need for speed undercover

i LOVE THIS GAME!

i've always been a fan of "need for speed" series. i remember i first played it on my pc when i was... 14? haha!!! i also play it with my brother on his PS2. graphics so nice! and the nissan 350 and porsche 911 and the lambor, wah lau! lol

graphics on DS is not that fantastic lah, but i'm not complaining. i completed the need for speed carbon: own the city, and it was great! the handling of the car and game play was pleasant. i hate it when the controls are difficult. anyway, Undercover has very friendly controls, the cars wont anyhow spin out of the lane or watever. i've unlocked my lambor liao. its green! lol. i know lambo are usually in orange or yellow, but orange is my nissan 350, and yellow is my pagani zonda. heh heh. machaim i own them in real life. lol. anyway, i feel good when i managed to upgrade the car parts. and see my lambo go faster and faster.. haha!!

the biggest attraction of this NFS series is MAGGIE Q. she is HOT!!!! omg. she's got to be in my top 5 female celebrities list. haha. the game story is simple, as the title suggests, you play as a rookie police, going undercover to catch the baddies in the illegal racing gangs... there's a stage where you play as a cop and catch the thugs on the escape. in earlier stages of the game, you use normal police car. as the game progresses, you get to use better engined cars like BMWs and Mercs... there's even a porsche police car!!! wahahaha!! not bad eh, i guess police cars also gotta be of some standard, if you're gonna catch those racing gangs in their what, lambos and paganis. LOL.

summary of this blog entry;

1) i love this game! Need for Speed Undercover is worth 5/5 stars.
2) i love MAGGIE Q! she's worth 500 stars. haha.

caught in the act

they are the number 1 boyband in my heart. haha. they were actually the first boyband i really took notice and the only boyband i liked so much that i saved to buy every of their albums. they released 4 albums. i bought 3 cassette tapes lah. LOL. their 4th album is like a greatest hits, so i didnt buy. now i see my tapes, dont even have mould! kept in good condition. hehe.

obviously i know all members of the group, Lee, Bastiaan, Benjamin and Eloy de Jong. although Lee is british, they were considered a Dutch boyband. the other 3 are dutch. seriously, i cant be the only one who supported them back in the days. they were very popular! now when i look back at their music videos, omg can faint. haha. but hey, it was consider hip and cool last time hoh. haha.

my brother wanted to buy CDs at chinatown that day. i went along, the shop is very small, the CDs were not stacked in organised/alphabetised manner. then i heng heng managed to spot CAUGHT IN THE ACT's 4th album! CD! with all the greatest hits!!! so now not scared my tapes will turn mouldy!! haha... it was on clearance sale, so HAPPY!! my brother thought i was crazy. i pulled out the CD excitedly and showed him, he was like blanked face, and said "Siao!" hahahhaa... aiyah, i like them mah!

boybands of the '90s...

haha. i was bored and surfing on youtube, i found a Kavana music video! on the description, the user said the video took years to find. haha!! i couldnt agree more. a few months back, i tried to search for his latest news, pictures etc, not much info abt him! sheesh. but more recently, more pictures and stuff of him are available... hmm... i was thinking where he disappeared to all these years! i was mad abt him in secondary school. i even bought his "Instinct" album leh, CD somemore. its my first CD i bought. at that time, everyone listens to cassette tapes. haha!! and then at his peak and most famous point, he disappeared or retired from the music industry. and i read that he came back in 2007, doing shows and stage performances. he looks fatter and more rugged now, so man!!! haha.

and den i started to think of the boy bands that i quite like, in the 90s. lets not talk abt the mainstream super popular ones like Take That, N'sync, Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Boyzone etc. i wana mention some groups that released just 1 or 2 albums and then kenna disbanded and disappear. haha.

1. Human Nature

i wasn't exactly crazy about them, i just like their songs. i remember they sang Wishes, He Don't Love You, Cruel... so nice! i thought they disbanded long ago, i searched online and amazingly, they are still very active in Australia (their hometown) and still releasing albums there. wah. seldom see longevity in boybands, so impressed with them. haha..

2. Take 5

err. i cant find any of their pictures! i googled them, but cannot find! wah lau. they are not even on the Wiki page! haha. i didnt buy their CD, i hope im not making this up, since dont have any signs of their existence, haha. anyway, five members, 4 of them are very good looking. so its not a surprise i liked them. they sang "I Give"... and cant recall other songs right now. haha!

3. Code Red

they are not exactly super cute, i liked them for their songs, like What Good is a Heart, Can We Talk, This is Our Song... cant really find their mp3s now *sad*. i remember we had this newspaper reading session in Cedar, a few of us sang the song What Would You Do If, quietly at the back, then the chorus quite high pitch, i think it was wanrou who turned back and said "i thought got ghosts singing". it was so funny, because the highest note is the "would" word, and we sang like "WOOOd..." which sounded like ghosts in cartoons going "ooohhh...". we burst out laughing. almost kenna the discipline mistress's attention.

4. Five

wah... actually i dont remember any of their names. vaguely. im guessing there's a Rich, Scott? or some sort. i have their first CD. with all the nice songs like Until the Time is Through, When the Lights Go Out..

5. A1

i LOVE them! my most favourite boybands among the 5 i mention here. and i know all their names, Christian, Paul, Ben and Mark (from left to right). haha. and i have all their 3 albums! so sad they disbanded after the 3rd album. sigh.

i youtubed some of the music videos. OMG. so cheesy!!! like Take That also had very cheesy moves, playing with water etc, with no significant storylines whatsoever. cant believe its how boybands shoot their music videos tat time. the best part, we liked watching them! *faints*
