A long and tiring day compensated by music

Tired after searching a whole night for last year's stories on Colombia conflicts by three American newspapers. Felt like a chessman moved by others. The task has appeared time-consuming, especially after this noon's meeting with my program advisor who is going to have a presentation on such a topic in two weeks. I felt he himself had a hardly clear idea on what the piece will turn out to be; all was based on a rough assumption in order to suit the theme of the upcoming conference. I've started to regret taking the task to some extent. Although I was told that I would get sort of compensation for doing all this, that now is not so attractive to me. All I want is just to finish it ASAP. I can't afford spending too much time on this. Sometimes to say NO is not an easy thing, especially when you are asked a favor from your boss. I hope this effort will pay off some day.

Am listening to Miriam Yeung's 1997 album "Private Diary". Her third album. Very light-hearted and easy memodies sung in a next-door-girl-singing way. It helped ease my tiredness. Also, the album's style reminds me of that of the song "Flower and Alice". The link is here: http://www.imusic.cn/music/12157/

Talking of music, I came across a singer's earliest album yesterday. I know most of Leslie fans will dislike him (now you know who he is), yet the fact is that in that album, he sang two songs sung by Leslie as well, and it was just because that he had some contract issue with Capital Records' parent company TVB, so the songs, sung in 1985, were put on the shelf by the company until it was re-released after twenty years in a wave of re-distribution of antique albums. I know hard-core fans like Nian will not easily accept it, yet it is a fact. So pls listen to his these two songs, without prejudice：:)
