给曾咏霖的一份简单的生日礼物:《你是爱我的》

咏霖,这几天实在病得太重了,体力实在有限,也没有办法准时地替你准备好礼物。

今天的咳嗽刚好开始稍缓,就决定把迟一天的礼物给你,希望你会喜欢。

选了一首张惠妹的《你是爱我的》,因为是她的新歌,也是你欣赏的歌手,希望我不会把歌唱得太烂。有唱得不好的地方,也希望能海涵。

我刻意把脸遮住,因为我想信你应该能记得我的样子吧。

祝你幸福快乐,开开心心!

Teresa's Remixed Song in Latest 881 Dance Track, Exclusive Photos of Ang Mo Kio Wet Market Fire

Teresa's Remixed Song in 881 Dance Tracks Album:

I am so proud of Teresa (her photo is at the bottom centre of the album cover, right alongside her favourite singers, Zhang Hui Mei and F.I.R) because she has yet again manages to surprise everyone with her song paricipation in the latest movie dancetrack album of the famous local movie 881. Teresa's song inside the album is the last song known as 爱昧 (funky remix version) and although she has only one song in the album, it already speaks volumes of how her singing is appreciated by even movie and album producers.

Way to go, Teresa! A Campus Superstar who continues to shine again and again and again! Stay tuned to her because I am expecting more good things coming from this girl!

Exclusive Photos of Ang Mo Kio Wet Market Fire:

I was in the vicinity for work when I heard a lot of sirens wailing past and before I knew, Xiangrui of TFC smsed me about the fire. When my work was done, I headed in the direction of the Ang Mo Kio Wet Market and took the following exclusive photographs with my camera phone. The shots were taken faraway because the police cordoned off quite a big area but still, I managed to slip in these two:

What you see is just a fraction of the number of heavy duty fire engines and numerous police patrol cars completely surrounding the wet market. There goes my favourite BBQ chicken wings stall and my nasi lemak stall. Haiz...
This shot is special because you can still see fire burning inside the charred wet market (see the red spot at the right-centre of the photograph above). The angle was taken through a HDB flat towards one of the long rows of food stalls, which sadly are now completed gutted. As I ploughed through the hundreds of onlookers, I could still hear the explosions coming from somewhere inside the wet market. What a fire!

Teresa's Winning Entry For CHIJ KC Chinese Composition Writing Competition 2007

Well, Michelle of Teresa's fanclub has informed me of the following and I think it will be nice to share another piece of good news with all the supporters of Teresa about how she has done in the intra-school Chinese composition writing competition this year.

Have fun reading! =D

Position: 第一名
Title: 尴尬往事
Name: 曾詠霖 Tseng Yung Lin (Chinese & Eng)
Class: SEC 302
Stream: 普通学术

“哇!太好了!今天这个特别的日子终于到了!好兴奋啊!”早晨一起床,看到美丽灿烂的阳光,我真是恨不得立刻就到傍晚。  

其实,今天晚上是我们班一年一度举办的化妆舞会。班上所有人都迫不及待,都想快点到舞会的时间,欢快的心情,就像树枝间吹拂的清风,一整天,我们每个人都开心地准备晚上要穿的衣服、化妆品、首饰等,忙得不可开交。每个人都心花怒放。我呢?当然也是又高兴又紧张。时间总算一分一秒地捱过去了,再过半个小时舞会就要开始了。所有的人都已准时来到了目的地,等时间一到,我们大家就可以开始狂欢了。  

“五、四、三、二、一!舞会正式开始!” 大会司仪高声倒数着。时间终于到了,音乐开始响起了,每个人都开始疯狂地跳起舞来,有的还跟着音乐唱起歌来呢。我好紧张,怕自己衣服没有其他人的好看、亮丽。但谁知道,当我一踏进礼堂,所有的目光都盯着我,注视着我,那眼神中有羡慕、有渴望、有惊奇、有赞叹……每个人一看见我就好像整颗心都溶化了。我好高兴,好开心啊,整个人就像飘在云朵之上。  

突然,有个人大声喊着。“哇!大家来看!她的后背!她后面的拉链没有拉!”乍一听到时,我吓了一大跳。我慌乱紧张的样子大家看得一清二楚。我立刻冲进厕所,把拉链拉好,但我已根本没有脸出去见任何人,似乎感觉到外面都是嘲笑声,我忍不住哭了出来。我一个人就这样静静地躲在厕所里,把门锁上,不让人进来。只要一听到笑声,就会让我想起刚才发生的事。这是我有生以来最丢脸最尴尬的事了。我忽然间觉得好后悔来参加这个舞会,早知道会这样的话,我就不来参加了。我居然变成了笑柄让大家嘲笑!心里好难过,好寂寞。没有人来关心我,我也不想让人来关心我,也不敢出去。盼了一年准备了几个月的舞会就这么被我度日如年的捱过去了。

舞会的时间已快结束。听了一整晚的嬉闹声,每个人都玩得很开心,而我却一直待在厕所里度过这漫长的舞会。结束的时间到了,每个人都玩累了,一个个回家休息。等到完全没人了我才从里面走出来,走下空荡荡的楼梯,一个人孤单单地回家。  

纷纭往事如烟飘散,只有这一件事,却深深种植在我心中一般,我永远都忘不了。它将时时提醒我做事要细心,认真,这样才可以站在快乐的峰颠。

张桂花老师点评:文章写得曲折有致,跌宕生姿。  开篇蓄势很足,作者用大量笔墨来写自己对化妆舞会焦急的等待与渴盼,以及进了会场之后的陶醉“所有的目光都盯着我,注视着我,那眼神中有羡慕、有渴望、有惊奇、有赞叹……每个人一看见我就好像整颗心都溶化了。我好高兴,好开心啊,整个人就像飘在云朵之上。” 紧接着故事急转而下,“哇!大家来看! 她的后背!她后面的拉链没有拉!”前面的兴奋和飘飘然为下文自己的颓丧懊恼做了很好地铺垫映衬。  对比手法也很好的起到很好的表达效果,比如开始时的快乐与后来的沮丧对比,大家的欢乐与自己悲伤的对比等等。

Movie Review: Resident Evil - Extinction, Funny Videos: 《欠我十块》- 《千里之外》的搞笑版 and Japanese Game Show - Silent Library



Movie Review: Resident Evil - Extinction:

Yesterday evening, I was watching the movie with one of the fanclub supporter, Xiangrui and even though it was my first time watching a Resident Evil movie, it was quite a spectacular movie of sleek zombie-slaying moves and spine-tingling scenes of zombies gouging on hapless human beings.

The movie revolved around the female protagonist, Alice, who seems to have a special type of blood that can be a possible cure for the T-virus, a world-decaying and zombie-creating disease that was rapidly wiping out the rest of the world. Alice is one kind of a heroine, with very dexterous limbs, wielding mean-looking guns and knives, slicing zombie limbs here and blowing zombie brains there. She even possesses a remarkable and very powerful special talent, which makes her the perfect heroine to save the world.

Although I am not exactly a big fan of horror sci-fi movie (the movie is an adaptation of a series of successful computer role-playing games), I really liked the part where Alice helped a convoy of survivors struggling near-death against a throng of flesh-eating and kamikaze crows in the middle of a desert. Her moves were, in a short phrase, jaw-droppingly impressive.

Make sure you have a stomach to watch people and zombies die though because there will be plenty of such scenes, with enough blood splattered to fill a good-sized desert. Well, I was still holding onto my dinner of Japanese ebi and beef after the movie whilst Xiangrui was busy squirming at the scenes of zombies jumping out from the walls. Maybe I have survived movies like The Exorcist and Doom so this movie did not scare the skin out of me but I still enjoyed the action tremendously.

My review:
Story: ***
Action: ****
Direction: ***
Visuals: ****
Overall: ***1/2

《欠我十块》- 《千里之外》的搞笑版


My thanks to Munich for sending this very funny rendition of the song. I decided to share the video with all of you readers because it's really creative. Warning to the younger readers though - it still contains phrases of violence and bloodshed in some of the amended lyrics so take heart.

Japanese Game Show: Silent Library with Ernesto Hoost

The video was posted more than a year ago and has garned over a million hits. I don't know if some of you have already seen this but I suppose really hilarious game shows won't go stale, no matter how much times one has seen them. Warning: Do not try watching this video with a full stomach or you will risk indigestion from laughing too hard. Do not also try doing some of the forfeits or you may risk injuring your friends or yourself. XD
