Well, what a quiet morning, so I decided to on my receiver, and heard Sly's song on 933. Not bad. I remembered seeing his face at SoundBuzz.com, and so off I go…
A search for “Sly” returned no results (expected). Another search for “Sylvester Sim” gave me what I wanted. Click and click. I realised that I don't have membership with SoundBuzz, and so I signed up. Smooth and easy.
I chose 2 songs after previewing them, “所以” and “第一个原因”. His voice is like, a mix of David Tao and Jay Chou, but more towards David. I have been listening to them, and well, am I listening to David or Sly? Ok, not bad!
I took a look at the file's license, and it states:
This file can be played an unlimited number of times
Collaborative play for this file is not allowed
This file can be burned 3 more times
This file can be synchronized 3 more times
The license for this file can be backed up
Does that mean that, if I send this file to others, they will not be able to listen to it unless they have the license? Hmm…
Ok, overall shopping experience. Good, fast and easy. Payment is made to WorldPay, and it's very smooth. So easy, that I feel that it's too easy! Received a transaction receipt at my registered email address within 5 minutes. There's no mail confirming my account with SoundBuzz.com yet though.
When SoundBuzz started out, I cannot find any Chinese songs in it. At least now, I can see Sly, Coco, David, JJ, in it. It's improving.. yeah. But then, I will choose to buy the album if it comes with free gifts…
And talking about gifts, it's really very frustrated when you buy a CD one day and the next day, they come up with 庆功版, with all those DVDs and MORE freebies, and the early birds don't get them! Why??! I bought 梁静茹's 燕尾蝶, and out came a version bundled with DVD MVs! I bought 五月天's 神的孩子都在跳舞, and out came their calender-bundled version. I bought 王心凌's Honey, and after 1 month, out came the MV version. Makes me wonder if it's worth it, buying the CD at an earlier time. Ok, for 梁静茹's CD, I've got a poster. For 王心凌's, I've got a handphone accessory (used to have.. haha) and a file. 五月天? Nothing. Oh well…
Never mind. I will still support original. Stop pirates ok? But then, Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is coming, but that's another story, nothing to do with CDs and such…
Hmm…. $4 charged to my card…. hmmm…..
Online shopping reminded me of that survey last Friday. Easy money. $8. Go there, click click, and get the money. A very biased survey. I don't always go online shopping for flowers. And the question used words like “parents” and “friends”. Usually, people don't buy flowers for males? Or maybe it's just me? Never mind about that. I have just spent half the money on online shopping already…
Back to revision. HA. Still have to go dental later, at 2. Think I will just go for dental and back to home. Don't think I want to study in school. Or rather, don't think I will be able to find a suitable place to study. Or even better, don't think I will want to study alone in school. It feels so sianz, sitting there alone, inevitably watching others around you, mugging together, while there you are, alone. When taking a break, you have to bring the laptop along, and assuming people do not want your bag (or the stuff inside. They should not know what's inside!)…
Will it just rain? They I can cross the bridge at NUH in the rain… Interesting…
Siao…
