Check Your Head

'Excuse me, I think I almost lost it.'

SNAFU lately. Last few days was hectic. I was juggling between work and life ("I know you have one too"). It has been one of those days where you wish that Friday was only an hour away. Situation where, after you have finished up your responsibility at work, only to find another one when you reach home. I know our responsibility in life stays there forever and we could only seek 2 days a week of comfort away from work. Weekend is such a bless.


I've been going through some music videos in Youtube recently, and it has been a bit of walking down my memory lane. Music is a powerful thing. When you listened to an old tune, your mind brings you straight where you were in the past. I could still feel the steering wheel of my mom's old car, a no 'power-steering' Datsun, heading up to my college in Subang along the Federal Highway route while listening to Duncan Sheik's "Barely Breathing" on radio. That song recalls me right at that spot, whenever I listen to it. I could also remember listening to Beastie Boys "Body Movin", while heading up for a night out at a club in Eastin Hotel (gosh, can't remember the name) years and years ago.

Music and memory recall. A search from the net showed that many studies have found that music aids the storage and recall of information in the human memory. "The rhythm and melody of a familiar song provide a structure for 4 learning new information, a distinctive memory record, and effective retrieval cues".

Well, whatever it is, I think it is worth taking a walk down in Youtube sometimes.
