After years of expensive education A car full of books and anticipation I’m an expert on Shakespeare and that’s a hell of a lot But the world don’t need scholars as much as I thought Maybe I’ll go traveling for a year Finding myself, or start a career Could work the poor, though I’m hungry for fame We all seem so different but we’re just the same Maybe I’ll go to the gym, so I don’t get fat Aren’t things more easy, with a tight six pack Who knows the answers, who do you trust I can’t even separate love from lust Maybe I’ll move back home and pay off my loans Working nine to five, answering phones But don’t make me live for Friday nights Drinking eight pints and getting in fights Maybe I’ll just fall in love That could solve it all Philosophers say that that’s enough There surely must be more Love ain’t the answer, nor is work The truth eludes me so much it hurts But I’m still having fun and I guess that’s the key I’m a twentysomething and I’ll keep being me
Satire-ly laughing, specially at “but the world don’t need scholars as much as I thought” and “pay off my loans”, and rolling on the floor at “working nine to five”.

Might be useful…for coloring charts. Hhhhhh. (Well although I understand these, I always, consciously or not consciously, just anyhow color graphs for scientific publications.. Maybe something under my consciousness has affected me? Hm.)
Whatever happened before I faced this computer around 1 hour ago was not really pleasing, but I won’t tell here..
When I went back from buying dinner to eat in office while writing this and that, I checked my personal emails. This account had nothing, that account also had nothing..
And then.
I opened another account (how many addresses do I have.. haha) and saw that there is an e-mail from Esplanade, saying that:
MOSAIC 2013. IS. OVER.
Oh God.
I did not even know when Mosaic 2013 started. So I was like, “what the….?”
Yeah, I do know the existence of Mosaic 2013 because I saw SKAPARA (Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra)’s ticket sales before and felt quite sad because it was on Friday and I could not be sure that I would be able to come and watch them. But okay then, every year I tend to pass the paying programme.. The so-not-okay one is, for this year, I did not even know the exact date for the free performances that I usually watch..
Anyway, upon seeing that mail, I checked Mosaic 2013 webpage.
Aside of the free performances that look interesting, I usually check if there is Indonesian artists performing (in this category too, of course =P). Usually those who came to Mosaic are the fun, ecletic, indie artists or that type of music which I tend to listen during my secondary school and high school times back then (aside than those jazz and… JAPANESE yeah rite *ok fine SKAPARA is not “yeah rite”*).. Last year Leonardo Ringo (Zeke and the Popo’s vocalist) even came, which was so incredible!
I did the same for this year.
There is even a local band called I Hate This Place. Seriously, almost laughing on the floor.
I felt generally fine.. Until I saw this in the lineup:
OH. MY. GOODNESS.
The third time (at my best knowledge) they came to Singapore, and the third time I missed them performing as well.
When they were performing I was on my impromptu shopping spree
Fine. So gonna cry. SOOOO GONNA CRY. What a way to call it a day!!!!
I have started thinking if I have become too occupied, or too stressed out, or too involved in my own world until I did not notice that Mosaic has started or even to check the lineup closer to the normal month (around March).
But well. What a bad day today. I need to play my White Shoes playlist and hurl I think..
Anyway.. The weird thing is, the song was playing in the background while I saw whiteshoes in the list and felt really really really really sad about it:
Cause even the stars they burn Some even fall to the earth We’ve got a lot to learn God knows we’re worth it
Toasting to life, love, laughter and chilled sparkling cherry-flavored drink.
