And the days go by-the-by-the-byyy

Heylo.

To the very many that have asked why I havent been blogging.

Urm. Not in the mood. And nothing very much exciting to blog about. Life has been mostly good. I like my job. I like my bosses. I like my colleagues (bunch of jokers). So really it does seem mostly rosy. Kinda.

And i have a new friend in my office to keep me company. Yes, I am very privileged to be sitting where i am sitting, with no window into the main corridor (yes, it is actually a partner's room) and I have no room mate. at the moment.

So this is my zebra, ZERO. I chose ZERO from the very many animals because he is stripey and funky. Yes.

So i was saying i have no room mate so like ALL the interns there are possible have been rotated to sit with me. I am like the host LA.

Well, after pretty non-eventful days, HS brought me to the Night Festival at Singapore Art Museum. Apparently they had this free visits to the Museum thingy and there was a free showing of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY 1970 version or something.. (older than me lorh).. and it was good.

Talking about dreams and hoping.. rather elusive if you ask me.. but makes one happy nevertheless..

HS brought mats so we just parked ourselves on the grass. And because it was free the whole place was like PACKED larh.. singaporeans right...

After the screening, they had this "light installation" thingy from Australia.. and they made the facade of the Singapore museum so very different because of the various lighting..





Chioh lorh..
But i think it looks vaguely haunted, neh?

O the other thing was that we tried to crash the ZOUK HIP HOP party at SMU and to my great joy, the security guard thought that we were still students!!!

happiness lorh, i graduated 4 years ago..

And yes, the other thing I have been doing is speaking too much with J. Hence my very bad grammar. It's kinda cute to forget your grammar sometimes, or do i think that only because i dont have a problem with my grammar.. *shrug*

(to be honest i find it jarring, audibly, to speak to people with bad grammar, if u know what i mean.. doesnt mean that i like them less.. just that the inside of you is screaming.. SYNTAX WRONG... TENSES WRONG! etc.. )

okay the other thing i did, was also at the behest of HS.


Yes.. SINGFEST!!!

There was some LEVIs deal. All i had to do was pay for a pair of jeans and i got free tickets to SINGFEST!!! Happening boh...

Anyhow, it was like SUPER crowded lorh..

The show starts at 3 pm (or so they claim). HS and i reached at 1330 in the vain hope of getting a good seat. Man. They didnt let anyone in for like 1 hour so after Q-ing for half an hour to even get in, we had to wait again.

Speaking of which, there was this super uncool girl, who was yakking on the phone and walked all the way to the queue in front of us and just plonked herself there. This was where we got after Q-ing for like 45 minutes ! So HS asked her what she was doing there, and she had the NERVE to reply that all her friends were inside and she was hoping that we would show a little compassion (in a real standoffish manner) So HS said, no, you want to go in please join the back of the queue and whatever it is, not infront of us..

I dont get these people - inconsiderate AND shameless.. there were alot of these around at the festival..


So whilst waiting, we were trigger happy..

and from the crowd i spotted one of seniors! and then later on .. may many of my colleagues!! There were many many from the fraternity there lorh!

So after Q-ing for so long, we managed to find like a seat somewhere in front of the soundbox in the middle of the grass patch.. emcees for the day was the mutton brothers (or something like that) from 98.7.. but the emcees for the grand finale was glenn and the flying dutchman.


And the sun was BLAZING.. like everyone was wearing very little.. and i had SLATHERED sunblock on like crazy, before and during the festival.. so for my 3 hours in the sun.. i hardly changed my skin tone.. so jaszy is happy. =D



And in btw performances, we took more pictures of ourselves..


The food was really exorbitant.. i had a wrap for like 10 bucks. the alcohol was cheaper.. like 10 bucks as well.. and with the weather.. we could have taken BARRELS lorh.. but it was too ex..


snap snap...

snap snap again...

you cant blame us, really.. there were only a few good shows.. i mean generally not bad but the shows that got people moving was like.. towards the end..

I dont need new glasses with these shades..
I cant rem this band. Could be panic at the disco..


Sorry cant rem!

More boredom. Excuse us. I thought her hat was pretty funky.





And the night got really moving with JASON MIRAZ.. he KICKS ASS LORH!!!

i didnt KNOW who he was until i heard the geek in the pink song and i was like OOOO.. I KNOW this guy.. i is like!! Anyhow, Jason was the most charismatic singer of the lot.. like totally engaging the crowd... cant say the same for the rest..

i cant rem who this is, might be the pussycat dolls. At first i was real excited until i realized that they really cant do anything other than wear very little and prance around?

There was this part of the jig where the girls were like.. hey let's show everyone what we can do, and this girl KIMBERLY .. (whom I thought was quite hot, to be honest) all she could do was.. stand one one foot in her stilettos and then pull the other leg up sideways until she could kiss it..

AND SHE WAS REAL PROUD OF IT..

AND THE WHOLE TIME WHEN THE REST OF THE BAND ASKED HER.. SHOW US WHAT YOU CAN DO KIMBERLY..

SHE WILL GO I CAN DO THIS!

and she will do it.

Man.. no Nobel prizes to be given out here.. not that i can do what she did but it was like so !!!

perhaps I am too harsh. those are the goods they are selling, right?
And the last part of the show was Alicia Keyes. If we had pay all that $$ just to watch her, it would have been worth it..




I thought i would end with giving everyone a taste of jason, my new favourite..




other news, WH is coming home so i am mighty pleased.. perhaps more on that another time!!
