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 >(
