AM


Please scrape my list in the previous post because I cannot believe I forgot to include Arctic Monkeys' AM. This might just be their sexiest and best album so far.


Song starts at 0:23 and I can't find any other live versions but god, this song is so bloody sensual I can't even deal. Just watch it.

STARTED

Stuff that have been playing on my ipod on repeat recently.

1. Kendrick Lamar, good kid, m.A.A.d city. (It annoys me to no end that this is the only album in my itunes that does not begin with the proper letter casing. Good kid/Good Kid/ugh nothing looks right because I will always know how it was originally spelt.)
2. Kathy Griffin's autobiography audiobook. (Absolutely awesome by the way. In the beginning she was still reading the book but I think she gave up on that about 1 hour in. It just sounds like a funny friend hanging out with you. In your ears. Pretty cool.)
3. RHCP, Californication and Stadium Arcadium.
4. Selected songs from Sungha Jung, who on his wiki page, is described as a "South Korean acoustic fingerstyle guitarist"  (Is there any other style that I don't know about? Toes perhaps? Haha, but he is really impressive though. Really impressive.)

Pretty random.

So school started for me today! Which was nice, only that I didn't expect to embarrass myself as quickly as lunchtime.

I ordered lunch for me and Hui, which totaled up to $7.40. She gave me her share in the exact amount with a bunch of coins, and I pulled out two $2 notes. Okay I don't really know how to continue describing the situation but just know that I handed over all the cash I had in my hands to the stall vendor. He looked at what I gave him and gave me a weird look.

Him: Hahaha, 你多给了很多leh! 我没有这样 gian png!
Me: Ha...ha...ah...是吗?(I had no idea why he was saying that at this point)
Him: 你看!这个这个...那个那个... (Still no idea)
Me: Err...ya okay!

Hui: *noticed my face* You still don't understand right.
Me: Ya. I tried calculating how all the cash in my head but I couldn't work it out fast enough so when he called me I panicked and just passed over everything.

Guy in front of me: Hahahahahaha *shoulders moving up and down included*

-.- Nice.

This picture. I wonder if there are others who get as excited as me over this.

TRACKS

There is a scene in Brokeback Mountain, just before the famous "I wish I knew how to quit you" line, where Jack goes off on Ennis and tells him how emotionally overwhelming he is, how he has no idea how bad it gets with all the time they spend apart, how difficult is it missing him so much.

1. Heart Shaped Box, Nirvana

 

Very relatable. Even more so when the damn horoscope sign is exactly the same.


2. Run Right Back, The Black Keys

 

3. Do I Wanna Know, Arctic Monkeys

 

Baby we both know
That the nights were mainly made for saying
Things that you can't say tomorrow day

Side note, this feels very 16 years old so I'm going to blame the less than optimal brain performance that comes with being awake at 4am.

ID

So I called the police.

It was nothing serious, just the usual loud quarreling from the couple that lives opposite my block at 4 in the morning because they have very little consideration for others. They usually have a go at it a couple of times a year, so it becomes a waiting game amongst the awaken to see whose turn it is to call the police now. 

After 30 minutes of screaming and 5 death threats later, I called.

Me: I would like to report a case of domestic...disturbance? Ya disturbance. They have been going at it for 30 minutes already.
Police: Okay I will send my officers over soon. Can I have your name please?
Me: Mei Shan.
Police: And your number?
Me: You don't have caller ID?
Police: Erm yes we have caller ID. I just need to confirm.

Mum: Did you just ask the police if they have caller ID?

I was very tired. Also, school's starting soon! Exciting...ly...mixed. Hmmm.
