'Bohemia'/REVIEW

  • Now Playing: Jamiroquai - Dynamite

    ‘I Can’t stabd to fly
    I’m not that naïve
    I’m just starting to find
    The better patrt of me

    It may absurd
    But son’t be naïve
    Even heroes have the right to bleed
    It’s not easy
    To be me ….'


    Okay, got that outta my system. Same ol’ shit, just a different day.

    Now, this has nothing to do with what was written above. Shock, shock horror, horror, horror, shock shock. Horror. I made my way down to H.V. today. Yea to some people it be sonsidered bloody ‘bohemia’, to me it’s my lepak spot, I can go there in my berms n tee and just chill the whole day there, and nights sometimes.

    Didn’’t know the carnage they have done in building an MRT station there. Soon, gone are the days of it being a quiet, uaint spot for people around that area to to run their errands, meet up and stuff.Really can’t imagine the type of crowd it may attract when the damn MRT opens in afew yars time, probably some swaku from gawd knows where. I really don’t understand why the hell would they want to build a station when it’s so fucking accessible. You’ve got Buena Vista MRT just behind (are Singaporeans tat lazy to walk these days?) You’ve got a shitload of buses that have to go along Holland road, so why ? WHY? WHY!! I feel that somethings are better left untouched, it’s starting to feel it’s charm …..

    Abways, if I am in Holland village, it’s usually cos of 4 things: music, Food or to meet up with peps and of course, the most excessible chicken rice stall for me .. haha. And yea, went to Rhapsody ad finally got some nu choons, so heres a quick review…

    Bought 5 cds today + 1(Alvin gave me a anniversary compilation that he compiled himself). This may seem excessive but I’ve been starved for 4 damn moths, apart form the few albums that Dames dumped into my lappy when I waas down for the weekend in May. Anyway, I’ve already went through 4 of ‘em:

    Verve Unmixed 3: continuation from the 2nd compilation, classic ol’ skool jazz from the 50’s and 60’s. Say no more, I might wanna get the 1st one just for sollection’s sake.
    The second CD was this Mondo Bossa CD, featuring rare 60’s Bossa Nova tracks, it’s almost got this 60’s spy thriller soundtrack going on about it, Bit of that 60’s groove and funk,hilled nonn the less.
    Third CD was X=Rated Lazz, yea sounds cheesy but it’s the usal Nu Jazz, do have afew tracks form that Skima Records compilation that Ihave. At the moment.
    Last one need no introduction. Jamiroquai’s latest: Dynamite . I’ve finally gotten round in getting one of his CDs, he’s one of those artiste that would be on my list but don’t why I always opt to get something else. None the less, he keeps to what he knows on this one, which would be good in a way: electro funk, jazzy house’ish (highly remixable), though tere are some rather raw tracks on this one, abit of acoustic guitar and stuff. Good shit.

    The 2 remaining albums would be Rhapsody ^th abbiversary CD, I gather it would be the usual stuff that Alvin plays when I’m there. The orger Cd would be Thhe Bravery, something along the lines of Franz Ferdinand, The Jikkers, Razorlight, Kesabian etc, indie or garage rock if you’d wanna fir a genre to it. Sounds like New Order or Duran Duran if you’d wanna go way back….. This would uench my thirst for a week or 2 …..

    Arms are aching ….

Jedi returns

Now Playing: -

Well, it's good to be back, to kickstart the mayhem. But unfortunately it didn't start with the bang that I've come to be used to, it was more of a stuttle.

But hey, it was nice to have met up with Evs and Josh, really was. Ah well, there's always fridays to come and to look forward to. Though I think I've come to the conclusion that Saturday nights are a nono for me nightlife wise. I don't think I can thik of a Saturday that I've enjyed. It's usually a friday or a wednesday night. Ho hum ....

Singledom

Now Playing: Tom & Joyce

Well, it’s quite apparent that I’ve been single, always have been, always will? Well, let’s see…. M encounters of the heart has been a pandora’s box of memories.

It has ranged fomr going fomr the wrong person, having missed chances, either to late or just standing stagnant. So would these experienences be the reason why I’m still where I am now?

I often asked myself that. That past experiences have made me relies that I’ll be better off being single and just have a good and lively social group, which I do have. So would this status of mine be subconscious by choice?? Have I missed out on afew?

Well, some people have told me that it’ll come, well I hope so. Some also say to ecplore and have no preferences. Well I don’t really see the point to this. And well, even when I do come across someone yea, time and time again we’d hit it off and well, become good friends and there this fear never to try your luck because once you go over that ‘friendship’ boundary, there’s no turning back.

When would you know when you’ve known you’ve found the one? And there might be another ‘one’ that you might have let slip by?? They always say that there’ll be someone out there for everyone… I wonder about that sometimes…

That's just pride fucking with me...

Now Playing: Andre Bocelli & Sarah Brightman - Time to Say Goodbye

I have a disability. As hard as I try to do what a normal person has to do, I am already 50 miles behind to begin with.

The reason why I am saying this? Well, it has to do with my examination that I am supposedly to sit for this Wednesday. It is really a lot of reading and not the type you could smoke your way through.

I was given the chance to cut through all this bulshit and just say I wanted a deferred take home essay style examination but oh no. Defered: Because the damn unit coordinator didn’t get what I meant by an alternative form of examination and she thought it just be extra time and all that bullshit, gawd.

Oh no: Because it was my pride and ego I guess that said that I could do a normal paper but it’s virtually impossible for me (my eye that is) to hold steady without flickering while reading. Well, to me I always thought that doing a take home essay would be a copout, an excuse that I do have a aproblem, but I would have to face the truth now dead straight.

Well, and to be truthful, a take home examination dies make you ubderstand and learn more stuff…..

Another ting to worry about …. Argh….

nuth'n in particular

Now Playing: Mozart's Pachabel Canon in D

Well, the weather has really gone mental, and I thought Melbourne had mad weather, Perth has got like 4 seasons in a second going on at the moment.

I know I have something to write at the moment but my mind just can't eem to get around to it. It's got to do with choices, chances and regrets for those i can think of at the mean time. Phrasing it into sentences, prargraphs would take some doing but I think I'm getting around to it.

Why his reflective state you might ask? Well, I guess it be the weather for one tging, procrastinating another, and also what poeple ay to you.

This is no ego trupping session but I sincerely appreciate being appreciated. I gues it would be in my natural pessimitic view that I would ee it as I'm alway takn adventage, being tossed aside when something fresh comes along. Maybe it's the scars fomr the pat coming back, to be tugged along again.

At times when I'm here I do feel like it's secondary chool, but I guess back then it be all about conformity and not being yourself. And yet, you keep saying to yourself just that, but still you'd still want to humble yourslef to such mere mortals.

Arrogance is of now, humility would be permanent.

I'll leave it at that.

Theis enntry is yet anotherexcuse of avoiding the inevitable, which would be that I am staring at the barrel of a gun and would be playing russian roulette pretty much sonn ... such is the fine art of procrastination.
