Until next time

Huuuhh, if I think about it, you can turn back time if you're living in the UK for one day of the year. And how did I spend it? What sparked off as a comment on a youtube artist's cover of Demi Levato's Skyscraper became...

A hypothesis that emo songs sung by a male lead sounds way cooler if you play the song concurrently with http://www.rainymood.com/ - it's a site which plays rain sounds back to you. We tested it with upbeat songs like Maroon 5's Moves like Jagger (too hyper). We tested it with Demi Levato's original, Skyscraper which didn't have the same kick. Then we tested it with Parachute's Kiss Me Slowly (another current addiction) and if I thought I love the smooth vocals and soothing music already, I became even more enchanted. Then we tried it with Korean boybands like Big Bang's Haru Haru (another emo song, though nearly as fast-paced like Moves like Jagger) and started giggling cos it the sound of the rain fits in with the emo-ness of the songs.

Of course, we had nothing better to do (but sleep, oh glorious sleep) at 2.30 turned 1.30am (and then we went on facebook some more tsktsk). Hahahaha. I wonder though if there is something about the pitter-patter of the rain which evokes a certain pathetic fallacy. You know. It's that point in cartoons when some poor miserable cartoon character has a rain cloud form above their head. Hahaha in books this is when the protagonist is depressed and oh, how fitting, it's raining.


N, she knows my taste in songs too well :D Ok, I'm also addicted to a couple of other songs concurrently now but if I post them all here it will just take too much effort :p

And it's been a good weekend. With minimal work done (part of the criteria of a good weekend). A formal, which was spent in a slight blur but I remember giggling lots and smiling inanely. (And thanks Charms!!! And uh, LY who got cheated into thinking that Yee is visiting from Brunei for a week hahahahah). Some shopping, and looking at home decorations and pretty mugs (Although, I need something unbreakable - implausible. Or something breakable and cheap - slightly more plausible. I think I have broken one each year I've been in Cambridge -.- ) Planned to work at night after dinner but it turned into a Really Long Nap. And here we are in Sunday, and Yee is leaving for Bath in a bit.

Until next time.
