Say "Ole Ole Ole"

If You Live For The Game,

It Runs In Your Veins,

Say "OLE OLE OLE!"

One of my favourite season is upon us soon. Yes you said it WORLD CUP 2006. In about a week (8 days to be precise but who is really counting), Germany will kick off against Costa Rica.

Teams your neighbour's grandmother might support but you don't want to cause you want to be different.

1. Brazil - Obvious choice. Many Many big names, flashy players and the best record in the tournament. Also the last time I checked they were still the number one ranked team in the world.
2. England - Everybody is an England fan. Again, big names from the premier league. Metrosexual playeres and maybe because we are commonwealth.
3. France - Probably because of Henry. France has a good frontline but I don't see them going far. People are already too careful with them.

Teams to look out for

1. Netherlands - All round good team. Easy group stage but I don't see them making it pass the semis. They might prove me wrong. This is probably the best dutch team since the Total Football Years.
2. Portugal - Pretty good showing in the euro cup two years ago. Might reach the semis in my opinion.
3. Czech Republic

My team - Argentina: Firstly, they have a decent group. They only have to worry about Netherlands. Ivory Coast and Serbia & Montenegro should be easy. They have a decent back four, good midfielders and a balanced attack. They should go far. I hope at least.

Look out for the new playlist tomorrow. In the meantime, mail me at reviewer@chiaxiang.com or just leave a comment here. Cheers

Another Tune

Number 7 from last week's list Bob Sinclair Ft Steve Edwards - World Hold On (Children Of The Sky). Good soulful dance tune with more vocals that your typically trance song. The song about the world being at the brink of a meteor hit or other disaster and the singer asking people to hold on basically. The video is pretty funny too. This little kid is building a spaceship to save the earth. (Look out for the explosive basketballs).

Women are complicated

I am going off on a tangent today to help my fellow man. As we men know women/girls/ladies are complicated creatures, therefore I have found several video guides that will help you 'decode' them. You guys can thank me later after you guys score.

The first video will tell you when 'yes' means yes,no,maybe, yes but you own me or yes definitely yes. MEN: note that this 'yes' is different from the regular 'yes' that you are used to which can only mean yes. This is especially useful when asking a girl if she can give you her number. If you ready have numbers to call skip to video 2. Yes Means What? (Watch this first).

The second video is how to call a girl you met. Sounds simple? Hmmm......things you never knew you never knew Calling Women.

After you ace the call, you need to figure out what turns her on during your date/outing/movie etc. So here it is Women's Secret Turn Ons.

After you ace the date and she is now your new girlfriend/lover/sex partner/spouse, you will need to master the art of dodging loaded questions. This is an essential skill.(ask any guy that has a girlfriend). Question like "Do you think she is pretty?" or "How many ex-girlfriend did you have before me?".Answering loaded questions.(Note: This skill takes years to master. Look at your dad!)

One last thing, women are complicated being therefore their behavior cannot be grouped,categorized or generalized. There will be many many exceptions when using the video guides. I am not responsible if what you took from these videos backfires on your ass. Use at own risk.

Music, Blogs and Me

On Music

I have been getting a couple of comments from people I know about this blog. Apparently people want to know why I would be 'qualified' to have a list of my song I like for the world to see. Well I fully admit I am neither an artist, a producer not an expert. For that matter, I don't even have a radio in the house unless you consider internet radio. However music has always been one of my main interest, people I know (more like people who knows me) can probably attest to that. I used to listen to a lot of new, independent stuff but the power of commercialism has gotten to me and these days I find myself bobbing my head to mainstream songs like Rihanna's S.O.S. Nevertheless, I don't claim for any of these songs to be hits, future hits or past hits of any kind. All I ask is that you listen to the whole tune (if you care) before saying how big a bag of crap it sounds like. Sweet?

On Blogs

JJones: I figured you are probably a random reader but I thought I would respond just in case you came back. I don't mean any disrespect for any other bloggers out there. I am all on board for bloggers who would like to write about their lastest mink fur coats and LV handbags. In fact if they would like to tell me how their last boyfriend was actually their bestfriend's girlfriend's mom's son or how their last girlfriend has 3 nipples, that would be so great. I would be soooooooo interested to know.

I have only been reading blogs for about 2 weeks. Yes, I am a newbie but as far as I am concerned, there are only 3 types of blogs worth looking at:

  • Blogs of people I know and care about.
  • Blogs of people whom creates a buzz, controversy or just plan rocks. (See Bryanboy).
  • Blogs belonging to hot girls with lots of pictures of themselves and their hot friends.
  • Seem like this post is long enough for now. You probably know the 'me' part as you read more next time. As always, I appreciate comments at reviewer@chiaxiang.com

    If there's a God, I Bet He Is Really Funny

    Darnn it....

    Yesterday I made a big deal about not listing boybands on my weekly list. Hmmm....seem like some heavenly being is trying to be funny cause today as I was going through my music collection I found this really great tune by BT (Brian Transeau) called Force Of Gravity. Unfortunately the vocal we done by one JC Chasez (Justin's Bitch Dog from N'Sync. For those of you who didn't know who he was.GOOD FOR YOU). Therefore as a matter of principle, I am going to leave it out from next week's list.

    This is my third day with the blog and I am already running out of steam so if you have something nice to say. Please leave a comment or email me at reviewer@chiaxiang.com.

    I already know

    Yes I already know how pathetic it is to have two blog entries in one day but I am THAT bored. If you didn't already know, I am waiting on my job to begin so in the meantime I am sitting around banging balls. Which led to the start of this blog in the first place.

    Anyway..the video below is actually No. 5 of yesterday's list. I figured nobody will care enough or be 'free' to actually hunt for the song so I thought I will post some here.

    In my opinion, this is a great tune. Decent bassline, good build ups and memorable vocals. Plus the video has cute guys for the ladies. All video already have sexy girls these days so I won't bother even making a point on that.

    The line will not be crossed

    I appreciate the TWO people that actually send me titles of songs to look at. However there a couple of things i would like to add. Firstly when I decided to make this site, I told myself that I would try my best to include some mainstream song in my list every week for the more commercial listeners. Having said that, there is this line which I will not ever cross. That line is this.


    THERE WILL BE NO BOY-BANDS


    Yes Zhong Lin, I know this will disappoint you but I will not be listing N'Sync's Bye Bye Bye anytime soon. They can sing Die Die Die for all I care.

    Sex, Drugs, Drums and Bass

    Yes I know the title is a cheap rip-off of the 80's Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll but what the heck. Yes I also know what I have said about people 'advertising' their lives on blogs to tell the world how cool they are, how much people love them or how sad and miserable their lives are.

    On those notes, this blog will be a little different.
    1) Will it be a rip-off of other sites, emails, blogs etc? Hell yeah...I am not that creative a person anyway.
    2) Will it be about me, my glories and my boring west lafayette/manassas life? A little but only when something exciting happens.
    3) So what would this blog be about? Music. All kinds and style hopefully.

    Here goes..this is my first playlist (Using this name for a while since I can't think of a better one). Basically I will try to make one of these every week with 10 songs which I think are worth listening to for that week. Nobody is paying me to have their songs on my list. At least not yet. If you have a song you would like me to check out. Just send me an email at reviewer@chiaxiang.com. No forwarded crap please. Also feel free to comment about list. One last thing, if I am breaking any laws let me know.
