Tune In : Wilson Philips - Hold On

After my experience in a Karaoke the last time, here’s my attempt to introduce some good evergreen songs to everyone out there.


HOLD ON
WILSON PHILIPS

I know this pain
Why do lock yourself up in these chains?
No one can change your life except for you
Don’t ever let anyone step all over you
Just open your heart and your mind
Is it really fair to feel this way inside?

[Chorus:]
Some day somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can you hold on for one more day
Things’ll go your way
Hold on for one more day

You could sustain
Or are you comfortable with the pain?
You’ve got no one to blame for your unhappiness
You got yourself into your own mess
Lettin’ your worries pass you by
Don’t you think it’s worth your time
To change your mind?

[Chorus]

I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and
Break free the chains
Yeah I know that there is pain
But you hold on for one more day and you
Break free, break from the chains

Some day somebody’s gonna make you want to
Turn around and say goodbye
Until then baby are you going to let them
Hold you down and make you cry
Don’t you know?
Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day yeah
If you hold on

Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day,
If you hold on
Can you hold on
Hold on baby
Won’t you tell me now
Hold on for one more day ‘Cause
It’s gonna go your way

Don’t you know things can change
Things’ll go your way
If you hold on for one more day
Can’t you change it this time

Make up your mind
Hold on
Hold on
Baby hold on

Karaoke with the right friends

I went on a Karaoke outing one night with some of my younger fooser friends and it was quite a mistake. Besides the fact it was on a weekday, singing in karaoke with the wrong crowd was really really arkward!

It was ok at the beginning when I sat in. They were singing songs from Jay Chou and quite a number of other chinese songs. I like those songs but I didn’t really sing along as I don’t speak mandarin or rather sing mandarin that well.

So while the girls are singing, I took the opportunity to fiddle around with the remote and keyed in quite a number of my favourite karaoke hits. After a couple more songs, my selection finally came up. It was Careless Whisper by George Michael (Wham!) and none of them in the room know of the song except me! It was really arkward singing the song alone and none of them seems to know any part of the lyrics. This went on for the next couple of songs and after that I just left the remote alone.

After running out of chinese songs to sing, the girls decided to sing some English songs. Finally, some songs that I can sing along to. To my f*#king surprised, they sang TATU - All The Thing She Says! Who the f*#k sings to TATU? Is it even a song at the first place and how can you sing to it? They girls were like so excited and sad to say, they can’t really sing to it but ended up reading the lyrics instead. So that’s it, I told myself no more karaokes with the younger crowds. I’m sticking to peers of my age.

For you noobs who don’t know the song Careless Whispers, take a listen to this song. Click on the damn freaking play button below :


CARELESS WHISPERS
GEORGE MICHAEL (WHAM)

Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find

Should’ve known better

I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes

I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll find

I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

Never without your love

Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to say

We could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one’s gonna dance with me
Please stay

And I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a fool

Should’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you

(Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) What I did’s so wrong
That you had to leave me alone

Massage from hell

I came from Penang and got a massive stiff neck the next morning. So I decided to take Richard’s advise and go for a body massage in Endah Parade, Sri Petaling. During lunch time, we went over to the massage parlour to make a reservation for 6PM.

I left office with another colleague at around 5.50PM. We were late since we had something to finish off first before we can go off from office. When we reached, we were like 20 minutes late and they took in another customer. So I waited while my colleague went for her foot massage.

10 minutes later, it was my turn to go into the small tiny room. Richard told me earlier that they will provide towels and shorts but I end up stripping down to my underpants with a towel over it. Then it began!

I enjoy getting a good massages and I’ve been for foot reflexology quite a number of times already but this time its totally different. First time I ever stripped almost buttnaked and getting a good rub on the back! The masseur was a chinese lady from China. She’s good…I mean real good! Ok…there’s strictly no hanky-panky as I’m there for a good back rub….NOTHING ELSE!

She started with my back and instantly she knows what’s wrong with me and which part of my body is aching. Being a banana, I only know speak very simple mandarin and communication with her is not really that easy but somehow I managed to convey my message across and she knows where to put on her magic. The masseur said that I’m suffering from bad case of ‘wind’ on my back and I’m always feeling sick and tired all the time. That is soo sooooo true! Hmm..maybe its because I’m not getting any sleep :p

She worked her magic down to my waist and it was really…really painful! I was in quite a pain at first and its only normal because she had to really knead and rub real hard to get rid of the ‘winds’ from my back. It was an hour long ordeal by a relieving one too. I paid a good RM50 for that and it’s all worth it to me. I felt so relieved after that I went back with big patch of bruises on my back.


Painful? Yeah but it’s quite a relief.

Are you a savvy driver?

I’ve been ranting quite abit lately and I surely not gonna stop now. Have you ever notice how people drives on the highway? Have you ever notice how YOU drive on a highway?

Yes, we all have funny driving behaviors whenever we hit the big road. I’m one for sure to hit atleast 110 km/h to make sure I get to my destination as soon as possible. But even though I’m driving considerably fast, I’m never quite fast enough for everyone else. Somehow there’s always a Satria or a Wira right behind my tail trying to overtake me on the speed lane… I was doing 120km/h… ok ok …gimme a break, I’m trying to overtake. But even though I was going fast at that speed, there’s always another car going faster than me…why why why?

I’ve been driving on the North South Highway quite often for the past 2 weeks. First was my trip down South to Singapore and then up North to Penang. I’ve told myself not to exceed more than 130km/h at any time and yes, I do keep to my speed limit because I had my auto-cruise mode on.

What’s more interesting is during my trip up to Penang. It started raining right after Bukit Gantang rest area and I had my headlights on. What surprised me was the amount of morons still having their hazard light (double signal) on when they’re moving and on the road. Look, for fucks sake…you can only use your hazard light when you car is parked stationary beside the road or when your car has broken down. If there’s a heavy rain, turn on your freaking headlights! Speaking of headlights, there’s also some idiots who never knew when to turn on their headlights. And these morons drive E240 and Cefiro Brougham. So if you have any elderly relatives who don’t know when to use their hazard light, please do everyone a favour and inform your relative.

Here are some driving tips I would like to share with everyone:

DOs

  1. Turn on your headlight when there’s a heavy downpour. This will increase visibility for you and for the oncoming traffic.
  2. Turn on your wiper when there’s a heavy downpour. Rainex don’t work with heavy rain.
  3. If driving in heavy rain is a problem for you. Pull your car aside and turn on your hazard light.
  4. Always use your signal light whenever you want to make a turn. Signal atleast 5 seconds before you make a turning and not immediately.
  5. Blow your car horn to warn vehicles around you and not to scare them.
  6. If you know your signal light is not working, flash your brake lights by stepping slightly on your brake a few times to get the attention of the vehicle behind you. Then make your turning swiftly.
  7. High light/High beam - only use them when you’re alone on a dark highway.
  8. High light/High beam - use them to warn the vehicle in front of you if you wish to overtake on the speed lane.
  9. High light/High beam - if you notice there’s a speed trap on the opposite traffic, beam your lights to the opposite traffics. This is not to prevent them from getting summons; it also prevents them from any speeding hazards.

DON’Ts

  1. Don’t drive without your headlights on. This will help you see better in the rain and also let other vehicles notice you.
  2. Don’t turn on your hazard light (double signal) when it rains heavily. Hazard lights are meant for stationary vehicles parked beside the road.
  3. Don’t cut into a speed lane without any signal.
  4. Don’t cut into any lanes without any signal.
  5. Don’t signal and turn immediately. Always signal atleast 3-5 seconds before you make any turning.
  6. Don’t blow your horn to irritate other drivers. Be considerate.
  7. High light/High beam - high beams can be quite blinding to the vehicle infront of you and to any oncoming traffic. Don’t use them when you don’t need them.
  8. High light/High beam - Don’t purposely tail another vehicle with your high beam on. This made lead to yet another road rage.
  9. High light/High beam - If you’re vehicle is fitted with HID lights, please please please try to avoid using high beams. HID alone is blinding enough.

Lastly, be a savvy driver and please be considerate when you’re on the road. Speeding and road hogging sucks! I bet Kerol with her new Bestari 206 would appreciate more savvy drivers like you on the road.

Camwhores at large

I just can’t stand it anymore. I hate camwhores! Worst is, I can’t stand camwhores who adored themselves so much they start calling themselve sissy names like “very important princess”, “da’cutest”, “Baby”, “Hottie” and …well, you get the idea.

As if camwhoring is not bad enough, why must a person go to the extend of shooting hundred or even thousands of photos (I’m not exaggerating, with digicams available easily to everyone, one can have that many photos) of herself/himself? It’s ok if those photos are in your personal stash, but noooooooo…these people can’t keep their photos to themselves! They have to show it to the world! Ok, if you’re gonna argue about me not having to look at their photos, well….the thing is…I can’t! Coz these goddamn photos are everywhere! Friendsters…blogs….MSN/Yahoo display!

Look people, camwhoring is as bad as calling yourself “cute”. Please, we don’t need to see you admiring yourself. We don’t need to see you in your tight jeans or panties (although some perverts out there are always hunting for it). And we definitely don’t need to know you’re calling yourself “Princess”.

WTF!!!!
