I know I have been missing for a while...its february now...after my last post.


Please pardon me, I am so tired after work that I do not wish to switch on my laptop.

I just want to spend time with people, sleep and yes, eavesdrop on Muthu's phone calls(like he claims).

so Yes, Please tolerate my faithfulness to this blogspot...

The annual sastha pillaigal CNY beach affair was a enjoyable event...it was so popular that when we played dog and bone...there were audiences..hahahaha...


anyway back to the tittle, I had very colourful conversations with different people...


the friday, SKINHEAD GIG AT BUGIS...


I went to tekha, blue diamond to have dinner with my ladies. As I had to get worms for the weekend projects. I decided to call praba for help. He was so sweet to check it out for me! THANKS PRABA!!!..amidst his kavadi preparations. The girls went to do threading..I badly need one but just feel so lazy to go under the thread...argghhh!!!


We headed down to skinhead gig...it was in an alley in bugis...Fai met us there and I got myself 2 tops from dorothy Perkins. I was scared first...very scared.. I didn't want to go but I trusted AZE..so I went along... We were standing with her friends' band. My heart was thumping..I loved the music...the guitar and the drums makes you wanna dance. What shocked me was how they were dancing to it. They were moshing each other, in simple terms...shoving each other... till at some parts, they fall and get stepped on...OUCH! I went to chill with them and made new friends. HALIMUN AND MANDEEP SINGH...


I realised they are not what I perceived them to be, They were friendly funny and yes very , funky! The first question I asked, Isn't it painful? Their reply, its brotherhood..tomoro then pain...hahaha...I learnt that in singapore there are two types, ADELPHI AND FORUM. and they have their own Brothers who look after them..or are highly respected. Anyway, they have education. Halimun is an ITE graduate and Mandeep was the top '0' level student in normal academic stream this year. I got rid of the fear and am looking forward the next gig.


THE TAXI RIDE..


The both of us have been taking taxi since his bike went into ICU FOR THREE WEEKS NOW

poor him! but i have been having fun, walks...

So yes, the taxi driver had just paid respect to his late friend..and was starting his shift again.

I kept quiet BUT listened to him intensely... hE spoke about how music influences him and how he feels that indian music has it influences in western music...than he made this statement..I am a musician..no, I WAS a musician. I didn't wanna say anything so I kept quiet...But inside of me, I asked, Just because he stopped being a jazz pianist, does not mean he's not a musician. He still is...everybody is...RIGHT?! ever since, I did some readings on my music modules, alot of perceptions have changed and I am more open now to identify and respect other genres...


well, music is a way of life....


ok.bf nagging.wants to sleep.wants to say good night.wants me to turn off the laptop.


Byes.Before I scream at him!


P.S. ONE OF THE TOPS FROM FRI'S SHOPPING...I LOVE MY SHADES!
