PAIN & PLEASURE

The amount of pain I went through this AM, ohmigod. Awoke at 6AM thinking the world was going to end.

And then it only got worse, all the way up to 11AM, where I almost could not stand straight or walk. The cashier at 7-11 had to ask if I wanted a glass of hot water.

Maybe my pain threshold is low, then how to give birth?! Tsk.

If you think a severe bout of gastric flu is bad, think again.

In other news, I stumbled upon a Kevin Kern classic and all of a sudden, and as always, got transported back in time, circa 2001-2002.

I wonder what Sherwin Tan is doing now. He basically sublimated from the surface of this earth! (Classic case of potentially right person, wrong timing - also known as the CZC effect in my books). The last time I heard, he was studying in LSE, but anyway he obviously doesn't want to remain friends, so I'm not going to make the effort.



It's funny although I have almost zilch memory of him years on (other than the spider story he told me that was meant to ameliorate the almost "estranged" relationship we had then, but instead made me crack up until I grew a set of abs that night) -- but he brought me to a concert that made my eyes open to the world of new age style piano recital. What a brilliant pianist this prodigy is - Kevin kern, a Mozart of our times.

I remember sitting in the concert hall, and although Sherwin was beside me, everything seemed to get drowned out, I was mesmerized by the sounds this man was making. And I couldn't help but realize that there must be a God, a God of music!! How else could talent like that be birthed out of nothing, it must be inherited!



Anyway, my memory is fuzzy but somehow, I have run askew from what I intended to say - this always happens mid thought, I am sooo bad at keeping a train of thought - Isn't Kevin Kern AWESOMENESS in a nutshell?!?
