2012 in (mainstream) music

SO the time of the year has come and I'm posting my top songs of the year as usual! Haha coz I'm a music junkie and this has been kind of the tradition. Except that this year I don't really update myself on new artists (except the exploding ones like PSY -.-) or listen to many different genres for some reasons (e.g. Nicki Minaj :"> but seriously I was probably just lazy and then uni started so ya) so this can be considered as the guide to 2012 mainstream music, by me! :p


NO. ARTIST TITLE

50 Cheryl Under the Sun
One of the only 2 songs of the album that I listened to :">.

49 Jay-Z Glory (feat. BIC)

48 Rita Ora How We Do (Party)
Overexposed on MTV, but kind of addictive.

47 Ha Anh Vu From the Very Start
Yup I didn't like her at the beginning because of the fiasco POSE SNAP SNAP POSE but after watching her live and being influenced by my Internet friend (u know who u r LOL) I listened to this song and it was kind of nice :).

Not her best, but the album's best anyway.

No introduction needed right? 

11 Glee Cast Mine
One of Glee's best songs EVER

10 P!nk Try
Another breathtaking performance that only P!nk can do (and possible Beyoncé but she prefers shaking her hips. No I'm kidding.)

Ignore the random video lol.

I listened to this song so many times so I can rap to it. And YES I CAN. And it's quite funny to see it on TV coz like half of the song is censored lol.

2 Solange Losing You
THE underexposed song of the year. This deserves the #1 on the charts!

1 M.I.A. Bad Girls

On another note, this list was done quite hastily and without much consideration so if you have a violent objection please don't kill me lol it's just for fun. Consider this a guide to (a very limited range of) mainstream music of 2012! If u have any đá to ném at me please do it before 2013 hehe kthxbye. And HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)

It's another New Year!

If you know me, you know that I don't usually do new year's resolutions. Because what is time but a social construct? Like ok, I see the point, and if it helps to motivate people into doing things, good for them. But I've never been the kind of person that is able to follow through with something if I plan them too rigorously. But then again, now that I'm 5.5 years into the corporate life, I realise that planning is important, and not even for the kind of big picture capitalist goals/visions/missions thing that companies do, but even for the day to day kind of work, because of how technologies have created this need to be super 'efficient' and 'productive'. Sometimes I wish that writing a blog post like this could be considered 'productive' as well in this capitalist world, because then I may be more motivated to write more than one post per year. Remember the time that I wanted to write one blog post per week and I wrote like 5 posts? Lol. Anywa

Life in quarantine

Ah hello, it's been a while. Not that anyone visits this blog anymore lol. But it's still good to be able to write things out some time. So we're entering the third week of lockdown here in Singapore. Yes it is a lockdown despite what the formal term is. And me, being a good citizen and law-abiding non-Singaporean, is staying at home. Thank you e-commerce and delivery services (as well as frontliners and health workers, of course). It's interesting to see how things are panning out, at least from the way people are reacting to this. For me personally, I really don't mind being at home for most of my week, but I do enjoy the very rare trips to the convenience stores nearby or just to check my mails downstairs. I've grown increasingly lazy to even go out to a supermarket and buy actual grocery - luckily my roommates will be happy to help. Generally I do feel that people are frustrated because they don't have a choice - das ist nicht freiwillig! (Yes I

2019

Just realised that I posted a post for 2020 planning/goals/whatever you want to call those like 1 month ago. Which makes me posting a 2019 reflections post at this moment kind of random lol but it's my blog so I do whatever I want. Nothing too fancy, just want to lay out some achievements and other highlights of 2019: Jan - switched to a role with more responsibilities. Started training phase Feb - went home for Tết Mar - qualified for Breakfast Club. KL trip was fun April - got promoted May - good start to the Consultant life, another Breakfast Club qualification.
