Was just looking through my music collection and found the songs that I used to listen to. Does bring back some nice memories…

 

1) Smile – Butterfly (remember that DDR1 song that goes like… “ah ya yee ya… i’m your little butterfly”! I bet they use this song for interrogating terrorists… no wonder they escape. follow the link to the youtube video… unbelievable! Used to hear this everywhere! Irritating but entertaining.)

 

2) Vengaboys – Boom Boom Boom (During NS, I remembered once we were on course and was stuck in camp for a couple of nights. Some of the guys went to the mess for karaoke sessions and started singing along to this. I have no idea where they got the videos from, but it’s damn funny when they dance to it! Subsequently, they called themselves the V2 boys:P)

 

3) Aqua – Barbie Girl (When I first bought the album, I drove to Zouk, wound down my window and blasted the song really loud… I think they played that for awhile… “life in plastic is fantastiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic!!)

 

4) Vanilla Ice – Ice Ice Baby (Believe it or not, I used to have his MTV on video tape… this one rocks:P I think along with MC Hammer, they started the baggy pants culture)

 

5) China Dolls – “Single Eyelid Girl” – Thai version (Reminds me of the good times we had in Thailand. My friend went played this song off a jukebox in a foodcourt. Once the intro came on, all of us pretended we didn’t know him, it’s damn embarassing. But then, we grew to like that song and I bought the album before we left for Singapore. The chinese version was a runaway hit in Singapore months later).

 

Bonus track) Live on Release – I’m afraid of Britney Spears (I just love the lyrics… yea, I’m afraid of Britney too. Although I thought her first album was pretty nice)

 

 

 

Gabriel showed me this link which I thought was quite interesting. It claims to determine if you are a left or right brain user. When I saw the image, it always turns clockwise, which means I use more of my right brain. I wasn’t convinced, I thought it must be a hoax, so I got my housemate to see it. He saw anti clockwise, then clockwise, then anti clockwise… etc and it’s driving him mad. So it looks like a real test. And we found out later that, if you concentrate on the shadow of the legs, you can actually “toggle” the direction change:P

 

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test 

 

And if you only see the silhouette of a naked woman… you are not using your brain:P

After having extremely late dinner last night, I dozed off in front of the TV. Halfway through my sleep, Tammy came up and put her head on my chest. Such a darling:D Only if I can keep her. Those coming next Monday will get to see her 😀

 

 

  

 

Going to take a nap now… getting sleepy…

 

 

My laptop decided to be a desktop, because the battery is no longer working. Good on ya, no more meetings at Coffee Beans:D Now… should I buy a new battery to revive a 2 year old laptop or buy a new laptop to replace this 2 year old “desktop” 😀 Let’s consult the “包吃多多计算机”.

 

 

 

After my “sumptuous” breakfast, I decided to skip lunch to save some space for the reunion dinner. Reunion dinner is always nice. We hardly sit down as a whole family to have dinner nowadays with so much individual commitments. I miss that warm and cosy feeling surrounding the dinner table that I used to take it for granted.

 

After leaving my parent’s place, I went home and spent some time chilling out with friends and somehow we started playing Chor Dai Dee. Can’t remember when was the last time I played, I guess it must’ve been some time because I felt a little retarded sorting out the cards. That went on till 4am… got a little hungry so we had Bak Kwa (again!).

 

What’s Chinese New Year without new year songs right? So I pulled out my collection (well, just 2 actually) of CNY songs. My favourite has to be this medley (ok, the Ah Bengs call it MEGAMIX) by Twins. Pretty cool stuff, techno and upbeat!:D You probably can tell that the 881 bug hasn’t really left:P

 

“恭喜恭喜恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀… 恭喜恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀… … 财神到! (huat ah!) 财神到! (huat ah!)”

 

Bet if they play it in a disco (now known as CLUBS), the Bengs will add “huat ah” somewhere in between the songs. Berry nice, I like!:D
