Bits #2

Many things are going on with my personal life right now, and it'd probably be awhile before I blog again.

Anyway, before the long leave, I'll update you guys with the things I've done up till now since I came back to KL:

- I went to 'Urbanscapes 2009' which was held in KLPAC last month. I had an awkward tan after being exposed under the sun for more than 5 hours, but it(the event) was great!

- Went on a family trip last weekend to Pahang for some durian hunting since it's the durian season now. The 'RM1.00 sebiji(each)' or 'RM10 - All You Can Eat' are nowhere near those durians from my cousin's dusun(orchard)!

- Sales is bad! After refraining myself from entering shops whenever I go to the malls for almost a month, I finally lost it and went frenzy over discounted items. Spent about RM500 in two days. The amount might not be big for many for you but for a student like me who's on summer break(which translates no monthly allowance since 'I'm back home and food and lodging is being taken care of', so 'outings with friends and shopping' are considered as 'extra' and they 'should be on no one else other than myself'), I really felt the pain. Then again, I'm just doing my part as a concerned rakyat to help push the economy, so why not?

There has been this song I've listening on the radio for the past few days and it's GOOD. Now, I don't usually listen to the Chinese/Mandarin radio stations but since my family only listens to these stations, there's nothing I can do but to listen too(especially when I was stuck to be with them these few days, but it's not like I'm complaining). So, there's this new song by Amy Wong(王明丽) and it's really, really great. It's been quite awhile since I last heard any good Chinese/Mandarin music produced in BolehLand.



Not like it's a bad thing, but do you guys realise that most(if not all) Chinese/Mandarin songs revolve around love? And that they're usually sad? This is why I rarely listen to Mandarin songs. I'd rather sing along to random songs like Mariah Carey's 'Obsessed' than listening to sad Mandarin songs and my mood ends up hitting rock bottom.

But, if it's Malaysian-made, and it's really good, I don't mind being emo for a week or two.
