A few minutes past 1 p.m., Singapore time, I've finally fed my curiosity and excitement over the new HIM track being released a few minutes ago. What I think (basing on the track alone); Reminiscent of the Dark Light album. Fast paced, light and melancholy, nothing like Venus Doom- and I bet that's the purpose of the album. After all these years, I guess fans know Valo's heart and soul well enough to expect Screamworks to turn out like this. And awesomely so, as much as I did enjoy Venus Doom more than I did any other albums, I've to say that I'm waiting in suspense for the reveal of the rest of the tracks. Yes, albeit the natural "fan"-reaction of saying that Dark Light is the worst album to come from HIM, I've to disagree (I think I've discussed this before). Because Dark Light, for me, comes in second right next to Doom (because I did coincidentally find out about HIM through Wings Of A Butterfly when I was searching for The Rasmus about three years ago). Yes, I'm a fan of their old stuff- The Path, Fortress of Tears, Your Sweet Six Six Six- but I guess the lightness of the album gripped me somehow. I guess I've been long dragged down that road of listening to radio-friendly, teeny-bopperish radio edits of the songs. Then again, I do dance to Byronic Man (still). I've been going through the track listing a lot though and I'm really expecting songs like Katherine Wheel and Ode to Solitude to be heavy tracks. Well, I could be wrong. Why not we all (or me, at least) count down the days in suspense and unimaginable excitement while we await the release of the 7th studio album by our Love Metalist, ne? :D

BHAHA- okay, I think I've hyperventilated enough, for now. Ya know what I wanna say now? Well, You guys know how I live on the 15th storey, which is the second last level in my block of flats. So I like to look out the window, every now and again, to catch a glimpse of the insect-sized humans from my point of view, and look about how people live their lives on a day to day basis. And the air up here, I love it. How, after the rain, you could smell the fumes of the soil rising up. But it's not always like that. I've done this a couple of times for the past few days, and at around 7:15 in the evening, I'd stand at my kitchen window and take in the scene as the sun slowly disappears and I slowly take in the breath of what I have learned to live and love as fresh air. Carrot cake, Char Kwey Teow and Fish Head Curry- THAT is what I smell at the time of day. And to hell and beyond, I am so in love with it that I don't ever want to leave Singapore even if you paid me a billion dollars (US). Yeah- so that's my escapade, for now. I am so bored during the holidays. XD
And what do we learn at the end of the day? Hot air RISES. [: Science lesson there.

 
I'll be going out later, buying something for Rauf since it's gonna be his fifteenth on Tuesday. He's been reminding me of it countless times this week and if I don't buy him anything, he'd just make it a point to piss me off in future; "Ya lah, Huda, see why I sad, never buy me anything on my birthday. After TEN months of friendship..." Yeah, he'd say that kindda thing. I heard they're booking a chalet of pit Monday, don't think I'll be attending that. But I guess his birthday's gonna be a rave be it celebration or not. Because Huda's buying him a gift, duh. :DDDD

oh, and Heartkiller's in hot pink since. Well. It's Love Metal. Besides purple.
