mood: flabberghasted!
listening to: -
if variety is the spice of life...then there are some spices i can do without.
i am nothing short of stupefied at how some people manage to twist the very fine threads of every situation, weave it into a magnificently dramatic piece of tapestry and then...and THEN, completely wrap themselves in it, whilst crying foul and proclaiming that the world has done them an injustice.
HUH?!
you'd expect people of a certain age, to realise by now, that the world, indeed, even the small one carved from their own circle of friends, does not, i repeat, DOES NOT, always revolve around them and them alone.
argh. where do these people come from???!
in the words of a very very dear friend of mine, "friends should not complicate your life. life's complicated enough as it is already."
cheers to that i say!
in contrast to the above, i am reminded of how very blessed i am with the friends i have around me. they have shown nothing but love, care, and support. last but certainly not the least, they have been the most faithful of friends, who are honest in speaking their minds, not in judgment, but in the spirit of truthfulness. and all of this - dished with a dose of humour =)
salute!
on other fronts, i've just returned from a complete pig of a holiday - the one where all you need to do is eat and sleep. the best kind, no? =) and given the amount of time spent sleeping under the sun, i've returned as a little roasted piggy myself. heehee* although now, you'd liken me to a baboon seeing that i'm itching and scratching all over from the sunburn =(
tokyo blues....

mood: very much awake...
listening to: -
double standards is an inherent flaw in human nature. but what i detest is this - blatant application of said double standards by those who are supposed to lead by example.
argh. hmpf. sigh.
on the bright side, last night's jam session @
sino|the bar upstairs dished a very, very nice surprise in the form of
tokyo blue. despite being only a three piece band (bass, keyboard & drums), the music they showcased was rich and textured, with an amalgamation of different layers of moods, sounds, rhythms and whathaveyou.
putting it in writing here, one would think that they might have been a little overambitious in trying to do so much at one time with a song. but personally, i think they did a marvellous job. each song managed to tell an entertaining story somehow.
to describe it merely as "jazzfunk" doesn't quite cut it. i think bossa-jazz-funk-emo-rock might cut it closer. in any case, j did say that it was very me. heehee.
can't seem to find info on when and where they'll be performing next. but there'll be an album launch in october '09.
can't wait! =D
a dose of sanity and a serving of reality with my shot of espresso, please?

mood: hungry. wait. does that qualify as a mood?
listening to: -
women are crazy! crazy, i tell you!
and i'm no exception.
*shrugs*
that aside...i have three weddings to attend this month, and another one plus a registration of marriage next month.
they say weddings are not cheap... i couldn't agree more!
haha :P
happy occassions are precisely that - happy occassions. but the fragility of the institution of marriage in this day and age is not only worrying, it's downright frightening.
but the saddest bit is this - that it has almost reached a point where the dissolution of a marriage due to infidelity is more readily accepted than what is to me, the incomprehensible reason of simply not loving each other enough to make it work.
and therein lies the conflict. the cynicism in assuming infidelity is almost always the cause. and the idealism in thinking that love should be enough.
and that my friends, is another case of being in a funk.
nothing like a little something
