Few days ago, i heard my friend saying that there's a hightone power singer 楊培安(Yang Pei An) and also that some of my other friends saying about, If 张雨生(Zhang Yu Sheng) still alive, among themselves, 张雨生 and 楊培安, who has the highest tone?

I hereby dedicate this post to 张雨生

I'll be introducing 楊培安. To those who do not know who he is.

Here are some Vids. Please take some time to view it and enjoy...

快樂星期天

From here, you can see how 楊培安 was known and got popular.

When i was in Taiwan, i saw before commercial of "Taiwan Beer" and the song was sang by 楊培安 and thats how he was being introduced to all and got popular.

20060805綜藝大哥大-楊培安


After viewing this video, you'll hear 楊培安 saying that he had been in singing in Pubs for more then 10++ of years, and that he admired 张雨生 alot. He also said that 张雨生 was still the only highest tone male singer in asian region, and that 张雨生 have 5 keys higher then 楊培安 himself.

张雨生 original voice can hit a "2 dot LA" tone and his fake tone can reach a "3 dot RE". How amazing was it. Unbelievable? Believe it.

張雨生超高音

From this video you'll be able to hear him hitting a "2 dot LA" and "3 dot RE" tone.

張雨生和林志炫-比高音&比低音

張雨生 vs 林志炫 High tone and Low tone.

When i was in my younger days, i've been exposed to his music, and i can say that i really liked some of it. Some of the rhythms are still in my mind until now. Eg. 口是心非, 我的未來不是夢, 天天想你 and 一天到晚游泳的魚.

Ella Solo 天天想你

My most favorite song from 張雨生 is this song 天天想你. I post this which was sang by Ella, because its a short and sweet one. A beautiful verse.

All i can say was, he's one great singer, with powerful high pitch tone. Never to be forgotten.

Thanks to 楊培安, who brought back the feel of 张雨生 to all those who remembered him.

May 楊培安 albums be of great success.

Waterspout spotted in Singapore

A waterspout was observed in the waters off Marine Parade yesterday.

In waters off Singapore, one or two sightings of waterspout are usually made in an average year.
It is consider a rare sight to us as we would hardly encounter any natural disasters. (Of cause we would not want it to happen either.) Luckily no one was hurt. Well, the last waterspout was observed last August.

Here are some photos taken yesterday.

As i was busy working, i overheard some commotions from my colleague who then rush to the windows to watch the sightings. When i asked whats going on? They say they spotted "Twister". When i walk to the window to see it, it had already dispersed.

The photos above, are taken from my colleague.

How did waterspout form.

The principal processes of waterspout formation have been well documented. It is believed that low level vortices produced along convergent boundaries become stretched in coincidence with updrafts of developing cumulus or cumulonimbus as they become vertically collocated. These surface based vortices have been observed to form along shear axes when a sea breeze interacts with the synoptic surface flow, along outflow boundaries, or in pertubated flow as a result of land/sea frictional differences such as down-wind of islands. Low level instability and lift is further enhanced when boundary interaction occurs, with spouts often developing near this intersection.

Apologies to all...

For not updating this few weeks. Was very busy then. Last weekend i wanted to upload some pictures. But blogger won't load for me. I wonder did it load for you all?

Anyway, the week before, on 6th May, we went to watch Spiderman 3.

What i can say was, i'm both disappointed and not disappointed of that show.

Why? Its too long winded, its like as if i'm struggling to wait for the exciting part. Perhaps its because of the traillers i've watch that makes me sooo... into it and thats why i'm very antisipated to watch Spiderman 3.

I'm a big fan of Comics, and of coz not forgetting Marvel and DC too.

Look at how big they made Spiderman 3. Posters everywhere.

These are some of the posters i got it from online, which infact there're even more of it from different countries...

What a fateful sunday.

This is what happened in point forms.

-We're going out.
-Loud bang was heard.
-Deardear's father was outside already. Looking at what had happen.
-Neighbour on 3rd Floor shouted. Your vehicle had been hit.
-Father shouted to deardear, faster go stop that Taxi, the driver hit your car.
-Deardear, mum and i ran out and stand in the middle of the road to stop the Taxi from hit and run.

Pictures are taken.

This YellowTop Taxi was reversing at the carpark towards the Handicap slot in which the slot is sufficient for 2 vehicles to get in. But that idiot old man just hit and run, he even said that he did not hear any sound and claim that our vehicle was actually like that.

Luckily, we got a piece of his behind light covering directly on the floor where he hit. You can see his behind light covering got chipped off. Thou his bumper seems flawless but still can see scratch mark done to both his and our vehicle which was Parked there innocently. Even bits of his behind light covering was found on our vehicle.

Anyway, with all the evidence gathered, he can't run away.

That taxi driver being even more stupid, he rather choose to claim insurance instead of paying $350 to fix the dented bumper he caused. He claim that we're chopping him coz its too expensive as he say he would rather pay us $200. By then, we're already at the car garage store, where professional said $350 is already the cheapest, somemore, our vehicle is a new one.

Hence, he want it to be done that way claiming by insurance. Whole of the bumper will be replaced, included the side metal plate too.

This is the new front bumper and the side metal plate. Look how blink blink it is.

By the way. This is what happened in the morning.
We're in the middle of hiking, my deardear's dad called for me, and along with my deardear's aunt, they passed me this...

He just started Poly not long ago and need to do soooo many project le. -.- Anyway, Thanks Edmond. I WANTED TO GO OUT... Whole morning, i kept bragging to go out but don't know why kept draging and draging.

Okay. After we went to Bras Basah Complex, we went to Raffles Hotel's Louis Vuitton and Swarovski to walk walk. After leaving Raffles Hotel, while on the way going back to Bugis Junction, my deardear point to me a Signboard. "Mint Toy Museum" So, we crashed in checking the price. Per adult: SGD$10. But on that day, they got 25% discount. Hence, we paid $7.50 per person.

Movie Session

Finally... Back to GV. We've since been watching at The Cathay since last year.

Last Night. We watch Sunshine

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
And i've learned something new from the show.
It takes 8mins for the Light to travel from our Sun to Earth.

As i've did some research online. Heres some facts to share with you all.

Earth-Sun distance, d = roughly 150 million km (defined as 1 Astronomical Unit/AU)
So at 100kmph, 43,500,000 hours or 4,965.75 years.

Which mean's some how or rather. Use maths to calculate... on the fastest time that we could even survive. We may not even know if we could Survive the journey. Lol...

Science has always been my favorate subject ever. I have always been facinated by science ever since when i'm young. So, i don't mind anyone sharing some thoughts with me.

Good Day.

Last Sunday!!!

Woot! Sorry for the late updates... was busying of work whole week, hence come back home tired and also no time to blog.

Well, here it is... Last Sunday's Tree top walk. Why do i go there again and again? To keep fit and also to slim down. But why do i post pictures of it again? Its because we've took a different trail before, we're walking towards MacRitchie.
This time, its towards Tree top. After viewing the pictures, you'll know why.

I'm putting up photos accordingly from where we've started to the end. So as to those who're interested to go. May have a good picture of the place.

Along the track above the road. We saw this "White LingZhi/Snow LingZhi"(ABOVE) Name tat i gave. BUT PLEASE DO NOT PLUCK IT. I do not know if its edible or not. But i think it might be poisonious. It's not at all like the Herbal one(BELOW).

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
After walking along the stretch, will reach here. Where you'll see the Sign poll. Which shows you where you're heading. This time round, we're heading Rightside towards the Ranger station and to the Tree top.

From here, we can see nature's beautiful scenery. You have to come here to experiance it all to understand what i meant. But i believe, for those who're afraid of heights, will spent time on thinking, "Its so freaking high, will i be falling, will this bridge snap? omg Omg OMG!!!"

After leaving the hanging bridge, you'll need to walk a long flight of stairs. For those who hate stairs, you'll be cursing and swearing alot this time. Do you think we're heading downwards? NO WAY, its a flight of stairs you'll climb, i took it from the top to bottom. But, only after you've reached the stairs top, then you'll be heading downwards. What the Hell right? Stairs and stairs. Yeah, what the hell. But i just love working out and sweat it out.

Back to Ranger Station. Theres a board introducing what animals you'll see here.
I took this Blue Malayan Coral Snake pic, to tell you all to be aware of the trails you'll be walking. Cos, the week before, we've met this snake along the trail. My girlfriend's father had to take a branch on the ground to make it go back into the grass, so that we could all pass through without getting bitten.

Finally, back to the carpark and off we go. (By the way, this is not our vehicle).

Hope these overall photos you've seen here could get you a picture of how to go ya?
Good Luck.
