see how much i cann blog.
got loads to blog, but no time!
went for SWO'S 15th concert yesterday at the esplanade.
i know what you're thinking,
what's a person like me doing there.
i'm an absolute noob at anything to do with aesthetics.
lols. like i'd know how to appreciate a band concert.
it probably just sounds like nice sound to me only.
BUTBUTBUT,
i went there more to support my dearest fren, cheryl linglinG!
she was performing ytd, along with clement, and a whole lot of ycksb people!
met up with saras at j8 to catch up!
glad to hear she's doing DAMN well for her studies.
j2 this year and scoring A's and B's already,
summore she's in SAJC. freakinn` smart.. LOLS!
A levels no problem alr lahs.
ALL THE BEST GURL!!!
around 5-ish, trained down to city hall.
was so damn early so i just walked around,
went to bread talk to buy some stuff,
i discovered they had GREEN TEA MUFFIN.
p.s if any of u decide to buy the green tea muffin and bring it to school,
bring a spoon along man.
the entire thing is so.... seperated!
i felt like i was eating muffin crumbs, that's why i gave up eating halfway.
also, they have really REALLY good blueberry cheesecake!! *100% yums!*
was around 7 when siti reached,
we headed to the esplanade and i saw many yckss ppl!!
saw cheryl too!
she looked really smart in her attire!
its the first time i've been to the esplanade and its freakin` huge.
the concert theatre also has this very nice wooden smell.
so rare to find that kinda smell lahs.
OKAY..im not some crazy psycho freak who's nuts about how a place smells okay,
its just a fact.
we settled down into our seats which were 7 rows from the stage.
REALLY UP FRONT!
okayy, not close to the extent that we're able to see the wrinkles on the conductor's face,
but close enough to enjoy a good performance :)
one thing that could be improved though,
is the chairs.
they're quite squishy and comfortable,
but when you lay your head back,
it hits this solid hard piece of plastic!
so damn uncomfortable lahh,
i had to keep adjusting my head once in a while if not it'll hurt.
i thinkk maybe they purposely made it that way so lazy people like me won't lean their heads back and get too comfortable, maybe even fall asleep.
it probably invokes snoring as well
(which is not very nice, especially when you're watching a concert at the esplanade,
ESPLANADE LEH! not vch..)
the first few songs were nt bad,
but after a while, i just didn't understand the songs anymore.
like i didn't know what the tune was about and all..
so i jus listened to the music,
and got lost in my own thoughts.
hahahas. it was only when they announced the intermission that i snapped back.
they had some prize presentation and thenn we had 20 mins break.
after the intermission was another 3 more songs.
one of which cheryl performed in!
its amazing how they can coordinate so many people to come up with one song.
i wish they'd played a familiar tune though.
ohh! i did recognise the last song.
it was the tune in which V in V for vendetta blew up the parliament house,
denn that classical music piece was blasted throughout the entire England to accompany the bombing up of the parliament house.
SEE! i'm not totally 100% music idiot. lols.
when the performance ended,
people were shouting for encore!
one person behind me shouted "CANON IN D!"
lols. i was hoping they would encore that as well,
but in the end they encored some funny arabian songg.
lols. okayy probably not arabian, but it sounded pretty...
ali baba that kind.. hahahas.
we went for supper after that at makan sutra located just behind esplanade.
haven't been there since my family brought my cousin there to eat, which was like...
3 years ago? i remembered the food there being not bad.
we ordered carrot cake and satay.
the satay was like $14 for 20 sticks and we all got a shock!
okayys lah, do the math and it works out to 70cents per stick,
but the overall price sounded ex.
i always had the impression that satay was cheap.. lols!
THE FOURTEEN DOLLARS SATAY!!
when it arrived, we knew why they charged $14.
it was worth it.
this is not your average satay that you find at any hawker centre.
its different.
firstly, it doesn't have the oily and chaotar look,
it looks very crisp, and very presentable as well.
the carrot cake was normal lahs,
amk one still wins!
(the best carrot cake you can ever find is the one at amk central.
the newly renovated hawker centre very near banquet!)
yepp, we chatted and caught up alot.
it was ytd that i realised i dunno alot that has been going on in their lives.
new bfs, ex bfs, new gossips!!!
we ate for 45 mins, but that was barely enough!
WE GOTTA MEET UP AGAIN MANN!
the real bummer was that we all had school the next day,
and we had to rush for the last train as well.
my feet were really sore, but at least no BLISTERS!!!
thanks to the help of my powerful PLASTERS!
anyways, i've been having close encounters with really really...
weird moms,i guess.
maybe its the norm now but moms jus dun seem to care about their kids that much anymore.
okayy.. my phrasing is wrong, but they use the wrong method to teach their kids i guess.
first encounter:
(while i was waiting for siti at city link)
this kid was very mischevious and he kept climbing up and down the bench.
so the mom yelled at the kid to stop,
but of course he didn't stop..
so she told him in chinese,
"YOU CONTINUE PLAYING I LEAVE YOU HERE I GO OFF ALREADY!"
lols. denn the kid still continue climbing up and down.
and guess wad?
she just walked off.
not jus walked off, she hurried off,
still cann say "BYEBYE!"
so her kid finally took her for real.
he stopped jumping about and stared at her as she walked away.
denn he screamed out SO DAMN LOUD!
(mind you, he was just 2 metres away from me,
my eardrums nearly burst okay! i had no idea kids could scream so loudly and with such high pitch!)
GUESS WAD?
the woman did not even hesitate to turn back and look,
she just kept walking.
and that little boy,
he laid on the floor and starting slamming his fists into the floor and crying.
i tilted my head out abit more to see if his mom would come back for him.
but no, did not even turn around.
she just kept walkingg..
i thinkk the little boy finally got the message and he rann after his mom,
not forgetting to SCREAM damn loudly all the way as well.
3 mins later, still cann hear him scream, very faintly though.
but he was running leh,
imagine how far away he'd have already been.
i had no idea that's how moms discipline their kids.
maybe my mom did that too,
but i was too young to remember.
NAHH, how can it be?
i was sucha good kid! xDD
denn the second encounter was today,
while i was outside 7-11 snacking on mash potato,
i heard this woman yell at her son in chinese again,
"FASTER! YOU LATE FOR CLASS ALREADY! LATER THEN COME AND BUY!"
the little boy just stood there,
and said very calmly, "but i wanna buy the drink now."
the very next moment, the woman yelled back,
"KNNBCCB, NI YAO WO DA SI NI AH(you want me to whack you until you die ah)"
every single word, copied and paste.
to her son, he looked no older than primary 3.
i was half expecting him to tilt his head to one side,
give the really innocent expression and ask,
"mummy, what is knnbccb?"
lols. of course he didn't.
but then, his mom gave in to him,
and they went to get him that drink.
lols. maybe this is the new way of discipline bahh.
maybe words not as bad as actions right?
last time i misbehave is kena caned one leh~
damn terrible okays.
the cane is the WORST invention ever!
whoever invented is probably some sick sadist whose parents are too old to use it on him,
so he invented it for other parents to use it on their kids.
(my intuition tells me its a guy)
PICTURES.
this was all the male contestants for the spokesperson of nebo.
that day when i went to the nebo 1st anniversary celebration.
yes, that same time i stupidly wore heels and ended up having 4 huge blisters on my foot.
0720 class picture.
chen didn't allow me to join :(
but look at eunice's sexayyy birthday card!!!
kwai's mini birthday cake at manhatten fish market!
okayys la, its not even a cake.
its a chocolate MUDPIE.
just ice cream in the form of a pie.
for those chocolate lovers out there,
definitely must try this!
its really really good!!
kwai's birthday present.
green apple vodka!!
hahahs. low alcohol percentage lahhs.
just for the fun of it!
no intention to get her drunk at all~
andd finally, SWO's konzert XV at the esplanade.
cheryl's all the way to the right, nearest to the conductor.
the one sitting DAMN straight up!
good posture.
there was this basoonist,
she practically SLOUCHED on the chair,
very unglam, if you ask me.
then, i thought maybe its cos they're supposed to sit like that so that they can produce better quality sound,
but i looked at the other basoonist players,
they were all sitting straight up.
how odd.
alrightyy`
should be a long enough post!
new episode of xiaxue's guide to life!
some food tasting thingg..
making me very hungryy!!
[[ there's a truth in your eyes, sayinn you'll never leave me. ]]
