My Favourite -- Indie Band

The gray sky in our blue eyes...
~The Favourite

Yishan introduced me to this band, and yes, they are very good with their indie rock stuff. It gives the surreal feeling just like that of postal service. He passed me 2 songs, Le monster (or is it Lemonster?) and 17Berlin.

He claimed that this band is hard to find, and I agreed with him on it. I tried to google it, but i figured since the words "My favourite" are too very common words used on e net, it was futile to find this extinct band from year 2000

Nevertheless, I've found one rocker guy from Youtube who has a video or 2 of them. So enjoy this sounds!

Goodbye Jeff and Hello T3

Theres one droplet for everyone

Jeff was leaving for Switzerland for an exchange programme for 6 months. We went to the airport to see him off in the morning, at about 6am. I drove Zh to e airport while plin and jeslyn followed Uncle Steven in his car. At first, it looked like only his girlfriend and a close friend came to see him off. I didnt noe that half the people occupying Burger King was actually Jeff's family and relatives.. LOL~!

After seeing him off 6.30am, we decided to explore e new terminal, T3. It was opened since last January and had been the hype in the media. The new terminal cost about 1.75 billion dollars and had many engineering marvels, like e ambient sunlight and reflector theme, and had aesthetic values too, such as the hanging garden. And in the middle, once again, is a flying saucer similar to that of the Parliament house.

It was a pity Brewerkz was located inside the departure mall, but thankfully, there was a harrys outside too.

Chinese New Year Day 1 cum mini birthday celebration

Family Photo; From Left(Monster, Little Demon, Mum, Dad, Me)

~Robbin Williams

Okay, to start with the fantastic Chinese New Year, not only did i have my longer hair back, i decided to dress bolder too. Normally, i would top it off with a shirt and a pair of jeans, but this time i wanted to take e extra mile. I wore 2 things that I would not normally wear. 1 pair of black working pants from Giordano and a GRAY VEST from Topman! (topping it off with a white shirt from Muji and a silver tie from somewhere) While i look like a smart casual sweet talking metro-guy (well.. i do have some of these traits), i had good compliments about my outfit, mainly from the aunties. "Hey, you look very hot in this outfit"(actually its phrased as "Hey, isnt what ure wearing very warm?") "Darren, very scholarly ar?" and although my girl cousins may not seem to show it, I had the confidence to go up to them and talk to them.. haha!

so thumbs up for the outfit on day 1. Now to find a picture of it...

We had a little birthday celebration for my mum, who turned.. 47 this year. Bought her a yellow Puma Tote bag~ Felt so happy cos when i was at royal sporting house at IMM, it was twice e amount than the one at Puma shop when i was at Taka later on. And it was a steal before the shop could close for Chu Xi. Anyway, we had a Bakezinn chocolate cake. Super delicious stuff from my dad.

Happy Birthday Mum
Yummy cake Crazy brothers and folks

1st YAF meeting and BBQ dinner

Saw this funny picture on the internet...

My teacher is a ruthless queen,
Her subjects are all from within,
Fear spread throughout the canteen.
Her rule last till three, there's no chance for us to flee,
Let's take cover, else we hear her roar terribly!
~A Poem for PuaLee Terror

3rd Feb was our 1st YAF fellowship meeting. We had it at Aunt Sally house, watching Jesus Camp with their DVD set and flat screen TV. It was a film documentary showing the evangelical Christians in a certain state of America. After the show, as the crowd started to come, we went about singing some songs, before going down to prepare the BBQ area.

If theres anyone that it is good with BBQ food, it would be Aunt Sally and Uncle Kelvin. We had pork chop, potato salad, egg spread crackers, chicken wings marinated with pandan oil, sweet potato, corn, sausages with bacon slices in between. Had a great time feasting and chatting with one another.

Oh, another significant event.. due to a challenge from Plin, saying I couldnt beat her puzzle bozzle high score, I have taken the liberty to prove her wrong.. and.. I have succeeded in doing so by beating her high score by 60,000! Beat that, Plin!

Grp photo.. more to come soon~

Music and Dinner

Maybe my love will come back someday
Oniiiii HHHavEENN NOOOO!!!
~Zao Xia while singing Only Heaven Knows

Had my first karaoke session at cineleisure as one of those farewell sessions wif Jeff. I was supposed to pay $24 for e admission and food, but Plin saved me the trouble and i automatically became a student. Still, it was $17 to sing a bunch of songs. Not cheap man. We sang a couple of songs, took turns at it. Jeff's favourites were Jay Chou, Plin and Jeslyn were SHE and FIR, Gid was avril while mine was mainly rock songs.

I kinda got distracted by all the super local video flashing across the screen with the cheap synthesized rock music, but Plin did warn me about the adverse damage of the English music. Well, I must say that not all the English songs were like that, saved the Avril ones which Gid was really happy not to see cheesy people instead of Avril. But it looked like everyone had a great time singing and eating e snacks. I was a rather noobcake at e whole karaoke thing.. Zao Xia-ing at most parts. But who cares man? Perhaps e next time, I'll ask everyone to bring ear muffs! If there's a next time.. haha~!

Later had dinner with my maternal grandma and the uncles and aunties. It was e standard teochew 8 course meal. All the little brats are growing up, but they still have not remembered my name.. And my brother was busy getting red over the wine. Great meal to end the day~

Pl peeps dining @ 7.30pm

Crush Crush Crush...
~Paramore

Well, it was supposed to be at 6.30pm, but Yongteng and Shawn had to work, and Yishan was at home. So we ended up eating at 7.45pm. Earlier last month, I went to North Delhi Eating Place, so I decided to try the other better rating place at Spice Junction.

Food was okay. Though there were many varieties, portion was smaller than North Delhi's, and spicier. I had Butter Chicken, Aloo Gobi and Garlic Naan, all of this having eaten at India. While the rest had other dishes, like Roast Chicken, or Beef Fry or Briyani Rice, we passed the dishes around so that we can have a bit of everything. I guess the funniest dish was Yongteng's. Chicken Fried Rice. Looked just like any Chinese dish. But it was plentiful, so everyone had a share.

10% for DBS card users. Toilets are clean. :)

everyone (except Yap; left early for soccer)

Ambigram

Sometimes, we need to live life with a different perspective.
~Anon

Since Caveboi could come up wif his ambigram, I decided to give it a go

Photoshopped half the chunk, saving me half the effort, and with a little bit of liquifying, i got it to look pretty neat.

Gothic I might say
This is Draft 1

Updates

Delirious: Um. What's the name of the word for things not being the same always...the thing that lets you know time is happening?
Dream: Change
~The Sandman: Brief Lives

Yeah, updated my rock anthem.. thought hearing the same songs from 2007 will be kinda boring.. Been loving the Foo Fighters and oldies like Creed, Alter Bridge and RHCP.

Like Neil Gaiman; hes my man of literature and visual art!
