djkr and friends take on Life

i was playing card games during my chinese new year break where something peculiar happened. i kept on seeing the number 2 in my cards. during tai dee, during blackjack… sort of a weird occurrence of sorts. imagine during blackjack, holding 19 on hand, and just randomly taking the next card… it results in a two? it happened a few times too. maybe its a sign? or just a random event.

on monday night, siyuan and i went to the good vibrations festival held at Fort Canning Park. it was basically a music festival and the headline acts that night were the Beastie Boys and DJ Dan. but i enjoyed Jurassic Five more, who played just before the Beastie Boys more… with their excellent vocals and synergy. but the Beastie Boys who are in their 40s by now, were jumping up and down the stage like they were 20. and their infectious energy spread to the crowd, who tried…. running onto the stage, climbing up scaffoldings, being crowd-surfed… (one lady trampled on my head)

dreaded going back to office on wednesday. mainly because it was sian. but hey its friday again. and my electronic music production course starts tomorrow!

today, i made a contribution to local news. it might have been a small, passable instant in a 1/2 hour programme, however, it has an impact on the other folks who might have gotten that 30 second coverage on television. now, do i truly believe, not everything you read may be true. no need to start hiding from your TVs as of yet, just…. be wary.

the hunger to get a even a bit of air time… it is madness. a rabid unsatisfied thirst for attention and to stand out. and i shaped it today.

i feel like i might have changed the world of a few people today even.

it must be me watching heroes. now since we are on that point, heroes is an excellent programme and i love the stories are being woven together into a credible tale. i had my doubts at the beginning but it is great. i want more!

Amelia, my sister, flew to melbourne last monday to take up a course in University of Melbourne. i wish her the best of luck there and hope she studies hard.

had a very awkward time on friday with my father’s taiwanese friends at a dinner. i hardly spoke to their (mandarin speaking) children; make that never. i just went and collected red packets.

i have always looked forward to reunion dinner though. my grandmother’s cooking is not world class, but i love her dishes and i love her and for all the things she has done for my father and my uncles and aunt and of course, for us, her grandchildren.

happy chinese new year people.

hail the asean champions.
