only the most brilliant band ever!

in my eyes *0*

doof doof

we meet again :>

words cannot describe their awesomeness so i shall not attempt.

oh and did i mention that i managed to nab a drum stick?

well.. i got the drum stick yeow~

and dan: i <3 how you dance and stomp your feet :> just sayin

-w-

ps. no more gigs from now on unless fl

next few weekends will probs slow down now..

actually no i lie.. still have a few things planned

colorblind?

2011-05-15T20:26:00.000+08:00

maybe...

so i got this pay rise last week because im just so totally awesome and im a totally fab theatre nurse..

not!

haha but i didnt get a pay rise :)

only for me to go and spend it straight after i got home from work.

darn the internet and 24/7 online shopping.

not to mention free delivery as well.

ok, well i have a good reason for my recent spendings.

it was cheap, 20% off, free delivery, kind of was going to buy it sooner or later anyways, and the flash diffuser.. well i kind of need that if im going to do fl gigs etc. fair enough right? ok, well i suppose they aren't very good reasonings..

but.. ITS TOO LATE NOW!

damage done.

past exciting times and the not so:

took muffy to the vet, poor muffin cried naww, midsummer's night dream :) ty jo, hungry kids, gypsy, capitol, city roamings, movies and movies, mint & hula bula: dancing, a few drinks and a midnight maccas run, a good night sleep, and a very very pleasant dream :> a nice change for once.

thats the thing though isnt it.. that when you wake up, it was all just a dream. and bam! your back to reality.

question: how do you find someone in such a huge city? when all you have is just a name?

-w-

i suppose time will tell.

the hungry kids and cats.

2011-05-09T23:44:00.003+08:00

a last min snack indeed.

@ Indi bar - Subi

the kids with the ever so charismatic Mr bull.

liking that :{D

also, Mr Bull's drummer & the chemist's pianist: hotness

and the cat and the cat and the cat :)

we sure had our dancing shoes on that night.

also, to the boy in the vintage blue t-shirt that matched his eyes: ty for the promise and yes it was the thought that counts.

we need more people like you around.

ok ok, after cut//copy.. no more gigs!

unless its for fl. then i shall make exceptions because its free :D

that is when i find where ive missed placed my guts. or if i ever someone grow the balls to do so.

i think its best i back track on where i missed placed my guts. thats probs my best bet. hopefully they aren't too far away.

if anyone knows any information or have seen them laying around anywhere.

please come forth and contact me via this blog, email or any other form of communication means.

thank you.

much appreciated.

till then, my gf1 does do a fab job.

i must nurture it more :(

2011-04-10T22:38:00.000+08:00

i will get time..

to realize..

its right before my eyes

its what the heart wants, but i cant take it

flickr

tim & jean @ amp

with voltaire twins and san cisco

a bunch of young and talented musicians

atmosphere was awesome at amp

random: ive been thinking.. the more i try and have a good night sleep minus the stupid dreams, it always seems to end horribly. the harder i try to have a good night sleep, the worse the dream. i dont get it. what's up with that seriously. and the thing is, its not the context of the dreams that bothers me, its that i wake up feeling tired as because its like i never slept at all! ive been jiped.

previous solutions: tea, shower before bed, read before bed, watch tv, listen to music, lavender spray, lavender shower gel and other relaxing body washes, candles, three t's, 'clearing' my mind before bed, dream catcher, rearranging my room, removing clutter from my room, new pillows, new bed sheets.. you name it, i've probs tried it. havent yet op-ed for such things like sleeping pills or alcohol though. but yes after a big night out i do sleep pretty well after. only problem, i cant exactly do that every night. and another problem, i tend to crave a cheeseburger the next morning as well.

bah! maybe i should just accept it T_T"

but then again, it would be nice not to be attacked, not to be followed or chased, not to be shot at, not to be called in to identify someones body, not to see ghosts, not to cry, not to be bashed, not to feel paranoid, not to feel sad or worried, not to be running in panic from something, not to see people die, not to drown, not to fall from great heights, not to be near a bombing or fire, or a tsunami, not to be teleported into a war zone, not to be somewhere foreign or creepy or dark or grey and worst of all, it would be nice not to dream of a loved ones death.

anyhow, there i go complaining yet again.

i think maybe its time for a holiday :)

on to other happenings: claremont quarter, grill'd, koko black, movies, beach, city, buddha's birthday, supreme court gardens, tim and jean, san cisco, voltaire twins, amp - some very attractive people there i must point out, set list, angrove st fest, ice cream, coffee, sunday breaky, confirmed die winterreise tix and gypsy and the cat :) something to look forward to

one more thing: japan (july) is still a go ahead.

-w-

that i hate my oven. nothing it cooks is ever close to the recipes cooking time.

o well. i think ive learnt how to use it.

they turned out better than expected.

i did not however...

get to use my kitchenaid :(

i didnt think it was worth using just to foam three egg whites.

the old hand beater did the job. a fine job i must say considering its older than i am.

its still got it.

still looking for a recipe to use my kitchenaid.

maybe something savory for a change.

something i failed to mention.

19.12.2010

no post worthy pictures because security did not allow my new baby in with me.

i only have pics and vids from my iphone.

i suppose it did the job.

one of my more fav songs from them :)

and since i have no pics..

the stage: ginormous, space ship like, light green with tones and tones of lighting and sound gear, a huge centre screen with a 360 deg view-age that could expand and move up and down, a huge disco ball in the middle, moving walk planks to the outer stage.

supporting act: Jay Z rocked my socks, everyone 'bounced' literally.

u2 experience: > than amazing... spectacular, phenomenal and very moving to say the least.

16.30-22.30: my legs were aching.

i was tired (

a wonderful end to my weekend and very much worth being knackered for 7.30 start the next day.

xmas festives:

bar five

a few chambord & lemonades

lots of loud chit chat

xmas bbq

ps.

recently purchased: leather half case + neck strap for my gf baby

tm: green tea macaroons? tm? with my kitchenaid? i think yesss :D

wants: to bake a fresh loaf of bread now i have a dough hook!

two week AL/holidays: MUST BE PUT TO GOOD USE!

plan: lots of photos, nye celebrations and baking with my kitchenaid ♥

pps.

question 1: is having up to 5 different dreams a night normal?

question 2: is it normal to dream every single night?

dear, active mind: please rest during sleeping hours i.e when i go to bed... your games dont scare me any more! your so called 'nightmares'... i now consider bad dreams. leave me alone! im no longer phased by you. it just makes me stronger :P

december breaky & brunches.

from my sona bubba.

2010-11-28T23:23:00.000+08:00

for my 21st.

thank you from the very bottom of my ♥

announced on the 27th of nov:

Today we celebrate twenty-one years of this gorgeous girl's life, remembering the laughter, the smiles, the tears, the drama, and of course the after-school trips to Hungry Jacks, and morning walks to maccas to eat soft serve cones in Winter before school. Good days have passed with many more to come, and I look forward to sharing more unforgettable memories with her.

So far, my only regret since the formation of this frienship is that I did not know her sooner, but for the near-decade since we have met she has been a completely irreplaceable part of my life, and the world would be an awfully darker place if she weren't there to flood it with light.

I never would have thought that the girl who ignored me on that very first day of year 8 woodwork class would grow up to be such an amazing person, and become one of my most closest and dearest friends. Through the years I've known her she continues to amaze me with her photography and creativity, and has always been there for me when I needed it most - especially in 2009 and I want her to know that the iPod-Touch that was full of Disney films comforted me more than anything else during the worse times.

I wish her the very best, and goodluck in everything she pursues - even though she doesn't need it, because there is no doubt that she will succeed in anything she chooses to do because that is just the kind of person she is. She is determined, she is independent, she is fierce, and she knows what she wants. I admire her deeply for these very qualities and much more, and am proud to be here today as her friend.

I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate her for being the first of the 4 musketeers to get the hell out of uni, and start a real job. She finally became that nurse that she had always wanted to be! Congratulations, and I hope you work hard making the moolah... and save a couple of lives while you're at it!

(I was going to sing you a random song I stole from the "Flapjack" cartoon.... but I don't think I will)

So Happy Birthday bubby. And thank you for putting up with my ridiculousness, petty grudging, and oddity. Love you lots, now and forever. ♥

-w-

ps. i will have a belated speech for you bubba

bows at wolfe lane.

2010-11-28T22:33:00.001+08:00

the bows were out tonight.

in celebration of end of exams for some and a certain milestone of mine.

we were all ready to kick back, relax and party till the wee hours of the morning.

and that we did.

@ wolfe lane bar.

tucked away. it proved hard to find for some. but im sure worth the hunt.

at the end of the brick road and through the little black doors, there was music, tapas and bar tenders to mix what ever we wished*

girls with bows in hairs, on dancing shoes, killer heels, LBD or LGD and on all bits of accessories.

and boys with bowties :)

thanks ray for the lovely photos :)

ty to everyone who helped out. you know who you are.

ty sona and zhang for the lovely speeches.

ty boys for helping with looking after all my things and deliverying my cupcakes.

all very very much appreciated.

love love

All of This from Amateur Musicologist on Vimeo.

last few weeks have been... :)

despite the many bad dreams and crappy patient loads at work.

sometimes: work is hard but i always get a 'thank you'

i wish: that things would be more equal in life

good things: should come to those who do good deeds, but thats not always the case

i've learnt: that you can find out so much from strangers just by talking to them

i want: something i can't see

this week: i learnt how to surf

ice-cream: always makes me happy

i need: to remember that i am only human and i make mistakes

i shouldnt: spend so much money

need to save for: jap, kl, east, new camera gear and other loves

wonders: why m's & f's cant just be good friends

excited about: steam boat this weekend

nervous: about starting in a new area at work

should be: doing/starting my case study

wants: film for the fe

pondering: about a three six five

must: sleep earlier

this weekend/next week: im going surfing again, starting in recovery, is my older brother henry and vincent's birthday, is sona's birthday, is ron's birthday, steam boat, windows on william, shooting in the city again, should cont project repco, bikram and start my case study.

-w-

ps. i just realized the next few week, months + start of 2011 is going to rock

line up to summer 2010-2011: birthdays, end of exams for a bulk of friends, u2 & jayz, east ward bound, aus o, bdo, good vibes, laneway fest, wicked, jap and kl. all i need now is lots of sunscreen, new camera gear and spending money :)

a very happy birthday to you zhang :)

congratulations on finally being 21

there's been so many memories since high school. the first time i met zhang she came across as a quiet person. but i think over the years of having us (other musketeers) around, she's not quite that quiet girl i first thought she'd be. we all know that at times she can be a tiny bit lame and clumsy at times. when ever she says something lame, sona would always be like, T_T 'no zhang, no' but no matter what, i would always be there laughing inside quietly along side her. and those who know her, knows the mishaps that occur especially when it involves her mobile phone/s. lets just say, i was going to fish out her mobile phone from the toilet for her. that's how much i love you.

anytime, anything, anywhere.

you've now gorwn to become such a wonderful and beautiful person. and i wish you all the best for the future. and thank you for being such a wonderful friend. let the good times roll with more late night chats, coffee, tea, cakes, junk food nights and movie marathons and everything else in between.

thank you mum for the bouquet as well

thank you to my nursing friends for always being there for me through all those difficult pracs, assignments and for just listening to me during those down times. for sharing all of your experiences with me and for all the fun times we've had.

the past few days/week/months have been pretty full on.

why?

ever since i got back from my holiday i've been busy busy busy.

partly my own fault.

out out out almost everyday. it gets very tiring.

but its been a good ride. i think its time to slow things down just a notch.

dont know how well that will go.

sometimes i wish for neverland.

2010-08-25T22:24:00.000+08:00

is singapore.

just a few things that i learnt from my one week+

a little survival guide.

1. wear sneakers! just because you think it's too hot to wear socks and sneakers you'll deeply regret it. yes, you may think that your normal ballet flats, sandals or rubber thongs are kind to your feet, but not when hopping around the island.

2. have an umbrella on hand at all times. the weather can be very temperamental.

3. do not drink or eat anything on public transport or in the shops. the gov would rather you dehydrate than to let you ruin their reputation of being a clean city.

4. bring a cardigan or thin jacket with you at all times to prevent getting sick. their a/c is crazy cold sometimes. the humidity will knock you off your feet when you exit an awesomely air-coned environment.

5. do not squat on their toilets* it'll result in a butt clean as well as flushing the toilet for you.

6. free wifi is actually quite hard to find. most 'free' wifi's direct to a darn login page. get a mobile number and sign up for their 'free' wireless.

7. you need to be 21 to enter the casino as well as some bars and clubs.

8. keep left on the escalators if your not in a hurry.

9. it seems to be more 'ok' for males to express their 'man love' for each other. and its not a big deal for guys to have cute dangly things on their bags, key chains, mobile etc.

10. you can get a 10% discount card if your a tourist, apparently.

11. vegetarian food is somewhat hard to find in shopping centers. but if you do find it, its generally good stuff.

12. there is always vegetarian food outlets around temples

13. is it just me? or is it hard to find a post office?

14. heads up: there is a money exchanger in china town that's pretty good. you can tell straight away from the long line of people queuing to buy sing dollar. no joke, the line managed to stay the same 4meters long when i passed by again three hrs later.

15. feeding pigeons is not allowed.

16. do not attempt to go to more than six places in one day - going to twelve places in one day almost killed me* and my feet hated me by the end of the day.

17. sleep before everyone else, because walking around all day will likely result in someone snoring or even sleep talking.

18. bring music for the mrt rides, especially for long rides. most people who ride the mrt are in their own little world of music.

19. get a mrt card instead of those standard fare ones. waiting in line during peak hour to get a standard fare will only annoy the heck out of you. especially when you have to return the cards. it also works out cheaper.

20. if your staying for longer than 5days or so. i suggest not to eat out every meal. your tummy and butt will thank you for it. trust me. unless you have a super stomach & bowels. by day three i wanted plain oat porridge for breaky.

21. the busier mrt stops have arrows directing people traffic in a out of the train. if you stand in the middle of the way during peak hour you may get trampled on.

22. always bring a water bottle. you can refill it at most restaurants or cafes.

23. sim lim is a little dodge and the stuff isnt as cheap as buying online anyways.

24. no durians on the train. but you wont get fined for it?

25. bugis street has pick pockets.

26. you still have to pay to pee and sh*t at some places.

27. people walk really fast in singapore. don't try and match their speed. your feet will hate you for it.

28. singapore has minimal if any local produce.

-w-

ps. i will be back! for sure.

pics will be on flickr soon

yes i realize its been a while since i got back from my holiday

and still need to get around to sorting them all out, when ever that may be i just dont know.

busy busy busy.

next stop: malaysia, japan and korea 2010/2011 C:
