Bought myself a copy of Eurythmics: Ultimate Collection at Chinatown for $16 this afternoon, so as to ease my addiction on Annie Lennox and her partner Dave Steward's wonderful 80's pop.
The album states: Ultimate Collection. Yeah, ultimate, but not fully ultimate. As a greenhorn to Eurythmics, please pardon me for saying some of the songs are boring. (This message is applicable to Eurythmic's who love Eurythmics) Give me sometime to explore this wonderful classic duo and their 80's works.
Lennox sounds so wonderful in the songs (in fact, she was the lead and only vocal in the 80's pop duo.) that it makes me want to go for more. And what can i say about Lennox? She looks so much like Ms Tirzah (my Corp Comm tutor) in the MTV of Missionary Man. And the chorus goes: Don't mess with the missionary man, missionary man, missionary man...
Where it brought me to what i've seen today: Chinatown.
Chinese New Year songs are playing on the streets of Chinatown, and decorations hits the streets before Santa Clause fell from our rooftop. Found a stall that sells Sarawak noodles, but the shop is corwded. Just wonder if Sarawak laksa is sold there. If it does, oh yeah, i will go immediately, cos i missed the laksa so much...Yeah Tash, thank to your lovely Sarawak laksa, i am addicted to it rite now. Where are you, laksa?
(come across this song that i splaying on the player rite now, also from Ultimate: There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart). Have to comment on this song that it sound so much similar like those 70's and 80's Chinese love songs from M'sian singers. )
And as usual, head straight up to Yangtze. This time round, it has an different encounter: walked pass the massage parlour outside Yangtze, and there was this lady in fleshy clothings, where she tried to called me, but before she could catch me, i had left. She was like... : eh, wait wait Mr...
Before she could say anything, i had walked straight down. This woman, apparently, has the feeling that a handsome young man has fly off, together with the chance of serving a decent young man after handling so many ah peks & DOMs.
Please do not look for me massage ladies, if you are thinking of something else besides massage. At least Lennox's Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves works better than any massage rite now. I feel energetic and have the urge to dance rite now.
Oh yeah, wonder if anyone of ya had catch Chestnuts Ep 3: Revenge of the Shooting Stars by Hossan Leong and Jonathan Lim? Was talking about that with Yao Ming yesterday. Somehow i wanted to go for the show, but thinking of: spending $30 on 2 people yakking and cracking other people's ass as jokes...
Two days ago, was in town with Yao Ming to go for lunch, for him to get his books at Books K and free drinks at Starbucks. You know, the charity drive for Salvation Army where you get a free drink, and donate some $$$ at the same time. We go for 2 rounds for a good cause, cos at least we did donate some $$$.
However, when i was reading ST Forum's on how ugly some S'poreans are where they just want free drinks and do not want to donate a single cent, i just feel that mabey Hossan and Jonathan can crack such ppl's ass for jokes.
It was pretty disheartening to hear some S'poreans going for free drinks, yet they can give all sorts of excuses on not wanting to donate a dime, such as: i don't have spare change, i got only big notes, or even worst, IGNORE. In fact, when both of us hits the outlet at Liat Towers, there was a group of students around our age, where they called their friends to cut the queue rite in front of us to go for the free drinks. They did spare some dime though.
At least they are not those bunch of S'poreans where they called their family, peng you, neighbours, kaki, their 3rd aunt, 4th uncle, 6th grand daughter, grandpa and grandma to come down for a free cup of latte or frappes.
Did i mentioned the whole generation to come down for the free drinks?
If these people does, then they have become part of the Ultiimate Collection: Ultimate for Free Drinks.
