Let There Be Love

I'm celebrating my 23rd birthday in 2 days time.

Well - not that there will be any big celebrations though - its like i turn bloody 23 leh - not 18. Or 21. So nothing to really celebrate about.

I think i've grown to an age where birthdays are like festive seasons? It's a chance and a good excuse to round up your best mates and have a good gathering. Beer and food sounds good. It's not really about 'celebrating your birthday' - it's just the 'name' - it's about being together with your friends and just have a really good time.

A really good time means - nothing bad can happen - cos its your birthday and God will excuse you for today.

PLEASE DO NOT EVER THINK IM REMOTELY A CHRISTIAN OR CATHOLIC OR WHATEVER JUST BECAUSE I USE GOD.

Arent those people capitalistic enough to 'chop' the use of the letters G, O, D for their own exclusive use?

Im a proud Buddhist.

I dont like those people as much as i dont like Indians.

BUT - i've got many many many (i dunno why though) frens who are christian and catholic and i've absolutely no problems with them becos i live by my precious Aristotle's saying "It's the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it".

I got indian friends too - i think only one - jayen is not counted cos he's half indian and he's not my fren. He's my boss leh~~

I make extreme comments like this because i use my brains alot and i have very strong opinions on alot of things and of cos, i got the courage to make such extreme comments at the risk of people slamming me, judging me and putting me in a bad light.

Someone once told me before :
"When you stand up for something, chances are there will be who will agree with you and there will be people who disagrees with you.

You can keep quiet so that nobody disagrees with you but nobody will agree with you either."

Therefore - there will always be people who loves you and people who simply hates and dislikes you.

I am so in reconciliation with that - so i dont really care if people like me or not. Therefore i dont try too hard like alot of people out there. Therefore i make extreme comments that come straight out from my head.

I know fuckin alot of people like me lor. Haha~

And i dont really have brain space left to think about the people who dont.

Things aside - my birthday is coming - so is my stupid mid sem. And this particular course is jinxed cos the final exam is on the last day of the exams. How great! And the day before is my Brisbane Coldplay concert.

Haiz - see i told you good karma doesnt always happen.

Also i wanna introduce Artist of This Moment - Oasis.


















They are the reason why i love aviators.



I am so in love with this song.

Let There Be Love - Oasis

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

Come on Baby Blue
Shake up your tired eyes
The world is waiting for you
May all your dreaming fill the empty sky
But if it makes you happy
Keep on clapping
Just remember Ill be by your side
And if you dont let go its gonna pass you by

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love
Let there be love

----------------------------------------

Chua Joon Yuan: What you mean by there's a hole in the sky? And the heavens cry ah?
Me: Means the heaven crying lah - raining lah!
Chua Joon Yuan: Raining not caused by a hole in the sky one leh. And who can kick a hole in the sky?



I wish i have a musician boyfriend. Not a stupid engineer boyfriend.

Artist of the MOMENT

To hell with Artist of the MONTH.

Why should i wait for 30 days in order to post about a band that i really adore?

I am going to change that into ARTIST OF THE MOMENT.

Alot of things can happen in 30 days.

People change in 30 days.

People die in 30 days.

People leave their loved ones in 30 days.

People's perspective can change in 30 days.

People's love can change in 30 mins - not to mention 30 days.

People realised the cruel truth in 30 days.

People fall in love in 30 seconds - not to mention 30 days.

People become disillusioned in 30 days.

People commit crimes in 30 days.

People lose everything they ever have in their life in 30 days.

People become fuckingly filthy rich in 30 days.

People lose hope in 30 days.

People become fat in 30 days.

People made enemies in 30 days.

People pisses me off in 30 mins - imagine the no. of people who pisses me off in 30 days?

People dream every day - imagine the number of dreams dreamt in 30 days.

Why wait?

LIVE FOR THE MOMENT.

In case i die tomorrow, i will die in peace knowing that i have helped spread fantastic music.



HAHA~~~ like real rite?

Who gives a damn what i think rite?

For this moment - im going to feature Snow Patrol. A new band that i've come to like cos the lead singer's got a refreshingly clear yet full voice that may not as sound achingly painful as Chris Martin but it did pull a few strings from my knotty heart.



















I love musicians - they just look so different.



Loser CHUA JOON YUAN introduced Snow Patrol's RUN to me and i fell in love with it. It is such a wrenching song.

But i am going to feature the other song that i have also come to love for this MOMENT -

Snow Patrol - How to be dead

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Till I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way

Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me sometime
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
Coz both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God

Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking the and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride

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

Their lyrics are not as well-written in the sense that it is not as poetic and emblematic as alot of my OU XIANG (idol) - like Oasis, Coldplay and Wu Bai. Their lyrics are not even as good as Evermore's.

They're still writing what i call, NORMAL lyrics. Not poetic and emblematic. But not crappy lah - like those R&B stuff. *cough* golddigger *cough*

~~~

Till the next time i have my 'moment'.

Tata!

Karma

I believe in Karma.

I believe bad people who does evil things will get bad karma.

I, however on the other hand, doesnt believe TOO strongly in good karma cos good people dont neccessarily have good karma.

And Karma in its most potent forms, falls upon the loved ones of the karma-doer.

I scared i got bad karma - so i always avoid doing bad and evil things.

So for every Indian i insult, i am super nice to a dog.

:-)

SO ME

I think this is so me.

I really should get a poster of it & stick it on my room door.

Fuji Rock Festival follow up

I just checked the line up for the Fuji Rock Festival.

SNOW PATROL is going!!!
So is Jet.

Hmm...now i am wishing..and hoping.. OASIS goes there too.

Then i will slog my ass off to make sure i'll be there.


~~
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

The Shadow Proves The Sunshine

The Shadow Proves The Sunshine - Switchfoot

Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are..
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
When the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little run aways
Hold fast till the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

O Lord, why did you forsake me?
O Lord, dont be far away (away)
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please Lord, Don't look the other way

I am..
A crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
When the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little run aways
Hold fast till the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, Yeah!
Shine on me

Yeah, Yeah!
Shine on me

Yeah, Yeah!
Shine on me

Yeah, Yeah!
Shine on me

(Oh!)

We are..
Crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
When the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little run aways
Hold fast till the break of daylight where
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, Yeah (the shadow proves the sunshine)
Shine on me (the shadow proves the sunshine)

Yeah, Yeah (the shadow proves the sunshine)
Shine on me (the shadow proves the sunshine)

Yeah, Yeah (the shadow proves the sunshine)
Shine on me (the shadow proves the sunshine)

Shine on me (the shadow proves the sunshine)
Let my shadow prove the sunshine

(The Shadow Proves the Sunshine)

I know i said i was going to do the "Artist of the Month" thingy - which i have failed to do for the past couple of months.

Well i started out with the intention to spread and promote fantastic music through this kbkb channel of mine whose readership is not high. But i do whatever little i can to let fantastic music to be heard. :)

Therefore - i might not promise to do it every month religiously but i will do it as often as i think a good song needs to be heard. I am still doing it with the same intention just not as frequent - but that does not undermine the efforts, does it? :)

I am in love with this song for so long because it is so meaningful.

When i first heard of the song and its title - i thought how amazingly apt it is.

We see our shadows so often that we easily forget sunshine is behind us.

This song serves as a reminder for me to not forget that sunshine is just round the corner when i see too much of my shadow, or somebody else's shadow. HAHA~

TATA!

Fuji Rock Festival

I WANNA GO.

I WANNA GO.

I REALLY WANNA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuji Rock Festival Line Up

Just look at the line up - actually it's not super impressive lah - alot of those bands i dont really know - maybe Japanese bands.

Franz Ferdinand is going to be there - im sure it'll be better than the other time when i caught them at the Indoor Stadium. Singapore's Stupid Indoor Stadium is a JOKE.

Jason Mraz is going to be there. How cool is that compared to the one i missed at The Esplanade?

A surprising band i saw is Wolfmother - they are an Aussie band - and i think the Fuji Rock Festival gig will make ther CV look impressive. The Hives are gonna be there too - although im not a fan - i wouldnt mind really. :)

And MY GOD - Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I still get upset everytime i think about it - i missed the concert when RHCP performed in Singapore in 2002. I was in Newcastle for my exchange programme. I almost cancelled it - and the reason i didnt is because i thought i can catch RHCP in Sydney (which is about 2hrs drive away). Well i thought i can catch them in Sydney because i DID NOT manage to because of a stupidly narrow-minded, petty, mean and FUCKING DISGUSTING gay lecturer GEORGE TEO didnt allow me and threatened to fail my course if i go.

*just for the record - i am the most un-homophobic person in the world. George Teo doesnt do justice to alot of gays in this world with the things he does.

Well - being able to make it to this ROCK FESTIVAL will definitely make up for everything - every unhappy things that happened in my childhood, teenagehood and adulthood.

I REALLY REALLY WANNA GO.

i can go there after i graduate.

it's on 30 July - if i can make it - then i wont stay in OZ LAND for too long.

I REALLY WANNA GO.

Three day tickets cost less than 500AUD - thats reasonable i think.


~God Put a Smile Upon My Face

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to Chua Joon Yuan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You turn 27 this year - and you're reaching 30 soon.

You better be nicer to sea sea or else you wont see me in heaven too.
