Music Making

Song that I can play - Beauty & the Beast
So with this song, a lady and her daughter and her husband came up to me and they wanted me to teach their daughter how to play the piano. And it was all because they heard me play this song. :)



Song that I want to be able to play

Chinese Combo No. 5

SEE IF THIS DOESN'T CRACK YOU UP!!!



Hello, Welcome to Wong Way Kitchen. I take your order please? I highly recommend the Combo #5! (Ooh nice) Yeah! Combo 1,2, .. 3,4,5. Everybody loves Chinese steamed or fried, from the Chinese restaurant around the corner, so you say you want some won-ton soup, I'll bring your order. Roast duck is a special all-dish week, we fry it deep, be-cause our duck is cheap! You like Egg-Fu-Yon, diced chicken, chow wong and subgum. We are serving dim sum, all of it yum-yum.
So, what can I getcha, a really big order pork, we got the chopsticks, but please use a fork. Everything is fried, it's so good, like our dumplings. So, just give us a ring. A little beef and broccoli you got to try; A little mixed vegetables and white rice; A little sweet and sour is all you need; A little bit of salt - no MSG; A little bit of General Tso's chicken; A little bit of lo mein I can send; A little bit of Szechuan or Hunan; A little bit of moo goo gai pan !!

The song I'll have at my funeral

I Promise

Day 23 - A Song I Could Play At My Wedding I Promise.

This has one of the most cliche and sweetest words for a wedding song and it checks many elements on my list. :p Not to mention, the video is cheeky too! I heart this lots :)

Happy vs Sad

A song for when I'm happy :) This is an amazing rendition that I am sure will amaze you!



Then we have the times when we feel down and broken.

Days 17 - 20

Day 17 - A song that I often hear on the radio and I love it!




Day 18 - A song that I wish I heard often on the radio. Most interestingly, this song was a pre-loaded song in my phone. You know, the list of stupid crappy songs, yes. I was positively surprised to hear this.





Day 19 - Song from my favorite album. Still gets me singing each and every time, One More Time!



Day 20 - When I'm angry, give me a fast car, let me go 180km/h, give me a long road with no traffic, take the cops away and leave me alone. Or you can consider giving me Escala.




Thanks for watching, reading, listening, learning :)

It was an...

Day 16 - I used to love this song when I was a kid cos I thought it was cute. Now, it's just meh... Hate is too strong a word but you'd never find this in my iPod.

Tiffany's Rhapsody

I thought long and hard about picking a song that'd describe me. I ran through nearly a hundred songs, evaluating their lyrics, thinking about the possible significances, suggestions and implied meanings behind the songs, trying to pick a song that describes me as best as possible. The song that came out triumphant leaves a great deal for imagination. I'm curious to know what you get out of this so if you can, leave a comment on who you think I am based on this song.

暖暖紅塵

This is a rather old song and definitely a song no one would expect me to like. I have no idea what the song means but it just sounds nice.

Sandy Lam presents you Day 14.

Day 13 - A Song That Is A....

Guilty pleasure???? Pfffttt!! What is this guilty pleasure nonsense? Everyone should be entitled to like whatever song they like without having to feel guilty, even if it's High School Musical, cos We're All in This Together :D

Song From A Band That I Hate

It don't really know what band I hate. People that sing too fast. I don't really like them. :p People that sing too slowly, don't really like them either. In any case, here's a band that I do sorta hate >>> Iron Maiden. Curse me not please... :( I can't help it. I just never caught on. And since I don't really like the band, I don't really want their song ruining my blog. SO I'm gonna skip putting the video up but here's the link.

Westlife

A band that I love has definitely got to be Westlife!! I'm a sucker for ballads, pop, slow songs, good (sometimes cheesy lyrics). And they look good too!!!! If I had to choose, I'd go to a Westlife concert.

Day 11 - a song from a band that you love. I heart Westlife's Queen Of My Heart :)

Evacuating London

Letting go is never easy especially when you have to let go of someone or something or both at the same time. Letting go hurts.

I cannot decide if I'm annoyed with myself for not letting you go or if I'm annoyed with you for letting me go. Whatever it is, things were not meant to turn out this way. Not in my plan at least... People change. You've changed, I've changed, times have changed but I still find myself getting distressed over you. :s

Let times keep changing and let me change even more. You go ahead and change all you need to. I'd love to say I don't care about what you do anymore but fact remains I do. I worry about what will happen next. In any case, I really cannot afford to spend too much time losing sleep worrying about you. Not when what I need most now is sleep..



Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep. Intense but relaxing. Sorta. Kinda what I need now and thankfully already have on repeat...

Good night sleep tight world :)

Day 9

24 hours later, I'm feeling so much better. Not good enough to dance, but much better. That being said, if it was necessary, play me this, and I wouldn't be able to resist putting my hands up to Blame It On The Boogie!

Colors of the Wind

Week 2 of the 30 Day Song Challenge... 

Advice to self (if I ever attempt this again): Pre-choose all 30 songs. 

Day 8: A song you know all the words to... So MANY!!!!! Nearly everything Disney but here goes, from one of my favorite Disney movies.. Pocahontas :) 

Together We Are One Family

Events, events, events...

Fun Fact: 2006 was the first time my entire family travelled on a plane together. Apart from the other time when I was an only child. As a family, we cam to Perth!!! In that short time that we were here, we must have heard "Advance Australia Fair" like 100 times!! For all the gold medals Australia won in the commonwealth games. 

Together We Are One is a good remembrance of our holiday :) 

Home

If you don't already know, I'm a Singaporean currently living in Australia and it has been the case for the last 3 years. I decided to pick a song that made me think of Singapore. I struggled long and hard to think of a song that would remind me of a place. I tossed between picking High by The Lighthouse Family and Bad Boys by Alexandra Burke, both of which were songs that accompanied me on my most recent trip to Singapore. But as I started typing out this post, I stopped to think if either song really was the best thing I could pick to remind me of the country I grew up in. :S

I'm not the biggest fan of Singapore but I am a big fan of this song and it reminds me of the country I grew up in. :)

One Way

This song not only reminds me of someone. It reminds me of a whole big part of my life!!! The fun we shared in the service we gave, Youth Camps,  ILCs, conferences, Music Min, the friendships that I made along the way... The memories are unforgettable. Who could forget this awesome song that we played over and over again... Till we achieved perfection!!!

Dedication to all my FTW & YFC friends! And special shout-out to my assorted band mates Clare, Anna, Jon Goh, Dave, Kuya Fredney, Jon Cheong, Pat, Edmar, Isaac, Aika, Miles, Marwin, Kuya Joseph, etc etc! I miss all of you!!! Much loves to all of you!

Why Sad?

Here goes again... Day 4 of the 30 Day Song Challenge.

I started out this challenge because
1. I love putting songs on my blog and what a better way to share songs than through a theme,
2. I really wanted to share some of the days.
But on days like today, Day 4, I wonder why I even bothered to do this. It was hard picking a song that makes me sad.

I remember walking by a huge lake just as the sun was nearly done setting. The sky with just that glimmer of remaining light and this song playing on my iPod, I couldn't help but feel extreme sadness. Somewhere Only We Know by Keane is my sad song for the challenge. The movie, the lyrics, the tune, the time it came out, the places I took this song to, this song has many memories that I wanna relive.
Keane has beautiful songs and here's Somewhere Only We Know. The music video's incomplete but it's nevertheless still wonderful.

Day 3 - A Song That Makes Me Happy

Essentially, a song that would make me happy is actually any song that reminds of the people I love and love spending time with. Picking this song is cheating a little, because it really is actually two songs in one, and it two songs that I really love. But I think what's more important is that I feel happy when I hear this song and I sincerely hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Life has changed a lot in the last one year and this song reminds me of my flies.

I dedicate especially, this song, to all my flies Jorine aka Housefly, ChenYi aka Dragonfly, Sharon aka Butterfly and Celia aka Fruitfly, for all the good times and the laughter we shared.

With much love, Tiffany aka Firefly *mwah*
