Age Of Glory

12 June 2008 – I watched this TV show called Age Of Glory yesterday. According to the TV programme guide in The Star, it was supposed to be the conclusion episode but I kinda doubt that since some issues have not been resolved yet. There are, like, three main characters. All of them women and the story were about their struggles and their relationship with the men in their lives. Set in the 60s and 70s. What I wanted to mention is, I like the ending theme song. Unfortunately I don’t understand the lyrics. I wonder what the song was about. I know it must be something to do with love because there’s the word “ai” in it. This surely proves that music transcends the boundary of language. :D

Something Light

10 June 2008 – Ok, enough heavy stuff. Those heavy issues can make me feel down. All we can do is try to make our lives better and try to be a better person and try to treat other people with respect. And humor works so well in making my live a little better. This is why I love humorous writing, articles, columns, etc. When I was subscribing Reader’s Disgest, I always read the humour sections first. The laughter Is The Best Medines, Life’s Like That, Humor In Uniforms and things like that at the end of each article.

I read The Star paper and some of the columnists that I love to read are Mary Schneider, Kevin Cowherd, A. Asohan (excellent article on love story in non rom com movies J), sujesh pavithran, dzof azmi, Brenda Benedict, Alexandra Wong…and others. Any article that has humor in it, I’m in. I am such a sucker for anything that can induce laughter. Sitcoms, rom coms, dot coms hahahahahahahaha, no, just kidding. I would like to think I laugh enough. I frown too much sometimes so a laugh sure exercises the face muscles. Though I heard that we use more muscle to frown than to smile. Funny how that is, isn’t it?

Anyway, I love comics. I read them first when I read the paper followed by the sports section of course J. In The Star paper, I like Calvin and Hobbes, Zits, Hagar the Horrible, and though I am not really a fan of Garfield, I do read it anyway. The others too, except maybe Brenda Starr, and Spiderman (oh no, the wrath of spiderman fans) the former because I don’t get it and the latter because it just does not compare to the real comic books version. And I used to love reading Preteena that can be found in the Star Two section every Wednesday but no more. I tried to find it online but no luck. But I do read other comics online. Like Rose Is Rose, Agnes, Andy Cap, Baby Blues, Dinette Set, Jerry King Cartoons, Mother Goose And Grimm, Non Sequitur, Speed Bump, Red And Rover, Doonesbury, etc.

Laughter is the best medicine. A laughter a day keeps the doctor at bay. Hahahaha.
10 June 2008- I think writing is therapeutic.:) I sure feel good writing about anything and everything. Putting into words your thoughts. At this very moment I am listening to this song I’m Yours by Jason Mraz and I kinda like it. There’s a feeling of a Hawaiian guy on a ukulele singing on the beach as the sun sets.



I like Jason Mraz from the start. He is such a unique person. Like Mika of Grace Kelly. Hehehehe. And James Morrison though he is a bid melancholy. Marie Digby, Colbie Caillat, Sarah Bareilles(that song Love Song) and Gavin Degraw. Oh, and that guy who starred in One Tree Hill. He’s singer who hits on Nathan’s wife Haley. Tyler Hilton is the real name. His voice is distinctive. Beck, Jamiroquai (though I only like this one song and I can’t even remember the title but it is catchy), and others. But I kinda realize that I am not really a fan of singers or band but more a fan of songs. Some singers, I don’t even recognize them but I might love one of their songs. This is like how I show my support in sports. I like Kimi Raikkonen, so whatever team he ends up in, I will still support him. Except for maybe Arsenal whom I support no matter who the coach or the players. I digress. But music that is good to listen to will still be good no matter who the singer is. :)

Stop and Stare

Yeah, I am talking about the song. I feel that way sometimes.

Stop And Stare - One Republic

This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shakin off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're 'here' not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can u see what I see

They're tryin to come back, all my senses push
Un-tie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
But something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need

What u need, what u need...

Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do u see what I see...

Listening to this song............

on the radio lately and realize that I have been singing along a lot to it. I always rate a song as my favourite when I start to sing along when it plays. Like that Queen song, I Was Born To Love You. :)

Anyway, the song I am talking about is.....jeng jeng jeng.....(though I think a lot of people might have loved this song way way before me) Say It Again by Marie Digby.

The thing about love
Is i never saw it coming
It kinda crept up and took me by surprise
And now there`s a voice inside my heart that`s got me wondering
Is this true, i want to hear it one more time
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i`m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It`s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you`re in love
Say it again

Thing about you is you know just how to get me
You talk about us like there`s no end in sight
The thing about me is that i really want to let you
Open that door and walk into my life
Move in a little closer
Take it to a whisper
Just a little louder
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i`m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It`s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you`re in love

And it feels like it`s the first time
That anybody's ever brought the sun without the rain
And never in my whole life
Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name
Say it again for me
Cuz i love the way it feels when you are telling me that i`m
The only one who blows your mind
Say it again for me
It`s like the whole world stops to listen
When you tell me you`re in love
Say it again
When you tell me you`re in love
