BEAUTIFUL SONG BELOW! :)

"If Everyone Cared"




From underneath the trees, we watch the sky

Confusing stars for satellites

I never dreamed that you'd be mine

But here we are, we're here tonight



Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive



[Chorus:]

If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died



And I'm singing



Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive



And in the air the fireflies

Our only light in paradise

We'll show the world they were wrong

And teach them all to sing along



Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

Singing Amen, I, I'm alive

(I'm alive)



[Chorus x2]



And as we lie beneath the stars

We realize how small we are

If they could love like you and me

Imagine what the world could be



If everyone cared and nobody cried

If everyone loved and nobody lied

If everyone shared and swallowed their pride

Then we'd see the day when nobody died

When nobody died...



[Chorus]



We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day

When nobody died

We'd see the day when nobody died

the ugly truth

hmmmm,

The disgust during a date would be as follows.

Dear gals,
Women should avoid discussing finances, unless their date brings up the topic. A man might feel that a woman is more interested in how much he makes if she asks how much his car cost, how much he earns, etc. Men want to be valued for who they are, not just as a potential wage earner.


Dear guys,
On the same note, do not try to impress her by detailing your car’s multiple features. The woman is interested in getting to know you, not your car. She will decide whether she wants a second date–not because she’s impressed by what kind of car you drive but based on whether she’s impressed with you.

I want to watch “The Ugly Truth” because...

1) the story is interesting :

A romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.

2) its funny :

from an online review - My husband and I saw this at a sold-out sneak preview on July 17. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time at a film and the audience seemed to find the film as funny and bawdy as I did. My husband was happy to watch a romantic comedy from the male perspective as well as the female for a change. The leads are attractive but not the usual "perfect" specimens we usually get in these films, and the situations, while often over-the-top, are quite humorously portrayed. The typical fairy tale elements seem to go by the wayside here and we're left with a harsher but very funny battle-of-the-sexes comedy for the times in which we now live.

3) the actor/actresses are good :

Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler

:)

4) good date for me and my bf! :D

5) I love moviesssssssss

6) I love nuffnang...


and I hope nuffnang will let me to do so. :)

anyway..,,,,,,,,
Be a fan at the official Facebook page and catch The Ugly Truth when it opens in the cinemas on the 17th September 09!

Waiting to watch UP!

I can’t wait to watch UP! The movie trailer can be viewed here:

"UP" trailer (click to view trailer)

This is the story line of “UP” the movie:

By tying thousands of balloon to his home, 78-year-old Carl Fredricksen sets out to fulfill his lifelong dream to see the wilds of South America. Right after lifting off, however, he learns he isn't alone on his journey, since Russell, a wilderness explorer 70 years his junior, has inadvertently become a stowaway on the trip.

The 2 main characters: Carl and Russell are very much interesting to me after viewing the trailer because of the following reasons:

1) They are cute.
2) They are funny.
3) I love how life like they are as animations.
4) Carl’s character and Russell’s character somehow don’t match and this makes me wonder how they can put up with each another.
5) Basically they are made by PIXAR, one of the BEST animators!!!

This is how the characters from the movie look like:

Carl - cute grandpa

Russell - the cuter wildness boy

Dough - the brown dog

Kevin - the birddddddddy

Can’t wait to watch this show! It will help me to decrease the stress I have after my exam! =(

“UP in Singapore Cinemas opening 7th August 2009”

a little prayer for confidence

Dear god,

I completed my accounts bridging the other day. its amazing how from knowing nothing about accounts i can become an account just in 4 days! how cool is that right..??

oh well it is really difficult to juggle school and work. studying full time and working part time is easy but not the other way round. it tires u out totally. after my accounts i really felt relieved. because during the 4 days of lesson i had to absorb as much as i could so that 5 days later i could do an exam of 3 hrs long. tough life man. atleast now i am resting and having my 1 week much needed rest. hopefully business law wouldnt be as bad as accounting. my accounting module was bad because i over stressed myself studying every little time i got..

Please grant me good grades for accounts. I put in my best effort. Please don't fail me. I don't want to lose hope in studying.

thank you and love ya!

Love kala.

ups and downs of working life

oh well, there's certainly ups and downs of working in my workplace and I am just gonna talk about one of the ups.

Siting at the counter, you not only meet pesky and irritating people who seem to be idiots to you, you also get to see nice bouquets and gifts delivered to staff/students.

Some from hubbys, some from friends, some from families some from lovers....

Seeing pretty flowers and chocolates do make my day and put that smile there no matter how shitty i feel.

its so nice to receive flowers right?

watches!

i love love love to wear watches.
but i am kinda weird.
i only wear watches that are:

- unique
- have a big frame ( i hate small and lady like watches. wat's the point of wearing something u cant see)
- mainly manly ones


so recently.. i was busy doing a watch hunt.
stuck in between two types of watches that i wanna buy.
first is LED watches from Japan.

see link.

these watches will not last long obviously but its really pretty.
i particularly like these watches.

Pimp Star Performer

The all new Star Performer from the Pimp series is a truly beautiful LED watch design. This is the Pimp watch, re-engineered with a new way to read the time and a sleek, modern look.

Made from solid stainless steel with a double spring clasp and mineral crystal lens, Star Performer features mirrored digits on the face through which LEDs shine to display the time.

Press the button and the lights animate like fireworks before presenting the time, a single digit in each column lighting up to show the time. For example, 1-2-5-3 would be 12:53.

The four icons across the top indicate the mode. From left to right, the icons read: clock, Sun, $ and Martini glass. Press the button to cycle through the modes.

The clock icon means time mode has been selected. If the watch is in 12 hour mode and it is PM then the Martini glass will also light up - this is to indicate drinking time! The Sun icon represents the day and date, the digits 1-7 in the left column indicating the day; Sunday = 1, Monday = 2 etc., the digits in the right two columns indicating the date. The $ icon represents the year, and reminds you to keep making money year after year.

The light-up feature also animates once a minute for 12 minutes after the button is pressed and automatically turns on between 7 pm and 1 am, giving a very cool malfunctioning look, a setting that can't be turned off.

Available with white or blue LEDs, you'll be pimpin' in style with your Star Performer.

the other one that i really love is.......

Tokyoflash Negative. (red)

With an 'Always-On' Liquid Crystal display, and a stylish, solid case, Negative is one of the most sophisticated designs available from Tokyoflash. Negative will look as good on your wrist at a business meeting as it will on the dance floor.

Seven colors in one watch!

Available in polished silver or polished black, Negative's LCD screen is always displaying the time, allowing the wearer to read it at a glance. What really brings this design to life is its multi color LED light guide. At the touch of a button, the display can be backlit with one of seven user selectable colors, a feature which is most impressive at night.

With the style and luxury of a solid stainless steel band, Negative also has an abundance of features, including a vertical or horizontal display option, several alarm functions, 12/24 hour mode and multi-color mode, sending all LED colors into a frenzy when the backlight is activated.

The display presents the time in negative space, the unlit squares on the screen showing digital numbers, highlighted by the bright squares around them. This creates a subtle optical illusion effect, giving the watch a unusual mystique, unlike those using standard digital displays.

Negative is a classic Tokyoflash design and will keep you looking cool for years to come.

A Quicktime movie of the watch in action is available here. [1.4MB]

good day all!

Headphones!

I am an avid fan of headphones! I hate to stuck earpieces into my ears.. It’s painful and I wonder how people can take it. I love my first good headphones by Audio Technica. I love it so much because it fits perfectly to my already small ears. The sound is clear and loud! I love clear sound. It is so nice to hear songs with clear sound. You feel as if you are there at a concert when the band is playing right infront of u as u close ur eyes and imagine. HEAVEN! Oh well, since my headphones spoilt/lost, I am yearning for a good one. Not cheap to invest on headphones. Good ones go up to $100 plus. My pair of Audio Technica caused me $38 if I am not wrong. Right now $48.. but I am thinking of trying some other headphones. Philips high end ones are quite good. I love anything with good and clear sound. I tried iluv ones.. not too bad..

For those who want to buy headphones and are unsure what type to get, you can check out this link:

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/electronics-computers/audio-video/headphones/headphone-guide/types/headphones-types.htm

My preference is the following:

- Over-the-ears (circumaural)
(picture can be found here: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/resources/images/electronics-computers/audio-video/headphones/headphone-guide/types/type_headphones_over-the-ears-models.jpg)

These models cup your ears, sealing in sound and muffling ambient noise. But they might also block out some things that you want to hear, such as a doorbell or a child's cry.

- Active noise-reduction headphones
(picture can be found here: http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/resources/images/electronics-computers/audio-video/headphones/headphone-guide/types/type_headphones_active-noise-reduction.jpg)

Noise-reducing headphones are a good choice for anyone who doesn't want to be disturbed by outside noise. Any headphones with a closed design that fit tightly over your ears or inside the ear canal will block some noise by creating a seal. This is called passive noise reduction. Closed design over-the-ear and insert-style earphones tend to block more noise than do open design, on-ear, and ear-bud-style headphones.

Models with active noise-canceling technology go a step further. These battery-powered headphones use tiny microphones to monitor noise frequencies, and then produce those same frequencies out of phase in an effort to cancel them. We've found that the effectiveness of noise reduction technology can range from very good to poor. In general, we found the most effective noise-reduction in models that combined passive noise blocking with active noise cancellation. Some models let you turn off noise reduction; these will work without batteries. Others work only with noise canceling activated, and thus they can't be used for listening to music if the batteries die. And in some cases, you can use the noise-canceling feature even when you're not listening to music, simply to reduce outside noise.

I NEED TO BUY ONE SOON. DYING OF GOOD HEADPHONES!
