Constructive Deconstruction

Missing Pandora? Well there’s GlobalPandora…for now.

There was a time when I used to have Pandora running in the background. It always got the songs that I wanted to hear at that moment right. Then one day, it become US-only.

But now there’s GlobalPandora which supposedly allows you to login using your pandora details and is available internationally. It seems to be an unofficial service so they’re probably just bouncing the data around to get it out of the US.

…and because of that, they might not last long. Stan from Mashable is giving it one day.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Are you a complain King/Queen? Join the Complaints Choir Project.

I remember seeing a video of the Helsinki Complaints Choir some time back. It was really good…entertaining too! I was wondering if Singapore would have one too..and well, it’s becoming reality.

As of the Singapore M1 Fringe Festival, the choir will be putting some performances. Apparently this Singaporean version of the choir has attracted over 60 participants.

Now…I can’t wait to catch em. Outing anyone?

Workshops for the Complaints Choir Project are already underway and will last until 25 January. Live performances will take place on 25 and 26 January at various locations such as People’s corner, the Esplanade Waterfront, the Arts House Chamber and vivo city.

Resetting my body clock to it’s default setting

I was up early today. Exceptionally so because I can see my friends slowly come alive on my MSN and the “Good Morning” greetings on the ping.sg shoutbox.

On other mornings, I witness the same things too but today I can say, “I’m up early” because I actually slept earlier(and got up way too early too) in an attempt to restore my body clock to its factory default settings. The super late nights(to the point that it’s already day) has been taking a toll on my body but what concerns me more is how I think it’s taking a toll on my mind.

It feels cluttered and full like the present state of my room. It feels tired all the time. It’s one thing when the body is weak but the mind is still able to function and show you what needs to be done. It’s completely different when you sit there and try to think and all you get is this mush of thoughts that’s analogous to mashed potato slowly oozing out of its container…complete with the slushy sound. It’s disgustingly slow and it doesn’t make sense.

I’ve been a lot more emotional these past few days too. I’ve had bouts of complete insecurity mixed with pessimism towards my personal outlook( how can one be so genuinely optimistic professionally yet have little optimism for himself?). Ok, that’s pretty common but it’s worse recently. And I hate it how it comes just before I go to bed…the worse way to go to sleep is with that yucky feeling of if-i-disappeared-no-one-would-notice feeling. It just plain sucks.

I should be going for a run right about now but i’m afraid that i’d be pushing too hard to change my sleep cycle. I might just end up tiring myself too fast, and fall asleep later in the afternoon…And that’s something I can’t afford to do with so many planned rollouts in the weeks to come.

Maybe I just need stronger coffee.

Or maybe I need a stronger kick in the ass today.
