Jimmy Eat World - Futures (2004)


Anyone heard of them before? Won't blame you if you haven't, with all that crap (McFly! omg) on the radio these days. Jimmy Eat World is quite an old band (formed in 1994) from Arizona that plays an interesting blend of pop-rock-emo. Achieving moderate commercial success a few years back with their single "The Middle" (got play on radio one), they're finally back with their fourth album which is very listenable and surprisingly radio-friendly.


Quick question to all: if you only had $20 in your wallet, would you:

a) buy a CD, or
b) have a good meal?

I posed the question to agent s., who gave me a really hard time. :@

her: if I only had $20 left, I would do neither.
me: cannot lah! Must choose one.
her: how can like that one! Cannot generalise my answer.
me: *sigh* just choose one can anot.
her: hmmm... whose CD issit?
me: errr... someone you really like?
her: who lah?!
me: *exasperated* mine lah mine! My CD!
her: *thinks* your CD must buy one meh! Not you give me ah? You give me lah, then I will spend the $20 on a meal. :)

:@!

olduvai had a better answer: "Last $20 - CD. Last $30 - good meal."


Finally, it was good to see xw and yf (I kowtow to your amazing memory! bu kui shi lao shi... :P) yesterday. Haha.

Yay it's Saturday again! :) Have a good one people.

Listening to: Matchbox Twenty - Unwell


"I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell..."

Kinda feel that way today. My hands and feet are cold and clammy, I feel feverish and just a little quite nauseous. The night was divided into fitful bouts of sleep, interspersed with attacks from a mutant strain of PPS.

Sigh, I really wanted to talk to you last night leh...

Oh well... it's Friday.

L'Arc~en~Ciel - The Fourth Avenue Cafe [single] (1996)


I was reading old entries again... and I decided to try this quiz that she took a few months back. The results... hmmm.

• agent s. is the one that you love.
• You care most about xiggy.
• eggplant is the one who knows you very well.
• alvin is your lucky star.
• "fourth avenue cafe" is the song that matches with agent s.
• "collide is the song" that tells you most about YOUR mind.
• and "angels" is the song telling you how you feel about life.

WHOA. Scary, this. How uncanny...

Now, will you tell me what the lyrics of "Fourth Avenue Cafe" mean? It sounds nice but I dunno the words...

Listening to: Lucie Silvas - Breathe In


Just some pictures from Monday!



Star Wars Lego style! Also got blue lightsabers, but the green ones are nicer.



She spent 20 bucks on a music magazine, 'cos these guys were on the cover...



At the pizza restaurant, some kid blatantly munched on his Filet-O-Fish^® meal while his father was ordering! :O

[editor's note #1: the word "fillet" in "Filet-O-Fish" has only one 'L'!
editor's note #2: suddenly feel like eating FOF D:]



I'm not a pizza fan... but it was quite nice! (y)



After she finished her four slices, I was still eating my third... :X

Listening to: Erasure - Don't Say You Love Me



Reporter's instinct: see something, just shoot it!


We were at Kinokuniya on Monday afternoon 'cos my sis had asked me to get a novel for her... when the most extraordinary real-life drama occurred.

I could not remember who the author was, so we were just browsing around the General Fiction area. Suddenly, our attention was drawn towards two men in their 20s, who at first seemed to be wrestling playfully with each other.

But it wasn't for fun! One of the guys (quite small-sized but looks like he could kick some serious a**) slammed the other one (bespectacled, skinny, mousy-looking) onto the floor! The sound of human bones and motorcycle helmets hitting the floor shocked everyone, and the normally busy store fell into a hush.

Sharon tugged at my sleeve. "I'm scared," she whispered, "but I also want to see what's happening!"

Tsk tsk.

Small guy said to noone in particular: "Get his handphone! Get his handphone!" Two other men tried to pin mousy guy down but boy was he feisty! He managed to squirm out of the scrum and bolted... but by this time the Kino security uncles guards had arrived and they managed to subdue mousy guy, who by now had been roughed up, slammed against books, tables and shelves, and generally been severely humiliated.

At this point, the security personnel said to the gathered crowd (at least 50 people): "Err, just carry on shopping guys..."

Hahaha, right.

We never found out what was mousy guy's misdemeanour though. What had the handphone have to do with it? Were any of you at Kino (Ngee Ann City store) on Saturday afternoon at about 4.30pm?
