插班生-《人生實驗課》

Bought the album! It would be the fourth album I own and the second album I bought. The first being Rui En's. It takes really really long for me to actually purchase an album because they're so dang expensive. I can eat like, at least five bowls of bak chor mee at the price of one album of 10 songs. But this time round I've chosen to pamper my ears instead of my stomach.

And I say, it's worth it.

Got to know of the album from Diya's tweets. And YES93.3. Because I hear at least once of their song everyday (especially 人生實驗課）and I honestly think YES93.3 is in love with their songs too. And I got so happy because TheFreshmanager uploaded the songs on YouTube. And that was a chance for me to actually listen to every single song in the album and decide whether to buy it. (And I did.) And I had been looping 回憶，這東西 while Facebook-ing and Twitter-ing. And also while I had been emo-ing...

It didn't have blown up faces of Diya or Carrie looking all cool and pretty and photoshopped, only the both of them with some random objects like shades and socks, and looking all fun-loving.

It didn't look like the most expensive or the best-packaged with some limited edition postcards or some metal box, only a thin, square-looking package.

But I definitely fell in love with whole retro/oldschool/child-like thing going on in the album.

(I'm so terribly sorry for the bad lighting. Urgh)

The disk which looks like a page from an exercise book and the lyrics booklet which looks like an exercise book itself.

And not to forget the pages from the 'exercise book'.

With cute doodles like this. *inserts a million hearts here*

Okay now for the songs.

I can't actually name which songs I like the best 'cos I like so many of them. But oh well, I really like 太透明 and 逞強 and the one which I've been looping, 回憶，這東西. And they're all emo songs. *goes in emo mood again.*

太透明 is the 'emo-to-the-max' song with the lyrics about rain and shattered hearts (託付給你我的心 結果碎成五裂四分的心). But because I've never been in a relationship so I probably can't feel so much of that emo-ness la. But it's a really nice song too.

As for 逞強, one look at the title already tells you it's emo. I like the lyrics. (我怕站在你身旁 冷靜得像堵牆 把淚水都抵擋 遮住自己傷口的真相)

And I like 回憶，這東西 because it's about memories. Something which people run away from, something which is of the past. Something very cheem. Favourite line: (把回憶塞進了腦袋的黑洞裡 陰暗的角落裡 重複這回憶).

But I like Polaroid too! A non-emo song that I like. YAY! I like the song Polaroid and the real life polaroid. Heh heh.

Why I bought this album:

As an album obviously it's the songs that matter the most. And to me, these are the songs that I'd listen to while travelling. The casual travelling type of songs that I'd listen on the bus alone. Or perhaps on the way to my grandma's house in Msia. I'm not one who goes for heavy metal so yea.

Hmm. I like old stuff.

:)

The Foolscap Doodles

Rain.

It's pathetically more than a month since someone actually tagged on my blog. And I only have myself to blame because I didn't update for so long.

Listening to 插班生 - 回憶，這東西 (link) on Youtube now. A really really nice emo song that is perfect for my emo mood. Or maybe for my emo mood a few days ago. Since I'm not that emo right now.

The Foolscap Doodles.

Something I do during boring English lessons or Maths.

Something that perhaps depict my mood at that certain point of time.

Something that's me. Part of me.

Well, if you're able to understand the doodles that is.

Some are pretty direct though. The above doodle was originally drawn without the facial features (a.k.a the eyes and mouth). Because I don't like to draw them. (Serious.) But I guess it looks nice with eyes and mouth too. Just a little.. sad.

I mean well of course I don't have hair that short, a head that big and I have fingers. And I don't stand under a single piece of dark cloud with a leaf in hand.

If only...... someone could understand.

Chances

My entries are getting repetitive.

But still, something is better than nothing. (Argh to the dead blog/dead tagboard/low stats)

So here's a sort-of continuation of my previous previous previous.... entry entitled Of Dreams, Passion, Talent, and Opportunities.

Yea. Chances.

I do believe that chances are given but you definitely have to work for it and seize it first. It's of no use having a whole truckload of 'potential' or 'talent' if you don't seize the chances. I've come to accept the fact nobody will know that you're talented unless you show it. Applicable to almost everything you do. Seriously.

Let's say you can sing really well but you only dare to sing in your bathroom. Pointless. Because nobody will ever know that you can sing and therefore nobody would ask you to sing for a performance or something.

Seriously, secret talents suck. Who'll give you chances to realise your potential when your talents are all secrets?

So... why not just, show it? Tell everyone? And get all BHB about it?
