already gone

this is the song of the year!



Already Gone by one of my fav Kelly Clarkson, but too bad the video's not the full one, it stops some place. cowritten and produced by timbaland's Ryan Tedder.

listen carefully to the background composition.
Begins with drums and a string emsemble mostly violins, which is my fav sound for any background music!
do u know that violins resembles most to a human voice? so it fits perfectly to emo songs.
kelly's voice sets in with a lot of air and echo, to make it a ghastly feel.

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye (echo echo echo)

Even with our fists held high
It never would've worked out right
We were never meant for do or die

I didn't want us to burn out (notice the falsetto change!)
I didn't come here to hold you, now I can't stop

(lotsa echo)
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

Looking at you makes it harder
But I know that you'll find another
That doesn't always make you want to cry

(electric guitar comes in!)
Started with a perfect kiss then we could feel the poison set in
Perfect couldn't keep this love alive
You know that I love you so, I love you enough to let you go

(violins comes in again!)
I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know
you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on
so I'm already gone....

(My fav part of the song, where all the background vocals comes in for the first time to blend into a heavenly chorus)
I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone...

(drums stops, violins and voices perfect combination)
Already gone, already gone, already gone...
(a crescendo from 'oo' to 'aa' vowel, the voice makes a crisp clean expression)
Already gone, already gone, already gone, yeah

Remember all the things we wanted
Now all our memories they're haunted
We were always meant to say goodbye

(video ends here but there's one more chorus)

I want you to know that it doesn't matter
Where we take this road someone's gotta go
And I want you to know you couldn't have loved me better
But I want you to move on so I'm already gone

I'm already gone, already gone
You can't make it feel right when you know that it's wrong
I'm already gone, already gone
There's no moving on so I'm already gone

incomplete

so weekends are really for emo purposes.

i can't believe i wasted the whole weekend doing NOTHING at all.
initally i planned to
1. start on my lab project,
2. then finish my already-dued tutorials
3. and my current tutorials,
4. catch up on fluids and mechanics of materials,
5. read up a bit on accounting.

and guess what, i completed none.
me - 0, the future F i'm getting - 5.

all i did was do dunno-what online and sleep and eat. ok i did some running and fat-losing exercises as well.

i wanted to start! but there's really no environment for mi to work with! stupid small table, no fan, no space and no brain. argh. i lost my sense of studying. or am i being complacent just because i got good grades from last year?

emo.. but i totally have no idea what i'm emo-ing about, so i can't really solve it. i just feel... emo. i guess it's the sort of guy's pms for me. just simply no mood to do anything. or issit something's messing with my head. or issit the start-school symdrome?

i have this calling inside me telling me to go for overseas exchange at US so that i can work there in the future. like what zhihui is doing. i guess i can restart there.

ok time to pack my bag for sch tmr. nites

e's friendship day

today, 20th august is officially my meet-and-make-friends friendship day. (didn't we had that friendship day in pri sch?)

first up i had technical communications class with new tutorial peeps and formed a new project group. made friends with 3 other coursemates.

then i met up with huiting and huiyu in school for lunch! only saw them for the second time since i came back frm tw. oh and saw mab too. well, i wished i could stay longer.

then met waiyin coz she helped mi get a 2% shirt in hk and i helped her get her 4g SD card from the school fair. and her friend chou chou.

next it's accounting seminar, we formed groups and got to know 4 other people in the class. i was the first to intro myself in the class coz the tutor told mi to, so my name was an impression to them. -.-

after school its sesame street outing with jansen, the first ever after mi and px came back! wah that's like so long la!
anyway les i'm really happy for u coz u finally got rid of the no-lifer. hahaha.
they ate KFC which is a taboo for me since i'm eating healthy for now. (except ice-cream) so in the end i went for a sandwich. then arcade, and their fav. pastime: camwhoring. ha



no i haven watch up!

1st week

i'm not being emo but the topic keep buzzing in my head like a buzzing bee. (ok bad description)

i mean at this age of 22 my character, personality are supposed to be settled down, but somebody or some people comes along and it's all rebooting over and over again until everythings so confusing. it's like reformatting computer over and over again until you forget what's s there and what's not there.

allmessedup. and now i can't really concentrate on more pressing issues until i get this settled... orr i can just ignore it? ok not.

ok first week is gone, the engine's started and it's time to get rollin'!

another fast paced semester coming right up.

man.

sometimes i just wish i stopped growing up.. or mayb keep growing up in a cycle. like frm 17 to 22, and back to 17 again, everytime a different environment.
and things wun get more and more difficult.

but this is life in uni. everything fast and efficient, time passes like nobody's business and ah ha u'r one year older. hahaha

ok i need to strike a balance.
weekdays are for studying. i can only emo on weekends coz there's no time to emo on weekdays. so school on weekdays, life on weekends. deal.

G.I.JOE

i almost forgot to blog abt it!
it's much better than transformers!

i remember watching G.I.Joe in pri school, i dun understand what it's all about but i onli like the fighting part with cobra. and cobra always runs away.

and now the LIVE ACTION MOVIE G.I.JOE!!
OMG it's the best movie this summer!

this is what i called ACTION PACKED, ALL THE WAY TO THE END!!
really left me a lil breathless. the graphics, the actions, the concept and ideas are really awesome!

the female lead was burning my eyes the moment she appears on screen. so hawt!
and poor snake-eyes did not even have a line in the movie. hahaha

this movie's gonna make channing tatum the next big thing.
i can't bliff nobody recognises him frm step up and she's the man! i remember him coz i watched step up with my cousin and she said she like the not-exactly-handsome-but-good-build kinda actor. well now all of the girls love him.

this is the kind of movie you will wanna watch in a cinema!
i hope the sequel will be good!

i wanna become a G.I.Joe when i grow up.
er.. haven't i? ok.

i wanna join the Joes next time!

first day in school

i died-ed on the first hour of school and the rest of the day i wasn't into the lecture.

the last wkend i went to Melaka (that will be in another post)
and it was a terrible jam the way back and i reached home at 1am without checking my timetable.. and after that realise i had to go school at 8.30am the next day!

i almost din wanna wake up man!

argh..........................
why does school have to start...................

and i am having very sucky timetable which includes ending school at 6.30 for 3 days and having 5hour lecture straight for 2 days.

i really missed my hall!!!

the thought of having to come back home everyday, without a proper room and bed and study table and materials and fan and quietness really SUCKS THE MAX!

i think i am the most pathetic guy in the school who doesn't have a quiet room to study and parents expect me to do well without a PROPER TABLE AND ROOM OF MY OWN!??!

HOW TO STUDY LIKE THAT?!?!

SUPER IRRITATING CAN.

i dunno how many times i must undergo this process over and over again.
pek cek.

Someday i might wanna move to the states to live.

now.

it's the time of my life again when it has became a plateau after ascending and descending several times.

Travel? Have done almost the whole of taiwan for 2 months, and planning another.

Shopping? Bought enough clothes (for the time being) and no need for more.

Technology? New handphone, no need for anymore upgrades.

Money? who wans to employ somebody who can onli work for a week!??!

Fun? requires money, refer to previous.

Lose fats? on the way, requires long time. and effort. and diet.

So this equates to staying at home and being online all the time, mayb i can concentrate on losing fats. although i have been exercising alternate days, i can't escape from the food that is pushed to my face that will equalise the calories i lost. haha.

and when i have nothing to do online, researching becomes my fav pastime. researching on what other fellow 22 year olds around the world are doing, what are their aims, what they have accomplished.
well, celebrities never miss the list to become the main researchees.

Jesse McCartney - same age as us, now already a famous song writer and singer in the states, with 3 great solo albums and ongoing acting stints. real accomplished.

Carrie Underwood - won american idol when she was 22. Superstar now with 2 great albums.

Lindsay Lohan - u know her. famous and infamous.

Shia Labeouf - acted in transformers when he's 22 and he's the next indianna jones. the star of tomorrow!

Sun Yanzi - first 2 hot-selling albums when she was 22. dun need to say anothing more about her rite.

Miley Cyrus - everyone knows her even b4 she's like 20? 16yo popular star, Cyrus was listed in Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in The World. Forbes magazine ranked her #35 on "The Celebrity 100" list with earnings over $25 million in 2008.

ok after info on them the question u ask urself is 'what are you still doing sitting in front of the computer desk?'

firstly these people are really one in a hundred million. seriously! i mean there are so many people in america, why them?! it's really one in a hundred million! they dun pick people just off the streets or what, the probablility is super low.

secondly you gotta have what it takes. Jesse's talent, Carrie's vocals, Shia's personality.. thats what makes them.. them. and if u think u can become one of them, so does the rest of the hundred million people. and u can see so many wannabes on tv.

thirdly it is not gonna happen in singapore. u know.. the usual.. conservative asia thinking.. small market.. blah blah.

while they have probably millions in their bank accounts, dun envy, just be happy with what u have coz there are probably more people having no bank accounts at this age.

while 22yos in New york are slogging their life out trying to make things work in the city, which is almost the same situation as in Taipei, here we are, still staying under the umbrella of our parents.

well, we all r different 22 year olds but in sg, all of us are almost the same. life has already been somewhat planned for us.

when's the next turning point of life?
do you create it or simply wait?
