a reversion to chinese pop

somehow.. the flu bug hit me today.. which was pretty much a bug-geration.. cos i had to keep heading to the toilet to get more toilet paper to stuff my nose up with... and yeah, by the end of the day, I ended up looking like rudolf the red-nosed reindeer... pooh...

aniwez.. went on a semi shopping spree and bought 2 new chinese albums..

(i'm starting to re-appreciate the lovey-dovey ballads of the chinese pop world with the influx of all these crappy nonsensical english rock-pop music such as boulevard of broken dreams, which just elicits a huh? from me...dunno lah... guess it is a reversion of music tastes to the more ballad-ish type... cos i remember vividly myself saying just a year ago that chinese music was a decade slower than english pop... guess it is time for me to swallow my own words.. cos hey! i happen to like music a decade ago maybe... -_-)

so guess what i bought? well, wang lee hom and F.I.R.'s new albums... listening to them now and well.. happy with what i bought for now =).. realised for one that music producers have given up trying to battle those music pirates but instead, are rechannelling their energy and efforts from these never-ending and quite pointless lawsuits to the packaging of the cds....

cos WOW.. the cd packaging is darn kewl.. the cds are really pretty.. esp F.I.R.'s VCD... and both albums look darn sleek and well produced... so yeah.. good work man! maybe THAT is the answer to those pirates - originality = more style and class.. hehe

*********************
and well.. went around window shopping, saw some nice esprit t-shirts, shirts and pants but the shirts made me look fat (sigh) and the shirt, though those type that i wanna buy, (ie, collar and end of sleeves of a diff colour) but had a horrid motif printed on the sleeve.. so.. nope! i'll keep searching....

then went to F-men and found the T-shirt but felt that the material was slightly flimsy and a little overpriced ($23.00), so decide to go for a better market survey first...

*********************
aniwez, went to meet Weide for lunch after that (yeah... at 3.30pm -_-) and just talk talk, walk walk a bit after that.. and hey.. we decided to go together for a Europe backpack travel after we ORD.. but well.. see what happens then.. though I'm determined to go for such a trip lah...

and it was pretty fun lah, (besides my bloody sniffing and sneezing) talk about a lot of things.. pretty intellectual stuff (haha).. had fun =)

i'm STILL sniffing as i write this and that is a great turn-off.. so i shall stop..
