Brit Pop

People,

The Brits have always come out with good music:

-The Beatles
-The Kooks
-Queen
-Simply Red
-Sex Pistols........the list goes on.........

Now, check out their latest import, Lily Allen. Her music is unlike anything i've heard....a bit hip hoppy..in a nice kind of way, a bit bluesy, a bit of pop........with bloody good lyrics(not to mention the brit accent as well). Totally recommend you check out two of her songs here:

'Alfie' by Lily Allen
[download it here]

Ooooo deary me,
My little brother's in his bedroom smoking weed,
I tell him he should get up cause it's nearly half past three.
He can't be bothered 'cause he's high on THC.
I ask him very nicely if he'd like a cup of tea,
I can't even see him cause his room is so smokey,
Don't understand how one can watch so much TV,
My baby brother Alfie how I wish that you could see.

Chorus
Oooooo I only say it 'cause I care,
So please can you stop pulling my hair.
Now, now there's no need to swear,
Please don't despair my dear Mon frere.

Ooooo Alfie get up it's a brand new day,
I just can't sit back and watch you waste your life away.
You need to get a job because the bills need to get paid.
Get off your lazy arse,
Alfie please use your brain.
Surely there's some walls out there that you can go and spray,
I'm feeling guilty (guiltier??) for leading you astray,
Now how the hell do you ever expect that you'll get laid,
When all you do is stay and play on your computer games?

Chorus

Oh little brother please refrain from doing that,
I'm trying to help you out so can you stop being a twat.
It's time that you and I sat down and had a little chat,
And look me in the eyes take off that stupid fitted cap.

Chorus

Please don't despair
Please don't despair
No more fair (??)

'Friday Nights' by Lily Allen
[download it here]

Ooooooooooo
Ooooooooooo

Friday night last orders at the pub,
Get in the car and drive to the club,
There's a massive crowd outside so we get in to the queue
It's quarter past 11 now we won't get in till quarter to.

It's quarter to and we get to the front,
Girl on a guest list dressed like a c***
She asked security to check in my shoes,
You can play this game with me but you know you're gonna lose.

Hook
Looked me up and down,
I don't make a sound,
There's a lesson that I want you to learn,
If you're gonna play with fire then you're gonna get burned,

Chorus
Don't try and test me cos you'll get reaction,
Another drink and I'm ready for action,
I don't know who you think you are,
But making people scared wont get you very far.

Ooooooooooooo
Ooooooooooooo

In the club make our way to the bar,
Good dancing love but you should of worn a bra.
Guy on the mike and he's making too much noise,
There's these girls in the corner wanting attention from the boys.

I see these girls and they're shouting through the crowd,
Don't understand why they're being really loud.
They make their way over to me,
They try to push me out the way,
I'll push her back, she looks at me and says,
What you tryna say?

Hook
Chorus x2

Oooooooooooooo

Cheers Mates!

Interior Designer?

This is kinda random.........

Right, my room here has a pretty good view. Just open the door, and you get a fabulous view of the forest on the border of the campus. The room however can get a little depressing if you happen to spend heck a lot of time in it..........i dunno why, but somehow, tubelights always give any room that depressing look and feel.

Did three changes to my room to preserve my sanity.

-bought a floor lamp cum a study lamp from IKEA
-bought a nice blue rug from IKEA
-stuck posters on the walls


Now, people walking by my room at night can always see into it as i love leaving the door wide open to enjoy the view as i work and to have the cool forest air blowing into the room.

Three seniors on different occasions actually stopped and gave the room a second look before spitting out:

'waaaah, so cosy one. How much did it cost you ar?'
'err....less than 25 sing dollars, posters were free'
'wala, nice effect'
'easy ma, just let the light bounce off the table and softly illuminate the room, you will get the cosy effect'
'must try'


Interior designing? Heck, why not?

Morons in Parliament

Have to thank Shal for the email with the link to this. Right, will assume that you have watched the vid before reading further. If you haven't, don't waste your time reading, cos you prbably won't understand the issue here.

Done watching?

We have morons in Parliament. No doubt about that. Right, its an accepted thing in society i think, as every nation does have its own share of monkeys.....pardon....politicians, whom waste our money and time bullshitting in an air-conditioned room (the elctricity bills are being paid by us too by the way), not to mention happily reliving their kindergarten years in pin-striped suits and white blouses while we sweat it out cracking out our heads in uni and then entering the rat race out in the working world.

Right, again, its not the racial issue here. Lets be mature and face facts here. Every society has its share of racists and the possibility of these...individuals....being voted into power is still very much high. Racism is a built in instinct in us all. Humans like all mammals have the tendency to segregate into seperate groups with general traits to which the members could relate. Which feature of us is any more distinctive than the colour of our skin?
I frankly have taken up the personal policy of turning a deaf ear to racist remarks made in my prescence...its not worth the energy to comment and make a point. Hell, if you are immature enough to not be able to look beyond external appearences, screw it and continue to live in your sadly narrow minded world mate. But don't you dare go any further than comments, anything physical or a straight and direct verbal asssault , you're a dead dead dude....if you do happen to be a female, prepare to receive the worst dressing down in your life, and i will waste my precious energy to make you feel like crap...without shouting.

Right, the person who started the whole thing was a moron, but lets look beyond that. WHY THE FUCK SHOULD EVERYONE REACT SO EMOTIONALLY? I mean people..you guys are adults, you could just make a point to the chairperson and get on with life. We do have more pressing issues to discuss, and your petty differences? Settle it over beer and lunch for fuck's sake. It fucking strikes me odd this issue. Why the fuck can't adults just talk things over calmly and openly? When they have problems with each other, it goes extreme ways. Silently not acknowledging the issue and avoiding it, or shouting like kids as demonstrated. So, he happens to be a fucked up racist. You god well know society is screwed up like that. Talk about it later and get on with your fucked up job..... which you people happen to suck at too.

We freaking need better roads, we need druggies off our streets, we need a bloody integrated public transport system, and i bloody hell want to feel safe walking the streets at 1 or 2 am like i do regularly here in Singapore. Here, i see cops within the campus and in the most secluded part of the campus at 11pm , the time i like going jogging, and hell, i can run carefree, with metallica blasting in my ears without worrying about getting mugged.

TALK AND SHOUT ABOUT STUFF LIKE THESE. Not your fucked up petty issues. The more you people waste time in that air condidtioned building, the more money we shell out in paying the damn bills keeping you comfortable in the 16 degree cooled room, without getting a rebate for it. IT SUCKS YOU KNOW.
