夏の終わり. The end of summer.

Phew. I thought I suffocated from all the cobwebs surrounding this blog. *coughs*

Anyway, I know I haven’t been blogging lately.
Maybe it’s because
a) I have lost the spirit to blog eversince being a member of the workforce
b)There isn’t really anything happening to my personal life
c)Nothing interesting happens where I stay
d)I can’t blog about politics.

Sometimes it seems that when you start working, it seems trivial to continue blogging anymore. I know how untrue that is, considering most of the bloggers out there also work. But my case is different since I blog about such trivial things like trends and music. Friends may come up to me and wonder aloud, “Shouldn’t you be spending your time earning your first million now?” Sheesh.

One year on as a working professional has made me realise how so many of us lose our groove when we start working. Evidently for some engulfed in their work, there isn’t any time to even think about leisure. I see how so many people of the workforce lead such generic lives (especially those in KL), that it’s rather pathetic. Don’t trust me? Try going to Mambo Jambo on Wednesday in Zouk. All look same.
Who can blame them right? It’s not as if they’ve got jobs where they can leave at 5.30pm and thus have ample time to pursue more pleasurable activities.

Me, I spend my evenings in front of my trusty notebook. With literally nothing to do in this rustic little town, I try and engulf myself in whatever snippets of culture I get on the internet. The internet is my best friend as they point to the right directions for must-see movies, must-listen bands and must-wear clothing items. And yet again I can hear my detractors asking if I am satisfied returning from work at 5pm. (Yes I am, thank you.)

Meanwhile, I have also been following Malaysian news from non-mainstream websites.
(Who reads “Si Bintang” anymore, right?)
I tend to keep that to the bare minimum, as the headlines alone are enough to anger me. I have to make sure I don’t get hypertension by the time I am 40.
These few days, I have been reading more of what has been posted on the net. Granted, so much is happening around the country lately that if you are not aware of it, you ARE some ignorant fool who only reads “Si Bintang”.
Most of all these news only gets me disgusted, confused and most of all disappointed. Some times I feel compelled to blog about it, but I know others would do a better job at it. Furthermore, I am not allowed to.

So, enjoy this music video! I hope you like it, I think it’s very unique
