The Groove

These past couple of months have been about re-exploring some of my "old" music and letting how good it is soak in. One of the bands I've been chilling and bopping my head to is Dungen (The Groove in english). It's this strange mix of arabian, jazz and indie with infectious groovy rhythms that you can't help but enjoy. You'll always see me on the train or bus bopping my head to it and just getting into the rhythm, which leads me to my next point. These past few months have been rather uneventful as is a gap year at home (the daily calender seems to fly out of the window), but it's also been a good time for reflection - becoming more easier with myself. Really, one of the biggest epiphany moments was actually a couple of days ago when I was on my way back from China Town and I was jamming to Soil And Pimp Sessions. The more I listened to it, the more it kind of hit me - just be comfortable in my own skin, enjoy my time and stop focusing on what's wrong and get on with things. See, my perspective on things is quite rather strange - it's like a kaleidoscope of negative thoughts brimming in my mind about how people are or how I am in respect to them. Sometimes It's just good to let myself fit into my personality suit and put it on and just walk out and enjoy it. I think alot of kudos goes to Soil and Pimp Sessions because listening to them reminded me of the last time I saw them and I just kind of didn't care about anything and enjoyed the gig fully - jumping around and singing the beats along with the song. I think it's the energy that attracts me to it and gets me positively minded about things.

Because I'm on a gap year doing practically nothing, I've run out of things to say so that's all i'm giving right now :P.

p.s. Michiko To Hatchin is a cool animé, especially the intro song =D
