The Letter by Hoobastank feat. Vanessa Amorosi

Absolutely love this song, Doug Robb remains one of my favourite vocals around.

blogging vs twittering

Haha, just doing my part in the shinoda vs phoenix saga.

Cars On Blu-Ray

I remembered around 7-8 years ago when I popped in my DVD for The Matrix, and was impressed by how sharp and clear the images were. Today, I was really impressed by Blu-ray when I decided to "finally" put in the BD for Cars. It was amazing, the resolution is truly great, and I am wondering what's the next step in audio-visual technology. Maybe I should try some other live-action movies later...

But now... time for more Rock Band practise...

I love my PS3 so much...

Does obnoxious ppl knows they are obnoxious?

And so a few weeks has gone by, and I guess I am doing better.

Now that I get that out of the way :P, On to what I wanted to talk about.

Well, a discussion with a friend recently has again brought up something very interesting, well, she was kind of telling me about this obnoxious lady that she knew from work, and I was just wondering, there's probably like dozens, hundreds, or millions of these people around in this world, but really, do they really know that they are obnoxious? Come to think of it, Am I obnoxious and I just didn't know about it??? I promise, if someone are kind enough to point it out to me, I would try to change.

Anyway, I just saw some youtubes of people playing the bass, and I was just tempted to maybe give it a try... maybe...? well, we'll see about that...

James Blunt's Same Mistake

Heard this song over the radio a few times, but on a lonely friday night, I decided to pull out and watch P.S. I Love You. well the movie is so-so... until the end credits where this song is played... and being me, when I find a song that matches exactly how I feel... well not really "exactly" but you get a rough idea, here's James Blunt, Same Mistake.



Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars beneath my feet.
Remember rights that I did wrong, so here I go.
Hello, hello. There is no place I cannot go.
My mind is muddy but my heart is heavy. Does it show?
I lose the track that loses me, so here I go.

And so I sent some men to fight, and one came back at dead of night.
Said he'd seen my enemy. Said he looked just like me,
So I set out to cut myself and here I go.

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice.
Give me reason but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again.

And maybe someday we will meet, And maybe talk and not just speak
Don't buy the promises 'cause, there are no promises I keep.
And my reflection troubles me, so here I go.

I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake,
I'm not calling for a second chance,
I'm screaming at the top of my voice,
Give me reason, but don't give me choice,
'Cause I'll just make the same mistake again

Saw the world turning in my sheets and once again I cannot sleep.
Walk out the door and up the street; look at the stars.
Look at the stars fall down.
And wonder where did I go wrong.

Overspending this month

I was unreasonably depressed recently.. and ended up.. I spend on lots of er.. toys. I know.. depression is a lousy excuse... :P. Anyway, just a list of stuffs that I bought this month, if only to keep track :-

(1) Sony PLAYSTATION®3 ( YES!!!! after 5-6 months of pondering... I finally got it ) no games yet though... :( so am just using it to play demos for the moment.
(2) the Soundtrack to Across the Universe... which I highlighted in a previous post, and I happened to saw it @ HMV the other day
(3) The DVD to Eason Chan's Moving On Concert... excellent performance by the new king of canto pop.
(4) Some Blu-ray disc ( though... I don't have a HDTV yet :( but taking advantage of the Amazon.com buy 2 get 1 free Blu-ray promotion, means I get each movie for around 15 bucks. :) ) Making up this list are :- Happy Feet, Cars, A Scanner Darkly, Corpse Bride, The Fugitive and Ratatouille.
(5) Watchmen TPB from the Kinokuniya member sale.

Of course.. with this overspending.. I really hope to make up for it next month. which means.. no more extravagance spending till I get things back on track again. :(

Now there's even more to touch....

Arrrgh... it's so tempting... it comes as no surprise a geek like me is so tempted to get the iPod Touch. as if it's not tempting enough,
(a) there's new application ( previously only available to the iPhone ) which makes it more like a PDA, rather than just an mp3 player.
(b) now there's a 32GB version.
(c) i saw at least 3 users on the train on the way home today using them... -_-;;;

so what is stopping me from getting one of these babies???
(a) I prefer to get a PS3 first... ( which I have delayed getting since 3-4 months ago, and I'm so desperate to play Rock Band!!! ) which is also cheaper than an iPod
(b) my old 4th Gen iPod is still alive and well ( 3 years old and it's still kicking )

and so, the verdict? I will delay this as long as i can... well, unless my old iPod suddenly died *evil grin*. ( I'm only kidding, pls dun die on me... o_o )
