Wow!

So many responses for the last post. Haha. Now we continue the discussion by linking songs to memories. I will end the post by talking about the weekend, I guess.

As we already mentioned, somehow some songs always can make us recall a certain stage of our life, or a certain scene. I wonder what kind of songs have the same effect on you? Well, let me list some of the songs for myself here...

Mid-era Jeff Chang Songs
=========================
Basically his later album with Rock Records, with EMI and the first album with Sony define the period of the 'super sad Jeff songs'. Those were the times we were fascinated by his crystal clear voice, mesmerised by his heartbreaking vocals. As for me, those songs were the hottest during my secondary years. Those years were also some of the unhappy years I had spent in my life. I shan't elaborate further but just take it that basically I comforted myself by using these songs as an outlet of my feelings (which I always felt nobody would understand anyway). Ah well, the fortunate side of this was an opportunity to polish my vocals as well. A slightly happier song '多想' was one of the better highlights as I was praised by a good friend of mine, Dan, when I was singing it while walking down the slope in our secondary school... hehe.

Eternal Love - PJ n Duncan
===========================
My first English album. On hindsight, it was a lousy album but it was memorable. It marked the era in which I began listening to pop music seriously. However, the incident that was unforgettable was that the song made me thought seriously about relationships... mm.. I was in primary 4 class and wondering which girl would I like.. haha.

爱火(Fire of Love) - 孙耀威
==========================
This song is memorable because it was the first direct criticism from a schoolmate regarding my lousy singing. I was actually singing it at home, when a schoolmate who went to my neighbour's home heard it (my neighbours and I are all same primary school). She ridiculed me when I met her in school and it got me on my nerves. Haha. I guess today I would have got rid of that 'lousy singer' tag.

被爱的女人 (The Loved Woman) - Coco Lee
======================================
This song reminds me of an idiotic person.

Addicted-to-You - Utada Hikaru
==============================
This song is the song which I used in my first audition for a stint in the music industry. Was a COMPLETE FLOP. =p Anyway it didn't discourage me much since I wanted to sing other songs more suitable for me but didn't have the -1 cd. Eventually I signed up for a short 3 month singing class there and learnt some basics of singing which I have been imparting to my various friends who would like to improve as well.

爱情森巴舞(Love Samba Dance) - Grasshoppers
==========================================
This is a retro dance song! Haha, somehow we had the cassette tape when we were younger. That time this song I can associate with boogie butt. Hahaha. Funny funny.

Take a Bow - Madonna
=====================
Madonna's hit! I think I mastered it in 1994 during my primary 5 years. Didn't really realise a difference between male and female voices but thought it was a real cool song. This song makes me remember of my first secret 'rendezvous'.. haha. Shall keep the meaning of 'rendezvous' vague. =p

Okie, I think there are other memorable songs but not as strong at the moment. Those songs follow my feelings at that moment I guess. Currently I am feeling very 'cute-ish' as Pika is sending me all the Pooh photos! Haha. Will show just 1 here =p (he's gonna whack me but heck, I just post 1 of the many he sent me)

Oh, we are also looking for the red spec baby pooh so if you manage to see it in any 7-11 when you pass by, please please please do let us know!

Finally, oh well, my weekend was spent interestingly =p. Just a rollercoaster of emotions, up, down, up~ Anyway think it's another week of emotional growth... grown to be more trusting, to be more loving. Hope you guys will enjoy the feeling of being loved and loving someone wholeheartedly ba!
