't judge much, less make a good comparison. I've read about the tragic lives of those that resides in the famous work of Victor Hugo, listened endlessly to the famous tunes of their successful musical, like One Day More, I Dreamed a Dream and Do You Hear the People Sing?, but nothing quite prepared me for the awe I felt throughout the full 158 minutes of the film.
I love how the movie stayed true to the musical (Ok I watched...
Jersey Boys
Tuesday, December 18, 2012
Going to catch them tonight! Cannot wait :)
/updated post/
I love Jersey Boys. Such a talented cast.
Besides knowing it's about the rise and fall of one of the most successful rock and roll band of the 60s, The Four Seasons, I have no idea what to expect for the musical. For more details, do read this :)
With no expectations, you could say I had many pleasant surprises along the way! If you love oldies, you will definitely love Jersey Boys. If you don't like oldies, I'm...

That aside, I can't wait for Les Miserables movie! :) Will update when work isn't this hectic!

Little Things
Thursday, November 8, 2012
I never thought this day will come. But I've actually fallen in love with One Direction's latest song - Little Things.
Your hands fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile,
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
I...
Current Addiction: Secret Garden
Sunday, October 28, 2012
You know you have to watch a certain Korean drama when 2 of your male friends insist you do. To put things in perspective, they were never the kind who even had the time to catch anything remotely close to awesome shows like How I Met Your Mother or Big Bang Theory. Ok scrap that, they don't even watch TV or shows of any sorts. Hahaha.
Anyway, back to the show. Secret Garden is pretty much your usual Korean drama - dashing rich perfect male lead and your poor righteous pretty female lead....
Gangnam Style
Sunday, August 19, 2012
Never thought I will put this under Music category hahaha. I'm not sure if you have heard this song or watched this video yet. If you haven't, I recommend that you give it a go. I'm pretty sure you will be quite addicted to it.
I've watched about 20 times and it still makes me laugh!
Gangnam (south of Han River) is an affluent area in South Korea. Gangnam style kinda mean rich and have the ability to spend. Oppa means older brother in Korean, ladies also use it to address their boyfriends. Putting...
I believe in you
Sunday, June 17, 2012
If I have to name my favourite singer, it has to be Celine Dion. Talents aside, I think she has an amazing attitude towards life and definitely adversities. Yes, I have an unexplainable attraction to people with outstandingly positive attitude towards life. Hurhur.
Listening to "I believe in you" by Il Divo and Celine Dion uplifts my mood every single time. Always feel like I'm ready to conquer the world after putting it on repeat mode for hours. Haha.
" Life imposes things on you that you...
Call me maybe?
Saturday, June 16, 2012
In October 2011, Abercrombie & Fitch discovered Carly Rae's "Call me maybe" and launched the song on its official soundtrack. To celebrate the song's summer popularity, A&F asked its hottest guys from its Flagship stores all around the world to have fun with the song and film it on their phones.
Now this is the product:
Scrap that, make that call you definitely. Hahaha.&nbs...

Finally someone sings about life, and not sex. Haha
Tonight, we are young.
So let's set the world on fire,
We can burn brighter than the su...
Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled downThat you found a girl and you're married nowI heard that your dreams came trueGuess she gave you things I didn't give to youOld friend, why are you so shy?Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the lightI hate to turn up out of the blue, uninvitedBut I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight itI had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be remindedThat for me, it isn't overNever mind, I'll find someone like youI wish nothing but the best for you, tooDon't forget...
Stereo Love
Monday, July 4, 2011
Call me slow. But I've only recently heard this piece. And man I'm like totally in love with it.
Don't ask me why but it puts my mind and my entire being in a trance-like kind of peaceful state. Me loves it very much.
I've listened to it the ENTIRE day and man I was so darn productive today. Hah...
Sara Bareilles
Friday, May 13, 2011
She's so good. Like really really good. Her interaction with the crowd, her live performance, her talents. Wow.
To be very honest, before I went for her concert, I barely knew much about her. I only liked one of her songs - King of Anything. The BF is a huge fan so I figured I might as well go and see how good she is.
Man was I blown away. The concert was a sold out one in Esplanade and she is such an awesome live performer!
Awesome pieces!
If she comes back again, I'm definitely going one...
Unwritten
Wednesday, May 4, 2011
Totally on repeat mode :)
"Unwritten"
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words...
Most awesome song before the end of 2010

Just that I shouldn't be singing it out random...
