Kris Allen’s song basically summarizes my obession with life and death. To be able to appreciate death as a requisite of life. Yes, we MUST all die someday, that’s why life is worth living. I try my best to live each day of my life to the best that I can, to enrich myself and enrich other’s. Life simply isn’t as meaningful without death. Live each day as it is your last, it may very well be, and count every new day as a blessing

The second song I came across while watching Glee – an American TV series. Sigh. Talking about a better world. Don’t we all wish for a better world? One day…

John Lennon – Imagine

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one

Kris Allen – Live Like We’re Dying

Sometimes we fall down and can’t get back up
We’re hiding behind skin that’s too tough
How come we don’t say “I love you” enough
‘Till it’s too late, it’s not too late

Our hearts are hungry for a food that won’t come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And we’re all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you
What would you wish you would’ve done?

Yeah… we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got
86,400 seconds in a day too
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying

And if your plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbye?
Should be so careful who we live out our lives
So when we long for absolution
There’ll no one on the line

Yeah… we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got
86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying

Like we’re dying, oh, like we’re dying [x2]

We only got
86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying

You never know a good thing ’til it’s gone
You never see a crash ’til it’s head on
All those people right when we’re dead wrong
You never know a good thing ’til it’s gone

Yeah… we gotta start
Looking at the hands of the time we’ve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start pickin it
Every second counts on a clock that’s tickin’
Gotta live like we’re dying

We only got
86,400 seconds in a day to
Turn it all around or to throw it all away
We gotta tell ‘em that we love ‘em
While we got the chance to say
Gotta live like we’re dying

I don’t think anyone would want to date my character in Team Fortress 2. My main class the the medic, and all TF2 characters are male.

Anyway, you younger generation have it lucky. It’s so cool to be a geek nowadays, as compared to our era. I would date a geek anytime over a hunky chunky air head, obviously my dream guy is one that has got best of both worlds!

Enjoy the video! The girl is hot

Songs from classic and popular games will be featured…

Produced and performed live by world famous video game composers Tommy Tallarico and Jack Wall, with our very own remarkable NUS Symphony Orchestra & Choir, VGL features music from the most popular video games – Pong, Mario, Sonic, Halo, Warcraft, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy and more.

Being a geeky socialite gamer, I know at least 5 different groups of people going for the concert, too bad I don’t think I’ll be sitting near them though… The tickets are a little on the expensive side too, but for a two to three hour event, it’s quite worth while

But WOW, Macross Frontier has REALLY REALLY good songs. The tunes are catchy, the lyrics fits into the story. The anime has two singers as the protaganists, hence the music actually mattered to the story.

I can’t even name my favourite songs from Macross Frontier because there are so many good ones!!!

I really like “What ’bout my star” and “Triangler” and “Aimo” and “Diamond Crevasse“… and so many moreee!!

The anime was entertaining, had beautiful characters, some love elements, mecha fighting, space travel… It’s definitely comparable to Gundam in terms of storyline, characters, music, animation.

We Are Singapore

There was a time when people said
That Singapore won’t make it, but we did
There was a time when troubles seemed too much
For us to take, but we did
We built a nation, strong and free, reaching out together
For peace and harmony

Chorus 1:
This is my country, this is my flag
This is my future, this is my life
This is my family, these are my friends
We are Singapore, Singaporeans

Singapore our homeland, it’s here that we belong
All of us united, one people marching on
We’ve come so far together, our common destiny
Singapore forever, a nation strong and free

( Repeat Chorus 1 )

( Sung )
We the citizens of Singapore
Pledge ourselves as one united people
Regardless of race, language or religion
To build a democratic society
Based on justice and equality
So as to achieve happiness
Prosperity and progress for our nation

Chorus 2:
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We will stand together, hear the lion roar
We are Singapore, we are Singapore
We’re a nation strong and free forevermore

( Repeat Chorus 1 & 2 )

We are Singapore, Singaporeans ( X 2 )

Stand Up For Singapore

Stand up for Singapore, do the best you can
Reach out for your fellow man
You’ve got to make a stand
Recognise you can play your part
Let it come right from your heart
Be prepared to give a little more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore

Stand up for Singapore, do it with a smile
If you stand up for Singapore
You’ll find it all worthwhile
Believe in yourself, you’ve got something to share
So show us all you really care
Be prepared to give a little more
Stand up, stand up for Singapore

Singapore our home and nation
Together with determination
Join in like we’ve never done before
Stand up, stand up for Singapore ( X 3 )

One People, One Nation, One Singapore
Music: Jeremy Monteiro
Lyrics: Jim Aitchison

We’ve built a nation with our hands
The toil of people from a dozen lands
Strangers when we first began, now we’re Singaporean
Let’s reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore

Chorus:
One people, one nation, one Singapore
That’s the way that we will be forevermore
Every creed and every race, has its role and has its place
One people, one nation, one Singapore

And when the time comes for the test
Our vigilance will never rest
We’ll be united, hand in hand
We’ll show the world just where we stand
And reach out for Singapore, join our hands forevermore

( Repeat Chorus x 2 )

One people, one nation, one Singapore

Singapore Town
Music & Lyrics: The Sidaislers

You could take a little trip around Singapore town
In Singapore city bus
To see Collyer Quay and Raffles Place
The Esplanade and all of us

Chorus:
Because in Singapore, Singapore
Their hearts are big and wide you’ll find
Because in Singapore, Singapore
You’ll find happiness for everyone

Let’s go down to the riverside, it’s an unforgettable sight
To see the sunrise on a faraway isle, turning darkness into light

( Repeat Chorus )

The buildings are climbing all the way to the sky
And there’s a hundred other people who are striving
For people like you and I

( Repeat Chorus )

♥

Singapura, Sunny Island

Singapura, oh, Singapura,
Sunny island sets in the sea.
Singapura, oh, Singapura,
Pretty flowers bloom for you and me.
Come along join the song in merry singing,
Blend our voices,
Join in the chorus.
Singapura, oh Singapura,
Pretty flowers bloom for you and me.

♥

Count On Me Singapore

We have a vision for tomorrow, just believe, just believe
We have a goal for Singapore, we can achieve, we can achieve
You and me, we’ll do our part, stand together, heart to heart
We’re going to show the world what Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve

There is something down the road that we can strive for
We are told no dream’s too bold that we can’t try for
There’s a spirit in the air, it’s a feeling we all share
We’re going to build a better life, for you and me
We can achieve, we can achieve

Count on me Singapore, count on me to give my best and more
You and me, we’ll do our part, stand together, heart to heart
We’re going to show the world what Singapore can be
We can achieve, we can achieve

Chorus:
Count on me Singapore, Count on me Singapore
Count on me to give my best and more, count on me Singapore

( Repeat Chorus )

Together Singapore Singapore ( X 2 )

Music & Lyrics: Dick Lee

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There’s a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where that river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone, for this is where I know it’s home

When there are troubles to go through
We’ll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home’s about its people too
So we’ll build our dreams together
Just like we’ve done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There’ll always be Singapore

( Repeat Chorus )

For this is where I know it’s home
For this is where I know I’m home

Recently, this song kept playing in the radio, finally I buey tahan asked my colleague what song is that!!! Luckily the song title and artist showed up in my internet radio media bar! <3

I’m sorry Jay, but for the next week or two, I’m going to be drooling over this song, listening to it day and night over and over again. I’ll miss you Jay, hope you miss me too.

Apparently there’s a Cantonese version, called 酷愛, which I think is the original version. I’ve got to brush up my Canto first before attempting that song… But here’s the song in Mandarin

張敬軒- 吻得太逼真 (Watch it on YouTube)

無論怎麽叫我都覺得虛僞
陪伴那麽久你說是受罪
從前到現在當我是誰
你這花心蝴蝶

昨夜陪你醉
唱到我心碎
你竟說我和你不配
完全忘記往日爲何
能與我徹夜纏綿

和你吻吻吻吻吻
吻你吻得太逼真
讓我把虛情假意
當作最真心的親吻
怪自己來不及區分
你對我是酷愛是敷衍

我想吻吻吻吻吻
我該怎麽脫身
你卻說花花世界
不必當真
多麽傷人
讓我愛上多情的紅唇

拿什麽心腸面對我的生冷
能不能想一想你讓我多傷
你的愛就像完美毒藥
對手的場地依然漂亮

不敢想曾與你渡過
多少真實的晚上
一轉眼熱戀後身受重傷

和你吻吻吻吻吻
吻你吻得太逼真
讓我把虛情假意
當作最真心的親吻
怪自己來不及區分
你對我是酷愛是敷衍

我想吻吻吻吻吻
我該怎麽脫身
你卻說花花世界
不必當真
多麽傷人
讓我愛上多情的紅唇

深淵萬丈你把我的愛
用盡後丟棄荒野埋葬
你犯的罪裝沒人知道
用什麽證明你的親吻真的殘忍

和你吻吻吻吻吻
吻你吻得太逼真
讓我把虛情假意
當作最真心的親吻
怪自己來不及區分
你對我是酷愛是敷衍

我想吻吻吻吻吻
我該怎麽脫身
你卻說花花世界
不必當真
多麽傷人
讓我愛上多情的紅唇
