Change by Taylor Swift

Just gonna update a song, here it is, after busy time i'll soon update my blog

CHANGE - Taylor Swift

And it's a sad picture
The final blow hits you
Somebody else gets
What you wanted again
You know it's all the same
Another time and place
Repeating history
And you're getting sick of it

But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change

Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

So we've been outnumbered
Raided and now cornered
It's hard to fight
When the fight ain't fair

We're getting stronger now
Found things they never found
They might be bigger
But we're faster and never scared

You can walk away
Say we don't need this
But there's something in your eyes
Says we can beat this
'Cause these things will change

Can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up
To hold us back
Will fall down
It's a revolution
The time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah
We'll sing hallelujah, oh

Tonight we'll stand and get off our knees
Fight for what we've worked for
All these years
The battle was long
It was the fight of our lives
But we'll stand up, champions tonight
It was the night things changed

Can you see it now?
The walls that they put up
To hold us back
Fell down
It's a revolution
Throw your hands up
'Cause we never gave in
We'll sing hallelujah
We sang hallelujah
Hallelujah

As some of you should have known, that i have lost my bike and it was stolen, it was with me for three years in JB, the first time i found out i was in total shock, storm to church and borrow car to go back and bath to cool down myself.

Life affected due to the lost of transport to move around, however one day my dad called and told me that i can bring my car to JB! Woohoo, i've been thinking it for years and finally i can have it here, yay. I have to lost one to gain another, it's a blessing afterall, Hallelujah!!

Before the earth
Before all days
You knew me

Deep inside of me

Pre-Chorus:
It’s the depths of Your love
Moving in the depths of me

Bridge:
Speak into this mountain
To move into the ocean
With Your authority
Given to me
No matter what happened
Here I am standing
On the hope of Your word
Promise to me

Swiss Army Fragrance [Just bought]

2008-09-05T02:44:00.006+08:00

(Left to right) Swiss Army Classic, Swiss Army Altitude, Swiss Army For Her and Swiss Army Mountain Water

My choice - Swiss Army Classic [EAU DE TOILETTE]

Swiss Army Classic

Swiss Army Altitude

Swiss Army Mountain Water

Swiss Army for Her

Launched in 1997, Victorinox’s best-selling men’s fragrance Swiss Army Classic sells more than 1.4 million units annually. The 100ml edt comes in a brushed metallic quiver, a design inspired by the small bowls Swiss soldiers use for their canteen food.

Swiss Army Altitude, released in 2001, is an edt for men. The fresh and woody fragrance comes in a frosted black bottle that “emphasises the fresh power and energy from the Swiss mountains”. Its design is inspired by the small oxygen tanks used by Swiss soldiers while scaling great heights.

The first Swiss Army women’s fragrance, Swiss Army for Her, is described as a warm, floral and long-lasting fragrance for women who love nature. The edp is presented in a red glass flacon with a metal cap, the deep red derived from the trademark colour of the traditional Swiss Army Knife.

All three fragrances are available in 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, and as a 75ml deodorant stick.

Swiss Army Mountain Water, launched by Victorinox last year, has its olfactory concept built around the icy freshness of water from the Swiss Alps. The fougère juice comes in an intense blue bottle, inspired by the crystal clear blue water flowing from the mountains.

The launch of Mountain Water was supported by a visual campaign that showed ads of a man scaling an imposing glacier, along with the tagline: ‘The Swiss Way of Freshness’.

And the Swiss Alps association seems to have clicked with its target audiences. “Mountain Water was meant originally as just a one-off product for a year,” explained Holland. “However, the demand for it has been so strong that Victorinox are now reviewing that initial plan, and it’s quite possible that Mountain Water will become a permanent item in the portfolio because of its success.”

The nature theme, which centres on an authentic “Swiss ambience”, also forms the core of a series of new visual campaigns for Swiss Army Classic, Swiss Army Altitude and Swiss Army for Her. The association with the Swiss landscape runs strongly in all three ads, with snow-capped mountains and calm lakes forming a backdrop of unspoilt nature.

Holiday 20.08.2008

2008-08-21T03:03:00.005+08:00

Since it's a week for holiday so i've decided to take a day off from work and enjoy, so i've call up few ppl who's also in the holiday and available for enjoyable night to come to my house and plan things out.

So our plan started at 4, the threesome - Benjamin, Isaac and Aaron - reaching my house that time and we went for swimming for like one hour, Isaac is the pro swimmer, aaron is not bad even though he said he's not good enough, and Ben the beginner taking his time to learn, and after that go for sauna, initially was just 30 deg, and it's like taking so long that we're feeling normal, so we decided to put more water, u know it actually rise in temparature when u do that, all of us taking turn to put water and u know what?! It started to feel so hot and all of the rest begin to cabut except me, i felt so nice to sweat inside the sauna room, somehow one of them show me that it's actually 75 deg omg, can boil water with that temparature alr!

After that we go for makan in Permas Jaya Kg. Senibong [now we have moses to join us, who being asked for swimming but lying on the bed like p**], having nasi lemak above the sea and felt the coolness of the wind, having the view of Singapore, though i'm not the first time here but it feel so nice and refreshing.. And one of us came out with the idea of Nasi Lemak Pork Non-halal, hmm.. can it hit??

Coming plan we visited Jusco Tebrau City which was to bring the threesome there, who before that were shouted for the size of Jusco Permas Jaya (now amazed even more of Jusco Tebrau City), go one round, play some games and left for next station..

So now we're in Breakers (think written like that cos didn't check the spelling), in Stulang The Zon above Dolce, having a jug of beer and a cup of green tea for Benjamin*, playing pool and take some photos.. Anyhow the pictures not very clear and in the time of doing blog i've learnt that bloggers should carry his/her camera everywhere they go, in order to put some nice pics (not like mine everyone of the pics was being delayed..)

Thats the holiday we going thru, Great Holiday!! 20082008!

Convo of Ai Mei and Moses (19/8/08)

2008-08-21T02:15:00.004+08:00

Okay, since Ai Mei wasn't doing anything with her blog bout her convo (Ai Mei we're waiting for your update u've promised!), so i've decided to write something about the convo, it's a rainy day and the graduates have to find spot to take photos and i got the chance to take with Ai Mei before she left for studio photo taking with family, anyway the photo is in my hp now and yet i dont have the bluetooth receiver for pc so will update it soon..

While for moses i decided to give him a surprise visit cos he thought i won't be showing up for the convo, anyhow i bought him flowers and he got so many flowers and especially sunflowers that he like, the happiest moment ha, and ya his cg members bought him a very special gift, think i'll upload a pic bout it later.. anyone who would like to know what is that? Be creative in ur imagination.. A surprise and funny gift for a guy, what could it be?? try and guess it by putting ur answer in the comment, if still can't get mayb i'll do a vote soon.. *i have a peek in his room so i knew the answer kaka*

Anyway, after taking all the photos i was rushing for my work, [will put the photos soon cos not with me now], somehow when i reach home i found all the flowers - roses + sunflowers - all lying deadly in my kitchen, ahem to moses, felt sad for the flowers =_=

Olympic Beijing 2008 Grand Opening

2008-08-12T06:22:00.008+08:00

Creative Logo, It's actually the character of "Jīng" (京, from the name of the host city) in the form of a dancing figure, with the idea of 同一个世界同一个梦想 (One World, One Dream) The Dancing Beijing emblem. Besides, IMO the logo also looks like a 文, "Wen", which can mean Culture, Language etc. Most interestingly, the logo looks like one running athlete and it makes Olympic Beijing to have its own uniqueness and stand out from previous olympics..

Olympic Games Facts

Opening Ceremony : Aug 8th 2008

Closing Ceremony : Aug 24th 2008

Sport : 28

Medals : 303

Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, Fuwa serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace.

Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, Fuwa also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals -- the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow -- and the Olympic Flame.

Each of Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name -- a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.

When you put their names together -- Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni (北京欢迎你)-- they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of Fuwa as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.

If you got time, can check out the following links for the video - Welcome to Beijing, it was sang by many famous chinese artists like Leehom, Jackie Chan, Richie Ren, Gigi Leong, Jolin, Eason Chan, and there's one Korean inside the video.

One thing China never in lack --- Manpower!
