The Somnambulist

Hey bitches! Here I am again to talk about music. I guess that's the only thing that is keeping me sane. Haven't been really sleeping well for days now. That comes as a suprise because people who knows me know that I am all about the slumber. There's really nothing in my mind because I manage to seperates work from it and it's like whatever to work these days anyway. I still love it but like all relationships, it's the down period.

I am not unhappy nor am I ecstatic about things which is why I don't understand why it is so hard to fall asleep. It feels nothing. I catch myself lingering about my room, looking at my books and wanting to read something but there's none. At least none that caught my attention. Despite all that though, I have the cheek to try to be merry and convince others to be happy and all that jazz and rap. Oh well, back to the music.

1. Samantha James - Rise
This was a huge huge hit when it was featured in one of the OM compilation called OM Lounge 10. As some might know by now, I am a huge fan of OM records - they are the best and understated factory of good quality house and ambient music. Rise was re-released again and hit the top spot on Billboard Dance chart and I demand that everyone listen to it. It's beyond uplifting! She released a second track called Angel Love, not as good but still ok. Can't wait to hear the debut album in July. Watch this space

2. John Beltran - It Was All Beautiful
Like OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG. Thats all I need to describe this song. The last track from OM Chilled (latest edition) and one listen I was hooked. It's been playing on repeat. I repeat - REPEAT non stop on my way to work and back and now at work. Simple, beautiful (aptly titled) and I never knew the human sound that goes ahhhh can be so beautiful. If you need to download ONE song, this is the one. HIGHLY recommended!

Of late, I have been home consistently early (my definition of early is different very lar) and one of the things that I've noticed on TV was the return of shows from the past. I suppose kids/cikus these days might not know but those who are somewhat old enough in the 90s will know this - back in the day we don't even have more than 5 TV channels and there was no Internet nor iPhone or anything else. Any form of entertainment on TV - Chinese language would either came from Hong Kong (in VHS tape, TV series) or locally produced. Back then HVD was the giant production house who produced tons of Chinese and Malay TV series. Looking back, the quality aint that bad - just that I noticed guys back then like to wear vest, oversized clothing, some even have suspenders, funny glasses and floppy hair. But of course the good times (and bad fashion) has to end, HVD went kaput during 1997's recession and all the actors lost their job. Most of them either tried their luck overseas or wen...

Oh dear, stupid Malaysian at work again!

I am quite appalled with the recent happenings in this fourth world, up the tree country that I am calling home. At the risk of making my blog absolutely unfabulous (it should be plastered with my latest sexcapade or glamourous rendezvous) and all too political and very society (it should be on high society, thats what), I really have to say this - what the fuck is wrong with people we hire and elect here in the country? They are basically saying that rape is justified because she is born a woman or someone should be killed just because of his or her skin color. These people doesn't have a wife, mother, daughter, sister or friend? Maybe an ape gave birth to them and they marry a rock as wife. What nonsense!! Oh god, will someone either transport me out from here or slap some sense into those idiots? How much more longer do we, Malaysian with just a little bit more brain and heart than those imbeciles have to live with these STUPID statements and actions? Kau meng loh!!!! Despite ...

I am used to doing things by myself

So what is it about people that they need to be in a group and do things "together-gether". Is it the fear of being labelled as an outcast or unwanted or even unpopular? Ever since we were a kid, even back in the days of being in a school the need to belong is so strong. Doesn't matter if you are in the group of weirdos or uncool kids, you are alright as long as you are in a group. I never had much trouble being in a group or whatever till high school that I found that people are more into their cliques than ever and when I lost mine (they are all older and graduated earlier)I can remember feeling rather lost as well. As though my support system has gone and I have no where to stand. It feels almost like an leper. Don't get me wrong, I know people and I talk to them but I guess somehow I was never close to anymore. But that's fine with me cause I am never the type that hangs out with anyone or do anything after school other than rushing back to sleep (cause the ni...
