I love smooth jazz, urban jazz, vocals, vocal classical, film score, indie, alternative,world,celtic, and blues, reggae, folk, soft rock, classic rock, . I never get bored of them. I can listen to them over and over again. I listen to them most days. Easily 4 days in a week when working and I have no complain and I can still listen to it when I am at home. My iPod and my collection of disc on my table is nothing more then jazz and blues. I have a combination of all genre in my iPod. I listen to Chris Botti, Diana Krall, Michael Buble, Stacey Kent, Emi Fujita, Thelonious Monk, Dave Koz, Norah Jones, Louis Armstrong, Miles David, Ray Charles, James Brown, Sting, Buckshot LeFonque, Air, Chaka Demus & Pliers, Damien Rice, Janet Siedel,Kings of Leon, Nujabes and so on. 

Chris Botti said  ” To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever,”

Isn’t it funny that its not 25th Nov yet then I know it is 1 month to Christmas. I am already feeling Christmas. I remember doing non coverage to decorate the store. I felt I was in London or New York. Sigh, outside isn’t snowing. But it isn’t that bad because the wind is still blowing cold. Although it is spring to summer the weather is more like autumn mid winter. I like the beginning of spring and thats it. I hate late spring to the beginning autumn. We no longer play jazz, indie or blues but Christmas carols. I find myself singing Christmas carols when I am working. Sometimes customer laughs. This morning as I was on the bar, I was singing “I’ll be home for Christmas”. And I was like ” I’ll be home in Christmas in only in my Dreams. I was yeah ! In my dreams ! My shify overheard me and he was like what ? I said. . Nothing like going back home for Christmas. I can still stand not celebrating Chinese New Year for 2 years and 09 but not Christmas with family. That’s why the carol is called ” I’ll be home for Christmas ” and family equals to home. This year will be 2 years that I am celebrating Christmas without my family.My excuse for last year was because my ex’s mum and brother was here in Sydney and I wanted to celebrate with them because I do not know what will happen next year 08. 

Perhaps the Missing Piece in my heart is celebrating Christmas @ Home.
