Made a mad purchase of six CDs within two days not too long ago. Call me insane!
Okay, I didn't exactly pay for them all myself, most are shared with my sissy. She's becoming like me, tsk tsk tsk.
Jacky Cheung's 'Private Corner'. Bought it for mummy as her birthday present. It's almost entirely Jazz, easy to the ears and very very 'upper-class' sounding. No more cheesy Cantopop for the God of Songs! Yeah! Haha. A little disappointment that there are no self-penned songs in this album, but who cares! At least he opened his mouth to sing once again and insert vibe in (once again shall I mention) the dying music scene of Hong Kong. 
Glee! Hello all kids out there! Missing those days where you'd sing and dance along to High School Musical on Disney Channel? Well, don't be sad that HSM has gone into the Museum of Past Tense, because there's the even more awesome ‘GLEE’ now! For those who don't know what Glee is, please give yourself a slap. GLEE has been showing/ is still showing/ will be showing on Star World (ch. 18 on SCV) for quite some time. It’s a TV series targeted to young people, so please go watch it and save your old souls. Songs done in the show are cover versions of hits such as ‘Take a bow’- Rihanna, ‘No Air’-Jordin Sparks and ‘Keep Holding On’- Avril Lavigne, just to name a few. Everything’s quite nicely done, although vocals sound amateurish. But, I won’t complain. Sincere and cheap entertainment for the win! Two volumes for double joy! 
Nick Jonas & The Administration's Who I Am. Lizzie wanted it, not me. Alright, I admit that the album’s cover did make me want to buy it and devour it whole. Nick Jonas simply looks a lot cooler and more professional without his brothers next to him. Bringing with him a band called The Administration, Nick Jonas is out to blast out the ears and hearts of young girls. Music composed does have some standards or two, lyrics are poetic too, what’s probably letting down is the undeniable weak vocals of Jonas. There are some point into the songs where he seems almost to the point of breaking a note. Liz will probably chop my head off when she reads this, but seriously, no criticism means no improvements, yeah? Recommended tracks: ‘Who I Am’ (The mv for this song is nicely done, go watch it), ‘State of Emergency’, ‘Vesper’s Goodbye’
Leona Lewis’s Echo! I finally bought it after pondering for a million years. Powerful vocals bring you on a musical journey through several octaves that sound awfully easy to Lewis. Songs are quite distinguishably different and are all above the standards of what that makes a ‘hit’. That’ll probably mean that Leona’s music is here to stay for quite a while! Not forgetting to mention, there’s a hidden track in this album, Stone Hearts and Hand Grenades. Nice surprise!
OneRepublic’s Waking Up. Another gem which I bought only after the entire world got sick and tired of it. Actually, I’ve been very addicted to ‘All The Right Moves’ for a long long time, but nothing made me think that I should buy this album. It was only when I heard ‘All This Time’ then did I finally make the decision to buy this album. Well, no regrets! I may be slow, but at least I realised. Imagine how tragic it would be if I were to waste life away in this sad university without the comfort of good music, life would definitely be a mistake. Okay, spending a few hours away from school work and listening to music is really the best thing you can do to reward yourself for being a slave to school work.
I'm currently on a thrift programme (set by myself) to save money and buy a camera (Yes! Another one!). Until then,
HEE.
