Somemore my dad & Hui Li wanted to go back home early to watch football aka Chelsea Vs Liverpool .

After Dan left for a while to load his gear into his car , Jiha gave me my belated pressie which was a mug which I really like . Thanks Jiha ! & then Dave left 1st & finally I managed to see what kinda vehicle he drives . He drives a very nice red van . Not a car , but a van ! & I waved him goodbye before he left .

In a way Jiha was in a state of shock cos she still can't believe that Dan's gonna fetch her home but I bet this experience will be a memorable one & make her very happy indeed haha . Jiha sat at the back while I sat in the front , just like last time when Dan sent me & Hui Li back home.

However before we left , Marcia was asking Dan whether could he sent her back but cos his gear was at the backseat of his car , there was no more room . He tried to squeeze it in his car boot but to no avail . Eventually Marcia hitched a ride from either Des or Will I think & Dan realised right now he left his sunshades where the stage was ! oops so he hurriedly went to retrieve them .

When that happened , I talked to Jiha a bit more & yeah she was cool with everything . Not that she should complain cos my bro's sending her back leh . Dan was playing Muse's older album Absolution in his car . I liked some of the songs on there so I probably should go check out their older material considering the fact that I'm still embarassed that I only got to know about them just recently but hey better late than never.

I talked to Dan somemore about his thoughts about Muse's gig that took place in Tue at Fort Canning Park such as the post after gig party , also what happened prior to them performing eariler , the sound system & all . Luckily things never went wrong just now cos he was worried they might screw up cos of the fact that they did an on the spot soundcheck but phew thank goodness everything went according to plan despite him gripping about the somewhat sub par sound system .

Well to me the sound system eariler was alright but for Dan it wasn't so this sorta issue differs from each person . He asked me how long I had known Jiha & he was surprised (or so I think) that I known her for a very long time , since Sec 1 to be exact.

& before I know it , we reached Jiha's place with some directions from her cos just like my place , he wasn't so familiar where she exactly stays but this time it's a bit different cos at least in a way he was familiar with her place but for me , no such luck leh

After Dan & I said our goodbye's to her , it was off to Great World City & ah we passed by the place where Jacq works . Cool at least now I know where she work at & by this time , we got stuck in a traffic jam cum flood cum accident .

The flood was gross , to see a large volume of water gushing out from the MRT station it was yuck & mucky brown in colour . Erugh & somemore there was a police car in front so that can't be good & some stupid car cut in front of Dan which led him to say the F word haha but anyway I'm very used to him swearing in my face . Like I don't swear at all.

Come to think about it , I think I swear more than him though haha . So during the traffic jam cum flood cum accident which I was stuck in for about 1/2 hour or so , we talked even more things which was crazy such as the different sizes of cars , his job but ah at least now I know both his parents drive & I gripped about Uni as well saying that next Mon I have to do a presentation.

Also I asked him about next Sun's ASEAN ROCKS event in which no I'm not going & even though the event hasn't take place yet , he's already predicting that will be a flop or should I say another take $ & run that sorta affair cos in such cases , they have to play for corporate clients in which I know Dan absolutely hates !

Cos these kinda people , are usually those who go there to such gigs for the sake of going or simply put , they're not genuine fans . The worst's when they don't know what kind of music the artiste that their company's sponsering in does or even worst still , never heard of you before . Damn that stinks.

At least for such school gigs that they did eariler at Ngee Ann , Dan doesn't mind cos despite the sound system , at least post gig he & the rest still can mingle with their fans , sign stuff & take pics with them which's a good thing not like playing for corporate guests .

I'm not sure if Electrico are going to take the stage with Wicked Aura & Hady Mirza next Sun together or they're playing separately but I know their set's 30 mins but I don't see the need to go at all . Cos I have to pay like what S$38 or S$48 (inclusive of a mug of beer I think) on the day itself which's insane !

Somemore the venue will be held at Hard Rock Cafe . Unless I managed to score some tickets to ASEAN ROCKS via the MTV Asia contest that I took part , I don't mind but no way am I gonna shell out so much $ again . Hey do you know that both amounts are the same prices that you can pay for their Live In New Wave concert excluding the 20% early bird discount ?

Not only that , aside from Bamboo which I heard of excluding their music , the rest of the other bands that hails from other ASEAN countries that will be gracing the 4-5 day event , I never heard of them before + little or minimal promotion's done on it too aside from some ads that I saw on MTV but that's about it man so good luck I should say !

The funny thing & also deja vu much was that eariler we passed by Queensway Sec which was my alumni Sec school & I was telling Dan about the horror stories that I had to endure during Sec 2-4 & went to say that Sec 1 was the best time of my life in Sec school . I had to endure so much verbal abuse back then but like what he said , it's all in the past & at least now I come out to be a more stronger person which's true :) Thanks bro for the wise words as always !

& just like me , he's not a football fan HURRAH . I think Dan's belongs to a rare breed of guys who doesn't appericate football haha & ah he told me that he's moving house next week cos the place he's currently staying at , it's on en bloc sale so whether he likes it or not , he has to move outta there so while the movers move his family's stuff to their new home , he will be staying at a hotel wahaha . So good , I want to stay in a hotel too . Presidental Suite to be exact haha

I still don't know where he stays exactly but I roughly have an idea where . Er I hope I do cos eariler I did asked him whether can he show me where he stays but he's not going back so early so drats no luck . Probably next time then :) cos I mean he knows where I stay now so sooner or later it's high time I should know where he stays too haha

Dan let me alight at Great World City's Taxi Stand & I thanked him once again for taking the time in sending me there & that I will see him again soon . Probably not so soon cos all of my tests are coming up in due time but I see how things goes & try to work things out cos I want to get my b'day pressie from him ! & besides now that the new campus's pretty darn near his workplace so no sweat .

What started out as a day that supposedly went wrong , turned out right & great eventually . I'm so glad that Jiha had a great time catching Electrico live for the very 1st time at the very 1st gig that she attended somemore & not to mention specially taking the time off in accompanying me & vice versa to watch their performance & I bet this's definitely not gonna be the last time she's going to an Electrico gig !
