the impending death of cds & pink like candy

I switched the radio on just in time to hear 知足 being played.
oh...the original version is as beautiful as ever!

So today, i wanted to go to this cd shop at capitol. i have recently realised that many cd shops are only carrying the latest album of each artiste now. You cant imagine how hard it is to even find an album from 2007 now in most cd shops. I reckon this is an omen that cds are becoming history, and not to mention that many cd shops have gone out of business. this is worrying and sad. digital music can never be like what an album should be, because you need to autograph the cd sleeve, and the cover and the lyrics book and any other small leaflets inside, and even the case. and you need to browse and browse the lyrics book until they are yellow and have ears. so, from what i remembered, this cd shop at capitol was like an outlet shop with many old cds as i remember buying md's 1st album from there some time back. unfortunately, they have became "gramophone" xianzzz... another indication that cds are going to be phased out as a large part of the shop are movies.

good thing is i still managed to pick up a copy of 168 concert dvd.
i am recently getting very paranoid that cds are disappearing and my vcds will not last, so the big plan is to get a dvd version of anything.

and i picked up a holga camera at peninsula!
decided on the pink one over the red/white finally as pink is ultimately still...my colour. haha.
and just for the record, i will have a matching stay real strap for either one.



now i will wait for the VHS conversion man to pick up my tapes to convert them into reliable long lasting dvds, and we shall have an old school party watching recordings from 10 yrs ago, munching on big round coloured biscuits with crumbs that drop all over the floor, playing with old maid and donkey cards with ears, and taking pictures on film, and scrolling the knob after every shot.

you know for sure that you are aging when you start loving old stuff and fretting about losing them.
and planning old school parties.
haha.
