January Playlist (#TT135)

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.”  -Victor Hugo

Hello lovelies!

It's been a while since the last time I made a TT post. So here it is, the first TT post in 2014! It's gonna be a long one so enjoy! ;)

What's on your current playlist? 

I actually have more to share but it would be wayyyy too long. So I decided to break it into 2 posts. Can't wait to share part 2! 

On a different note, I'm back from Vietnam and my family is coming to Singapore to celebrate Chinese New Year with me :) I'm so in a holiday mood! 

'Til next post! 

xo, Jo

Rock it like it's hot (#TT123)

Hello lovelies!

Check these songs out! Worth listening! :)

Busy, busy, busy! Aghhhh this week has been so busy. I still have many songs that I want to share with you so stay tuned! :)

xo, Jo

Aly & AJ new music, Ellie Goulding and more! (#TT117)

Hey lovelies!

I know it's slightly late, but it's better late than never right? Hope you enjoy my music picks this week!

I was never really a fan of Aly & AJ's back in 2007, I guess I only remember one song of theirs: "Potential Breakup Song". Anyone remembers that?

I was fairly surprised of their transformation. They kinda look like the Olsen twins back in 2003ish :D and I like their new style of music! It has that indie vibe to it and I also like their boho-vintage style in the music video. 

Beautiful!

I'm proud to say that I've attended Taylor Swift's concert before :3 she rocks the stage like a pro! Well, she is one :)

Rating: NC16!

I guess I have a new favorite band! :)

Which song(s) do you like?

xo, Jo

Hello July! (#TT116)

Hello lovelies!

Can you believe it's July already?! Gosh time flies like super fast!

Sorry for missing last week's TT, I was back in my hometown enjoying my super short break and really took myself off from computer for a few days. Wish I could go back every month!

Let's what I have for you in store today :)

New Paramore music video. "Weird" was my first impression haha. It reminds me of Pacman. Love the lyrics of this song though ;)

Pink! Or should I say P!nk ! Haha. She's so at the top now! So happy for her :)

One of my favorite songs off their new album, "Save Rock and Roll". They're making their music videos in a form of a story line. Interesting but the story line is VERY TRAGIC. This fourth part is better than the previous ones, which I think are pretty gross :/ hopefully there would be a happy ending! 

NEW GIRLS ON MY BLOCK:

Reminds me of Ke$ha a little bit? Hmm..

Love it!!

Which songs do you like?

xo, Jo

New bands on the list (#TT112)

Hi lovelies!

Just a quick music post of the week.

All of the bands below are from the same record company, Hopeless Records.

Hope you enjoy!

Interesting band name huh?

The lyrics are kinda sad :/

This is so cool! A rock band with brass instruments. Like it :)

Let me know what you think!

Have a great week!

xo, Jo

May Music! (#TT110)

Hello lovelies!

I know I’ve been MIA for a while, been so busy with work :/

I have so many beauty product reviews coming up! Hope things will go as planned so I’ll have time to blog.

I can’t believe it’s already May! Almost half of 2013 has gone by just like that *POOF*!

Check out this music list and tell me which song you like :)

This boy definitely has grown up, I mean look at him! I can hear young girls screaming from the YouTube comments lol

I never really watched X Factor USA but I think this song is pretty catchy ;)

New Girl Crush 1.0

SO. CUTE. Nuff said.

Glad I found them! P.S. The dog barking in the middle of the video is super random though.

New Girl BIG Crush 2.0–didn’t know she’s the one who sings ‘Ready or Not’! She reminds me of Cher Lloyd a bit ;)

Wasn’t so into it at first but then it got AWESOME-R ;)

New song by Fun.–Quite monotonous in my opinion, but I like the video :)

Hope you enjoyed!!

‘Till next time!

xo, Jo

Homecoming of my favorites! (#TT108)

Let’s see those who are back!! I’m SO excited!

Ms. Lavigne is back baby!!!! So excited for her new album!!

FOB! Uh oh! Love the song but the video..not so much. It’s kinda gross :/

Oh yeahhh RJA! I’ve missed them so much! This video covers the entire EP :)

Also, last month I posted Demi’s Heart Attack and I’ve found that other ex-Disney stars are back in the music industry as well. I’ve never been a fan of any of them (I like Demi though), but I guess it’s worth to listen since the theme of the post is homecoming, baby!

• Snoop Lion ft. Miley Cyrus  – Ashtrays and Heartbreaks
• Jonas Brothers – Pom Poms --- they look different now!
• Selena Gomez – Come & Get it --- I like the Indian background music :D

Last homecoming queen!

Kinda disappointed with this song. Nicole’s voice is so powerful and this song just doesn’t show that AT ALL. I don’t think this style suits her.

That’s all for the homecoming kings and queens of music!

Let’s end this post with the latest music video of Paramore!

The hair gurlll the hairrr. Hayley looks like a doll :3

Take care!

xo, Jo

Mainstream vs Underground (#TT107)

Late TT post!

I’ve been super busy lately with work, and thus slacking in blogging. Sigh.. I wish I had more free time!

I guess I’ll do “mainstream vs underground” theme more often in the future, because my music playlist is literally a combination of the two =) Talking about music, do check out this cool and funny web series on YouTube created by The Fine Bros: MyMusic! It’s about seeing different music genres described in actual individual personality haha. It’s hilarious!

Mainstream of the week:

Akon!!! He’s alive!!! LOL

Yo Sanchezzzz! Looking forward to hearing other songs in her album!

 

Underground of the week:

Discovered this gem from a YouTube fashion guru, FashionRocksMySocks

Introduced this unique song from boyfie =P

Which song(s) do you like?

Hope you’re having a fantastic week!

#truth LOL

Other good examples: (new) Paramore, Forever The Sickest Kids, (latest) Simple Plan, (new) VersaEmerge. Basically every genre is mixed with pop nowadays :p

xo, Jo

Give me some Pop! (#TT92)

Second single from TSwizzle, YAY! I simply love the video. I’m not sure where she shot this but I think it’s somewhere in Europe? Her outfits are the best, just look at that lilac dress! OMG, beautiful! Music wise, I think it’s very her style. I’ve actually listened to several song previews of her new album, RED, and well, I think she has done a good job in experimenting with new styles, but to me it just can’t beat her original style, which appears in this song. I’m getting myself a copy of RED this week! :D

CRJ’s latest single, “This Kiss”! I’ve first heard this song from 90210 and I think it’s a cute song. Very CRJ!

Just like how I discovered CRJ’s “This Kiss”, 90210 also introduced me to Sammy Adams! It’s just one of those songs that you can always dance to with your friends. I wish I had found it sooner!

Kelly Clarkson is unstoppable!!! Another powerful song that relates to many individuals =)

Alright, last week I posted a song by Alex Goot and this week let me introduce you to his good friends who are known as a band “Against The Current”. Alex and the band have been making a number of covers that are preeeety awesome. I really like the lead singer, Chrissy’s voice. It’s so powerful and it reminds me of Paramore and Versa Emerge. But still, they’re all different. Plus, she’s really pretty! I actually have 2 persons in my mind that I think resemble her face. First, the beautiful fashion blogger, Lovely Pepa and the cute Princesstard from the daily family vlogs, SHAYTARDS. Check them out and you’ll see what I see! Haha I suddenly got all excited to have found the resemblance of these 3 girls :p

Let me know which song(s) that you like this week!

Take care! <3

My 21st Birthday!

Hello peeps!

Just want to do a little recap on my birthday last month. I don’t know why it took me so long to do this post but yeah, better late than never, right?

So my birthday “celebration” started pretty early.

I got my first present from my mom in August when my parents came for a visit.

Thennnn a week prior to my birthday, me and boyfie went to Yellowcard concert, which was super awesome!! This one was my own present for myself :)

Oh, have I mentioned that I bought their album at a local CD store  week before the concert and found out that it’s AUTOGRAPHED?!

No, there wasn’t any contest or anything, it just.. happened! I didn’t know what to think! It’s legitimately real marker. To my disbelief, I had a thought that the staff might have done it.. but, really? Oh well, doesn’t matter how it was done, I just felt so lucky!!

On the actual birthday itself, my colleagues bought a cake and we had a mini celebration. Most of them were away for a business trip though, so there were only few people left in the office. But I still appreciated it! :)

Later in the evening, I met up with my friends for my birthday dinner. It was a F1 weekend, so the cabs were all fully booked and the train was loaded with F1-goers. My last option? Call my friend to pick me up! :D

ALL FOR ME!!!

Showing off my new bracelet, thus my weird hand position :p

After dinner, we were ready to hit the casino. But before that went to the locker area to put our stuff. Well, my presents hehe. Then… I saw a box.

I seriously thought it was someone else’s belonging left behind! Then my boyfie gave me that smile. OH , his surprise was successful, yay!

LOL my face.

And nowww…, casino time!

I only bet $5 on the slot machine coz I was a chicken like that. Wait, what? No, I was just being conservative. I’m always conservative haha. Also, since it was my very first time entering the casino, I did a lot of observation, because I didn’t understand a thing! I suck at playing cards or whatever that needs strategies lol. So I wanted to fully understand the games first before actually putting my money. At the end I roughly understood 2 of them though. But I didn’t play..hmm perhaps next time!!

This year is loaded with jewelleries!! And skincare products..haha


But this one’s got to be my favorite ;)

Thanks for everyone who made the effort to make my 21st birthday memorable! I love y’all! <3

It's October?! (#90)

Hello lovelies!

Yes, I know it's been forever since my last post, which is WHY my playlist this time is longer than usual. I can't believe that I only have one post for September! 0.0 Sigh..

Anyways, enjoy! :)

Taylor Swift wrote a song for a boy who lost a battle with cancer. This song definitely shakes up your emotions at least a tiny bit!

New country boy that I feel has a great potential to be in the "Rising Artist" list. He has a character, plays many music instruments and possesses that cute little face. Not to mention that he has a catchy name. What else could you ask for, right? This song is just super sweet and I simply love the monochrome style of the music video. 

How I missed All Time Low!! Finally they're back with a new album "Don't Panic" which hit the stores yesterday! I really like the lyrics of this song. Totally can relate to some parts of it since I just started working!

Yes yes YESSS!!! I'm always excited when 2AM Club releases a new song :D I have to honestly say that this is not so much of my type of music but this band never failed to impress me :)

Seems like lots of artists are back with a new album this year. Ke$ha is definitely one of them! I think she shows more vocals in this song, which is good. I wanted to say that this song is so catchy but DUH, "catchy" is Ke$ha's middle name. 

ThePianoGuys' rendition for David Guetta's Titanium. A club song made into classical - how brilliant! I look up so much to these guys. They always combine today's songs with classical songs and every single cover turn out amazing. They are TRUE musicians, like really.

Finally the most anticipated song for a highly anticipated movie, "Skyfall" by Adele for the new James Bond movie. I really like how the instruments sound in this song - very "James Bond-ish" :P

Hope you enjoyed this playlist! Which one is your favorite?

xo, Jo

Hello September! (#TT 89)

Hey guys,

As usual, following is a short list of songs that I’ve been listening to.

Enjoy! :)

Finally the official video! Only one word to describe it: CUTE!

Owl City + CRJ ? Unexpected combination that turns out to be awesome!

These boys have grown up, enough said! :)

Like ‘em? Hate ‘em? Meh?

xo, Jo
