where to live..

i am currently house hunting for a quaint little place all of my own but dunno whats the best place for me.I want a place thats near to my office and near a shopping mall ( this is because the house value will soar if it is near one) There is this great Condo called Pelangi Sentral near Curve which is within my budget range but have to wait till 2009 to move in.Too long to wait.. my other choice will be Pelangi 2 Damansara near OU but i cant afford it yet.have to start saving now until mid 08.the bad thing about both if this places is that the traffic is horrendous at peak hours. but i cant think of any place else to live. PJ too crowded, Bangsar too expensive, Pantai area ( panorama hill park etc ) have even bigger traffic problems, Hartamas too far haih dont like far away places cuz dont want to commute by car (office parking always full)

World music putumayo funk soul and all that jazz

my latest fad
listening to world music especially putumayo present.. series
its really awesome. sounds you will never hear before,eclectic beats , languages you never know exists.beats listening to pop haha
i especially like the south american sound all the samba and the drums with a modern touch of synthesizer. all make very good music.
while i was listening to putumayo i also come across lounge funk and soul. harmony between guitars and piano and brass wow listening it full volume at home feels like ur in a lounge club.
and all that jazz...
seriously why do people felt put off by jazz music?i think its cool and not for old people like most people think.they should really try and listen to jazz fusion and nu jazz. i dont have my fav artist yet since i only been listening to compilation albums but honestly its good
traditional old school jazz is also good.recommend al jarreau george benson and incognito
i especially like local jazz talents such as atilia noryn aziz double take (although they are phillipines) indonesia's ecoutez, japan's tokyo ska paradise, korean's classiquai

i might put my fav songs in here later

Season 2

After months of delays and laziness (blame it on work hahaha) i now officially announce the 2nd season of my blog

still dunno what to write...hmmm...hmm..
hence the writer's block eh
lame...

Describing my everyday life is a bore.my day is typically the same
1.in front of my pc at work (workday)
2.in front of my pc at home (offday)

Haa the life..so full of surprises and excitement.seriously i am out of breath.or is that my blood pressure hahaaha now thats exciting

but last saturday was great...pure fun and relaxation
for details check other peoples blog ya hahaha
we should that again

oh and i bought an ipod.an ipod touch i might add.
crikey its wicked..spent hours just fiddling with the screen
spent hours searching for album art in the net (which if you dont have in your ipod touch is a bummer.it aint gonna be as pretty)
spent hours converting video to ipod format just to fit it in.heck dont know why i even bother the screen is small.at least its widescreen haha
the good thing about ipod touch is..
1)it keep my hands clean.
you can see the smudges if you have dirty fingers so 5 points for making me clean up haha
2)it keeps me organize
what other thing makes you painstakingly organize all the songs with the correct artists and the correct albums and the album covers.tell you the truth it was worth it when you see it.

im gonna test the wifi next.nearest starbuck or mamak.wonder if i can YM from it haha
doubt it though only can send emails and check website
hold on..this is an mp3 player rite??it got wifi??
how cool is that. and you can even watch youtube from this thing

What i dont like about it?
well its frikkin expensive..
ear buds are crap (white are cool and what not but not with this ipod.they should made it black.and the buds are cheap looking compared to my previous ipod buds)

but other than that.no complain.hell i even dont think its that expensive (relative to what it can do)
it will be even cooler when the next one comes out
sure they gonna put everything in it.but for now i am content at owning a very very very awesome gadget

peace
