Hady Mirza's "You Give Me Wings" Music Video

This is so exciting, the first high definition music video that I was involved in for filming and color-grading is finally on TV!!!

Too bad it's not shown in its original high definition quality. That would have been so much more beautiful...

Please note that we didn't do the editing of the video nor the conceptualization parts. We only shoot the video tomake sure the visuals were beautiful and filmic, and color graded the edited video to make the visuals look more stunning...

BUT the studio shots were our suggestions... The original concept did not include the mesmerizing studio shots of our Singapore Idol 2006... Don't be mistaken, I still think Jonathan should have been our Singapore Idol 2006, but I do think Hady looks close to mesmerizing to me in the studio shots...

Inspired by:
Il Divo & Toni Braxton's "The Time of Our Lives" music video for World Cup 2006.



And Patrizio Buanne's "Il Mondo" Music Video



Now that you are inspired...

Some promo and publicity tidbit videos before the actual thing...

Now... The actual thing!!!

So what's your verdict?

Jonathan, when is YOUR album and music video coming out???!!!

Our Singapore Idol 2005's New MV

Here's the new MV from Singapore Idol 2005 - Taufik Batisah...

"All Because Of You" 2006



Comparing to last year's MV... It looks like a remake, like what 8 Days said, it looks like a National Day Video.... with all e family, elderly, kids, couples elements... Very patriotic indeed... And throughout the entire video Taufik is seated behind the piano, which he can't play, and he hardly seems to be pretending to play it. And isn't this song not very piano-oriented, so up-tempo, the piano is like just one of the instruments backing up the keyboards and guitars...

I dunno who did this video... cos it's not the official one from Mediacorp, that we all saw on TV...

"I Dream" 2005



Now I am SOOO looking forward to see Hady Mirza's "You Give Me Wings" MV up on TV... I think it looks much better than Taufik's... Aside from the fact that both are done with probably the same small budget, I think the difference in sets made a huge difference. But honestly, I think Hady could do with more practice in his moves, cos he does look a bit stiff in "You Give Me Wings" compared to Taufik in his "I Dream" MV...

Song Dedication for Alwaysane

Ms Alwaysane,

you can click on this link to go listen to the mv, or alternatively, look for it in my blog entry "TVXQ Korean MVs"...


Miduhyo (Believe) - TVXQ

[Micky] Girl, Let me prove that my love is real
I'll give all my love to you, Please Trust me
[Xiah] I believe...I believe that one can fall in love at first sight, though I told you that it wasn't possible.
I only hid this thought from you because I was afraid that you would look at me as if I was careless and hasty.
[Max] To tell the truth, ever since I met you I only lived with thoughts of you.
There was only one thing on my mind from when I woke up in the morning to when I went to bed at night.

*[All] I believe in you...I will send all my feelings for you through the the way I look at you.
Do you know how my heart feels, how I want to keep the feelings I have for you hidden?
Even the fearful feelings for when you might leave me one day.

[Hero] You...

[Micky] Love is a nervous feeling that flutters your heart...
it is like a breathtaking lonliness...
[U-Know] Please keep looking at me with the same eyes...always and forever like this.
[Xiah] If only you could stay close enough to me so that my heart can relax...
just so that I could see you...I would be very happy.

*Repeat

[Xiah] You...

[Hero] If I could stay by your side like this...
If, in the end, it is that I don't know anything about how much I love you.

*Repeat

[Micky] I can't let you go You are the only one in my life

---------------------------------------------------------------

Tonight - TVXQ

Take my hand, hold me tight, and take a rest in my heart so that you might feel the heat simmering in.

I can't take it. Your small shaking makes me want to put you on and never take you off.

Stolen my soul Stolen my heart, I'm filled with you so much that I can't breathe.
Like a small child caught in the rain.
Like the love sprinkled on the earth.. like tonight..

Your embrace is warm like the early morning sunlight.
Now I know why those people are saying "love is blind"
I believe my heart belongs to you.
I love you more than I do..

Like a fireball you're spreading a fire in my heart.
I love you
When I saw you, when I touch you, when I feel you
When I fall in love.
You've got an endless passion.

Stolen my soul, Stolen my heart, I'm filled with you so much that I can't breathe.
Like a small child caught in the rain.
Like the love sprinkled on the earth.. like tonight..

I can feel you living and breathing inside of me to the fullest.
I don't have the courage to face these deep feelings.
The love that you've given me is slowly swallowing me.
I know, our love's a miracle...
You ease the pain in me and slowly the pain becomes my delight..
My love can be.

Stolen my soul, Stolen my heart, I'm filled with you so much that I can't breathe.
Like a small child caught in the rain.
Like the love sprinkled on the ground.. like tonight..
Your embrace is warm like the early morning sunlight.

Stolen my soul Stolen my heart, You're filled in me so much.
I can't breathe. Like a small child caught in the rain.
Like the love sprinkled on the ground.. like tonight..

Whatever They Say - TVXQ

(Micky) Girl, don't listen to what they say, They can't stand to see Together. Come onListen(Hero) Baby girl, You're my good fortune, the one girl who's just like me
(Xiah) But all those around us are waiting for us to separate
Oh if that is our destiny, stop believing in fate

*(All) Whatever they say, don't listen girl
They're only jealous of us
My only wish is for you to believe what I say
Whatever they say, I don't care I love you

(Hero) It's hard trying not to lose you
(Uknow) Baby I don't know what to say, just that my feeling for you will never change
(Micky) People always want to compromise with the world
(Hero) If that means I'll lose you, I want to challenge the world

**(All) Whatever they say, don't listen girl
They're only jealous of us
We're all different and they just don't understand us
Whatever they say, I don't care I love you

(Xiah) It's hard trying not to lose you
(Max) Many times I've wanted to let you go for your sake
Your love and trust give me great strength

*(All) Whatever they say, don't listen girl
They're only jealous of us
My only wish is for you to believe what I say
Whatever they say, I don't care I love you
(
Xiah) I can't lose you
Oh no Don't leave

**(All) Whatever they say, don't listen girl
They're only jealous of us
We're all different and they just don't understand us
Whatever they say, I don't care I love you

(Xiah) I can't lose you

(Micky) Baby girl, You're my fortune Oh~

For my dear hammie Otto Dao...

Something very sad happened yesterday evening...

After a long day of filming, I came back home...

And my mum rushed to me to inform me...










Mum: "I think your hamster is dead... You better check on it..."
Me: "HUH??!!! WHAT!!!"

I immediately stares hard into the cage...
Only to see Otto Dao lying with eyes closed at its sleeping area...
I lifted up the cage and took a close look...
It didn't move a bit like it used to when I lifted the cage...
I gave the cage a shake...
Still no movement...
And it's body looked soft... And fragile...
I felt a pang of pain and pity for the poor thing...

Mum: "It was still energetic when I came home around 5... But then suddenly it just stopped moving... It looks terrible when it dies..."

AGAIN... I felt a pang of pain for my poor hammie...






I will definitely miss the times we shared together....

The way you liked to climb up and down the sides of the cage hoping there was food, whenever I walked near...

The way you felt when I held you in my hand, soft, warm, fuzzy and cute...

The way you used my fingers as ladders to climb up and down...

The way you swimmed around in the tub...

The way you looked when I dried you after swimming...















WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

My Hammie Otto passed away....

Now I'm only left with Itti Ming...

After I've taken care of Otto Dao's remains, I went to check on Itti Ming... making sure that it was moving and energetic...

But I still dunno why it hasn't been really drinking the water...

Is it because I've changed to feeding it vegetables and fruits which have high water content, that it doesn't need that much water???

I am in depression now...

I need consolation...

I need a hug from 金在中 and/or 金俊秀 now...


* Note: Here's a video with Jaejoongie in his Hamtaro PJs... Reminds me of my Otto Dao... *sob sob sob*...

邱泽 and Joshua Chasez where are you guys???!!!


no cheerios for now,
