New Album Review

Got 插班生‘s new album today at DISCOUNTED PRICE(Thanks to Evan Lee) and I'm here for a review!!

Generally, their debut album is good in like almost all aspects. Cover looks cool, lyrics book looks damn cool also, and the songs are kinda nice to listen to.

First song that got stuck in my head was DEFINITELY 人生试验课! It's not just cos I was in the MV or anything, but scientific facts coupled with catchy tune and great sound made this the first song I absolutely enjoy!

Secondly was Evan's recommendation. 小动作 was also, to me, a good song. Guitar intro rocked, and voices enhanced the overall sound and texture of the song. Sounded like a cross between Ocean( Ou De Yang), Evan's great guitar riffs and a bit of Li Sheng Jie.

Thirdly, Polaroid. No, it's not the camera. It's the 4th song of their album. Another great guitar intro, nice piano entries and sound effects, great voice control(I'm slowly losing my ability to hit the high notes of Polaroid!)

Fourthly,回憶 這東西 was also one of my favorites. At first it sounded like an acapella cover of a Taylor Swift song, then it became more of a famous jazz star's voice cos I could hear a small bit of jazzy tunes in it. This was one of the few rare songs I have on iTunes that really got me reflecting on 2010 and the years past in SASS.

Lastly,爛人館. That song's starting reminds me of Jay's 三年二班. And after that, well, feels like acapella, jazz, a bit of rock and pop plus the tune of New York combined. Makes you think of Michael Buble's Feeling Good as well.


I may be over-exaggerating, but well, their songs bring a effect similar to that I posted, if not exact. And if you've been following them on Twitter( I know you will, Raymond), their album is 2nd on HMV's Asian chart. And their album was released not that long ago.


Thanks to Evan for the discounted album price PLUS chance in the MV of 人生试验课!! Err, if you see this, forget about the 1 dollar you owe me today!

Cutting Names, Dropping Status, Enhancing Life?

I was very bored. Quite sad and emo this few days, despite a face completely opposite.

First, let's discuss exams. Even after improvements in Geog and maintaining my Science, my L1R5 was a pathetic 20. All my As have turned into Bs(rarely) and Cs, and the rest turns into an F9(Screw you, Maths). As predicted, I got lectured. 

Next, I've been screwed by new curfew rules. Don't wish to disclose here, it's almost exactly the same as the 2 month computer ban and study curfew I got last year

Thirdly, I've been more impulsive, short-tempered and aggressive, too much to the point whereby I rush into things, jump into wilder conclusions and not thinking what I say. Basically, I shoot my mouth off and let it out, regardless on how it affects others.

If this was stress, I really don't think such extreme conditions would appear.Even if it did, it should be in a smaller scale.

I'm still having pangs of guilt from the old one. Maybe if I wasn't immature, then it wouldn't had happened. It feels like every physical pain I endure is nothing compared to the emotional pain I inflicted on her.

There are good times and bad times in life. However, a cruel and unshaved bastard by the name of Reality facepalms you and beats you down into submission, leading you to curse and swear at the bad times. Therefore, we need God to offset this so that we can have a way of escape. I doubt I have been trusting Him recently.

Well, to end off on a happy note, I FINALLY RE-STRINGED MY ACOUSTIC GUITAR!
