Recent

Nothing much to say...

But recently, I've been abit more moody. Maybe is the lack of sleep and bad health.

Alot to do, but so lethargic and lack motivation.

Till I've more time, shall end here.

YOGA!!!

Today, I am gonna 重点介绍 one of my recent 新欢. Yea yea, I know I am very very slow to only notice about him now, but 迟到好过没到,现在知道好过永远不知道. And I believe there are still "busy" people "like me", who are too involved in our work that we didnt follow entertainment news. So, anyway, here is it...

Let's welcome..... 林宥嘉 (Lin2 You4 Jia1, aka Yoga)

He is the champion from Season 1 of 超级星光大道, a Taiwanese singing competition. Unlike, American Idol or Project Superstar, the results are 100% based on judges, not public voting. Season 1 took place from beginning of 2007 till July2007. (Yea, so it was a long time ago le. But I realised I should be trapped in pulau bukit ulu ntu, battling with unit ops and CRE and heat & mass transfer during that period of time. So it was totally, completely, absolutely understable why I was not paying any attention to the program. Plus I don't find anything attractive from it.)

I only noticed of this person when I was listening to 933 龙虎榜 few weeks back, a song called "背影" caught my attention. (I am emphasizing this to show that his singing is good, not because of look or any other thing.) After searching for the song, and listening to more songs from this singer... Argh!!! 惊为天人... I like his voice! Sooooo 好听! By the way, he only has 3 of his own songs by now, 1 "那首歌", 2 "背影", and 3 "传说" (Duet with 刘力扬). First album is scheduled to be release this coming May.

Aside: Although he is the champion, but the person who received more attention was another guy called 杨宗纬. Look it up yourself if you are interested.

I watched more of his competition videos, and here are some of them.

His first song, "那首歌"

The song he sang during the final of 超级星光大道, "Creep" by Radiohead. So special song to sing during competition.

The song that got him attention. "走钢索的人" by 李泉. One small side note, although I only heard very very few songs by Li Quan, but I kind of like him, his songs are very special. He wrote a song called "人生长路" for Andy Lau loooong time ago. It is really nice.

Another song that got him 25/25 full mark. And the song became very popular after that. "你是我的眼" by 萧煌奇.

Recess & Movies

Had a busy recess, rushing assignments and reports. Put aside the yucky workloads, lazy me had still slacked enough to watch a few movie DVDs, Youtube, etc... So, instead of describing my horrible struggle with assignments, I shall say abit on the stuff I had watched.

美味关系 (Sweet Relationship)
A Taiwan Drama Series directed by 瞿友宁, cast 周渝民,侯佩岑,柯有纶,赖雅妍. Trust me, this is not the "normal" 偶像剧. Because it is very not 偶像. Both the setting and the plot is very everyday, the pace is abit slower than action packed series, (cant expect everyday life to be so action packed right), the people are not rich, they don't wear nice clothes and drive expensive car. I finally finished watching this series, during the break. FYI, it has just finished telecasting in Taiwan about a month ago. 20 episodes in all, If you have the luxury of bout 30hours to spare, and the mood to watch, go watch this. Is a less publicized series, but it is very nice.

长江七号 (CJ7)
This movie need no more introduction. One of the three 贺岁片 this CNY. It was rated as the best among the three, and best selling among the three. Although some said CJ7 is not as funny as Stephen Chou's previous movies, but after watching, I can say some parts are pretty funny. And the alien dog is real cute. 周星驰 also said that this movie is to make audience cry, he purposely had some touching scenes. Hmm.. yea, I was quite touched. But then, right after the touching part, the movie ended a little abruptly. Was expecting something more... But... it ended. Imperfection exist.

功夫灌篮 (Gong Fu Dunk)
The other of the three 贺岁片. Not bad a movie for 朱延平. I am not a big fan of Jay Chou, but I realise he is good at acting those-nerd-nerd-character. Very funny. Basically the movie is all about him, Jay and Jay and more Jay. Maybe the director think that getting to film Jay is such a great honour and rare chance, must make FULL use of it. But then again, if you wanna put it in a nice way, you can say the movie is very Focus (Hahaha! All about 自言其说). The only abit redundant part I think, is towards the end, where the four 师傅 come out and fight... I was abit "Har" when I saw that. It was a good fighting scene, but don't seem to fit the story. But overall, it is nice. Won't waste your precious 2hours if you watch it.
色.戒 (Lust. Caution)
This was sometime ago le. But only had the chance to watch it now. Hmm... I think... the movie is abit over publicized. It is a good movie I don't deny, but it received far more appraisal than what it should be getting. I think is because of the director (Hey... people is BIG director lo!!! Got Oscar leh!) and the few scenes by Tony Leung (Hey... people is 大明星 lo!!! Got many awards leh! And 为艺术大牺牲 lo!!!). Yea, and so... that's how you get the HUGH 色.戒 phenomenon. But then, again... it is good. (Side track abit, someone said it is 不好看 & very bored... Hmm... I guess is because that person don't fully understand the context, maybe is the language barrier.)
