I'm so disillusioned and disappointed with the practice of preordering albums in Singapore. It happened in the case of Jay Chou's and now Stefanie's. Taking a random walk around music stores, I discovered to my disgust that Ni Guang is selling at the same preorder price with the supposedly exclusive preorder gift. What, I wonder, is the point of preordering in the first place then except to make oneself more excited towards the date of release? The advertisement is so misleading and it's such a cheap tactic to include the postcards that were manufactured in surplus together with the already released album to clear stock. I feel so cheated for the second time.

掏钱买的第一张2007年发行的专辑
而且在两个星期前已预购和期待了
今天终于登上了唱片行的架子
实在按捺不住心里不由自主浮起的兴奋和紧张.
当<逆光>在 Yes933 首播后
略觉首波主打不够吸引人
为燕姿捏了一把冷汗
因为接下来第二波才是专辑的灵魂
<我怀念的> 把燕姿独特的音质找回来了!
整张专辑听了好几遍
可以感受制作人的用心
抑扬顿挫是有的.
但是可能对专辑抱着太高的期望
所以仍有一点儿的失望.
快歌方面<叽咕叽咕>和<爱情的花样>虽然好听
但稍微普通了些.
抒情歌曲终究是她的拿手好戏
<安宁>, <漩涡> 让我留下深刻映像.
别再谈她在埃及发生的事件, 把焦点放在她要给大家的音乐吧!
推荐歌曲: <我怀念的>, <安宁>, <漩涡>
On a side note, JP's MJ couldn't deliver the album on time but fortunately, CD Rama did. I guess everyone realises the significance of 5 cents now, huh?

从没质疑过阿沁的歌唱实力
在他和 Faye 合唱的<天天夜夜>里亮声之后
他那把清脆的声音就让我挺欣赏的.
果然, 在独立发行个人首张专辑的情况下
带给我们的是惊喜和柔情.
从头到尾按序地听完整张专辑
只能说前头好曲连连,
后劲些许不足,
摇滚, Rap 的歌曲稍嫌普通, 没能引起太大的共鸣,
尤其结尾重新诠释<遗失的美好>,
本想唱出另一种味道, 但觉得有点弄巧反拙,
缺为专辑画下一个完美的句点.
但也吾武断地下定论,
我喜爱的曲风本偏离摇滚靠近抒情,
难免先入为主.
特爱片中和"小胖"友情合唱的必 K 对唱歌曲<记得爱>
旋律清晰, 李玖哲沙沙的声线又与阿沁的形成对比
相铺相成.
<其实还爱你>抒发了阿沁的情感,
<我不懂>则充分地表现了他的真虚音兑换技巧.
主打也容易引起听众的注意.
一张颇佳的大碟,
如有改版, 不妨考虑购买.
推荐曲目: <梵谷的左耳>, <其实还爱你>, <记得爱>, <我不懂>

我的肩膀没有力量
撑起你建筑的美丽假象
真实在前方不是转身就能忘
你梦幻的国度我不会是国王
就让自己再成长
爱的感觉都随风释放
我们的旅行都还没到达
提起名叫现实的行囊
你有你的黑色翅膀
无法飞翔在我的天堂
精灵们冷冷目光
让我们坠落在彼此的脚下
收不起你的黑色翅膀
只能在黑暗的馀光游汤
聚集再多光芒
也只是披著天使外衣的狼
炫耀你黑色的翅膀
卸下你深白色的武装
振翅吧黑色的翅膀
寻找可以依靠的恶魔啊
一首有感染力的歌曲
世界的残酷
人心的险恶
难道单纯和坦白已经荡然无存了？
不，我还是抱着希望的。
简单的钢琴配乐隐约表达了悔意与包容。
世界是有度量的。

我讨厌前些日子的自己。
现在的我应该已经摆脱了先前阴霾糟透的心情，活得更洒脱了吧！
可能是要求过高，
悲观的想法和消极的态度慢慢形成。
彷徨，
因为年轻的我脑海里竟在挣扎着什么才会真正带来快乐，
生命的意义又是什么?
害怕,
因为担心自己不能达到目标,
一而再, 再而三地为自己找借口.
反正往事不堪回首.
好不容易下定决心逃出那恐怖的漩涡,
重新整理心情,
找到人生的寄托,
虽然偶尔还是会不自觉地跌入旧境,
但很快地会提醒自己要活得高兴,
享受人生, 别留下遗憾.
我想我已经看开了许多.
虽然 tS 明天将会遗弃我登上心仪的工作岗位, 我也保持一颗平常心对待, 祝福他! =)

My parents' nerves have been frayed ceaselessly of late, much due to the spate of varied crimes committed all under the roof of my flat, which till now still features a low occupancy rate and weak sense of neighbourliness. Vandalism, burglary and molesting - one wouldn't expect to see all three offences occurring at approximately the same time, yet it did, and quite effortlessly.
First it was a burglary on the 8th floor, which happened apparently after a suspicious Bangladeshi casted his watchful eyes into the interiors when he was enquiring about RC's repainting works. That brought us to the inevitable conclusion that he was masquerading as a worker from the contractor company. The unit was subsequently ransacked and the burglars whisked away all jewellery and valuables. This wasn't much of a concern yet because of the installation of an alarm system in my house, that boasts an automatic transmission of help signals to an operator when activated.
But a narrow encounter with a molester by the daughter of my neighbour completely threw my parents off balance. They regained their cool and came up with defensive actions like fetching my sister up from the void deck and instructing her to be alert at all times soon after. Well, and vandalism has always been a common sight in my neighbourhood, so that's nothing special. Doorbells have been smashed to smithereens and metal gates corroded on floors where there are no inhabitants as of yet.
And was it rampant crime that spurred a change in the colour of the corridors lights from amber to white? I hope so, and certainly invite more such measures to keep the bad guys at bay.

晨运，使我在心无旁骛的状态下思考人生。
今早的跑步，在感慨的心情中结束了。
孔子说过类似这样的话，如果你热爱你的工作，你根本一天都没劳碌过。
如果他还在世，可能难出此言。
在这金钱挂帅的残酷现实生活中，名利和财富已经变成衡量一个人的指标。
而有多少人真正在自己的事业上找到热忱？又有多少人是真正从事他们喜欢的行业？
我想，许多人都是在埋怨和愤怒下完毕一天的差事，最后能博他们一笑的仅仅是银行账簿上的一些数字罢了。
这真是一种可悲的人生，奔波了大半辈子，换来的只是操劳的身躯，和生不带来，死不带去的财富。
真正的快乐却一直居于千里之外，难以琢磨。
我越来越能体会这种感受了。
在一家不讨好的公司上班了四个月，每个月都必须重复地按照会计的程式做同样的工作。
员工流动率又高，人手不足的情况下使那小空间根本连一丝快乐的痕迹都没有。
我都快窒息了。
要不是有音乐的陪伴和自娱的安慰，我想我早撑不住了。
白领上班族的确与我不能共存。
但又能怎样？大家都看在钱的份上。
唯一能做的，就是往好的方面去想，咬紧牙关挨多几个月，然后当回那无忧无虑的学生。。。
我多么渴望孔子的那一套说法能应验在我身上，但从目前的情况看来，那是难求的理想境界。
将来嘛？那就难说了，预料不到的未来。。。

Singaporeans were at it again. Trailing long queues outside purportedly "wang" Singapore Pools betting centres saw occurrences of the weaker ones suffering from dizzy spells and discomfort, yet these had not deterred billions of citizens from getting their hands on lottery tickets to try their luck at the coveted 10 million TOTO hongbao draw yesterday. And consecutive numbers appeared once again to be the trend - winning numbers were 5, 6, 16, 17, 28, 35 and 14.
Alas, with that shattered my hopes and translated a puny $1 into the revenue of the government. Haha.
