Memories of this weekend in Singapore.
Though most people's favourite Alan Parsons Project song is often "Eye in the Sky" (at least for those of you old enough to know Alan Parsons Project), I had a surprise revelation when my brother disclosed that his favourite Alan Parsons Project song is actually "Don't Answer Me", which is my favourite too. And the reason is that both of us recall watching the animation music video of that song and being wow'd by it.
Chuan revealed that he used to read Chinese novels in traditional characters, and not only that, he read the romantic Qingyao novels as well as the martial art variety. But since he also listens to drum & bass and death metal at the same time, nothing about him should amaze me anymore.
My best friend had a hangover after drinks on Friday while I had mine after drinks on Saturday. I actually skipped the singing-while-high bit and dived straight into chanting "Throwing up is not an option" while feeling nauseous. Maybe it's cos I've not been sleeping much since I flew home, and I exceeded my usual drink quota too.
Watched Tsai Ming Liang's "Wayward Cloud" (unfortunately the girls sitting beside me kept giggling nervously at the porn scenes), and will be watching "15" too, thanks to Dave's generosity in giving up his seat to me. :)
What I don't understand about food in Singapore and Hong Kong. Why do we have Hong Kong noodles here when there's no such thing in Hong Kong, and why do they have Singapore fried noodles when there's no such thing here? Anyway, I've become the food ambassador for both countries, ie. I bought Hong Kong mooncakes home and will be bringing Singapore mooncakes over.
Sufjan Stevens had an album entitled "Enjoy Your Rabbit" where nearly every track is named after an animal in the Chinese Zodiac ("Year of the Ox" etc). There were 2 exceptions though: "Year of the Asthmatic Cat" (lol!) and "Year of our Lord". I'm growing to like this quirky musician enormously.
I'm also bringing my mini speakers over to Hong Kong so I can hook them up to my iPod and have a basic sound system. I guess I'm lucky cos I don't have moods which music can't fix.
Just a little bit more before I go back to Hong Kong, but wherever I am, I'm glad to be.
