五月天 - 伤心的人别听慢歌（贯彻快乐）
词：阿信
曲：阿信

你哭的太累了你伤的太深了
你爱的太傻了
你哭的就像 是末日 要来了
OH～
所以你听慢歌很慢很慢的歌
听得心如刀割
是不是应该 换一种 节奏了
OH～
不要再问 谁是对的谁是错的
谁是谁非谁又亏欠谁了
反正错了反正输了反正自己陪自己快乐
我不管你是谁的谁是你的我是我的
让心跳动次动次动次动次感觉活着
我不管站着坐着躺着趴着都要快乐
让音乐动次动次动次动次快要聋了
不管了不想了不等了不要不快乐
伤心的人别听慢歌

人生分分合合爱情拉拉扯扯
一路曲曲折折
我还是期待 明日的 新景色
OH～
愤青都释怀了光棍都恋爱了
悲剧都圆满了
每一段争执 都飞出 和平鸽
OH～
不要再问 谁是对的谁是错的
谁是谁非谁又亏欠谁了
反正错了反正输了反正自己陪自己快乐
我不管你是谁的谁是你的我是我的
让心跳动次动次动次动次感觉活着
我不管站着坐着躺着趴着都要快乐
让音乐动次动次动次动次快要聋了
不管了不想了不等了不要不快乐
伤心的人别听慢歌

我不管你是谁的谁是你的我是我的
让心跳动次动次动次动次感觉活着
我不管站着坐着躺着趴着都要快乐
让音乐动次动次动次动次快要聋了
不管了不想了不等了此时和此刻
不得不去贯彻快乐
不管了不想了不等了不要不快乐
伤心的人别听慢歌

Tong Lok Kway Chap

The hubby brought me to this small coffeeshop at the corner of a Pepys Road, at Pasir Panjang, for kway chap breakfast. The coffeeshop looks like any other coffeeshop, with a few stalls and not very crowded, though the hubby told me that the kway chap shop is sold out by 2 in the afternoon.

He ordered a two-person portion, with two bowls of kway for $9.00. The plate of ingredients include lor bah (braised pork belly), fish cake, pig intestines, salted vegetables, tau pok (dried beancurd) and tau ki (dried beancurd skin).

Lots of varieties in this yummilicious plate 

I like the lor bah, very soft and taste very nice with the sauce. The salted vegetables is also very nice, not too salty, just nice for me. The whole plate taste very homely, homecooked. I only find the plate of yummy ingredients a little too salty, maybe because of the sauce.

The kway is very thinly sliced and easy to eat. The soup is quite tasty. The warmness of the kway and soup warms my stomach, I like that feeling.

And come to think of it, there's no peanut or eggs. haha.. No wonder I feel like there is something missing from this meal.

By the way, we feel the drinks are considerably cheap for a standalone coffeeshop.

Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies - #3 The Frog Prince

Today is the launch of the third Hello Kitty The Frog Prince from the Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies.

I've gotten mine after visiting two different McDonalds. The McDonalds website kinda lied to us that the outlet at Trade Hub 21 is opened 24hours. But when we were there, the notice put up told us a different story. They are only opened from 11am to 8pm. Maybe it's time for them to update accurate information on their website. And we were not the only ones cheated of our time.

But in the end, we found our Frog Prince. And they didn't provide curry sauce for my nuggets or any sauce for everything... sighs...

And here's our frog prince

The plushies are available at $4.60 each with any Extra Value Meal purchased. Different Hello Kitty Fairy Tales plushies are for sale each week.

• Wizard of Oz (30 May to 5 June) Sold Out
• Little Red Riding Hood (6 June to 12 June) Sold Out
• The Frog Prince (13 June to 19 June) Available This Week!
• The Ugly Duckling (20 June to 26 June) 
• The Singing Bone - Limited Edition (27 June to 3 July) 
• Special McDelivery Hello Kiity – (Available 30 May onwards and via McDelivery ONLY) Sold Out

Staycation in JB: KSL Resort Hotel

My gf was itching for a trip/travel/vacation, to mark the end of her "torture". She's finally graduating from her one year long project. Congrats girl~

Exterior view. It was very hot outside.

So, we went JB Malaysia's KSL City & Resort Hotel, one of the newer mall and hotel in the area, for our one night staycation during the weekends. We had pre-booked a Superior Room online via their website but due to some mixed up, we were upgraded to the Deluxe Room with no additional charge. Our room is located on the 22nd floor and I feel it's considered quite small. There's a bathtub in the bathroom, and also WiFi connection that requires login that only allows two devices to login per room at one time.

Our room

We were quite unlucky as there was a jam in the morning on our way in. But after we got there, we did lots of stuff there: Manicure - Pedicure, Massage, Shopping, Movie (We watched Hangover 3), and ate lots. I went for a hair cut too (and the hairstylist is cute and handsome *drool*). The mall is quite huge. To a point that we keep getting lost initially. Somehow we got a little more orientated on where we should head to after some time.

We did our nails at Nails Studio (L2-103). Not really recommended. GF1 did her gelish nails and pedicure that cost her RM135, that was completed in less than an hour, and comments was that end product was quite rough, not to standard. GF2 and I did classic pedicure, RM38 and same feelings, we felt short changed.

Alot of chairs and manicurists. There's not so much biz in the early afternoon. There's free WiFi here.

I did my hair at RCS Hair Studio (L2-11) for RM45, that includes a shoulder massage, wash and cut. My hairstylist, Leslie, is quite good looking LOL. My hair looks great for the day.

*drool*

We went for a massage at QS Reflexology & Therapy. Foot massage 40minutes for RM30, Shoulder massage 30minutes for RM35. Very shiok, very pain lol.


We ate at these places

• Cawan Mas Cafe (L1-101) - Breakfast. All that we ordered was nice! Either that or we were too hungry. Hot coffee, tea, curry puffs and toasted sandwiches. 

Breakfast~

• Causeway Bay Hong Kong Cafe (LG-39 & 40) - Love the Cheesy noodles. 

... Photos to be updated ...

• Sushi King Japanese Restaurant ( LG-49 to 51) - Oh man.. I ate lots of the salmon sushi and salmon belly sushi.. Love~~ But the service alittle slow. We showed ourselves in and after a long time someone finally asked if we needed drinks, and after a reminder, they then serve the drinks. 

Salmon at RM4 per plate (or was it RM5?)

• Taroyami (10, Jalan Serigala, Taman Abad, 80250, Johor) - This dessert stall is located outside the mall, one street away. We ordered a Taroyami Black & White [RM7.90] and White and a Sour Temptation [RM6.90]. I prefer the first, as the latter is too sour for me. 

Yummy, but not much business though, quite empty

Taroyami Black & White

It was a great trip with my girlfriends. Finally we got to travel together for the first time.

Some things to note though:

• The official taxi counter charges us RM10.90, when the meter jumped only to RM5.10. And for our trip back, the taxi uncle charged us RM8. So now you know the market rate to haggle the next time you go, anything below the first price =P
• WiFi connection is stronger in the corridor than in room
• No worries about missing your favourite Mediacorp shows LOL
• The swimming pool is considered.... a public pool.
• The tap card system at the lift does not work. Anyone is able to go up.
• Shut the curtains before going to sleep. The morning sun blinded us LOL.

Young and Beautiful (The Great Gatsby soundtrack)

Have you watched the movie The Great Gatsby? I haven't. Was it nice? I had heard mixed reviews.

The movie was on Singapore cinemas since May 16 2013 starring Tobey Maguire and Leonardo Dicaprio (Sorry I only recognise these two actors). It is an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel, The Great Gatsby. Maybe I should read the novel first.

"The Great Gatsby" follows the journey of Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Nick arrives with the hope of achieving the American Dream, and the great fortune of a place next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby (Leonardo Dicaprio). It happens that he is also across the bay from his cousin, Daisy (Carey Mulligan), and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), and Nick is thus drawn into the captivating world of the super-rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. However, as guileless Nick bears witness within and without the world he inhabits, he soon realises a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, all the while weaving it into a novel that holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

Lately the soundtrack of the movie, Young and Beautiful, has been on air quite frequently, attracting my attention. The song is sung by an American singer-songwriter, Lana Del Rey. It's a truly beautiful song. Have you heard it yet?

Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful.

Together with the film's director, co-writer, and co-producer Baz Luhrmann, Del Rey penned the original song "Young and Beautiful" for the soundtrack of the 2013 film adaptation of The Great Gatsby. The song will be released to contemporary hit radio as a single, and is being used as the film's kickoff single. A snippet of the track appeared in the official trailer for the film and played during the scene where the characters portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan express their romantic feelings for one another.

I've seen the world
Done it all, had my cake now
Diamonds, brilliant, and Bel-Air now
Hot summer nights mid July
When you and I were forever wild
The crazy days, the city lights
The way you'd play with me like a child

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful

I've seen the world, lit it up as my stage now
Channeling angels in, the new age now
Hot summer days, rock and roll
The way you'd play for me at your show
And all the ways I got to know
Your pretty face and electric soul

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful

Dear lord when I get to heaven
Please let me bring my man
When he comes tell me that you'll let me
Father tell me if you can

Oh that grace, oh that body
Oh that face makes me wanna party
He's my sun, he makes shine like diamonds

Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful
Will you still love me when I got nothing but my aching soul
I know you will, I know you will
I know that you will
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm no longer beautiful
Will you still love me when I'm not young and beautiful

林俊傑 JJ Lin - 黑暗騎士 The Dark Knight

JJ Lin, one of my favourite Singaporean singers, launched his 10th album, Stories Untold on 13 March 2013. I just managed to listen to some of the songs from his new album. And I liked quite a few. Here's one, The Dark Knight, a collaboration with Mayday's Ashin (Mayday is my favourite band).

新加坡歌手林俊傑在2013年3月發了他第十張【因你而在】。最近才有機會欣賞這張專輯。非常喜歡專輯里的幾首歌。介紹這首，JJ 和五月天合作的，黑暗騎士。

作詞：五月天 阿信
作曲：林俊傑
編曲：林俊傑 五月天
特別演出Feat：五月天 阿信

黑暗裡誰還不睡　黑色的心情和斗篷假面
黑夜的黑不是最黑　而在於貪婪找不到底線
腳下是卑微的街　我孤獨站在城市天際線
別問我惡類或善類　我只是渴望飛的哺乳類

善惡的分界　不是對立面
而是每個人　那最後純潔的防線　都逃不過考驗

有沒有一種考驗　有沒有一次淬煉
拯救了世界就像　英雄　電影　情節
有沒有一種信念　有沒有一句誓言
呼喚黎明的出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
呼喚黎明的出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
呼喚黎明的出現

為什麼抓光了賊　多年來更沒目擊過搶匪
而貧窮還是像潮水　淹沒了人們生存的尊嚴
文明最顛峰某天　人們和蝙蝠卻住回洞穴
那罪行再也看不見　都躲在法律和交易後面

善惡的分界　不怕難分辨
只怕每個人　都關上雙耳和雙眼　都害怕去改變

有沒有一種改變　有沒有一次壯烈
結局的完美就像　英雄　電影　情節
有沒有一種信念　有沒有一句誓言
呼喚黎明的出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
呼喚黎明的出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
呼喚黎明的出現　呼喚黎明的出現

越來越毒的雨水　越來越多的災變
越來越遠的從前　英雄　電影　情節
律師和小丑勾結　民代和財團簽約
善良和罪惡妥協

越來越大的企業　越來越小的公園
越來越深的幻滅　英雄　電影　情節
面具下的人是誰　或者說不管是誰
都無法全身而退 yeah yeah yeah yeah
都無法全身而退 yeah yeah yeah yeah
都無法全身而退

當我們都走上街　當我們懷抱信念
當我們親身扮演　英雄　電影　情節
你就是一種信念　你就是一句誓言
世界正等你出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
世界正等你出現 yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh~ yeah yeah

林俊傑與五月天首度重量級合作，就是一首澎湃激昂、犀利批判的搖滾歌曲！這首「黑暗騎­士」是JJ與五月天一同窩在錄音室所創作出來的，由JJ譜曲，五月天親自編曲、彈奏，­五月天主唱阿信撰寫歌詞並與JJ合唱，氣度非凡、氣勢爆表，無論是聽起來或唱起來都非­常過癮，雙方歌迷期待度最高！「黑暗騎士」即將成為2013年度話題經典歌曲！

天團與天王的首度合作，創造出了全新視野、大格局的「黑暗騎士」，共同為社會、未來、­人民發聲；在這個動盪不安的時代，鼓勵所有人勇敢站出來，喚醒沉睡已久的信念，為自己­一戰，當沒有人能拯救自己時，自己就要成為拯救自己的黑暗騎士。

在歌曲中JJ與阿信又像對談又像對峙的合唱，加上MV與微電影中兩人互不相讓的演技，­早已激起歌迷對這首「黑暗騎士」的熱愛，兩人在片中身穿全紅西裝的身影也牢牢烙印在歌­迷心中，而導演暗藏巧思，拍攝地點特地選在火力發電廠，呼應時事的同時，也為這首歌更­添話題。
