Imagine to my horror that opening png image files are opened by Adobe Fireworks CS4 instead of Internet Explorer 8! Darn bugger. I'll fix that some other day.

Does going to the Singapore Arts Festival means that I'm rich? I hada lol at that notion, cause my family buys cheap and decent seats all the time anyway, nothing particularly spectacular...

Peter And the Wolf was great to watch! I came a little late, so I missed out the special entrance by the crew apparently. But there was newspaper all over the Concert Theatre of the Esplanade, and enough angmoh kids having some little fun mayhem, tossing newspapers about, courtesy of the crew's encouragement. Tsk asian kids, reminds me why Guin liked angmoh kids better (Don't remember her reason...), sometimes they are like miniature robots, a little stiff at big events. Or something.

Anywoo, the orchestra, while more of kids, is entertaining for both the young and old, keeping children's attention with music and little short plays for them to associate the music with in Act 1, and followed by a short film in Act 2, no speech, but more orchestra music for them to "feel" the film.

Dessert at Bugis afterwards, though the shop was average; the ice shavings were not as smooth as compared to the shop in Chinatown, but still edible. Found the lady that I spotted in Dhoby Ghaut at the same place, what luck!

Speaking of which I had Dallas Chicken Buffet with some of the forummers. Jiak chicken, see them entertain themselves, play arcade afterwards. My arcade skills so noob waste money only sia lalalala..

Wind Shadow was... dreamy. I see I also blur like sotong, though I grasped perhaps the outline of the whole dance performance. It's subjective anyway... though staying back for the choreographer/ director's Q & A session was particularly informative. There was supposedly even a lady who was once part of Nikolai's dance troupe in New York (Who's Nikolai?) and found the dances to be restrictive, but was mesmerised and wonderfully happy over the free-form dance they did that day. One hell of a praise for the ol' chap. Some guy from some chinese group gave him a song, hoping that one day he'd make a dance out of it. Don't recognise who the big guy was. Though his interpretation of the dance was interesting. Artistes in constant conflict with each other and the world and whatsnot...

Chopin in Botanic Gardens is cool, but too many kids playing about, and uh, I dunno who's playing wad. :P AT least I have Halo: Evolutions accompanying me.

World War Z's audiobook is good! And imma gonna be a creature of my own demise if I don't try to organise my stuffs in whatsnot. Then I'd die in Ngee Ann. Nuuuuuu...

In other news, if Mr. Lee is still around, I bet he'd go "AHAHAHHAHAHA PWNED" when he knows I got shocked by a damaged plug in school
...

And I know I tend to be alongside the fringe of... just about everything I suppose. So, neither in the circle, neither beyond the circle, just somewhere in nullspace...

Curse you image websites, share the lulz, show the images man >(

Last post on 22 March LOL!

Well time to get back here I suppose...

-blows dust-


Now... a summary of 2 months of stuff...

I quit working as data entry, had enough for staring at the computer screen for long hours. Subsequently got into the MDE camp in Ngee Ann, started school, went crazy and picked muay thai and aikido (oh smite me great ones!), and well, currently posting from school :/

Though I must admit, the main reason I've skipped posting for so long is well, better off not boring the readers with the same few details again and again right.

And school so far is mehhhh. In just days we have 4 groups, or 5. The girl group, the second mini girl group, the mixed boy girl group, the boy group, and the uh, beng beng group ;) Sure you make friends, but as with every start of a new school life, I'm viewing everyone with a suspicious eye again. Being cold is a harddddd route at times.

Skipped ZL's meetup for some YTL Concert starring Andrea Bocelli. (Didn't mean to! Catch up next time k?) I suppose itsa k, though not being a opera fanatic, I wasn't really aware that Mr. Andrea had 3 encores for a particular song until my brother pointed it out XD

This brother dman zai. Lost his handphone in Boon Lay again, lucky picked up by someone else sia... except he's going back to Malaysia and won't be back till around Tuesday. Bagus.

I miss yer old peeps. Couldn't we catch up someday? o.o
