Rein it in

It has been raining for the past two days and I don't see it ending any sooner. Therefore, instead of bitching non-stop about the dastardly weather, why not think of ways to complement it?

(5.) I Feel Good by James Brown

So there you have it, my personal top 5's for rainy nights in the month of december. Sorry for the lack of mandarin songs, not a really big fan of them. Honourable mentions go out to Forver Love by Wang Lee Hom and Superwoman by Cao Ge though. And needless to say, top whatever lists always stirs up a hornet's nets but then again...oh nevermind.

Bitching is always healthy but not about rain and more rain. Like how much can one bitch about rain and rain that hardly stops for two continous days? Give it a break, complement instead of competing.

Do stay tuned for Jan's Top 5s list. I only serve to please...master/mistress...
