Mainland

Nose, dripping like a faucet with a loose nut as I sit here in my floral peplum dress which was a hand me down from a friend. The floor is the most comfortable seat in the house and once again I sit here to plot my thoughts. As I sat in my mother's green compact car on our drive home from one of the most enjoyable family dinners I've ever had, (my relatives from mainland China came to pay a visit and they're basically a group of sweet old ladies who just hold your hand and tell you how 'leng lui' you are and they just tell you to study hard in the most pleasant way possible) I noticed how much I love looking out the window when in the car  during the night on the highway. It's just pleasant to know that millions of people are in this beautiful city, living their lives and it's nice knowing that you're part of such a wonderful masterpiece. It really just warms my heart in an indescribable way. The beauty of the array of lights that surround me and the radio playing soft tunes from the 80s kinda makes me wanna get on a motorbike and ride around town just for the fun of it. This is one of the reasons why I would love to get my driving license, so I can roam around town just looking at buildings in the night, riding along highways and just staring in awe of how magnificent a small developing country can be.

Penjenayah Bersih




Well from the video and the header title, you might have guessed another band has caught me like fish in water. The new band that's on my 'To Listen' list is Clean Bandit. This quartet comprising of string instruments, synthesized keyboards and drums and cool catchy beats sure pack a punch when it comes to their music. Take it from me, I've listened to 'Rather Be' and 'Dust Clears' on repeat this whole week with no end. Their ability to collaborate with great directors has also gained them a range of cool music videos which are definitely visual feasts which are not for the weak.

Jane.
