I have collected all the books of it (except the super large ones) and occasionally like to take it out and read. haha! Why I like them is because they are light-hearted and certain scenarios really happen in young kids and family, so quite connective in that sense. Actually the first book was introduced to me by my friend during secondary school days, so after that is history le. haha!
I like the kids the most! Coz Zoe is the typical bossy sister who talks faster than she thinks...and Hammie her younger brother who is always being bullied by Zoe (but they are close bro and sis though). The parents (Darryl the dad, and Wanda the mum) are kind of funny at times when especially these kids like to 'disturb' them. hee.
If you wishes to look at them, here's an archive link to view upon:
Wow! Didn't know got 'lao zhao bor' rap de. really makes me laugh lor, especially her 'hip hop dance'. lol. And because of this name, really make the old lady quite famous in her calefare acting of some shows. The recent one would be 叮当神探 (kitty kitty?!). Those who watched will know what I'm refering to. haha!

David Archuleta - Crush MV:
(the MV really aids the song...the first time I heard the song is too poppish for me le, consider David Archuleta's vocals aren't that kind of feel. The title just reminds me of 'himbo'. lol)
Lyrics to Crush
I hung up the phone tonight Something happened for the first time deep inside It was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility That you would ever feel the same way about me It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we can be, where this thing can go? Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way I do? 'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Has it ever crossed your mind When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends? Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take 'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last Last forever, forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we can be, where this thing can go? Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way I do? 'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Why do I keep running from the truth? All I ever think about is you You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone All that we can be, where this thing can go? Am I crazy or falling in love? Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you? Are you holding back like the way I do? 'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
David Cook - Light On (just music):
~still waiting for the MV before I comment on the suitability. haha.~
Lyrics to Light On
Never really said too much Afraid it wouldn’t be enough Just try to keep my spirits up When there’s no point in grieving Doesn’t matter anyway Words could never make me stay Words will never take my place When you know I’m leaving
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it’s late at night you can look inside You won’t feel so alone
You know we’ve been down that road What seems a thousand times before My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons That roll out underneath my heels And you don’t know how bad it feels To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it’s late at night you can look inside You won’t feel so alone
Sometimes it feels like we’ve run out of luck When the signal keeps on breaking up When the wires cross in my brain You’ll start my heart again When I come along
Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Something I rely on to get home One I can feel at night A naked light, a fire to keep me warm Try to leave a light on when I’m gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it’s late at night you can look inside You won’t feel so alone
Based on comments I see on net, seems more prefer David Archuleta's one. I think coz it's quite suitable for his age ba, can win over many teeny poppers' hearts. haha. But I feel the song didn't really shows his vocals much either. As for David Cook's, many commented it sounded like Daughtry pieces, and pales to David's previous renditions (maybe some of them have high expectations?) But actually I prefer David Cook's one coz it sounded more 'haunting' feel that will unearth your deepest feeling type of song. Both songs are quite marketable as they are quite commericalised and not-so-niche feel.
Well, looking forward to their full pledged albums! Hopefully the male winners from AI competitions will fare better than the females...last two seasons, the ladies did better overall.
P/S: I prefer David to Daughtry coz David can sing moving love songs pretty well, but if you prefer hard core rock that Daughtry is the man! *my sis loves Daughtry* hahaz.
This year we see a few ex-Canto-Mando Pop stars making a return.
陳小春 - 獨家記憶:
郑中基 - 怪胎 MV:
蘇永康 - 我願等 MV:
What you think about their new songs? In terms of quality, their previous hit songs are much better...but still better than some taiwan songs nowadays. In terms of 情式旋律, HK compositions are much better. But due to their pronounication, that's why they are not as well received as they ought to. Out of them, William So has the best pronounication, so he was quite famous as a singer then. While 郑中基 is more famous for his quirky actions, and 陳小春 is better at acting bad roles. Their original canto version of the above songs are much better received. Anyway, hope they continue to sing, coz not many new singers' vocals are suitable to sing love songs feel. =)
A simple gal who enjoys listening to music and engineering stuffs. Some Hong Kong and Korean shows can get my eyes fixed on TV. haha. At the moment trying my hands at music compositions (other than working). Been supportive of Wei Lian's music, a member of his fanclub and hope that many more will support him =)
