listening to nicholas gunn's journey to yellowstone now.. very soothing and nice to chill out to. it can almost bring me back to the nature with the waterfall sounds and nice soothing melodies. he's a great musician, glad i bought his cd yesterday at causeway music junction. i had to admit, it was on the spur of the moment cos me and kailyn were in the store and his album was playing and we found it absolutely nice. goodness, track 3, seeking serenity is damn nice. the piano and all. wow. we heard another album as well, think it was by a jap jazz singer and her voice is damn powerful. very very nice. she resang hits using her own distinctive style and that was what mesmorised the both of us. so in the end we got albums that we didnt intend to when we stepped into the shop initially. almost wanted to buy the buble album, but decided to save up and get nora jones second album.

surprisingly i realised during the period of prelims, Alevels and the days after that, there was a transition in the music i listen to. i rely alot on new age and jazz to soothe me and keep me calm and serene. and i listen to alot of oldies as well now. in fact, i dont listen to perfect 10 at all now. ask me what's the latest hit in english music and i cannot give you an answer. my radio is either tuned to class 95, or ufm 1003. yeah and in my mp3 player, most songs are either jazz or gregorian chants. i like gregorian chants. it is just so.. calming? i spose it has a calming effect on me. and the nicholas gunn ablum is getting very very very nice. i cant wait to listen to kailyn's cd she bought. she bought david gates as well. according to her his lyrics are very soulful and meaningful.

which brings me to another point. i realise i dont read lyrics in the booklet whenever i get new cds. i only need the cd and that's it. maybe because i listen to the melodies first and that will be the key stuff that attract me. they can have nice lyrics and all but usually i cannot be bothered to take out the booklet to read. which is precisely why kailyn bought the jap jazz singer album because they had lyrics in there while i bought nicholas gunn which is solely instrumental.

surprisingly both of us had the similar transition in the music we listen to. is it happening to the rest as well? i dont know. i cant figure out why caused the change, but maybe bcause stress during the exam period caused me to seek new ventures in soothing my nerves and since listening to music is one of my hobbies, i chose to seek new areas of music. and since i was sooo interested in jazz after listening to it every saturday thanks to the ufm dj from 10-12, i decided to pick up jazz.. still learning and all but i guess what i download and listen to are the classics which are continuosly being resang by famed jazz singers like Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, Stacey Kent, Ella Fitzgerald etc.. some famous jazz songs so i think i should be getting some jazz cds to widen my scope of jazz music.. yeah. and as for new age, maybe i should move out of gregorian and listen to some other stuff? Music junction is a very good place for people like me. cos they really introduce good new age and jazz music. think they're trying to move and shift their focus on that kind of music. or so it seems to me. yep.

had such a great time with kailyn yesterday. went out for almost the whole day after work, eating lunch and dinner together and going handphone shopping and library together. yeah. she's really one very good friend that i can really rely on. a friend for 12 years, ongoing 13 and a friend for life. we shared our years gossiping and talking, sharing our innermost secrets and fun moments like that. think we got even closer in jc. and now that we're teaching in the same school, things get even better. she's currently one string that holds me down to sanity in the school. how i would wish she wont leave to do her research so soon.

met 2 couples at the library yesterday (can be considered 2 couples la yeah?) surprisingly. mixue, yijian and yy,gabriel. saw gab in his army hairstyle, somehow it dint shock me that much. he doesnt really look that different altogether, or maybe the somewhat bald hairstyle quite suits him i guess. and yijian with his mop of hair. haha. him and mixue seriously look very sweet and loving together. dint really talk to him that much lah, since mixue was with him. *laughs*

but yesterday was seriously a fun day. after not getting to watch the odd couple since there were no more seats left.

met mei at je central just now to get her handphone. actually im quite surprised that nokia 2100 sells for quite a high price, even the second hand ones. in fact, very surprised. i was counting on it fetching prices like $80-$100. and not more than $100. but it did. she finally got her phone for $120. i do wish whoever took her phone can return to her, so that she can sell it off and recoup some of her money though it wont be much. if my phone 6510 can only fetch a price of 150, i have this feeling that 2100 can only fetch for about $100? yeah. but that's better than nothing. and dear, the five bucks for you to top up for fare card, you can keep it. if you really wanna return me, i'm fine with it but you can return me million years later. if not, just consider it a small present from your jie k? *hugs*
