Fridays are essentially the most random among all days. From work to play, to making choices and meeting people, just about anything and everything is randommm. (Everybody get rannndommm. - Lady Sovereign)
Ended up in Harry's Bar for whisky was random.
Wooo I met my random temporary co-worker by chance and he showed me lotsa new tricks to get my way about watching videos and listening to internet radio exclusive to US only. I sure some of you guys already know, So I won't elaborate.
Oh how I miss Pandora. Now I love you all over again.
And hulu, here I come!
And Saturday Night Live just reminds me of the hilarious and provocative Sarah Silverman. Can't remember how I chanced upon her, but her antics really cheer me up. Woo!
Anyway, I bought the soundtrack of Control, a compilation of Joy Division's finest as well as some numbers by New Order, Ian Curtis' major influence Early David Bowie and some other Artists. Love the movie poster... the album cover art. Woo Can't wait for the movie premiere!
And the crickets by the bus-stop were so chirpy and hypnotic that I'd prolly follow it into in the burrow.
There is only one way to convince yourself that love and relationships and all that crap is for nothing. It's when family relationships start to crumble. And all the comfort you can get are from vices, not from any one of your so-called friends.
Bah. Anyway, I made up my mind to quit my job by next year and take my musicianship seriously. This island is really too small to remain grounded and narrow-minded. I just feel so suffocated by all the hype, phony ponies who'd only need your help when they are in trouble. And KPIs KPIs KPIs... y'know... fuck that.
I got myself one ticket to Control (Joy Division) this weekend. Thought L may wanna join me for some good UK indie movie, but no go. Okay, go. I'm up for Sunday's afternoon slot. So Cya @ substation yo.
And oh, I paid a visit to the new and uber-flowerpower peranakan museum with my colleague today. The interior was so back to the 20s man. Such rich and vibrant culture (ethnic asian aspect), though I never quite look up to their snotty ways of adapting brit culture.
I'm always intrigued by batik cloths and painting. I was in for a real treat @ the museum. Redefining traditional batik art are some younger generation of peranakan designers adapting batik into contemporary fashion.
Nasi Lemak, anyone?

Sunday was such a bad day to stay outside, or indoors even. I wanted to get the Sony Microvault 1GB thumbdrives so badly. SL's shop was having a promotion @ Sim Lim Square. $14.90/- ! DAMN! But when I got there, it was only the toshibas that were the cheapest. Gah!
Worked on my report in the Central Library. And lunch @ Hans was really a bad experience. DON'T EAT THERE!!!
Wow. And I met J most randomly. We end up shopping and hang out at city hall. Skinnies!
Thereafter I met up with Di for a good chat over some good treats at Gelare. Apple Crumble with Chocolate Overload! Hell yeah it's good.
My road warrior gear is complete!
I finally found a Manhattan Portage Messenger Bag to hold my laptop. And the Muji Laptop sleeve is just sleek. Woo.
I figure that I can lug my bass and laptop/work stuff to the office all at once.
Been very keen on the Brit movie, Control. A film about Joy Division, and the biopic of Ian Curtis. Brilliantly directed by Anton Corbijn, it screens on 10th May 2008 @ The Substation, Armenian St. Tix are going @ 14 bucks, I think.
