Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris performed a duet of “Hallelujah” with Charlie Sexton on guitar in a live performance broadcast worldwide during the “Hope for Haiti Now” charity telethon on January 22, 2010. Written by singer/songwriter Leonard Cohen and released on his 1984 studio album Various Positions, the song reportedly took a year to write and includes 80 available verses and at least two wholly original renditions.

I hope you guys enjoy this rendition.. Happy Music Monday, everyone.

The Wheeler Dealer Fan

As I've written recently on my personal blog, I am not a car person. I don't drive and I don't know anything much to do with cars. My husband on the other hand is a car enthusiast. He loves cars and he is absolutely in love with vintage cars as well. Back in HIS hometown, he keeps an old Fiat 132-2000 which is stripped down to the frame. He still has the Lancia engine and the original "cromodora" rims in hopes of restoring it back to it's glory one fine day. doa

Fiat 132-2000

So it's no wonder that one of his favorite shows these days (that he makes me watch with him - and that I enjoy) is Wheeler Dealers on the Discovery Turbo channel. Basically what host Mike Brewer and his handy mechanic, the giant Edd China, does is, they buy old cars and restore it back to it's prime, before selling it back to make some profit. It's pretty much a UK Pimp My Ride but minus the LCD TV screen and the bling. encem


Wheeler Dealer team - Mike Brewer (R) and Edd China (L)

Watching the series makes my husband even more car crazy than ever, though. Last month, he watched a Wheeler Dealers re-run episode that showed the WD team restoring a Jeep CJ-7. Host Mike Brewers has said that it's super rare to find a decent CJ-7. But they DID manage to find a really out of use, rusty CJ-7 and managed to restore it into a beauty.

Here in Malaysia, it's really rare as well. Even if you are lucky and manage to get your hands on a vintage jeep here, I doubt that jeep accessories are easy to find.

Even with that in mind, I know that the hubs is not giving up his dream on his Fiat or a Jeep anytime soon. He did mention that even if he can't find a Jeep CJ-7, he doesn't mind settling for an off road Land Rover. Where did he get that idea?


Well, from this evening's episode of Wheeler Dealer of course. adus

I Need New Headphones!

The place where I'm staying is undergoing major construction. (Luckily they're not using asbestos or we'll have a Mesothelioma Cancer lawsuit "Erin Brokovich" style over here!) Anyways, it's a fairly new building and most people are refurbishing/reconstructing their units. I'm glad it's Sunday tomorrow so that I won't be awaken so early with the sounds of drills and hammers and what nots.

If I had extra "kaching" right now, I'll get myself the highest degree of noise cancelling/noise reduction headphones to drown out all other noises!! Something like Bose's QuietComfort® 3 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones.

The features are:
  • High-performing noise reduction headphones for travel, work and home
  • Enjoy your music and movies even more, with clear and lifelike sound
  • Comfortable and lightweight on-ear fit
  • Rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charger included
  • Fold-flat earcups for easy storage in slim carrying case
  • Powered by just one rechargeable battery, you can enjoy noise-reducing music up to 25 straight hours (per charge).
It does come at a hefty price of GBP275, though.. *sigh* Guess like yours truly just has to deal with the construction noises after all.. 

    My Work Vision!

    As you may know by now.. I spend a lot of my time working online. Between maintaining 4 blogs and keeping my kids happy, I really need some good office furniture to get my work done because I'm getting aches and pains just from my chair now. I'm currently just using my dining room chair to work on and it's as stiff as a.. well, I don't need to complete that sentence.


    Honestly, I don't want just another chair. I want the Vision One Computer Station. Then I'll get it upgraded to a Porsche leather bucket seat like the picture above. Ooohhh.. this would be my work heaven. The Flagship model shown starts at $2600 and includes support for three flat-screen displays, provides superb elbow support, an adjustable foot rest, surround sound speaker brackets, and not to mention a bad-ass look!
