Thursday, August 31, 2006

It was pouring from morning til the late afternoon & it wasn't funny . I was late cos my dad wanted to fetch me to school & I was only late by a few mins . Luckily I wasn't the only 1 who was late . There were other people who came in even later than me so yeah haha

Wow finally at least for a change , today's workload that I got wasn't so bad as the past 3 days . Today I had Accounting which wasn't so bad & even though there wasn't any much homework given , I still stayed back a while to do notes for what Mr Marcus went though in the morning.

& after I did my notes , I dropped by Delifrance to order some pastries as I have a terrible terrible sweet tooth . i chomped down on a chocolate brownie & strawberry tart before I went to meet Daniel & even though it was still raining , it was ok cos I didn't brought my Accouting book today haha so kinda lessen my load . Wanted to meet him initally at his workplace but he SMS'd me saying to meet him at Chinatown Point's Coffee Bean instead at 4pm which's fine as he said that it will be more convenient for me as he didn't want me to get caught in the rain aww

So I reached the place probably about 3.45pm or something ? Did some work while I was there while waiting for Dan to swing by . He came about 4.15pm after completing an errand & mind you for once , the weather was raining & unlike previously where it was hot like mad.

He asked me what would I like to drink & being a sad case for not going to Coffee Bean that often , I was quite stumped for a while iterally before eventually choosing a regular ice blended chocolate regular size.I offer to pay but he was too nice insisted that he paid for it aww. Maybe next time I should buy him a whole jug of beer if that's the case haha

Then after that we started to talk over stuff , mainly music & also a bit of what I'm going though now . I feel kinda bad in that I kept on moaning & whining to him that life in Uni's tough cos he has been there & done that so he totally understand what I'm going though at this moment but it was so nice that he bothered to listen to my nonsense.

I showed him the pamplet of my degree course that I'm currently doing as I don't think he really knows the Uni that I'm getting my degree from & also was telling him about next week's awards ceremony that I'm attending with my parents in which he was happy for me cos he was saying such events don't come by very often.

& yes this time I brought & showed him the academic medal that I got , the 2nd one to be exact when I got it during my graduation in April.The last time I met him , I forgot to bring -.-

& also I appericate the fact that he took some time off from his work despite his busy schedule just to talk & catch up on things with me even though the chat lasted barely an hour or so . Was asking him about this weekend's lineup of gigs & this Sat's gig at the official opening of the home academy will be a really sad case man.

They will be only doing 2 songs as I mentioned before at 8pm even though the concert's 7-9pm . He was lamenting that people might not come just to see Electrico perform but rather they would come only for the rest of the artistes who were performing oh dear.

But I was wondering why they still want to do this gig even though I do know that they have a manager who coordinate & arranged for gigs for them to do right now but it's due to the $ factor & after he told me about the figures for this Sat's gig at the academy , I was quite shocked.

I will not say how much's it but it's quite a steal , no wonder they wouldn't mind doing it even though tomorrow they have to do soundcheck for which Dan's SO NOT looking forward to . The Home Team Academy's located around Old Chua Chu Kang Road so you can imagine , it's so far & quite ulu.

Not to mention , the Waterfest in which they will be doing on Sat & Sun respectively . Sat I can't go cos have to go back to my paternal grandparents's house for dinner . Sun I will be going & this kinda will be the last gig that I will be going before putting the 'whole going to Electrico gigs' on hold as I want to concentrate on my exams/tests that're just around the corner.

Somemore my mum can't stop me from going this weekend as she wouldn't be in town haha

Need to ask a few favours or so from the band again . Haiyo , at this rate , I need to buy more cans of Tiger Beer . -.-

He was so sweet & said that it's not necessary that I should come for every single of their gig but ah that's just him being thoughtful I suppose heh & was going on about S'pore Idol as well . Cracked a few jokes or 2 on it , especially on the part where Paul & Jonathan covered Electrico's songs last week.

Luckily he didn't watched it not even the encore or else I can really imagine .

I also asked him about last Sat's Amazing Race Asia tour that they did in Suntec on how much $ they got from playing 2 sets . It's quite a decent amount after quizzing him on it .

& ooh I have to mention this in which Dave did a solo show at Happy which he did 2 sets yesterday from 11pm-1am & you're not gonna believe this but Happy's a gay bar !

Dan went for it & he dished me the dirt on how things went . Dave did covers but from what he said , the turnout was quite huge & yes , a lot of gay men were there but luckily no one went up to Dave & ask him for you know what haha . My hair kinda stand when he told me about this , it was funny on whole & both of us were laughing on this , it was pretty hilarious . Before that , I didn't know such a bar exist & not to mention it's located quite near my mum's workplace !

& he told me some secret confidential stuff in which I was like NOT AGAIN when I sorta asked him about it as he was rambling about it . Ah the perks of knowing a rock star mwahaha & not to mention inside stuff but on whole was grateful that he's willing to tell me about it & yeah I promised not to tell anyone on what it's all about .

Considering the fact that I only got MySpace barely 4-5 months ago , was kinda surprised when the rest knows me quite well when I finally met everyone at the ndp countdown gig . I was curious so I asked him on what exactly he has been telling the rest about me cos it was only recently I started to communicate with the rest.

He told me that he just told the rest on what I had been doing for them as pratically I have been supporting & helping them in every aspect since Oct 2004 . Yeah that's long isn't it ? It's definitely swell to help them . I would have done the same for any other acts I like , not just for Electrico so really happy to help them in everyway I can.

Not to forget , I was 'begging' him whether can he give me a wake up call next Mon ehehehe cos my parents wouldn't be around . He said that he will only get up at 8am ! Meh cannot lah , around that time I will be at the bus stop & he suggest that I use my handphone's alarm to do so -.-

Erm right... probably I do that I don't know haha . Was also showing him the ringtones that I did & put inside my phone . I have the whole album of Hip City + some songs from Lunarin inside & since I'm bored easily sticking with 1 sms & ringtone , I thought I changed both of them daily hehe

Also he was telling me that FINALLY someone has came to help him lessen his workload . The new guy came to his workplace this Mon & Dan's very bad man , SMS'd me yesterday as I asked him about it & he was commenting some rather shameless stuff he said about the new guy . Haiyo , he's not shy at all tsk tsk

I showed him the SMS eariler & I was mocking at him on what he sent me & he was going on 1 thing or 2 about the new guy even though techincally he's only a 1 year older than Dan & even said some other things as well which I was going HUH & -.- big time . You just have to imagine what he said cos I think I will get into trouble should the new guy's reading this haha

Well I guess it's true cos Dan definitely doesn't look like his age at all mwahaha not saying that he's old but ahahaha it's the fact ! He was asking when's my birthday as he was keying some data into his handphone . When comes to the year that I was born , when I said 1987 , he said that I'm still young . Yeah right I'm not dude & he was teasing me in that whether I wanna switch places with him -.- . So much for being thoughtful tsk

I never got the chance to ask him about what his parents does & all even though I did asked him on Tue but it's either his or my phone suck cos certain stuff he said , I can't hear at all but luckily I asked him about his folks before we left.

Was nice & wonderful seeing him & catching up on things no doubt about it . He gave me another autographed copy of Hip City even though actually I just wanted the album sleeve but he was so kind , gave me everything haha .

I will see him & the rest this Sun & I would love to meet up with him again after he comes back from reservist :)

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Been so exhausted & burnt out for the past 3 days including today . I was buried underground iterally with tons of homework & it isn't a funny sight to begin with.

At this moment , the situation's quite tense in some ways or another . It's like after 1 day completing my work , the next I was given the same exact & amount of work . Ugh it suck & not to mention considering the fact that yours truly can't possibly be arsed to study & do work at home , I have to do notes & work in the school's library so the past few days been staying in school til almost 6pm even though officially my hours are only 9am-12pm.

Not to mention my tests & exams are all knocking on my door which's quite terrible if you ask me but I'm taking 1 step/day at a time.I don't want to see everything as a big pic or else I will be really scared even though at times I'm.

But I try to bear in mind & remember on the numerous great advice & tips that Dan gave me or has been giving me so yeah... & if you don't see me posting or updating that often , you know the reason on why I'm MIA in advance.

So Serene , since you're going over to UK soon , be careful hor , you might be suffering the same 'fate' as me next month mwahaha

Sometimes I dread school , I really do ! Not so much on facing people that I don't like or don't want to see , it's more of the homework/mugging for exams or tests that I really really HATE .

Yesterday had a long day in school , today later on already can foresee another even long day for me & both Serene & Dan said that my life's good yeah right -.- . I will have 2 lessons today , Econs (again!) in the morning while later on in the afternoon Accounting . Supposed to have Acc last Thurs but was rescheduled to today . Which explains why I'm able to attend last Wed's Bar None gig haha

Feels like yesterday that I stayed back in school til almost 5.30pm when I 1st started my 1st semester in ITE . Everyday except Fri I stayed back til 5.30pm which was mad . 2nd semester was the worst & it's a miracle how I managed to survive back then *cough cough*

Sept & Oct are going to be the worst for me , lots of exams,tests coming my way in due time & naturally can't be arsed to study/mug for it . I will lose tons of brain cells I tell you ! But man sometimes it's really hard to juggle everything in my life & not to mention most recently , starting to live a double life .

Poor me , so much so that I couldn't wake up on the dot this morning . I usually get up at 6.30am but today overshot to 6.50am -.- . Sugar withdrawal's my lame reason for waking up late . So much so that I had to take a bottle of Brand essence of chicken to refresh myself.

I saw that Electrico are gonna perform in more gigs to come in their MySpace account . This week , they will be doing 3 gigs , 2 on Sat (3pm & 8pm but no it's at different venues & timeslots differs too) while 1 on Sun . I'm thinking whether to go for the 1st gig on Sat , the 3pm gig which's the Water Festival.

They will be performing at the Water Festival on Sun also , the same timeslot but don't think I will be going for it as I have to stay at home bah

Not going for the 8pm gig cos it's kinda lame man . They will be doing 2 songs only & what for I go haha . For the Water Festival , I think they will be doing a full set in which it's more pratical but don't know man , already told Serene that I want to lay off going for their gigs at the moment but then she's going away to UK next month so unofficially or not , I'm stuck being her 'sidekick' d'oh

Don't know man , see how things goes cos this Fri nite til next Mon nite , I will be home alone with the other 2 hee hee so more or less during that period of time , I will be the mistress of the house again mwahaha

Full of interesting incidents that I experienced today . Well not say interesting but kinda memorable , sorta.

I was at the library this afternoon doing notes & my homework for Econs with Rachel & Lu Yong when something rather eerie happened in broad daylight . There were 4 computers in the library at the 8th floor & the 2nd computer from the left started to act really weird !

How weird's weird ? Does the fact that it managed to switch on on its own & then someone or something started to surf the net , open new windows count ? I was staring at the computer without flinching for 10 mins or so & kinda went pale & stuff . I was nudging Rachel who was sitted beside me & then I pointed that to her . What's worst was that the mouse wasn't moving at all ! Even though the arrow on the computer was moving , clicking new windows to open & all !

For some reason , she didn't really react at all -.- & it's like I'm the only person in the library who managed to take notice of it . Everything only resumed to normal after someone (this time a person) sat on the chair & used it & then everything was ok .

But woah , can you imagine ? such a ghostly encounter that happened in broad daylight . Man....

Needing a break from after seeing what had happened , I went down to grab some grub or 2 from McDonalds . After I ordered a takeaway , I was walking out of the place when my eyes met someone who was in my former primary school uniform.

That girl in uniform was staring at me for a while , I thought what happened . Eventually cos I don't want trouble from staring un-necessarily , I walked out quickly . Then she sorta chased after me , asking whether am I Hui Li or not LOL

I was like eh she knows Hui Li but then I told her I wasn't but haha thought that was quite cool & I asked her what's her name & all & I recalled Hui Li talking about her a few times so yeah..

Then after I left school at 5.45pm , I bumped into Ms Yeo ,my ex form teacher from ITE at the NTUC . With her was her maid & her cute baby daughter awww . Her daughter was so cute & it was definitely a surprise seeing her as the last time I saw her was during my graduation in April.

We talked for a while & I appericated on what she had done for me & that she & Dan talked me out when I was in a very bad emotional slump in April/May so really thankful in that she cares . I was hoping that she would turn up next Wed for the graduation/awards ceremony for the East division but so far she hasn't got invitations yet but hopefully I will see her next Wed !

Was talking to Hui Li a while eariler & I asked her how does her friend Jing Wei think about Electrico's 2nd album . She said that Jing Wei liked The Anthem which was great ! I also liked it as well , really hope that Electrico will release it as their 2nd single but I doubt so cos of internal happenings but still , glad that Jing Wei liked it as she apparently couldn't stop singing in class going on "We're not made in the USA but you got what you paid for anyway.."

Saturday, August 26, 2006

Before I start , let me just say that ironic much or not , it has been exactly 1 year since I 1st saw Electrico's performance ! yup that's right , way back in 26th Aug 2005 , was the 1st time I saw their performance at the sold out Sound Therapy gig at The Esplanade so essentially or not , today's kinda special sorta.

OK , enough on the intro , let's get started . I went to meet Serene at CityHall MRT station about 12.40pm or so . I reached the place around 12.25pm cos was stuck in a bloody damn traffic jam in Bukit Timah so kinda off set a bit . She was also caught in a jam too but no worries , still managed to meet her even though actually I reached the place at 12.15pm but decided to sneak into Perlini Silver a while just to look at the blings blings heh heh

So the both of us went to a corner of Suntec City to eat a thing or 2 , definitely not like go to a cafe or restaurant to eat cos there wasn't much time before Electrico take centrestage for their 1st set at 1.30pm in that they were playing for the Amazing Race Asia Tour.

Went to have some snacks or 2 & wah lau , you can imagine , I ate so much it wasn't funny & strangely enough , now I can't really stomach deep fried foods & they just don't taste as good as before & I started to get sick in the gut & had a really weird queasy feeling . Maybe next time I should stick to something else...

While eating , I talked to her over what happened yesterday & stuff , she was understanding & all but nah I decided to face the music & acknowledge the fact that getting upset & emotional over a trival issue's just plain stupid . Somemore I cannot forever run & avoid the problem completely .

Around 1.25pm or so , the both of us made our way to the Entertainment Centre Atrium where the place was screaming The Amazing Race Asia Tour promo all over & the stage was quite big . Well at least bigger than Bar None & we haven't even finished our food yet at this time -.- so decided after the 1st set was done , we eat again haha

At 1.30pm , the 1st set Electrico did began . They kicked start with Walk which was great , followed by Electricorp. & Love In New Wave . Serene & I both felt like idiots in someway or another cos it's like only the both of us were moshing to their songs & the crowd wasn't happening in any bit -.- & even though people were taking the escalator & were just checking out their music & all , the feeling wasn't that kicking .

It's like the guys were just playing & jamming in a normal recording session so to speak & when the guys 1st came on stage , I was like eh how come Dan's wearing shades ??? & mind you it's indoors somemore -.- . While watching them performed for 15-20 mins or so , my mind was full of ??? but hey at least this time , he got space to jump around while playing his lead guitar haha

So after their 1st set ended , me & Serene went at the back of the stage to disturb them haha . Dave , Des & Amanda saw us & said hi to me before eventually Dan came along as he was busy with something & nah I didn't like cracked under pressure while I went to meet Dan .

It's weird but that whole insecure feeling that I had just disappeared when I talked to him & I was going on in that the crowd wasn't happening & quite dead & he said that such shows is like a take $ & run kinda situation in which I agree . & he forgot to bring something important for me *cries* I wanna clobber him to death ! Nah just joking he's a really sweet guy & besides I can always get that from him another time even though he was saying that while he was driving to Suntec to do soundtrack at 10.45am , it was only then in the car that he remembered about it -.-

I talked to him about 10 mins or so before they went outside to do an interview & well a smoke break.

1 hour or so before their next set , so Serene & me went back to the corner of the Entertainment Centre Atrium where it screams out food food & more food galore ! I ordered a plate of rosti & bloody hell it's damn fricking good ! & we talked somemore rubbish , blah blah blah & she does know what happened yesterday but after talking to Dan eariler , I wasn't so uneasy & uncomfortable meeting & talking to him so officially I'm alright !

Their 2nd set came swiftly & this time Serene's friend Mei Sum came along to watch . They did I Want You 1stly & wow was so glad that they did it live cos I haven't heard it being done live in a very long time . They did this live during Sound Therapy so brought back lots of great memories.

In which was followed by Stay Away & Hip City & compared to the 1st set , the 2nd set wasn't as good as the 1st bcos some idiot & loser switched off the speakers & not to mention the microphones for the keyboards & bass !!!

So when the solo keyboard part for Stay Away came along , I was like eh I thought Amanda supposed to play around this time ? What happened ? Cos Dave , Dan & Will were filling in for her & not to mention the microphones were acting really weird , couldn't really heard Dave speak.

After things wrapped up , we all went back to the stage again & sorta was complaining to Leonard & Dan on it & apparently the speakers were switched off cos people & the management complained that the sound was too loud -.- . HELLO too loud ?! It's a performance you wuss , can't you just have fun like for 15 or 20 mins ?? I have a bucket of rotten eggs in the basket now , want to pelt everything at them at this moment !

Dan was skimming though the Today weekend paper that I got & was asking him about next week's gig which other acts & themselves will be performing at the official opening for the Home Team Academy . Even though the gig's 7-9pm , they will be performing at 8pm but only will be doing 2 songs -.-

That's definitely will be take $ & run again & so's today which's kinda typical but was pretty funny , was laughing & joking with him on that . I also asked him about his finger in which he got hurt on Wed during the Bar None gig. & was mocking at him eariler how come he was wearing shades on stage.

I thought it's bcos he didn't wear contacts or something but nope , he said that he wore them to look cool -.- . Dude you're cool enough already , don't need to up the cool factor !

Serene got a free bag with the AXN & Amazing Race logos stuck on it from Dan in which Leonard was using it when I saw him eariler . Initally I thought it was a labtop bag but after opening it , it wasn't . It's a normal sling bag but a big haversack pouch is included in it . Dan gave me at 1st but I didn't want it cos I have too many bags at home already !

Amanda's going away on a short trip tomorrow to do promo for the movie she acted in which's called Be With Me & attending some flim festival there in Russia so I hope she will spread some love of Electrico once she's there & was telling her that she's representing the band & the cast of the movie she's in haha

Overall , as compared to Wed's gig , today's better . I don't know why but I like to add that this's the 1st time I actually seeing them performed in the afternoon , as compared to the other gigs where they usually start at night.

But yeah , I enjoyed the gig & I would like to meet Dan to catch up on things next week before he's heading back to the army to get 'tortured' for 2 weeks haha aka reservist & not to mention he's going to get his hair cut wheeeee

Save me the trouble & effort in using a pair of scissors to do the job instead ehehehe

-----------------------------

So after saying our goodbyes to the guys , I went to Ben & Jerry to have ice cream & this's gonna sound shocking but this's the 1st time I have Ben & Jerry ! I know I'm such a wuss but I tell you the prices you have fork out there are not cheap but it's worth it cos their ice cream flavors are damn good !

Cos of the fact that I don't know what to order , so Serene helped me in recommending the flavors that're worth trying . I tried the dublin mudslide , chunky monkey & chocolate fudge brownie & outta the 3 flavors , I L.O.V.E the chocolate fudge brownie the most ! It tasted really seductive & usually I don't like fudge brownie & stuff but this's an exception !

After that , I walked all the way back to Raffles City cos wanted to buy some blings blings from Perlini Silver as the outlet in Suntec , only 1 person was serving & helping customers -.- d'oh

I went all crazy & spent S$71 on new blings blings , a new pair of snowflake earrings , a new hearts bracelet , a new necklace chain (as the only chain that I have's quite thick aka the type that rappers wear , yeah that thick ) & a new pendant which's my zoadic sign Capricorn & also I bought a new care kit cos the cleaning solution that I currently have , it's running out of steam so kinda went crazy eariler at the shop , buying like mad . Only thing that I didn't buy was a ring haha as I don't like rings in general. Can't stand the feeling of something being stuck in my fingers & that it might not come out once I wear them :S

Haha , this week on Singapore Idol's Spectulars , the theme was Asian Pop where the contestants had to sing 2 songs , 1 in English while the other in their mother tongue . Paul Twohill & Jonathan Leong did Electrico's songs respectively HAHA

Which's quite cool man ! Electrico found out about it on Wed night & jokingly dubbed Wed 'Electrico Night' hahaha & eariler Ch5 played it on encore & I only watched the parts where Paul & Jon performed.

Paul was 1st & he did I Want You in which to me it's not bad but I wasn't buying the way he moved on stage , it looked quite gross & obscene to me :S & also he couldn't hit the high notes just like Dave . But overall decent effort & I laughed at the last part where he went 'you give a god damn shoes' haha

Jon performed later on with Runaway & initally I thought it was quite terrible cos I only saw a snippet of his performance on Thurs but turned out that it wasn't as bad as I thought it will be . Just that the only thing I didn't liked was that he sounded MONOTONE all the way.

But overall for both of them , at least they did justice to the songs but eariler when Electrico did I Want You live , it was done much much better wahaha

Ok right , I caught Love Wrecked this afternoon after I had lunch with Angeline & trust me , it's not as bad as what Today paper wrote & slammed about , with them giving the movie a pathetic 1/5 .

Honestly it's not that bad ! Even though the plot was quite cheesy & limp but still , it's a decent movie . Amanda Bynes was cool & quirky in a good way & WOOOO , hot guy alert hot guy alert !

I seen the poster of Love Wrecked & Chris Carmack of The O.C fame plays Jason Masters , a rock star . Initally I find him kinda cute but I SWEAR , after watching the movie , it's not Amanda but Jonathan Bennett who plays Ryan aka Amanda's character long time best friend & eventually boyfriend that stole the show !

He's SUPER cute & boyish & I SWEAR that he looks like a younger version of Brendon Routh who plays Superman/Clark Rent in Superman Returns !! When I saw him in the movie just now , I was like THUD , who's that cute & hot dude ?! & yes as you can see , I can't stop falling in love aka crushing over cute guys who act in movies . Gee , I sound like Clover suddenly haha

I didn't know his name so I stayed back a while to check the ending flim credits hehe & if you find his name/face familar , that's bcos he acted in Mean Girls.

But yeah in general , I like the story of Love Wrecked cos in some ways or another , it's something that I relate to.


After wed gig , I started to question myself in certain issues in which I must add some of them are not pleasant to speak of . I started to question myself am I taking things too far as in supporting Electrico & etc ?

I'm in 1 of my weird & deep thinking mood again & I did talked to Jen , Serene & Suzy about this then I realised that I'm just probably over-reacting or something . I mean it will be a really big waste if I just quit suddenly & don't support them & just drop everything like that like a bombshell cos I been supporting them for quite a while now & at this moment , it has got to a stage where it's pretty personal in that I met & know the members aside from Dan.

They know what I have been doing for them all along I suppose & they appericate every single little or big thing I had done , I'm sure the same reaction is received from other people who support them as well..

So ya maybe it's just me but I think I will be ok . Later on going to watch Love Wrecked & before that , will be meeting Angeline again for lunch during her break.

Just wanna get this outta my chest but you know me , I love these guys to death & at the end of the day , it's all about the music in which I'm supporting for , mainly.

& oh I will be seeing them perform again tomorrow at Suntec with Serene & we're going to have lunch & go for both time slots that they're performing in haha . It's only a 15 mins set for each but who cares ? They're still gonna play anyway , just that I hope the crowd this time will be better & more lively instead of dead at bar NONE ( geddit ? )

{Bar None Rock Affair Soundcheck & Before Gig Details}

I arrived at the hotel around 4.45pm ++ or so & man it was SO cold like iterally both in the hotel lobby & inside Bar None! & I thought the cold indoor weather that I experienced everyday in school was bad.

Dan , Amanda & Des came around like 5.20pm ++ or so . I followed them down to Bar None cos I want to see how & what they do during the soundcheck . The members of opening act Auburn Epiphany were already inside when I went downstairs & they were nice people , said hi to them & even talked to the lead singer Inch Chua a while in the toilet (of all places ! can you imagine ??)

As for the fact that I never been to a soundcheck , so didn't really know what to expect but essentially what they do is to set up the equipment & test the sound system & played some songs while testing.

Dave was the last person in the band to come for the soundcheck & when everything was settled , the soundcheck began.It lasted almost 2 hours or so . Some of the songs they did during soundcheck were Only Where I'm Going , Electricorp. & a bit of Love In New Wave & Good Time.

After the soundcheck concluded or so , I asked the guys to help me in the favours that I asked them for & they were so nice in helping me in them & this time around , managed to talk to them a bit more than last time so it was a really cool feeling while I was sitting at the long stool while they were helping me out .

While that happened , I saw Leonard's friend Elsa & I recongise her from the conversations she exchanged with Leonard on MySpace . She's so pretty & it's not fair I tell you ! but she's a nice person .

Amanda likes to design stuff from what she told me & was glad that she was designing the envelopes & then Des also helped too while also helping out Auburn Epiphany during their soundcheck .

Around this time , I showed Amanda the 'surprise' 1st which's I let her hear my current ringtone in my phone & I think she's more than surprised when I played that for her to listen . Or so I think lah . I asked Dave about his phone cos I realised that he wasn't using the same phone as the rest & told/asked him is it because he smashed his old phone which resulted in him using a different one.

After they helped me out , everyone except Dan & Will went out to have dinner at the food court & before that , I saw that they had a guest list at the counter cos security was checking who's who in the guest list & guess what ? my name was on it among many others haha

I was like wow , so damn nice of them to put my name in the guest list so yup you guess it , I don't need to pay for cover charge at all wahaha

I didn't realised that Leonard was actually on a diet or so I think cos what I ordered really tempted him to go & ordered the stuff that I had for dinner ! so real sorry ! & Dave was going on about the huge portions of food that Amanda , Leonard & he had when they were in LA a few months ago when they flew there to do the mastering for the album . & also going on something about a big fat burrito that's so big like iterally .

The food court was quite crowded to the extent that Dave joked that he wanted to go & buy Burger King & that he will eat it at the road side -.- . I thought he was just kidding but when I returned back , he really did bought Burger King ! Go figure !

Amanda was sitted beside me on the left while Dave was sitted beside my right . Des was sitted in front of me & oddly enough , Amanda , Des & I ordered the same stuff from the same stall !

Not really the same stuff but almost except that I ordered japanese curry with rice while the other 2 ordered it with udon noodles.

While everyone was eating , I played the ringtone & let the rest hear . I even put the demos that they did inside my phone too ! Was kinda surprised when Dave told me that the guys didn't like Everybody Sing & that he actually wanted to put that song inside the album !

Don't know why they don't like it cos I do but yeah it was pretty cool seeing their reactions when I played it & then around this time , Dave was telling everyone that I know what happened to his old phone & Leonard was saying that I know everything ! Even Amanda & Des doesn't really know what happened to Dave's old phone hahaha

Well , not really man . I don't really know everything , I hear bits & pieces from here & there but I think Dave's gonna cobble Dan big time cos Dan was the 1 who told me about this haha

Apparently , the S'pore Idol contestants did Electrico's I Want You & Runaway today during the performance show . Everyone was like !!! when we found out about it during dinner & it was quite hilarious , started to make some jokes & imagining how their reditions sound like & from Elsa's friend's sms , I Want You was butchered by Paul Twohill big time HAHA

& then everyone made their way back to Bar None where both bands have to prepare for both gigs .


{Bar None Rock Affair Details}

Was SMS-ing Serene cos I was quite bored & not to mention I feel quite out in the sense that I don't usually go pubbing & also I can't drink ! Serene was at work & due to some mis communications , she eventually came late for the gig but I was so glad that she managed to turn up despite being late & that she had to pay S$15 for cover charge & that she didn't even picked up her drink !

Before that happened , I talked to Dan for a while & I was sitted at the reservation section of the bar . He introduced me to his girlfriend Jacq & I tell you she's so beautiful in person , I'm officially jealous x2 . I seriously need to get some plastic surgery if I want to have a beautiful face !

Also I let him hear the ringtones that I did & he told me something nice which was great .

I saw Jacq's pic before in which Dan sent to me a while back but I can definitely tell you she looks waay better in person & he gave me a coupon in which I can redeem any drink off the counter but I tell you , me being such a wuss & an idiot in that I can't drink , I eventually ordered a glass of lime juice -.-

ANYHOO... the gig finally started at 9.30pm in which Auburn Epiphany kicked start things with a 30 mins set . Was the 1st time seeing them performed & I like their sound , they did a good job & was glad to witness their performance .

Electrico eventually took centre stage at 10.15pm & they kicked start with Only Where I'm Going followed by Electricorp. & Walk .

They did Teenage Queen soon after in which I was Yay-ing away & then Stay Away & Love In New Wave followed suit.Serene came around this time in which I was so glad even though she was late cos really man , it's no fun to rock out on your own according to her !

They slowed things down with Little Girl & was surprised when Dave said that this's the 2nd time they did it . Which means that the 1st time they did Little Girl was during the ndp countdown gig & yeah I'm quite biased , I like the live version of Little Girl .

That time I heard it at the ndp countdown gig , I loved it immediately ! there's just something about songs that sounds better when they're done live cos Serene was saying that she doesn't like the studio version of Little Girl but yet she prefered the live version . Me also tend to agree in this . No solid explaination on this.

A couple of old songs were done soon after which were Runaway & Good Time & then around this time , me & Serene were kinda right in front of the crowd cos initally we were at the back & then we moved forward.

Fever Fly was then launched & woah I love the guitar riffs of it , it's so rocking & has the whole mosquitoes buzzing feeling along with it & yes this song's all about dengue fever , not joking on this. I See The Light was next & this was the last song they did or NOT

Eventually everyone was going 1 MORE 1 MORE & they did 1 more song which was We're Not Made In The USA to close & wrap things up .

After which , the both of us went forward to say & talk to some things to the guys . Dan hurt his finger eariler while playing on stage poor thing . I'm not really sure what happened but I think a string from his guitar hurt him . I was holding & looking at his finger & it looked really painful.Where's the plaster when you need it eh?

Talked to him a while & then I moved on to talking to Amanda & Des at the side corner & said proper goodbyes to them & that we will see them perform again this Sat at Suntec .

Next was Will & Serene finally managed to talk & meet him face to face as she didn't got the chance to . Was telling & thanking Will in helping me & he almost blown my cover aka something about the favours that I asked for them eariler .

Luckily Serene didn't heard what he said as the pub was quite noisy but nah it's nothing really . She will find out what's it all about sooner or later heh

Couldn't find Dave after the gig concluded so the both of us went up to Dan before leaving the place . I told him that I was glad that I went for it & I think 1 of his friends took a pic with the 3 of us before I got things all wrapped up cos both our mothers were waiting for us at home . Not to mention he thanked me for able to come & to be there , the rest said the same thing to me too which made me go awww

In short , a curfew being imposed on we kids & eventually I reached home at 11.55pm cos for me really pointless to stay in the pub after the gig finished.

Overall , I can say that even though I enjoyed the gig , it wasn't as good as the ndp countdown gig that I went for . Probably because of the ambience as compared to the ndp one in which it was held at The Esplanade & that it was more 'kid friendly' & held outdoors , today's one was held at Bar None & in a pub that's full of people who smoke & drink , in which both I don't do at all !

Luckily my mum didn't had a go at me when I came back eariler but yeah , she's right . I'm not someone who likes to go pubbing & all & mentioned that it's totally not my character & told me not to go for such gigs that will be held in pubs/clubs again.

I will listen to her as I seriously think that this will be the last time I ever visit a pub to catch a gig or whatever as I don't like such places . Not to say that I didn't enjoyed the gig in which I did but maybe cos of the ambience which kinda let me down somehow.

People were drinking & smoking everywhere in which both I don't take too kindly for . Not to mention , I was almost losing my voice as I think I 'suck' in too much smoke or something but yeah it's horrible , I hate it .

I respect the guys & girl a lot & really appericated them for helping me in the favours despite their tight schedule but still , was glad that I went for it .

Next report to look out for which's this Sat at Suntec City & yes , me & Serene have decided to go for both time slots haha . Will meet her up for lunch before that & this time it will definitely be more 'kid friendly' & hopefully a better crowd will be there.

God I left school only at 6.20pm today & so far this's the latest I stayed behind . It's mad I tell you & definitely not fun when I spent almost 3 hours doing notes for today's Econs lessons & used the remaining time to finish my homework that was given eariler.

Luckily today's Econs & not tomorrow or else I will really rip all my Econs notes to shreds !

Cos I know for a fact that if I were to bring home my work , I can't be arsed to do it as there're too many distractions in my house so glad that I managed to accomplish what I wanted to accomplish eariler phew

Yesterday I was in a really pissy mood . I was a triple mega super bitch as I quarrelled with my mum over something that's totally pointless yet stupid . Something about tomorrow's gig that I'm going for but come to think of it , it's totally stupid .

I suppose that I should be glad that my mum allowed me to go for tomorrow's gig . What happened was that she initally wanted me to leave Bar None at 10pm & then I protested & you know what happened next , pratically a really ugly verbal catfight just erupted.

Doesn't help matters that I'm having 'that' thing so was more frustated & furious over this than ever . But after a while , things went ok I think & somemore if I were to leave early , it will be quite rude to just walk out of the door without saying a proper goodbye to Electrico & also I don't usually like to frequent such places .

Given a choice , I rather stay at home and sleep than to go pubbing & stuff but this's an exception . Somemore I don't drink & smoke so quite pointless for me to hang around in Bar None after that.

Then eariler my mum was giving me the face & was trying to scare me with things that might happen to me tomorrow . FFS , I'm not a kid anymore & somemore this's not the 1st time I'm going there so what's the problem ? That's the thing , I HATE being treated like a kid . I'm not 9 anymore ok ?

& oh yes I'm definitely definitely looking forward to tomorrow's soundcheck in the afternoon & later on at night the gig with Auburn Epiphany as Electrico's opening act & no I wouldn't be bringing any scissors along tomorrow haha *inside joke* & hopefully they will like the surprise that I have in store of them .

I just pray that I wouldn't snap & bitch in front of the guys & girl tomorrow cos really not in the best of mood now but I'm gonna try to be on my best behavior . Where's my halo when I need it now?

I guess everyone will be expecting a bumper crop of a review on Thurs from me then & hugs to Dan , Jenny & Linda for talking to me via MSN & SMS in getting over on that petty issue & I almost forgot , a shoutout to my new friend Fuzz & Maggie I'm sure you know who he's . He actually IM'd me on MySpace & over the past few days been talking to him on MSN & he's a really nice person & so far I enjoyed our chats which's great.

Maggie if you're on MSN & if Fuzz's on , say hi to him on my behalf !

I got back my results for my English reading test & bloody hell , I heaved a HUGE sigh of relief when I got back the paper cos I really thought that I would died big time as it was damn hard & somemore , I only got 1 hour to do it & it was a horrible paper which consists of 2 very difficult comprehensions.

Somemore I didn't had the time to check !

Thankfully , I scrapped though the paper with a score of 34/55 but luckily it's the summary that I did for the 2nd compre that really saved me cos I got 8/10 for it . If not , wah I will really die .

The paper consists of 10% & outta which , I got 6.18% . Miss Lo eariler commended on Tasha & that she did a wonderful job in her summary which's cool , good for her I say cos Tasha really deserves it .

Ironically , I called Dan at his phone a few mins ago before my paper was returned back . Cos I wanted to talk to him & asked him how's he as he was sick last week so thankfully he's alright & not to mention wanted to ask him whether can I tag along to the soundcheck this Wed even though I already asked Will & Amanda over the weekend.

He's alright with it woo hoo & has to let the folks at Bar None know that I'm going for it & that I'm coming cos to erm help them -.-

Cos for soundcheck , I think security's quite strict & certain parts of the place will be closed & sealed up & only a handful number of people are allowed inside Bar None .

I was telling him that I'm such a saddo & wuss cos I never been to a soundcheck before so don't know what to expect . He was laughing & sorta teasing me in that it wouldn't be something glamarous -.-

Not to forget , I need the guys's help in something as well . Initally I need 1 favour from them but now it's 2 ! I told him eariler & he is willing to help me in it yay & I think it will be really fun.

& before I hang up sorta in an abrupt manner cos lessons were about to begin again , I was groaning on the fact that I took a listening test before I called him & that I think I'm gonna fail for it cos the tape was played so soft & had to strain my ears to listen to whatever it's being played + telling him that before I put down the phone , I will be getting back the results to my reading test & that I will surely fail for it .

He was assuring me that I wouldn't & sure enough he was right haha ! During class , I SMS'd him & told him about it which's great.I also told him about the surprise that I have in store for him & the rest & he's looking forward to it & said that I'm sweet to do something like that awww :)

& thank god Linda told me a piece of really good news not too long ago that really cheered me up BIG TIME & I'm so grateful to her for hearing me whatever I vented out eariler to her on MSN . Thanks lady !

& who knows probably on Wed , I have to buy a jug of Tiger Beer for the guys or something I don't know haha see how on my mood hee

Sunday, August 20, 2006

Had a pretty fun time seeing Dila & Su-H yesterday at ITE Dover despite the really BORING briefing that all the award recipients of the West division had to undergo . It was so boring , I don't even know why I had to sit though something that's 1/2 hour long & that I was almost falling asleep during it.

I was given a pair of invitation cards & a stack of papers filled with instructions when I went to register at the counter . The instructions list was quite intimidating , I was reading though the whole stack while munching on food being provided during the reception .

Man I didn't expect that the graduation/awards ceremony that I will be attending for the East division next month is going to be so grand on a really big scale ! Apparently , almost 1000 guests will be expected including corporate guests & the media will be there !

Not to mention the guest of honour will be Mr Gan Kim Yong , Minister Of State , Ministry Of Education & Ministry Of Manpower .

Not surprisely , attire wise for that day will be nothing but formal & if I'm not in formal mode on that day , I wouldn't be alllowed to go up on stage to receive my awards as they wanna maintain a certain standard.

I almost fell asleep during the briefing as it was so boring . Finally after that ended , I thought I heard everyone heave a sigh of relief haha . So after that , me , Su H & Dila went to attack the food at the reception cos both of them came on an empty stomach . Go figure !

Managed to catch up with the both of them & it was nice hearing on what they're currently up to & things like that & yeah everyone all agreed that we all missed the good 'ol times during ITE & I so agreed that during the 2 years I spent in ITE , were the best in my entire school life .

--------------------------------

Was talking to Jenny on MSN & she's terrible , had to remain me that tomorrow I have to go back to school -.- . Thanks , I needed someone to remain me on that but she will kicked my ass big time if I said that I didn't enjoyed my holidays that happened during the past 2 weeks.

No doubt man , I had a wonderful time & yes it's soooo nice just to slack everyday & not doing any homework/revision & just come on the net every walking hour & not to mention , had a ball of a time catching Electrico during the ndp countdown gig & managed to meet & talk to the guys after that which's so cool !

& I'm really thankful to Dan for making that night really memorable for me hee hee

Going to do it all over again on 23th Aug , Wed & on 26th Aug , Sat as well . Already told the guys that I'm going for the Bar None Rock Affair & on Sat which's really exciting & eariler was deciding what to wear/bring & stuff with help from Hui Li .

I tell you she's destined to be a full fledged image consultant someday as her dress sense's way better than me as for me , mine's really rubbish & I'm sometimes helpless in this area & somemore , the lst time I went to Bar None , I was a total green horn , don't know what to expect on what people will wear in a bar so this time I'm sorta more prepared I hope.

I'm definitely looking forward to attending both gigs again even though I must admit , when comes to 'reopening' of school tomorrow , it's an entire different matter altogether . For once , I hate homework . Then again who likes ?

++++++++

Saturday, August 19, 2006

Later on going back to ITE Dover to attend a briefing for next month's award/graduation ceremony for the East division . Since I already graduated in April , so I'm going to ITE Simei next month to just receive my awards & not really attend well the graduation ceremony even though techincally I still have to sit & go for it.

Going to meet Su Hanna & Dila later on , can't wait to see them as I haven't seen them for a while since the graduation ceremony that took place in April so in a way looking forward to catch up with them , for old times's sake.

Su even asked me whether before the briefing starts , whether food will be available or not -_-"'

Was talking to Maggie yesterday night on MSN & we were going on how our lives were boring respectively . She was saying that my life's waaay more exciting than hers in which I tend to agree & at this point in time , I have to say that I have no regrets !

I'm not the most popular girl in class & most probably my name's ranked quite high in the hate list & that some of my classmates hate my guts but you know what ? who cares man

Cos right now , unlike other people my age , I'm experiencing something that $ really can't buy at all & for the past 2 years or so , my life has changed so much for the better & only recently starting to know & befriend a certain group of people who respect for who I'm & not what I'm in which I'm really grateful for .

So even if 1/4 or 1/2 or the whole class all hates me , it doesn't bother me at any bit . I had handled a lot of flak ever since kindergarden & countless people have made fun of me but at the end of the day , that's what doesn't kill you , only makes you stronger.

& also me & Maggie were talking in that even though we're both supposedly young when comes to the age factor , for the wishdom/mature factor , we're both an expert in the field in which I totally agree as sometimes age ain't nothing but a number.

Friday, August 18, 2006

Ok so initally my day wasn't so good due to the fact that I didn't got the chance to meet Dan today as he was sick but now I'm much much better in spirits.

As you all know or don't know , I'm going for another Electrico gig next week . 2 gigs to be precised , on next Wed & Sat . Next Wed's gig it will be the Bar None Rock Affair with Electrico & their opening act Auburn Epiphany .

I'm excited in going for it as it will be the 2nd time that I will be going back to sorta erm 'revisit' Bar None , the 1st time I went there it was last Oct to see Electrico & Rivermaya performed .

At the beginning , I was real excited when my mum told me that I'm allowed to go for it but now I'm 3x times or more excited than ever ! & I think the review that I'm going to do for next Wed's gig will be a hell lot more kick ass & a lot more bite as compared to the ndp eve countdown gig that I wrote & not to mention I'm going to experience another 1st in my life on that day !

Why or what you may ask ? Well I'm going for Electrico's soundcheck on Wed ! I asked Amanda & Will for permission eariler & they told me that they don't mind me to come along & see what they do during a soundcheck as obviously I never been to 1 before so yeah really chuffed to bits when they gave me the green light !

Not to mention , I have another purpose in wanting to go for the soundcheck aka I need the band to do me an important favour in which I told Amanda & Will about it as well . I told Maggie about it & she was like going wooooww .

I don't want to state what's the flavor all about in here cos it's quite confidential & also I don't want someone to find out about it haha . So far , other than the both of them & Maggie , I also told Angeline about it as well.

Even though by right I have school next Wed , luckily the next day I don't need to go back as lessons been rescheduled so in a way I have to count my lucky stars & usually after I finish school at 12pm , I will stay behind to do my homework in the library but just for next Wed , I'm not going to haha cos I'm going for their soundcheck wheeeeeeee

& oh before I totally forget , I'm planning to surprise the guys with something .

Desmond already knows cos I bomb their page with a comment there haha but he doesn't know what's it all about . I think they might be shocked when they find it out themselves on that day hehe

So looks like everyone will expect a bumper crop of a review for next Wed's gig !




God the past few days my whole family has been sick like what you expect in a domino effect . Hui Lin was down with flu/fever on Wed & she received MCs for Wed & Thurs.

Hui Li was down with flu/fever yesterday so as a result she got MCs for yesterday & today & now it's my turn ! somehow or another , mine's isn't that serious as compared to the both of them cos I suspect I didn't slept well today which's why I'm down with a little bit of the sniffles.

No wonder I was sensing that something bad's going to happen later on today & sure enough , I was right again ! Man if my ability to able to sense bad things from going to befall on me is ever good or what . If only this ability of mine I can use it to stuck the lottery that will be swell.

What am I talking about ? I'm supposed to meet Dan later on this afternoon & sure enough , I got an SMS from him eariler saying that he's sick today & that he's on MC & not at work :( . How ironic , I'm also feeling quite unwell too but ah well things do happen . Hopefully he will recover in time for next Wed's gig at Bar None !

& in a way Linda was spot on in that I was actually looking forward to seeing him later on haha but never mind I will seeing Dan & the rest twice next week so not a problem.

Thursday, August 17, 2006

Spent almost the whole morning trying to cut up some more songs from here & there using the software that I downloaded from the net . It's quite fun & really addictive . It's like Pringles if you ask me , once you pop you can't stop.

Considering the fact that I don't have any music programming background so to speak , it's really quite not bad on my part *cough cough* Here I go again , not very modest ain't I ?

Initally I sucked , I couldn't get the ringtones up & running , not to mention most of them are in WMA files so when I convert the cut up parts to MP3 format , it just sounded weird.But by trial & error , I managed to get things fixed up & yeah call me cheapskate or whatever but by doing this way , I don't need to buy any ringtones then which cost like S$4/6 each depending whether it's mono or poly which's insane.

Somemore I don't think those ringtones shops sell songs that I personally like so techincally there's a personal touch to the ringtones that I did up then haha

Currently I have about 18 songs inside my phone . I might add more depending on my mood but yeah I liked all of them & this's totally off topic but I heard the acoustic version of Dry on Lunarin's MySpace just now & it sounded beautiful with a capital B !

Wonder whether Linda will do Dry next month at her solo acoustic gig , if she does , that will sound great.


++++++++

Wednesday, August 16, 2006

Was out almost the whole day but before I left the house , as I promised Linda , I watched the stompcast tag 24 in the morning & it's really nice ! I liked the episode a lot even though it's only 12 mins long but still it's nice to see a different side of Linda & the rest of the guys.

I saw the bloopers episodes too & ET & Y are terrible , keep on mocking Linda on something about pink specs ! What's wrong with pink specs ??? Hui Li also wearing them so don't see the fuss about it . Oh well that's weird on their part.

So like what I said , I went to Plaza Singapura to buy a CD supporting software for my handphone which's the Motorola L6 . I made my way to the Motorola shop at the 2nd basement cos I realised that when I bought the phone about 4 months ago or so , it didn't came along with the CD so I decided to buy it as it's getting quite troublesome to ask Lu Yong to help me transfer pics & songs from his phone to mine.

I got back home & this's where the 'fun' started . I was trying in vain to get the software installed into the computer . I tried something like 3-4 times before almost giving up but then somehow by trial & error I managed to get it done.

What's more , I have a software that I downloaded from the net in which Lu Yong uses to cut parts of songs & transfer them into his phone & set them as ringtones & like the software , I get that done also by trial & error & finally I managed to get things right as well !

Cos honestly the ringtones that Lu Yong did for me , some of them are not very good as in the portions where he cut the songs for me , it's not really nice not to mention it doesn't stand out so I redone some . Thought the ringtones that I did up sounded really good !

++++++++

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

I went to watch The Ant Bully this afternoon & ah it's really nice , I really liked it . I thought it will be a typical normal cartoon movie but I was proven wrong . To think initally I almost didn't want to go & watch it but I'm glad that I went for it.

The story's touching even though I read quite a lot of bad reviews from the press but honestly it's not that bad . The press can be horrible sometimes , they should be shot if you ask me but then again after watching it , it's definitely worth paying S$7 to see it.

So after that , I went to buy the soundtrack to High School Musical . It's like I finally decided to go & buy a copy of it & in a way it's kinda long overdue . Even though I downloaded the songs from the net but still I went & bought it cos the quality of the files that I downloaded are not good & are quite crap.

& here comes the big dilemna of a mini saga that's currently going on . You know the feeling where it can be SO HARD to find the 'perfect' gift for a friend's birthday ? You got that right , I was trying my best to crack my brain real hard to decide what pressie I want to give for my friend whose's going to be old again soon.

I was scouting around the shopping mall for thoughts & ideas & inspirations as to what I should give her . But the stuff available in those gift shops are either too expensive/not pratical/irrelevant & etc . I mean , come on , I don't want to give my friend a teddy bear or soft toy that will look quite 'cheap' on my part & not to mention what can she do with it ? Let her dog chew it til everything all falls apart? Most probably.

Then I made my way back home & while I'm on the bus , a light bulb just hit me & it's like damn why I didn't think about it sooner or later ?? Cos sometimes , the 'perfect' gift need not to be expensive or grand looking & what matters's that it comes from the heart.

& yes I have already decided what I want to give her in mind !

Monday, August 14, 2006

I was dead pissed over something that took place this morning but it's nothing more than a petty issue to me so now I'm ok .

So 1 week worth of holidays have passed by just like that already , so fast if you ask me & next week , it's back to school for me :( . So I have to say goodbye to waking up late sooner than I thought bah .

Last week's break for me was great for the fact that I didn't get to do much homework cos I was out on most days & also partied way too much with Electrico at their gig & eariler I just finished doing the summary writing & I tell you , I detest doing it cos I'm damn weak in it & I have to summarise 2 frigging long business reports that're 9-11 pages each so in a way couldn't give an arse on doing it but what to do , have to do it sooner than later cos last week I already done with the note-taking & citing reference.

So in some ways or another , I have already finished all my homework being given to me then yay . I probably do some Maths revision on my own in the days to come as if I were to use all of my time coming online & also going to the arcade , I will be quite bored to death.

Just now on MySpace , I posted a new display pic of me . Well yesterday I changed that not too long ago cos I thought that pic of Raven looks quite freaky & gothic to people who are viewing my page so I thought I settle for something more pleasant to the eyes as I don't want people to get the wrong perception that I worship some devil or something in which I'm not.

& I told Will yesterday night that I'm going for the Bar None Rock Affair gig & not too long ago , I also told Daniel about this as well .

It's funny , it's like he's more excited than I'm when I broke the news to him haha but I thought it's really sweet in the way that he reacted . I was telling him that the poster for the gig looked like something straight outta a horror movie haha . I thought that was really lame coming from my part seeing that I have a really dry sense of humor.

Still I'm glad that he knows about this & I definitely appericate that Electrico appericate in the little things I help in supporting them .

Sunday, August 13, 2006

Ok this's going to be a really stupid rant in which I want to let out 1st of all , I just wonder why do people say 1 thing but meant the other ?

Like for instance , 1 moment my mum said that I'm fat , the next she said that I'm losing weight ! Gawd what gives ? I know that I'm already like that but still she doesn't have to rub it in my face ! Like HELLO I'm trying to do something about it , too bad I'm not blessed with thin genes aka having a stick thin figure like Posh Spice but still that gotta hurt isn't it ?

It's as good as saying that you have a great complexion when your whole face's messed up with uncountable zits & bad acne & somemore my mum's not the slim & slender type in the 1st place.

-.- :(

So anyway , on a whole total different topic , this morning I went to the temple & pray . I 1st give my thanks to Buddha & the Godness Of Mercy for answering my prayers when I was there a few months ago when I was having a major mojo breakdown.

This time around , I went there to pray for a lot of things , asking both Buddha & the Godness Of Mercy to watch over the people I hold dear to & not to mention bless this group of people I care a lot with both their blessings.

I definitely believe in Karma that's for sure , what goes around comes around as they say.

& I just found out that Electrico will be performing at Bar None again on 23th Aug,Wed & this time it's with Auburn's Epiphany !! I'm going for it despite the gig falling on a school day as the next day , I don't have to go to school bcos it just so happens that Accounting lessons for 24th Aug has been rescheduled to 29th !

& I see that I have to pay S$15 as cover charge which includes a mug of Tiger Beer . Maybe I will pass that mug to Will if that's the case since I don't drink LOL


Looks like a review of Bar None Rock Affair will be coming everyone's way soon in due time :)

Saturday, August 12, 2006

I watched My Super Ex Girlfriend yesterday & yup it was hilarious just as I expected . Only thing that I didn't buy was that I thought the movie contained waay too much sexual humour in which at times , it's quite gross which got me thinking why's still rated PG ?

Oh well aside from too much of it , the movie was not too bad & you should catch it .

After that , I went to the Planetshakers gig with my classmate Rachel that was held at Expo & this's the part where I have to be careful with my words without offending anyone who support them.

Well 1stly I have to give the Planetshakers members credit for being really professional people as they do know their stuff but gawd I feel so outta place in the concert cos I didn't expect their songs to be praising about the Lord even though it's christian rock music so during the whole duration of the gig , I was quite well bored unfortunately.

BUT a good thing sorta came outta it cos I SWEAR , the whole time I was staring at the keyboardist on stage who's SUPER cute & boyish ! I think his name's Jonathan or something but damn , he's hot & somemore the members said that he's the youngest in the group & that he celebrated his 30th birthday like what last weekend ?

gawd , he's 30 ?? & I thought he looked way younger than that haha . He looked like a cross between The Click Five's keyboardist Ben Romans & McFly drummer's Harry Judd except that he's all ang moh & blonde !

So yeah I felt like a sorethumb yesterday cos I'm not a Christian in the 1st place & generally I didn't enjoyed the gig so much so sorry Rachel !

I have 3 more upcoming gigs that I will be attending in the days/weeks to come . & all of them have been confirmed in that I already promised Electrico & Linda that I will be going for all of them respectively ! I'm sure all 3 gigs will be great , just like on Tue night's NDP countdown gig.

Who knows , I might be surprised with somemore pressies from the guys heh

Today will be going to be a really insane day for me ! I will be out like pratically almost the whole day with a lot of things to do .

1st thing 1st , will be meeting Angeline for lunch during her lunch break cos around this time , she will be passing the comics to me , in which 6 of them have arrived yesterday at her house . Sadly her birthday pressie hasn't arrive yet so hopefully it will.

So this means outta 18 comic books , 9 have already come my way which's not bad . The remaining 5 that Suzy helped me to order , they haven't arrived yet from Amazon :( . I think she better go & chase the sellers to hurry up or else she will bomb them with lots of unflattering comments.

The remaining ones better arrive soon , at most by end of this month or early Sept before she & Angeline will meet up in UK face to face .

& after lunch , will be going to the arcade to destress . I still have 1 token left from last Tue night before I went to see Electrico performed that's . I went arcade crazy & played the same machine over & over again til I reached disutility (HAHA I'm talking Econs lingo here) so yeah kinda went overboard.

& then after a while , will be watching My Super Ex Girlfriend . I seen the trailer while I was watching Just My Luck & it's really hilarious , I hope the movie will be worth the buck despite reading quite a lot of not so good reviews in the papers.

& after all this , will be heading to Expo to watch Aust band Planetshakers in concert . I'm being dragged 'by force' to watch their gig cos my classmate Rachel thought that I might like them as they play christian rock music.

it's funny , I never heard of them before . I asked my friends & only Jen had heard of them , weird but oh well I got nothing to lose except for the fact that I still owe Rachel S$4 for the ticket haha & so yeah I'm going to accompany Rachel later on .

Man is today going to be insane or what ?

:: Poem ::

O Mortals !
What is Love
That binds beyond life on earth ?

To all corners
in a pair we fly
Braving summer
and winter by and by

Union is bliss ;
parting is woe !
Agony is boundless
for a lovelorn soul !

Sweetheart ,
give me word ...
Trail of clouds
drifting forward ...

Amid mountains
capped with snow
Whither shall
my lonesome
shadow go ??
