The Random Things

I'm currently listening to the Hairspray soundtrack. It's really weird. I have no idea how to describe the whole experience. But I have to say that it's kinda growing on me also. A different experience definitely, so I could try to get used to it.

I really bought the soundtrack just for fun. I mean, how can you resist the colours?! Design-wise, using so many colours instantaneously kills your design. But in this case, it all just works wonderfully well together. I feel so happy just looking at it. Colour theory and the psychology of colour perception. That's one hell of a complex topic, I'm telling you.

Anyways, I particularly got drawn to Hairspray because Nikki Blonsky is plain adorable. Plus I also like Queen Latifah, so cannot blame me lah, huh.

Also, yesterday at work, I got myself a paper cut.



It was so stupid lah. I got cut by wrapping paper while trying to help a colleague wrap a gift. It's funny HOW MUCH PAPER CUTS HURT!

The defining moment when the paper sliced my finger, I totally felt my skin splitting IN SLOW MOTION. I froze up, but looked at the wound. I was definitely a tad queasy, plus it hurt so bad that I got into a brief state of shock.

Luckily I snapped out of it pretty quickly. I lazy to maintain pressure manually, so I took a plaster and just wrapped it tightly around my index. Then I continued to wrap the present. I discovered that my hands were trembling and I couldn't hold them still.

I took the photo this morning. I have to say what a hassle it was to take that macro shot of the tiny cut. I took like ten times over and that was the only shot that focused correctly on the cut on the finger.
