passing that musical baton
i was never very much into athletics in school, and i hated the relay race as i always felt this deep sense of obligation (not so much to myself, but to my teammates) that i wasn't the one slowing the team down.
nevertheless, i loved this analogy back in JC that some of my friends on the track and field team made of this nerdy guy from a few science classes away. don't recall his name now, but remember him sporting nerdy specs and a pair of running shorts that never quite seemed to fit properly somehow. he was a fast runner, but ran in such a manner that, i quote, "if you stick a pencil in his ass and put a piece of paper outside, you'll get foolscap paper."
this musical baton thingy ah... was passed to me both by anna and LMD! wah, call me ms popular!

Total volume of music files on my computer
712MB - 100 songs. 7.3 hrs playtime.
paisay... i used to have 300-odd songs on my old PC back in the days of Napster and kazaa! now i just listen to CDs and don't bother loading the songs onto the 'puter first.
The last CD I bought was
Ben Folds Five: The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner
Song playing right now
Bigmouth Strikes Again - The Smiths
Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me
Endless Rain - X Japan
(memories of angsty days in art college)
Losing My Religion - REM
(my 'rebel' stage)
Elgar's Cello Concerto in Eminor, op85 - Jackie Du Pre with Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Daniel Barenboim
(makes me tear whenever i hear this. a mix of emotions well up.)
Romeo - Basement Jaxx
(my get-into-the-mood fix)
This Is The New Shit - Marilyn Manson
(best song for designing stuff)
Five people to whom I’m passing the baton:
His Reason
One Little Twit
Narcissistic Mao
Fat Fingers
adinahaes

Aww, shucks. *blushes*
You're popular alright. In fact, onelittletwit just had one sent to her too.... It's a small world out here.
maoie: i know you sure have lots of 80s, NIN or DEG songs lah. hee :)
anna: the singaporean blogosphere can get kinda small and clique-ish hor.
clique-ish, yes, couldn't agree more... but i do enjoy the close-knittedness.
