The first one is the full version of the song sang by S.H.E. The second one is coke's advertisement for Olympic 2008 at Beijing. I can't believe that guy is Wilbur, I mean he doesn't look like Wilbur.

The advertisement version doesn't have Hebe's voice, and I don't know why. But anyway, I've managed to find the full version by S.H.E. Immediately, I share it with Evil Sister, who first claim that the advertisement doesn't have Hebe's voice.

Dear doesn't like the chorus. As for me, I've yet to think about the it. But I find the song quite catchy.

--------------------

8th April is coming. And I can't decide what I want to do on that day, what to eat on that day, where to go on that day. But I only have the time limit of morning till evening. And I want to go somewhere where it's convenient for Dear to head off to her class chalet after that.

If it's possible, maybe somewhere exciting. :D

Come to think of it, I feel like eating sandwich at the Raffles Hotel, or is it Raffles Hotel? Can't remember, wait till I remember, then I shall see about it.

Played Chess with a Miniature Daschund






My new wound, which I got it a few days ago due to an in-grown hair. But the in-grown hair doesn't seem to want to come out till this early morning. And there's pus oozing out while I get that in-grown hair out.






I saw a huge-ass cockroach lurking around the dinning table. Immediately, I grab the insecticide and chase it around the living room. Mum came out to scold me as that freaking insecticide will cause the floor to be slippery. The ending of the cockroach is right inside that red pail. I didn't dare to open it and dispose it's dead body. I'm waiting for either my father or mother to dispose it for me.

It was kind of gross as I watched it jumping and struggling for life. Poor cockroach. But it isn't my fault of being the murderer. I'm afraid of them and was determine to get rid of them.

Dear, our future house, please please let's not have such pests lurking around OK? They're a nightmare to me. Grr . . .

I went over to my girl's place today. Idiotic girl, slept till she barely could hear her phone rang 3 times due to sms, and 2 times due to calls. But eventually, she picked up the third call where I'm already outside of her doorsteps, just right at the staircase looking down at the plant her mother kept.

But still, I forgive her as she's having a nice and irritating headache. Being bored, I took a photo of her sleeping together with me. Upon knowing that I'm taking photos, she immediately gave me a peck on my cheek. Sweet~ I feel blessed. *smile*








After a nice long sleep since morning till around 3pm, we had a game of Chinese Chess. Remember I once blogged about her huge Chinese Chess set? Yes! Finally I got my hands on it.






After much attempts, I finally got a nice photo of this stupid miniature daschund. It wasn't easy to get her to sit right there just for me to get a picture of her, just to show my mum I played chess with this dog. =.=

Anyway, the game went rather slow due to me not knowing which piece to move. But still I won, when she wants to give me a double canon checkmate. Bleahx . . . I won by coincidence, as none of us notice that I've already won. =.=






See, my canon ate her king. Yeah! Yeah! I won, I won.






This is her huge chess set. Nice right?

My forum found a Thai version of S.H.E's song, OST from Hana Kimi through CE.net

Bausch and Lomb

Previously, S.H.E endorsed in Bausch and Lomb for quite some time. Last year, it was visibly seen the advertisement on the North East Line MRT train itself for a few months. Television advertisement shown the advertisement they've took. Pamphlets, posters etc, all were S.H.E as you can see. Even the contact lens case, and they even give out tissue packets of S.H.E. Nice and clever techniques.

But currently, Lee Hom endorsed in Bausch and Lomb. It was no longer S.H.E anymore. Sadly to say, S.H.E fans won't be able to see the advertisement on Bausch and Lomb anymore, as now we see Lee Hom's face instead.

From my forum, CE Fanatic Craze, I got the information that S.H.E is endorsing in Macdonals instead. Previously was Lee Hom, with his song about [I'm Loving It], the catch phrase isn't it? But now it's S.H.E, but I've yet to see the advertisement.

Is S.H.E and Lee Hom switching places in endorsing in the products they once endorsed in?

Last night had a chat on the phone with Loke, whom I knew since the age of 13. She was telling me of her future plans. She wants to open a boutique and is currently saving $500 a month to reach the target of her plans. $12k was all she need, was what she told me. She didn't tell me about the expenses she'll be forking out on advertisement, brand name (I think the brand name you got to buy it isn't it?), marketing etc. She only told me she need at least $10k to rent a shop. =.=

She told me she doesn't need to worry about advertising nor marketing strategy etc. As we have classmates wanting to specialize in these areas. Upon hearing my plans of having a bakery (that doesn't sell bread), she told me I don't need to worry either. I have my dear girl to help me with everything I need. She said she'll cut cost in these areas. =.=

My girl upon hearing this said Loke's plan was wrongly planned. But anyway, I don't want to depend on my girl in everything I need if I were to open a bakery. Well, at least I don't mind my girl or friends to design logo(s) for me. =x Other than that, advertising, marketing etc. I think I want to figure myself. I'll only call for help if I needed to.

Loke said she'll open her boutique in two years time with her own branding. That's fast. But does she think that her $12k might not be enough? Anyway, it doesn't concern me much.

Anyone knows how to play Zoo Tycoon 2?
I doesn't seem to be able to understand how that game works. T.T

那首歌 (Na Shou Ge) In English - by Reuben Wong



Found this on youtube just this early morning while I'm searching for instrumental music for my animation. Sometimes you need a break from doing something consistently, but I think I had far too much break since the day I handed in my written report.

I would say, my presentation slides isn't half done, nor was it well done. I'm still trying to edit it. Today, I'm adding colors to my animation, and hopefully, it would be the right color. And yes, I'd be thinking on my CD packaging too. T.T Not to mention, think about what to present next week as well. Bleahx...

This song was originally sand by Yoga, one of Taiwanese singer who took part in a singing contest. It was named [That Song], translated in English. OK, it would be a direct translation and I wouldn't say my language is good.

But anyway, I would say the song was well done in English. It isn't easy to do something like a translation for a mandarin song. By direct translating it might not bring the actual meaning of the song out either. But still, thumbs up to the person who tried making this.

星光幫 - [總在我身旁]



This is one of the song by the competitors of the same singing contest that Yoga took part. I wouldn't say the vocals being put together is nice, nor the lyrics. To me, I find the melody, the rhythm etc. captures me.

Tong doesn't agree on the song being nice, but she say I could relate to the song, as in not related. She assume when I'm listening to this song, I'm looking at Dear. =x

Songs away . . .

Animation isn't easy. I can never be good in computer related things. I don't even know how to play Zoo Tycoon 2. Others might be playing the latest version of Roller Coaster Tycoon, I'm still at the oldest version. Because the latest versions, I know nuts about it. Bleahx . . .

Good Friday







It is Good Friday today, a victorious resurrection requires death, where a new life blooms from decay, and it's beauty is known only in relation to ugliness. It is also good because we realize there is a death of death in the death of Christ.

The Burial

Woke up in the morning though I'm really tired. It's grandaunt's burial today and that we're all attending it. Dragged the lazy me off out of bed and we're ready to head off to the void deck grandaunt is at. Relatives are there when we reached.

Paid grandaunt my last respect before heading off for a sit with my sister next to my uncle. For these few days, we've been talking about the love grandaunt had shown to us. And we greatly appreciated what she have done. She opened her house to us, keeping at least 3 families in to stay before we find ourselves a new home. She cooked meals for all of us together with grandmother, and that was almost everyday. We reminisce of the times we've had and greatly miss this grandaunt of mine.

The last service for grandaunt started, we sang and we prayed. I didn't shed a tear till the last moment, where we take our last look at her. We cried like there's no tomorrow. Cousins who lived with her broke down, Aunt Pauline comforted all of us. The last good-bye to grandaunt, and we'll never know when we'll meet again.

We followed the bus to the Cemetery. The bus couldn't accommodate all of us, and thus some drives. I could see at least 5 to 6 cars following the bus behind, directly behind. The bus changed lane, and so all the cars did. The bus turned at an angle, and all the cars did. It sort of reminded me of those days where we chased S.H.E, except the cars moving are much slower and following the traffic rules.

Reaching the cemetery, we had our last song together and our last prayer, before grandaunt's coffin was being lowered down into earth. We threw the flower given to pay our last respect before we head off back home.

We greatly will and always would, miss grandaunt a lot. We know we'll meet someday again, up in heaven.

May God Bless us all.

Amen!

I attended Grandaunt's funeral service today as I've missed yesterday. Tomorrow is her burial, and yes, I'm glad to know she left in peace.

I do not know of what my parents may think of me, or if they had already know that I've accepted Jesus Christ. Grandaunt is a nice person, she wants us to spread the words of God.

And so we will.

To my Dearest 4th Grandaunt

Dearest 4th Grandaunt,

I have yet to say goodbye to you, nor have I been there in time to. I would proudly say, you're the one of the best grandaunt I ever had.

Though my memories of you isn't much, but they'll always be with me. It was sad to hear that you're back home with Father Lord. I hope you will enjoy your eternal life up in heaven, a home where Father Lord has prepared for all His children.

I am happy that you've cared for me and watch me grow to be who I am now. I am contented with all those love, care and concern you've showered me. Though I maybe a naughty girl when I was young, running around pretending to be a cop and shouted at you for no reason, you didn't get angry nor tell me off; but to look at me with your ever fierce eyes.

Grandaunt, I would miss those times where we're sort of at the backyard in Bridport Ave 96 and 94. Those times where I watch you making those new years goodies. From love letters to Kuay Ba Lu. I've yet to learn them from you, nor get the recipe, but the taste of them will always be with me. I maybe the naughty girl which might be of the way while you bake, but I thank God that I managed to taste the ever nicest love letter and Kuay Ba Lu. I will and always would miss these goodies which I would have never be able to taste them again.

There are many of times where you would scold me when I did something, I know you care and I'm truly grateful now. I might not have the most vivid memories you gave. But you'll always live in me. Someone whom I love and cherish most.

It was sad to hear of your departure, but I know Father Lord has decided to bring you home, as it is the time you would and should have been home. Grandaunt, up in heaven, your new home. You won't have to suffer like you had on this earth, nor will you have to worry about the clothes you wear and the food you would be eating. As Father Lord has already done everything, and is waiting for the right time to bring His children home.

Dearest Grandaunt, I might see you up in heaven in many years to come. I will never know when Father Lord will bring me home. But I would say, I'm not obedient enough to enter the gate of heaven. I've strayed away from God in the power of Satan I think. Grandaunt, I'll try with all my might to fight away Satan, and be on the right path where Father Lord has once taken me to. To know Him better and do what He wants me to.

I'll miss everything about you. I am sad deep inside when I heard of your departure. Somehow I felt like crying yet there's no tears. I've also come to realize you have been home and I should be happy about it, because you're safe up in heaven, your new home. The home where you'll have your name pinned on the door. A home where you can leave your doors open and not worry about robbery nor burglary.

Grandaunt, may you rest in peace.
I'll miss you lots.

With lots of love,
your grandniece, Michelle.

Romantic Princess Promotion

I've forgotten to set alarm to wake up on time to make my way down to Bugis. And as I clearly know that I've an event to attend, I still insist of not sleeping early last night until this early morning. It all thanks to don't know which sms that woke me up in the afternoon around 2:30pm. =.=

Which of course, I hurried to prepare and make my way down immediately to Bugis to meet up Lix and the others who had reached there early than me. I saw Aiqi there with another CEFC there. Can't really remember which CEFC forum was it. Oh never mind, not really important.

Most important thing was, we lost our Ella doll somewhere in the crowd and it was never to be found. T.T Kind of sad, but have to face this anyway. The girls took photos while I took video. Knowing very well that I can't freaking-ly transfer the the video. It's either due to the cable or something that wasn't done in my laptop to detect my newly bought videocam. And nice thing was, the whole forum members is waiting for my video.











Our CE dolls, designed and drawn by Mantou's friend who is one of our designer. We lost the smaller version of Ella somewhere in the rain and in the crowd.

It rained and I got drenched despite being under the umbrella. Above my head, there's 3 umbrellas, one dripping wet on my left, another dipping wet on my right. The middle was sheltering my precious videocam.

We had a wonderful time except that we're still not that closely bonded as I suppose it's one of the first time we met out. Which in my opinion, I think we need more CEFC outings. =x Other than the mushroom hunting and Kbox session by 2 members, most probably we should have reunion dinner somewhere in Singapore. =x







We're not the only CEFC in town. See! There's Chun and Ella supporters around that doesn't even bother to buy Romantic Princess DVD. Because we're only keen in buying Hana Kimi. =x

A Letter From God

Child,

All I do, I do in your best interest. In fact, I love you so much that I often look beyond your small requests and give you far better gifts than you ask Me to give. I do supremely above all you ask or think. And why? You are a member of My Royal Family and I think you deserve the best! So will you stop fretting about those "unanswered" prayers? ! AM giving you what you really want - not what you think you want. Do you mind?

Cheerfully,
Dad
