Day 4

Study for the whole afternoon in the hot office (almost suffocated when I was about to leave, can I request for purchase of air-conditioning??), so I go to HMV for window shopping to reward myself.

I was attracted by Coldplay's new singles, "Speed of Sound", which released 18months after their last album. Their thrid album, "X&Y", will be released in early June.

As quoted from Chris Martin (vocal), "The songs are huge. The music is sometimes quiet and intimate but at other times builds to a massive, layered sound that breaks new ground for Coldplay. The lyrics are about big subjects like life and death, love and loss, about being fascinated by the world around us but also about accepting that something can never be fully understood. In mathematics X and Y were always the answers, but in life no one knows. The album is about those unanswerable questions, and what you should do about the fact that you can't explain all the unknown variables." (http://www.coldplay.com/site.php)

Yes, in life there's no definite answer. Looking from another perspective, there are too much variables to make our lives unique from one another. What we can do is to enjoy at its most, and seize our days.

Just share with you one of the songs in their singles:

Things I don't understand
how tides control the sea
and what becomes of me
how little things can slip out of your hands

how often people change
no two remain the same
why things dont always turn out as you plan
these are things that i dont understand
yea these are things that i dont understand

and i cant decide
wrong from right
oh my day from night
oh the dark from light
but i love this life

how infinite is space
and who decides your fate
why everything will dissolve into sand

how to avoid defeat
where truth and fiction meet
why nothing ever turns out as you plan
these are things that i dont understand
yea these are things that i dont understand

and i cant decide
wrong from right
oh my day from night
oh the dark from light
but i love this life
