Bruce Springsteen


This is the theme song to Philadelphia, starring Tom Hanks & Denzel Washington.
It's mournful but has this melodic dirge about life with AIDS.

这是由Tom Hanks和Denzel Washington主演的电影《Philadelphia》的主题曲.
相当悲哀的一首歌.
Watch 4:55 of the video.
It's that exact scene which attracted me to Bruce Springsteen!!
Don't you find him & his voice masculine? o(^o^)o

I can repeat that scene many times and still get excited! (lol)

This song was written in 1985 by Michael Jackson & Lionel Richie.
During that time, Ethiopia was experiencing famines & droughts.
So a group of popular musicians got together to record it to raise funds.

I always feel an urge to cry whenever I listen to the song or when I watch the video.
Except when Bruce Springsteen is on screen (lol)

注意看video时间: 4:55
就是那个影像中的Bruce Springsteen,深深地吸引住我的目光!!
你们不觉得他很有魅力吗? o(^o^)o

我可以重复再看,还是会很兴奋! (笑)

这首歌是由Michael JacksonLionel Richie在1985年写的.
当时,埃塞俄比亚正闹饥荒.
所以一群当红歌手聚在一起灌录这首歌来凑钱.

每次听这首歌,或看到music video时,几乎都会落泪.
不过当Bruce Springsteen出现时,我就会很high! (笑)

Movie Marathon 电影马拉松



Thriller movies are getting more & more predictable.
Saw Untraceable yesterday but I wasn't disappointed, though.
Poor Colin Hanks, I thought he could survive... (´ω`)


This morning, I watched P.S. I Love You.
10 minutes into the movie, I started crying, all the way till the end. 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

I can't remember, from recent memory, any movie that could make me cry during its entirety.

I think I'm gonna get the novel later☆


It's been a while since I last watched Philadelphia.
Released in 1993, the film revolves around HIV/AIDS & homosexuality.

At that time AIDS was in its early stage becoming a severe social issue, so I think the contents of the movie was very shocking, as it described things such as the epidemic of misunderstanding about AIDS; prejudice and discrimination against AIDS patients.

The theme song "Streets Of Philadelphia" was written & performed by Bruce Springsteen.


When I was young, I remember that whenever the "We Are The World" music video is on TV,
I would always look out for Bruce Springsteen (lol)

Back then, I didn't know who this guy was.
There's a scene which focus on him singing "We are the world~ (´0`)~♪"

That hoarse voice really got me excited! (lol)

Ahh!! "Who is this guy?"

It was 10 years ago when I finally found out his identity!! \(^∇^)/
He had sung the theme "Secret Garden" to Jerry Maguire.
When I saw the music video, I was so ecstatic!

"Aha! That's the guy with the hoarse voice!! I finally know his name!!" (σ^0^)σ

昨天看了《Untraceable》,结局很爆发呢!
可怜的Colin Hanks,我还以为他能逃脱... (´ω`)

今早看了《P.S. I Love You》.
电影已开始了10分钟,我就已经哭得稀里哗啦的
一哭就哭到电影结束.

最近所看的电影,我影像中好像没看过能让我能从头哭到尾的电影啊! 。・゚(´□`)゚・。

我迟些时候会去买原著小说☆

已经许久没看《Philadelphia》了.
1993年的电影,剧情围绕着爱之病同性恋的话题.

那个时候,爱之病刚开始成为社会的担忧,所以我觉得故事很惊人.
还有,爱之病严重被大家误解,甚至对患者带有偏见的种种的问题。

主题曲"Streets Of Philadelphia" 是由Bruce Springsteen作词作曲、主唱.

小的时候,每当"We Are The World" 的music video在电视上播时,
我都会很注意他 (笑)

当时,我并不知道他是谁.
他那把沙哑的声音,在video里头唱着 "We are the world~ (´0`)~♪"

真的让我很兴奋耶! (笑)

天啊!! "他到底是谁呀?"

10年前,我终于知道他的身份了哟!! \(^∇^)/
那时他唱了《Jerry Maguire》的主题曲 "Secret Garden"
我看到那个music video的时候,哇塞!! 是他啦!!!

"哈哈! 就是那个唱歌很沙哑的猛男!! 我终于知道他是谁了!!" (σ^0^)σ

"What A Day"


Finally a brand-new episode of Grey's Anatomy!!
It's a pain to see Derek & Meredith not talking to each other.
Shonda Rimes, the creator of the series, said they will end up together eventually.
As to how, we'll have to keep tuning in.

Heard this song at the end of the episode, check it out

What a day to be alive
What a day to realize I'm not dead
What a day to save a dime
What a day to die trying

What a way to say goodbye
What a wonderful life now all aligned
What a way to use survive
What a way to say goodbye
What a day to give a damn
What a day for Gone With The Wind
What a day to start again
What a day to give up dry gin

Bring on the evening
As I cry
Bring on the evidence
Of my life

Where to go, where to go
From here, I
Don't know
Where to go, where to go
From here, I
Don't know
Don't know
What a day to visit Seattle
What a day for San Francisco
What a day, holy Toledo
What a day to get in the air and go
What a day to give up smoking
What a day to absorb Jim Beam
What a day to welcome a baby
And to begin breathing

Yellow 黄色



This week, I'm going bananas!! (lol)
Isn't it pretty?
I'm quite satisified with the results!

The only thing that I'm slightly disappointed is the glitter polish.
It's just not 'strong' enough...
I had applied 3 layers but still I didn't get the desired results (´・ω・`)

Oh well, not bad for my first attempt.
I'm gonna get a stronger glitter polish later~

Sigh~ removing is gonna be a pain (TωT)
Glitters are beautiful but when it's time to wash them off,
it's gonna take more effort than usual.

That's the price to pay if you want to be pretty☆


这个星期,我走香蕉路线!! (笑)
漂亮吗?
出来的效果,我还很满意的说~

唯一令我失望的是闪亮亮的指甲油.
不够 '亮'啦...
搽了3层还是达不到我期待的效果(´・ω・`)

不过,第一次已经算不错了.
待会儿要买更'亮'的指甲油~

哎哟~ 该洗掉的时候一定很辛苦 (TωT)
这种闪亮亮的玩意虽然很美,不过要洗掉需要很多精力呀.

这就是爱美的代价☆

Robert Downey Jr


Remember the television series Ally McBeal?
The imaginary dancing baby, and Richard Fish's weird fetish with women with neck wattles (lol)

Robert Downey Jr. & Jon Bon Jovi's additions to the show were brilliant!
We all know Jon Bon Jovi heads my fave band, Bon Jovi.
But Robert Downey Jr. also have a charismatic voice.

Everytime I listen to this track, I always picture myself walking on the streets during Christmas.
Despite the title and the lyrics, it gives me a lonely feel...(・ω・)

还记得美国电视剧《Ally McBeal》吗?
那个女主角幻想会跳舞的baby, 还有Richard Fish喜欢女人的怪癖(笑)

Robert Downey Jr.Jon Bon Jovi 的加入把剧情把故事弄得更火热!
我们都知道Jon Bon Jovi是Bon Jovi 的成员之一, 也是我喜欢的团队.
不过Robert Downey Jr. 也有一把很迷人的嗓音哦~

每次听这首歌,我都会想到在圣诞节,独自一人在街上.
尽管歌名和歌词的意思,歌曲的melody让我有种寂寞的感觉...(・ω・)


Taken from his 2004 debut album, "The Futurist," this is my favourite track.
He co-wrote many of the songs, and even played the piano~

Iron-Man, anyone?

收录在他2004年首张专辑 "The Futurist," 这首是我非常喜欢的.
专辑里的歌他也有份写的,而且也弹奏钢琴耶~

有没有看《Iron-Man》?

Timeless, Priceless



Look at my Longines watch~ Σ(゚ー^*)
Branded stuff, very expensive~!!

The gold watch was left to me from my late grandmother.

Yesterday Dad took it to the watch shop.
Granny purchased it at $300 when she bought it more than 10 years ago~
And now it's worth more than that amount!
And the screen is -good material- crystal glass~ Wow!

Mum told me yesterday that when Granny bought it then,
she must have intended to give it to me...(ノ_・、)
This gold watch, NO, this precious watch left to me by Granny, I will never, ever sell it.
Although I don't wear it, but it doesn't mean that I don't cherish it☆

PS
Kim Dongwan's 2nd album will be released on 8th May!! o(^o^)o
ARGH!! His 1st album still can't be found anywhere in local stores

Also, Part 1 of the Deathly Hallows movie will be released in Nov 19, 2010! o(^-^o)(o^-^)o


我新的Longines手表不错吧~ Σ(゚ー^*)
这可是名牌哦,很贵的呢~!!

旁边的金表也是我的,不过是奶奶留给我的.

昨天爸爸到表行去询问了一下:
原来奶奶10多年前买这表时只有$300~
不过现在的价值已经标高了哦!
还有,手表的表面可是水晶玻璃耶~

昨天妈妈跟我说,当时奶奶买手表时,可能已经准备送给我了...(ノ_・、)
这金表,不,奶奶留给我的宝贝,我永远都不会卖的.
虽然我不戴,不过并不表示我不珍惜它☆

PS
金东万 的第2张专辑会在5月8日发行lo!! o(^o^)o
哇呀呀!! 他的首张专辑在本地还是买不到!

还有, 《Deathly Hallows》电影版的第一集会在2010年11月19日上映! o(^-^o)(o^-^)o
