I became a proud owner of a pair of Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4 last Saturday in the midst of all the Stage 2 preparation which is now over!

A pretty cool set of earphones. The bass is good and the reviews online are pretty good as well.

If anyone is interested in buying earphones or headphones, check out Jaben Network which has a store located in the building opposite of Funan. Friendly owners and good stuff. You can try out the various earphones there as well. Highly recommended!

I admit: I used to listen to Howard Shore’s soundtrack for LOTR too much. And as of this week, he has been dethroned by FLOW to being no. 2 on my top artists of all time.

A very creative music video. The best I’ve seen so far.

A pity they don’t/haven’t “approve(ed)” the full tracks. Nice album. I think it will be sold in Singapore next Tuesday. Read the rest of this entry »

Looks like everything I like nowadays have something to do with the end of the world somehow, in the figurative sense. For those who watch anime, this is the new opening theme for Code Geass.

Déjà Vu (feat. Joanna Koike)

Where did we meet before, just like this?
I know your smile, your voice, just like that
You talked to me and I smiled right back
I don’t believe in fantasy

Same dress, same smell, reminds me
(Of) something I can’t forget
Same song, same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream

Take me far where stars are still asleep
You and me, we’ll live forevermore
I would follow you, my destiny
Won’t you get my feet back on the ground?
I’m gettin’ played by you, déjà vu (woo)

I saw those sparkles in your eyes
Your soothing words make me feel alright
I would be glad to stay in your sight
Let’s fade into this mystery

Same words, “Is this the first time?”
As if I’m stuck in a loop
I’m lost in sweet illusion
Turn me into a sensation

Square Enix is famous for brining us games from the Final Fantasy Franchise and others like Kingdom Hearts. But this time, they have decided to break out from their usuals and provide us with a new game that is innovative and at the same time awesome.

The World Ends With You is an RPG that is set in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. I have been spending quite some time on this game for a while. I haven’t been addicted to a game so much since Warcraft a long long time ago. I’m not going to write a review for the game. There are a lot of reviews out there already.

The best part of the game is the battle system. You control two characters who are fighting simultaneously against monsters known as “noise”. One character is controlled via the touchscreen using the stylus and the other character is at the upper screen and is controlled by key presses. Two videos of the battle system.

And lastly, I LOVE the soundtrack. It’s a mix of hip hop and trance.

There are of course many other nice features of this game. You can find out more by reading reviews like this. Otherwise, go grab a DS and play it. =)

Deja Vu

Where did we meet before just like this
I know your smile
Your voice just like that
You talk to me and I smile back
I don’t believe in fantasy
Same dress that now reminds me
Something I can’t forget
Same song same tone in your voice
Tell me this isn’t a dream
Take me forward, stars are still asleep
You and me, we live forevermore
I would follow you my destiny
Won’t you get my favorite photograph
I’m getting played by you
