I so love the song, "Deathbed" by Relient K! Many changes in style in this one song.. It's interesting when things aren't predictable.. This song draws me in as it progresses, and it gets more moving too.. There's a sung prayer in the middle of the song, and it's sung by Switchfoot's lead singer, Jon Foreman! What a cool coincidence.. Love Switchfoot too! Gotta check out more of Relient K's songs.. This is the kind of rock music I like =)

Btw I am sick this wkend..=( Haven't been able to go out.. Normally I'd be dying to go out coz, due to work, I only have wkends left to myself.. But I guess it's not so bad to have time to myself at home this wkend either.. There are interesting things to do on the computer and etc, even though one may be cooped at home.. But these things require time to follow up on, and one feels the need to just not stay at home on weekends when on workdays, the routine is already - go to work, then back home, then back to work again. My time is being taken away once again by something I don't exactly see the point of.. Even though work helps me to make use of my free time a little more productively, coz I'm left with so little free time nw.. But does that make my temp job worth it.. 5 days a wk, 8 hours a day, doing admin work which is irrelevant to me.. Even if it does help me make use of my free time a bit more productively, must I really have this temp job so I will act less like a bum? Are we so lost at how we should fill our lives with meaning that we can only constantly occupy ourselves with work, and that translate into the meaning of our lives? No way.. I do feel somewhat like a bum without a part-time/temp job, you know.. And part-time/temp job is all I am willing to do, nothing more.. If I didn't get a job until the time came for me to go off for my studies, I'd probably feel like a bum.. Yet it's ironic that I know a job would bore me, tire me. So what's worse? Maybe working at Page One bkstore wld actually be better than doing admin for CNA.. Working for CNA is not a bad job at all indeed.. But I recall the times when I was working for Borders bkstore, doing information counter duties.. -That- kind of work was so much better.. I talked to different people, walked all around the place.. I probably juz prefer not to get tied down to doing the same things, sticking around in the same place and same environment..
I know too much free time makes me laze around too.. But I am doubtful of how one should feel the need to just get something to do, anything. And in terms which everyone would understand, getting something to do can only mean to get some work i.e. a job. A job whereby one deals with figures and stuff just to have some system running. And one doesn't even get to play around with the figures, you just put them in the right places. I'm once again speaking in vague general terms here.. I don't know what I should think about the importance of such systems. Well for instance, I do see how everyone plays a part in making sure the right tv programmes come on at the right time of the day. But such work just doesn't make much sense to me.. Well, it's just me. I just hope I never have to get to settle for such work. At least not for a long term. If I should want to just get a job that's well paid, I think I cld only do that for not too long a period.. I've been thinking of how my dad has worked so many years, and thus is now able to afford to send me overseas for my studies.. Should I be able to do that too? How should I repay my dad, you know.. (not pay him back the money, that's not what I mean) That's what I've wondered abt.. And if I should have a family of my own, how should I be able to provide.. The fact that money should be so important just... sucks.
Well ok! I admit my mind is not exactly up for this now! I'm about done with all I have to say anyway.. Off to do other things on my com!
Oh you guys know Chris Daughtry? He came in second on American Idol.. I was 2 meters away from him the other day, coz he came down to CNA for an interview! It's pretty cool to think how easily I could get so close to him, coz I saw clips of him in his rock concerts and he would be surrounded by thousands and thousands of people, and to think that I just walked to the studio and got to see him like that. And, I didn't even truly care. Lolz. Maybe I'm gonna regret caring so little, when I hear more of his songs and actually get to like him. :P I didn't ask for his autograph, neither did I take a photo with him.. Some other people were busy doing that, that's why I stood like 2 meters away.. I just went down to the studio to see him for fun..^-^ I knew he had a powerful voice beforehand.. Heard his one song, "Over You".. So that's why I was actually interested to just go and see him! He's not as big-sized as you might imagine! Seeing that he has a bald head, is like muscular and all. And he's a rock star what, supposed to have some attitude, and hence one may think of his size in terms of WWF standards. Haha.. He's just normal.. Well yeah, that's all. Till next time.
