Inori no Uta (Hymn of the Fayth)
I am in a chatty moood. My fever came and went. I am now left with a slight runny nose and residual headache that threatens to put me in a bad bood the whole day but I think in a day or two I should be as good as new.
Over the weekend I went to Strudels in Bangsar for my usual Sunday breakfast which I haven’t been able to do for the past 3 months due to a variety of reasons. It sounds so yuppie and frivolous, but a long time ago I decided that I am going to set aside a few hours for myself every week to catch up on my reading or thinking or whatever and I found that the best time to do that would be either at 4pm on a Saturday afternoon or 8am on a Sunday morning. The routine is simple, I wake up, take a shower, put on old clothes, grab my slingback and the stuff that I want to read or work on, flag a taxi and head down to Bangsar. Then, I will go to the morning market and buys flowers (always gerberas, and if that is not available, orchids or chrysanthemums) and then head to the nearby kedai mamak for magazines and newspapers.
Then, I’d head to Strudels, order a cup of coffee and a piece of cake or pasta, depending on how long I intend to waste, and sit there for hours until I am done with all my reading. I’ll call home to see if the people at home needs any groceries (they always do) and call a few friends to see if they want to hang out for the rest of the day. Only then I will get out of my bubble and join the living population.
Am listening to a lot of different things these days. Partly for inspiration, partly to see how the other side lives. Soundtracks have always been an area of interest.
Right now I am listening to a music clip called Hymn of the Fayth from the Final Fantasy 10 soundtrack. If you’d like, you can download the song here:

Look for Hymn of Fayth. This version starts with a female voice, followed by drums. Ethereal and scary in a sad way. When you hear it for the first time while playing the game, I swear the hairs at the back of your neck will stand. It’s a beautifully crafted piece of music. Give it a go.
