Sigh

With much dread, it’s time to head back to down under, just as if everything seems to be looking up, when things seem to be gelling, when things seems to be settling in, and then… life restarts itself all over again, out of the comfort zone and into utter dullness.. sigh….. guess you’d have to get on with it…..

Oasis Gig

Yes, finally they did come to town afterall, the last time when they were supposed to, they were curtailed by the Bali bombings … which they did say something about, but due to their very heavy Manchester accents I had no clue what they were going on about….

Anyways, coming from a true blue Oasis fan, the gig was worth waitingfor.. well for me lah. It wasn’t as energetic as the RHTCP’s concert but that would comparing chickens and ducks, this was a straight up, yrue rock and roll thing.

As it would be expected the crowd was of the late 20’s age group, seeing that Oasis’s heyday was in that excellent Britpop era of music I the early to mid 90’s. As usual, most Singaporeans would go to concerts just because they hear songs on the radio. Seriously, don’t waste your money….

There were people just sitting down, buy the CD then?



There was no denying that most of the crowd were clued in fans, though you could botice the subtle change in the raucous crowd’s volume as they switched from anthem’s to their current stuff, nonetheless appreciative.

For me, Morning Glory, Champagme Supernova and Don’t look back in Anger said it all about ‘em, to the point that the last 2 gave me chills down my spine when they were playing it, and tis was awesome to hear the crowd singing in unison. Wished they played the acoustic version of Wonderwall as well…

Great gig, one worth waiting for, too bad they didn’t play either ‘Whatever’, “Supersonic” or any stuff from their be here Now album…..

Note:
I’ve officially turned 24 as of now, another year, same old thing. As most people would know, had a bash last Friday for my closest of kin, won’t deny that I did have fun but did left a rather sour aftertaste, oh well… that’s life …. But thanks guys, for contributing to an excellent soiree! CHEERS! (btw, oo many pics to upload or to choose)

uP?

Hmmm, feeling somewhat upbeat now for some reason, passed that rather emo weekend. I guess you can’t be down in the dumps for that long. I gotta feeling this would be a reoccurring moment/scenario/debacle in my life. I would assume that this would be karma, yea still coming from that angle.

Thanks for the concern guys, appreciate it…..

Other one liners:
Friggn phone’s in the shop again,, I really hope that the damn talk software is in the phone’s memory card cos it’s gonna be a real bitch to reconfigure it again, for one thing I probably ve without it for another few days… dam keypad!!

Slosh bash is in afew days, gonna get the beer tomorrow, still wondering what brew to buy….

Contemplating to do a rush job and renew my visa here instead of in Perth, heard from a friend when he did his over there, it takes a long time, as W.A. would stand for .. wait awhile….

Gonna Have to start packing soon, argh

Have other thought in my head that would be really incriminating if I did write it down, then again, I might be stuck in the moment for now….

hell

Hell would be a nice place to be in right now compared to where I am now. I’m train wreck that is and had happened. I don’t need or want shit like this anymore, and she always finds a convenient way of starting shit out of nothing.

The world isn’t perfect, I’m not perfect, not doing something that you want to do doesn’t make a selfish, and if you fucking wanted me to do it, say it.

People do tings for a reason, and if the reason doesn’t seem obvious or so apparent, then it would be something personal right? Or something that even I couldn’t explain.

Now do I have to make that obvious? It’s my own personal turmoil or web that I wanna seal with it in my own way, don’t push me in acorner.

And as always, she’s like pitbull, once she starts, she won’t let go, she’s always right, never wrong,, always stating the tings that cant be done, tings that I can’t change or fix, it’s my problems and something that I would have to deal with the rest of my life. I could always blame you for what I’m going through but that would be an easy excuse to wallow in self pity.

I do think for a split second, for a moment if the world would bebetter of with my existence… lfe for everyone would be easier wouldn’t it….

Somewhat resolved...

Resolved

That would be the definitive word, though it would rather strong. For starters it was nice to have get outta the house, it’s just a personal preference but I at times I just want to get out, I feel so stifled and trapped and my mind just seems to wander somewhat and weird shit sotrta starts to manifest….

Also, had finally quelled my sushi craving.. yes.. had the thoug of eating sushi for awhile.. hah! .. yea sounds kinda neurotic and obsessive … and there’s this common phenomenon of not being able to catch a cab on a Friday night aftr it rains, strangely enough is that how come you can get the cabby operator??? It’s not as if there’s only like 2 lines in the call center or something, and of course, you talk about it to the cabby, they’d go oln about how tough a life they have and all that, , some of which would be true…

Afterthat, acting like 2 deliquent secondary school kids who didn’t want to go home, we ended up at the Living Room bar at the Marriot, which oddly enough on afriday night it was rather quiet, which would also mean that he service was not too bad this time round… not that many interesting wildlife interaction that occurred amongst the nomadic herds.

So we ended up just talking, everytging and anything under the moon, stars sun etc…. Did let everytging out, which I really have qualms to aboutand to which the details I will not divulge.

I can say is that things always, odur and happen for a reason. Yea as my ethos always stands .. shit happens…. I’m just looking at it from another perspective qw I’m writing this now, a lot of thoughts are running through my mind now since I slept and wokeup, some good , some bad, some that’s not mine but others of my closest of kin.

Ok, going to end this abruptly, my wires are crossing at the moment ….,

Life

Cant’s seem to sleep, and yea gonna put it down to my bio clock or if you wanna get technical, your cycadian rthymn has gone outta sync, what the hell.. potato patato …

As always, million thoughts are running trough my mind, some mundane, some that might happen in the future and some of which would be rather absurb. (I’m being very vague here as I have no idea what to write about)

Nothing much happening of late, been bumming and procrastinating.. oh the hardship that university faces. Yup, finally got around to booking my flight back to Perth and somewhat gotten to extend my student visa to which I’m not really bothered at this point as well it will sort itself out (and other elements to which this would speed the process of). And I guess that would go for everything else that is igoing for in my life. Opportunities are meant to taken.

I guess I am in that really boh chup moos nowadays, maybe it’s enjoying what is left of my life of which the only thing I have to worry about is getting good frades and the next tghing would be to start all over again in the big bad world, yes I’ll say it time and time again, where people would discriminate you for the shittiest things, and being visually handicap doesn’t do me any favours and I don’t think I need anyone else to remind me of this.

Or maybe it’s another ring in the bark of life, as most people would know am turning 24 in afew weeks time, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and that goes to a lot of things.

One of which would be that I’m single? Been awhile since I’ve been interesting in anyone, remotely. In most cases the mind tends to overplay things even before shit happens, I’m just wonderig whether I have shelled myself out totally to point of which every female I meet I’ll just regard as a friend, or my standards of what I perceive to be that would be of my level is simply not there and impossible? I wish I knew. All the good ones ar taking or otherwise, too close for comfort.

Life, a small word that would take afew decades to explain, whatever will be, will be, whisper words of wisdom, let it be…..

Monday Night/ Tuesday Morning

The white shirt brigade, the strip shirt brigade, idiots who just stand there and take up space, the bengs and lians who just stand texting (and those that were regognised by their natural calls of the wild), idiots who have an i.q. below 10 (a simple excuse me … like hello?). Yes, it was singapore’s clubbing at it’s very best.











Where? Where everybody knows your name .. hah! Okok, not that notorious lah but I did come across afew familiar faces, was at my old stomping ground which would be zouk on the 2nd Night of the Lunar New Year (Gong Xi Fa Cai Xin Nian Kui Le btw). I don’t know what zouk spent their millions on in refurbishing the place cos it does still look the same, except for afew aesthetic facelifts, though I must the blue hues they used to light the main corridor is somewhat disorientating to somewhere who is extremely intoxicated.

The reason: Paul van Dyk














There she was, her slender silhouette mimicking evet loop, bridge and beat, her slenderness t hypnotic…….

PVD, one of the godfathers of trance, which what I’m used to coming from him would be progressive, uplifting trance with a chilled feel at times. I don’y know whther he’s getting too big for his boots or that he was going through the motions cos the set he dished out was erm, just bad? Really, I thought he would start with something minimal and progressively move it up a notch overtime, but from the word go the first 2 hours of his set was in your face, thumping grinding trance, almost close to being hard edge Detroit Techno.

It was good that the crowd was in it, because his set to me wasn’t flowing at all, it wasdribs and drabs, so I guess that did carry on the party mood. Around 3 a.m. he did move it down abit with a more chilled vibe, strarting of with his athem “For An Angel” which of course would get the crowd going, his set continued on to be more chilled, with elements of Goa trance and slight funky beats thrwown.














Chants of “We want more” revirberated around the mainroom just as we all that he was calling it night, but in true deejaying style, there was moment of silence and soon he was working the wheels of steel.

The set ventured into the darkside of the morning, 6 a.m. I guess? But then we were already having supper/breakfast at River Valley and that ventured into walking down to Orchard Road in search for a cab home….
