every day i wake up, and i try, and i strive, to be this
SUPER HAPPY GIRL
you'll never know me
but you may know my name

carrie yeo.
Is a walking contradiction.

Happy-go-lucky yet emotional.
Over-confident yet suffers from inferiority complex.
Love to sing yet afraid of the stage.
Always hopeful about the future but always living in the present.
Adventurous in bigger life experiences like joining Project Superstar but very cowardly in trivial thrills like monkey bars.

Always fighting with herself in the mind like there are 5 Carrie's in there.

Blogging is a way to straighten out thoughts for her.
Blogging is a way for her to leave clues for herself,
so that in ten years time,
Carrie might start to understand herself better....

driving frees my mind
and so i tweet.


over coffee, we agree...
to disagree.


but there's always help
when you are looking.

五月天、感動。 (Saturday, August 29, 2009 / 2:30 PM)

五月天。是rocks的。

Sigh.... 數一數。。。應該有4次掉淚。數一數吧。。。

1)《倔強》

我和我最后的倔强 握紧双手绝对不放 下一站是不是天堂 就算失望不能绝望 我和我骄傲的倔强 我在风中大声地唱 这一次为自己疯狂 就这一次 我和我的倔强



2)《笑忘歌》

唱一首属于我们的歌 让我们的伤都慢慢慢的愈合 明天我又会是全新的 青春是手牵手坐上了 都不回头的火车 总有一天我们都老了 不会遗憾就OK了 伤心的都忘记了 只记得这首笑忘歌 那一年天空很高风很清澈 从头到脚趾都快乐 我和你都约好了 要再唱这首笑忘歌 这一生只愿只要平凡快乐 谁说这样不伟大呢

看著五月天,五個大男孩在台上手牽手。他們的友情真的讓我很感動。想起我那班老友。這麼多年了,卻感覺生疏了。是我想太多嗎?




3)《約翰藍儂》

能不能暂时把你的勇气给我 在梦想快消失的时候 让我的歌用力的穿过天空 为我爱的人做一秒英雄 能不能暂时把你的梦想给我 在勇气快消失的时候 总有一天要人们叫我披头 最后没成功也作过最美的梦

有。勇氣有就快消失了。
有。夢想有點模糊了。
有。五月天有再一次的把他們的勇氣、夢想借給我。

最喜歡最後一句,最后没成功也作过最美的梦 。好,不怕了!又要往前沖了!!!!



4)《我心中尚未崩坏的地方》

期待着彩虹 所以开了窗 窗外只有灼热闪光 所谓的彩虹 不过就是光 只要心还透明 就能折射希望 每个孤单天亮 我都一个人唱 默默的让着旋律 和我心交响 就算会有一天 没人与我合唱 至少在我的心中 还有个尚未崩坏的地方 其实我们都一模一样 无名却充满了莫名渴望 一生等一次发光 宁愿重伤也不愿悲伤 让伤痕变成了我的徽章 刺在我心脏 永远不忘 再唱再唱再唱再唱再唱

最後的“再唱”,阿信用高音,刺近我的心臟。



5)《垃圾车》

虽然你脾气坏 对待朋友又差 凸槌又更爱牵拖 佳在你遇到我 不爱计较的我 算你坏人有好命 有你 我才未孤单 有你的陪伴 我才有靠山 你若欢喜 我是你的垃圾车 每天 听你唱歌

29日的演唱會,坐在我左邊的是,陳迪雅小姐。err.... 牽著她的手,讓我覺得歌裡面的“朋友”,就是我吧???因為,err....我脾氣壞!!!!哈哈哈!而陳迪雅就是那位“不愛計較的我”。哎,真是算我好命,怎會遇到一位可以和我共患難,共享樂的朋友。又可以互相欺負、可以一起無聊、一起做夢、一起長大、一起幼稚、一起笑、一起哭。真的是Thank God!

今天開始,她是垃圾车。我是垃圾桶。哈哈哈!



6)《溫柔(還你自由版)》+ 《天天想你》

不知不觉 不情不愿
又到巷子口
我没有哭 也没有笑
因为这是梦
没有预兆 没有理由
你真的有说过
如果有 就让你自由
自由
这是我的温柔


28日那場,阿信沒有做那個旁白的橋端,而是唱了一段《天天想你》。

当我伫立在窗前
你越走越远
我的每一次心跳
你是否听见

当我徘徊在深夜
你在我心田
你的每一句誓言
回荡在耳边

隐隐约约闪动的双眼
藏着你的羞怯
加深我的思念
两颗心的交界
你一定会看见
只要你愿意走向前


然後,link去最無奈的“我給你自由”,build up to 最激動、最痛心的“我給你全部全部全部自由”。哇!安排地、太妙、太棒了。



OH! 是6首。五月天,是rocks的。

Singing cannot be competed (Monday, August 24, 2009 / 12:01 AM)

Aiyah, i really really really think 唱歌是不能比的!!!!!

I'm not sure if competing makes the music better leh. sigh... but then it's the competition that makes entertainment.

it's a conflicted world.

I read 李杰宇's blog. And I thought he was really really sweet. He was the one whom Diya lost to.

"這場跟迪雅PK
其實當她在唱的時候
我在後面其實有一點被他嚇到
因為迪雅非常的從容自在
好像把星光舞台當作是自己家一樣的輕鬆
就像小玲老師說的一樣 迪雅的音樂性真的很強
還有她自己很優異的節奏感 真的是一個很厲害的選手
這次能贏他 自己真的覺得是幸運

下台之後有和迪雅小聊一下
他講的一句話我覺得很棒
迪雅說 他覺得沒有所謂的誰輸誰贏
因為每個人的音樂都是獨特且唯一 是不能拿來比較的
當下我真的覺得迪雅不僅是在唱歌上很厲害
連內在都很有深度
之後他給了我她PK的牌子
要我好好加油
我也一直把他放在我的包包裡

希望我也可以像迪雅一樣如此的輕鬆大度
面對接下來的積分賽:)"

I really thought it was very very hard to compare the two performances. So I was a little what-the-hell when diya lost to him. I thought they probably should be 平手.

Anyway, I was really glad that Diya still managed to show Taiwan what she's really good at! Well, not everyone 可以看得出 Diya's strength. But I was very very very 欣慰 that at least 李杰宇看出來了。It's not easy for one to see the strength of your competitor. Most of the time, people just look for the flaws in their competitor. 佩服!這個人的度量是大的!也證明他是熱愛音樂的。

可惜的是,反而是評審沒有和李杰宇一樣的看法啦。

所以,迪雅啊~ please don't be disheartened! You did well. REALLY!!! *slap into your mind* 更何況,機會還有的。不要緊盯著這一次的機會。我們还會有別的機會展現我們的實力的!!But next time, we will be even more prepared! And we will be more focused! And we will 更把握我們的機會!

omy.sg (Thursday, August 13, 2009 / 9:20 AM)

I started blogging on Omy.sg haha.

http://blog.omy.sg/carrieyeo/

Err, they asked me if I wanted to blog on omy. And I thought "err... why not?" I din really think about "oops, what's gonna happen to blogspot?" haha.

I guess I like that I can be 文绉绉 there. HAHA! So, in the future, for “大道理” I will likely post it there. And everything else here. But don't worry, I will continue to post here. When I blogged there, I will still "highlight" it here so that you can go read over there.

Confusing?

Aiyo, we'll see what happens bah~ 随心所欲嘛~

Go read it now!!! cos I have 2 new posts and one copied from here. haha.

Life is a Race... (Wednesday, August 5, 2009 / 3:53 AM)



Sigh... gloomy weather, gloomy 心情。好不容易想来“清境”清静一下。你看,应该是这样的风景。。。



可是现在又起雾又下雨。一切都变得蒙胧。
sigh....



By now, most of you might have heard... Diya is out of the PK competition. But actually hor, she already did very well. She got through the 1st round. Then she sang a 2nd song. And she lost to her PK rival by only 1 point. And it's a little unfair leh. They "ding ding ding" the score for diya 1st. Then that guy... 李杰宇's score hor, it stopped at the same score then suddenly "ding" one more point from 小胖老师, who in my opinion, did not give very fair comments.

Erm... I really dun agree with what he says about diya. He commented that Diya's voice has no 辩识度!!! (HELLO???!?!?!!) Then at the backstage, he asked Diya "who do you think you sound like?", and said he can't think of anyone who sounds like Diya. And then he went on to advise Diya to look for a reference. I don't understand why la. Isn't it great that Diya sounds unique? Sigh.. Aiyah I dun understand what the judges are thinking la. And I think it's all about the programme also la. I believe that there were a lot of factors considered, that has nothing to do with singing.

Anyway, I secretly took a picture of Diya on the famous 星光 stage! hahaha... sshhh.. dun tell people.



To my dear friend, a lot of people will give you 马后炮 comments and feedbacks. There's no way to block them one. People just like to think they know better. But the fact is... they might not. Listen to what you think is useful and filter away those that are hurting and not helpful. Like 选错歌 that kind is totally useless. If you had done that song well, then no one would have told you that you 选错歌.

But please don't be affected by this small setback. In fact, most people think that it's a setback but I don't. I think that you have done a great job, even 小玲老师 (click here for her interview) said that “对我来说她还是有实力的。这是一个比赛,输了并不代表你不行。”



Life is a super long race.

Sometimes, we are leading the race.
Sometimes, we get tired and we lag behind a little.
Sometimes, we fall. But we have to pick ourselves up.
Sometimes, we have to take a break to run the next mile.

And no one can ever predict who's gonna finish the race 1st. In fact, there's no need to judge who's doing better than who. Because the race should be a competition with yourself and most importantly, I just wish to enjoy this race.

我们应该追求的是幸福,而不是名誉金钱。

It might sound very idealistic. I'm not saying I'm above money and fame. I just mean don't focus on money, fame, achievement, reputation, etc. Let's focus on happiness 吧.

输也要输得开心。穷也要穷得开心。
