Slow day

Went with chin to suntec city today to find a new pair of earphones, because he said that there were a lot of shops there. still, i have no idea why he decided to meet up at 9.30am, when we could have easily gone after lunch or something >.> and right when i slept at 2am the night before, too. but anyway, we spent the entire morning basically walking around level two of the shopping centre waiting for the shops to open one by one since because they weren't open so early (seeing how they have rudimentary common sense and all -.- ). in the end we both got the same model from the sony store:


yup, and mine is purple too, just like in the picture. for some reason i just like purple on black. and also somehow i managed to convince chin to get pink earphones, to "show that you are comfortable with your masculinity" hahaha. i'm quite happy with my purchase; they are comfortable to wear and have great noise isolation and bass, so in my opinion it's money well spent :D

besides that though, today was uneventful; barely did any homework at all :( i think that as much as i'm glad that prelims are over, i'm the type of person who really needs some sort of pressure to function. as perverse and masochistic as it may sound, a small part of me is looking forward to the incoming slew of mini-tests and mock papers, as at least then i'll be pushed along by the current. and of course, the larger part of me is just going "OHNOEZZZZ D: "

anyway, here's another song from Jucifer called Deficit:


the incredibly forced slow pace, the heavy guitar and drums, together with her slow and gentle voice, is an instant formula for an amazingly atmospheric song. it seems that this is actually a genre called sludge rock/metal, where the music is "slow and thick". perhaps another genre that i shall explore :)

i can't believe what i've gotten myself into... *facepalm*
