法克这个人
my cough and flu didnt get better this week... and it seems like my virus has spread over to the other math department teachers... some of them are falling sick too. hopefully i can recover over the weekend, so i wont have to continue teaching with a hoarse voice next week. big thanks to the math department teachers who loaded me with lozenges, strepsils and other kinds of cough sweets over the week! these kind of small gestures from the teachers r really heartwarming.
anyway,
kenneth came to school this week to chat with the teachers. haha... mr lee told him not to come without presents, and he actually bought him xiao long baos. then mr lee said giving money is more practical. -_-" haha... those that want to return to school, please come back on a tuesday! I'LL OFFER A FREE GUIDED TOUR around the school :D cos im really bored to death on tuesday. my one and only lesson starts at 3.20pm! ): anw, yesterday was mr lee's birthday. the chem department kept teasing him that hes getting old, and he insists that hes at his prime. then ms soh said that his age is not a prime number. haha hanging around with the chem department can be really cold sometimes.
anw, after a one week break, heroes and survivor returns this week. i am really mad about the latest heroes episode. even though theres a really cute baby in this episode (toddler touch and go! :D) that i like alot, it isnt enough to pacify my anger over the fact they killed my favourite character. rahhh! AND i actually said in my jan 25th entry that "both of them better not die". the storywriter of this episode should just resign immediately or something ok. :/
on another note, jolin and xiao hong ren's new albums are released this week. ill talk about xiao hong ren's album first, since it has a very interesting album title: 法克这个人. theres also a tong2 ming1 qu3 in the album, and upon listening to it, i felt that the insertion of expletives did nothing to give the song a nicer feel, unlike vanness' wo bu shi zhi ji, where expeletives are sparingly used, but at the right time, so it actually gave the song more attitude. xiao hong ren merely repeats 法克 you, 法克 you... etc in the chorus of 法克这个人. given his talents, does he really have to resort to such "low" tactics to draw people's attention to his album and compositions? at this rate, the standards of the chinese music industry will really continue to degrade.
jolin's album is her first album with warner, and also her first album in about 1.5 years. having heard the first 2 hits, i had high expectations of the album, but it was overall rather disappointing. the wu qus, which are jolin's fortes, are undoubtedly good, but as for ballads, jolin did not seem to make any improvements during this long hiatus. the album cover doesnt look exactly very appealing either haha... nevertheless, im addicted to her "hua hu die", which should have been made the first hit rather than "da zhang fu", which is a fan chang song.
