Where We Are - Westlife (Smokin' New Music)

24 hours.

As you see the snow is falling down again, you know it’s Christmas time!! I love this season. Not that I’m a Christian (because I’m not…). Me, simply loving the atmosphere of Christmas songs filled the air.

Right on time. It’s Westlife(clickable)! They usually would have a brand new album during this snowy season.

After seeing the 10 Years of Westlife Live at Croke Park Stadium for almost two hours, I (frankly) had a mixed feeling.

On top of the part they are my innocent childhood idols (and I proudly bought different versions of their same albums), they sang undeniably well in the 83,000 audiences concert but I doubted they were as great as they were used to be. Shane’s voice was finely husky (growing as a real man instead of regressing) and Mark’s was diva-ing and loving the homo edition of himself. “You’re flying without wings…” Anyway, I still sang along their crooning songs.

Come back to the current album, Where We Are, it’s the tenth album from the Irish boyband. Besides covering Daughtry’s What About Now, another twelve (12) songs are originals. I realize that they are still the best boyband ever in my life time. Okay, I also love The Beatles. But they are dead.

There is a reason why this album is a great success – Simon Cowell is the executive producer. I truly salute his taste and knowledge, in pop music industry. Not fashion.

5 strongly recommended songs from Where We Are:

1. No More Heroes
2. Talk Me Down
3. Leaving
4. Shadows
5. The Difference

FYI, Westlife garnered 14 number one singles in the United Kingdom, the third-highest in UK history, trailing behind only Elvis Presley and The Beatles. But they are NOT doing teen pop anymore. As I’m blogging about Westlife, I apparently kinda miss that genre.

Buy the album if you have money! It’s totally worth your money. More than enough.

That’s all for now. And Merry Christmas.

For your visual pleasure, only.

Hmmm… Irresistible. And I totally LOVED it. I’m sure it’s absolutely gonna be my second, third, forth, fifth, sixth… Visitation to the crowded stall.

Silently, I received your message at 11 o’clock. At night.

I gazed at my inbox for 5 minutes, blissfully. I smiled.

It's not over.

I knew that your unread message was magical. I was woken, pleased and convinced.

For a reason, you care for me. I truly hope so.

But…

It was 10 PM in Bangkok. You were with him.

Again, I’m late. One-hour late.

Again, I’m late. Six-year late.

Please lemme in.

I’m just LATE.

你是哑巴！！！！你不会开口说话。

你是耳聋！！！！我说了你又不听。

别以为你自己很了不起！我其实已经忍了你很久！

哼~~~

虽然你这么多日子以来帮了我不少忙，但你也在我生活中添加了不少麻烦啊！

没想到你今天还竟然花了我一整天的工钱。你要我怎么原谅你啊？

你乖乖好吗？别再气我了！

小蓝的骑士 笔

Time passed. When I was bigger but young, I did not want to explain to myself why I was such a failure in fishing. You know, the swimming fish had seemed to get near to me but in the end I became disappointed as none was successfully captured. Consequently, I knew that the fish behaved like the birds.

Now, I am no longer a little boy. Biggerer. I started to realize that a thing happens for a reason. I could always learn to explain every occurrence. The birds were scared. The fish were terrified. Blah blah blah… Just any sucky explanation will do a consolation.

Unlike them, I was gormless and never being self-protective. Sadly, I was left behind by the birds and disappointed by the fish.

Perhaps, I should have acted like them. By nature, being cautious about any risk of getting hurt. No!! Not paranoid! Just more lifelike.

Malaysia Property and Real Estate Investment (PropWall)

PropWall is an online property and real estate website which is also an informative platform where you can discover a wide range of properties and real estates in Malaysia. For every property and realty, the website provides detailed facts, such as the layouts and available facilities. Multiple photos and clear maps are attached together for each of them. Besides, it also allows its members to connect and get answers to their inquiries.

Marc Residence, KLCC (SkyscraperCity)

One interesting section of the website is the ranking. Currently, Marc Residence retains its No. 1 PropWall ranking. FYI, it is a luxurious condominium consists of two blocks developed by Beverly Tower Development. Furthermore, ranking second and third are Dua Residency and Kiaraville, respectively.

The BEST part is that PropWall helps you professionally analyze the properties whether they are worth for investments. It provides a quick assessment of the attractiveness and weakness for each property. Thus you are confident and advisedly one step ahead of your vibrant properties.

Nevertheless, PropWall can be more successfully useful if more advertisers take part in the potential market to promote the properties, business and services on the website so it has more potential to evolve into a major property and real estate agent.

Although the room rental posted online is categorized according to different locations, the website does not sort the search results accordingly by the most recent update or relevance, even as the search engine is Google Custom Search.

But speaking of unlimited resources, this is the best website for you. So…. Are you packing up already?

They don’t need me, somehow!

Mes neveux et moi

Both of them are my eldest brother’s well-educated but spoiled sons. The elder is Chia Qi aged 8 and the younger is Chia Yi aged 5. And I have to say, the brothers are more playful than I was when I was a little boy. Perhaps, smarter.

Chia Qi played the computer games non-stop; more than 6 hours. Of course, I knew that his eyes would be damaged so I tried to stop him from looking at the monitor screen by offering him some slices of pizzas. But well… He knew that he needed to get back to the games. He minimized the window and showed me the Desktop wallpaper. But after less than 1 minute, he continued the games. Occasionally, he screamed out loud as his character level was upped. Happy ‘Pokémon’ Holiday!

Chia Yi was slightly laughable. Usually, he sat beside his brother in front of the computer and waited for his turn. But his turn seemed to be wasted most of the time. Hence, I let him play the childish games from my laptop. Avoiding the bombs, feeding the fishes, shooting the birds… Okay, my games. Sometimes I wanted to use my laptop and he ironically pretended that he could read the newspapers beside me – waiting for his turn again. Then he would turn on the television and enthusiastically explain to me his favourite cartoon biography before the ‘Play’ button was pressed.

Mmm hmmm… My dear nephews.
