Chinese Illiterate Speaking Here
It was a challenge for me to find some of F.I.R's songs online. F.I.R is the latest band from Taiwan, consisting of a girl and 2 guys. The girl's name is Faye, while the guys are Real (huh?) &... errr... dunno what the other guy's name is :P LOL But I guess their names make up the intials for the band. And since they sing mandarin songs, and I can't read chinese (let alone speak the language, damn shy man), it was quite tough (for me at least) to find some of their hit tunes (or any other chinese tunes for that matter) online.

Yesterday evening, while waiting for my bf to come pick me up from work, I thought I'll just try to find some of F.I.R's songs, so I googled and found many links. But unfortuntely, everything was in chinese. Yikes! All I could read was the name F.I.R :P Ok, so I attempted to just click on which ever link to try my luck. I know the word "download" in chinese is "xia-sumthing", and since I can only read the word "xia", good enough lar! So I scouted for the word "xia" to see if I can at least download some mp3s. I tried several links, but none of them were working / can't conenct to the server. Never mind, I'll look elsewhere. Until I found one chinese site that listed down the top 40 chinese hits of the week (I think), and some of F.I.R's songs were in the list and available for download. Woohoo!

As I was download the available songs, I noticed that the songs were listed by numbers: 04, 06, 08, 05. Since I use Download Accelerator for a speedier download (use Streamyx to the max mar), I can track back the URL for each download. The URL was identical, except for the numbers at the back. So common sense tells me that I can just change the numbers to download the rest of F.I.R's album, right? And since their album has 13 songs, I will have exactly the entire album. Ahhh~~~ Well, I finally got the entire album :P Took me about an hour just to find the proper links... and another hour or so to dowload them. Excuse me lar, me no read chinese mar.

Oh, a friend of mine sent me something cute. Click here to view it :) Very cute Flash animation.
