"The River Of Dreams" In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep From the mountains of faith To a river so deep I must be looking for something Something sacred I lost But the river is wide And it's too hard to cross And even though I know the river is wide I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore And try to cross to the opposite side So I can finally find out what I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the valley of fear To a river so deep And I've been searching for something Taken out of my soul Something I would never lose Something somebody stole I don't know why I go walking at night But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life Until I find what it is that I've been looking for In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep Through the jungle of doubt To a ri...

心有独钟 作词：洪尧斌 作曲：洪尧斌 编曲：屠颖 这种感觉从来不曾有　左右每天思绪 每一次呼吸　心被占据 却苦无医　是你让我著了迷 给了甜蜜又保持距离　而你潇洒来去 玩爱情游戏　我一天天失去勇气 偏偏难了难忘记 单单为你心有独钟　因为爱过才知情多浓 浓得发痛在心中　痛全是感动 我是真的真的与众不同 真正为你心有独钟　因为有你世界变不同 笑我太傻太懵懂　或爱得太重 只为相信我自己　能永远对你的心独钟 Do you know this song?  I realized  last Saturday that I can remember the lyrics by heart!  Funny that I wasn't even a fan of Daniel's by any standard but then again, this song was probably playing on 933 every day, that's probably why.   Hao-e and I were at the Polygram concert last Saturday.  The median age of the audience was probably around 40 since Polygram was instrumental in the 80's - 90's canto-pop industry.  We were there mainly because of Linda Wong...  Hao-e's teenage idol crush. Ha!  Although she looked a little matronly, she was friendly, chatty and she sounded very good.  She has never impressed me with her vocals, every time I hear her songs on Hao-e's PC I always think, yeah, she was an idol singer i.e. more looks than ...

If you have been catching "Scent of a Woman" religiously every weekend like I have, you'll understand my obsession with this song sung by Kim Junsu, originally from TVXQ, currently a JYJ member.

I am shamelessly plugging this song for Beyonce. Go listen to "If I were a boy". It's a powerful powerful song about the immaturity of the male species. I have it on my other blog too if you cannot find it on youtube. http://joopsfavsongs.blogspot.com/

If you haven't noticed, this is my current favourite taiwanese singer - he's not good-looking (he's not fugly either) but boy, do i lurve his voice. his name: 蕭敬騰. (doesn't his name sound just like some of those wuxia heroes??) this song comes from his debut album released in june 2008. talent = 蕭敬騰. 作詞：陳鎮川 作曲：蕭敬騰 專輯：同名專輯 城市里 人影交替 有多少 機會交集 不期然相遇 意外的美麗 心動的默契 Oh 愛 是變得很想依賴 愛 是想要陪你醒來 Oh 愛 想向你在未來 一輩子存在 眼眶里 季節交替 記憶里 人來人去 我們都年輕 別害怕愛情 讓真心證明 是關於期待 那一句對白 讓我懂了愛 感覺終究無可替代 Oh 愛 是變得很想依賴 愛 是想要陪你醒來 Oh 愛 想向你在未來 一輩子存在 是想要陪你醒來 Oh 愛 想向你在未來 想做你　一輩子的愛

Heard this on the radio this morning - i mean, i couldn't get it out of my head. then again, a lot of things don't seem to wanna get out of my head. ah well, so we were chuckling in the car... enjoy...

Have you guys watched painted skin 画皮? I watched it early on this week and i must say i enjoyed it. Of course there's always a kick in watching a movie that has just been released. (it's just been released end-sept, if you want to know where i found it, send me an email...) It is supposedly based on a 聊斋 story - you know those stories with the supernatural elements - fox spirits, snake spirits, rock spirits, ghosts, etc. 陈坤's character has been compared to 张国荣's 宁采臣 (remember that? 王祖贤 was 小倩 the ghost, they fell in love blah blah...), but this time it's a foxy spirit 周迅 we're talking about, who's infatuated with 陈坤. 赵薇 is the wife who knows of 周迅's real identity, but guess what? no one believes her; not even her husband! so she turns to 甄子丹 for help to prove that she was right. 赵薇 gradually loses trust in her husband as she senses him being bewitched by the fox. 陈坤 finds himself being tempted but tries so so hard to stay true (aww..); he even rejected 周...
