yes yes yes! Going to play tennis later, as long as it doesn't rain later >.<...again...touchwood!

But nothing beats getting Broken by Lifehouse (radio version)... 

By the way, this week's "Alvin's track of the week"...see it tmr! xD :P

15:09

Take Tuesday for example. I went to help out! You know, CIP- type, but this is much better than those litter-picking CIPs that only does better in making you get annoyed with CIPs. -.- In this one, you can bring kids around to places in S'pore! :D For those friend whom I've talked to, you might have heard of the one about me going to Wild Wild Wet while taking care of the kids. (and then get really jealous of me getting that free ticket in :P) Hehe...the privilege of helping out, I say.

So on Tuesday, we went to Sembawang Park. Although it obviously doesn't have the excitement of Wild Wild Wet, just being with these kids is fun enough! :D You may not believe me, so try it out yrself. Oh but it's best if you're those who enjoy sports, since going out to these places means playing sports. (Or for girls, if you're lucky, there'll be a beach! xD) To be honest, I also sat on the beach as all the little primary school boys went there after a while. Despite the heat, there still has the best wind. XD

By the way, these events are from Lakeside Family Centre. It's fun to go to places and have fun yourself, but ultimately the main priority is them having fun, NOT ALL JUST ABOUT YOU! Once you go, I doubt you'll regret it! Approximately, it's about 4-5 hours of fun. From 9.30 to around 2.30pm. :D

Oh I heard next Tuesday they're going to Escape Theme Park. Hehe...getting jealous again?

Anyone interested can either SMS me or tell me on MSN! If not, quite bored to travelling alone. (P.S. Those not staying near me also can join!) Remember, it's next tuesday. ;) 

Fun? It's all up to you how you wanna make it fun ;)

Current Music Playing: What About Now by Daughtry

Shadows fill an empty heart
As love is fading,
From all the things that we are
But are not saying.
Can we see beyond the scars
And make it to the dawn?

Change the colors of the sky 
And open up to
The ways you made me feel alive,
The ways I loved you.
For all the things that never died,
To make it through the night,
Love will find you.

16:18

I tried to find it on youtube but can't find it. Probably coz of the title of the song~~~ -.-

Nevertheless, this is Alv's track of (last) week. xD

Quite a 'soothing song' as opposed to the title, but it's mainly about a breakup, in a really really bad way. :P So much so that the guy doesn't wanna see his girlfriend ever again. Probably coz she's not faithful? XD

What's really interesting is All-American Rejects seem to be going in the direction of Panic At The Disco. As in they wanna use a bit of humour into this video. Look no further than Nine In The Afternoon by Panic At The Disco. Do the comparison yourself!

I like the logo :D And the good thing is, colour doesn't mind. You can customise it colour wise. :D Well, mebbe not u ba. xD

        

Well this is it! Enjoy! Hehe...

Current Music Playing: Gives You Hell by All-American Rejects

I wake up every evening 

With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place
And you're still probably working

At a 9 to 5 base
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car?
And did it ever get you far?
You've never seem so tense, love
I've never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn, and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well

Hope it gives you hell

Hope it gives you hell 

(Guitar Solo)

Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where'd it all go wrong? 

The list goes on and on

And truth be told I miss you
And truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn, and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well

Hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see, 

What you've done to me
You can take back your memories,

They're no good to me
And here's all your lies,
You can look me in my eyes
With that sad sad look, that you wear so well

(When you see my face, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth a damn, and treats you well
Then he's a fool, you're just as well 

Hope it gives you hell)

When you see my face, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song and sing along, oh you'll never tell
Then you're the fool, I'm just as well
Hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song,

I hope that it will give you hell
You can sing along, 

Wow...would anyone like to count how many times the word 'hell' is used? XD

Pretty sarcastic song, isn't it? Hahax...

Btw, They're coming out a second single soon, so look out for it! ;) But...

Current favourite's still Broken by Lifehouse!!! :D :D :D

19:55

Secondly, sorry for not posting these few days...again... :(

Oh yea, I heard Tongue Tied from Faber Drive on 91.3FM...and I was lyk OMG! It's on S'pore radio?! o.O So hope it will be on 98.7FM soon, though the song was released as a single in August 2007! -.-

I also hope it's a new song on 91.3FM...so that I can see it in the music charts! :D :D :D

16:02

It's very simple. You want people to respect you refs? You respect the players 1st. EARN RESPECT TO GET RESPECT! As simple as that. Why this debate actually came up (not to say the 'respect for refs' campaign was a total failure) is all because the refs have not been making consistent decisions. In fact, some are absolutely bizarre. And now, not only the players are losing it. The managers are stepping up liaox. Whose fault? All started with the refs. If the decisions in a game by refs are MOSTLY RII think GHT, and they are able to CONTROL THE PLAYERS, then no one would complain, right? Alex Ferguson, Man Utd's manager, feel refs don't give his players enough security. I think, most non-physical side do feel the same way, just 'using' Ferguson as their "head complainer"! XD Nevertheless, refs need to get their job done WELL, before they want others to start respecting them. So right now, FA should SHELF IT!!! It's not working anyway~

Elsewhere, I think the New Paper's Iain Macintosh writes really good articles. He calls himself "Your English Kaki". It may be sports, but I shall prove that sports articles can teach you good english skills too! :D

One great example is the article on 5 Nov in The New Paper, titled "Bad boy Barton pushes his luck". I love this article and made me really impressed with his writing... ;) Here's some quotes from his aritcle:

1.* "Just one week after his composed, match-winning performance against WBA, the halo above Joey Barton's head began to slip."

2.** "For a man who is reported to be quite clever, this was stupidity on a grand scale."

3. "If only you could take his brain out and replace it with something more reliable, a pot plant perhaps or a small house brick, then you'd have an international class footballer".

4. ** "It should be quite simple. If you've just got out of prison for assaulting a team-mate and if you still have a suspended ban still hanging over your head, don't go around flicking people's noses and don't fly into tackles as if you're addicted to the sound of breaking bones" (funny eh? Sarcasm at its best! XD)

And this is my favourite.

5. *** "It's the sheer lunacy of a man who knows that every camera is trained on him losing his temper. It's the gross negligence of someone who knows that his career is hanging over a precipice, failing to keep his composure long enough to save it."

(Precipice = a very steep rock or cliff, typically a tall one)

Genius writing, isn't it? I'm not really trying to gain Macintosh (he sounds like a computer by the way :P) some supporters, but I do hope he can write more of such articles. 

At least there will be one person who will appreciate his articles. ;)

Current Music Playing: Decode by Paramore (the song from Twilight the movie soundtrack)

How can I decide what's right?
When you're clouding up my mind
Can't win your losing fight all the time
Not gonna ever own what's mine
When you're always taking sides
You won't take away my pride
No, not this time
Not this time

How did we get here?
I use to know you so well
How did we get here?
Well, I think I know

The truth is hiding in your eyes
And its hanging on your tongue
Just boiling in my blood
But you think that I can't see
What kind of man that you are
If you're a man at all
Well, I will figure this one out on my own
(I'm screaming "I love you so... But my thoughts you can't decode")

13:14

To ensure that I post at the least once a week, and after listening to 987DJs having segments like "Shan and Rozz recommends" and "Jacq's track of the week", I shall have my very own "Alv's track of the week"! (Partly coz I prefer Jacq to Shan and Rozz :P) Basically, I just recommend a song every week. :D This week, we have Love Song by Taylor Swift!

Look out for next week's Alv's recommended track! ;)

2day's post...short eh? XD

Current Music Playing: Something That I Already Know by Backstreet Boys

Here we are
Seven days, 

And seven nights of empty tries
It's rituals, habitual
But it's never gonna work this time

We're to the point, of no return
And along the way the only thing we've learned
Is how to hurt each other

I'm looking back
And wondering why
It took so long to realise
That nothing's changed
It never will
All these years of standing still
Still we'll stay in all this pain
And nothing's gonna make it go away

I don't wanna wait another minute
Put me out of my misery
I can read your mind, baby you're not in it
We're not what we used to be
No you wouldn't have to lie to me, if you would only let me go
And I don't wanna wait another minute, to hear
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know
Something that I already know
I know, I know, I know

15:05

Oh which brings me to a point. For those who wanna know when I come online nowadays (coz i can only stay online for 4 hours a day from now on) :(, I'll be online mostly in the afternoon 2+ onwards till around 7+. If u're lucky, I might be online in the morning 10+ or 11+. :D If you're lucky, that is. But at night 8pm onwards, definitely not! Because to me, that period now is for me to spend quality time watching TV with my family! :D See, I'm so good! Hehe...

And I've found a new hoby during this holiday - Music Video Watching! Hahax, it's quite nice actually. Watched the video for Decode by Paramore, better known to be in the Twilight the movie soundtrack. Oh parts of the Twilight movie is shown in the music video for Decode too! ;) Like the part where Edward saved Bella from the car, or rather lorry, crash. Hahax it's lorry rite? :S Another 1 is Superhuman by Chris Brown featuring Keri Hilson. Wow, really like superman seh. Save Keri Hilson from the brink of being knocked down also. -.-  Two superhuman videos. Both saves girls from crashes. However, 1 'hero' is a vampire, the other is...just a super man! xD Sarcastic, but that's what music videos are, rite?

Well, I guess that's about it. I don't know what else 2 post, seriously. Man Utd are playing 2nite, or rather, tml morning! Here's a BIG GOOD LUCK TO THEM! :D

1 more thing! Uhh if you are thinking of going for choral nite tomorrow, make sure you "clear customs" 1st! In other words, YOUR PARENTS! Coz it's not very safe for girls especially to walk around at 11+ at nite. So be safe! Safety is of my utmost concern for anyone ;)

Peace! ;) (hehe, i'm making to peace-ing again! xD)

Current Music Playing: Angel by Natasha Bedingfield

Just like a shadow
I'll be beside you
I'll be your comfort
And let it guide you home
I will provide you

A place of shelter
I wanna be in your zone
Tell me what you wanted me to do
I'll make you great to be a man
With a woman who can stand
On every promise given, making vows to please her man

If I could be your angel (your angel, your angel)
Protect you from the pain (from the pain, oh)
I'll keep you safe from danger
You'll never hurt again, no more

I'll be your A.N.G.E.L, yea

A.N.G.E.L

A.N.G.E.L
I'm gonna be your A.N.G.E.L
I'll be your angel

15:16

It's really like a fairytale story, where a girl and a boy who love each other, can't do so because of the parents. I like the way 'baby just say yes' is used in the song! :D Hahax Taylor Swift should have changed the title! XD Jkjk.

Nevertheless, a great song...

10:38

Hahax to be honest, I don't know what to post. :P Hence, this quite explains xinying's tag of y I'm posting quizzes only. Hehe...

Well, I improved in my tennis! REMARKABLY!!! huge leap from last time. Finally got it inside my head to go under the ball and give it more spin. Coz more spin = more control! :D The new racket works! Hahax, my backhand is getting more and more consistent, so now I'm learning to aim corners with my backhand. As for forehand, I think I'll just make sure I can hit it over now. :P And yes, a bit ironic that my backhand is better than my forehand. Most people start with their forehand 1st before the backhand! XD Well, call me 'weird'! XD

I shall keep this post short ba. People are performing for choral nite today! Too bad I can't make it...~ so here, I shall give a big

Current Music Playing: Invincible by Jesse McCartney

Everytime I'm home, I pass that road
Driving alone, and the street feels cold
Seeing your face, yeah it's haunting me

My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
Just where you would be, four years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights, came down
The doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours

I said don't do it babe
Said it ain't worth it babe
But you did it anyway
Four or five drinks and you were on your way
Everything's cool on the straight away
But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
Why babe?

Whoever said that life was fair,
When you live without a care?
When you're invincible
When you're invincible
When you're invincible, Who thinks about
