So I saw Jayesslee today

They happened to drop by my church to perform a couple of songs for us. I first heard about them in 2008 I think and I didn't think they were that special to be honest. In fact yesterday was the first time I'd ever watched one of their videos, which happened to be their cover of payphone.




Now they do sing pretty well, but they definitely aren't Aguilera or Carey-type screamers who can belt out the craziest pitches or anything. They're more pleasant than impressive. Their looks didn't charm my pants off which is what a lot of guys say they would do either. To be honest they looked a little old to me even.

So I walked into church today expectingmerely a pleasant (if somewhat bland) time.

Then they came onto stage, and they started speaking. What I didn't expect is that I'd practically fall in love with them on the spot. Though I did enjoy it, it wasn't their music that won me over. Rather it was the whole package that... I dunno. Just got me so smitten. :3 And there and then what I thought was a forgettable pair suddenly became a supersuper big infatuation for me. I started to find them prettier (it's because of their presence) and I loved their Aussie accents (something which I didn't know until today that I take a liking to).


ZOMG LOOK AT THEM THEY'RE SO CUTE ;_;

Then they sang One Republic's Secrets.




AND THEN I REALISED THAT SONIA IS MY FAVOURITE LEE (she's the one with the guitar).

Although I think her sister's prettier I like Sonia's singing more! Her style's a lot more obvious in Secrets than in Payphone. AND I LOVE IT. I don't care how old she'll be next time I swear when I get a job I will find her and I will marr-


Oh snap. oh snap. :'(

:(

Feels like my heart's been ripped from my chest.


This picture is so Lower Sec if you know what I mean

Well. Looks like my heart'll be broken and I'll be lonely for the next three yea- OMG THIS GIRL IS SO CUTE










CHINA WINE CHINA WINE CHINA WINE CHINA WINE

So, I haven't posted in a very long time.

Since March actually. That's like. A good three months in between?

Let's get conventions out of the way either way.

SONG OF THE DAY: As Long As You Love Me by Justin Bieber



I can imagine the look on your face right now.


At least it's not Jedward OH SNAP

Yeah, Justin Bieber. For real. Don't go all "But it's Justin Bieberrrrr" and not give it a listen. It actually is pretty okay! Apparently it's supposed to be him and his musical style maturing, so he decides to sing over a (sadly not really heavy enough but possessing has that distorted sax noise which is so addictive) heavily dubstep-inspired instrumental. And surprisingly... It's pretty good. Quite catchy. Stuck in my head, even. The song was playing throughout my head during the recent exams. At least it was alternating between that and China Wine HAHAHAHA.

I'm sure most of if not all of you know about the recent controversy with Pastor Kong Hee and the funds thing. I don't have much to say about that. But something I do have things to say about is one of the by-products of aforementioned events. And that is CHINA WINE.

Here's the video.



It's by Sun Ho, who's Pastor Kong's wife. And this tune is fine.

But not because it's particularly good music (although this was stuck in my head alongside Bieber but it isn't the song of the day because DON'T QUESTION ME). But because it's so... insane.

Finally I've found a way to describe it. It's batshit insane, that's why I like it so much.

I mean just watch the thing. In the first 5 seconds we have a Jamaican guy screaming at us in a super epic voice. Then he says "RIGHT ABOUT NOW" and right after that you struggle to comprehend whatever the hell he's saying, making out only the most obvious words being "CHINA WINE" and for reasons not initially obvious "MENTALLY ILL *something something* ENERGY GUN ELEPHANT MAN". How can you not immediately be charmed by something that's so completely nuts.

Then the first line goes "It's the Carribean connection, Asian invasion coming to your residence". This line itself has haunted me endlessly. I don't know why. But the way she says Asian invasian is so intruiging. It's like a worm in my ear. Albeit a strangely pleasant one.


Strangely pleasant indeed.

Then Sun starts trying to speak Jamaican-bastardized English. She succeeds wonderfully on the count that I can't make out a single thing she says, which I assume is what Jamaican English is about. Then the song really begins.

If the song doesn't get stuck in your head I swear something's wrong with you.

I hated the song after the first time I listened to it. Then on subsequent listens I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT. I don't know why. Maybe it's the ridiculous premise of the video (with an actual storyline at the end which leads up to the next MV - Brilliant!) or maybe it's the incomprehensible lyrics. Maybe it's the presence of Elephant Man who looks like he's downright crazy.

I feel he looks more normal here than in the video to be terribly honest.

Most likely however it's probably because the whole package is so... orthodox. That it appeals to me.

It has the black guys rapping, the catchy chorus and its verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-outro thing that's so absolutely common that I LOVE IT. Don't hate on me for loving mainstream man. If it's catchy I'll like it.

Who do I listen to? Well. You've probably heard of them. *Ba dum tss*

For the sake of using the picture I'll just do so since I just tried to crack a joke.

Like an old friend coming back to borrow some money.

How was exams for everyone? For me I can pretty much say that when I collect my results... I'll see U there!


Ahahaha! Wahahaha! Hoho!

Looks like I didn't need to use the picture earlier on. Oh well, it shall remain there.



RANDOM THINGS THAT I OWE POSTS TO - Now Hyper-condensed!

-Aw man start of school

And now here we are at midyears. I keep acting like it's over. I'm sure you guys feel so to. Oh well.

I ought to go back to studying lit. Exam's on tuesday and I've yet to finish one of the texts... Which I bought only yesterday HAHAHAHA #screwed



Random, if you ever get captcha codes when downloading stuff (which I always do since I'm a pirate and I pirate things) one of the words is actually useless. Usually the blurrier one. The real captcha is the usually more difficult probably-made-up word while the other is just a scan from a book. By doing this they're asking you to fill in the captcha and help them read a word that they need reading (since they're starting to digitize books but they can't possibly transcibe everything themselves so they force us to do it in captcha codes), hence our two-word captcha as shown below. If you know which one's the word to be transcribed, you can fill in random crap for that one and they'll let you off!

So now they have an entry that what should "bookseller" is actually "whatisthisbullshit". Congrats to me for being a troll.

Used in the sentence "get the bookseller, esburne!"


Goodnight friends, study hard.





As long as you love me,

sometimes I feel so helpless

like sometimes everything I do won't and can't make any difference at all

Fear

Are you afraid of me or something?
I'm afraid I might've messed up.

I hate it.

I hate it when people lie to me
And I hate it when people talk about something in front of me but refuse to tell me about it
Least you could do is talk about it behind my back or something

Today

Today was a really shitty day. Ended alright though. Thanks everyone who tried cheering me up. (: I feel loved!



You still confuse me like hell.

You make me wonder.

Sometimes you make me wonder what you're trying to do.
Sometimes you make me wonder what I mean to you.
Sometimes you make me wonder what you mean to me.
Sometimes you make me wonder why I even wonder so much about you.




Best thing is, I don't think I'll ever find out.

I am lazy.

I'm lazy to blog properly.

Open house today was okay/boring as a whole today.

But I'm super proud of Atlas and every other Meridian for putting on such a good show for the new J1s-to-be. (:

I'll blog about open house properly when the pictures go on facebook!

We're gonna make it.

I just know that we will.

I don't think I'm a very good teammate.

Feeling useless and disappointed in myself.



I hope I can make it up to everyone tomorrow!
