So gorgeous. Unlike my current big ugly and bulky one.
I WANT TO CHANGE!
it takes photographs.
answers calls, can call out, can receive sms, can sms.
and i can listen to radio and/or music.
and it's THIN.
good enough for me.
and i insist on getting the black one because the marketing folks probably came out something for everybody and the black goes to the men while the ladies get the red.
And i hope to do my part to educate JUSTIN (my son, in future, if i do give birth to one) about the existence of patriarchy and how it is misogynistic and its myopic view on women, had such a huge impact on what has happened and what is happening - in particular what it does to women.
So that my son, JUSTIN, does not belong to one of those moronic ad fucks and fashion assholes, who only strives to drive patriarchy to a new level in an (un)conscious attempt to demean and devalue womanhood and promoting violence towards them.
take a look at this.
i've seen this ad run in singapore before, haven't you?
of course, nobody (in sillypore) gives a fuck.
and i actually believed the ad & fashion morons thought that was an ingenius piece of art.
I might have the chance to catch the pumpkins after all.
because they are touring!
OMG!
why do i get so excited? for sure i know they're not coming to singapore.
:-(
They broke up in 2000.
And i was so gutted that i made my dream one that would see me through all of my heroes' concerts.
Smashing Pumpkins was a godsend.
I wouldnt have got past Sea Sea's death without them.
i know it sounds silly but music has healing abilities.
i saw through it (the songs) and tell myself it's not the end.
because the beginning is the end is the beginning.
:-)
PS: james iha has confirmed that he won't be part of this reunion. :-( d'arcy the original bassist before being replaced by melissa auf de mur, has not confirmed yet. so it's only billy & jimmy for the mo.
but that doesnt mean good-looking men goes unappreciated.
haha~
and u know the gossip celebrity site perezhilton.com?
they say he's gay.
NO.
and wentworth miller said this once:
"I once gave someone who was going cross-country a clock. I set the time to where I was, so that when I called we would look at the clock and always be together at the exact same time."
This is the LIVE version of TIME IS RUNNING OUT by MUSE.
Glastonbury is a dream mate. i dunno when i will ever be able to make it.
I've already missed out on all the good Glastonbury shows.
Someone i met last year at Coldplay's Melbourne concert said he's been to Glastonbury "a couple of times" and he first saw Coldplay there when they werent as big. Just the beginning of the "A rush of blood to the head" fame. and they rocked the little side gig with POLITIK & Wowed everyone.
ANYWAY....
I am here to make a point, again. :-)
The next video is the original song.
Now why am i showing you this?
Jo Jo, my friend, if you're reading this, i'm just ranting my views. everyone's entitlement. :-)
Jo Jo said to me that NGAK does a better rendition of this song.
Well, this is not the first time i heard someone say NGAK did a better version of the song.
Wilson said NGAK does GIVE IT AWAY better than RHCP.
I can understand why they said that cos i'm such a huge NGAK fan and to be honest, i've thought that way a couple of times.
i think ngak does a very good cover of GIVE IT AWAY.
But i certainly do not think his version is better than RHCP.
it is the aura. it is the stage presence. it is the connection.
after my rhcp experience, i'm like, there is no way ngak can be better than him (anthony kiedis). maybe vocally, cos ngak is younger and AK is like 40plus but that aura, that charisma is something that AK has inherently that is beyond any imitation.
People who does covers can only do so much as singing as close to the original of which ngak did to a perfect T and still injecting his own style which is very much commendable and makes him one of the best live performers in singapore.
but that song, it belonged to rhcp and i cannot illustrate enough, that covers will always be covers.
similarly for time is running out. i know ngak did a fantastic version cos it is a difficult song and if im not wrong, it is in a minor tune? Musicians can feel free to correct me. Minors, are so difficult to sing.
the original version probably wasnt mindblowing after hearing ngak's version first. but you have to compare live versions with live versions. MUSE blew it away.
look at that energy. look at that crescendo when he sang the chorus....
i'm a huge fan of ngak and i am not a blind teenage girl who thinks he's god.
because he's not.
i am very critical of live performances because i have such high expectations.
and i think ngak & his band timmy is one of the best in singapore.
absolutely better than EIC whom i dont give much of a damn.
so ngak's not perfect. i hate it when he does FIX YOU. He just doesnt own it. There is no connection AT ALL.
FIX YOU is a very meaningful song and i have come to realise because alot of you came up to me and say, u know, i really like FIX YOU.
because it can mean different thing to different people. ngak's version sucks.
a couple of the coldplay songs - not too good either. I've heard him sang THE SCIENTIST a couple of years back but it wasnt mind blowing either.
what i'm trying to say is we can give credit to people who does fantastic covers but we can't take that special honour away from the original singer.
my impression of John Mayer after i've seen him live in Melbourne is that he's a thinking musician.
he doesnt give a hoot about what he wears.
or how he looks.
he's got this mane of curly locks.
and every song he writes, has a story.
WHY THIS?!!!!
apparently he defended her honour at some award show when the media questioned about his apparent love relationship with Jessica "bimbotic bitch" Simpson.
He replied them in JAPANESE can.
and the translation is saying how beautiful jessica is and how the world and the rest of us will not see.
VERY TOUCHING AND VERY SWEET JOHN.
but JESSICA?
you've lost it.
i know she got big boobs lah!
ALL MEN AND THEIR OBSESSION WITH THE BOOBS.
men i'm in love with have abhorring and the most disgusting taste in women.
talented and cute.
it is therefore beyond my comprehension why on earth he fell in love with the trashbag below.
seriously.
the old shoes of nick lachey?
my fucking god.
i adore john and whatever but this is just not acceptable.
Absolute TRASH. i repeat. TRASH. GARBAGE. RUBBISH.
