echos through an empty room

what a tiring week.
coastal hook on monday. 32k on tues to wed. games day and parade rehearsal on thurs and fri.
things have become strange and i can't help but to feel a bit confused.

just three weeks ago i was in brunei climbing up and down. doing fire movements and shivering through rainy (sleepless) nights. burning coffee powder and cooking tomato flavored maggie. climbing down dead fall and flying in choppers aha.
i wonder how things will develop from here on.

just read the manga battle angel alita...amazing sci-fi action.

shlohmo- download the free ep. wonderful detailed fresh sounds
chew lips- female vocals and synths....yes!
the xx- dark and spacey

how do i say this....

sometimes i wake up in the morning feeling like its the first time i've woken up
everything feels strange and out of place (or rather i'm out of place) i then stumble out of bed and search for something familiar, as if reminding myself is going to help me feel better....blahblahblah....then at night..i feel better and i don't want to go to sleep cause i know in the morning i'll get the same dreadful feeling.

weird huh.

whatever....i'm flying off to brunei tonight. sigh. all i can do is hope for the best and try to laugh it off whenever i can. also thanks for all the well wishes.

nightmare/trail

its not funny
nothing is strange/stranger
its like i'm barely holding out

nightmare is troubling me

listening to
young windows
french miami
both bands are about momentum and grain

such a thriller

i've been having a really packed weekend so far.
i caught the movie public enemies on sat night and flew over to butter
to spend the rest of the night. then saw this production called sing dollar
at the esplanade the following afternoon and had dinner at a relative's house.
today i met cheam paul cao for prawn mee and ice cream.. nice!

it's been great seeing my cousins from bejing as well.
we always have a good laugh!

last week was my sister's wedding! the most fun wedding eveeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr times infinity
good times, good times.


flying off next sat for some training shit. hope to have lots of fun there. heh

finally i had some time to look for new listening material. loves it.
kurt vile- catchy lo-fi pop goodness
how i became the bomb- upbeat (free downloads on their site)
bubble shield- creates a great atmosphere. in a weird way.(free download of latest album)
sholi- it sounds nice. diverse stuff
the inner banks- folktronica?

this is GOLD

worn out
frustrating on so many levels
can't i just take a break?
i don't even see this leading anywhere
at least i'm not alone

ok this is so not me

long term
short term
this sucks.

currently listening to:
we have band(check out the video of "you came out")
white lies
yeah yeah yeahs
a grave with no name

gl itch

the past 8 weeks have been quite a struggle. i don't know why but i'm still figuring out
why i feel so bad inside. it's borderline unbearable! i don't even want to think about what's gonna happen in the next year.
good thing i got this week long break.



i'm listening to thom yorke's the eraser
even though it was released like 3 years ago, it still sounds really fresh..
always ahead of the times that one. love it

other stuff i'm really into now:
phoenix's album wolfgang amadeus phoenix
yeah yeah yeahs latest album
chateau marmont
classixx's remixes
ted & francis
visual illusions and impossible shapes

COLDCOLD

passion pit- really neat experimental electro (watch this video of the reeling)
chin chin- lounge with some distortion, feels just right
the sound of arrows flying
body language


this week has been pretty tough, but somehow i survived.
i wish the weekends lasted a little longer
i wish they would stop being so mean (and annoying!)
how's everyone else doing?
also...visit my flickr page. i updated some photos
