If We Ever Meet Again (Timbaland featruing Katy Perry)

This is one of my favourite songs at the moment. The title of the song is If We Ever Meet by Timbaland featuring Katy Perry. The tune is very catchy. There is this chorus:

I'll never be the same, if we ever meet again

Won't let you get away..

Glee Soundtracks

Hi Everyone,


I bought the Glee Season One Volume 1 soundtrack @ Rock Corner, The Gardens a few weeks ago.


Glee, the hit television series, currently showing @ Star World, Channel 711 Astro. It is a musical comedy series about a teacher trying to give his students a hope. It is a hope to succeed in music where no one would look down on them.


The Glee Volume 1 soundtrack contains songs that they sang during the show. It covers the Glee theme song, Don't Stop Believing and hits such as Can't Fight the Feeling, Take A Bow (Rihanna), Alone, Golddigger, Bust Your Windows, No One, Dancing With Myself, Taking Chances, Sweet Caroline (Neil Diamond), Maybe This Time and Keeping Holding On. Personally I quite like 12 songs out of 17 songs from this album. The 5 that I do not like are No Air, You Keep Me Hangin' On, Bust A Move, Defying Gravity and Hate On Me. These songs will keep me entertained or relaxed after a day @ work or just for pleasure.


When I bought the Volume 1, the Glee Soundtrack Volume 2 came out. It contains covers of Endless Love, I'll Stand By You, My Life Would Suck Without You (Kelly Clarkson), Crush, True Colours, Lean On Me and Smile. 


While I was looking around at Speedy Video yesterday at Cheras Leisure Mall, Glee Volume 2 comes with a Glee mug. These two volumes do not come cheap though. RM46.90 for each one. 










I also noticed the Glee: The Music: The Power of Madonna album and also Glee, The Music, Volume 3, Showstoppers also out on the market. However, I did not see the Volume 3, Showstoppers album @ Speedy Video.


The second part of Glee: Season 1 is now showing on Star World at 2100 (GMT +8.00). For Malaysian Astro viewers, that's Astro Channel 711. It is used to be after American Idol Season 9, but it has crowned Lee Dewyze as the American Idol 2010. Enjoy the show.

Pirate Latitudes

I bought the latest novel by Michael Crichton, Pirate Latitudes last week. This is a full manuscript novel that was discovered after he passed away 2 years ago.

Michael Crichton was the producer of the hit television series, E.R and author of many bestseller books such as Prey, Jurassic Park, Congo, The Andromeda Strain, The Great Train Robbery, Next and The Lost World. Some of these books were adapted into movies such as Jurassic Park and The Lost World.

The image displayed on the left is the U.K paperback cover. The U.S paperback mass market version is also available which I bought.

The story starts in the island of Jamaica under the ruler, Sir James Almont. Jamaica was a remote colony of the English but the area around it was under the Spanish empire. Port Royal, the first scene of the book , there are taverns, grog shops and bawdy houses. Besides these, another source of income of Port Royal is through piracy. 

Pirate Latitudes talks about how a merchant ship which also brought the governor's (Sir James)  secretary has discovered a galleon of treasure at an island under the Spanish rule by its captain. And so, Sir James Almont then appointed Captain Hunter to find and loot the galleon of treasure. This begins the adventures of Captain Hunter who embarked on a journey to the island with risks of being attacked or spotted by the Spanish guards. He recruited some people from Port Royal who sailed with him to the island. 

I have read more than half way through the book already. I have reached Chapter 27 which is also Part 4 of the book. Follow the adventures of Captain Hunter and his crew to find and loot the treasure and the dangers they faced during the trip to the island. 

This is a thrilling book to read. It does not disappoint. Once you started, you will keep on reading it. MPH is currently having 20% discount on this book until 30th June. You will paying RM27.92 instead of RM34.90 for this book now. 30% if you buy it @ MPH online but you will incur the delivery fee of RM7. Borders also offers this book at 20% off if you bought this book together with another book. It's the Borders Buy 1, Get 1 at 20% off offer.
