This City Never Sleeps
Sunday, November 14, 2004 @ Here comes the monsoon and the rain...
For the past few days, heaven has been crying and crying and crying, which is simply annoying. Well, monsoon was meant to dramatise the situation, but i see it as a monsoon: i feel good drench in the rain yesterday.

When i was at library@esplanade borrowing my usual dvd yesterday, NLB had put up the poster of Bridget Jones: Edge of Reasons. They are giving away free screening tix in a lucky draw, and to participate, borrow 8 items. Thanks to their rule, i am forced to borrow 4 books from there to took part in the contest. Guess what? I didn't know that they had plenty of hidden treasures there. I found the following book : The Concise on 2 celebrity: Sting and Phil Collins. And thanks to the 8 item-to-took-part-the-contest, i found the lyrics to some of the old songs from Sting! Now i make myself look like some geek who was into music. And should i say i borrow the book at the rite time, since Sting will be here on Jan 10 for his Sacred Love tour? A-ha, not forgetting books on the lao hiao Elton John and the bitch he offended, Madonna. And know what, i borrowed a book on this German pop band in the 70's and 80's, known as Kraftwerk. I bet most of ya had not even heard of them before, rite? Seriously, i do not know much about them, but somehow it drives me to download their song. With their music mostly surrounded technology, the gang of 4 simply looks too mechanic. And if you are thinking of getting their albums here, i can only tell u to try your luck at HMV, cos it's no longer available in major cd stores. (And holy shit! I missed my Baghban on 12.30pm!)

After getting all my stuff, head straight down to Starbucks for their X'mas blend as their coffee of the day. Somehow the stuff at Paragon do not even know whether they made X'mas blend. It taste more like Verona, their COD. Anyway, just had a lovely tea break there, with a cup of X'mas blend or Verona (who cares. Verona goes down well with my chocolate muffin), i was reading at the lyrics of Sting's old song on the book, and just then, Gramophone @Paragon was playing Zhang Yimou's extended version of his comedy, Hero, that killed Tom Cruise's Collateral on top 10 box office hit in US on Aug. And there was nothing much on the extended version, except that the attack of the Zhao kingdom was slightly longer, with some drama mama sequence in that part.

Rain doesnn't seemed to stop the moment i stepped out Paragon. The moment i stepped out HMV after going there, the rain falls and stops the moment i step into Cineleisure Orchard. Goes straight to Plaza Singapura after that.

And disaster strikes...

Rain pours like hell, and i am almost totally drenched. Just don't like this weather, cos 1) it has drenched my hair and hairstyle, 2) Sting gets wet b'cos of the rain.

The rain rite now just goes on and on and on and on.....

Somewhere around the corner in the city lies a man with some past...
