P!nk - Bridge Of Light

When you think
Hope is lost
And giving up
Is all you got,
Blue turns black,
Your confidence is cracked,
There seems no turning back from here

Sometimes there isn't an obvious explanation
While the holiest stars can feel the strongest palpitations

That's when you can build a bridge of light,
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you can't give up the fight

That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's when you gotta be strong tonight,
Only love can build us a bridge of light

On your feet, I made a storm
You're convinced that you're all alone
Look at the stars, it's straight up the dark
You'll find your heart shines like the sun
Let's not let their anger get us lost
And the need to be right cause us way too high costs

That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you know it's worth the fight

That's when love turns nighttime into day
That's when loneliness goes away,
That's when you gotta be strong tonight
'cause only love can build us a bridge of light

Deep breath, take it on the chin
But don't forget to let the love back in

That's when love can build a bridge of light
That's what turns the wrong so right
That's when you can't give up the fight

That's when love turns nighttime into day,
That's when loneliness goes away
That's when you gotta be strong tonight
'cause only love can build us a bridge of light

Only love can build us a bridge of light...

There's a girl

You've just walked through it

And I remember all those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.

We always say, say like it is
And the truth is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here.
All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it

THE BAND PERRY - "If I Die Young"

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Andy Grammer ~ Keep Your Head Up

I've been waiting on the sunset
Bills on my mindset
I can get deny they're getting high
Higher than my income
My income's breadcrumbs
I've been trying to survive

The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps me realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine.
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

I've got my hands in my pockets,
Kickin these rocks.
Its kinda hard to watch this life go by.
I'm buyin in the skeptics,
Skeptics mess with, the confidence in my eyes

I'm seeing all the angles, starts to get tangled
I start to comprimise
My life and the purpose.
Is it all worth it,
Am I gonna turn out fine?
Oh, you'll turn out fine.
Fine, oh, you'll turn out fine.

But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

And you can let your hair down, eh.

I know it's hard, know its hard,
To remember sometimes,
But you gotta keep your head up, oh,
And you can let your hair down, eh.

Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.
Its a circle, circling,
Around again, it comes around again.

Only rainbows after rain
The sun will always come again.

Matt Nathanson ~ Faster

You're so delicious
you're so soft
sweet on the tip of my tongue
you taste like sunlight
and strawberry bubble gum

you bite my lip
you spike my blood
you make my heart beat faster

own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster

it's the way you swell, slow
pushing right out your seams
it's the way you smile, baby
when you've got me on my knees

your all night noise
your siren howl
you make my heart, beat, faster

own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster

cause I jump back, crash, I crawl
I beg and steal, I follow you
yeah you own me
and you make my heart beat faster

(I can't get enough
because its on like
I guess this world is over to me)

you own me, you own
you rattle my bones
you turn me over and over
'till I can't control myself
make me a liar
one big disaster
you make my heart beat faster

Beyoncé - Best Thing I Never Had

What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around (hey my baby)
What goes around comes back around...
There was a time
I thought, that you did everything right
No lies, no wrong
Boy I, must've been outta my mind
So when I think of the time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
So baby good lookin' out

[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had
I bet it sucks to be you right now

So sad, you're hurt
Boo hoo, oh, did you expect me to care?
You don't deserve my tears
I guess that's why they ain't there
When I think that there was a time that I almost loved you
You showed your ass and baby yes I saw the real you

Thank God you blew it
Thank God I dodged the bullet
I'm so over you
Baby good lookin' out

[Chorus]
I wanted you bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
I said, you turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I'll never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby I bet sucks to be you right now

I know you want me back
It's time to face the facts
That I'm the one that's got away
Lord knows that it would take another place, another time, another world, another life
Thank God I found the good in goodbye

[Chorus]
I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
You turned out to be the best thing I never had
And I will always be the, best thing you never had.
Best thing you never had!

I used to want you so bad
I'm so through with that
Cause honestly you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh you turned out to be the best thing I never had
Oh I will never be the best thing you never had
Oh baby, I bet it sucks to be you right now

Goes around, comes back around
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now
Goes around, comes back around
Bet it sucks to be you right now

Gavin DeGraw - Not Over YOU

Dreams, that's where I have to go
To see your beautiful - face anymore
I stare at a picture of you, and listen to the radio
Hope, hope there's a conversation
Where we both admit we had it good
But until then it's alienation, I know
That much is understood - and I realize

[Chorus]
If you ask me how I'm doing
I would say I'm doing just fine
I would lie and say that you're not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I'm forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I'm - not over you (not over you)

Damn, damn girl you do it well
And I thought you were innocent
Took this heart and put it through hell
But still you're magnificent
I'm a boomerang, doesn't matter how you throw me
I turn around and I'm back in the game
Even better than the old me
But I'm not even close without you

[Chorus]

And if I had the chance to renew
You know there isn't a thing I wouldn't do
I could get back on the right track
But only if you'd be convinced
So until then...

[Chorus]

Fast Five Movie

Fast Five (also known as Fast & Furious 5^[3] and Fast & Furious 5: Rio Heist^[4])

The film stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Jordana Brewster and Dwayne Johnson is the 5th film in the The Fast and the Furious .

Fast Five follows Brian O'Conner (Walker), Dom Toretto (Diesel) and Mia Toretto (Brewster) as they plan a heist to steal $100 million from corrupt businessman Hernan Reyes (Joaquim de Almeida) while being pursued for arrest by U.S. DSS agent Luke Hobbs (Johnson).

Fast Five also featuring those important characters from Fast & Furious (2009) and The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006).

Rio - The Movie

Rio - The Movie is a movie about a bird of Spix's Macaw ~ been named as Blu, who is unable to fly and captured by smugglers and taken from Rio de Janeiro to Moose Lake, Minnesota.

Since then, Blu been living with Linda & met Tulio, an ornithologist - reveals that Blu is the last male of his species, and he needs to mate with a female to preserve it.

They went to Rio & met Jewel, a female macaw who only cares about escaping.Later on, Blu & Jewel been captured by local smugglers who want to sell them. But they managed to escape despite of Blu's lackness (flying). The adventures & humors just completely blend so well! Alongside with other character's like Rafael (the taucans), Luiz (bulldog), Pedro (Will.I.am) & Nico (Jamie Foxx)... that I think totally gave major impact in perfecting the movie.

The music... definitely captured my ears... & I am in luv... I mean, come on... who can doubt Will.I.Am (the Black Eyed Peas) & Jamie Foxx, rite?

Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa - review

Been able to watch the movie of "Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa" or The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines (HMM) on the 1st night HMM officially premiered!

Outside of the cinema... everyone gettin excited to watch the most wanted, waited movie since it is a very COSTLY movie (RM8 millions)...

WARNING:- SPOILERS ahead... if YOU haven't watch the movie & willing to accept the consequences... YOU ARE ALLOWED to stay & read... heh!

First of all... I have no intention to compare HMM with any international epic's movie such as LOTR or Narnia or perhaps POC...

And it's been awhile Malaysia didn't produced such a movie after "Puteri Gunung Ledang".

Adapted from our local history, an ancient Malay literature that chronicles the bloodline of Merong Mahawangsa and the foundation of the Kedah, a state in Malaysia

da movie:-

The story line is superb... is about a hero named Merong Mahawangsa, who's been asked to escort a Prince of ROM, Marcus Carpenius to meet his bride to be, Princess Meng Li Hua.

A chaos occured when the Gerudas attacked them & kidnapped the Princess...
And the story lines begin to expand...

For me... thou HMM tryin to focus on Merong... but I think the supporting actor & actress are more good compared to the hero.
Big applaused to Kamawas, Embuk, Ying Ying

I am so regret & feelin sad watching the transition scene of mode in HMM... totally SUCKS & more likely unfinished work of slideshow...
I mean... come on... you managed to produce such a technology movie... but yet, the flow of the movie... my guudness!
Perhaps... shooting this kind of movie type... I don't think 52 days is not a GOOD IDEA at all!

Not forgetting... the SCRIPT... both in English & Malay...
Definitely... not good e'nuff...
I just can't believe... it is so damn TERRIBLE!
Never thought that... KRU Studio's got problem to produce such a proper (at least...) English & Malay kuno language...
I mean.. come on... you guys already produced so much songs & English album...
I read in few interviews... saying that da production been doing research almost more than a year (for REAL?)

But.. I do SALUTES & RESPECT the action packed scenes & the props, especially Geruda's territory!
Totally awesome!

Another 2 days before the "The Malay Chronicles: Bloodlines (Hikayat Merong Mahawangsa)" hits the cinemas!

Taken from the OFFICIAL WEBSITE synopsis:

     Based loosely on the 16th century historical document entitled ‘The Malay Annals’, ’The Chronicles of Merong Mahawangsa’ is an action-packed epic feature film, with mythical characters, magical moments and dazzling visual-effects sequences.

     Merong Mahawangsa was a descendant of Alexander the Great, a renowned naval captain and traveler who came to Asia several hundred years ago.

     The year is 120 AD… a time when the Roman Empire is at the height of its power, during the reign of Hadrian – one of the Five Good Emperors. Meanwhile in China, the Han Dynasty is firmly cemented as the ruling empire and is expanding into Central Asia… one hundred years before the period of the Three Kingdoms.

    As the Roman fleet did their repairs and traded in Goa, they asked Merong Mahawangsa to escort a Roman prince to Southeast Asia, to wed a beautiful Chinese princess from the Han Dynasty. The Chinese princess and the Roman prince are supposed to meet halfway and be married on neutral grounds.

     However, the pirate nation of Geruda had other plans. They decided to kidnap the Chinese princess and use her as ransom. En route to the Straits of Melaka, Merong Mahawangsa’s fleet was attacked by Geruda’s forces while stopping at a small island to replenish supplies.

    Will Merong Mahawangsa be able to rescue the Princess and re-unite her with her betrothed in a marriage that is set to bring together two great civilizations from the East and West ?
