had a nightmare. i dreamt that i wasn’t catching up with my university work.
had to look at the date when i woke up so to reassure myself that school haven even start, much less consultations. totally wtf.
why do i have to go through all these!?!
–
i need to go cycling and also make a trip to the arcade so that i can play some drum games.. or para para. whatever. this is really getting me.
–
going to hk next week. cannot get the groove or excitement. maybe i should start burying myself under all the mud.
–
can’t run. my knee is hurting. i don’t want to think (or know, for that matter) about the reasons that may be causing it.
–
very short tempered these days. (ok, fine, i am short tempered all the time) i didn’t mean to shout but i can’t help it because the volume just goes up when i am highly irritated or agitated. whichever comes first.
maybe i need some anger management lessons or beer.

and why is 爱 on channel 8 EVERYDAY at 7pm?!! it is not even watchable!

i have been catching glee on the internet these days.
for the unknown, glee is a US tv series. and it is all about school, music and witty (but sometimes, retarded) dialogue.
there are a lot of talented singers in this tv series, and i think all of them really deserve to cut an album or something. but one person, she really caught my ears.
and she is not even in the main cast.
kristin chenoweth. she is the woman. really. the way she sings, it is full of power and gusto. the way she protrays herself, it is always so full of confidence. you cannot help but not notice her eyes. when she sings, her eyes always seem to be elsewhere.. she doesn’t need to capture the feeling. it is already in her. and what she is doing, is just singing it to you, which she does perfectly.
i think that is what is missing in alot of singers these days and i think that is what attracts me to her singing and her stage personality. when she sing, i can feel her sadness (it is usually the sad pieces that get me going) and her frustration. i am in awe of her. i can’t emphasize on that more.
maybe it is the choice of songs, it is always broadway kind. maybe i am attracted to the broadway music. i don’t know, and honestly can’t be bothered.
i just know i enjoy watching her sing. and also want to hear her from my mp3 player, more than anyone else.
bad quality, but you don’t need it to hear for yourself how bleeding good she is.

i woke up today with a song stuck in my head.
rmb the tune, but can only rmb two parts of the lyrics.
你是自由的…. 我是透明的
tt’s all. zzzzz.
in the end i found it, and had a good laugh at the mv. totally diao.
hahaha.
but it was a memorable song i guess. 15 years and still not gone, not bad.

i am really digging jamie cullum’s the pursuit. like really really really REALLY digging.
perhaps it is because i haven really been touching jazz all along, or perhaps the jazz singers i have rubbed shoulders with are either too pop (michael buble) or really pure jazz (michael manson)
jamie cullum is different. his music is filled with the sound of piano and drums and occassionally, electronic sounds.
(yes, he is not as handsome or tall as michael buble. but his voice is good)
the pursuit is a ultimately a good mix of all these music.
tracks like ‘just one of those things’, ‘i am all over it, ‘mixtape’ and ‘music is through”.. they grow on you.. so badly that you just want to listen to them all day long
‘ don’t stop the music’ and ‘we run things’ instantly caught my attention and is still catching my attention.
i especially love ‘ don’t stop the music’. it is a cover of rihanna’s song. but jamie cullum’s version is so much darn better.
i personally have a favourite playlist that i update regularly. never have i put 6 songs from the same album into that playlist. the pursuit is the first one to do it.
and now i am listening back to his old albums. 20something, catching tales and pointless nostalgic.. all i can say, it is getting better.
the way the piano explodes is insane to be honest. but i like his attire. good match of colours.
maybe i am getting sick of the rock and teeny pop songs. it is adult contemporary these days.. i guess.

i got my series 20 bearbricks yesterday.
first and last from series 20. gremlins on the extreme left. captain action on the extreme right.
usually. and i mean ‘ usually’ i only buy one from each series. but this time round, i bought two. hai. i shouldn’t have, i know. but here are the few reasons i give myself on why i bought two.
reason 1.
it is the 20th anniversary. so i should buy 2. yes, precisely. and no, i will stick with two even if it is the 30th, 40th, 50th anniversary.. or so i hope.
reason 2.
the first one i got was from the gremlins.
ok, reason 2 needs to be elaborated. when i first saw the bearbricks from series 20, i shuddered a bit , because there’s a gremlin one in it. and personally i don’t really like gremlins because er.. i think i saw the movie before when i was (much) younger on tv and the impression made wasn’t very friendly. in fact i think i can say it was scary.
oh, yah. then i went to gold coast for a holiday.. and went to warner brother’s themepark. again, i saw the gremlins. and this time round it was in the form of a themeride. then i somehow managed to land myself on the ride. and came out frightened. that furry thing wasn’t friendly. it was a crazy, scary and horrifying fur ball. i don’t rmb if i did cry after the ride. but i just know i don’t like it.
so you can imagine how stunned i was when i got the gremlin bearbrick.
and i so i got another one. captain action this time. i actually quite like the captain action one. even though it is supposed to be under horror.
yah. i don’t like germlins. i don’t know why anyone likes it. but ah, heck, i am still keeping it. it is a bearbrick first, then a gremlin. not the other way.
reason 3.
i am getting my pay?
but it turns out to be a bloody shit thing. i only got 380, not 400 that i have previously calculated. but but, this fellow doesn’t look like he is lying to me (he even told me he gave me extra!) and yah my bad, i didn’t keep track the models i sold everyday.. =.=
whatever. not worth it to get to the roots of it for 20 bucks.

today i want to talk about something serious.
fine, you are right, i always talk about serious stuff.. but today is different, i want to talk about something i am ashamed of.
i want to talk about my flaws and fears. everything. bloody everything. and i am not going to justify it with anything. there is nothing to justify anyway.

reading books allows me to see how people think on various huge problems about life.
i recommend letters to sam by daniel gottlieb. it is a great book. so awesome that i am considering buying one and putting it on my bookshelf so that i can refer to it whenever i need some lessons on life.
i guess everyone is just different. all of us treat life differently. very much like how we treat the chair in our house.
most will sit with the back against the backrest, (afterall, tt is what the backrest is for right) some will sit there still, with the cushion on the butt, some will put the cushion against their back and not on the butt. some will rock the chair. some will rest their feet on a certain part of the chair.
but a few will turn the chair around, and sit with the backrest in front of them. like what i am doing now.
a new way of sitting for me, even though i have known it for a very long time. to be honest, it is quite refreshing to sit like that.
i lost a backrest, but suddenly i gained a chin rest.
and suddenly.. i am starting to admire the woodcraft of the backrest.. something i haven done before.
wow. amazing. in awe by how the way you sit on the chair teaches you so much huh.
