post number 185. lol. burger how long has it been since we did the "185"? lmao.

i have finally filled up the entire 512mb memory space of my mp3 player, after 5 years since the begining of its use. i remember it was a gift from my parents to reward me for my psle results. 5 years ago, 512mb of space cost upwards of $200. now? i just was flipping through a sony mag, and i saw that for the same price, i could get a sony player 16gb big. thats nearly 30 times as big my current one. what a rip-off. the screen is cracked (i still remember how, on the 3rd day that i got it it was in my pocket as turned too sharply around the corner of a wall and smashed pocket-first in that very corner), it is no longer safely intact as a single entity (try dropping it on the floor), and as such i should really invest in something more hip and cool like an ipod. but for its sheer sentimental value and nothing else, i think i will resist this temptation for as long as possible, until it is truly impossible. i guess this logic could apply to other aspects of my life, idk.

i grew up listening to the chinese/cantonese cds that my parents have in the car, and found out soon enough that those weren't exactly the kind of stuff people my age (then and now) listen to. so i tried to fit in. i borrowed my first linkin park cd from mark (thanks mark), loaded it into my com, and convinced myself that hey, i like this stuff. but i gave up after a while. hell, i sort of gave up on english music altogether. i only listen to a select few singers, like groban, jackson, queen, leona. screw the rest. i prefer sammi, raymond and jj so much more.

i think chinese songs have more depth, there's a greater feel to it. it is much more emo, it induces a greater feeling in me. idk, i just connect better with it and like it more.

with my mp3 player now full of such songs, its no wonder im smiling less on the train ride home.

i had just cooked for myself a sumptuous pot of korean instant noodles. scooped it out unto the pot, unto the bowl and went off to enjoy 家好月圆庆中秋. leaving the unwashed pot there. when i returned 5 hrs later i saw a lizard in the pot. it was standing still and i didnt noe whether it was alive so i sprayed baygon at it. it didnt really move until a while later. i was wondering how to chase it out of the pot when i decided to just kill it and incidentally find out whether lizards can swim. so i filled the pot to the brim with water. before i left i saw ripples emerging from the pot as a result of the lizard's ultimately futile attempts to swim and stay alive. i left the lizard to its own devices and returned 20mins later. poured the water out and found the lizard lying on the basin in a 四脚朝天-position. and it was red
cos i was cooking korean instant noodles
lol
