guilty pleasures revealed

i came back a day early to surprise a friend who had a gig in kl last night. i must say he did really well. it wasn't exactly my scene though. somehow i felt out of place...old...weary...misplaced...lost. i have to admit that most of the people there were probably younger than me....years and years so. i'm guessing around the 17/18 region. they had strange outfits on...i've been told that it's called 'fat' pants. strange motifs and blinding colours. a whole lot of them had the same haircuts...wore the same outfits...danced the same way. if i wasn't aware...i'd think that i was in the midst of a cult. a cult that worships hard house/trance/whatever they call it nowadays. but that didn't stop me from showing my support for a friend :) those people probably thought i was lost....that i'm foreign and i walked into the wrong club on the wrong night. wait till they find out that i could be their teacher :P

anyway...i left the gig early to rejoin my friends in the spirit of chinese new year. it's not so much the gambling that lures me...it's the company of friends. today is supposed to mark the official end to chinese new year. i have a feeling this year will be different. previously...chinese new year ran for 3 months. it usually started during hari raya and would extend a month or so past chap goh meh. but things have changed...everyone has started working...priorities have changed. so this year...chinese new year ends as it should. with not much losses...with the company of friends and family...lotsa smiles...lotsa love...lotsa spirit...lotsa celebrations :)

anyway...as the title so clearly states...here goes...

- backstreet boys - never gone album
- mariah carey
- mahjong
- lychees and durians
- haagen dazz vanilla
- queer as folk

if i think of anymore i'll add them
