Street Fest 2011

Blink of an eye, 2 years has gone.

And the third Street Fest i had went.

Ask me how is it?

And i will tell you that, i heard bad bands, and i definitely heard good ones.

So good, they really inspired me.

So much so, i told Derf, "5 years later, i wanna be at least near their standard."

Anyways, i was there about 1 PM plus.

Stayed there to listen to a number of bands...

And it's not their fault actually, the sound system was the culprit.

It made the instruments' volume cover the vocal's.

And it turned out that the vocal's sound too soft.

We went off to walk around in Vivo City.

And this interests me.

My my. Roasted meat. Yummy~

And really had fun with the guys from JCIG.

I really had good laughs with them.
So funny, so fun~ =)

Back to the auditorium, the bands were playing.

And i guess they really put the best shows at the back.

There was this band Kiseki, who had a vocalist who reminds me of Ruki so much.

Even the way he sings.

I guess the crowds like him too =)

Oh yes, there were fireworks from Universal Sudios Singapore too.

So cool.

So nice.

I really love fireworks alot. Haha~

And of course, the band Renaissance was the one which inspired me the most.

The vocalist was really awesome.

He covered two of Alice Nine's which brought back memories =)

He's really cool~

So does the Guitarist. Hahaa~

They really inspired me.

Hahaha~

Man~~~

Oh yes, on random, i also got myself a copy of Popteen... Overdued =(

Aww well, somewhat, better late than never =)

Ah~~~ Looks promising.

Hey guys.

Before i start anything, i want you guys to do this quiz Linda let me tried.

http://www.quizbox.com/personality/test82.aspx

How do you guys find it?

Pretty true right?

It's pretty awesome how true can we related to a quiz.

Well, at least it's true to me.

I got this for my result.

-------------------------------------------

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

-------------------------------------------

How do you guys think? Does it fit me?

Hahaha~

Anyways, i had my interview with Jewel Box@Mount Faber.

Aww gosh, boy it's really a nice nice place.

And it'd really be my honor to work there, if i got in, that is.

Well, since Linda and me was going to the same place for interview, we went off together.

Yes, we partial-ed and head off Mount Faber.

Went off early, just in case that we lost our way or something, but that was highly unlikely.

But we did went to the wrong lobby (Which we thought was the ticketing lobby).

But hey, after that, we went up the correct building.

Which was really tall, like 15 storeys?

And we took the cable car ^_^

I think it's my first time taking it, as far as i could remember.

It's really fun.

I feel like a kid on a excursion to a new place.

And if you're just curious how high it could get...

Haha~

So, i guess if you're scared of height, it's not really recommended huh? =D

Ah, and the place is really awesome.

Scenic and all, you can actually see the city from there.

I didn't take it well, but yea, it's really awesome.

The restaurants are great too.

Love the Al Fresco dining bar.

I think it's called Moonstone.

Yea, all the restaurant are names after precious stone and jewels.

Guess it's not hard to imagine why they are, or why the whole place is called Jewel Box huh? =)

The next place i would actually talk about is the toilet.

Yes, toilet.

Not the kind which you have in mind.

But man... It's really awesome.

The view off the hilltop is really breath-taking.

And for the ladies.....

Ah, Linda took it.

No, there was no one inside. And we only took the scenery and the facilities (I'm no perv, ok?)

~~~~~

Honest. You've gotta go there if you can.

It's really breath-taking.

My guess is that at night, it'll be much more awesome, with the lights and all.

But well, we didn't stay till that.

But aww well, i really wanna see it~~~

I wanna eat there too, sometime~~~

Mmmm... I really hope i can get in there as Guest Relation Officer~

I should have done this last night.

Yes, this is a post i should have done last night.

But well, chatting Ah Yao and Derf, i forgot this.

Aww well, i enjoyed myself pretty well ^_^

Ah, just gonna keep this short ya?

Ok~ Mom got me a new fragrance.

It's by Burberry.

Touch For Men.

And silly me was trying to take a picture of it for here.

And, after taking a few of it.

Then i realised i took it wrongly; i took the back of the box =_=

Anyways, the box was a good one.

Looks nice~

And the bottle, looks so so cool.

Ah, have yet to try it.

So i guess, i'll try it for my interview this Thursday? =)

And, Ryan's Mom and Dad got an Agnes B T-shirt from Hong Kong.

Lovely~

I love it~~ ^_^

Ah, recording mix later on.

Haha~

Anyways, i'll go first.

Post another post later on, perhaps?

At last? Spark?

Ah~

I think today's a productive day... Sort of~

I planned two mixes.

So now all that is left is to record them and upload up Soundcloud, and send them in for 'evaluation'.

Mmmm.

Hope it goes well~~ And all.

And, i decided and narrowed down the list of songs that i should try for the event.

You see.

I have 'Guren', 'Kumo no Ito' and 'Sakurane' (Yes, the one by Piko).

Just have to memorise the lyrics.

And see i can put which at the back of my hand the fastest.

Haha~

But in general, i'm a busy boy, i guess.

Memorising lyrics, prepare mix, studying for test, preparing for interview for this coming Thursday.

Bought Hed Kandi's Twisted Disco 2011 online.

My my, i find myself loving it more than 2010's.

More tunes which i find myself more comfortable i guess?

But then again, like a man who knows no limit, i already planned the album to buy next.

My my, how can i not buy?

Beach house, my favorite genre =)

Hmmm...

But even so, i have no money now =/

Decisions....

Ah, sent my application for Haru House this morning.

And they replied by the time i finished work.

They told me if i could change my choice of song to suit the theme of the event.

Hmm....

I have very limited choice on that genre =/

See...

I have listed a few.

'Guren' by The GazettE, 'Kumo no Ito' by Mika Nakashima and 'Mugen no Hikari' by Terra.

I have the same problem for these songs.

I can't memorise the lyrics =/

Aww well, i'll work that out as soon as possible i guess.

Ah, it's Ah Xian's birthday too.

And i covered a song for him as his birthday present.

Hope he likes it.

But it seems like he's pretty emo.

Hmm....

Hope everything goes well for him.

As for me, it's off-day.

So i guess i can afford to sleep late, and lie-in as long as possible.

Ah~ =)

Hmmm.... Another option.

So you see, Sentosa called me this morning.

I was offered an interview for Mount Faber's attachment.

I applied for them, and some errors happened.

Thus taking a long time, i suppose?

Anyways, i accepted the interview.

There was two keywords that became the factor of me going for the interview.

First, they mentioned "...Retail..." which other details i couldn't remember clearly.

And next (the crucial one), "... we will be providing complimentary tickets to cable car..."

Yes, make no mistake about it.

Complimentary ticket = free cable car ride.

It's been a long time since i last took a ride on a cable car.

So long ago, i couldn't remember.

Anyways, it's gonna be cool, that's for sure =)

Ah, it's cold now.

Like air-con cold now.

I love such weather.

Guess it's like a reward for withstanding the terribly warm weather for the past few days.

I'm grateful.

Anyways, i'm not too sure about myself these days.

I'm getting more and more reluctant to be proud of myself.

And my personality is seemingly getting more and more volatile.

I'm not being myself these days.

This is bad.

Ok, a quick one before i sleep.

So today's my UT2 for Human Resource.

Hmmm. I doubt i'll be doing well for it.

After all, miracles don't happen twice.

I mean, things work whereby you would get a grade A for test, by not studying and playing games.

It is either that you are just plain lucky, or you are a genius.

I'm daft, so i'll rule out the latter.

Thus, i guess i'm just so lucky.

Anyways, i'll keep this short.

I'm sleepy, and it's already 1 in the morning.

Watch this.

Familiar?

I posted this 2 years ago.

It took me only now to look up its meaning.

And guess what?

It just reminds me of her.

What a joke.

I was listening to this when i first met her, and was with her.

And to now realise that, this song just describe how she could have possibly felt at the moment she was with me.

But hey, now that i think back, i couldn't hate her now.

I lost all the reasons to.

Thinking back, there's no point in that.

It's all the past.

And come to think of it, i feel like chatting up with her.

I don't know.

Anyways, you guys must be guessing that i am emo.

For some reasons.

Like thinking back about my relationship with her, or being ditch, or blah blah blah.

I don't know.

But i am not.

I'm not the least emo.

I'm just stating facts, and probably wondering why things are happening.

Like you see.

"But if that 'he' could be me, how happy will i be. But, i doubt she'll ever lay her eyes on me"

It's just merely relaying the feelings i had the other time. And perhaps when i read her tweets or FB status (This is from another person now, in case you are guessing)

I'm rather curious.

Aren't you curious too?

Why people say things like "All good guys are dead" when there's someone so good standing right in front of them?

Or like "I want to fall in love" when they are not doing anything for it.

I must admit i am guilty of committing the latter.

But, now that i realised it, i didn't see having a relationship as a 'i must have it, otherwise i will die...' now, as opposed to what i used to think.... I guess?

For now, i guess my stance for it would be just 'If it's there, it's there. Otherwise, either i work hard for it, or i shut up about it.'

Aww well...

I guess that's me for ya.

Lesson learnt...

I guess for the past three years or so...

Or perhaps 2 yeas ago, i have been just someone who doesn't care about what is going around me.

I couldn't be bothered.

Call me aloof.

But i just can't seem to care.

Guess you could say, i didn't place any emphasis on fame, achievement etc.

You could say, i was 'sleeping', didn't care about anything so much.

But i guess, i just have to care about it.

I have to wake up.

Within this time-frame of 3 years or more, i have actually achieved much more than what other had achieved, or even wished to achieve.

But i said nothing of it, spoke nothing of it, and felt nothing of it.

I wasn't even the least proud of it.

I didn't spoke much of those things that i have achieved.

So much so that no one ever believed that i could have done so much things.

And that i am the mere personification of 'Never judge a book by its cover'.

Perhaps as you can see by now, i am starting to be more proud of myself and my abilities.

If i want to be appreciated by someone else, i have to appreciate myself first.

After all, "If you can't love yourself, how can you expect someone to love you?"

Maybe being in a competitive environment wasn't a bad thing after all.

It actually wakes me up, and see what i really want.

It makes me realise that by making others happy, you might not necessarily be happy.

And most of the time, it is impossible to make everyone happy.

Thus, moral here is that i've gotta know who are worth for me to go that extra mile for.

10 weeks have past, and i have to be 'awakened' now.

I can't stay in that slumber and being 'drunk' all the time.

I've gotta show those empty vessels that, substance isn't shown by speaking alot of empty words.

Substance is that kind of things you show by your performance.

And while i was in my 'slumber', there was alot of opportunities.

But i just gave them a pass.

Now that i want that, i just missed it.

Lesson learnt. "Grab whatever that is within your reach, no matter how meager."

Gee, then again, it might just be a good thing that for now, i don't have a girlfriend, or a significant other.

I don't want her to see me in such a state, such an ugly state.

Tainted by angst, hatred and unjust.

Aww well, just let's things be then...

Serendipity?

Ah, i did so many things today.

Isn't that good?

What did i do?

Went to buy my first copy of Pop Sister.

Finally collected my Secondary School Graduation Certificate.

Bought Mom's birthday present.

And jogged, this evening (After so so long).

What's cool is, i think i found my own way of warming up my vocals.

Ok~

First i'll talk about finally landing my grubby hands on the latest copy of Pop Sister.

Planned very long ago already~

And Miss Mandy is my accomplice. Hahaha~

Look, Tsubasa Masuwaka's looking cute on cover as Milky Bunny.

How can you not resist the temptation to buy?

On the side note, have you checked her PV out?

It's so cute, and she has a great voice which doesn't sound like how you would thought she would sound like (Gee, that's a mouthful, i can't imagine saying that out =/ )

Anyways, sadly things didn't turn out as expected (I'm a bad planner and a bad surpriser T^T )

And we went back after getting the copy.

Reaching the station near my Secondary School, i realised there something i have to collect.

Hmmm, took me 3 years to remember. Silly me.

Anyways, it just looks so cool. Somehow.

Don't you agree?

Took a long journey bus back ( Not exactly a long one, since it loops.)

It's nostalgic.

Always taking it that manner to go back home.

Enjoyed so much.

I guess i miss the past pretty much too. Haha~

Its simplicity.

Then head to my Primary school to collect things as well.

But sadly, it's not there anymore =(

But aww well, took some pictures actually.

Though it changes alot, but there's still some part that remains.

I like this pond alot.

It just brings back alot of memories.

And guess what? It is somewhat the source of a very bad habit i have now.

Anyways, i got Mom her birthday gift, from Forever 21.

Sadly, she didn't like it. Due to the visual prints on the shirt.

Otherwise, she would've liked it alot.

Aww well~

I think i'll just end here.

So tired~

I wondered.... But i think i understand now.

I'm sorry i have been ranting on things like "I hate going to school" or "I hate the people there".

And i don't think i will stop this, not until the end of this semester.

I am aware i must've sounded like an early teenager venting his frustrations on his blog, lamenting and ranting and all.

But hey, sometimes, it just gets on my nerves.

And i guess it's just a way to vent those feelings.

I just can't stand them, those condescending people.

Come on, mocking people who is trying hard doesn't make you smart, or look cool.

It just makes you a jerk or a bitch.

And i don't get it.

What's the point of acting cool and bragging about your grade?

That doesn't make you cool, that makes you a nerd, which you are now.

Come on, let's face it.

Your grades don't make you cool. It's your personality.

And if you personality is so fucked-up, how can you be cool?

People won't described you as cool, they will describe you as fucked-up, as you are now.

And yet another one, who brags about grades too.

And woa? You brag about practically every little achievements you make.

Well, i envy you for that. For making a mountain out of a mole hill.

I clap my hands for you.

There's more i'd like to say.

But it's getting late.

Kinda tired to do so.

Haha~

But i must admit that i've somewhat changed into a harder person of some sort.

I realised that i can't always be a nice guy.

Nice guys don't finish last, nice guys dies first, from being used in this fucked-up world.

I'm getting more and more angsty these days.

And i don't think this feeling will go away... Not until i finished my term in here.

Now i get why people change, especially nice people who ended up as bad guys.

It's the environment.

Like the Chinese says, "You're dyed red when you're close to vermilion and you're dyed black when you're close to ink".

To think i'll end up like scums like them too. Hahaha~

I laugh at myself too.

I really hope i can break away from this soon.

Before i change into someone i hate myself to be.

Or even change into 'that person'.

The fun with Kaya

Ah~

Tomorrow (Or is it later on? Hmmm....) is UT2 for Service Quality and Professional Etiquette.

But the problem is, i have not yet studied.

I lack the feel of studying it.

I'm more keen on studying lyrics of the different songs i want to cover, than to study for test.

Which isn't very good, but that's what i feel at this point of time.

And earlier this noon afterschool, went to join the guys (and a lady) from Kaya Brigade.

Man... And it was enjoyable.

Listening to them recording stuff.

And listening singing as a group.

And generally just playing around.

Honestly speaking, i never like being in groups, except for being in Big 5 or Boliao, or being the 'three musketeers' with Ray and Ah Xian.

Perhaps due to the very fact that i hate groupies.

But i actually like being in the Kaya Brigade.

I don't know why. They're just nice people, i suppose.

A fresh taste unlike the people i see in school.

Similar to the kinder people in school (Namingly, friends)

Aww well,i guess like-minded people just get together and clicks pretty well.

Ah, for now.

I just feel so sleepy.

Guess i'll be turning in sooon.

As soon as my hair dries...

After Ignite, i know.....

Ah, it's a pity i couldn't go both Ignite yesterday and Haru's SYF.

Man.... Heard both are really awesome.

But aww well, had fun at work as well.

I went for Friday's show.

Man...

It's awesome.

Love the music from Giants Must Fall and Sixx.

Totally rocking.

There was this guy band as well.

The vocalist's so freaking awesome, i don't think i can reach his 'level' anytime soon.

Here's some picture i took.

Tried to take it good, didn't turn out as expected.

But well.... There's a first time for everything =)

I like Giants Must Fall.

Love the vocalist for her voice.

She can do Lounge or Ambience with her voice very well, in my opinion.

I love Sixx too.

They remind me very much of Mihimaru GT.

Love their urban,funky groovy style.

You guys rock ;D

Ah, and it's a pity i could go for yesterday's Haru event.

Heard there was a free karaoke session after that. Man...

If i could, i would so wanna join the event =(

But aww well, i'm so gonna join the next event.

Most probably gonna try Glamorous Sky.

Found a new way to cover.

So, keep your eyes keen here ;D

And you know, now i know why i couldn't find anyone.

It is 'cause i don't love myself enough.

Don't have the courage and confidence to be proud of myself.

And since 'I can't love myself, how can i love another?'

So i've decided, i have to be proud of myself, i have to have self-confidence.

Come to think of it, i think should be.

I mean, who could become a finalist for a DJ-ing competition, with knowledge of the music just 3 months prior?

Who could awe his audience or at the very least people who hear him sing, be praised and likened his voice to one of his idol ?

So maybe i might be something after all.

I just gotta believe in myself =)
