On Hiatus

Initially, I wanted to enter my entries about my trip. But somethings happened today that made me totally no mood. I began to question my purpose of writing blogs... So I guess before I get my mood, emotions and mindset sort out, I think I will not have another entry.

Do take care yah?

When I say this, I don't mean it as a "linko". I truly mean it! Just like I always sincerely say a Thank You and Sorry.

Finally, thank you those who pop in to this rather mundane, uneventful blog to past time. If this blog had not made you know Peirong better, there are at least 2 things I hope you can know about Peirong.

I am a person who mean every word I say, I do not know how to praise someone unless I truly think that person deserves it.
I am a person who's behaviours and inner-thoughts work hand in hand. I do not pretend to be friendly with a person I dislike. My behaviours sometimes maybe exaggerated, but none of it is made-up. All are real.

These had been the moto of my life, It hasn't change in the past, nor in the present. I hope it will not change in the past as well.

ByeBye~

I AM BACK @_@!

YO PPL!! How's everybody? I am finally back!! So excited!!! I had never been so eager to end an overseas trips like this before! And I have never imagine myself to miss Singapore so dearly~~

However, this 11 days trip (my longest so far) really did allow me to 大开眼界！

For the next few entries (which I will only start tmr...), please allow me to record down my journey in detail yah? I need this to be a record/memory of my life in the future. If anyone interested, can just take a look, if not, just bear with me ba....

I am very tired now~ My eyes are like the 国宝 of the country I went ah~ Think not only my eyes, my body oso..... sian ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ must really go 减 abit of 肥 1st before my camp next week! If not cannot 见人啊~~~

And believe me all my friends >> I MISSED YOU GUYS!!!!

Just to say Hi

Hi ppl!!! How's my blog? Surviving well?? For some reasons (which i dunno wat), I am not able to access to my blog (and all other blogs). So I cannot check out the situation.. Sianz......

Anyway, I will be back on Sunday 19th June... And when I am back, I am going to write 11 entries in one shot!!!!!! All about my trip in China and HK...

敬请期待 yah??

Inter-personal Skills are REALLY IMPORTANT

For the past 2 days, I had been in school doing camp dry runs. For those who did not know, this camp's preparation is even more stressful than my exams... I had never imagine it to be this way. I always thought camps are supposed to be fun and laughter. To distress rather then to BE STRESS!! The reason I wanted be the organising commitee is because I saw how the ppl from last yr enjoyed themselves. But why THIS YEAR LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!????????????

As I do not know who will be reading this, I better not write it too discreetly. I do not want to hurt anybody.... I am just expressing how I feel about this whole thing.

From a friend of mine, last yr's camp OC were all fine with each other, no politics no arguments. Everything was peaceful. Why issit that it become like that this year?? Wrong people holding wrong positions?? probably ba........

Being in the "major" post, Yes! you need to be alert, you need to be make sure everything is in place. But seriously, that's not all!!! The challenge for being in "major" post is always the handling of relationships with other people!!! Inter-personal skills is EXTREMELY impt when it comes to "major" posts. Because when u are UP there, it means there are people Down as well. What you need are those people DOWN there in order to make things work and to achieve your goals! What's the point of having all the Big, Fancy, Idealistic pictures in mind when you cannot communicate properly with those DOWN there??? You think you will be able to achieve them??
You will just FAIL in everything you do!

Maybe you guys will think that "easier said than done"! I admit! Its difficult! Hence, not all are capable to be in position UP there. I admit I cannot be in positions like that as well. I know myself. Perhaps there are many people who are there dreaming of being UP there, because they like the feeling of being more superior, have all the confidence in the world to BELIEVE that they can achieve all the non-achievables or they BELIEVE that they will be in good relationships with EVERYBODY because they USUALLY get-along well with people.

Lastly, I just wanna say that admitting your mistakes is good, but its not ALL! Admitting must come with amending! What's the point of saying "yes, yes, yes I know I am wrong" but not doing anything? Are you being sincere? Or are you just admitting for the sake of admitting, but still holds high ego?

To all those who are reading, I am sure the above situations can be seen in everybody's life. I sincerely hope that everyone will one day master the skills of relationships-building and everyone will live peacefully with one another.

Final Words: This will probably be the last entry till I come back from China. Unless something impactful happen tmr. (I hope not)
To all my "faithful" readers, thank you for your support. To all my friends, thank you for taking time off to understand me better. Till my nx entry, Take care :p

My Jobs

Yo Ppl! Hows life yah? Did not have an entry yesterday cos I was home late... So shall only do it today... Nope, I am not giving my reviews for CD 3. As the title suggest, its about my jobS!!

Till date, I had already declined 3 job offers because of my trip to China. I am really quite sad about that. Cos No Job = No $$!!! And I need $$ desperately for my Taiwan trip at the end of the yr!!

But thank GOD, I still manage to get 2 part-time jobs. These 2 jobs are basically "free-lance". meaning, they are not fixed. Depending on the demand of the "market"...

1st of all, as most of you might know, I am working as a waitress. Average of 2 days per week. (by right is 3 days but I have to go for church) And the pay is $7 per hr. Its only at night. Although from this job, the $$ I get is quite little, but I thought its a very flexible job. It does not hinder my programs of meeting friends or my camp stuff. And of course, like what I posted some time ago, it really help train me up. Especially in terms of anger management and patience.

What many may not know is that my auntie actually works as a purchasing manager for the restaurant I work in. And it is also this reason, I enjoyed working there. Although I do not get to see my auntie at all during work, I felt being taken care off over there. And probably because of my auntie, the supervisor and hall managers there do not treat me like they would towards most others. I am not saying that I enjoy the "privileges", I still work as hard as the others, try not to make mistakes. But I can't help saying that luckily my auntie works there, if not I will get more 冤枉 scoldings like the others.

My the other job is a intepreter job. Its also free lance. When the company has got Japanese clients then they will call me up. Its $15 per hr + $10 transportation. I believe its a very low rate. But that's because I am still not confident in my Japanese... So dare not charge too high.

Both of these are jobs I enjoyed very much though they are very irregular~ However, I would be most happy to take up these jobs as part-time in the future, after I got a permanent job. Afterall to get a job you truly enjoyed and at the same time not having to worry about money not enough is not easy...

Clarification

Hmm~ This is to clarify about my previous 2 entries... They are actually more than Reviews lah... I added alot of personal opinions in... Cos this is a blog mah.. so if I make it too formal, its weird... Lastly, Hope you guys enjoyed my entries.. And will be tempted to go listen to this Concert CD!!! Can ask me to send you! haha.. most willing!! Or can get it at $17.90 at Visma which is located in Pearl Centre (beside Outram Mrt) ;)

当我们混在一起 Live全纪录 CD 2

OK!! Now is my review for the 2nd CD of Final Home Concert. For those who did not notice, I actually amended my previous entry. Cos after listening to the CD again, I realised that I missed out some stuff!!!

19. 超人: This song reminded me of their performance at NKF. Although this one is much nicer and better performed, the way of singing is quite similar I thought. The part where Ashin goes "whoa~whoa~" really got Power!!!

20. 疯狂世界: This is a soft rock version. When I first heard the piano intro, I thought it is going to be like the one in NYQNL concert. Ashin sang in the same slow style. Just like NYQNL, he held his breathe for the "疯狂的世界~~~" but this time was shorter. Den suddenly when the drums and everything came in, I realised it was yet another different arrangement! ITS REALLY NICE!!!!!!!!!! I especially like the part where Ashin goes "我~~~好想好想飞 " The drum will start to crescendo!!!! WAH~~ Its like bringing it to a totally GRAND~~ feel!!! Also, this song is the beginning of the 感动 for this CD. The lyrics is already very sad. And now with this arrangement, its totally hai~ I dunno how to say....

21. HoSee : The intro has lots of bombing sound here and there. It made this whole song sounded like those Heavy Metal Rock. hmm.... Though I came to like Rock music, I still cannot accept Heavy Metal... I find them too noisy le...

22. Tears For Fears : This is basically a number for Guai Shou and Stone to show off their guitar skills! Its nice!!!

23. The Heart Beat Of 反击: This is the drums performance they had in NKF. Just that they were not hung in mid air... but the drums really very power. It set as a good extra long intro to the next song.

24. 晚安　地球人: This is the song with lots of different drums. Its almost the same as the album version. Not much different. But Ashin did sang in a different fashion. Especially the part "一页页地翻~" The word 翻, he sang with 假音, and only this word. Although he did not go off key or what, just that I felt there is no continuity. Den sounded a bit weird.

25. 这个世界: This is not their composition. But Ashin sang it equally well!!! This song has what I meant by continuity. The last part. He sang a phrase in 假音 and I thought it was more appropriate than the previous one word. This song has very touching lyrics, very encouraging as well. I can picture in my mind during that time, the whole stadium was filled with 仙女棒. And their gesture of donating NT 1 million to the victims of the tsunami.

26. 拥抱＋相信: Oh man~~~ I really love 相信!!!! never fail to wet my eyes....hmm... the 拥抱 ah.. did I ever mention that I dun really like this song?? its arrangement is almost the same as TKZC. But I thought the transition of these 2 songs was nicely done!! quite 自然。

27. 神的孩子都混在一起： I dunno what was the instrument used in the intro. It sounded like flute but I am not sure... The intro was nicely followed by "神的孩子都跳舞". The melody in their latest album!!! SUPER NICE!!!! I love the drums part! If I am not wrong, they included the timpani! Gives the whole thing a very GRAND sound. The one in the album is more like simple and sweet and innocent. But this is like a fanfare!!! Its amazing how wonderfully they managed to rearrange all their music so nicely. Its very different from the original but yet its seldom less nice. They are really Genius!!!! The part where the sang "当我们同在一起" was cool! I did not imagine this melody can actually be linked to this song. Another part that distracted me alot was the audience's screaming and shouting! Everytime they suddenly gave a loud roar, I get very anxious. I went like "WHAT WHAT WHAT!!! WHAT DID THEY DO??" damn.... I wasn't there, cannot see............................

28. 小护士: This is totally cool loh~~~ I just kept doing the dance moves loh... Thanks to 050505 outing that I finally managed to memorise the whole dance steps! VERY HIGH song!!! Can you imagine a crowd of 40,000 doing this same dance together??? I can!!!!!!!!!!! And I know we are all going to do the same when they come here the nx time!!!!

29. 人生海海: I din manage to find out what song this is just by listening to the intro. The intro was sang together by the audience. Den when the instruments came in, then I realised it was RSHH. SHIOK ah!!! you can hear the audience very very clearly!!! Everybody just sing together with Ashin. This is one song that will brings great encouragement!!! Like what weiting said, whenever you are troubled, just blast this song! And everything will somehow be fine! Its true loh... cos 潮落之后一定有潮起！！！ Like what Ashin said, they were suprised that this is the song that the audience sang loudest during this Final Home concert! I was thinking right, apart from the "greatness" of this song, I guess its because this song is easy to sing ba.... Look at all the fast songs, everybody will be like jumping up and down, who will have breathe to sing? And for the slow songs, somehow the key is difficult for girls to sing ba... okok i know quite crappy.. hee...

30. Enrich Your Life 让我照顾你: By right,让我照顾你 is my Favourite song in their latest album. But why issit they must include the "enrich your life~"??????? I hate it!!!!!!!!!!! Its so commercialised!!! i understand that the whatever bank is the sponsor, but........ HAI~~~~ I really wish that they will just sing the original version!!! You can hear also the audience sang "坐在我身旁 你的心伤 不懂 我也不想 但你的眼泪 下在我心脏" But Ashin just sang the other version, I got so disappointed~~ Seriously, I really hope they will sing 让我照顾你 in the Singapore concert. But~ If they are going to sing Enrich your life, I would rather they dun sing.....

31. 心中无别人: erm.... no comment about this song. Everything is almost the same as per normal. Except for Ashin saying "讲啥" at the chorus.

32. 约翰蓝侬: Another High song!!! haha... but I thought the arrangement was not much different from what they usually sing... But I like the part where Ashin recite "怪兽， 石头 and OK 再来! " rather than sing out...

33. 垃圾车朋友版: Before this song begins, Ashin said some stuff. Thanking all the staff, crew and the audience. A very 感性 speech!! This is when water came falling from my eyes lah....
And suddenly Guai Shou, Stone and everyone join in saying "是你！ 是你！你！你！...." After that, they sang together without music "有你　我才未孤单　有你的陪伴　我才有靠山 　你若欢喜　我是你的垃圾车　每天......" Then suddenly Guan you asked in a sneaky manner "是唱高的还是唱低的？" Then the rest were like "当然是高的！！！" haha... this part quite funny... dunno whether was it intentional, its just funny!!! Then all these was followed by silence. Guan You den sings "为你唱歌" all by himself!!! Then the whole song start proper!! Oh my goodness!!!!!! I just cry and cry loh..... Really reminded about my friends. Hereby I wanna thank all my friends for being my 垃圾车.

34. 憨人: This is yet another touching and encouraging song!!!! Ashin started off singing "我的心内感觉 人生的沉重 不敢来振动 我不是好子 嘛不是歹人 我只是爱眠梦 " in a slow manner. Then he followed by saying "人如果没有梦想，就跟咸鱼一样。 纵然咸鱼翻身，还是咸鱼。" At this point, I really dunno whether to laugh or cry.... But when he continued saying "我还要做梦， 我还要做梦" I just cannot control my tears again le.... den the song just start proper!!! I tell you~~ the ending of this song is just as magnificient and as 震撼 as the beginning!!! Especially the "la~ lala la~" where all the audience will sing together!!! Ashin said "大声一点， 换你！ 换你！ 最后一次！！" in his very very GUSTO voice!!!! I am totally in love with this voice loh!!!!!
I tell you~~ I will slap anybody's face if I ever hear them saying that Ashin's voice no power!!!!

That's all for CD 2.. I have yet to listen to CD 3... I will give my reviews again... But in all, their concert is always full of suprises!!! The arrangement, the different style each songs had been performed... I just loved it when they sang songs in a different melody from the original!!! This really goes to show all the talents loh.... But of course not anyhow 改 lah... THIS is what I call CONCERT!!! Not just dancing, 对嘴, sing all the songs just the way they were in albums... So weiting, now you know why issit that I kept complaining "you-know-who's " concert is boring???

当我们混在一起 Live全纪录 (amended)

OK!! After careful listening, I am now going to do a detailed review for this CD!!!! :D

01. Intro : I think its COOL!!! It really din sound like guitar... And I can totally imagine Guai Shou coming down from the cloud seat playing that!! haha... ncie melody oso!!!

02. 孙悟空+放手: The 1st part I thought the arrangement was almost exactly like the album! But of course its cool to hear Ashin live!! The 2nd part is cool as well!!! Ashin sang it so nicely that it is better than E*****

03. 终结孤单: This song is forever so HIGH~ haha... can always keep the mood up!!! I like the "HEY HEY HEY" part.. Stone's voice really dun sound like him!! And I thought the counting of the beat "1, 2, 3, 4 part" abit funny...

04. 圣诞夜惊魂: It was slow in the beginning! With the rest singing as well! not only Ashin!!! Its really NICE!!! Its like some choir performance cos got lots of harmonizing! Really sounds like snowing and Xmas is really round the corner! Then the fast part that follows, DAMN HIGH!!!!! you will feel like jumping up and down with them!!

05. OK啦: The transition from the previous to this one is very nicely done!! haha... will do the OK la sign when they sing!! haaha....... The Trumpet is forever so distinctive!

06. 叫我第一名: This one is another HIGH number!!! I like the part where Ashin kept quiet and let the fans sing "叫我第一名"!!! Wah~~~ I was really like Shouting n Screaming with them as well!!!!

07. Talking Of Mayday: This is a self-intro of each members! Just like the usual lah... All of them said a small verse of greetings. But I especially like what Ashin said :欢迎大家来到 Final Home， 欢迎大家回到 Final Home。

08. 燕尾蝶: They had a longer intro than the Fish's version. Ashin sang it in a very different manner. Its less 激昂。Still like it!!! As expected! Its SO much nicer than Fish's version... just like ting bu dao. (I am not being bias ah...)

09. 爱情万岁＋脱掉: Hmm... I nv like 爱情万岁 cos its like too RA.. .But I like this arrangement!!! The Drums is SUPER NICE!!! got Power! rhythm is very strong oso!!! But~~ The 2nd part is like..... erm.... the transition is very weird... i dun like... sounds very 勉强。and the "nanananana" part is very dead... no energy at all...

10. 时光机: What can I say man??? My all time Favourite slow song... So touching!!!! The lyrics, the melody and the arrangement! But I kind of find it strange. How come they sing this song? Its neither 主打歌 nor a BIG hit. I still remember the other time I heard it on another concert and felt very disappointed... Cos it really din sound nice at all!! But this time, Ashin really improved!!! It wasn't like perfect, but its much nicer! I am still desperately looking for the piano scores of this song.... :(

11. 轻功: hmm.. This song is totally weird..... When I first heard it, I still thought something wrong with my CD or something wrong with the recording... Its like those trance music. Lots of computer stuff loh... very mechanical... I already dun really like this song le..... now, it got worse..

12. 赌神: Another very high song!!!! Will definitely think of the very funny yet stylish MTV.. haha....Very impressed by Ashin! cos this song really is a very diff song!!! All the words are like join together one......

13. 恒星的恒心: I really start to like this more and more le... I still remember how I used to just skip this song.. haha.... But I really think the slow version better....

14. I Love You 无望: The song that almost made me melt when I heard it for the 1st time on TKZC concert cd... Very very touching!!! Though arrangement is different everytime, all are nice... though I personally like the one at TKZC the best.

15. 武装: When I heard the intro, I totally cannot figure out what song is this!!!! The intro sounds very Jolin Tsai. Was like some kind of ballet music... But when Ashin goes "我忘了珍惜" I burst out laughing!!! wahahaha... damn funny!!!!!! Its like 武装 in CHA-CHA version!! haha... nx time those aunties wanna dance CHA CHA, can use this version!!!! wahahaha.... But I still LIKE!!! Very cute!!! WRONG WRONG!! Paiseh people, got it wrong!! When Ashin goes "我忘了珍惜", I still find it VERY NICE!!! Its got Power!!! But when the "最后我开始武装自己" I just go "WAHAHAHAHAHA~" den cannot stop le... It really so CHA CHA!!!

16. 一颗苹果: This version is very different from others! Its slower.. VERY NICE!!!! This got more melody into it... Though the usual one's rhythm is stronger. Like other songs, Ashin sang this not according to the main melody but the counter melody!!! But I think he sang more!! I especially like the last verse! Its almost totally different from the original!! LOVE IT!!

17. 而我知道: Hmm.. This song's intro is different from the original one. Dun have the guitar solo... But overall its still very similar lah...

18. 回来吧: This version is acoustic!!!!!!! I nv knew that This can be THAT nice on acoustic!!!! I shall try harder on playing my guitar!!! haha... so happy!!

Ok lah~~ That's all for today! The review of the nx CD will be done tmr!!! Sorry for being so long-winded!! haha... I really hope you guys will just go try and listen to this CD. Its really very nice and 感动。The 2nd disc is The ULTIMATE!!! I really cried while listening loh...... I cannot believe as well... I really din expect such things to happen........ hai~~~
