Ushering in 2010

New Year Resolutions:

1. Work hard towards that Honours C.A.P.

2. Compose full songs. I don't know what the definition of 'proper' is, but hopefully my inspration won't run dry 3 minutes after completing the lyrics.

3. Stop those insane hissy-fits, and tell you how I feel instead.

4. Find something I'm really passionate about and commit to it, be it charitable work or a part-time assignment.

5. Stop judging heartbreaks. I have this obsessive habit of analysing broken relationships and allowing them to overwhelm me when they're obviously none of my business. I should just concentrate on keeping my own relationship happy.

6. Sing with my heart.

Yup, I think that's all I can shoulder this year, because I don't want to risk overpromising and underdelivering. I won't draw up a million plans just to sound ambitious and fail myself at the end of the year. This year holds alot of promises and hopes not solely to myself, but also unto people, and I'm excited to see how each of my steps is going to take me.

And what greater way to start of the year but with music?

Honestly, I used to dislike Rainie, because I thought she was being pretentious and fake with that cutsey image of hers on TV shows. Well, I forgot she lives in a world called showbiz, and that's what she has to deliver. Period. Rainie&Love, I believe, stems from her role in Hi My Sweetheart海派甜心, an idol drama series with Rainie and Show羅志祥 playing the protagonists. So the her record company probably jumped onto the money-making bandwagon and produced this album, so that the her songs in the OST could be included in her album. And this probably attributed to the lacklustre quality of those songs which were not from the show's OST; it was as though they simply sieved through their song bank and picked a few cute songs randomly to include. That took ALOT of points from her album. Conclusion? The only listen-worthy tracks are those in the OST, like 《In Your Eyes》(a really sweet and simple duet with Show), 《青春鬥》,《雨愛》and《匿名的朋友》. Most of the other songs are just like dental fillers. I'll give it 2.5 out of 5.

Plus I'm starting the countdown for David's The Rock and Talk Show, on 8th January 2010! I'm hoping his vocals will be in tip-top condition this time, as compared to his last concert in Singapore, because I'm bringing Jack this time! And of course we get only the best seats. :)
