Video for Never Close Our Eyes with Lyrics (FanMade)


When I first read from Adam Lambert's Twitter that Never Close Our Eyes is his second single, I was like "Really???". From the little I listened to the snippet, I wasn't exactly thrilled. Trespassing was more of my favorite as I love the beat and I love Naked Love for its killer dance music. However, when I heard the full "Never Close Our Eyes" with Adam's amazing vocals, I was a goner. Have not stopped listening to the song.

The thing that lifts the song is the amazing vocals of Adam right from the beginning. It does not start with any music, Adam's voice starts the song, which is a welcome change. As his voice is powerful and strong, it catches your attention right from the beginning. Then the killer beat starts. Awesome music. Killer beat. Great song.
 
I believe the more we listen to Never Close Our Eyes, the more we will love it. Kudos to Bruno Mars for writing this amazing song. The thing about any Bruno Mars' songs I've listened to is the words that can touch you deeply and turn you into an icky gooey puddle. Romance pours out of every pore of any Bruno Mars' song and it is the same with Never Close Our Eyes. I love the words. The beat is amazing. Most importantly, the song gives a chance for Adam Lambert's vocals to shine. So all in all, a good choice for a single. PhotobucketNow I can't wait for the live performance of this song (not the brilliant acoustic version but the full blast live performance).

I also can't wait to see what the video for the song is going to be like. If "Better Than I Know Myself" is any indication, I'm sure the video for this second single will be great too. So while waiting for the release of the video, here's a video I did for the song. Just wanted to give some visuals to accompany the amazing song.

Video for the 4 Snippets from Adam Lambert's upcoming album (Trespassing)


PhotobucketUsually the best news and tweets from Adam Lambert come when I'm dead asleep at 4am... That's the drawback of different time zones and living so many continents away from him... Sigh...

So anyway, I get to work at 9am and see the links to the 4 snippets on my Twitter account... I know I should be working and should wait till I get back home after work to listen but I was drawn to it.. Could not resist listening to the songs...
Photobucket

I hoped my company was not going to fire me but after listening to the songs, I knew losing my job would be a sacrifice I'm willing to make for Adam Lambert (Ok.. I can be all cocky because I know I'm really good at my job and my company will not let me go even if I dance naked around the room, singing "Naked Love" (more of croaking instead of singing actually). They might need therapy after looking at my naked bod and all the jiggling I'm doing but in view of my contribution to my company, I'm sure they will overlook it. My family might get me committed but I hope it would not be BEFORE Trespassing is released. NOT BEFORE!!!).. Where was I? Sorry went out of topic.. 

PhotobucketAnyway, I enjoyed listening to the 4 snippets so much that when I came home from work, I decided to do a video using clips and pictures shared by kind-hearted Glamberts over the years. I hope they do not mind.

Just wanted to give everyone a chance to have something to gaze at while listening to these awesome songs..

Hope you folks enjoy the video.. Tried my best to make it worthy of Adam Lambert..

Birthday Video for Adam Lambert


I did this video for Adam Lambert to wish him "Happy Birthday". It was slightly belated as I had overestimated my video editing capabilities and the video took longer to produce, even after staying up till 3 and 4 in the morning working on the video. You may find the video tedious and boring as I only have tantalizing clips of Adam towards the end of the video, but I wanted to explain what it is about Adam Lambert that drives me crazy.



Here are some of the pictures I used in the video.

Stuck in a Rut..


STUCK IN A RUT.. I've heard of this phrase for as long as I can remember but growing up, never really thought it would apply to me. Turned 33 on the 29th of Jan. Reflecting back on my life, I wonder if THIS IS IT... Am I going to live life not really achieving anything.. Becoming a "Have you heard what happened to her" story that people will tell their children so that the children don't end up like ME.

Mostly I'm just worried. My brother wants to further his studies but as he did not get a scholarship, we're not sure if financially we can afford it. My mom wants to take out her savings but I'm against this. What if, something happens to me and I lose my earning power. I give my mom a huge portion of my salary every month, what if something happens to me and she does not have my salary to fall back on. If she uses her savings for my brother's studies, what is she going to live on.. 

Then I'm worried about my brother.. My sister is finding it so hard to advance, even with all her skills and capabilities, because she does not have a degree. Will the same happen to my brother? Am I being a bad sister, by not ensuring he gets an education? Angry words were exchanged between us.. I said things I now regret.. But worried.. Worried.. Financial worries can really get you down, huh?? 

Then there's my mom.. A Cancer survivor, who badly needs a knee replacement surgery.. However, she's putting off the surgery as there is no one there to take care of my 90 year old grandmother. None of her other 6 siblings wants to take on the responsibility either. Leaving my mom to bear the burden of caring for my grandmother, even when my mom was undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I would never forget how she had to deal with the effects of her cancer treatment regiment while dealing with all the fusses and complaints that my grandmother makes. Can't really blame my grandmother though. She's 90. Can't exactly have her all smiles and sunny disposition. 

It's my mother's 6 siblings that anger me. Her sister who could spend 1000s going on European tours abroad but can't spare a dime for her ailing mother and who slammed the phone down on her cancer stricken sister who was asking for a little help while she undergoes radiotherapy. Not financial help. We make do with what we have. But more of help to take care of my grandmother for a few weeks at least until my mom completes her radiotherapy treatment. At the end, it was us siblings who took care of our grandmother and we did it, without complaint, for our mom. 

My mom is all the forgive and forget, the "They're family. Let's get along" type of person.

So sometimes stress really gets to me. I have no best friend to share it with. Except Mr. Blogspot here. Or is it Ms. Blogspot. Who cares. As long as Mr/Ms. Blogspot doesn't roll his/her eyes, say "I can't take listening to you anymore" and walk away. 

I don't have any talent whatsoever to better my life. I want to look for a new job.. One that pays more than my current one.. So that I can support my sibling's education and help my mother pay for a nursing home for my grandmother or at least get my grandmother a private nurse.. 

Then there are the other things.. I can handle the snide comments from elderly Indian aunties who ask my mom while looking down at me like I'm some cockroach that just slithered out of a sewage tank, "What are you doing about your daughter. She's so unattractive. How is she going to land a man? What are you feeding her. Make her lose weight". Or the comments that go something like this "You're so lucky that your daughter looks like she does because no guys want her. Look at my daughter. So beautiful. I have to fight off so many guys chasing her". Yeah. Indian aunties, who think that a woman's job is to get married and if you don't get married worse if you DON"T WANT to get married, there's something seriously wrong with you like you need to get a doctor to look at you ASAP.

It's hard explaining that you're happy as you are. That when you listen to your colleagues and friends, you're glad that you don't have any husbands irritating and controlling you and children driving you mad.. And no, I've nothing against children. All the kids I meet always give me a warm, fuzzy feeling and a lot of "awww cute" exclamations from me.. Just don't want any of my own.. Actually I don't mind having children.. Just don't want the husband that has to go along with it..

I tend to over-analyze and over-think everything. I worry that no one likes me. That folks at work just tolerate me. I worry when my YouTube videos or blogs don't get any hits. Not this blog. This is for personal ranting and venting. Sorry Mr. Blogspot (Yup. Decided to make him male). But my other blog that all my friends know about. Or supposed to know about. Darn it. Hate that I just can't connect with anyone. Do they think I'm just some weirdo freak, who gushes about Adam Lambert every chance she gets. Do they think "She's 30+, when is she going to grow up and stop being so desperate and childish". 

Worse, my Facebook friends, don't really share the same crazed interest in movies, songs and films. So whatever I write are just not something they get. Yup. I keep telling myself that to cover the lack of interest. When it could be that my writing just sucks and they're all like "she's at it again".



With zero social life and no other options on weekends, other than curling up with a good book or a good movie or film on tv, I get to work on videos for Adam Lambert. Of course, the videos suck but I love them, isn't that the most important thing?


What a sucky blog post, I've just written.

Off to bed with me now!!!!!Tweet This

Come back to Malaysia, Adam Lambert


I was feeling down so started watching Adam Lambert's videos to cheer me up. Then came across this video I made some time back. 

I did this video in October 2010, when Adam Lambert came to Malaysia and gave us a spectacular concert. I'm so glad that I managed to attend his concert even though it took a huge lump out of my savings. For Adam Lambert, it was certainly worth it.   

I cringed at this childish video I made but the comments from supportive Glamberts lightened my mood.


Fingers crossed that he comes back to Malaysia soon. Even if not for a performance, at least a visit. 

And Adam Lambert, if you need a tour guide around Malaysia, you just have to...
