Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v3d6SFcDys

Yeahhhh this is what I'm listening to right now, this friggin awesome video on youtube can also be found at viral video chart website, thanks to amadZ for showing this to me.. tq tq!!

an instrumental piece comprising of 3 instruments played live by 2 people and other pre-recorded instruments (at least it sounded like that, unless ada hantu tgh main) covering taylor swift's love story (which i really2 despise) medley with coldplay's viva la vida (which i really2 like).

now i am forced to like taylor swift's love story, dammit!

just go checkout jon schmidt ok?

guys who knows how to play the piano mmg hot lah, im not referring to physical attributes here, although of course its a plus, hehe. the first time i realized this was during Muse's concert i went in 2006 (or was it 2007?), when matt bellamy played the piano he was so into it and passionate and singing at the same time omg its a whole different experience/sensation watching something so beautiful live. i think i would die, go to heaven and come back if i get to see chris martin in action omg why laaa i found out about coldplay's con in singapore only after the tickets are sold out? f hell.. the concert review i read in star two paper by michael cheang was like the most awesome piece of article i've ever read about a concert. kudos to the writer coz he knows his stuff (kalau tak pun he researched well), comparing it to coldplay's previous con also in singapore. the way he described the atmosphere in sistic with the fans all hyped up and singing along and standing and shouting the woaaaaa wooooo calling back coldplay for an encore... going through the night's set list and describing each song's performance and the reactions of the con-goers... as corny as this may sound, i felt like i was virtually there, i read the article the again this time armed with my ipod and listening to the songs in the same order as the set list and imagined the situation in sistic through his writing.. and after that, i went through it again with michael cheangs words already engraved in my head.. and again... and again... aku pun tak tau laa nak describe camne lagi.. coldplay's latest album, vivalavidaordeathandallhisfriends (VLVODAAHF for short, hahahahaha) is one of the best albums i've ever heard in a such a long time. of course there's duffy's rockferry and britney's circus and alicia key's as i am and incubus' light grenandes are some of the few albums yg awesome yg aku suka gila that have been released throughout the past 3 years or so . but VLVODAAHF is in a league of its own. whenever i listen to it, its like im transported to a place out of this world where there's no boundaries, you strive, you fall, you fight again, its okay everything will be fine, melancholy at times, yes you can wallow in your sadness and selfpity for a while but then you come back and try again..try harder.. and if you persevere you'll succeed in the end and the feeling is fucking grand and absolute and of extra terrestrial proportions and you are the king no one else can bring you down or say otherwise. did that make sense to you? even the arrangement of the songs in the album is done in such a way that it kinda flows like its telling you a story, and the above is my interpretation of the album, it could be different to others. it could also mean nothing to others. either way, to me, they rule the world alright.

actually ive been wanting to talk about this album for quite a while. but it has always slipped my mind. and not to mention i have to be in the right mood and state of mind to talk about something like this.. i think that the feelings and thoughts invoked by music are strongest when triggered by something that is equally strong and meaningful to that person, usually intense emotions, but in this case, this wonderful instrumental piece of music! coincedentally covering a coldplay song pulak tuh! so it was a correct decision for me to wait for the right moment. delayed gratification in play, yet again.

im no fan of quotations or poems and such, but here are two (dapat from Muna, yeah Moon u know where from) that i can really relate to and straightforward enough for me to understand coz im a bimbo at deciphering hidden meanings.

Words make you think a thought
Music makes you feel a feeling
A song makes you feel a thought

Music expresses that which can not be said
and on which it is impossible to be silent

on a different note, i'm now addicted to bags. the ones that looks sew-able lah. i bought one bag on impulse from one of the small stalls at the jejantas from depan low yat to berjaya megamall tuh just coz it looks like something i can sew hahaha. just found out about a line called flowerdrum bags which i found out through fb coz a friend invited me to an event.. the designs are awesome and hip and cool and i love it. i'm starting to have some ideas here and there and im itching to sew but i'd have to buy the kain first and that costs money... are there no hobbies that costs zero dollars????? ive been on a spending spree for like a month already its crazy.

uh oh i just saw the owner of this laptop bawak masuk drums for guitar heroooooooooooooooooooo
he asked me to buy before but its too expensive and i dont play ps3..
hmm hmmm now i just might i just hope its still around after i come back from my trips.
(in case dia pinjam from member maybe. who knows? gotta ask gotta ask gotta ask)
