Serene Koong’s 明知我爱你 MV

this is definitely my song of the week, Serene Koong’s 明知我爱你. This while being her debut single is one of tthe best chinese songs i’ve heard in sometime - with exception to Kit’s wonderful music n the songs from December Rains (musical).

She herself has revealed that the song’s truly based on a real life experience, hers. I think the song is beautiful <3 Serene, i can’t wait for your next hit! She was also featured on ClickNetworkTV’s Playlist. Other than having such a beautiful voice, she too is super pretty ;)

In Xiaxue’s latest guide to life video, which was the ”Guide to Singing” - she was tasked with singing a song. She chose to sing Ms Koong’s single and boy, did she do a great job! I must admit that Xiaxue can really sing, and with much conviction! I was duly impressed by that guide to life, making it my favourite - other than Guide to Blogging, Camwhoring .. Guide to Xiaxue singing is HERE!

As Serene says, ” I hoped u enjoyed that.”

xoxo, Joshua

Stop! In The Name of Love/Free Your Mind

This has got to be my favourite performance from the previous episode of Glee. Personally, i felt that the girls’ rendition of BonJovi’s Living on a Prayer lacked true vocal power but we really need to cut them some slack. They were doing a number that was completely new n different to them. But truth to be told, they simply were able to transfix the guys through their rock look (dishevelled hair,leather jacket, tight leather pants n heeled boots!) But the guys definitely a better job than our dear gals. Tasked with performing songs normally sang by girls, they chose ” Stop! In the Name of Love/Free Your mind” by Dianna Ross - simply wonderful. The song featured Sam (Chord Overstreet) with a verse of his own, my favourite singer on Glee right now!

But other than that, the episode was really touching n i really managed to feel their dedication through their singing n acting with this song. Their costumes were really adorable since they all had donned tuxes with like velvet flower embroidery - bold for such heterosexual dudes, except for Kurt (Chris Colfer). The next song that im going to write about will no doubt be Glee’s ”DefyingGravity”. Among all of the songs that i’ve heard so far on Glee, DefyingGravity is still like a cult favourite to me! :) I definitely ship Sam x Kurt rather than Sam x Quinn … but haiyuh ;(

xxx, Joshua

F**k you - Celo Green (covered by LingKai)

A Singaporean singer who experiments using Youtube as her medium. She’s 24 years old with over a million hits on her videos - that sure counts towards something! I’m glad to say that I’ll be getting to meet her soon :) Yayy! She has been asked to pen & sing the OneDream theme song - and agreed. Boy, can’t wait to meet her - bet that she’s really sweet girl!!

Among all of her covers up online, this Celo number is definitely my number one favourite :) She performs at Acid Bar twice a week (tues & sat) from 7-9pm - so go catch her live! I would if i was old enough to enter bars. *disappointed* lol.

Ling Kai’s Site & Youtube :) Good luck Ling, I’ll always be your fans!

music: Make Me Wanna Die, The Pretty Reckless

Being an avid lover of Taylor Momsen’s work, i immediately became infatuated with her band when I discovered it considering her remarkable vocals n not to forget, songwriting skills. How many 17 year olds can write like her? Putting aside Lady Gaga & Justin Bieber .. Her talent is rather unique n totally targets a whole new demographic than the vast fan bases that both the mother monster n ‘baby’ faced Bieber has conquered. Make no mistake, I’m a Belieber.

I simply love how she has evolved from that sweet, innocent Jenny Humphrey from Brooklyn to Queen & trendsetter on the Upper East Side with a whole new wardrobe + sense of style. I’m a strong believer in self-experimentation, what better way is there to truly discover yourself? This gal also goes on to face John Galliano’s fragrance and Madonna’s ‘Material Girl’ line at Macy’s, one shouldn’t forget that she too was a face of ‘New Look’.

To me, she really is a style icon. I don’t know about you guys though.

OneDream @ The Chamber: LingKai’s CD Launch!

On the 9th of April, OneDream gathered its sponsors, friends & volunteers at Arts House (Old Parliament House) to unveil its latest project ~ a One Dream CD!

If I’d any loyal readers, they might remember a post i did on Ling sometime back. Just as a recap, she’s a local aspiring singer/songwriter who had been featured on Youtube’s front page before. While Ling’s self-penned songs often gain her praise from fans, the tunes are often rather melancholic in nature. Titled ‘Ling Kai’s One Dream’, it consists of 4 of her own tracks with 3 versions of ‘OneDream’, which she’d composed as the initiative’s theme song. Priced at $20, the CD will be available at all Starbucks outlets. Do note that 100% of profits (no costs will be recouped) will be going towards ‘funding a One Dream’ in its upcoming contest. The question is:

”If you & your mates had SGD 5K, what is your One Dream for Singapore & Singaporeans?“

All proposals, either in the form of a 500-word essay or 2min video clip, should be submitted here by 15th May 2011. Shortlisted finalists will be contacted after submission dates are closed. More details are available here!

Wait, i haven’t gone through the prizes yet right? If you might have guessed, the prizes won’t be one that you can claim to bring home. Instead, winners will receive a 5K cash prize & a mentor to guide them to fully implementing their One Dreams. Won’t that be interesting? I would love to participate in the contest, but then there would be a slightl conflict of interest. :/

As we all love music, this is the beautifully done & mind you, pro-bono music video of Ling’s ‘OneDream’ by the very talented team at ‘little red ants’.

I’d originally invited Sunil & Mathi for the party but cause Victor shifted his party date to the same as the event’s, only Sunil accompanied me for the launch. Which was fun … we’d the opportunity to chat with people from all walks of life!

Being very silly w Sunil before the event started. Don’t we look nice on the guest list?

A little collage with all the gorgeous ladies of the night!

I look hideous >.< So, do join the contest cause it’s a really meaningful one to enter.

till next time, xoxo

PS: If you’ve any queries or keen on volunteering your talents for OneDream, please do contact me via email, leaving a massage on this blog or dropping me a tweet. Thanks!

Funny Incident.

As some might have already guessed, im a rather unhealthy person. So, i’ve been trying to change that factor in my life with a new healthier diet n exercise regime. But i hate running … because my stamina sucks. It’s literally in the negative zone.

But yesterday i was like ‘jogging’ with Amos in the sports hall while he made up S&W sessions .. when the upper sec DM pulled me out. Told me to stop running & chatted with me. Normally im being told to run faster … LOLs. But still … he chatted with me, asking me how i’m post op/R&R. I like to read people, somehow body language comes easily to me since i’m observant. But the conversation gave me a totally new perspective about him, in a good way. Glad to see one new&nicer face in the school staff. :)

Would like to thank my form teacher for being so thoughtful and making the extra time arrangements for me too … She’s so sweet. Thx! <3

This post is really random & out of the blue but i just wanted to write something nice for once, cause i’ve been so angsty over the last few months after the initial diagnosis n stuffs. But i guess that’s life, just gotta take it in stride.

But i’ve learnt one thing that im still trying to fully grasp. Can you guess it?

”Never Say Never” & ”I was Born This Way” ~ from my two favourite artistes & inspirations of the moment, Lady Gaga & Justin Bieber. Actually, i’m about to add Selena Gomez into that list cause she’s also like awesomely talented like her bf. :)

good gawd, what have you done to yourself.

I don’t know who gave this middle Jonas the idea that he could rock this rugged look a la Zac Efron, cause it seriously isn’t working on. But the new haircut is nice, shows the sharpness of his face. :) But i do like how he managed to pair a casual denim shirt with a well-fitted suit, thumbs up to his stylist!

Madonna Madness!

The album was way below expectations for me. :( I’m a huge fan of vintage Madonna hits from way back then. Songs like ‘Holiday”, ‘Material Girl’, ‘Like a Virgin” are undoubtedly my all time favourite Madonna songs, I’m definitely not one that is all crazy about her later albums but i still give them a listen from time to time. I was attracted by the fast paced beat of the album’s first single, ‘Give me all your luvin’ but really … it wasn’r a song that an artiste that has been in the industry as long as her should have released. I felt that in a sense, it was very Kesha or Katy Perry-ish.

The music video is a completely different story. Nothing but sheer amusement bit me when I watched it. I found it extremely amusing that she was running around a field with football players when in reality, she was old enough to be their mother.

The standard of the music on this album is nothing but disappointing. :( I

XO. Joshua.
