Online radios FTW!!!

Nothing beats listening to radio while working. For real. And I have been streaming them online, since my makeshift-radio(from a mp3 player-cum-voice recorder) died on me >< Also, it is pretty impractical to be Youtubing music videos at work since they pretty much suck up the bandwith and stuffs. Anyway, I have about two favourites for the time being. These stations are a great help while I am slowly dying at work XD At least they keep me sane and alive as my workplace is usually silent. Like... pin-drop silence? See the POWER of radio now???

So, on with the first one, I have been listening to r/a/dio ever since one of my secondary classmates introduced it to me and boy, don't I just love it lots. For one, the DJ doesn't do any talking, means it is fully music. The music are fully /jp/(japanese) related and most of the time /a/(anime). Although there are some rare moments where random unknown songs goes on air, it is usually because the streamer went down or something like that. Nevertheless, the music is very diverse and has a pretty good mix. The best part? You can request tracks or even, submit track (pretty strict requirements though). All in all, go forth and enjoy!!!

The next one is a local Malaysia radio station, Red.fm. It is still in beta stage I guess, judging from the full link. However, it does not break at all, unless your connection is sucky :P As with all normal radio stations, this one has DJs talking, interacting and keeping you entertained! One of my favourite radio DJ, Zak also joined Red.fm!!! Who is also a stand-up comedian. I have always listened to him in the morning back in Lite.fm, when he was paired up with Sara, so being able to hear him again was just so fun! :D

There you go. One to satisfy my /jp/ cravings and another to keep myself abreast with current hits. Hope this helps your workday too!

A big bother

Trolololol! Starting the new year with a fairly thought-provoking post. Must I really go down this path? I can choose not to but it will feel unresolved. XD

Anyway, here goes: Being a literature student, I was thought and trained that everything is a matter of opinion, sometimes backed by your train of thoughts or upbringing/culture. Nothing is definitely right or wrong, only your thoughts made it so.

Within my first hour of new year, I already experience an emotional dilemma. I wanted to blame someone or anyone for something I encountered. However, upon reflection, perhaps I was the one at fault. For being a menace, being a big pest or a bother. Maybe if I was more useful, and wiser, I would have been strong enough to say a resolute NO, rather than always expecting others to be there for me.

Maybe this is retribution for being useless and expecting. Perhaps my new year resolution should start with : being a hermit.

Non-disclosure :P

There is a reason why I turn off my Facebook birthday notification. XD or maybe a few. Anyway, yeap, 10th dec is the date.

Basically, I came from old school of thoughts and believe in wishing someone a year older, the traditional way. Of course, by traditional, in a particular order, by physical presence, phone communication and last on my list, social media.

Besides, I want to observe and play a little experiment on my dear friends. I mean, those who cared would wish and those who doesn't, just doesn't, right? Not that there would be friendship level changes, like promotion or demotion, but I am just naturally curious :P

However, social media or particularly Facebook acts as a in-your-face notification and I really don't like that. Because it became a matter of convenience to send a greeting. Although, I did send wishes via Facebook on acquaintances and cordial friends. The friendlier ones, I would wish on a more personal basis like a message or something of that sort.

Ultimately, I guess it is the personal touch that I want to incorporate. I am quite sure this phrase fits well here : connected in a disconnected world.
