"7 boxes of compressed celluloid"
----------------------------------------------
today was the first time that i'd ever been to putrajaya/cyberjaya. it's quite weird, finding a high-tech modern ghost town with absolutely no people in it. not to say that it's got a population of zero, since there's quite a bit of occupied housing, but going to the main administrative area is like walking into an empty brasilia; all the weekenders have left. still, the place is bleeding impressive, and open...it's like you've got these monolithic avantgarde buildings just standing there, waiting to be plucked. first, you come to kl, and then, putrajaya, and it's just...outweeded. anyway, we scoped around the place, and found some lakeside realty, though, it wasn't really built up. give it a few more years, i suppose. i remember reading this article about teens staying in the new capital; i can only envy them. or feel pity, looking at the state of things there. it's orderly, clean, but...boring. it's stoic. antiseptic, even.
after the putrajaya stint, we went to tesco [puchong], and did a bit of shopping. i swear, my dad and uncle were looking through chinese karaoke vcds for 20 minutes or even more, but i found some cassettes for RM 3.90 [i'm listening to Massive Attack's Mezzanine] now [it's working well --- a pleasant surprise]. i bought 7 for about RM 29, which is alright, considering that's worth about two [unbargain binned] cassettes. here's the list:
massive attack - mezzanine
michael jackson - invincible
lara croft: tomb raider ost
barenaked ladies - stunt
the cardigans - life
the cardigans - first band on the moon
chemical brothers - brothers gonna work it out
quite an eclectic mix, and i don't know how the michael jackson got there, but hey, it's there.
oh, well. tomorrow's going to be spent at the eastin hotel, checking up on the venue again. hopefully we can barrage the catering department head with questions regarding the upcoming ball...though there're other developments that i can't share with you yet concerning everything else.
oh, well. here's to a day well spent.
