:((

walking alone in citylink is a very sad thing to do. although i met friends along the way, they all had other day plans to go through. i'm this aimless speck of dirt flowing around air conditioned city areas...

practically every single track i listen to on HMV's free-to-listen offerings are, well, listenable and nice. i listened to jap pop, mosiac selections (rachael yamagata, her music is heavy, the dense percussion + piano + guitar, the dark chords... interesting stuff), stefanie sun's new album (quite good, interesting introductions) makes me wonder how i like certain singers more than others? what quality of theirs make them stand out more than others? i can't quite get it, either, especially because there are so many other singers out there with better voices and image, music with better arrangements and blend, etc.

today was practically an informal JC reunion for me, i see them walking all over citylink, i see them (and myself) congregated in a room, typing furiously (like what i'm doing right now). will i stand out?

now i heard this from my father's friend: 95% of RJC students actually GO OVERSEAS TO STUDY!? that is a ridiculous proportion, and i don't believe it's true. probably more like "95% went on to further their studies" (i suppose most people rather believe in the former claim: more spaces in local unis freed up for many other deserving candidates who may not be able to get the previlege of going overseas).

anyway, i want, quite badly, to post about my little walking trip from raffles place to pwc building, telok ayer street, chinatown, SMU, bras basah complex, national library, bugis village and finally (pants) sim lim square (all of it done in 3+ hours!). think i'll do it when i have more time... so long for now!
