Anggun

I spent the whole day scouring the internet for Anggun's latest tunes coz the the new album will only reach the asia market in december. Not exactly a futile search. I found tons of blogs linking to a whole lot of her tunes. The catch? A whole bunch of these websites, made a disclaimer stating that the songs are meant for personal preview. Some even made a side note to encourage the 'real fans' to buy her original stuffz. Whilst the rest are super protective of their idol, they totally disabled the right-click function on the song links. WOWWWW. How cool is it to have fans who are super protective of your work that they would go to such lengths to make sure that people do not keep ripping off your music as and when they like for free, and not to mention, illegally.

I would wholeheartedly support the move, if only the songs aren't so inaccesible in sg. Damn. It sure doesn't help when I found out that there was a limited edition version of Luminiscence which features a couple of songs that I love. And obviously I wasn't able to get my hands on that album coz they only churn out 3000 copies and probably have them sold in France only. The latest album also has a limited edition version which I won't be able to get my hands on either. I checked amazon.com, they are not in stock (and even then, I don't understand why some CDs are steeply priced on that website).

So I can only count on the album to be released in asia by december, of which I can be positively sure is just the one comprising tunes in English and Bahasa Indonesia. And none in French. Ergh. Not that I understand French but when it comes to Anggun, I have to listen to her tunes in all three languages. It's more complete that way. I dunno how to explain but that's just how it is. Maybe Anggun should just package her albums in ALL THREE LANGUAGES and sell them all across the globe.

Stupid Deadline

I realized I hadn't been listening to the radio in a very long time. Coz I am at this very moment. And I felt a wave of nostalgia overwhelming me. It's like playing all those songs that I used to listen to on weekend evenings during my sec school days.

I think I stopped listening to the radio ever since I got my first mp3 player. Of which I kept coming up with millions of playlists, or I'd just keep abusing the same song/album on loop. And then when I got the ipod, I got totally carried away watching videos. Plus, the large storage space on ipod only meant that I had an extensive amount of songs from an eclectic range of genres to choose from. I ditched my sony radio until the battery in the remote started oozing out "juice", and is now dead. Damn, I still remember those days when I turned on the radio all throughout the night. It was really my life back then. Wtf.

Anyway, I am now totally stuck on my project. Dammit. And I shot down my own deadline. How convenient. Damn damn damn. It's like doing PW all over again mannnn. And I totally hate it. Yeah, why do I ALWAYS feel miserable whenever I have to do something so academic ehh? I still cannot figure out. Maybe I'd feel better not having to study anymore and counting on myself to save up a year's worth of salary just to get that hawwwtttt handbag. I won't even be able to smell my pink beemer. Yeah right.

And why do I seem to be ONLY motivated by the material perks of life? SERIOUSLY?!?!?! Does owning an entire museum of luxury stuffz constitute happiness in MY encyclopedia??? At this point, YES. But in the long run? I definitely need to back up my future livelihood with something more meaningful. Not just whims and fancies that always always ends up going out of season.

Ok wowwww. It's been ages since I blogged like this. I think so. Do you see how much this project has muddled up my head! Bleah. I guess I'd be better off going to bed. To hell with the bloody deadline.

Dinner

Instant pizza base - spicy sausages - crunchy capsicums - prawns - squids - black olives.

Yet Another Short Entry

I sat for the exam and SURVIVED. It wasn't so hard actually. It's just that, I totally forgot how absolutely suffocating being in an examination room can be. I hope I can at least pass the paper. That aside, I've got a project to complete and yet another exam scheduled on the 30th.

Met up with Imma after the exam. She need to get her hair fixed. And after which we did the usuals. Raffles City - City Link - Marina Square - Suntec City. Will never get sick and tired of that routine. Haha.

It's the 16th today. Barely ten days to the 10km run. I hope it won't be so chilly on that morning. I really cannot run in that condition coz it tend to make my stomach squirm. As it is I cannot bear going for jogs early in the morning. I'd always preferred running in the evening.

Commercial Break

I always feel miserable whenever I have to study. Why? Why ehh? Anyway, there's yet another tv series to look forward to. If you are a fan of Gossip Girl, I think you'll love Privileged too. I've watched the first few episodes and I kinda like it. Plus, like GG, it is also adapted from a teen book series by Zoey Dean. I forgot the title of the book though. Uhh ok, break time's over. Bleah.

Get In The Loop

Tomorrow's gonna be the airing of an epic episode of Gossip Girl. Coz Serena's gonna fight Blair back and that is sooo gonna be exciting. But heck, I do think that every single episode of GG are epics anyway. Except for, perhaps, the first few episodes of season 2. Seriously, Lord Marcus and the Duchess are two of the most bizzare and unnecessary characters to start the second season. They came and they went.

At least when they introduced Georgina Sparks in the final few episodes of season 1, it was something worth anticipating. What with the double (bitchy) identity Georgina picked up, just to get back at Serena. Ohh, and is it just me or is Blair lesser of a meano in the new season? She's like overly perky in season 2. I really think I prefer her character wayy better in the first season.

The new season of Amazing Race is up and running too! To make it better, channel 5 airs the show the same time as it is being aired in the US. Though it starts sooo early in the morning. 8 am I think? But who cares. It's not like as though I have school to get to early in the morning. I can just wake up at 8 to catch the show and then go back to bed. And maybe wake up around noon to get my assignments over and done with. Hah.

Seems like I'm on a roll, catching on with all these entertainment stuffz. Coz there was a period of time when I couldn't be bothered to keep myself in the loop with all the latest tv shows. And life was pretty bleak then. I didn't know watching tv can be therapeutic and super enriching. I should have known better. It sorta opens up your window (really wide) to the world, that's why. Though some may think that tv does more harm than good. Uhh, at this point in time, I'd like to think otherwise.

So other than the tv, I have been trying my best to update myself with the latest tunes. Made some improvements. But I still prefer to revert my ears to the tunes from the 80s and 90s. And even oldies. Somehow, those tunes will forever have that 'feel good' vibe to it. And of course, I can actually live through the day playing Anggun on repeat. Seriously. On that note, her latest album is coming out sooonnn! I-am-so-excited! Lol.

At this point in time, I already have several albums stuffed into my ipod. Those stuffz that I wasn't much inclined to listen to back then. I thought I might as well catch on with the hype that Jason Mraz have caused. Really good earworms, I have to say. But he sound so much like Jack Johnson. I gave up Jack Johnson after a really short while coz the songs are too laid back and slowy and kinda melancholy at times. No chance telling when I'll give up JM eh. I guess I can endure BSB's sappy pop/rock ballad or even Bon Jovi's slow tunes. Their's brings about a deep effect. Extremely heart-tugging, I tell ya. I'll save JM and JJ for rainy days though.

One final note, I've got my exam scheduled for this coming Thursday. That's it.

Randoms

I just came back from a sushi outing with my couz. Caught sight of the stuffz on my desk, and I kinda like how those stuffz that I randomly placed on it matched my tech stuffz. All red. The hairband, the latest issue of Reader's Digest and the sappy compilation of Love Songs CD.
This is probably one-tenth of the food that we ate at Hei Sushi. We ate tons! Couldn't be bothered to take so many pics coz we're really enjoying the food. Anyway, I really love the potato croqette (spell?), the one on the black plate. It's potato fritters with crispy coating drizzled with some sorta sweet sauce. I would down ten servings if I could but usually you'd get that muak feeling after just two plates. How sad.
