This City Never Sleeps
Monday, November 15, 2004 @ Sting, where are thou?
Luckily heaven did not cry for the whole day. It weeps in the lovely evening, which i really enjoyed it. I was in Marina Area today, and why am i there? Cornflakes, coffee, muffin, inspiration, Sting. Well, i am looking for some of the old albums from Sting and the Police, thanks to The Concise : Sting i am reading now. And somehow, the results were disappointing.

The book was printed in 1996, the year he released Mercury Falling, and it was so sad the songs included came from his previous album, such as Dreams of the Blue Turtles, Bring On the Night, ...Nothing likes the Sun, Ten Summoner's Tales and his previous album with Police, such as Synchronicity, Zenyatta Mondatta, Reggatta de Blanc and Ghost in the Machine. As ya know, unlike some Taiwanese boy bands who has the cheek and wants to release those that so called 'collections' where they only released 2 albums. I called them CRAP. Yes, they are trash. To people like us who are over-exposed to Western cultures, they are noting but trash. To such bands such as Police, or rock bands such as Linkin Park, they deserve to release collections minimum after 4 albums had been released. (Now i am not there to say they are whatsoever. Though i am not a fan of LP, they do have certain standards there. ) And it was such a sad story that Police and Wham! break up years ago.

Thanks to the age of these albums, they are as good as extinct in this world. So, their albums could be pretty expensive, if you had the luck to find it. Needless to say, Sting has passed the age 50 exit. So that explains the failure of their luck of looking for their album.

After having X'mas blend and chocolate muffin at Starbucks Millenium Walk, went to GV Marina and surprisingly, they are still running Clean. And the giant poster of Clean featuring Maggie Cheung and her bad hair days is still there. Nice poster, but don't think we can get it that easily.

Back to Carrefour hypermanrt and buy a box of chocolate cornflakes. Hehe, that's pretty funny. Never heard or seen a cornflakes in chocolate flavour and it contains chocolate chips. Best of all, it was made in France!

And i know, tomorrow is just another boring day ahead of me, and of course, the usual gym or swimming. Sigh...

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