Song Can't Get You Out of My Head by Lee Glasson

I have listen to this last year. I do think it is my favourite so far for Kylie Minogue cover. It does sound totally different from the original song😍. Less sexy, more manly and have a slight Gothic touch I think😌.
Lyrics [1]:
[Intro]
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse]
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about

[Chorus]
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse]
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every night, every day
Just to be there in your arms
Won't you stay? Won't you lay?
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

[Chorus]
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Verse]
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, your lovin' is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a dark secret in me
Don't leave me locked in your heart
Set me free, feel the need in me
Set me free
Stay forever and ever and ever and ever

[Chorus]
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la
La la la
La la la la la

[Outro]
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't get you out of my head

Can listen starting minutes 2:19 till 4:04.
He is one of The Voice UK contestant in 2014, Episode 1 (11 January) of Blind Auditions [2].

Here is the original from Kylie Minogue:
Despite the video clip that not up to my preferences, I am able to remember the lyrics for this song. As it is my roommate favourite song during my matriculation time in year 2001 [1].

Till then, do enjoy the song😉.

Detailed on my apam nasi process and outcome

One veteran friend said he is unable to understand my previous entry on me making apam nasi [1]. You need to understand that the entry I do using my spare phone after the blue death screen of my Samsung J7 Prime near end of March 2018 [2]. Which makes my on-the-spot entry looks odd and hanging. And yes, I do hope to be able to use Microsoft Surface like the veteran friend used.

Therefore, this is the detailed entry where the pictures taken using my precious Canon Ixus 105 [3] and written using laptop Dell Latitude E6330.

Song I Swear, both original and cover version

I was accompanying my friend for tea break yesterday. And we talk about me using song to improve my English. While at the same time trying to understand the meaning of the song and how well is it portrayed in the video clip. I just happen to know I Swear by group All 4 One is cover version. So, I put effort to dig more on it.

"I Swear" is a ballad written by Gary Baker and Frank J. Myers that became a hit for two acts in 1994. Initially, it was a Number One single on the U.S. Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for American country music artist John Michael Montgomery at the beginning of the year. His version crossed over to pop radio and climbed to #42 on the Billboard Hot 100. A few months later, American pop group All-4-One covered the song and achieved a great success in many countries [1,2].
Lyrics:
I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky
And I swear like the shadow that's by your side

[Verse 1]
I see the questions in your eyes
I know what's weighing on your mind
You can be sure I know my part
Cause I stand beside you through the years
You'll only cry those happy tears
And though I make mistakes
I'll never break your heart

[Chorus]
And I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there for better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
Oooh

[Verse 2]
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the walls

And when (and when) just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as time turns the page
My love won't ever age at all

[Chorus]
And I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there) for better or worse
Till death do us part I'll love you
With every beat of my heart and I swear
Oh yeah

I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
For better or worse (better or worse)
Till death do us part I'll love you
With every single beat of my heart
I swear I swear oh oh
I swear

Song Gimme Dat Ding by The Pipkins

"Gimme Dat Ding" is a 1970 popular UK song, of the novelty type, sung by "one-hit wonder" The Pipkins, and written and composed by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood. Released as a single, it is the title selection of an album which The Pipkins recorded and released on the EMI Columbia Records label. The song also appeared on the compilation of the same name, which The Pipkins shared with another up-and-coming UK group The Sweet. It has also been included on many other compilation albums. The song was arranged by Big Jim Sullivan.
In March 2007, a cover version of "Gimme Dat Ding" received much publicity in Australia when the National Australia Bank used the track as background to its television advertisement for the Australian Rules Football Auskick program for junior footballers. The television advertisement is known as "Kick to Kick" and is available for viewing online[5] It also featured in the 1990s TV comedy/drama Ally McBeal [1].

Lyrics:
That's right, that's right, I'm sad and blue
'Cause I can't do the boogaloo
I'm lost, I'm lost, can't do my thing
That's why I sing "Gimme, gimme dat ding!"

Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat

Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding
(Ah, you ain't doing that late at night)

A-ooh, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
(You're right, you're right, it's no use at all)
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
(Eh, they can't tell)
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
(Well, you don't go too far, that's what you do)
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
(Well you look around ya)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
(Gimma dat)
Gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme
(Ah, gotcha)

Gimme dat, gimme dat, gimme, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding

Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme dat ding, gimme dat, gimme, gimme dat
Gimme, gimme, gimme, dat ding

A-ooh, what good's a metronome without a bell for ringing?
(Well, you try and you do your best)
How fast can anybody ever tell he swinging?
(Oh, you ain't doing that at all mama)
How can you tell the rhythm written on a bar?
(Well, you see)
How can you ever hope to know just where you are?
(Ah, yeah gimme dat)
Gimme dat (Do ya wanna make an old man happy?)
Gimme dat

Song My first my last my everything by Barry White

It is John Cage main groove song in Ally Mcbeal series. Especially in Season 2 Episode 9 in minutes 31:50.

It is number 3 song in top 10 song from Barry White [1].
Instead of singing in the opening, he just talks it out and then goes into the song. It features deeply moving strings, upbeat tempo, and beautiful lyrics. Originally, it was written as a country song by one of Barry's co-songwriters. This hit song reached #1 on the R&B charts, #1 in the U.K., and at #2 on the U.S. Hot 100. “You're the First, the Last, My Everything” was heavily showcased in many of the television series episodes of “Ally McBeal.” Whenever the character of John Cage was in a bind, this song came on in his head and he’d mentally recharge himself [1].

Lyrics:
We got it together, didn't we
We've definitely got our thing together don't we baby
Isn't that nice
I mean really, when really sit and think about it
Isn't it really, really nice

I can easily feel myself slipping
In more and more ways
That super world of my own
Nobody but you and me

We've got it together baby

My first, my last, my everything
And the answer to all my dreams
You're my sun, my moon, my guiding star
My kind of wonderful, that's what you are

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
You're, you're all I'm living for, your love I'll keep forevermore
You're the first, you're the last, my everything

In you I've found so many things
A love so new, only you could bring
Can't you see it's you? You make me feel this way
You're like a fresh morning dew on a brand new day

I see so many ways that I
Can love you 'til the day I die
You're my reality, yet I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, the last, my everything

I know there's only, only one like you
There's no way they could have made two
Girl, you're my reality, but I'm lost in a dream
You're the first, you're the last, my everything

You and me baby
It's you, and me
And you are the first, the last, my everything

Till then, have fun enjoying old song😉.

Before You Feel Pressure - WATCH THIS | by Jay Shetty

I like the way he present this. Since too many people is pushing me to follow their timeline. 
Refer to below screenshot from the video.
I like this one.
Strongly agree.

And my cat, Dell still think I am pretty.

Well said here.

Full video of it is here:

"Not everything that counts can be counted; and not everything that can be counted counts." (Albert Einstein) [1].

Doubt not to reap, if thou can't bear to plough. - Judith Maden
Or in my laymen understanding: When you make a decision, you will be the one who will bear all the consequences

To be frank, I really despise people who sneakingly so-called trying to give me good opinion. Where they even have not done it yet. So, why should I bother to listen when they themselves think it is not worth being done? Well, human is a unique living creature. It is really up to me to be creative enough distinguish the wolves that sneaks and disguise to blend into the herd of sheep😇. 

Till then, be strong and firm in what you believe and decide. As you will have to be the last one standing to face all the coming consequences.

Song Tell Him by The Exciters

This song is released in 1962 [1].I feel to look for the song since it is Ally Mcbeal main groove song in Ally Mcbeal series😍 [2].
Lyrics: 
I know something about love. You've gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood, go out and get him
If you want him to be the very part of you
That makes you want to breathe, here's the thing to do...

[Reff:]
Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him, tell him, tell him, tell him right now
I know something about love. You gotta show it and make him
See the moon up above. Reach out and get it
If you want him to make your heart sing out
And if you want him to only think of you...

[Repeat Reff]

Ever since the world began it's been that way
For man and woman were created to make love their destiny
Then why should true love be so complicated? Oh...
I know something about love. You gotta take it and
Show him what the world is made of, one kiss will prove it
If you want him to be always by your side
Take his hand tonight and swallow your foolish pride and..

[Repeat Reff]
