Unlike my two other sisters who blog regularly, I am very malas…especially when it comes to updating. Anyway, It so happens I have 30 minutes to spare today..so let’s see what comes out of this then!

Since meeting M, I’ve gotten a raise, have become a regular train metrorail commuter ( wah lau..am I brave or what?), and now moving to RUSTIC Kalk Bay, a world so different to where I am currently staying and playing. ( Oy vey..) I guess that’s what happens when you meet new people - you try new things.

One of those things I am getting more and more exposed to is “WORLD/african folk” music and more recently ..( ohmygd..i can’t believe it myself)..JAZZ. I’m ..uh..still trying..JAZZ isn’t easy, especially if it involves illiterate ears like YT. I still try hard to keep my yawns to a minimum. Dont get me wrong, I dont think Jazz is boring at all.. it’s just too complex for me to appreciate and be bothered with ..right now. M keep son telling me its the mode…( hmm?what mode? is what I keep on saying.)

M is still very considerate, he tries his best I think not to play JAZZ when we’re in a space together. But who knows what will happen when we do move in to this new place…

Maybe it’s time I start taking the Linkin Park, Creed CDs out….hehehe….

When you’ve past a certain age, sometimes new things just don’t stick to you as easily as it would if you were younger… Remember Incubus? Listening to their old hit ” I miss You”  again - Damn that was a  frikkin good song. ….Still is.

    Don’t fret dah-ling, jazz is an acquired taste, just like malayman ;p
    I know jst the thing to deflower a jazz virgin like u. Start by listening to bossanova / latin jazz type like Stan Getz (Iluv!) / Bebel Gilberto (must listen to ‘The Girl from Ipanema, u like it for sure!!!). Also listen to Stacey Kent (luvluvluv). From here u can slowly progress to other type of jazz genres but it’s a long way before u can start appreciating the heavy stuff like bigband, swing, bebop, etc heck I still dont get some of them! Haih, all that jazzzz kan! :)

    Oneesan,
    I didn’t know you dont really listen to jazz? Huh? I must agree with PinkCherry. Girl from Ipanema is a gud listen. But I sorta prefer the Stan Getz version. Kehee…
