Hey! Feel free to try out the tag board :D More convenient than going to the guestbk if u want a reply frm me...:D
Song of the moment: NEWS--NEWS Nippon!! I really hope to share it with the class someday, and I think I'll stream it on this blog too :D It's really inspiring, makes u really want to go out, follow your dreams and just do your best in everything!
Will put up lyrics and translation when I have time :D
I emailed my angel...crapped and moaned a lot abt what I've been moaning about for the whole week--wanting to share songs with the class yet at the same time feeling bad abt forcing ppl to listen to my songs so often...
And I still have a lot of songs I wanna share. I guess i won't be satisfied until I turn at least 1/2 the class into Jpop fans...or at least Arashi/News/Johnny's fans...ok, maybe 1/4 of the class who are not alr jpop fans?
I think I can count the number of Jpop fans in the class on one hand.
I see everyone else bopping and singing along to the English songs that are played furing Maths--Britney Spears, Westlife, etc etc. Everyone knows those songs, that's why. But when I play my Jpop...I guess only a few ppl (me, Gwen, maybe Wenhan) know the songs, it's unfamiliar to the rest so they don't even move to the music, and it's too much to expect them to sing along when they don't even know the song!!
I guess my greatest wish is for someone...someone in class other than Gwen...someone in the English songs crowd to actually say that a certain Jpop song of mine was really nice, what's the group's name/can play some more song? I want ppl...not just one other person--to actually say "Play on! I wanna hear the rest of the CD!" etc etc...but it's a bit too much to ask for isn't it? I can't expect everyone to like the songs that I like. I don't like the songs most of the ppl in my class like either. I'm ok with westlife and all, but I don't really like Britney's latest songs. I'm probably biased against her, but I don't like Britney now :P She's just too hypocritical for my liking. :P And I feel that the quality of her music is deteriorating. She was so much better in her "Baby One More Time" days
English music keeps deteriorating in my opinion. You get 'singers' who sell albums mainly through their looks, or the clothes they are *NOT* wearing :P Britney and Christina seem to be competing to see who sheds all her clothes the fastest. I can't stand it...
Maybe I haven't heard enough English singers. I haven't been keeping up with the English music scene after all. If I actually *know* and English song you can bet it's at least 3 years old. Besides one brief craze over the Spice Girls when I was in Pr 3 and dabbling in boybands when I was arnd P4, I didn't really like the current English pop music much. When i went totally crazy over an English music group, it was the 1970s grp Abba, which i still like pretty much now :) I like English oldies better than the current English songs.
Don't get me wrong. Some current English songs are quite good :D I like music with a strong beat, eg rock. But when the lyrics are totally ridiculous/don't make sense...:P :P:P I can't really tolerate vulgarities either. i keep thinking, all the vulgarities ppl in the Western media spout in public are why so many of the ppl arnd me, influenced by those very same personalities and music, spout vulgar words as if there was nothing wrong with it. It really hurts the ears, and it doesn't give ppl a good impression. You think it makes you sound tough? Well, to be really frank and blunt, the ppl who keep saying vularities give me the impression that they weren't well brought up, and that they don't respect other people or themselves. They know VERY well what words like the f-word mean, and they still think it's fun and cool to use it.
A guy who keeps saying vulgar words wouldn't give me a very good impression either. It's plain rude.
Young ppl nowadays are generally plain rude, insensitive, inconsiderate and not tactful enough. They say what they like without thinking abt how others would feel. After all, it's the other party, not them, who would feel the hurt. And the other party doesn't concern them! :P
I think sometimes I can be untactful too. Resolution: Think much, much more before i say anything.
