Songs from the 1990's... 

Songs we listened to when we grow up, brought up the memories from your life in the past.

I grew up in the mid-90's (to be exact). 

I do listen to them once in a while. Not everyday. I wouldn't be 'reminiscing' those days in every day (but I did it once a while). I admit. I'm getting old. That is why I wrote this post. 

Frankly speaking, I don't remember the things that happened in my life clearly, just the bits and bites of it. Like I can't remember what games me and my friends played in the field back in primary school. What I do know was we enjoyed the time very much.

People around me are avid music fans. I saw they had mini radios or Walkman with them wherever they go. Yeah, I remembered my cousins used to sing to the songs on radio. I basically listened what they played. One of my cousins love singing Mariah Carey's songs. Ha, ha, ha... 

There were hundred thousands of songs in the period of time. I just select randomly from some list I found online.  

Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back

- Believe it or not, I still love this song until today. I first knew Savage Garden when I saw them on MTV (YES, not YouTube! Ha, ha, ha!). OK. It's those pop songs that common people mostly listen to on their way to work on radio. Sad to know Daniel Jones and Darren Hayes no longer together. 

 

Savage Garden - Crash And Burn

Backstreet Boys - Backstreet's Back

- They're like One Direction and Bieber in 90's. No... Let me rephrase! One Direction and Bieber are Backstreet Boys of today. That should be better. 

This music video, was one of the coolest (in my opinion) that I seen. Ya. The vampire-zombie-magic thing doesn't go out of trend, right? There's Brad-Tom in the 90's and Rob Patz-Ian for today. *burst out laughing* Again another MTV era. 

Alanis Morrissette - Ironic
- I listened to this songs, over and over again on a CD. Yes! I remember recording albums that we used to buy back then, CDs and cassettes. Costly but I enjoyed buying.
I don't buy CDs nowadays. Yes. Download them everywhere.

The Heights - How Do You Talk To Angel
- I include this song in the list because this is a meaningful song and I love the rock twist for it. I heard this song way before school!

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Underneath The Bridge
- The rock influence came from these dudes. It's one of the rock bands you will like once in a while, even you're not really a 'rock person'.

Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
- Oh my goodness!!! Britney Spears! I used to collect her posters! Such of a big fan of her... until the 'inappropriate behaviour' in public few years back. I don't listen to her songs after she married that guy (what's his name again?!).

N*Sync - Tearin' Up My Heart
- Oh my goodness (this is no typo!)!!! N*Sync! They're HUGE back then! The prime time pop music. Can't believe it was Justin Timberlake! Start playing the music, please!

N*Sync - God Must Have Spend A Little More Time On You
- This was so karaoke! Some of my friends sang them in singing competitions!

Third Eye Blind - Jumper
- Crazy nice song, from a band that I can't remember their name or songs. What the hell?! I love going to a shopping mall near my home and this song was constantly played back then, at the centre stage. One of those emo songs I listen to... almost everytime (?)

4 Non Blondes - What's Up
- Song of attitude! "And I say hey, hey... I said hey, what's going on?"... *singing toward the song*

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger
They said Beatles represent British rock, but for me it's Oasis. Love their songs! Even until today, I listen to 'Don't Look Back In Anger' frequently. Well, for me this song has way too much sentimental feelings inside. Enjoy the song...

Oasis - Little By Little

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris
- I remembered this song, from a Nicholas Cage movie. To be true, I want to play this song on my wedding in the future (if I have the chance of getting married...).
No. I didn't cry while I listen to it. Just feel sad.

Jewel - You Were Meant For Me
- I love Jewel's songs back then. Her songs were so 'real', probably because of the acoustic guitar or something. The acoustic music is still here to stay...

Sarah Mclachlan - Fallen
- For me, 'Fallen' is one of the best song written. Sarah Mclachlan didn't sing it in Adele-kind-of-powerful-vocals or the song is catchy. I love it because the simple and unique style of the song, and Sarah Mclachlan.

No Doubt - Don't Speak
- I heard this song on radio for few times a day, back in the 90's and in the 2000's. I miss No Doubt and wonder when they will reunite...

Songs from the random lists 

I don't think I did enough for this blog... Well there's always part 2 right?
Any songs that you love in the 90's and wasn't in the list, feel free to comment...

p/s: Need rest now. Be back soon, real soon!

The blogger's back!

I'm back. My finals were done, and now it's time to devote on blogging.
Here's a preview on what I'll write on my next blog post, songs from the 90's where I grew up listening to.
There's might be hundred thousand of songs throughout the 1990's, but I'll hand-picked a some, those that still listen to them today...

I'll be attending a lucky draw contest on Labour's Day which is tomorrow. Hopefully I don't go home empty-handed...

Food fight!!!

This may be a 'never-before-seen' scenario to some of you. But I had witnessed it many times, in several places...

Couple of days ago, I went for steamboat buffet dinner at a well-known restaurant in Sunway area (I'd given the big hint... So some may guessed it right which restaurant I'm addressing...).
OK. It's kinda a culture/common scenario in the restaurant, where people fight for food. Yes, typical Chinese restaurant I called it. No, people are not cutting queues or punching on each other to get the food. As I said, this is a buffet steamboat restaurant. The food has been there already. The specific food that people were fighting for was the grilled chicken wing.
If you ask me why, I can state out 2 reasons; 1. the chicken wings taste good, what my father told me, 2. limited supply. Once the chicken wings were served, it will be taken off in approximately 1 minutes.
I noticed that the chicken wings were served in every 10 minutes. Before the staff was even there, patrons started queuing up for the it! Swept off in about 1 minute!
My father 'fought' to get the chicken wings for 3 rounds. On the last round, I suggested him to take the big spoon to get as many as he wanted. And he did. I was (unwillingly) given a piece of chicken wing.

Unbelievable? You better believe it! And if some of you still don't know where exactly, ask around. It's not hard to look for it.

One fine (and terrible) Thursday...

I'm back! Been 2 weeks since I last blogged. OK. I was busy with my projects and assignments. That's it...

This blog post will be very narrative... Bear with it.

On today, I went to meet my lecturer to talk to her and pay her a social visit. Speaking on official reasons. Well, the social visit was just to have some light chat and show her a very meaningful video.

Next up, I found another of my lecturer, sitting at the table near the faculty office. I saw him first, then I only realised a friend was sitting opposite of him. That was a weird situation. That friend was kind of confused... Well, maybe my sudden turn up was kinda confusing to the whole picture. They were actually sitting on the same table, not knowing one another or talk to one another. Until I turned up... My appearance that moment was... simple said, adds a big question mark. My friend didn't expect it, so does my lecturer.
Initially I was planning to meet another lecturer but she was not in. So, I sat down with him and started chatting. I asked him about his current situation and about his former and soon-to-be-my-future profession. I had written about going to major before. Yes. I have doubts about this profession. There's no one better to talk to other than him, who had experienced in the journalism.
OK. Currently, there is 2 students who are taking Journalism major. I won't be the only one that major into Journalism. There is another friend going to the same major as I do. I'm not a loner after all...
I can't foresee what will happen in his class when I enter Journalism in the future... For sure, my friend will attend the class every time (If she doesn't, I have no idea how awkward it will get... Only me and him in the classroom).
Our conversation lasted for almost 2 hours.

Next thing on the day, I went to settle some pending issues with the students' council. OK. Problem kind of sorted. Need some clarification.

Then I reached office. Well, I didn't do anything there... Just sat there to pass the time...
This was when I went out to buy the expired snack...! Yes! Expired! I didn't notice it until I saw the description behind. What the hell?!
I had minor food poisoning symptoms just now. I'm fine, up to this point.

3 words to sum up my Thursday: good, weird and bad.

That's it for now.

p/s: I'll continue writing the story and update on the Kedah trip.
