Gigi 炎明熹 - 最動人一次 Review

 

                          

After being "freeze" from any work by her management company TVB due to contract renewal issue, Gigi finally release her latest single 最動人一次. This song is made to be the theme song of her upcoming musical special 恋上西沙. This is especially made to promote new launching of property in Sai Sha Go Park.

Composed by Harry Ng who also composed another advertisement related song of Gigi's. Also, the same lyricist Sandy Chang was engaged for this song. So, the quality of this song is ensured to be of top notch. And it really is top notch. Easy remember melody and hook with lyric that is easy to loop in your head.

Of course, Gigi's perform this song well with her calm and soothing voice. Using head voice in some of the end line and also her signature Gi-tone. In less than 16 hours the MV on YouTube already garnered more than 177K views. Proofing that her popularity is still there even though she was stopped from doing any work for more than 5 months.

If the contractual renewal issue is real (Gigi chose not to renew her contract with TVB and TMG) then 最動人一次 might be the last song of her with TMG. Fans will need to wait another 6 months or more until her contract ends before her next new single. It will be interesting to see which music label or artist management company Gigi will work with next.

SeowRead: How Was Your Day by Boey

 




Breaking away from his previous "When I Was a Kid" series which are stories about his childhood, Boey's latest book, "How Was Your Day" takes on the subject of being a young adult. I think this is clever transition as the first book of "When I Was a Kid" first published way back in 2011. The kid who first bought the book when it was published would have now going through experience similar to Cheryl, the young adult that "How Was Your Day" will be telling us. 

Cheryl, a young adult at the age of 28 is facing what most young adult face in the working life. It starts with her job interview and what she faces during her changed of working environment. I won't want to spoil too much here.

I faced a similar experience as her in my first two full time jobs. Managers that shout and scold that also sometime likes to micromanage. I find it happens when the manager is way older than me, I was in my 20s and my manager then was in their 40s. As I changed jobs, I found that manager that was near my age has a much friendlier management style. I of course able to survive (maybe I am a male) the scolding and even became friend with my older managers as I will stand at their point of view on why they will be like that. As time goes by their attitude towards me changed.

Apart from stories about her at work. We also follow her relationship with her parents. Like most young adult who wants to make their own decision yet still get the nagging from parents. Because no matter how old we are, in our parents still view us as a kid. I found it a bit weird is why she mentioned "Jusco" instead of "Aeon" even in the year 2020. Jusco changed its name to Aeon in 2004. So, Cheryl would be around 12. Oh well sometimes name will get stuck from young. Maybe it is Boey that is still stuck with the name.

To summarized it, I found myself more excited to read "When I Was a Kid" series as it serves as a nostalgia to me. Boey and I both grew up in the same era after all. As for "How Was Your Day", it is a been there done that kind of reading. As Boey said in his interview, Cheryl is all of us. I think most young adult or even late teens will get more out of it than I whom is already 45 this year.

P.S. R.I.P. 小强&百脚.

Gigi 炎明熹 - 還有一艘救生艙 Review


This is the second single released by Gigi Yim in 2024. For the first time in her MV she has got a love relationship with a male actor. This song is about long-distance relationship that didn't end well. 

I think this is the first time Gigi has a typical Canto style ballad in her song list. She did very well in bringing out the emotions of this song in her singing. I teared a bit just 30 seconds into the song when I first heard it.

I love her ad lib as always. I would say this song will likely become very popular amongst the fans. Hopefully the Hong Kong radio stations will help to broadcast more of this song in the airwave.

Gigi 炎明熹 - 透光者 Review



The first single for the year 2024 for Gigi Yim. 透光者, which mean The Translucent One wants to tell a story of someone that is invisible to the one he/she likes. No matter what they do, the person they like won't take notice. 

Using a kind of mixed voice to sing this song, Gigi said that it is a new approach for her and she was not satisfied with her performance during recording. Such a perfectionist. She said that she hopes that she will do better when doing live performances of this song.

This is of a more band sound and a bit of Country influence. Gigi handled the transition of chest voice to falsetto nicely. I especially like the Bridge and the ad hoc at the end. This song might not be a song that hit you when you first hear it but after looping it a few times it will gets more and more hook on you.

Windy 詹天文 - 《大雕刻家 The Great Sculptor》


《大雕刻家 The Great Sculptor》, the second single from Windy Zhan is very different from her debut single 《沒有你的新學期》. This new song is more towards KPOP dance genre and it can be seen in the MV that Windy has a dance choreographed for this song.

This song is about when a human from being born till they grow up, many input and opinions sculpted by their parents, teachers, friends and etc. But the great sculptor should be themselves. No one can shape oneself other than themselves.

Gigi 炎明熹 - Only For Me



Only For Me, the latest single from Gigi Yim which is composed by J. Arie Lui. This is the second song after Little Magic from the same composer. This time the genre is R&B.

The MV is off the Gothic theme is something dark that Gigi have not done before. The melody of the chorus it very catchy that the tune will be looping in your head in no time. I personally love the bridge part which showcases Gigi's Legato. 

Fun fact is that this song was sang live during Gigi Yim's Gi-FORCE concert on 7th October 20233 before the song was released to digital platforms on the 9th.

Kaitlyn 林君蓮《Why Are You Always Looking At Me》



This is a second song by the talented Kaitlyn Lam which not only composed the melody but wrote the lyrics too. This time the style is more to R&B which is a totally different style from her debut single N.F.T. which is to a more funk style.

From her interview during the making of this MV, Kaitlyn said that this song came up when she sees that many strangers looking at her in the street. Besides telling about strangers looking at her, she also said that it can be lovers or friends looking at each other.

I like the arrangement done by JNY Beatz and Kaitlyn is able to carry this chill R&B style. Looking forward to more of her creations in the future.

Yumi 鍾柔美 - 《下一個暑假》Official Music Video


The latest song from Hong Kong up and coming female singer Yumi Chung. This song is a break from her three previous songs which were more on to dance track. 

This song titled "The Next Summer Vacation" is about her daily life as student and singer. It also talks about her countdown to the high school exam in Hong Kong (DSE) that she will be facing next year in 2024.

The song has a kind of a LoFi and chill vibe giving me a kind of easy listening feel. I like the strumming of the guitar in this song. Yumi's vocal is different from her previous three songs and the range is at her sweet spot which is mid-high. Unlike "Wanna be close to U" or "Y2k is right for me?" which very high. Not to say that she couldn't hit the high notes, it is just that the high note is not the best for her voice.

Hiatus! No more?

Hello blog. Yes. It's been quite some time I didn't do any new posting on this blog of mine. I have been lazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

If you miss the food post I wrote, well I do update #foodporn pic frequently on my Instagram. So, click and follow my Instagram. Click!

I'll try to update this blog maybe once a month? :P

Here's some photos from my trip to St. Petersburg, Russia last year.

Lunch is nice in my company's factory canteen. The carb here is actually buckwheat, which is in season last year March. Thankfully it's not too cold. Just around -1 - 1 degree Celsius. I was warned by my Russian colleague that in 2012 it went as cold as -15 degree Celsius.


I went to a restaurant specialize in pelmeni (Russian dumpling) the last night I was there. I ordered fillings with beef, chicken liver and salmon. I guessed every culture has their own kind of dumpling dish.


I've never experienced snow before and I thought I could experienced it during my two weeks stay in St. Petersburg but it turned out to be one for warmest March in decade. Lucky for me on the day for me to fly back to KL, it snowed!




Neva river viewed from my hotel room.

Alright. That's all for now. I want to continue playing Magic Duels. Yes, I've taken up the game of Magic the Gathering again where I played briefly when I was in form 5. I promised to post more photos of my St. Petersburg trip in my next post. See ya!

T-shirt also can comes in diffrent colours and prints. I love those t-shirt with a clever quote or picture. Also, prints of my favourite anime or cartoon character or special kind of prints that is collaborating with well known designer/artist/comic blogger.


Of course, being a man, shopping is not my forte and going out to a mall to buy t-shirt is a rare occasion. Thank goodness for the invention of Internet and online shopping. Where I can browse the different kind of t-shirts without stepping a foot out of my house. Best of all, I can even compare the pricing of a few online shops to find the best deal.

Volkswagen Jetta Is Now More Affordable!

Yes. You read that correctly. If you've been wanting to own a segment C German car but was not about the high pricing for above RM 150K then now this is good news for you. Volkswagen Jetta will now cause RM 21K less than previously. It's now selling at RM 130,888 instead of RM 151,888.




Simon Loasby, Director of Design, Volkswagen Group China shared the design principle adopted by the Volkswagen design team.


How can that be? Oh, well. It is because it is now German-engineered, Malaysian-assembled, which will takes away the 30% import duty charged by the government in the fully imported version. There is only a slight different between the two version. The Malaysian-assembled version doesn't have the paddle shift but offers a new RCD 320 radio.

Here is the full details of the Jetta:


Engine and Performance
A car that truly inspires confidence with its power and poise, the Jetta combines a 1.4l twin-charged direct petrol injection TSI engine with a 7-speed direct shift gearbox that gives an impressive output of 160PS and a torque of 240Nm between 1,500 to 4,500rpm – making it amongst the most powerful vehicles in its segment.

The only car in its segment with a 7-speed gearbox, this sedan is also able to accelerate from 0 to 100kph in 8.3 seconds and capable in reaching a top speed of 221kph – further underlining its athletic credentials. Despite its sporty performance, the Jetta features a combined fuel consumption of approximately 6.0l/100 km (16.7 km per litre) on a Euro 5 emission standard, making it the segment class-leader in fuel efficiency and emissions.




Enhanced entertainment features
The Jetta’s entertainment features have been carefully selected for the Malaysian market. Presenting Malaysians an extensive range of connectivity options, this elegant sedan is installed with the new RCD320 radio with multiple connectivity options such as Bluetooth, SD-card slot, USB with iPod interface and AUX-In. This multi-function display comes with multi-language support and its audio system is further supplemented with 6 sound quality speakers.


Safety Features
Safety features are of utmost importance in the Jetta. Equipped with dual front airbags with front passenger airbag deactivation, dual front side airbags and curtain airbags for front and rear passengers; Electronic Stability Control (ESC) with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Brake Assist (BA) as well as hill-hold control and rain sensor is installed in the Jetta. The locally assembled Jetta also comes with safety-optimized front head restraints and child seat anchorage points (ISOFIX system).


Interior
Inside the Jetta, there is an assortment of aesthetic and functional features such as a multi-function leather steering wheel complemented with leather gearshift knob and handbrake lever, as well as ‘Black Pyramids’ decorative inserts for dashboard and door trim panel. The functional interior features of the Jetta includes auto-dimming rear view mirror, cruise control, auto power windows for all four doors, glove compartment with cooling functions and a generous 510 litres of trunk space.

As far as driver and passenger comfort is concerned, the Jetta is furnished with ‘Sienna’ fabric seat upholstery, height adjustable front seats, 60/40 foldable rear seats, adjustable front armrest and rear armrest as well as a ‘Climatronic’ automatic air conditioning system with 2-zone temperature control and rear air-con vents.


Exterior
The Jetta truly encompasses the Volkswagen design DNA, featuring dynamic design lines that truly bring out the essence of this sedan. Fitted with 16-inch alloy wheels, chrome grille and twin exhaust tailpipes, the car is further kitted with front and rear fog lights, in case of fog. Its halogen headlights comes with automatic headlight activation with ‘Leaving Home’ and manual ‘Coming Home’ functions and exterior mirror with environment lighting to assist drivers in dark area. The sedan is also equipped with Park Distance Control (PDC) for front and rear, and electrically adjustable exterior mirror for driver convenience especially during parking.



The Jetta is available in four colour choices: Candy White, Platinum Grey, Reflex Silver and Deep Black. The German-engineered, Malaysian-assembled Jetta will be available for booking at all Volkswagen dealerships in Peninsular Malaysia from 2 May at the compelling price of RM 130,888.

Have You Had Your Milo Today?

Many of us know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Just think that after sleeping for 7-8 hours or even 10-12 hours for some lucky people, we are not eating anything and our body is burning on our storage which is “stored fat”, unless you ate a very heavy meal before you go to bed. Waking up with an empty stomach with nothing to burn, our body will need something to boost our energy level in the morning.

Also, skipping on breakfast is not good for people that wants to slim down because our body will slow down our metabolism and burn less calories. At lunch time you'll be eating more than usual but you will be burning less calories and worse if your body starts to stored the food as fat.

Of course, some people will say that they are busy in the morning hence skipping on breakfast. Well, why not make yourself a mug of Milo that is a well balanced and nutritious breakfast filled with Positive Energy. Positive Energy is derived from the perfect ratio of nutrients consisting of protein, carbohydrates and fats to provide our body with the much needed fuel to take on both physical and mental challenges each day.
