Which is the Most Irritating Song to You?

A professional market research company, One Poll has conducted a online survey on Top 10 Irritating Song of All Time. Wanna make a guess what are the songs in the list?

1. "You’re Beautiful" - James Blunt
2. "Axel F" - Crazy Frog
3. "MMMBop" - Hanson
4. "Mr. Blobby" - Mr. Blobby
5. "Birdie Song" - The Tweets
6. "Shout" - Lulu
7. "Agadoo" - Black Lace
8. "Grace Kelly" - Mika
9. "My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Dion
10. "Macarena" - Los Del Rio

Well, I personally quite like this song. I would think that the poll reflects a category error. You're Beautiful is a fine song. It just got played too much, I guess. For me, "Most irritating" should apply right at first listen.

Btw, I can't believe that Who Let The Dogs Out? by the Baha Men didn't make this list. :p

She is the Culprit!

I felt much better after an extensive kickboxing I had last evening plus the cool chill-out with friends in Pure Bar. Though I have hangover this morning, but at least I have managed to release it out.

Spoken to Joe this morning & explained to her the reason that I didn't answer her call last afternoon. She shared with me that she faced the same problem too after being with this culprit for 6 months. Her mood swung often & she suffered from depression sometimes. She knew that "she" was the one that cause this problem. So she decided to break up with her in May this year. She is leading a much happier life now.

With her experience & Ee Ting's explanation, I firmly acknowledged that I was one of the victim too! Don't worry. I'm fine but I will go to confront her this Monday!

Curious to know who is the culprit that causing our life miserable?? The birth control pills!

Mine - Yasmin

Joe - Dianne 35

In conclusion, all oral contraceptive pills are the culprit. Haha.... Just pulling your legs. It is actually very subjective. You might be sensitive to her but not to the other one! Sorry to Yasmin! Sorry to Dianne 35! Sorry to all OC pills!

Emotional Control

I'm becoming very emotional lately. I'm suspecting it was due to the effects of Yasmin. I started taking Yasmin in January of this year after surgery for endometrious. I've been an insecure depressed mess since past 3 weeks & was blaming it on the relationship until I realized that I'm not happy with any part of my life. I definitely feel like it's a chemical depression. I'm afraid it will affect my relationship with BB & my family members who has been trying to put up with me patiently. I have always been an optimistic person. Is Yasmin changing that? I guess I will need to visit my OB/GYN for further consultation as I do not & will not wanna be a slave for emotional control.

Worklife Balance

Ever think of how to release your stress? Sports, yoga, meditation, music, blogging, eating, shopping, or talking to friends? Which one is your choice?

Just came accross a piece of news from Astro News just now. A Spanish chain hotel in Madrid is planning for renovation. Prior than that, they have offered "30 highly stressed-out people" to have a chance to use the hammers, axes to vent their frustrations on tv sets, bedroom walls, beds & desks.

I think it is a fantastic idea to do so. It benefited both parties. The release of pain-relieving endorphins helped those people to feel much better & the hotel also saved the cost of hiring professionals to do the demolishing job.

So if you were given a chance to do so, would you wanna try? Smash it out! Please contact this website for further information! The choice is yours but I guess I would not do so. Too violent. Haha...

He Has Found His Love One!

Bao Xishun - born in Inner Mongolia in 1951. He is the naturally-grown tallest man in the world. Currently he is 2.36m tall & was entered the Guinness Books of Records in 2005.

Xia Shujuan, a 29-year-old saleswoman who works in a clothing store in Inner Mongolia, has been selected by Mr. Bao through his worldwide marriage advertisement.

According to Xia, as they got to know each other she stopped noticing how tall Bao is but was touched by his thoughtfulness.

Let wish much happiness to this couple.

Book Surfing

I went for book shopping at Popular during lunch hour. I was thinking to buy few self-enrichment books to read. While looking at the best buy item, I saw this book - The New Natural Family Doctor by Dr. Andrew Stanway. He provides valuable information on how to adapt our lifestyle through diet, exercise & relaxation tecniques in order to maintain good health without unnecessary medical intervention. This book contains a number of pictures. So I guess it will not bore me as I'm not really a good reader. Haha...

Then I also came accross these 2 chinese books. The author is from Taiwan & I love reading his articles. He usually gives short stories in each of the chapter & he will then concluded with piece of advice. So, the one in green is titled as "Everything can be better", meaning we must have a positive mind in handling all the problems we face daily.

While the red cover one is titled as "Don't hurt your family." He shared that when we are upset, we should not throw our temper or doing anything that hurt our love one. We should appreciate the times we share together with them. Besides, we must also learn to forgive & forget. Well, I think that I'm not doing good enough in this. I'm still learning & I really hope that one day I can be liked what is being told in this book (have read few chapters already)!

Till I share with you further once I finished reading the book.....

Is he having a sweet dream?

See this Kai Jun boy. He must be having the sweetest dream out there huh. I'm guessing what is in his dream.

Hmmm.. "Papa & Mama brought me to Tesco. I'm having fun driving the toy car. Then we had our McDonald's ice cream. Umhh.... so nice!"

Hey lazy bone, it's time to wake up. You have music class this evening. Else, you will be late.

He is very clever today. Finally he called his grandma. "Ah Ma! Ah Ma!" He shouted so loud. Clap! Clap! Clap!

Will It Grow?

I'm not a mecerdes lover but I fall in love with this young boy very much. He has actually set his alarm and gets out of bed early to do some gardening. After getting ready, he goes outside and digs a large hole. Then he buries his toy Mercedes CLK, covers it up and waters it. At the same time, he looks over his parents Mercedes CLK in anticipation.

Hope his dreams will come true one fine day.

Don McLean - Vincent (Starry, Starry Night)

Starry, starry night.
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer's day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry, starry night.
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds in violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
Colors changing hue, morning field of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they did not know how.
Perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you,
But still your love was true.
And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life, as lovers often do.
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one
As beautiful as you.

Starry, starry night.
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless head on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met,
The ragged men in the ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
How you suffered for your sanity,
How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen, they're not listening still.
Perhaps they never will...

I know this song long time ago. But I fall in love with it after following the HK series - Heart of Greed. It was mostly played during Alfred & 常在心 shot.

So I downloaded it from Yuotube. I was curious with the video clip as I see many nice paintings. Till I found out the meaning of the song from the net, then I started to realise how beautiful this song is. It captures the artist, Vincent Van Gogh's painting in the music.

McLean is trying to talk about how Van Gogh really seemed to have a message in everything and tried to make other people see the world as more beautiful and deep, to see the joy and beauty in everyday things. Van Gogh did that in his amazing paintings of everything from flowers to portraits.It's so sad that such an amazing artist, and such a strong person, killed himself, but he had fought with mental illness for so long. Don Mclean really portrays this well in this song and tries to tell people how hard he struggled in life.

This site actually tells us why Van Gogh produced the Starry Night's painting:
