one;
But I was so bored of studying that I finally caved and got a Twitter. Yeah, I am a slow follower like that. Hit me up with yours, and let me know if there's people/celebrities that I absolutely have to follow.


two;
All those posts about the new Supernatural episode is making me sad that I'm so damn behind on episodes. Twelve episodes. TWELVE. What is wrong with me? In other TV issues, just renew Chuck already, NBC!

three;
I haven't posted music in a while, have I? Check this band out if you don't already know them.


Sample: Malbec - Answering Machine
Yes, it's that song in Chuck where Morgan quits the Buy More, strips of his shirt, and tries to carry Anna out of the store. (See! How is that show not worthy of a third season!) Malbec has a bit of a pop, electronic, hip-hop, rock sound to them. Yeah, it's a mesh of everything. It seems like they're still experimenting around with their style, but it's good music all around. They just released a string of EPs over the past months, a set of 5 Answering Machine EPs, one per month. A weird little concept thing, I suppose. I haven't had the time to listen to all 5 EPs yet, but I'm liking what I heard so far. They're good to listen to on a lazy afternoon.

And yes, I'm cheating since I'm technically not uploading anything for you. Well.

3am. It's raining. And it's quiet and peaceful, and you can almost believe that you're completely alone. I adore nights like these. It's too pleasant a night to spend sleeping or studying, so I'll just take the time to breathe in the cold air and listen to soft and pretty music.

I really should be studying though. Anyway, while I'm at it, I've got quite a few albums uploaded, will post it later.


And hello to all the new people on my flist. I might have gone overboard with the friending, but fill this in, will ya? ♥. Also, if by any chance I didn't add you back, it's not because I'm mean, it's because I accidentally missed it. Let me know, k?

Esplanade Concert Hall
1 Esplanade Drive
Singapore 038981
 
Tickets go on sale through all SISTIC (www.sistic.com) outlets from June 27.


I'm still spazzing. If I'm not at work, I would have screamed really loudly. Now I'm just internally flailing.


ot; Photobucket got hacked? Wow.

eta; Also, first ever Comic Convention in Singapore. Not like there'll be any big names, but not bad, Singapore, not bad at all.

one;

You are in a mall when the zombies attack. You have:
1. one weapon.
2. one song blasting on the speakers.
3. one famous person to fight alongside you.

* Weapon can be real or fictional; you may assume endless ammo if applicable. Person can be real or fictional.

1. Guns are useless against them, right? Just give me a shiny sharp machete, and I'm good to go.
2. Metallica. Anything by them will do.
3. Dean&Sam. (Shut up. They're one entity.)

two;

Name me a character or ship or fandom (or multiples) in the comments and I'll give you a song in return. If I'm not familiar with your choice I'll either choose a song based on what I know from the flist, or hit random on my iTunes and wait for hilarity to ensue.

I dreamt of zombies last night. (And no, I haven't seen any zombie movies since I Am Legend, which was Christmas last year. Does Cloverfield or the trailer for Fringe count?) They wore a thin white film over their faces. The white film either came from their mouths when they changed or they grabbed it from somewhere. I can't remember. And the people around me became zombies rather randomly. It was some unknown trigger, but I don't know what, and that lack of knowledge is freaky. But it wasn't really a nightmare. Sure, it was a little scary, with the chasing and the running and the grabbing, but I wasn't really frightened out of my wits. Everything was just white. And green. There were trees and water. But not the murky humid kind. It was more of, ethereal. Yeah, zombies with white faces in a fairytale setting. Brain, what's up?

two;
1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter. (I think everyone has done it by now, but if you still want a letter, go ahead.)
2. List 5 songs that start with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.

breathe_me27 gave me H.
The Weepies; Hideaway
The Submarines; Hope
Broken Social Scene; Hotel
Frou Frou; Hear Me Out
Sia; Healing Is Difficult

(Just let me know if you want any of the songs.)

Oh Twilight fandom. While I'm not one of the pioneer fans, I like to think of myself as one of the earlier ones, before the fandom exploded with a million pre-teens. I got it for my birthday in February last year, and I brought New Moon a week later. I love the book for the guilty pleasures it offers, the innocence it invokes, and the epic love it represents. Now, maybe it's the hype surrounding RPrattz and KStew, maybe it's the fandom itself, I find Twilight... ridiculous. I've read the first chapter of Breaking Dawn, and my first impression was that it's funny. Cheesy-lame funny, not sweet-cute funny. Maybe I've been exposed to the glittery comments on ONTD for too many times. Before this August, I definitely need to shut off from the fandom (and hatedom), curl up with a cup of iced tea, and recapture the magic of Edward Cullen.

four;


And is this me posting an album with every entry? I don't know. Do you want me to? Perhaps as penance for being missing for almost 6 months? There's just a whole bunch of new releases this year that I really want to share. The Submarines, Nada Surf, The National, The Weepies, The Raveonettes, etc. 2008 is a good year for music. I don't even know what my Album of the Year will be.

Damn, I miss LJ so much, but at last, I have returned! I know I said I'll be back sooner, but I've just been lazing around. The weather has been brutally warm. How is my flist? Still having finals?

I'm aware that I've been neglecting this journal since last year, but now that school is done till August, I'm gonna have quite some free time  so I'll definitely be around more. So yeah, I'm gonna start commenting on your entries, pretending that I've been doing so all along (ahem). But, if you're reading this and thinking, who the hell is this person, you are free to defriend me. It's completely my fault for disappearing for so long.

Now, I expect everyone already has a copy of this, but just in case.


I've listened to it a few times, and while some songs sound like their usual style, others are quite different. I think they have come a long way from Transatlanticism, which is a shame because for me, that will always be my favorite album from them. Oh, and What Sarah Said on Plans, that is a stunning song. That is not to say this new album isn't any good. It is. At least, I think it is. I need to listen to it more. So far, I like Your New Twin Sized Bed and The Ice Is Getting Thinner, probably because those two songs are more of their old style. Still, Seth Cohan would be proud.

Also: Supernatural Boss Eric Kripke Spills on Dean's Soul and Plans for Season Four (spoilers!) I'm really looking forward to the rest of the season. It sounds awesome. 

It's 6am. I haven't slept the whole night. I'm tired, but I don't really want to sleep. You know how that feels like, don't you? (maybe that's the caffeine talking; coffee/tea)

No, I don't really know what I'm talking about either. (or maybe it's the soft soothing korean indie I'm listening to)

Yes, apparently, American and Canadian indie isn't enough for me. I have to go dig into the Korean indie music scene, even though I don't understand a single word or it. Okay, maybe a few phrases I do know, but that's about it. But their indie music is so very pretty, how can I resist? Mostly though, I blame Coffee Prince. It's a Korean drama, a very good one. I'm addicted to it, now in the process of watching it for the second time. Think Twelfth Night, but crazier, wilder, cuter, funnier. Plus, it's about coffee. ♥






6.30am now. Should I even bother sleeping?
