Tuesday was a wonderful day, if all just because of one incident. What I didn't tell you on Monday's post was that I saw Blue in the study room again. I was inside already reading a paper, and then she walked in. I looked up, saw her, she smiled, I froze and then quickly looked down. Man did I feel bad. Musta been the 10th time I didn't return the smile. Anyway. Tuesday. Bunch of the guys decided to go Jurong Point to catch the 2.25pm Blades of Glory show. So I took the LRT at like 1.45 to Zhi Wei's stop. And then took an LRT back in the direction I came on cause it was the faster route. The door opened, and in walked blue! This time I made sure I smiled first. Its not so much that fact that the girl's pretty and all. It was more about getting past the whole shyness barrier. Well I gave a smile and got one in return. It really did feel good. And when she left the LRT, I gave a little wave and she gave one back :D

Ok that sounded really juvenile. Grow up. I know. But it is a big deal for me to smile at people I don't know. Hence the reason why some people say I do look cold at times. Well Blades of Glory was an absolute hoot. I wanted senseless slapstick humor and that's what I got. In spades.

Well Thursday was a break from the boredom that I've been experiencing. Went to JB, early in the morning. There was an interesting incident, but ask me on MSN instead, as I fear that the Malaysian goverment has this post monitored! *shiftily looks around* Went there mainly to send the car for servicing. Oh yeah the family watched Shrek the 3rd at a cinema there too. It was....ok la. The movie I mean. I slept for 10 mins or so, probably because I was just damn tired from all the walking around. I woke up when I heard Damien Rice's 9 crimes. Pissed really. To have it used in a comedy. An animated one at that. And of course there's the thing that now the bazzillion peeps who watch the show are probably gonna know about the song. Its selfish I know, but Damien Rice is like one of my 'secret-personal-bands' that 'belongs' to me. Sure everyone knows his 'Blower's Daughter' but how many people actually listened to the rest of his CD? Argh now the whole world knows him. Great. Another personal band gone global.

I think I'm starting to hate the Shrek franchise. The previous movie did the same thing to me. They used the Counting Crows for their song 'Accidently in Love'. By far the worst song Counting Crows ever came up with. Now everyone only knows Accidently in Love. What about their classics like Round Here or Colorblind!?! Argh!! Hate the feeling when people dismiss my favourite bands based on ONE commercialised single that was featured in a movie.

Btw look what I found on Youtube! :



Her voice is amazing, and the song's pretty good. Haha.

~Till the next post.


Music Trivia: I normally prefer the original versions of songs over covers, but there are two exceptions. One's Ryan Adam's version of Wonderwall, and the other's Eva Cassidy's cover of Fields of Gold. I can't think of enough superlatives to describe her version. Her voice, the subtle, gentle guitar.. its all just works. RIP Eva, we'll miss you.
