just realised how much time has passed
i know it's a very cliche thing to say that time creeps up on you. but it really, really, really does.
i was at a mehndi night which is apparently a "pre-party" kind of thing that indian people do before their wedding. i'm not indian myself so it was all so new and exciting for me.
i'm one of the groomsmen, so when i was getting to know the other guys, they asked how i got to know the groom.
i said we met during my national service. in 2017. which made me feel kinda crazy cos i swear that 2017 felt like just a few years ago. now it's 9 years ago. almost a whole decade.
what the fuck?
my music taste is... stuck?
i went home after and wanted to relax to some music and was on youtube.
youtube shows when the video was released, right? and that also made me realise that the songs that i considered were "new" are really now already 8 years old.
i've not really found a new song or genre that i really like since probably 2018-2020.
i believe it's called music paralysis.
this article discusses music paralysis and it's quite interesting.
tbh im ok with listening to the same things i enjoyed from when i was a kid/teen/young adult
it's probably why i enjoy the radio
my constant fear
is my life slipping by, and forgetting what i've done.
so i'm gna take many, many pictures. every month, every year has to count for something.
i'm not going to wake up 40 and think again, boy what happened to the last 10 years?
i need to plan and do more things, make more memories, and build/develop more bonds with people.
checklist for the year
so since i need to do things, and i'm turning 30 next year, here are the things i want to do before that happens:
-
go on a bicycle trip to the white sandy beaches of Desaru, east of Johor, and camp there
one true backpacking trip
go down a mountain biking trail with my friends
learn how to fish, then cook that fish with my friends
get on a hot air balloon
i'll think of more
need to stop sitting in front of my pc
it's all i ever do now.
sit in front of my pc watch nonsense, play games like world of warcraft.
it's hard to detach from that game considering i'm a guild master.
but i can't keep logging in every night, or be on that too much.
there's so much to do out there and so little time.
anyway, here are some of my favourite music i thought were still "new"
i like the whole of the Pacific Daydream album.
enjoy them,
