Crap Spot.com: 2010

Ok. I have not been updating here since donkey years ago. It is simply because my life has become so mudane and so inspiring that I have nothing interesting to write. I can't be writing about me going to school, mug, eat, tuition, sleep those sort of stuff right?

Ok a quite update. Yours truly have just graduated, not officially though, still waiting for the administration to confer me the degree. So my 20+ years of academic life ends. so many years of studying, tests, exams and it all comes down to that piece of paper, which determines your future, or not. I am definitely not going to miss the 'studying' part of school, but definitely going to miss the 'non-academic' part of school life, talking cock during meals and breaks, doing funny things in lecture to keep myself and my friends awake, all the late nights doing things not related to studies. Well, I shall be looking forward to working life, and financial freedom!

Over the past few months, the television series, Glee has been getting a lot of 'attention' from me. It was recommended to me by one friend in HK, but i didn't get to watch it till I get back to SG. And once i watched the first episode, I was literally hooked. I love the semi-musical style of this series. And there seems to be many stereotypical labels throughout the plot and the characters that makes it really interesting. Sometimes, the storyline is just so-so and some of the episodes are rather meaningless. However, a few good episodes can literally save the whole series.

This series also brought back a lot of english hits from the past, as well as featuring modern pop hits. Don't Stop Believing is one classic that has been revived. Seriously, I have not even heard of this song before i watch Glee and Don't Stop Believing is such a classic that should be 'popularised' in this modern era. Many of these songs are on my iPod reruns and I would say I never get sick of some of these songs.

It set me thinking, would it be possible to produce a chinese version of Glee, bringing back hits from the 70s, 80s and featuring some really good tunes from modern chinese pop. Hmm.... perhaps some taiwan producers can do this and get together a talented cast to perform. Possible?

Some of the songs that wow-ed me.

北京欢迎你，为你开天辟地，流动中的魅力充满了朝气！
The plane was playing this song over the PA when I touched down in Beijing!

Well, Beijing is a city I had always wanted to visit. The last time i went was in 1995 and 15 years later, it's a totally different place!

The Old Beijing!
