Upgrading

Fuck HDB upgrading. Not that I dont like the idea of upgrading(Why would I? Next time can sell the flat for more money.), it's just that the contractors are so freaking inefficient!!!

Upgrading for my block was supposed to be finished by October 2003, which was around the time I took my 'O' Levels. However, by the time I finished my JC 1 Promos, the workers were still in the process of upgrading my block. Fuck. So damn slow, not to mention the irritating noises they contribute everytime they start work. Oh, and the disgusting dust which caused my skin condition to deteriolate so much.

When they finally finished upgrading, or so I thought, then came the renovation of ground floor ceilings and re-wiring or cables this year. WTF? I thought all these were supposed to be done during upgrading? Plus, the work is so fucking shoddy. A few months after they changed the ceiling boards, some of them are already starting to fall out. Great! And not to mention what they did to the floor...it used to be fairly clean and now there are ugly black patches on them.

Then, there's always some reason for lift upgrading. WTF?! The lifts were like just installed one year ago...is there a need to upgrade it every now and then when they feel like it? And the noise is just killing me. Even though I've tuned my iPod up to its maximum volume and coupled it with my horrible singing, I still can hear the drilling noises. Fuck.

So when the noises finally stopped, hurray, I went out of my room and started watching The Simple Life 3 for the second time. Everytime Paris Hilton starts talking, the drilling noises start. When I paused the show to get a drink, the noises ceased. Then, when I hit the play button, ta-da, drilling noises once again. FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. Fucking irritating. Plus, it's not a very pleasant sight to see foreign workers walking in and out of your block. Everytime they do upgrading or maintanence, the cleanliness of the block worsens...clean up your fucking mess contracters!

Anyway, there's a funeral going on downstairs and I wonder how that family feels because I dont think anyone's going to be able to hear the monks chant their scriptures.

I remember I did this Taiwanese artises plagarising other people's songs blog article on my website once...but it got deleted when my server crashed. Fuck. Anyway, recently, this one artist has been getting on my nerves. Okay, she's not Taiwanese but whatever la.

She's none other than the all-Singaporean Jocie Guo Mei Mei.


I think she's the only artiste up to date who has the most number of plagarised songs...not to mention album cover too.

First of all, her album cover. Why did she copy Ocean Ou and put some cartoon character on her album cover?! I can understand why Ocean wants to picture himself as a cartoon character...considering he looks rather...well, normal. However, Guo Mei Mei is actually quite good-looking already. So, the only reason why she's doing this, or rather her company, is because they're trying to copy Ocean.


Secondly, her music.


First album saw a cover version of Lao Shu Ai Da Mi, the freaking popular song that I dont like at all. So many people copied the song so yup, cant really blame her for wanting to get remembered as one of those who did so.


Just when I thought that no more Lao Shu Ai Da Mi would be played on TV, here came Bu Pa Bu Pa, a cover of that 'Numa Numa Numa eh' song.(Sorry, dont know what's the original title.) Hello, whatever happened to songwriters?! You mean her company cant afford writing new songs for her?! In addition to it, this album/single only consists of one song, which is not even original. You might ask who would want to buy a single consisting of one song. Well, her company went on to make 8 remixes of that song and recorded all of them into her album. Once again, this sounds like a tatic Japanese artises use. Copycat! The lyrics to this song seriously sucks too. If you want to copy other people's songs, at least write nice lyrics to go with it and not childish lyrics about you and Siu Keung(the cockroach). Plus, the PV for this song was so badly done too...as compared to Ocean's PVs.

Anyway, Guo Mei Mei doesnt have that a great voice too...

Moving on to Taiwanese artises...the artiste that I havent mentioned before is none other than Sweety! They managed to do a cover of Morning Musume's Koi no Dance site. Yay for copycat singers! Jolin copies, Yuki Hsu copies, 5566 copies, Energy copies like no ones' business...and the list goes on...Plus they seem to be damn proud about copying songs...WTF.
