Penning Something 5

Wrote a new R&B ballad today! Envisioned Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia singing this one. It's about having enough of your partner's lies and deceit, and finally leaving him.

"Pretence"

Verse 1
2am in the morn'
I called you on your phone
You told me that you would be home

I waited on the line
Nobody picked the call
I thought it's just another lie

Pre-Chorus
You promised that you gon' be lovin' me
You promised that you gon' be true to me
You promised to be honest
You promised to be real
But now you're full of lies and deceit

Chorus
So it was just pretence
And it's all pretence

Verse 2
You said you'd treat me right
So just stay by your side
But I think I could do this no more

When I'm not on your mind
You just ain't doin' right
You got another chick in your ride

Pre-Chorus (x1)

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
Now I see the truth
You just made me a fool
I'm o-ver you

Time to say goodbye
I know I gotta try
Try to live without you

Pre-Chorus (x1)

Chorus (To fade)

The Story Of Toys Part 3

One word -- FANTASTIC. The best one out of all 3!!!

My favourite toys would have to be Mr and Mrs Potato, the 3 aliens and peas-in-a-pod. Haha best moment was Mr Potato using the tortilla and cucumber as make-shift bodies. And Barbie + Ken!

I'm not gonna spoil the rest for you so if you haven't caught this brilliant animated feature, YOU ARE MISSING OUT BIG TIME.

Rating: 5/5

Don't Stop Believin'

Heard about the massive flood at Orchard which happened during my exam today. Saw the photos, it was crazy. Never seen anything that serious in a while. Especially at Orchard Road!



Hey, was that Wendy's?? So Wendy's took over Burger King. Now I know. But it got flooded. BK must be thinking, "Thank goodness we let out this outlet! Imagine the loss we would have suffered! And the clean-up!" Yes BK. Good for you. Poor Starbucks too.

Anyway, today's exam was alright. Basically puked out whatever I could. A few questions were not very well written but I still hope that I can do well.

I think flash mobs are cool. Browsed YouTube yesterday watching videos of flash mobs. Posted one on Facebook which I thought should happen in schools more often. Makes life more interesting. Then there's another kind, the freeze flash mob where people just freeze in whatever they're doing for 5 minutes or so. Here's one that I found which happened in Paris, involving about 3000 people. 3000!!! That's a huge number. I wonder how much planning went into this.

I Wanna Be A Billionaire

Exam next Wednesday. I hope I can score this!

These few days were quite mundane. Memorising stuff for the exam while pacing around in my room, and writing songs. But I like to write songs so it wasn't all that boring. Haha. I wanna learn how to produce! That way I can actually put out my written songs for people to listen to and feedback on.

I need to choose another elective to take next semester but have yet to find one.

Toy Story 3 is a must-watch! And I'm currently hooked on Xtina's new album. You guys need to check it out if you haven't.

Anyway, came across this awesome song because Britney tweeted about it!

Penning Something 4

I told you I'm on a writing spree today. This next song is a guitar-driven ballad. Something along the lines of Hot Chelle Rae's "Bleed". It's about a man whose relationships never work out and he thought he finally met a girl of his dreams only to have his heart broken again. Sad huh. And the song's more of a story as you read the lyrics.

"Broken"

Verse 1
I used to be a man with a broken heart
But ever since I saw your face
You go through my mind
Every night

So I really hope to see you again
I think I really need you, I
I want to make you mine

Chorus
I wish that you could
Stay by my side
Just for a little while

And the music's playin'
It's pouring outside
I just wanna hold you tight
Tonight

Verse 2
As I was walking down the street one day
I happen to see you just passing right by
So I took the chance and I
Ran up to you and said, "Hey, what's your name?"

But you just smiled and walked away
And then my heart broke to pieces
When I saw you're already with a man

Chorus (x1)

Bridge
And I'm broken
Broken
And I'm broken
Broken again

Chorus (x1)

Penning Something 3

Came up with the melody and lyrics within an hour. My favourite out of all written thus far. Wrote this while envisioning Colbie Caillat singing it. This song is totally her. It sounds like any other Colbie Caillat song! Haha. It's about being there for your loved one.

"Keep Holding On"

Verse 1
So tonight
The stars are bright
I'm with you
If you need someone too

Hold my hand
And stay the night
Everything's gonna be alright

Chorus
Just keep holding on
I'm right beside you
Just keep holding on
I won't forsake you

Please don't give up because
I won't give up on you, you, you

Verse 2
By now you
Should know that
I love you
As much as you do too

If you need
A place to run to
I got you

Chorus (x1)

Post-Chorus
Keep holding on
I'm right beside you
Keep holding on
I won't forsake you

Chorus (x1)
Post-Chorus (To fade)

Penning Something 2 (Part III)

I'm on a writing spree today. Completed this Dance/Club song!

"Put Your Hands Up"

Chorus
Put your hands up

In the air

Shake your body in the club

Don't give a care

Move your two feet

Whip your hair

Just go all out and play

Without a care

In-the-world

Oh-oh-ohh (x8)

Verse 1

It's a Friday night

Join us for a ride

Throw your troubles away

You know you gon' stay

On the dancefloor I say

Bust your moves go crazy

Be happy say hey

On this night of party

Chorus (x1)

Verse 2

And all around the world

People having fun I hear

So what you waiting for

Just get down on the floor

Chorus (x1)

Put your hands up (x4)

So yea. As with all Dance/Club songs, this one has no meaning as well. Haha. It's just about letting go and having fun. Anyway, I think it feels more like an Urban/Dance song. Like Flo Rida mashed with David Guetta.

Penning Something 2 (Part II)

Ok I need to put my Dance/Club song aside because I wrote another new song. It's a Contemporary Country ballad this time. Finished the lyrics within an hour! I feel that this is the best song I've written. Not that I've done a lot of songs, I know. Anyway, I wrote this song for my Dad. It's a song about regret and pain after losing a loved one.

Hey Dad, this song is for you:

"Now You're Gone"

Verse 1
I was wrong
To be
I was wrong
To treat you that way

But I can't
Change the fact
That I chose
To push you away

Chorus
Wish that I could turn back time
I can't accept that you're gone
You're gone
Wish that I could treat you right
Why did you leave me this way
This way

Now're you gone, gone, gone (x3)
You're gone

Verse 2
Here I am
Today
How I hoped
That you were right by my side

But regret
and shame
Has plagued me right up
Till this day

Chorus (x1)

Bridge:
As I saw your face
In my dreams
I wished that I could have changed

To have you here
And watch me grow
From a boy right to a man

Chorus (x1)

Penning Something 2

I said I wanted to do an R&B song but I ended up writing a Dance/Club song. Title is "Put Your Hands Up" and the song starts off with the chorus. Verses will be tougher to come up with.

Chorus:
Put your hands up
In the air
Shake your body in the club
Don't give a care

Move your two feet
Whip your hair
Just go all out and play
Without a care

In-the-world

Oh-oh-ohh (x4)

You Wanna Get Crazy?

Copped Xtina's new album today!!! "Bionic" is really awesome. Stand-outs include title track "Bionic", first single "Not Myself Tonight", the Nicki Minaj assisted "Woohoo", "Glam" and the ballads "Lift Me Up" plus "You Lost Me".

She's not my favourite artist for nothing, you know.
