Cruising Along to my Fav Tunes

You know, this semester, I’m looking forward to Mondays a lot. Mainly because I’ll be all alone in my car on the way to class! I can see myself enjoying it a lot, even if it’s for that short 10 minute ride. I need some ‘me’ time in the car too ya know..all alone, chilling out to my favourite tunes and taking my own sweet time to get to class, no need to worry about any passengers or whatever.

You see, ever since I got my car two years ago (towards the end of Foundation year) I’ve been giving my friends rides. I mean, it’s not that I don’t like giving them rides but it’s also not that I like giving them rides. The feeling is just neutral ey. But having them in the car really does feel like a hindrance to my ‘me’ time.

I don’t listen to English pop music, I listen to Korean and Japanese pop, and recently Mando pop. None of my friends here are like me so if I turn those music on in the car while fetching them around, they might think ‘what song is this? O.o’ and I’ll probably be thinking ‘are they judging me through the songs I like? O.O’ so I avoid playing them songs when they’re around. I don’t even turn on the radio when I’m fetching them around.

Another reason is that I know it’s kinda sucky to be in a car, listening to songs you don’t know/never heard off so for the sake of my passengers, I don’t listen to the songs I like and just turn on the FM some times. And the thing I hate the most when I do turn on my music is this question ‘ew..why are you listening to their music?’ or ‘eee…why must it be her music?!’ But of course, sometimes I am too lazy to bother about them and their thoughts and I just turn the radio on. hehe

I’ve taken a liking to Rainie Yang’s music these few months (not bad you know..totally my kind of music) and I think not many people appreciate her music. Some of my friends dislike her to bits (which I don’t get why..) and it kinda feels like when I was just getting into Girls’ Generation years ago. It’s exactly the same. Whenever I say a song is nice and like it a lot, turns out many people hate the artist to bits. Sad ey? haha
