I Came, I Saw, iPod.

A start to a beautiful day...


My room still has the best view, i reckon...

This is what i wake up to every morning..the 5.40 am sunrise.

it turned ugly at around 10.30 am though...i got a 2/5 score for my bio quiz. WTF??? how did that happen? damn...need to work harder.

anyways, i came back home, opened the newspaper and guess what i found??

Ta-daa!!


Wah Lau!! MEGA SALE!! *hyperventilating*

WAH LAU EH!! can you imagine??..the first bit of news i see published in the Sydney Morning Herald is an advertisement telling good Sydney-siders about the Megasale in Malaysia. talk about shopping being mass appeal. sigh...i miss the megasale.

oh yes...and i bought myself yet another Jack Johnson album at AUD10..isn't that amazing?? i can't imagine how the cd shops like HMV and Virgin can survive with such 10 dollar cd shops operating in the city. and no, it's not pirated..cos it can be played on my uncle's DVD player, which is ultra-sensitive and can detect and pirated cd miles away. i'm so happy..!!and i finally managed to actually read the lyrics to the song Taylor. all this while i thought it was a happy song..but after reading the lyrics, i realised that it's actually quite sad. the best part of Jack Johnson is his lyrics...they are just too beautiful and HAS meaning..unlike some other songs that i know of...

Taylor

Taylor was a good girl
never one to be late
complain express ideas in her brain
Workin on the night shift
passin out the tickets
you're gonna have to pay her
if you want to park here.
Well mommy's little dancer's
quite a little secret
workin on the streets now
never gonna keep it.
It's quite an imposition
And now she's only wishin'
That she would have listened
To the words they said.
Poor Taylor.
Well she just wonders around
uneffected by
the winter winds, yeah
and she'll pretend that
well she's somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2,000 miles from here.
Peter Patrick pitter patters on the window
And Sunny's silhouette won't let him in
and poor old Pete's got nothin 'cause he's been fallin'
but somehow Sunny knows just where he's been
He thinks that singin' on a Sunday's gunna save his soul
but now that Saturday's gone
Well somehow he thinks that he's on his way
but I can see, that his break lights are on.
And he just wonders around
uneffected by
the winter winds, yeah
and he'll pretend that
well he's somewhere else
so far and clear
about 2,000 miles from here.
She's such a tough enchilada
filled up with nada
givin' what she got to give to get dollar bills
she used to be a limber chick
time's a been tickin'
now she's finger lickin to the man
with the money in his pockets
flyin in his rocket
only stoppin by on his way to a better world
if Taylor finds a better world
Taylor's gunna run away.
it's actually really sad..now that i read it again..about this girl who has to work the streets to earn a living...

ah well...have you noticed how everyone these days seem to own an iPod? be it an iPod, or an iPod mini, or an iShuffle... i don't know about Malaysia, but almost everyone in Sydney owns an iPod..maybe even 2. i've seen school kids who look barely 15 carrying one..i've seen almost everyone in uni have one plugged into their pockets.. i've even seen OLD PEOPLE using iPods.. is it just a coincidence or am i really that outdated??

is it the new chic thing to be seen with? before this, it was the teeny tiny dogs that you can fit into handbags..is the iPod the new best thing now? i say...it's becoming ridiculous..

"oh yea..like..i can fit in ALL my 100 cds into my iPod...and, like, i can even fit in all my digital pictures too...like, how KEWL is that?? .. like, i soooo need 10000 songs right now.."

this is the second time i'm actually blogging about a bloody iPod...it must mean something..
