Better in Time. :)

Here's some random videos to share with you guys. Since I'm always watching videos or dramas online half the time, I know this isn't random at all. Anyway, I came across this unsigned duo on youtube who sing covers and they do it surprisingly well as a pair.
Here's Rin on the Rox singing I Hate This Part by Pussycat Dolls:
Halo by Beyonce:
If I Were A Boy by Beyonce:
I think they sing it way better than some of the original singers, probably because I really love how their harmonics comes together as a pair.
Anyway, the tanned girl on the left is Erin and the girl on the right in Roxanne. Both of them are Filipinos but Roxanne is half Filipino and White. By the way, if you can't identify the fact that they don't resemble each other at all, well, they're actually best friends and not twins.
They sing amazingly well and I do hope their talents are recognised soon. Click here for their youtube link if you wanna check out more videos.
Anyway, Chinese New Year this year is the most fruitful and happiest among all that I've spent over the years. Although it was really simple and there wasn't much visiting as usual, I had lots of fun during the two reunion dinners. One that took place a week earlier and another that took place on the day itself.
During the first day, I went down to the famous Guan Yin temple at Bugis with my mother and sister to pray for well-being in the New Year. It was packed like sardines but it was worth the wait. We went to Cineleisure and had dinner at Hong Kong Cafe (Luckily, I knew Alan and he gave us good seats!) before watching Love Matters. The show wasn't as nice as the rest of Jack Neo's movie I've seen. It was just average I suppose.
We reached home at around 1.30 am in the morning because we thought they'll be Night Rider that night but it slipped our mind that it was a Public Holiday and not a Public Holiday Eve. They should have Night Rider anyway since it was still a holiday the next day, but whatever.
The second day was spent at Grams house and after the visiting, we went home for steamboat cos' my brother and sister in law came over with my nephews!
During the rest of the week of Chinese New Year, my nephews came over to stay over for a period of 4-5 days and I had so much fun with them around. The best thing is that they're coming over to stay this week again! Yay!
I really love my life recently cos' it's really back on track. My body clock is getting better cos' I sleep earlier and wake up earlier. I no longer skip meals and I have breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday with fruits as well. I'm getting more and more obedient and I like to spend time with my family more. My self-discipline is getting better and I have plans for my day as well. I hope I can keep up with this! I know it's something really ordinary but sometimes, being ordinary is harder than you think. :)
Anyway, I've been doing facial masks recently and here's one of them recommended by the famous Taiwan variety show, Nu Ren Wo Zui Da. It's has a really cute name called, Wo De Mei Li Ri Ji. My sister bought it online and she shared some of it with me. She bought some bird nest facial essence mask recently and I've used it as well. The aftermath is slightly stickier than Wo De Mei Li Ri Ji, but it's still good cos' it whitens and brightens my complexion. :)
I seriously don't give a damn whether do I look horrendous here.
Anyway, for more pictures, check out Facebook cos' I won't be uploading them here anymore. :)
We're driving slow
Through the snow
On fifth avenue
And right now radio's
All that we can hear
Now we ain't talked since we left
It's so overdue
It's cold outside
But between us its worse in here
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know this is the part
Where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
Everyday seven takes of the same old scene
Seems we're bound by the laws of the same routine
Gotta talk to you now fore we go to sleep
But will we sleep once I tell you what's hurting me
The world slows down
But my heart beats fast right now
I know (i know) this is (this is) the part where the end starts
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through my fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take your tears
I hate this part right here
I know you'll ask me to hold on
And carry on like nothings wrong
But there is no more time for lies
Cause I see sunset in your eyes
I can't take it any longer
Thought that we were stronger
All we do is linger
Slipping through our fingers
I don't want to try now
All that's lefts goodbye to
Find a way that I can tell you
But I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I hate this part
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
I gotta do it
Oh
I hate this part right here
I hate this part right here
I just can't take these tears
I hate this part right here
And I'm really beginning to fall for this song right here.
Hello people, I'm back with a little something to share.
I chanced upon this Swedish indie singer, Lykke Li, who has a set of really unique vocals. Personally, I like her vocals cos' I haven't heard such unique vocals from singers in a long long time. Singers this days doesn't seem to have striking vocals and there's something special about hers. Her voice seems as light as a feather yet we can all hear that her singing foundation is strong. I like her pronunciation when it comes to the lyrics as well, probably due to her accent?
Her music is what people would describe as "arty farty" but actually it's more like a fusion of soul, electronics and "powdered-sugar pop". I like the way she makes use of electronics in her songs and yet, they still sound so groovy. She reminds me of Lily Allen and Feist. To me, there's something special in their songs that makes them different from the rest.
Lykke Li's music videos are really interesting as well. There's always people doing vigorous and sudden movements (some are even like spasms) and they always go in tune with her songs. Some are even robotic and mechanical, probably due to the frequent usage of electronics in her songs I suppose?
Check it out below.
With Sarah Assbring of El Perro Del Mar as well! El Perro Del Mar means sea dog in Spanish and it's a musical project. Anyway, this videos are lovely! Especially Lykke and Sarah's harmonizing parts. I find those really pleasing to the ears. I think they're a perfect combination. (:
Can you imagine all this are done live on the streets? Amazing right?
And yes I had fun in Taiwan/HK and I'll update about the trip soon. I'll have to upload the photos first. There's lots of them. I think I took close to a thousand pictures. Haha!
Yay! The weekends are here once more. (:
Reassurance is a form of lie before the tragedy strikes.
My right eye is sore right now and it's swelling a little right now. Kinda hurts man. I think I'll have to stop rubbing my eyes that much. Every time when I remove my lenses and when I'm cleansing my face, I'll start rubbing my eyes continuously and it'll turned bloody red. This is bad man! ):
I'll have to start taking care of my eyes.
Speaking of which, I realised that some of my friends love to buy their lenses online. Cynthia was showing a link for a blog shop that sells such cheap lenses and they have a pretty decent collection. But then, the lenses are being priced at $21 per pair and they can last for a year!
Seems like a good deal, I know. A pair of lenses being priced at $21 and they can last a year? Seems like too much of a good deal to me. But don't you think it's a little risky for our eyes? What if they're cheap imitation lenses from Taiwan/China? From what I know, yearly lenses cost around $100 for a year here in Singapore.
I still think it's safer for us to get lenses locally cos' you'll never know what happens. Furthermore, we only have a pair of eyes!
I don't mind getting clothes, shoes and accessories online but lenses, I'm still a little jittery about it.
Recently, I've been staying indoors pretty much. Been cooping myself in my own room and watching lots of Japanese dramas. I've finished Hana Kimi and now I'm watching Hana Yori Dango 1 & 2!
Why you may ask?
It all happened on a fateful day, when Cynthia, Ronn and me caught this movie called Hana Yori Dango - Final!
Yes, you must have seen this poster somewhere on the big billboards over at Cineleisure or something.
This is none other than the highly anticipated "Meteor Garden" from Japan! Yes! F4!
By right, I should be damn into the main character, Domyouji Tsukasa (Aka Dao Ming Si) since I was so into Jerry Yan's character in Meteor Garden during my secondary school years! If you don't know, I used to love Jerry Yan from F4 and it all started from his character, "Dao Ming Si" in Meteor Garden.
Then, I realised that my admiration for an actor is not because of the role he plays but from the actors themselves!
I used to love Jerry Yan cos' to me, he's the most good looking one in F4. And for Hana Yori Dango, it would be none other than ...
He's totally like a prince charming (You know, those that rides on white horses, wearing ALL white?) and yes yes, he captivated me with his gorgeous looks! He's really good looking to me (Cynthia said he has weird lips that looks like a monkey but I find it alright! I do find it weird when he smiles though.) and I love his ever changing looks!
He can look like a handsome prince charming in Hana Yori Dango.
and yet look perfectly manly in Hana Kimi!
I think he looks like Jerry Yan in this one. I have totally no idea why.
Anyway, he's like BOYISH, PRINCE-LIKE, HOT and MANLY all combined into one! I prefer his boyish and prince-like look though. The one you'll see in Hana Yori Dango!
Can you imagine if he's your boyfriend?
Let's say you want a boyish and prince-like image from your boyfriend today and he can simply dye his hair brown/blond and dress up in a white suit to take you out for the day to satisfy your needs.
Need a hot and hunky man for security today? Don't worry, he'll dye his hair back to black and shove his abs and chest right in your face.
That's how good I picture him to be.
So damn versatile with his ever changing looks and what's more to add? He has stunning looks in the first place already!
Guess what? Life is still the same as usual. Yeah, you should know what I mean. If you don't, then forget it cos' I don't intend to repeat.
Anyway, on a happier note, Derrick Hoh Wei Jian, my all time favourite project superstar contestant (from the first series) has released his album after three long years!
Remember him?
I used to be so obsessed with him, how can I ever forget? Gone were those days when I scribbled his name and the songs that he sang before on the back of my full scape paper during my secondary school years. I can even remember one of my classmates, How Kiat used that to rub against his *ahem* private parts to spite me. Grr. What an idiot.
But to tell you the truth, it's been so long that he has been in army, I thought he has disappeared from the limelight. The passion and love I use to have for him kinda dwindled for him as well. I don't feel that much LOVE like how I used to feel to be frank. Joining fanclubs and finding information online about him kinda faded as well. I think I'm turning old. ):
But he's still as cute as ever though!
I'm still contemplating whether should I get the album or not though. I don't wanna just chuck it aside like how I did for the project superstar compilation that I got because of him. Really a waste man, but it was all because of infatuation back then. I'll just check out the songs online first before deciding. Give it a little preview first! (;
And I seriously have no kick to blog today. Just posting this randomly.
Hello there. People knows me by the name of Yeh Ying but I have another name and it's Ariel. I named myself that when I was in Primary Three 'cos I fell
in love with Disney's The Little Mermaid. I reside in a little sunny island which is a dot on the world map. I'm enjoying the last of my teenage years before I turn into a witch on my next birthday.
Luckily, I'm blessed with a caring family, understanding friends and a loving boyfriend, so I guess life isn't that bad to me after all. :)
Here's some random videos to share with you guys. Since I'm always watching videos or dramas online half the time, I know this isn't random at all. Anyway, I came across this unsigned duo on youtube who sing covers and they do it surprisingly well as a pair.
