Inappropriate Songs

For some reason Pete and I always ended up having strange conversation topic. Now here we have: inappropriate funearl songs.

Until it sleeps - Metallica
Don't you (forget about me) - Simple Minds
I just died in your arms tonight - Air Supply
Zombie - Cranberries
Every breath you take - The Police
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees

And of course, strangely appropriate but probably would freak everyone out:

O Fortuna.

Man I still want O Fortuna to be played as my wedding procession, none of those wedding march business. Can you imagine how cool that would be, to be walking down the asile with O fortuna playing in the background? *sigh*. Alas, I don't think even Pete would approve. :P (My mum will kill me for that, I'm sure.)

I'm still not too sure why everyone wants to play Angel by Robbie Williams in funeral. To be honest I find that somewhat... strange to play that song in funeral. It almost sounded like that guy committed suicide if that song's played. There are tonnes of better songs to be played. My personal favourite of appropriate funeral songs is probably still Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day. See? THAT got class. And it's not depression like Trouble by Coldplay. (Although that would be one kick ass song to play for a funeral, depressing as hell.) Obviously, if you want to do for the depression as hell look for your funeral, there's always Mad World by Gary Jules.

Of course, you can go the other extreme and have "Always look on bright side of life". It worked for Graham Chapman. And very appropriate too. Although I think Eric Idle did mention that he almost cried when he sang that at the funeral. Heck I almost cried watcing the clips. So you probably can't avoid the saddness of it.

Speaking of Green Day's Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (and I still refused to call it simply "Time of Your Life"...), apparently it's actually a common choice for weddings. I suppose some newlyweds must be finding comforts in words like "It's not a question but a lesson learnt in time."

Weirdos.

A real pain in the butt, and why I don't date Asian.

After practically declaring I'm a feminist and pissed Birdie off, now I'm declaring myself to be a racist.

This morning I was walking down some stairs to head towards the engineering library, and since it's been raining pretty much all morning, I slipped and hurt my bum. Which isn't too bad considering that I didn't actually slip all the way to the bottom of stairs (I tried that once. REALLY not fun) and only slightly hurt my bum, thigh, and foot. But still.

And here's where I made this observation. You see, having ONE weak knee makes balancing a bit hard for me (Not to mention my right leg is actually slightly twisted in a strange angle), and I slip A LOT. Most of the time though really makes you love NZ for the place it is. People always stop and ask and see if you're okay, and some would help me up if I can't really stand.

And today, the only person who saw me was an Asian boy, who just pretended nothing happened and walked away.

Then I thought back, and realised that not ONE single Asian actually stopped to help me before. Even though we all know how many of us Asians are here in Auckland. Even in situation where I was helped where there were Asians around, they're never the one who helped me.

Ok. What's up with that?

I know that maybe in an Asian country stopping to help people may seem like a sign of weakness or something. But you can't blame people for being prejudice against you if you don't even help your own people! Honestly, how much work does it take to make sure someone who's fallen is alright?

Normally Asian guys get annoyed with me when I said I prefer not to date Asians because I've yet to find a polite, well mannered and cultured Asian boy. (besides bananas...) It's basic manner people. Make sure someone who's fallen is actually alright. Keep the door open for someone walk in behide you. That doesn't really take much! I know there's a population problem but you don't really have to make yourself obnoxious by being absolutely oblivious about basic manner people!

And people wonder why I have problems with my Asian idendity. Geez.
