hola!
i am back, breathing well - after my tight deadlines are over.
one more essay due next friday but i'll have time to do research over the weekend, so it shouldn't be a problem.
anyhoos, exams are creeping in like a cockroach. getting a bit nervy but i will not let it affect me.
to quote weiying's msn nickname, "worrying about today will rob you of tomorrow", so i'll do my best in my revision and God will do the rest!

spice girls
i was secretly happy that spice girls are reuniting. fine, slam them all you want but they were part of my starstruck childhood and they were the coolest girl band. i could remember buying pricey magazines just to cut out pictures of them and put them in my scrapbook, buying their cassette tape and dancing to "wannabe" with angie and sarah in front of a full-length mirror.
surprisingly, i can still remember their lyrics to their hits (and realise the lyrics are plain nonsensical but who cares?)

of course, who could forget backstreet boys. those karaoke sessions of bsb's sappy love songs ("as long as you love me" was the best) at angie's house with my primary school friends...
oh yes! and michael learns to rock. ha! "paint my love" and "wild woman". goodness i can't believe that after ten years, i can still recall ALL THESE.

boy am i glad spice girls are reunitng because somehow, they are representative of how much i have grown. brings back the good old memories of my "tweenhood".

10 years later, i've explored, moved on to other genres and found solace in the music of john mayer, corrinne may, norah jones and u2.

but deep down, spice girls will always be my music first love :P
