IDNHU.

I JUST HAD TO DO THIS before i slept. Kelly Clarkson performing "I Do Not Hook Up" which was a fabulous live performance. :D so here it is:

and i'm off to sleep

Paparazzi.

Hello Strangers.

i'm just gonna be doing an update and sharing of some stuff. Not gonna be too much bullshit info, so lets first start off by saying that school starts tomorrow. 

YES. SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. OMG. EURGHH. Yaye, now let me sing to the heavens because i'm a second year student who's doing finance stuff. I wrote on facebook: 

"Marcus is psyched for school tomorrow. He really can't wait. He's been looking forward to school ever since it ended a month and a half ago......"

Right, so i'm being awfully sarcastic but i really don't wana start school. But i'm really excited for duty tomorrow with Bertram Khoo and to meet my BFAS's! :D so... its a love-hate thing. i've no idea why i'm so long-winded today. tsk tsk. 

Oh. i've been really bored because i've got lots of free-time now. And so i watched HANNAH MONTANA THE MOVIE YESTERDAY! don't ask me why i watched it. I don't really like Miley Cyrus, but still. TYRA BANKS APPEARED IN IT! She and Miley were having a shoe fight. HILARIOUS! hahaha. Taylor Swift also did a cameo. :)

Lady Gaga is known for her hit singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". She was also said to be releasing a new single, "Lovegame", which turned out to be false because the video for "Paparazzi" had been shot a few days ago. Below are 4 stills from the shoot. I'm so EXCITED for the video. 

I've put a youtube window below for you to stream the song to give it a listen. As usual, since its a Lady Gaga song, it's probably gonna do really well on the charts. :D Enjoy!

Onto other music news, there is a new artist you should take note of. Her name? Jessie James!!!! She sang "Blue Jeans" for the Confessions Of A Shopaholic Soundtrack. Her debut single, "Wanted" is fantastic! Its edgy and up-beat! It's a bit country-like to a certain extent? But i don't really know what kinda genre it is anyways. LOL

Her voice is slightly like Christina Aguilera's actually. Listen carefully to the chorus. It has the same power and tone to it. Also, the song was written by herself and 3 more writers. One of them being Kara DioGuardi. :) So below is a stream for the song. Enjoy it! 

Kelly Clarkson's single "My Life Would Suck Without You" premiered at #97 and jumped to #1 in just one week, showing you that she's still....the best. Her newest single, "I Do Not Hook Up" is a fantastic track written by Katy Perry. Her video just leaked yesterday, and here it is (in bad quality). 

In my honest opinion, the video doesn't really make much sense. Even though i LOVE the song, she could've done better for the video. I was laughing at certain bits. LOL. Oh yeah, does she really need to sing onstage in every video she shoots? IDK how many there have been of her singing on a stage. She's not that amateur/uncreative anymore right..... Still, give it a shot, and share my sentiments. :)

AHHH! One last video for you! This is quite old! But i thought it was really cute. It's a parody of Destiny's Child. If you don't know, there are not only 3 members in the group. There was Beyonce, Michelle Williams, Kelly Rowland, Letoya Luckett, LaTavia and Farrah. I don't remember the last 2 anyways. But watch it. It's not even an official parody, as you can tell. But it still got me cracking. LOL.

Alrights. THIS WEEK! ALL the shows are showing!!! As in, Desperate Housewives and Gossip Girl comes back. So remember to watch them all! Finally, i've got a haircut! and its drastic. But i'm not sure if its exactly fantastic. But yeah, its.......short. :)

That's all! so i shall end my post here.
xoxo,
Marcus.

Come Late, Come Peace.

Hello Strangers.

Well, February is seeing its last few days as the month, ending on the 28th. That's a mere 7 days! Right. So, its good to know that i'm done with 2 papers, and have 2 left. Macroeconomics and Financial Markets. I'm so exhausted by the mugging i've been through the last 3-4 days. Its insane how tiring it is to do last minute mugging. Anyhoots, its really comforting to know that i've got only a week left! well, 6 days to be exact. I so cannot wait for this to end! 

Anyways, i found this website where we could create words like those, below. Well, actually, i just entered in my blog address and it appeared like that. its a really cool thing, and it has lots of designs. great for my future presents! :D so, go find the website yourself because i might consider giving you a present, just considering! 

Kelly Clarkson's album "All I Ever Wanted" leaked yesterday with short clips of it, and the full album leaked today. have yet to hear the full album, but i don't think the clips sound very fantastic. Both ways, i hope it does grow on you, do go get a listen to them! Most of her songs are written by herself, and others like Katy Perry, Kara DioGuardi and Ryan Tedder. 

Whilst we are still on music, Alexis Grace's performance on American Idol was stunning. It was so powerful and soulful. :D I'm gonna be watching her throughout the competition! heh. 

Yeah, read the ugly-ass title. ANTM Cycle 12 girls have been revealed for a while now, and i dont know, i just dont think its gonna be a fantastic cycle. maybe its still the demoralizing exams mood that's killing my hopes. oh dammmn. 

So i dont know if you've noticed that Sony has been marketing a new product. Yeah, its called the Rolly. Its interesting, if you have already watched the clip above. I've not much to say other than its rather pointless. LOL. 

Hope you have a great weekend! 

xoxo,

An Update 2

So, lets' continue! 

In case you never knew, Paris Hilton is branching out into various sources in order to establish a proper source of income. These diversifications include music, perfumes and......TV Shows. Last year, Paris Hilton had a reality show to find a new best friend. It was named: "Paris Hilton: My New BFF". This year, she's up for another since her..."new BFF" left her after all. and is back with: "Paris Hilton's British Best Friend", aka. BBF.

I wonder how far she's gonna go to permutate the B's and F's in that. Oh, and how many cities she's gonna go to in order to find a true best friend. A constant question that popped up in my mind? WHY BRITAIN.....?!

I watched "Inkheart" yesterday, and it was fantastic! Haven't enjoyed such a movie in quite a while. Not to mention its marvelously handpicked actors. :D No, i'm not talking about Brendan Fraser...

So anyways, I'm looking forward to this! "The Pink Panther 2", which would be released in Singapore on 19th March. Well, i laughed my ass off for the first movie, especially during the hamburger pronunciation scene! LOL! Steve Martin is extremely hilarious! :D Have i ever mentioned the similarity of looks between Steve Martin and that of John McCain?! LOL!

Also, since we're on the topic of movies, there's gonna be a Charlie's Angels third movie installment! :D I'm really psyched about this because its probably gonna be a blast! It's in the making this year, so lets hope it comes out next year!

I haven't exactly shared music in a while. So i'm gonna share with you this song by Beyonce. Its entitled "Broken Hearted Girl", which is not her single. Her single is "Halo", which is also great, but i like Broken Hearted Girl, better. So do give it a listen! :D

I've also included a cover version of the song by Rin On The Rox. They're really good, might not shine very well for this song, but they're fantastic harmonizers! so hope you like this cover too! I personally prefer Rin's voice. :D

In addition to this, Kelly Clarkson has released her video to her song "My Life Would Suck Without You". I'm sure most of you would've found out that the song is highly addictive and grows even more on you when as you listen. :D

Hope you liked it! :D With this, i shall end off my long post here!

Lots and lots of love,

Marcus. 

My Life Would Suck Without You.

AMERICAN IDOL premieres tonight! i really cant wait to see this whole season of AI! After all, there is someone whom i'm really looking forward to see. The new judge, Kara DioGuardi. She's a very talented singer/songwriter. And i've done some research on the lady. She composed songs for Hilary Duff, Katharine McPhee, Kelly Clarkson, The Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Celine Dion, and many more.

but singers alone does not do her justice. Apologize and Stop And Stare was co-written by her. Nick Lachey's What's Left Of Me, David Archuleta's Crush, Kelly Clarkson's Walk Away are just some of the songs written by her. No doubt, she might not be as talented as The Clutch; but give her credit for being so talented as a solo writer!

So, i never really did see how she looked like, until yesterday when i watched an interview online. and i thought, wow. she does look very familiar. Doesn't she look like Katharine McPhee? So here's the comparison. Above is the picture of Kara and below is the one of Katharine. Hmmm. must be the hair, eyes, and bone structure. LOL!

Oh yes, she's quite gorgeous for her age. she's 38, and she can sing! so i decided to find something to hear her voice. so here's it.



AHHH! I'm also looking very forward to watching Red Cliff 2! yes, the second "episode" as they put it. but i dont know china movies that are called "episodes". anyways, the first one was good, and i've heard the second was a smash. :D so... YEAH!

For music, Kelly Clarkson has had her single "My Life Would Suck Without You", leaked! :D finally..... the song isn't the best of her singles to date, but its catchy and very like-able. it grows on you, like many other songs. its fantastic now that i've had it on repeat for so long. :D here's the song in a youtube video! hope you like it!:



The week has been rather rough. Started out with a horrendous Statistics test, which i'd probably funk. uhh, and yeah. got a presentation this Friday. and i'm just dying to keep up because next Tuesday is my macroeconomics test. :D lovely right, poly?

right.. talking about this, the o level results came out this week! Congrats to all the O Level results receivers! and those who didnt do as well, keep working hard! its not the end yeah? :D

alright. that's all for today. catch you guys soon! :D
xoxo,
Marcus.

All I Ever Wanted

And so it was a few days back that i blogged about Kelly Clarkson and her new single, "My Life Would Suck Without You", that would be released on the 19th of this month! Well, i'm glad to say that the song officially sounds FANTASTIC! :D

how and why? well, basically, Amazon has released a 30second clip. so DO CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND GIVE IT A LISTEN!!

I do have to warn those fans who loved her album "My December". This is mainly due to the fact that some of you guys might not like her old sound. (you know that she was trying to find her own style...) but this is just way back to the pop/rock genre. i still prefer it tough!!

and in addition to that, her new album art has also been released! Her studio album - All I Ever Wanted; is set to be released on the 17th of March 2009, so i'm really looking forward to it just like how those Kelly Clarkson fans out there are! :D I am still really disappointed over BOTH of these pictures tough! whats with them?! lol.

LISTEN HERE!

with that, i conclude this post. on a note that Open House has been fulfilling. lots of talking and interaction. i'm glad that tomorrow is the last day of Open House because its really strenuous! but otherwise, its been wonderful! :D

With Lots Of Love,
Marcus.

as for you, please. i dont know what to do, and what is going on. tell me.

Welcome 2009!

In a swift, 2008 has gone by and bid its last farewell. Albeit late, i wish you a Happy New Year and welcome you to the year of 2009! I initially did want to do my new year resolutions and all. But due to my procrastination, i dont think i would do so. it seems rather inappropriate now that 7 days have already passed. :S

So, moving on. The month of January has much to look forward to. One of these would be the results of my common test. Well, i've already got one paper, which is really not very flattering........ so yeah. However, January would, itself holds great moments. So, MARK THEM DOWN! Yes, Gossip Girl is coming back! OR RATHER, has come back, just yesterday it made its 14th run of Season 2. No that i've watched it at present, but i hear there's much to expect from this season. We all like how juicy shows can get. Well, for this season, its gonna get juicer. :D Running for 25 episodes, we're only slightly more than halfway done!

Remember Georgina Sparks? yes, the character played by the very talented and bitchy-charactered Michelle Trachtenberg is gonna come back, says the producers of Gossip Girl. You know we love how dark and mysterious this girl is, and how we hate her evil ways. Well, its a love/hate relationship after all...

Oh, and dont forget to mark the 14th of January down! This is when American Idol returns, with its 8th run! They're dishing out seasons like it doesnt cost a cent huh! I'm oddly looking forward to this season. Just that gut that there are gonna be much competition amongst the singers cuz they'll be so so SO good.... Oh well, we do need our seasonal dose of laughter from the auditions, right? :D

Maybe they're running them back to back so quickly because of the popularity of this series. Look at Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Katharine McPhee, Kellie Pickler, Chris Daughtry, Jennifer Hudson. All making it quite big in the music scene. :D Anyways! i'm looking forward to Kara DioGuardi!

You better be ready and you better love her, because Kelly Clarkson is releasing her new single entitled "My Life Would Suck Without You" on the 19th of January! Although not that highly anticipated, i hope she jumps straight back into contemporary music like the ones she used to do and STOP EXPERIMENTING! :D

AND! Not forgetting NGEE ANN POLY'S OPEN HOUSE 2009!
i cant wait for this event. There's been tonnes and tonnes of preparation that we have done for this open house, and i really wana do my best! So, please do come visit our Open House, even if you're already in the school! :D From the 8th-10th of January 2009 from 11am-6pm!

Ahhh. So this is where i end my long, draggy post. Hope you've had a wonderful start to your new year, and i'll keep this updated soon! :D

With Love,
Marcus.
