i thought slamming the car door into my fingers was painful. today i did it with one of those cold storage room doors. they're heavy, industrial use and all, thick as hell. now my finger's bleeding, and swollen. ouch. at least i wont be able to show the middle finger with my right hand, har har! but writing damn susah, man. adoi.
friday night... am gonna burrow deep in and stay home. watch reruns. told my bud surin that i won't pick up any calls! hee hee. last night was bad enough, getting to see the insides of at least three establishments...
totally into old-school hip-hop today. from Rapper's Delight to White Lines to Planet Rock... memories come flooding back oh! when i was a little boy (wakakakakakaaa) we were totally into the early scene, the movies Breakin' and Beat Street were hot. people were doing their moves all over the place, including the back of the class during lessons. yours truly might even have been an adept body-popper ; ) but never never ask me to show ya!
one thing i couldn't do were the big moves like headspins and other acrobatic stuff. a little backspin was OK but i think my muscle tone was pretty bad back then... and the establishment frowned upon such 'Western' cultures, so there was not much we could do. Unlike now, i think this sorta thing might even have Rakan Muda backing??!! what we had at the birth of the hip-hop scene, is now so mainstream... god i feel old, like a historian or something.
it was a fun time though. the growth of the Brit New Romantic scene, when music was good. drinking shandy in the afternoons. riding bicycles. we rented these 'How To' videos for breakdancing even. why was i never good i wonder, must be cos of my self-perception, har har.
met my hip-hop buddy from back in da day... he's got kids now. it's a linear progression, this. perhaps some of us just refuse to move along : (
ok time to go for bukak, hahah. what issit for tonite ah.. did go to the vegetarian shop but ate the curry mee - not bad but would've preferred the BKT version. laparrr gilaaaaa....
