been listening to chinese and canto songs for the past two days while studying.
yea there's still the chinese song streak in me, just not as passionate when i was younger. and i miss the good old songs when i was younger. i just dont really like songs nowadays. even though older songs tend to be cheesy at times? yea. give me that any time really.
kinda pride myself for being able to tune to both chinese and english songs.
i mean, like what elaine pointed out once, its quite hard to appreciate both english and chinese songs together. maybe for people like me, who are brought up in a chinese speaking environment, yet schooled in an english speaking environment, we will find it easier to switch from eng to chinese and back to eng. be it for languages or songs. yeaa.
cant quite help it if the family radio is tuned to LOVE 97.2 everyday, and my sis's radio is tuned to either yes933 or perfect10. for me, its either my laptop, class95, lush99.5 or ufm100.3. tend to go for stations that are not widely listened, with the exception of class95. glenn ong and the flying dutchman never fail to make me laugh in the mornings. but i do miss the times when rod was together with them. all the mornings spent on the bus travelling to school listening to them, and clutching my stomach trying not to laugh out loud at their suaning at each other, and constant cheesy crappy jokes. those were the days man.
and i do realise, the canto version of hk songs are always much nicer than the chinese version. take for example eason chan, he's the king of hk pop and his chinese songs are always superb. but his canto songs are even better. man. just listen to k ge zhi wang, and shi nian. powerrr. hahahs. and of course, all time favourite daniel chan, though i dont know if he's still coming up with albums. gotta check with my sis on that. yeaa. :) so shuai. hahahas.

ooh good news from my sis this afternoon. rvhs chorale got gold with honours for their choir syf this year! which means, they get to perform at the esplanade this july :) think my mum is gonna scream. she cant wait for my sis to get out of choir and focus on studies for Olevels this year. uhm. uhm. i gotta stand by my sis for this one, cuz after all she is sec 4, and wants to perform one last time with rv chorale. so why deprive her of the chance? damn proud of my sis.

me and my sis have grown up alot ever since the past. the past referring to times, where two stubborn gits refuse to give in to each other, and end up barking at each others' heads all night long, and slamming the doors in each other faces. in place, we have two mature ladies, helping each other out as much as possible, bringing back snacks and tidbits each other like to eat. partially becuz we have aged [aw what a bad thing to say. teehee.], and at the same time, stress is piling on each of us. she has seen me go through depression times last year during first sem when i couldnt adapt and everything seemed to be falling down on me, in return i've seen her working late nights on her physics and chem which she really tried to slog for, yet still obtaining absymal results for it. being her elder sis, i've tried to help her along, by staying up with her, teaching her and encouraging her along the way, giving her the much needed massages, sweets and chocs. as for her being the sweet younger sis, she has always cheered me up by using our soft toys, tagging at my blog last year as anonymous people trying to make me smile in times of gloomy weather.
we've grown to understand each other much better, and we know things about each other that even our parents dont know about. thats how close we are now. if you'd ask me about this 4 years ago, i'd have never thought we could reach such an amiable situation.
nowadays, she'd drop me smses like a friend, even when we're both working in different rooms, or outside and we'd msg like friends. :) and of course, whenever im out, i'd msg back and ask her if she wants me to bring anything back for her. of course, i dont splurge on her lest she asks for more each time hehe. but i do reward her when the time comes, like for her Olevels chinese, i bought her the jay chou vcd as a reward for getting A1 + distinction. she was so proud of me, she announced me on her blog and invited jealous tags from her friends saying that their sis/kors never got them anything for the results they've got. and when she proudly showed the tags to me, i was rather amused, yet proud of her at the same time. we're showing our appreciation of each other in a different way, me on my blog and her on hers. i know she reads mine, and she also knows i read hers. so yeaps.
to my dearest simna teo wei shan, here's a big hug from your sis. *HUGS*
good luck for Olevels this year, work hard and prove your teachers wrong, cuz i know you can make it! :)
