Is a freaking snowstorm night that has got me stuck the whole day since morning at home, doing nothing and bored.
Praying hard that I can dig out my car from the snow pile tomorrow and get to airport on-time without missing anything.
Eating dinner from yesterday. Consider sumptuous because I used all the available food in the fridge.
Packed and realise the whole luggage is less than half full but do not know how to stuff in the creative sub-woofer...
Excited about going back, not very excited after calculation that I will only stay for a short period in Singapore.
Last night in snowing Jersey, longing to go sooner to the hot humid tropical island, yet going to miss all my friends here as well... hmm...

Just A thought
http://new.uk.music.yahoo.com/blogs/touchingthevoid/26957/is-free-music-finished/
I still do not see myself buying more CDs than I would now. It is just a pity because it means that they are ready to lose the one big media to allow people to access and learn new music. Essentially, only those big names will not be impacted. Is it not going to be more difficult for Indie and new artists to be noticed? If they are ready to promote new artist, be sure you will still find them on the Internet, they know too well than to abandon it.
Big records firms simply earn too much in the past and they cannot bear seeing their profit drop.
Not that I will buy Madonna music if I cannot get it for free, in fact I never buy Madonna. I buy all my favourite CDs or through Amazon mp3s, even when I got it online first. It is more important to educate general public on how they should support their favourite artists first. Period.

要去... Last Minute Shopping!
Yes. I confess. I do last minute things, almost without fail. All the presents will be bought at one place, Jersey Gardens.
Most of the time, I do not do shopping, because it is a race against time and always stressful! Hope I can get all the stuff that my friends will like, within today.
Go shopping~

When All That Novelty Is Gone....
Life is just as boring as you perceived it to be, and will be because you thought it to be exactly that way....
The little sparks of excitement just makes it easier for time to pass and a point to remember parts of the monotonous life. Then everything that seemed so great once now looks actually normal and not duller. How boring.....

最初的地方
Recently very much into this old song. I remembered watching the live concert of 伍佰 in youtube.com a few years ago and was wondering what song is this.
Totally forgot about looking up this song in Google... Then a few days ago, I was listening to my mp3 player and suddenly heard this song!! Later found out that the original singer was 劉若英 from her album 很愛很愛你 (damn long album!)... The answer's been there for a few years, which I never really knew I had it, till now.
伍佰 & China Blue - 最初的地方 (vs. 楊乃文)
作詞：于光中 / 作曲：伍佰
沒有約任何行程的早上 我喜歡打開每扇窗
迷失在充滿誘惑我味覺的廚房 我總是選擇最恬靜的香
昨天或許有遺憾 明天可能的茫然 我不去想 看誰會緊張
或許你會覺得寂寞叫人難以抵抗 它卻帶我回到最初的地方
沒有任何人拜訪的晚上 煩惱丟在回家的路上
太多的讚美讓我快要失去方向 我需要安靜獨自想一想
我懷疑有誰記得 去年有誰得過獎 那重要嗎 我不這麼想
或許你會說孤單叫人有點感傷 它帶我回到最初的地方
回到最初我們來的地方 好多的天真被我們遺忘
你說過快樂就在這路上 從不在乎結果究竟會怎樣
沒有任何人拜訪的晚上 煩惱丟在回家的路上
太多的讚美讓我快要失去方向 我需要安靜獨自想一想
回到最初我們來的地方 好多的簡單被我們遺忘
我說過一定要互相提醒 千萬不能忘記最初的地方
Listen
I found that 楊乃文 is more suitable to sing this song compared to 劉若英, maybe I am biased... (so what? Music preference is of course personal and biased) haha...
