Julia Sheer

more and more people are doing covers in their rooms/studios and just putting up on youtube and all. anybody can be a star these days huh *ahem* rebecca black *ahem*

recently knew that one girl in my hall actually has been recording covers as well.
had been looking at her songs on her youtube page. and she has nice vocals i must admit.

anyway, spent the whole afternoon, and night listening to this other girl today.
i think this cover of sparks fly is really nice. got drawn to her by this video and pretty soon i was checking out all her videos.




i wouldn't say that all of her songs/videos are nice though. she usually pairs up with another person.
but there are really some outstanding ones that i do like. this particular video below stood out for me.
taylor swift songs. listening to love story and songs from the previous albums make me realised that it has been so long, from first sem in hall til now. 1348.5 would know.




the chemistry between them. is magical.
eyes don't lie, do they.
a pity. they are no longer together.

maybe she knows when sparks fly was recorded. that the end was near.
i'm actually overcome with a tinge of sadness listening to that rendition.
what a difference it is from the mood of love story, and the same title by miranda cosworth.

this sem.

it probably took me a very long time.
but this sem, as i start to know more people in my course of study,
i began to realise the difference in effort that most people in my course are putting in and how much i'm putting in.

how much time i spend in front of the tv,
chats, surfing, blogging, on the computer,
games, sports on occasional nights,
mid night suppers every other night.

but somehow i don't regret everything i did.
because that was what i had set out to do.

of course along the way, not everything stays the same they were,
aims and objectives changes.

i like this sem.
i'm adapting to staying in hall like a proper resident washing my clothes (finally, oh i should get my own washing powder), staying in almost 5 nights a week,
albeit leading a phantom life and fading away like the hall's canteen vendors.

oh and as much as i would like to have friends in a double room to talk to and all,
i realised that a single room really appeals to me at this point in time.
there's this personal space and bubble that i value a lot and i get really irritated when it's breached.
of course it's always nice to see a familiar face in the room instead of a cold empty room, but for this sem, i realised that i would have frown upon anybody, everybody save except for one or two people as roomies. then again such encounters bring people closer and make you discover things that you would never have known about the other party.
i've no regrets about having my current roomie, he's great (most of the time :P) just that, there are many times when i would love to come back to the room and just blast the music and be in my own bubble. (yes, it's me. lol)

i like this sem. i really do.
i feel like i'm on a road to self discovery.
