hello mr. eric!

I just realized that my previous post was the first post of April 1st, which also happens to be April Fool’s day. I just want to clarify that, that post was no joke. I’m serious. Do listen to Khalil Fong.

This current post is also not a joke.


Most people that know me know that I’m a big fan of Khalil Fong. I don’t think people understand why. It’s about the soul, the funk, the groove. It’s about the smooth rhythms and jumping beats. It’s about the playful melodies and meaningful lyrics. It’s about the music and how you can feel that it comes from the heart and soul.

Every time I hear something come out of his mouth, it just blows my mind. You really couldn’t imagine just by looking at him. How can someone be so talented? It’s amazing.

He just completed his two show concert in Hong Kong on March 30 & March 31 and I wish I could’ve been to either (if not both) shows. He had awesome guests too; FAMA & Fiona Sit on March 30 and Kay Tse & Endy Chow on March 31. I was on flickr and I found these amazing pictures of the show. I have to see him live someday. He needs to come to Toronto or at least release a live DVD this time.

Do yourself a favour and listen to all his albums and watch his live performances (youtube). Maybe you’ll find something you like.

I’m in a surprisingly good mood today. The nice sunny weather definitely helps. Had a simple and delicious lunch (egg sandwich, satay beef rice noodles and a cup of lemon tea) with the parents and headed off the YMCA for a satisfying work out.

I was on a search for a spring jacket yesterday at Fairview Mall after work, but didn’t have much luck. I walked the mall TWICE in like less than an hour (but if you think about it, I only went to like 7 stores). There’s this new (to me, since I don’t go to Fairview often) store called Little Burgundy that caught my eye. Not that I really wanted anything in there, but the store front drew my focus.

Anyways the search continues (until I find one or it becomes too warm to wear a jacket).

I got a call from the TD Canada Trust’s Loss Prevention Centre/Department(?) and they said my access card may have been compromised and I would need to get a new one. I don’t really use my card much, usually only at bank machines and maybe the occasional store (I hardly buy anything offline anymore). If anything I would think my credit card would be more at risk, since I use it much more often for online shopping.

I think I’ve had my card since the beginning of high school. It was starting to get pretty worn out. Funny thing with the new cards is that they no longer print your name on the card, but you can pretty much just look at the signature on the back (given that you have a legible signature, not some crazy scribble).

I usually have pretty good ideas, but I always seem to never put them into action. There’s always something holding me back. That’s the thing I hate most about myself and lately it’s been annoying the hell out of me. There’s no point in avoiding this, it won’t get any better until I do something. My fantastic imagination isn’t helping things at all and my courage is no where to be found. When will this be over?
