After about a month of wait, finally my Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones has arrived! In conjunction with my 2013 birthday hehe! I bought this headphone from Amazon for USD114.96 including shipping, that’s a good bargain actually, almost half the market price.

I has been using Philips SHP-895 all this while, and it’s actually not bad, although the headphone is a bit stiff, but the build quality is good and after 8 years of using it, the only damage is slight crack at both side of the hinge, which doesn’t effect the functionality at all.

Also, the Philips SHP-895 is using microfiber cloth to wrap the sponge in the can, one of the main reason I choose this headphone last time due to synthetic leather often fall apart after using it for some time.

ATH-M50

For my Audio-Technica ATH-M50, I haven’t use it long enough to write a full review of it, but so far I’m very satisfy with the headphone, the sound is great although it hasn’t burned in yet, and it’s very comfortable to use, the sponge is soft and is wrapped with synthetic leather, I hope it won’t started to wear off after I use it long enough.

Well that’s all I can say for now, let’s hope this headphone will last me another 8 years. 🙂

Just bought my self an electric guitar, it’s a Les Paul, not Gibson, not even Epiphone, but Spear, cost me RM1250 with the hard case RM350. It’s a Korean brand Les Paul and is made in Indonesia, it has very good review for it’s price range.

So far, I’m quite satisfy with it, the only complain is there’re a few places that has fret buzz, which definitely need a setup, thinking of doing this next month, after I’m familiar with the guitar and know what to customize.

Here’s a picture of my new guitar, Cherry Burst Les Paul.

I’m broke but yet happy. ^^

Beautiful, meaningful song from Faye Wong. 🙂

Title: 红豆

還沒好好的感受 雪花綻放的氣候
Haven’t really felt that snowflakes flying atmosphere

我們一起顫抖　會更明白　甚麼是溫柔
We shivered together and understood better what is tenderness

還沒跟你牽著手　走過荒蕪的沙丘
Haven’t held hands with you walk across the barren desert

可能從此以後　學會珍惜　天長和地久
Maybe from then since, learn to appreciate eternity

有時候　有時候　我會相信一切有盡頭
There’re times there’re times, I’ll believe that everything has an end

相聚離開　都有時候　沒有甚麼會永垂不朽
Reunite breakaway there’re times, there’s nothing that last forever

可是我　有時候　寧願選擇留戀不放手
But then I at some times, rather choose to linger not let go

等到風景都看透　也許你會陪我　看細水長流
Wait till watch through the whole scenery, maybe you’ll accompany me to watch the stream flow

還沒為你把紅豆　熬成纏綿的傷口
Haven’t steamed the red bean for you into an entangled web of wound

然後一起分享　會更明白　相思的哀愁
And then enjoy it together will then understand the sorrow of missing each other

還沒好好的感受　醒著親吻的溫柔
Haven’t yet really felt the tenderness of kissing while awake

可能在我左右　你才追求　孤獨的自由
Maybe on my surroundings you’ll then pursue the freedom of being alone

有時候　有時候　我會相信一切有盡頭
There’re times there’re times, I’ll believe that everything has an end

相聚離開　都有時候　沒有甚麼會永垂不朽
Reunite breakaway there’re times, there’s nothing that last forever

可是我　有時候　寧願選擇留戀不放手
But then I at some times, rather choose to linger not let go

等到風景都看透　也許你會陪我　看細水長流
Wait till watch through the whole scenery, maybe you’ll accompany me to watch the stream flow

有時候　有時候　我會相信一切有盡頭
There’re times there’re times, I’ll believe that everything has an end

相聚離開　都有時候　沒有甚麼會永垂不朽
Reunite breakaway there’re times, there’s nothing that last forever

可是我　有時候　寧願選擇留戀不放手
But then I at some times, rather choose to linger not let go

等到風景都看透　也許你會陪我　看細水長流
Wait till watch through the whole scenery, maybe you’ll accompany me to watch the stream flow

Title: I Don’t Care

[CL]
Hey playboy
It’s about time
And your time’s up
I had to do this one for my girls you know
That’s the only way you boys learn

[Minji]
니 옷깃에 묻은 립스틱은 나는 절대로 용서못해
I can’t ever forgive you for that lipstick on your collar

매일 하루에 수십번 꺼져있는 핸드폰
Every day, your phone’s always off

변하지 않을것만 같아 oh oh
It doesn’t seem like you’re going to change oh oh

그저 친구라는 수많은 여자친구
All those girlfriends you call “friends”

날 똑같이 생각하지마 I won’t let it fly
Don’t think of me in the same way as them, I won’t let it fly

이제 니맘대로해 난 미련을 버릴래
From now on, do as you want, I’m going to stop caring

한때 정말 사랑했는데 oh
For some time I really loved you but oh

[CL]
가끔씩 술에 취해 전활걸어 지금은 새벽 다섯시반
Sometimes you get drunk, and call me, now it’s 5:30 am

넌 또 다른 여자의 이름을 불러 no
Again you say another girl’s name no

cause I don’t care e e e e e e
Boy I don’t care

[Minji]
다른 여자들의 다리를 훔쳐보는
Stealing glances at other girl’s legs

니가 너무너무 한심해
You’re so so hopeless

매일 빼놓는 커플링 나 몰래 한 소개팅
Everyday you take off your couple ring, and secretly go on a blind date

더이상 못참을것같아 oh oh oh
I don’t think that I’ll be able to take it anymore oh oh oh

[Dara]
넌 절대 아니라는 수많은 나의친구
My friends say that you’re not really worth it

넌 늑대란 친구들까지 타일렀지만
You even went to your wolf-like friends for advice but

차라리 홀가분해 너에게 난 과분해
I’d rather keep it simple, I’m too good for you

내 사랑이라 믿었는데 oh oh
I believed you were my love but oh oh

오늘도 바쁘다고 말하는 너 혹시나 전화해봤지만
Today you said you were busy, I tried phoning you but

역시 뒤에선 여자 웃음소리가 들려 oh no
As expected, in the background I heard a girl’s laugh oh no

cause I don’t care e e e e e e
cause I don’t care e e e e e e

난 너땜에 울며 지새던 밤을 기억해 boy
Because of you, I remember crying till dawn boy

더 후회할 널 생각하니 맘이 쉬웠네 boy
I regret every time I think about you when my heart was too easy, huh boy?

날 놓치긴 아깝고 갖기엔 시시하잖니
I’m too good to throw away and too boring to have

있을때 잘하지 너 왜 이제와 매달리니
You should have treated me better when we were together why are you clinging to me now

[CL]
속아준 거짓말만해도 수백번
You fooled me with your lies hundreds of times

오늘 이후로 난 남자 울리는 bad girl
From today on, I’ll be a bad girl who makes guys cry

이젠 눈물 한방울 없이 널 비웃어
Now without a single tear, I’ll laugh at you

사랑이란 게임 속 loser
Loser who’s inside a game called love

무릎꿇고 잡을 수 있니
Get on your knees and take me back

아님 눈 앞에서 당장 꺼져
If not, get out of my sight right now

Christmas is coming, and if you ask me which christmas song i like most then i will tell you it’s Last Christmas by The Beatles. Here is a nice little Flash MTV for this song, hope you all like it. 🙂

Artist: The Beatles
Title: Last Christmas

Wait
Oh yes, merry Christmas little girl
Hey!
Last year, you left me, little girl…

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

Once bitten and twice as shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognize me?
Well
It’s been a year
It doesn’t surprise me

Last christmas,
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying “I love you”
I meant it
Now I know what a fool I’ve been
But if you kissed me now
I know you’d fool me again

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart (oh yeah)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special

A crowded room
Friends with tired eyes
I’m hiding from you
And your soul of ice
My god I thought you were
Someone to rely on Me?
I guess I was a shoulder to cry on

A face on a lover with a fire in his heart
A man under cover but you tore me apart
Ooh, now i’ve found a real love
You’ll never fool me again

Last Christmas (twice as shy)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (you still catch my eye)
This year
To save me from tears (do you recognize me?)
I’ll give it to someone special (no, it doesn’t surprise me)

Last Christmas (I wrapped it up and sent it)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (saying “I love you” I meant it)
This year (what a fool i’ve been)
To save me from tears
I’ll give it to someone special (I know you’ll fool me again)

Last Christmas
I gave you my heart (oh yeah)
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Last Christmas (oh yeah)
I gave you my heart
But the very next day you gave it away (gave it away)
This year
To save me from tears (from tears)
I’ll give it to someone special (special)

Merry Christmas to you all~!

Title: 分手快樂

我無法幫你預言
I cannot help you predict

委曲求全有沒有用
Whether it will be useful to keep wishing hard

可是我多麼不捨
But I really cannot stand to see

朋友愛的那麼苦痛
A friend suffering so much for love

愛可以不問對錯
Love may not care about right or wrong

至少要喜悅感動
[But] at least it should make you happy and touched at heart

如果他總為別人撐傘
If he always opens his umbrella for someone else

妳何苦非為他等在雨中
Why should you wait for him in the rain?

泡咖啡讓妳暖手
[I] made coffee to warm your hands

想擋擋妳心口裡的風
Wishing to block the wind at the door of your heart

妳卻想上街走走
But you preferred to go for a walk on the streets

吹吹冷風會清醒的多
In the cold wind, your mind will get much clearer

妳說妳不怕分手
You said you weren’t afraid of breaking up

只有一點遺憾難過
Just feeling a little regret and sadness

情人節就要來了 剩自己一個
Valentine’s Day is coming, [and you’re] left alone

其實愛對了人 情人節每天都過
Actually if [you] love the right person, every day will be Valentine’s Day

分手快樂　祝妳快樂
Happy breaking up, I wish you happiness

妳可以找到更好的
You can find a better [person]

不想過冬　厭倦沉重
[If you] don’t want to spend time in winter, [if your] fatigue is weighing [you] down

就飛去熱帶的島嶼游泳
Then fly to the tropic islands for a swim

分手快樂　請妳快樂
Happy breaking up, please be happy

揮別錯的才能和對的相逢
Only after saying goodbye to the wrong [person] can you meet the right one

離開舊愛　像坐慢車
Leaving an old love is like riding a slow car

看透徹了心就會是晴朗的
When [you’ve] seen it through, [your] heart will become clear and free

沒人能把誰的幸福沒收
No one can wipe away another’s happiness

妳發誓妳會活的有笑容
You swear that you will live life with a smile

妳自信時候真的美多了
You’re really much more beautiful when you’re confident

Wish that everyone is happy…

A very nice song to share with you all…

Artist: 张韶涵
Title: 隐形的翅膀

每一次 都在徘徊孤单中坚强
Each time, I become stronger in loneliness.

每一次 就算很受伤也不闪泪光
Each time, I hold off my tears even when I’m hurt deeply.

我知道 我一直有双隐形的翅膀
I know I have a pair of invisible wings that will let me fly.

带我飞 飞过绝望
Fly over despair.

不去想 他们拥有美丽的太阳
I will not envy that they have the beautiful sun.

我看见 每天的夕阳 也会有变化
I can see that the dusk is different everyday.

我知道 我一直有双隐形的翅膀
I know I have a pair of invisible wings that will let me fly.

带我飞 给我希望
Give me hope.

我终于看到 所有梦想都开花
I finally see all my dreams come true.

追逐的年轻 棰都嘹亮
The youthful pursuits. How the singing voice resonant?

我终于翱翔 用心凝望不害怕
I finally take flight. I look forward and am not afraid

哪里会有风 就飞多远吧
I would fly however far the wind takes me.

隐形的翅膀 让梦恒久比天长
Invisible wings let dreams last forever.

留一个愿望 让自己想象
I’ll keep one wish for my own imagination

I’m so sad… T_T..
