A little night music.

I finally got the Culture Club CD I've been yammering about for weeks, thanks to someone at work who calmly logged on to Amazon.com and bought it for me last week, possibly to shut me up [salut]. Je n'ai eu le temps de l'écouter jusqu'à maintenant/I hadn't had time to listen to it until now. I did a quick run-through of all the tracks and of course, I love it. Somewhere along the way, I fell into a groove and I'm now listening to "Time-Clock of the Heart" over and over. I'm not sure what genre that song falls under -- maybe R&B, with a touch of lite funk? Whatever -- it's a nice sound track for getting lost in thought at 10.38 p.m.

To purposely lose myself in thought, I used to drive around Putrajaya at night while listening to Lite FM, and the effect was hauntingly spectacular. Putrajaya is pretty dead during the day -- I mean the buildings -- but at night and lit from inside, the hulking towers of metal and marble are pulsing with life. It's terrific, actually. My favourite was the Ministry of Finance, which looks a bit like Jamaluddin Jarjis if he were a building*. And then, as you're driving the 7-kilometre stretch from the Prime Minister's office towards the Cyberjaya end, the convention centre comes as a bit of a shock. You don't really see it until after you've rounded this skateboard park thing, and then suddenly you see a space ship on top of the hill, glowing a dark blue. It's pretty awesome.

The fact that I liked Lite FM is bizarre, though. It's shocking to find that I have a latent adult soft-rock lover in me... but it only comes out in Presint 3. At night.

*My liking the building has no bearing on whether or not I like Jamaluddin Jarjis, okay.
