I pulled up the intranet at work this morning to check my email. Bottom right corner of the page displayed a huge banner for Black History Month. The background was pitch black, with white words written across it. Does that seem wrong to you or is it just me?

It’s been so long since I last posted something. Damn work is taking all my time (and my hair) away from me. I’m contemplating on giving up my position and just be a slacker pharmacist.

I’m not sure what the little misses has in the bag, but if it is what I think it is from the two upper letters, it’s going to be a good Christmas.
Or maybe my it just says “Express” and I’m getting a shirt and a tie for Christmas, again.

Sometimes a small little logo is enough to make me wanna go green, like this little fella.
It pleases my eyes so much I instantly signed up for eBill.
That means I will have to start using toilet paper now instead of old bills.

I’d like to blame my long absence from blogging on my kick-ass social life. But the truth is, I’ve just been lazy. By the time I get home from work, I am so tired I just want to crash.
But now that the pharmacy is slowing down, I’ve got energy to whip up some cool posts for my cool readers (yep, the both of you).

Cam Ly finally abandons “nhac sen” and returns to what drew me to overseas production in the first place, Minh Vy’s ballads. Her latest release Em Khong The Quen features some spanking new tunes from Minh Vy but with the same old production value as 10 years ago. It’s a good thing because it provides depth and deters from the shallow, cheesy pop songs sung by aphonic 3-named singers nowadays. It’s also a bad thing because it makes Cam Ly sound like an uninspired, blasé housewife desperately in need of hot sex.
Barring 2 tracks, the rest of the album is passable. My favorite is the title track, where she sounds like the good ‘ole Cam Ly at the top of her fame, perhaps due to a tastefully arranged, sweetly executed violin string. In “Cafe Miet Vuon”, she plays the jealous housewife to a tee. Her chemistry with Quoc Dai turns the well versed song into an instant classic of “Giang Cau” caliber.
Em Khong The Quen may not be Cam Ly’s strongest release and offers nothing new. But having Minh Vy at the helm, it still delivers with 1000% more depths than most of the pop albums out there.
