Heuh


Ugh…. It is darn hard to start this boring task that I have to do today. BLAH.
Make haste. Make haste. Tons of things on my to do list. Better get over with this dreadful item first.
Bleaaaahhhh………..

Luciano Pavarotti’s Nessun Dorma is just breathtaking!!!! Literally & figuratively of course. Romantic and powerful. He began softly, gradually shows his force and in the end, the way he sings vincerò!
…………
superb. Perfect.
And don’t make me compare him to this popera singer everybody hyped about. The most beautiful sound? Puhleazeeee!!!!!! He has no Pavarotti’s singing power & passion. His song is just flat. Like comparing Frank Sinatra to this other singer David Foster found. Ugh. The song ate him!!!! The ol’ blue eyes sang effortlessly but suavely which got me under my skin. This singer sang so effortlessly that my mind made no effort to remember him. His version is just passing me by, no imprint, not significant.
I know nothing about opera, but I can distinguish someone who sings with his heart and soul with someone who’s trying too hard.

Fashionista facinates me. I never cares too much about my clothes. As long as they are comfortable, not too shabby, does not make me look like a fashion victim or a whale or a cow or a tranny: am game. So knowing that people regularly buy fashion magazines just to be told about what they should wear this coming season, what they should look like, how thin/curvaceous their body are, what color they should apply etc is simply …. mind boggling. It is just amazing that of the the long list of we have to do every day, they manage to coordinate what they wear with their current mood and the current trend, or even think ahead of it. Not just clothes, but also bags, shoes, glasses, make up and perfume and whatchamacallits i don’t know about.
No, I don’t have a tiniest thing against them. They don’t intimidate me either.
Am just curious.

I’ve met two overachievers in my life recently. One annoy me like itchy bump on my bum which I cannot scratch because am presenting this budget in front of da big honchos. Another is so ambitious that this person behaves so high and mighty, forgetting that this person is no longer where this person was. The first one, I have to occasionally deal with which sometimes ends up with me grinding my teeth or snickering like mad. The other, am blessed that I have not bumped into something we have to work together. Both have problems dealing with people and seems unaware of it.

Hey, make haste!!!!
