Coldplay

As i was lying on my double decker bed in my room, i heard a strange yet familiar song coming from my antique radio. I moved aside to face my radio and turned up the volume. I know, its 'Clocks' from Coldplay, the British band. Eventhough i have been a fan of them for decades, i still find it odd whenever i hear that song being played on the radio. What i love most about their music is that the tunes are usually soft and haunting. Believe me when i say tehat the songs belted out by lead vocalist can lull you to sleep in a matter of minutes. Chris Martin, the vocalist who is married to actress Gwyneth Paltrow, possesses this incredible voice that can drain away all your worries and sorrows when you listen to his songs. Whenever i feel sad or resentful, i always listen to songs like, 'Life in Techicolor', 'In my place', and 'Yellow'. The soft subtle music of the songs help me to mellow down and relax as i sip a cup of sizzling hot Lipton tea. Then i will fall asleep instantly. Looks like i dont need an aspirin afterall. I have my own musical remedy, and that is the british band Coldplay.
Maybe in the future, Coldplay will win an award for the most coolest alternative rock of all time. I would definitely vouch for that.

My Favourite Singer

She has thick wavy hair
She has dark tanned skin
She is the only girl in the world
That makes you dance and twirl


She hails from an exotic land
Her first name reminds you of a bird
Many eyes are captivated by her smile
You want to stop and stare for awhile


She is a world renowned fashionista
I bet every woman envy her
She was never seen to cringe or frown
Eventhough she got punched by Chris Brown


Rihanna is her lovely name
The universe is on her soft finger tips
Nobody can snare her from the world of music
As long as she continues to move her lips

Chinese New Year

Every year in Malaysia, the Chinese New Year celebration is celebrated with a 'big bang'. Eventhough im not a chinese, im always overwhelmed by the 'magic' of this 'Lunar New Year' celebration. When this celebration is brought up in a conversation between me and my chinese buddies, i always conjure up images of fireworks, red envelopes filled with money, and throngs of chinese families flocking into a variety of restaurants to enjoy their reunion dinner with their loved ones. This annual celebration amazes me because its theme of celebration to the chinese calendar whereby every year is marked by different kinds of animals such as the tiger, horse, monkey etc. This year is the year of the rabbit, so that explains the colourful symbols of rabbits in the TV commercials. I watched the news recently and i saw thousands of chinese people going all delirious in the midst of the preparation of this auspicious celebration, people were seen buying rabbits for good luck, and here's the um, the downside of this 'rabbit' year, it seems that cetain irresponsible people were desecrating the main purpose of this celebration by abusing animals, and yes, you've guessed it, the animals are ironically the main theme of this celebration, RABBITS. Some of the chinese citizens in mainland china 'deprive' the rabbits of their fur and kill them for some sick reason. So, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals decided to take matters into their own hands by protesting on the streets of mainland China wearing very little clothing. So much for the happy celebration.. :-)
