315. true colors of singaporean/color blind westerners to our culture

today, after that boring physics lesson, went with ky, cca and shawn to watch sherlock holmes, which was not bad and i shan't elaborate further because a nicer show would be a recap of 女王本色.

being lunch time, the maitipok (according to cca and ky) would be crowded with people. so the ladies (not really aunties), put their tissue packets on the table to hog it. and it just lacks the word "reserve" preented on it. so a western couple, not knowing out vulture culture, pushed the tissue packet aside and started to eat there. one of the ladies came back and saw that their seats were grabbed, but being pregnant, she can't bitch her way like in the show or she would most likely have a miscarriage, so she had no choice but to embarassingly (hopefully so) pick up her tissue packet and walk away to find another table, which wasnt difficult for her. i was so looking forward to a quarrel, but then it just wouldn't happen.

so going off track, being a slow day, i had to listen to a soft and short album, which pete yorn & scarlett johansson's break up fits perfectly.

Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson – Break Up:
25.5/9 = 2.83

this album is so slow and sort of boring and below average. in the first track "relator", scarlett johansson had to summon her inner amy winehouse and sing a like ho from a winehouse, although im not quite sure of the relation between relator and singing like a bad role model. the other tracks just sounded the same so i sort of went into hibernation mode in the middle, then the album starts to lose steam in the last 2 songs. the plus point of this album is it's length of less than 30 min, so if i had to be tortured, i wouldn't fall asleep and wait for it to end.

Labels: album
