hmm, long wkend's coming to an end, gd friday till easter monday, was really great that i had a 4 day break, but its back to work again. went clubbing again on saturday, tried absinthe before that, was quite cool, was supposed to b stronger than bacardi, but the absinthe nowadays are weaker than it was during the Impressionist period, so i guess there's no chance of having the hallucinating effect or what, but its still a cool drink, though i wan to try the Czech method of drinking, dipping a sugar cube in absinthe and lay it on top of the shot, and lighting it and stirring the caramelised sugar into the drink, there's like even absinthe spoons with holes in it so the sugar can drip through.. hmm, gonna get a bottle of absinthe and bring it back to singapore.. lazing ard for 4 days is a great break for me, but i tink i'll b struggling to get back into the mood to study again..

*edit looks like i was misinformed about absinthe, the czech method was actually quite unorthodox, but the french way of dissolving a sugar cube into it with iced water and involves louching seems credible, and the czech 'absinth' was never the original, nor does the hallucinating effect come from the amt of thujone found in absinthe, but could b due to effects of all the ingredients used during the distillation all added together.. hmm. absinthe is getting more interesting to read up about.. haha

winter's coming, and i need to buy a nice jacket


the green fairy

Death Cab for Cutie - Death Of An Interior Decorator

You were the mother of three girls so sweet
Who stormed through your turnstile
And climbed to the street
But after conception your body lay cold
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

He took a lover on a faraway beach
While you arrange flowers and chose color schemes

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

The girls were all there
They traded their vows
The youngest one glared with furrowed brows
They tenderly kissed then cut the cake
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
The one you thought would spend the years
So perfectly placed below the mirror
Arriving late, you clean the debris
And walked into the angry sea

It felt just like falling in love again
It felt just like falling in love again

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?
Can you tell me why you have been so...
