where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

I'm rather hooked onto big band these days. And it prolly helps that I'm a fan of jazz anyway.

Big Band brings me back to the era of the days gone by, the glorious 20s and war years (though big band lasted till as late as the 60s). And though none of us lived through these bygone times, big band hauls us in one sweep and fudges us snuggly into the former age. The power of music. And media.

Anyway, what's so enthralling about big band is essentially the lyrics.
They paint poetic and pretty pictures of love, yet being so witty at the same time.

I'm listening to I wanna be around by Tony Bennett now.
And you think I wanna be around sounds like another lovey dovey song right?
The lyrics are WICKED and I'm loving it.

I wanna be around, to pick up the pieces -
When somebody breaks your heart -
Somebody twice as smart as I -
A somebody who would swear to be true,
like you used to do with me -
Who'll leave you to learn,
that misery loves company -
Wait and see.

I mean I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits -
Let's see if that puzzle really fits, so fine -
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
as I sit there applauding from a front row seat -
When somebody breaks your heart just like you
broke mine.

(waits for applause) then...

That's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet,
as I sit there applauding from a front row seat -
Somebody breaks your heart,
Yes, Like you broke mine -
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke
mine -
Oh yeah.
