Avril Lavigne
- My Happy Ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oooooh....
Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead
Was it something I did?
Was it something you said?
Don't leave me hangin'
In a city so dead
Held up so high
On such a breakable thread
[Pre-Chorus:]
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be
But we lost it (but we lost it)
All of the memories, so close to me
Just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending (Oh oh, oh oh)
Oh oh, oh oh
You've got your dumb friends
I know what they say
They tell you I'm difficult
But so are they (So are they)
But they don't know me
Do they even know you? (Even know you)
All the things you hide from me
All the shit that you do (All the shit that you do)
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
It's nice to know that you were there,
Thanks for acting like you cared
And making me feel like I was the only one
It's nice to know we had it all
Thanks for watching as I fall
And letting me know we were done
[Chorus:]
He was everything, everything that I wanted
And We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending...
[Chorus:]
You were everything, everything that I wanted
And we were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it
And all of the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh....
Oh oooooh....
- My Happy Ending
Oh oh, oh oh
So much for my happy ending

Advertising encourages a desire for products which people do not actually need. Discuss.
For many years, much debate has been raised over the purpose of advertisements. It is indeed unbearable and frustrating at times when the television programme we are viewing is at its climax and a commercial break has to interrupt it. And often, we see viewers writing in to the forum, complaining that the number of advertisements aired during the commercial break is ridiculous, questioning the need for them. The bombardment of advertisements not only comes from commercial breaks, but also in the newspaper as well as at the bus waiting areas. This marketing tactic adopted by numerous companies has reflected its effectiveness in boosting the companies' sales and leads us to wonder whether advertising has encouraged a desire for products which people do not actually need. I believe that advertising does play a major role in the decision making of consumers when it comes to the purchasing of goods unnecessary for them.
With firms trying their best to associate their products with cool images or advanced and developed technology, consumers will no doubt be attracted to their products to a slightest extent. For example, in the recent years, the multi-national communications corporation, Sony Erricson, came up with new mobile phone models. The advertisements publicizing the launch of their new products have certainly contributed greatly to their sales. The Sony Ericsson Walkman-branded W-series music phones are notable for being the first music-centric series mobile phones, prompting a whole new market for portable music that was developing at the time. Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phone are endorsed by pop star Christina Aguilera across Europe. While the W series music phones are being launched in 2005, the CyberShot-branded line of phones were introduced, starting in 2006. Sony Ericsson kicked off its global marketing campaign for Cyber-shot phone with the launch of ‘Never Miss a Shot’. The campaign featured top female tennis players Ana Ivanović and Daniela Hantuchova. These popular figures associated with the phones has created a very trendy image for these new series and encouraged consumers to possess one. thus advertising in this case has made more people to change their phones unnecessarily to ensure a "cool" image.
Furthermore, the ingenious advertising schemes companies adopt has encouraged a desire for products which people do not actually need. Many companies have contracted famous artistes to be the spokesperson of their products, such as Qi Qi, as the spokesperson of SK II, a facial whitening beauty product. Devoted fans as well as those who are deluded into thinking looks are what matter most for success in life or romance would show their support for the product. They are easily convinced by the positive effects of consuming that beauty product as the spokesperson is a real evidence for the effectiveness of the good. These beauty products are not necessities but advertising has managed to persuade consumers into purchasing them.
However, advertising does ensure that people keep up with the latest developments and help us make an informed choice. In 2002, the National Environment Agency introduced a voluntary Energy Labelling Scheme for air-conditioners and refrigerators. The labels provide energy performance information to help consumers choose energy-efficient models and thus save on their energy bills. As of January 2006, 121 air-conditioner and 77 fridge models were labeled. In the advertisement of the Mitsubishi air-conditioners endorsed by Jack Neo, the air-conditioners are showed to be easily maintainable and consumers can save electricity bills by purchasing this product. Advertising has allowed consumers to make informed choices on appliances whose energy consumption form a significant part of their utilities bills. Thus advertising in this case has actually benefited people as they are encouraged to make the correct decision on things that they actually need.
Advertising of annual great sales and clearance sales also encouraged people to splurge on things that they do not need. As the opportunity to buy things at a bargained price is rare, people would be drawn into a shopping spree to fulfil their desire to spend. Eventually, many ended up purchasing things that they do not require. Yet it is not always true that advertising encourages a desire to buy goods that they do not actually need because consumers may still be more interested in the selling price of the products.
On the other hand, advertising has played an important part in the entertainment industry and our lives because it has kept people updated with the latest music and movies. For example, through the advertisements in the newspapers and television, we are able to learn about the snippets of upcoming movies and indulge ourselves in the entertainment brought about by mass media, which undoubtedly, has added flavour to our otherwise mundane life. Even though these music CDs or DVDs might not be a necessity in our lives, and advertising has developed a desire in us to purchase them, we do derive pleasure out of them. Thus advertising has made our lives more enjoyable in a sense.
In conclusion, advertising has a great influence on people's preferences as it is able to ignite the greed in Man to possess something that might reflect a status of wealth or fashion, encouraging a desire for products that they do not need.

this song is quite some time ago but heard it playing in one shop in BPP ahha so nice! title is called 鸭子 ahah
看着你搭 taxi 孤单地离去,
全世界只剩我在淋雨,
想着你可能去谁或谁怀里,
胡闹猜搞的我无法呼吸.
明明是好天气却感觉下雨的情绪,
我和你为何都我对不起你,
转个弯到街上一个人溜冰,
要自己象只骄傲的鸭子,
不要爱的鸭子.
啊呵去吧
没什么了不起,
什么都依你却看轻我自己,
虽然我爱你不许你带孩子气
寂寞的鸭子
也可以不要你.
有时爱会让人变得笨笨地,
习惯性只去你的心里,
没有你我的心就像遥控器,
在每个频道里
疯狂找你疯狂想你疯狂看你.
看着你搭 taxi 孤单地离去,
全世界只剩我在淋雨,
想着你可能去谁或谁怀里,
胡闹猜搞的我无法呼吸.
明明是好天气却感觉下雨的情绪,
我和你为何都我对不起你,
转个弯到街上一个人溜冰,
要自己象只骄傲的鸭子,
不要爱的鸭子.
啊呵去吧
没什么了不起,
什么都依你却看轻我自己,
虽然我爱你不许你带孩子气
寂寞的鸭子
也可以不要你.
有时爱会让人变得笨笨地,
习惯性只去你的心里,
没有你我的心就像遥控器,
在每个频道里
疯狂找你疯狂想你疯狂看你.
