OH EM GEE!!!
I can’t believe that I’m already 21!
Honestly, this year’s birthday bash(es) have been the biggest, and best in my life so far, and it’s far from over yet!

Never for long

leave a comment »

I originally wanted a more poetic and melancholic tone for this post, but the instant I started to type it, the inspiration just dissipated from my head. URGH.
What can I say, I can never stay angry with ’someone’ for long, it’s just not possible. That’s a good thing, thankfully. 2 months have passed in the blink of an eye, though it felt ever so long with so much having gone through. I must say that’s quite an amazing feat for me, that a short 2 months can bear so much.
~
I ought to be thankful. For the first time, I get to really feel what it means to be responsible, not just to myself, but to my other half too. Of course, all these is in my own interpretation and realisation of the important ingredients that fuel a relationship. Different situations that arise, be it happy or sad, anger or nonchalance, require a more delicate approach than how one would normally react around friends or acquaintances.
Even so, there’s much to learn down this path, for I have not had the chance to experience what it means to be able to be maintain flexibility, freshness, unfaltering devotion, and mutual content in the long-term. Indeed, maintaining a long-term relationship, or even a marriage, is one that takes a lot of maturity, communication, and magnanimity. I’m constantly learning…
Quarrels, disputes, disagreements naturally come part of the package, and often than not it is the bane of most, if not all, failed relationships. A lack of understanding and patience, even maturity in some cases, arises when one is unable or unwilling to communicate and share, leading to an endless flow of petty disputes that remain unaddressed, which will eventually contribute to the greater evil that initiates a split. I’m no guru of relationships, not while I’m inexperienced, but at least I want to find the determination to make sure that “greater evil” doesn’t materialise.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong and I’m really happy with the way things are. I’m merely indulging in a self-evaluation of my experiences.
——————————–
I notice an acquaintance on MSN who has only 1 kind of MSN nicks: the FUCKING EMO BEYOND HOPE kind.
I don’t want to be mean, but honestly this is the kind of emo that annoys people a lot; I don’t even need to talk to him to feel totally turned off.
An example of a nick: “U are not deserved to love anymore. *****,wake up. U are idiot,really is a idiot!!!”
Like I said, I have no intention to be nasty or nosy because I can’t be bothered, but every nick from this person so far has been along these lines. In fact, I dare say some of you might even know him…
Firstly, you keep telling yourself to wake up, so please fucking wake up the right way. Wallowing in the worsest of self-pity doesn’t gain anyone’s sympathy, neither does it help you get the person you’re interested in. I know this pretty sure myself. (let’s just say I had my fair share of despondency, though not this exaggerated or annoyingly loud)
Secondly, if you think that the uber-ridiculously-fucking-emo image is going to gain you some awwww-points and hitch you a nice person, you are way too deluded I wouldn’t even want to smack you awake. Tell me, would any person in the right of mind want to get newly attached to a depressed soul? It would mean endless baby-sitting, psychological counselling, and double the emotional work since emo-you has spent all your time being emo and is incapable of understanding and acting on the emotional needs of a relationship. In this case, seeing a shrink (or psychologist if you don’t know what’s a shrink) would be far more beneficial than getting attached.
Thirdly, as long as you remain like that, you will constantly view everything in the saddest way possible. Ever wondered why no job seems to suit you that you need to keep looking for a new job? Have you thought about why you feel so empty inside, and you always ache terribly when someone you have an interest in dates someone else or even gets attached? Did you consider the real root of your depression? Obviously not, not when you fail to realise that YOU are your problem.
If you’re not even contented with you yourself, no one else but you, a single you, there’s no way you can have the determination to get through life’s daily struggles. A relationship involves two people who are primarily mature enough to be self-sufficient and confident, secondarily able to communicate, understand, and compromise with each other with great magnanimity, thirdly able to actively provide positivity and mutuality to fuel and strengthen the relationship in the long-term. Honestly, happiness in a relationship is 2-way, not solely one party constantly feeding the deficiencies of the other. It is true that people tend to go for someone who is humble yet self-confident, because these people know their limits and capabilities and how to achieve their highest potential, and hence these people are more “fun” to be with.
At the end of the day, my point is that you need to learn to love yourself first and foremost before you even consider venturing out to the world of relationships. Relationships require much more than what you usually give yourself.
I quote from an email a friend sent me:
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT’S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It’ll NEVER just happen to you. You can’t “find” LASTING love. You have to “make” it day in and day out. That’s why we have the expression “the labor of love.” Because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage/relationship work.

Hey *****, how do you feed a relationship when you can’t even feed yourself first?

Keep your eyes on me, won’t you?

Vvvvvvermonster KILL!

leave a comment »

Just yesterday we celebrated Daniel’s birthday. I shall not go into details of what we did, instead the focus of this post is on our visit to Heaven’s Loft at Orchard Central.
Honestly, I didn’t know Orchard Central has opened, even though the official launch is in July. Some shops have already opened, they include Celio*, Nike, Tonkichi, Ben & Jerry’s INSIDE Heaven’s Loft. The first thing I felt while inside Orchard Central, was that it felt like Clarke Quay’s Central… Crammed, maze-y, confusing, narrow, a very good place for kids to play hide-and-seek.
There are open-air verandahs on different levels of the building, offering a night-view of Orchard Central’s neighbours. The unique thing about such a view is that it’s never been seen before in that area, and there’s this tinge of emo-ness and melancholy that seems perfect for a scene right out of a drama serial (as according to Dayvid,” *drama-tone* 你要的钱我会还给你的,你还要什么?”).
It still too early to tell whether Orchard Central is going to be truly boring like how Clarke Quay’s Central is, or would it house a whole a fresh new chain of boutiques. Also, it seems that there’s going to be an indoor park on the 13th storey, that had better be a saving grace too.
~
We visited Heaven’s Loft on the 8th floor (or maybe 7th).

I’m going to be very honest. I don’t like the decor there, I don’t like certain aspects of the service there, and the only saving grace is that Heaven’s Loft has a partnership with Ben & Jerry’s so ALL the desserts are from the Ben & Jerry’s stand in the cafe-restaurant itself.
Decor: The silver cushioned seats are hard and uncomfortable. The moving spaces in between tables are so narrow and crammed. The lighting is alright being low and UV-neon-ish. The ceiling design comprises uniquely angled and shaped mirror panels, with LCD screens showing the stage outside. I don’t see the point of having those LCD screens flat on the ceiling, it’s a pain for diners to look up vertically to see what’s on the screen so effectively no one would; if no one bothers to look up, those screens are going to be a waste of money and electricity.

Service: Standard politeness in speaking tone and behaviour of the staff is there. What drives me totally ANAL AND IMMENSELY ANNOYED is that THEY CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT SERVE ICE WATER, OR EVEN JUST PLAIN TAP WATER, instead they could only provide hot water, or bottled water (which means paying for water). So all of us asked for a cup of hot water since that’s the only water that’s free. What’s further amusing is that while that’s what they claim, we could clearly see the bar guy serving kids from another table with a constant flow of plain ICED WATER. GLASS AFTER GLASS AFTER GLASS AFTER GLASS AFTER GLASS AFTER GLASS. SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK!? That’s plain bias in the treatment of customers. A possible reason could have been because we only ordered from the dessert menu, which would mean from B&J’s and not from their kitchen. Even then I don’t see why they should differentiate like this since they have a partnership with B&J.
Let’s face the facts Heaven’s Loft: Firstly, obviously B&J is far more famous and is going to be the very reason why people would even step into a restaurant that is 7-8 storeys high, so if you continue to treat customers like that, people would rather visit B&J outlets the rest of town than your place. Secondly, with all your competitors throughout Orchard having signature dishes that people love, and serving free-flow of plain iced TAP water to customers, do you think you can survive being so stingy?
Heaven’s Loft? Seriously I don’t think Heaven is a place where people get angry, and get denied of plain tap water…
——————————————–
Lousy service bitchings aside, we were the first customers to order the Vermonster at B&J @ Heaven’s Loft!!! That means a complimentary camera shot by the B&J crew and our picture will be on the B&J board there. LOL it’s hilarious, that they’re first Vermonster customers are a bunch of erm… people (if you get what I mean)!

20 scoops of icecream, toppings of nut, M&Ms, chocolate rice, candy flakes, brownies, cookies, cookie dough, chocolate fudge, caramel, a whole canister of whipped cream. I know, this is TOTALLY sinful!!!

THIS is what we call HEAVEN.

Game On!

leave a comment »

Recently, JS posted a video about Project Naval. Seriously, it blew me off my seat!
Just watch and see why:

This is gaming on orgasmic levels!
——————————————
Remember the days where you slugged your life out doing endless arrows of sai kang, repeated your IPPT/SOC and field trainings over and over meaninglessly, yearned for every nights out, every off and leave and public holiday?
Wonder what all that would be like in a Final Fantasy game?
Check this out:

Credits go to NCH Animations for creating this erm… “cute” animation.
——————————————
Let’s face it, MANY of us somehow get hooked to facebook games. On first look we’d say it looks stupid/corny/dumb/childish/lame/no-life/boring, the next moment we (or most of us) get hooked on it, staring at it aimlessly daily, hourly, minute-ly, second-ly!
It all started with the immensely popular Word Challenge and Geo Challenge, and people go ballistic trying beat everyone else (they still do anyway). Who would’ve known these 2 games indirectly pitted everyone’s language power, geography general knowledge, and most importantly, their reaction and mouse clicking (or spamming) skills.
Then came the uber cute Pet Society. For once, being sociable became the IN thing. Why? Because the only way to earn money was to visit as many friends’ pets as possible daily, interact with the pets and then clean or rub those pets whatsoever, win the pets race 10 times daily, or go picking random coins in the field all just to earn that few hundred in-game cash. Guess what? That jukebox everyone wants costs 20,000 cash. So… Happy visiting!!!

The latest craze in the list, Restaurant City. Own a restaurant that expands with each level, own a few friends including yourself and give those little people jobs like cook, waiter, cleaner, or rest (reluctantly), feed those impatient and attitude customers and hope they eat faster and leave earlier and give a thumbs up, make sure all litter is clear and toilets clean, increase the menu level through frantic trading of ingredients with friends. Now that’s quite a mouthful!

I personally prefer Restaurant City as compared to Pet Society. It’s easier to earn cash, items cost cheaper (I’ve yet to see anything hitting 5 digit, YET), and somehow it’s more fun observing ugly idiots cook and wait on more ugly idiots. Honestly, watching your pet prance about like an ass is worse than boring!
The only thing about Restaurant City is the game server connection feels so flimsy. I get disconnected easily for no reason even while on full wifi-signal, whereas Pet Society never crashes on me.

Breakthrough

leave a comment »

I should have posted this yesterday by 9am but I was far too lazy and tired, so I’m doing it now.
Last Saturday, Kwee Haan, Brian, and I took part in our virgin Sundown 42.195km, in fact this distance is our first too.
I realised that it pays to be minimally conditioned before taking on feats like this, because it requires a lot of stamina and endurance (both physical and mental). Hence, it’s important that one has been running fairly regularly of at least 10-20km before taking up long-distance marathons. Of course, supplements like power gels and energy drinks come in handy too, provided you’ve trained yourself to run with that extra weight. A full-body warm-up stretching is a must before runs, the intensity at which you’re running might cause upper body crams in your arms, back, or deltoids too. Carbo-loading and hydration the day of the run is essential as it jams your body with a huge influx of carbohydrates and fluids which will be burned off intensely during long-distance marathons; this includes more rice, noodles, pasta, potato, bananas, etc.

Picture 1: Before the run. Anticipating certain doom, we’re hoping to return before daybreak.
Picture 2: After the run. Elation and relief that we’ve triumphed! Hey the sky’s still dark! :D
During the run itself, maintaining an effective pacing and momentum is necessary to optimise one’s stamina. In the case of impending muscle cramps, there is a need to stop immediately to stretch that muscle group; it helps far better than allowing the muscle to fully cramp-up and limping the rest of the run. Many runners love to have their mp3 players plugged on, I’m no exception; it really helps to have your favourite upbeat songs (in my case it’s club remixes) taking your mind off the pain and inducing a stable running pace. At about 18km into the run during the East Coast stretch reaching the Siglap Park connector, the remix for Brandy’s ‘Long Distance’ started playing which was rather hilarious (imagine: With you is where I’d rather be, but we’re stuck where we are. It’s so hard, you’re so far. This long distance is killin’ me.) LOL!!!
Based on the visual timeboard, I came in at 5hrs 30min, far better than my expected timing of 6hrs even though I wasn’t feeling too well and kept coughing all through the run. I ought to thank the guy who rubbed my back towards the last 2-3km of the run when I coughed a bit too badly; throughout the race I saw runners who stopped to help the guy/lady cramping by the sides. Somehow it’s these little acts of paying it forward that give people an unforseen warmth and motivation to push on (I zoomed off after giving him a word of thanks LOL)!

It’s 6.30am in the morning, and we’ve just pwned 42.195km through the run!
Now that I’ve broken through the 42km mark, I feel a new found motivation to continue running as a hobby and participate in more events in the future!

AHM’s next. Nike Human Race, Run for Hope, New Balance Real Run, and Stanchart anyone?

PWNED

with one comment

Another recap post.
———————————
PWNAGE 1
Last saturday (23rd May 2009), 15 of us went for Distant Worlds ~ Music from Final Fantasy!!!
I remember when ticket sales first opened to arts fest members, the tickets for both shows were sold out within the opening day, and when SAF anounced a 3rd show and opened ticket sales, the tickets were sold within a day and a half too. The lucky 15 of us managed to get tickets for the 3rd show. I’m gonna be a bitch, so to those who didn’t catch it, OH WELL maybe next time? :P

Setlist
1) Final Fantasy VIII – Liberi Fatali
2) Final Fantasy X – To Zanarkand
3) Final Fantasy VIII – Don’t be Afraid
4) Final Fantasy VII – Aerith’s Theme
5) Final Fantasy I-III – Medley 2002
6) Final Fantasy V – Dear Friends
7) Final Fantasy IX – Vamo’ alla Flamenco
8) Final Fantasy series – Main Theme
- Intermission -
9) Final Fantasy VII – Opening Bombing Mission
10) Final Fantasy VIII – Fisherman’s Horizon
11) Final Fantasy XI – Memoro de la Stono – Distant Worlds
12) Final Fantasy IV – Theme of Love
13) Final Fantasy series – Swing de Chocobo
14) Final Fantasy VIII – Love Grows
15) Final Fantasy VI – Opera “Maria and Draco”
Encore
16) Final Fantasy VI – Terra’s Theme
17) Final Fantasy VII – One-Winged Angel

Obviously, those 3 pieces in bold are by far the most celebrated ones that would make almost anyone go wet! The local arts fest orchestra was the playing orchestra for the Singapore length of the Distant Worlds tour. Many would say that the performance standards were fairly decent, but even then I felt that this performance was practically my, as a fan’s, first orgasm since this is my first time at a Final Fantasy concert!
Do you know what it’s like to be left PWNED and wet on your seat? You need more.
———————————
PWNAGE 2
The same day as the Distant Worlds concert, Heng Hiang and I went to collect our Sundown race packs.

To be honest, I have been slacking off, a lot. I’m PWNED…
This leaves a few alternatives:
1) I’d be walking right from the start, and might even offer my services to help the rear runner right at the back carry the signage at the back.
2) I can attempt to run it all, and drop dead (not literally) halfway through, and end up not getting the finishers medal.
3) I can jog so slowly I’d still be halfway through after sunrise. (Note: the 42.195km component starts at 2359)
4) I’d freak out, and FALL SICK before the run.
5) Be a bitchy cheater, and hail a cab after jogging for 5km, and alight just 3km from the finish point.
This looks bleak.
———————————
Since this post is all about getting PWNED, I thought it appropriate to post this video by Ryan Higa, about the definition of ‘PWNED’.
Enjoy~

Bintan 05-09

leave a comment »

Yours truly visited the sunny island of Bintan in Indonesia recently from 20th-22nd May.

Picture 1: As most of you would know, Indonesia is the land of the Garuda (or Eagle).
Picture 2: Bintan Ferry Terminal.

Picture 3: Bintan Lagoon Resort reception.
Picture 4: Deluxe Sea View Facing Room. The newly renovated decor (no picture) is even nicer than this.

Picture 5: Can you believe it, this cost SG$3.00 from the resort’s minimart.
Picture 6: View of the resort from the front field.

Picture 7: Open-concept massage pavillion facing the beach on one side, and the resort on the other.
Picture 8: Looks familiar?

Picture 9: The resort’s very own beach.
Picture 10: Trust me, the sand’s so fine and soft I could lie in it! This is what I call the true Island Life. Learn from it Sentosa!
———————————-
We went out of the resort a few times, even out of the Bintan Resorts area once.

Picture 11: Pasar Oleh Oleh… THE tourist trap.
Picture 12: Boring as hell, you can finish walking in 15min. The only thing useful about this place is the minimart where you can stock up on your snacks instead of paying exorbitant prices at the resort minimarts.

Picture 13: I saw this on sale at most of the souvenir shops… There were ashtrays, and even keychains of it.. Quite disturbing I must say.
Picture 14: Bintan Resorts’ Mangrove Tour. We didn’t go though.

Picture 15: A small local beach kampong outside of the Bintan Resorts grounds.
Picture 16: The local town west of Bintan, 20min drive out of the Bintan Resorts area.

Picture 17: A new kelong resort out of the Bintan Resorts area, yet to open its doors to the public.
Picture 18: The local beach, very different from what you see at the resorts.
———————————-
My impression of Bintan is that it’s best to go there simply only for a resort beach holiday. The local grounds resemble whatever you see in malaysia, and the biggest town of Tanjung Pinang is too expensive (SG$88 with a total travelling time of 3+hrs to and from) to travel from the Bintan Resorts area. The pricing for rooms may see decent and quite affordable, but everything else costs mony money money. You can easily be spending more on the food and activites above everything else.

Picture 19: The ferry home. We could see our ‘Big Wheel’.
Picture 20: Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal.
———————————-
The next time I go Bintan, I’m sticking to having it as a resort holiday~

We’re not stupid

with 2 comments

Hey Josie and the Valiant (NOT) Pussies, YOU LOSE!
As we all know, the results of AWARE’s EGM is out, with a vote of no confidence passed against the new exco with 1414 to 761 votes.
Initially when this whole issue came under media obsession, one would think that the issue involved mainly homosexual acceptance vs religious conservatives. However, as the conflict carried on between the new exco and the old guard, with tensions rising to the level of boiling outburst, one can see that this whole issue has nonetheless blown out of proportion involving religious activism vs secular organisations, with the touch of sensational media spotlight.
Honestly, on one hand I fail to understand why so big a fuss has been made out of it, on the other, along with most other Singaporeans who aren’t really bothered about it, this whole AWARE saga is quite the socio-political drama we need to spice things up a bit. In fact, I do enjoy watching the catfight that is going on, even though I do have my stand on it: secularisation should NEVER involve reigious influence!

My pre-EGM view: If a secular organisation like AWARE falls into the hands of religious activists under the guise of “valiant warriors fighting for a greater good”, these people will DEFINITELY reshape the goals of the organisation to suit THEIR religious beliefs. What’s the point of an organisation being secular, if it operates on the hands of a ruling religion that imposes its ideals on the non-religious or believers of other faiths? These so called ‘warriors’ are threading a very fine line here. Push too much and step on the religious beliefs of other faiths, and that’s as good as shaking the religious balance and peace Singapore has achieved post-riot. The government should step in, disband AWARE, let the old guards regroup under a new secular NGO to continue the good work they’ve been dong so far. As for these “valiant warriors”, they can regroup for all they want as a religious NGO without tainting the definition of “secular”, have their supporting church members join up, and voice out their bullshit via the proper channels. It’s easier to deal with an NGO that’s not doing anything substantial for the economy or society and making too much noise than it should, than dealing with a secular NGO that has been split into 2 camps with one involving religious activism that has gone beyond the lines. Seriously, the new exco can use their church links to recruit all the numbers they want, even win the EGM come May, but they are never going to truly win anything if they continue to step on everyone else’s toes trying to win a petty fight.

To quote the email that was sent to parents regarding the issue: “ALL IT TAKES FOR EVIL TO TRIUMPH IS FOR GOOD PEOPLE TO DO NOTHING” – This is quite the irony. Precisely the majority of Singaporeans couldn’t really be bothered and are doing nothing except to enjoy the drama, that allows these attention-seekers to triumph in their drama and nothing else. This drama is getting boring, next season please?
To quote Derek Hong: “It’s not a crusade against the people but there’s a line that God has drawn for us, and we don’t want our nation crossing that line.” – Seriously Mr. Hong, if Singapore is YOUR God’s nation, I’m leaving for good. Why threaten to overturn the religious harmony and co-existence we’ve been enjoying for 40 odd years by imposing your beliefs on non-believers with sweeping statements like this?

Well it’s good that the old guards won and now have the support of the MAJORITY people, so it is expected that they ought to carry on the good work they’ve been doing, and REMAIN SECULAR.

Hot Men

with 2 comments

Imagine this: you work at Sakae Sushi. One afternoon, a customer signals you to take his/her order, and the request turned out to be, “can we have the soft-shell crab temaki, sashimi, unagi chawanmushi, and Hot Men?”
I was out with chocobo today, and we happened to have the tea buffet over at Wheelock’s Sakae Sushi outlet. Of course this being a buffet, it involved an intense jamming of food down my throat, to cover the cost of the buffet (I shall not go into the specifics as to how many plates we ate though…). We asked for the bill, and as I checked the order list I found something very amusing:

I’m just wondering, what if customers do get what they want (literally) by ordering that o.o!
~
Chocobo tried to use the birthday voucher for the tea buffet, and apparently the voucher is not applicable to buffet meals. This I totally don’t understand! If I get a complimentary voucher for my birthday for being a member, yet I cannot use it on buffets; what if I happen to be celebrating it with friends by having a BUFFET? From what I see, if such an issue arises, it’s going to deal damage to their customer relations, leaving customers displeased. Shouldn’t they earn more if the discount voucher is used to pay for a cheap buffet, rather than a huge à la carte spread?
We decided to fill in a comments-form, with yours truly helming the written comment/suggestion. I can’t remember what I wrote exactly, but it goes something along the lines of: “I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY BIRTHDAY VOUCHER CANNOT BE USED ON A TEA BUFFET MEAL, SINCE IT IS A BELATED CELEBRATION. IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE, AND I AM EXTREMELY DISSATISFIED.” (Yes I wrote it in CAPS)
I know we’re being really bitchy, but it is still within our role as a customer to question. If it really were a birthday celebration, an issue like this would be one hell of a mood-damper. Why be nice anyway? Aren’t they supposed to be marketing and building effective customer relations?
—————————————-
After last thursday’s Biz Comp paper, and last sat’s Accounting paper, I am currently halfway through my exams, leaving 2 more papers. Biz Comp catalysed the “resign-to-fate syndrome” in all of us, and accounting literally took us into the disease, wholesale. What a bitch of a paper! This is the first time I’ve come across a question that required me to form up a cash budget, through value-comparison and observation of transactions from a balance sheet and income statement; this means I’m practically coming up with the cash flow statement, only difference being that I do not produce a statement, but use the values to determine the cash budget. I shall let heaven decide my fate…
As such, I can almost surely say that I’m currently in GAGA mode. No this has nothing to do with Lady GaGa (although she rocks). I’m just cranky I guess, so cranky that a gummy bear song actually cracks me up like a mental patient.

I’m a jelly bear, cause I’m a gummy bear~ *repeat chant*
—————————————-
Ever since I fell sick weeks ago, my running regime crumbled into dust, and i would do at most 1 run a week that spreads no more than 10km.
A miracle happened just from 9.30-11.30pm. I managed to complete my 20+km in the usual 2hrs cap! Hopefully things start off from here so I can be ready for Sundown 42.
I shall attribute my regained standard to the music I blast while running. Seriously, remixes ROCK! Your momentum chants along to the beat of the mix, your mind drifts off in a sing-a-long to your favourite hits, and before you know it you pass km after km like a stroll in the park.
Some of the remixes I’m currently digging big time:
1) Come Back To Me (Tony Moran & Warren Wiggs Remix)
2) Jai Ho! (Big Kids Lah! Mardi Gras Tribal Slumpdog Reconstruction)
3) Long Distance (Jody Den Broeder Club Mix)
4) Love Etc (Pet Shop Boys Mix)
5) Love Story (Digital Dog Remix)
6) My Life Would Suck Without You (DJ VNO Rework Remix)
7) Poker Face (Jody Den Broeder Remix)
8) Takin Back My Love (Moto Blanco Club Remix)
9) Tattoo (Jason Nevins Mix)
10) I Hate This Part (Digital Dog Radio Edit)
The list just goes on so I’ll just give 10. In fact I have more than one remix of some of the songs playing back-to-back like Utada’s ‘Come Back to Me’, Kelly Clarkson’s ‘My Life Would Such Without You’ and Enrique Iglesias’ ‘Takin Back My Love’.
