whew i manged to logged in for the first time without asking yi long for the user id. hahaha.
seems rather dead here, except some one changed the song, plus unkown author previous entry.
i realised my blog last post was abt moving to a new blog, yes it happen, but the new blog only lasted 1 post. haha. maybe someday i get back to blogging seriously, for now i'm juzt happy to contribute random stuff for random visitors during random times at 1805 blog.
it's amazing how serving the nation makes you cherish every second that you are not in uniform. thus times when i feel like blogging didnt happened because it was ranked rather low in my to do list.
Random topic for this random post: Music
i cannot remember exactly when i first fell in love with music. however, i can still recall the first few artistes that i like was Britney Spears! *gasp* thinking back i am sure i like her looks rather then her music. haha i can remember because i got 1 of her dvd in my collections!
there was also jay chou and his ba du kong jian album which made me like jay chou. it could also be due to my whole cca during secondary school was also crazy about him. haha
as one's grow older, one's taste for music grows more sosphisticated. let me introduce the world greatest band in my opinion-U2. i could remember exactly how i fell in love with U2. On 03 Dec 06, after finishing my volunteer work at padang and collecting my $20 token of appreciation, i walk over to raffles city shopping centre, and step into one of the cd shops. it just happpened that they were playing music from U2 18 Singles cd, i cant remember what song they played but i was so attracted to them i just bought their cd in the spur of the moment. it was probably the best decision i made so far in my life. U2 has so many greats hits, such as Angel of Harlem, One, Walk On, Sunday Bloody Sunday and Windows in the Skies.
U2-One:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnXQS6oetQkfor me i feel that there are others great bands out there, i'm sure shui yong will be more then happy to intro u, but what U2 has achieved over the past 20 years is no mean feat.
i cant wait for my dvd U2: Elevation 2001 Live from Boston to arrive. it was sent out today and hopefully i can get it before christmas. i'm not a person who will go to concerts, but if U2 ever perform in Singapore, i promise myself that i will be there.
whao such a long post i also not much energy to carry on already. briefly explain my jap and chi fav.
F.I.R! From their first album which made the Cpop community noticed them, to their current Love Diva album, they are simply the best chinese band! Although i wish their second album could be better, it was average. BUT their Flight Tribe and Love Diva album were simply FANTASTIC!
F.I.R-Need Your Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm58yDGDReUZONE! The greatest 4 girls japanese band disbanded on 010405. got to know them by chance during secondary school and fell in love with them ever since. lovely girls, great music. to me they are as good as 4 ayumi hamasaki singing together. they had their final concert on 010405, bidding farewell to their fans. i also wonder why such great talents never got their deserved breakthrough. i searched the whole of hmv and i cant find their cds or dvds. super unknown in singapore, i had to resort to yesasia.com to ship me their final live dvd. their first and last concert on april fools day. the estimated arrival is around 16 jan, still have to wait long long for it and it the most ex piece of disc i ever paid for in my life, plus i dont understand jap! haha but great music transcends all language. my fav zone member has to be mizuho the little drummer girl! she is just so cool n cute when she plays the drum!
The last song that Zone performed on 010405-Secret Base ~kimi ga kureta mono~

ZONE-Taiyou no Kiss
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJ8peL5OKz0 (Note: This is a super upbeat happy song which i will always watch after watching the previous one, cheer me up a lot)
*Random closing paragraph* i really need to properly sort out my music collection. itunes is giving me a major headache. i have no idea where to start from, especially the tagging of songs where a lot of songs are messed up(due to last time anyhow download).
Thanks for reading! (Whao u actually managed to reach here, impressive! *claps*)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year people!
