Survivor : Milky Way

Poor pluto. It was bad enough when a goofy dog uses its name, and now it finds itself booted out of the Solar System in a manner reminscent of the Survivor reality TV show.

Update: It didn't take too long for the backlash to swarm in. Read Scott Adam's (Dilbert's writer) take on the issue and also other scientists' reaction to it.

On a separate note, i have been waking up at bloody early hours even though i need not head back to camp. Damn you army for screwing up my bio clock. I guess it's time to find some activities to make myself useful in the early morning, like joining the Taiji group or bringing my Nintendogs out for a stroll in the park.


(Not So) Random Countdown to Wubai and Zhang Zhen Yue's concert.

I always find it to be a listening pleasure when male singers cover songs originally sung by females. The featured song, 被动 (passiveness), ranks as one of my favourite male covers. Originally sung by Tarcy Su, it depicts the passiveness and reservation often displayed by females in a relationship.

With Wubai's cover, there is a complete role reversal. Juxtaposing the meaning of the lyrics with his masculine and tough as nails demeanour, it provides an interesting and rewarding spin on the disc player. Besides this cover version was recorded live, which amplifies the listening pleasure as he exudes his natural onstage charisma.


被动 (click here for Wubai's version, here for Tarcy's version)

作词:潘丽玉 作曲:伍佰

我可以很久不和你联络
任日子一天天这麽过
让自己忙碌可以当作藉口
逃避想念你的种种软弱
我可以学会对你很冷漠
为何学不会将爱没收
面对你是对我最大的折磨
这些年始终没有对你说
爱你越久我越被动
只因你的爱居无定所
是你让我的心慢慢退缩
退到你看不见的角落
爱你越久我越被动
只因我的爱不再为你挥霍
是我让我的心失去自由
却再也没有勇气放纵

没有勇气放纵
