Happy Racial Harmony Day peeps of Singapore!
we're unique, okay. i think we're the only country so far (that i know of) that actually has such a celebration. so peace to the world, and no to war!
anyway, i finally found another leo ku aka gu ji ji fan in jesslyn cheah. actually, i found two, but the other one's not counted cos we don't exactly know each other. anw,we were talking after school today and we were like discussing about everything under the sun, and that's when i found out that she likes leo ku too. to be honest, 99.99% of the time i have no inkling what he's singing - whether it's in cantonese or mandarin - because i understand neither. but after i heard his voice on his songs and read the translations, i really like them. my fave song from him is Sleeping Beauty. self-explanatory why, i think, cos it's my favourite fairy tale. but i think some of his best works would be his medleys - he's one of those few singers who can sing effortlessly beautiful medleys.
sometimes i just find it weird that most people tend not to share the same music interests as me. so does that make me unique? ooh yeah! but seriously, how many people that i know actually likes songs by singers like brandy, mariah carey and leo ku? everytime i gush about MC, i always get that 'look' as if i'm inspired by MC. actually, i am. but in a more general sense. and those sort of sense like being able to run on heels. anyway, brandy has a super nice voice! i always keep on imagining her dueting with the likes of ashanti. and leo ku? i want all his medleys and nice songs.
and surprisingly, while everyone is all hee and haa about that Umbrella person aka Rihanna, she has never made it to my fave list. honestly. she scores high on the other list, though.
which brings me to another topic. nowadays i can't find people to talk to. i mean, sure, we can talk about things on the surface like music, weather, whether the chimpanzees at Mandai are friendly or cute enough. but someone for me to really sit down and talk to? i might have resort to Spongebob's Bubble Buddy. who isn't capable of going to the loo on it's own. but who cares right? he's Bubble Buddy!
i have come up with a philosophy about people and emotions:
it's like cheap 'luxury' sofa: italian leather on the outside, lousy cotton on the inside.
you spray water from outside, it doesn't seem to get wet.
but do we really know what happens to the cotton inside?
is it soaked, moistened or managed to remain dry?
