In J1, i had e oppurtunity to meet this girl on my LEP Beijing Trip. A girl whom i would have liked to further my acquaintance with, in a purely platonic sense. Though i can't remember any specific incident giving birth to such an inclination, I vaguely remember it was some rather taciturn chemistry musically. She is quite a talent. She has her own album, i think. And she was ever mentioned by I-weekly. And she is very active in e performing arts.
I mention her in memory of that rather peculiar feeling i get when I'm around her: if she agreed with something u said or shared a common interest, u had all e right in e world to feel rather immensely proud of urself. Probably that kind of feeling u get around celebrities n' talents.(or at least celebrities u like, not Janet Jackson). Or it could be a very musical thing, cos i get that feeling from a friend that's quite a piano prodigy, in my opinion.
Anyway, this girl actually sent me two of her favourite albums by her favourite singer, songwriter , Chen Shan Ni, by post. How odd and very flattering indeed. Odd because we hardly knew each other and i could easily forget to return her e album (which indeed i did, till now, which is a good 1 and a half years). Flattering because it does evince a certain trust in both my integrity and taste.
But i really didn't get down to listening to both albums seriously since e day i received it. Yes, so it sat neglected for 1 and a half years in my shelf. I did try easy-listening but somehow it doesn't give e albums e attention it deserves, and thus did it great injustice because i remembered that i declared (to myself) that e albums were "not my cuppa tea" (which was a guise for "her-music-is-so-weird":- i jus dun feel nice putting them down cos it was after all her good intentions).
And now, after i decided to get a Postpac to envelop the two cds and send it back to her that i thought, hell, if someone had took e effort n time to send me her favourite albums, thinking that i was someone deserving of such trust (above-mentioned) and of such kind intentions, how deplorable of me to jus send e cds back to her, accompanying with it a lousy hand-written note : " Thanks, not bad but not my cuppa tea"(hypocritical me)! So now i'm giving myself and Chen Shan Ni a chance to redeem ourselves.
Playing Chen Shan Ni's " Wu Xie Ke Ji ".
It's not too bad. Really. But still "not my cuppa tea".
Wait, that sounds familiar...
But somehow I feel much more at ease with my not-very-new conclusion.
---- E silly ethics of Zheng Yi
Listening : Chen Shan Ni's " Bu Gou Fang Si "
