number two hundred and ninety-five
my much-awaited four-days holiday. im loving every moment of it, because it's been such a long long time since i've slacked a guilt-free...slack time.
was reading today's newspaper about the NS special. oh by the way, NCC/SAF day is 1st july, not last friday HAHA sorry. so yeah, NS special. it's kinda nice to read about something which you'll be experiencing soon in a year and a half time. it makes you anticipate what's about to happen, but yeah, i guess that's what the government wants. navy.
and would live earth be broadcasted on channel 5? because if it is, wouldnt it be broadcasted for the whole day, since it's a 24-hr concert and stuff. and broadcasting it would hog all the shows. but i really hope that SOMEDAY, big shot bands would come to singapore. and not only taiwanese "singers" and all the mando-pop-py songs. big bands, so that for those in singapore that appreciate their music (alas, the small number) can have a chance to enjoy their music.
talking about earth, oh man the weather is a KILLER. give or take a few more years and we just MIGHT winter in singapore, since the climate is now so crappy. which would be nice, because winter is nice and chilly and cold. a nice break from the sweltering hell-of-a-weather we have here.
so i was listening to +44's songs. and i think that they're a real nice band. two of the members were from Blink 182, which explains the punk-rockiness feel of their music. but i like them because of (beside their punk-rockiness, but also) their fluency in expressing some of the most common teen feelings in somewhat poetic but not that postic prose. and some of their songs have this bittersweet tinge to them, which relates to the listeners rather well.
i guess it's the punk-rockiness. they carve their image out of it, so the songs have this feel to it. and i like the way they write with regards to a "bad-kid" point of view, rather than stick to the conservative goody two-shoes image some musicians choose use.
+44 - Cliff Diving
Hey silly girl, I think I got a thing for you.
From late nights spent driving in this stolen car.
The years we wasted living in this desert town,
Haven't broken up so far.
Hot afternoons, we'd climb onto the neighbors house.
Breathed deep and jumped into a waiting sky.
Our bare feet were framed on the horizon.
I felt the future in your eyes.
It was the promise of summer.
We'll seal it with a kiss.
This time I'll do things proper.
How did it get to this?
Dear you, tonight let's get ahead of ourselves,
Past now, I barely can remember.
Yesterday stretched on for so long.
Tomorrow feels like forever.
My God, you know how much I needed this.
These days are filled with such disaster.
Sometimes I think that life will never be the same.
Sometimes I think that's the answer.
And she said, here comes the promise of summer.
Let's seal it with a kiss.
This time I'll do things proper.
How did we get to this?
so come on, tell me.
