somewhat sille, that's me!

it's been a tiring week since i started my two-week crash course night class at BCM, studying the gospel of John. i don't hide my joy at being able to sit under mind-opening-and-blowing lectures (i seriously dare anyone to sit in one of these lectures and NOT be humbled by the depth and richness of the text), nor do i hide my disdain for coursework (we have to daily submit a short note on waht we've learned from the day's lesson, so i don't really get to rest when i got home -- need to send out the email before i forget stuff) but it's a good price to pay.

my head still hurts from trying to process the everything i've heard, at 3.5hours a night, that's like 14 hours.. it's like trying to finish one last plate of food at a buffet when you're already full. system overload -- i might just explode. heh. was soooo thankful for the day off yesterday -- i woke up at 1pm (partly also due to the insomnia bug that kept my exhausted body up til 4 the night before -- ARGH -- but i got to watch the latest ep of HIMYM tho' from tvduck.com -- whee!!) anyways, it's friday again!! oh happiness!

mm lemme share more of the music i like. happened to "bump" into mae this morning, so here goes..

i love mae.

is that understated or what? heh. anyways, they are one of the handful of bands that would get me totally gushing unabashedly at its mere mention. heh. but for now, going for the understated feel.

i've been totally smitten since i heard this first song from them back in 2006 (or late 2005).

mae :: the ocean

and i remember being in total delirium when i received the everglow album as a gift, and a just-because one at that! :) it's a lovely concept album, designed as a storybook complete with water colour illustrations.

mae :: the everglow

their songs have come to define a period of my life which i totally love and absolutely hate at the same time.. much like the paradox from the blog banner way up there, which btw comes from this song.

mae :: awakening

and i had this song as my phone ringtone for the longest time. and i really like the music video :) [kinda reminds you of the one i posted last week, eh? :)]

mae :: supension

i was kinda bummed out when their keyboardist left in 2007 -- his melodies were one main reason why i got hooked i think (the bassist left at the same time, but erm, didn't make any difference to me :P poor bassists heh. i appreciate my bassists ok :). but some of their newer stuff ain't that bad too -- this was one of the songs i looped the entire day -- but it just ain't the same! i just read on wiki that they are back together sometime last year so yay. :)

mae :: just let go

there are also the little things which i love.. like their three EPs which were named (m)orning, (a)fternoon & (e)vening.. do you see that? things like this make me thrill me to bits. ^__^

anyways, that's all from me for now. have a good weekend. i suspect i will. :)
