I Wish I'm Paolo Nutini

Barring Westlife, BSB, and Take That(you guys are the best!) i can't seem to digest the musical exploits of teenage boys and boys in their 20's whether them being a group (boybands) or a solo artist (mostly a boyband ex-numbers).

These artists/performers generally gave me the impression of them being gay - though a former member of westlife confessed that he's indeed one -

For example; jesse mccartney, whose voice is so boyish you might wonder how he'll sing his numbers once he is, say... 30 years old? and also from the dancing type like n'sync which i
believe with their synchronised steps and pumping energy while doing so, would've delighted sir elton john's weeny if not for justin's gossip with britney spears when she was still young and innocent, which is a very long time ago...

But Zaid of the future, enter Paolo Nutini.

This guy is not jesse, and he's no n'sync either. He's not a manufactured pop shit. He's great. So, let's have a singalong shall we?




Paolo Nutini - Candy

I was perched outside in the pouring rain
Trying to make myself a sail
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
With the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart

Oh I'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I'm left defeated
It get's held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough

Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart

I know that there´re writings on the wall
But Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I'll be there waiting for you (repeat)

All the cut throats and their jagged endsall of them have got me waiting and waiting
All the cheap and the sugary philosophies
have got me on the fence just waiting and waiting
All the angels and their halos
all of them have got me waiting and waiting

Checking Out Pulau Redang

I think im seeing signs that the world is getting ever nearer to apocalypse. You see, last monday the footballing world were given a stunner with Kaka's 67.2m euros move to real madrid which left the milan fans crying. Skip a few days later, we're left baffled with the mighty amount of 80m pounds (a world record) for the ungrateful-egoistic-circus-diver ronaldo of man utd. Then there are reports that a hundred million more euros are going to be spent by the galacticos on ribery, david villa and silva.

It got me thinking, how the hell did real madrid has such a ridiculous amount of money to spend? And to spend big on ronaldo the monkey is beyond me. No one is worth that much amount of money. No one. I just wish they end up bankurpt like leeds and parma for buying kaka! And hey! We haven't recovered fully from the world economic recession have we?

Enough with that, im currently pretty excited with the trip to pulau redang which is set to be on any day next week. Just have to pack the bags and wait. I haven't been there my entire life, so this will be my first time. Thus am currently browsing through the "things-to-do" in pulau redang and it happened to be that snorkeling and diving are the primary tourist activities there.

So the signs are encouraging. Reviewers gave good reviews and the pictures, fascinating. But whenever i feel like everything is going to plan, there will always, ALWAYS be something blocking the way. For all the snorkeling and diving spots they have, i could've been even more excited - intoxicated even - if not for my inability to swim without flailing my arms and legs like a tortured chimpanzee.

That said, i can't swim without the life jacket.

Change We Must!

I realise that certain browsers tend to display only part of this blog.
Other browsers mixed up the feedjit application into my posts.
I realise the songs are not playing in full in here.
I also realise that i put up a useless pop-up ad application which slows down the viewing.
The youtube videos on display are getting old. some can't even be played anymore.
The design is of course, a blogspot basic template which i appear to not have changed ever since i started this blog.


I realise that (to borrow obama's famous election campaign quote), it is time to change.





... which i also realise to have been one of my plan for the holidays.
