Birthdays are overrated.

This song is pretty eerie but I like it. It's the kind of song which you can't remember the main tune, but you can't stop listening to it again and again. I like it. 

Been up to a whole bunch of stuff lately. University, outings, aimless walks around town, public bus rides, window shopping, actual shopping, yada yada. The funny thing is I don't seem to be needing as much sleep as before. I sleep late and wake up early. Trust me, I've tried sleeping without setting my alarm and I'm still up by 7 or 8am. Mostly 7 ish now. Am I turning senile? What the nonsense. 

I used to dread the thought of turning old, which meant that I usually didn't look forward to birthdays. Hur. That's pretty weird, no? Birthdays are supposed to be all fun and joy and laughter and whatever happy word there is out there, but I just don't see it that way. I mean, there are plenty of joyous occasions happening throughout the year itself, right? Some are worthy of being labelled epic. Birthdays shouldn't be the highlight of the year. The entire year should be looked forward to. Anticipated. That's the way we should live. Yata!

I have a problem. 
Aha, don't worry it's not a drug problem, or something (JEEZ) It's just that I have this irritating habit of wanting to find the name of any new song I randomly hear on commercials, on the radio, in movie trailers, or even in the supermarket (you know, cold storage plays some pretty sweet tunes) So the other day at Far East I noticed (technically not noticed, since I heard not saw but err doesn't matter) that most of the shops were playing covers of current pop hits. It took me a while to realise that, though. You'll understand. First, check out one of the songs below. 



Yeah, I know. Sounds like the stuff they play at the Starbucks. Eheh. But admit it. Don't you actually like the music they play there? Suits the atmosphere and kinda enhances your java sipping experience. Haha. Despite how cheesy it sounds, it's true! 

They're a Filipino group that covers pop songs, Bossa Nova style. Was extremely difficult to look up anything about them though. Very new, I suppose. But they're managed by a Singaporean company. So I'm guessing they distribute it to the stores here for our shoppers' pleasure? Haha. 

New songs for my playlist! Nice.
