Got on the bus home yesterday. A Chinese lady on my right was smiling, flipping through some photos of some rock concert. Being the Malaysian busybody, I looked towards my right, pretending not to stare too obviously. I could make out some guitars, but they looked blonde. I couldn’t figure out who they were, as rock groups don’t drop by Malaysia often (Linkin Park<\/b> would be surprising.) I took out the ROTTW rock magazine I just bought at a newsstand, on purpose.<\/p>\n
Lady<\/b>: (In Chinese) Do you want to see it?
\nMe<\/b>: Er, who is it?
\nLady<\/b>: Beyond. (Beyond is a Hong Kong rock band.)
\nMe<\/b>: Er, no thanks. (I knew who they were but I’ve never heard their stuff.)<\/p>\n
I continued reading my magazine. Then somebody just had to call, asking about a local underground band. (I didn’t intend to rub it in that<\/b> much!) I didn’t even know she had my number.<\/p>\n
To add to that, I just had to be in a advice-dispensing conversation with a concerned friend of a friend of a friend. Dangit, don’t worry about the exam next year during the school holidays. It’s just irritating. “But… but… Exams are in nine months!<\/i>” Don’t gimme that line. To me, it brings the same urgency as “Exams are in one month.<\/i>” Which is practically no urgency to me. So I’m a lazy slacker, but at least I don’t use that line to avoid going out, or at least, going online.<\/p>\n
Oh yes, I went through my shirts today. I didn’t know I had so many free black T-shirts. Alas, the sun pours her love on me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
