ilights on Earth Hour.

Hey guys.
Procrastinated as always, about blogging.
But it has been really busy these few days.

Was working at the warehouse for the whole week of last fortnight.
And was back at the Jewel Box last week.
Will be working, in order to support my thirst to go out.
It's really scary, how much you can spend just by going out.
But i want to see more things.
Had enough of cooping at home.
When boredom sets in, you tend to think too much.
Before long, life will be a drag, melancholic and miserable.
I'm really amazed at how i could stay at home for such a long time, in the past.

Ok, shall talk about what happened the other day when we were at ilights....
Wait, the day before it.

I was there after work, loitering around Marina Bay.
Seriously, it's my favorite haunt next to Orchard Road.
Oh come on, free good music by indie bands performing there, isn't that great?
To be honest, i find the indie bands performing there really good.

Just like on that day, it was this band performing at amphi-theatre.

That lady had a rather strong vocal, with a husky feel to it.
But still, i still find another band which i heard sometime ago better.
It was somewhere during Valentine's day.
And she had her own variation of 'I don't wanna miss a thing'.
It's really captivating.
It's a waste i did not catch the name of the band.
To be honest, local bands like these deserves more recognition and what Esplanade does is giving them the justice they deserve =)

After lingering in the amphi-theatre for a while, i decided to head down to the exhibits of ilights.
I'm just addicted to it, i must admit.
I mean, how can you not be attracted to nice things, right?
Call me superficial, but such a man i am.

But i managed to stay around at the floating stadium area only.
It seems that my leg injury hasn't recovered.
Thus, i went back after taking some pictures.
So here's some pictures i took before i headed home.












Went there the next day with family, since Sis wants to take some pictures for her portfolio.
There was two events held side-to-side with ilights on that night.
First was the dog show or something.
When we were there, there was alot of doggies here and there.
It's a fun sight.
But what caught our attention was this huge guy.

An Alaskan Malamute.
His head was definitely large than mine.
He's just huge, but friendly.

Oh, and the next event?
It's the Earth Hour.
Yes, the power was cut off soon after we arrived.
So the exhibitions wasn't powered and thus, no ilights for us for an hour or so.
Pretty silly as it sounds, but we found something much more interesting.

It was this group of enthusiasts playing this kite-like fly object.
They look spectacular, especially with coordination.
Little words can describe how it feels, except for seeing it for yourself.
Well, luckily i had taken it down on video.
So i could share with everyone =)

And here's what i took.










We decided to wait till the light is back.
But before then, there was much to see.
Like for example, this elderly couple making figurines using dough.
Something nostalgic. Reminds me when i was young. Haha~
Then there's also this group which plays the percussion instruments which donning lighted suits.
How cool is that?

Well, it was really fun that night.
I enjoyed myself pretty much.
Isn't it a good way to enjoy your weekend?

As for now, it isn't a good weekend for me.
You know, having flu (or just an overheat) isn't something enjoyable.
Being under the weather takes a toll on the body, i suppose.
The weather's being a bitch these days.

And planning did go rather smoothly as well.
But i'm not sure whether they hit the 45 minute mark.
Aww well, i've gotta head down to Ray's place to record.
Perhaps on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Gotta check with him.

Ah, gotta go now.
Bathing and resting soon.
Nite~

Tired. Lethargic. Fatigue.

Hey guys.
Currently feeling real tired now.
Guess working two days straight carrying stocks does take a toll on my body.
Especially it's one that rarely exercises.
But on the bright side, pay will be in real soon.
So i can get those things i'm keeping-in-view of.

Recently, i'm coming up with a list of things i want to get.
Those things that i will buy once i have enough.
So far, here's what i place in my 'wishlist'
- More Fierce Angels Album (I'm eyeing on a few now)
- Bargrooves Albums (Saw a few, heard a few, love their album art)
- Marshall Minor (They're like bass amps in the form of earphones)
- Pioneer HDJ-1000 Black Limited Edition (I know i have my own headphones, but i admit that i'm greedy)
- Pioneer DDJ Ergo (Yes, after seeing Ray's deck, i am inspired to get one for myself)
Well, there are more. But so far, these are what i can mentioned of, from my tired brain.

And i don't know what, i was reminded of a conversation i had with a friend not too long ago.
Well, we were talking about our past relationship, when we spoke of our current state of being single.
Then she said something which makes perfect sense.
"... So now, as i am single, God must be writing a good story for my next relationship.
God... You can take your time to write it, as long as it is a good one..."
It was this statement, which made me realise being single isn't that bad afterall.
Rushing into one, always ends up pretty badly. For me at least.
So awww well, i'm staying as how i am.
'It's your loss for not choosing me, it'll be your fortune if you do.'
That's my stance on the situation.

Oh yes, and it's just less than an hour that i saw the ad for JUICE DJ quest.
Yes, i really wanna join.
At least, to give myself a chance to go up that stage and shine.
It will be a good opportunity (as well as an excuse) for me to brush up my skills.
I will come up with a few good mixes, hopefully, and choose the best one to submit.
Keep you eyes peeled.

Getting some shut eyes soon.
Ciao~
