Stereophonics

I got a free ticket to go see the Stereophonics last night so I did. I love some of their songs but don’t love them as a band. Towards the end of the show, some fella threw a slipper at lead singer, Kelly Jones, and hit him on his face. Kelly stopped the song, picked up the slipper and held it to the crowd and said GOOD NIGHT and walked off the stage. It was weirrrrd and stupid of course, but more weird for me because I’ve never seen anything like this before!

But Kelly Jones is more of a champ than a rockstar - attitude wise - he came back on, finished the last few songs and thanked the crowd, da da da. And the other out-of-the-ordinary thing was hanging out with a 13-year-old the entire time. A friend brought his lil brother along. Kids actually say LOL in real life. Like ‘lol’. Weird. Word. Whoopee.

I’m going roller-blading with my friends in a bit, sk8terz!

We fold like icicles on paper shelves

Some photos from Au Revoir Simone’s show at The Esplanade last Sunday.

Just to show the cute outfits they had on!

Pretty much want Erika Forster’s dress, yes

The girls had the cutest smiles in the whole world really. They played two shows that night and I went for the earlier one. I’m not sure if they saved the best for last or something but there were many obvious mistakes during the first show. Which made it very awkward to watch. And they didn’t play The Lucky One! Guess I ain’t so lucky. Regardless, I had a real nice time with xwen and friends tho which goes to show, good company trumps all!

No need to come to me, when I can make it all the way to you

This is The xx playing at The Esplanade on Sunday. Can’t say enough THANK YOUs to Young for turning me on to their music! I’ve been youtube-ing the band all day. And it was so nice to see my friends on Sunday too, have I been home that long?

Good Tuesday, wherever you are and happy dust for each and everyone of you.

GREEN DAY!

14 JAN 2010, I MET MY CHILDHOOD HEROES.

GUY #1 MADE TO JUMP INTO THE MOSHPIT

ONE OF THE MANY LUCKY FANS WHO GOT TO HANG OUT WITH BILLIE JOE ON STAGE. I THINK SHE’S THE ONE HE KISSED! ON THE HAND, HEEHEE.

GUY #2 MADE TO JUMP INTO THE MOSHPIT. THERE WAS ANOTHER VERY YOUNG BOY WHO JUMPED TOO. ANYWAY THIS DUDE WITH THE GREEN HAIR, HE SANG THE ENTIRE SONG TO ‘LONGVIEW’… ON STAGE, WITH THE BAND. !!!!! HE ROCKED IT THO, SO PROUD!!!

THERE WERE LOTS OF TOYS. THIS ONE WAS USED TO BLAST T-SHIRTS INTO THE CROWD.

I’M REALLY GLAD THEY PLAYED ‘BURNOUT’ AND ‘KING FOR A DAY’. I HAD SUCH A GOOD TIME, I’M STILL SMILING. THEY WERE SO AWESOME LIVE. IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE A MILESTONE IS COVERED Y’KNOW? I PROMISE THE NEXT POST WON’T BE IN CAPS, NOT TILL NEXT SUNDAY, WHEN THE KILLERS COME PLAY! !!!!!!

Oasis

They came, they did their thing, they left. Can’t say they conquered though.

Concerts are the best times to take bokeh as you can tell.

wk13; blue

I haven’t been posting and probably won’t be for awhile more. Stuff happened and i know stuff happens so i’m trying to roll with it. Plus this blog is my happy place so i’m not going to rain on it. But tonight gave me reason to be a little happy because despite ordering everything i wouldn’t usually eat on the menu, the food turned out good. & in our attempt to find the Esplanade Park, we ended up listening to these lovely girls singing at the Waterfront. We didn’t manage to catch their band name, was anyone else there and knows who they are?

They sounded like angels. Stay safe now.

Ole ole ole Coldplay

I’m awfully tired but i know this has to go up before i sleep away the happy buzz the show left me. Three years back, i went to see them and they ranked #1 as favourite concert ever since then. Tonight, they topped themselves! I could do a whole essay on what they did right but in short, they looked like they were having such a good time playing, being this band and that’s all they needed to do.

I felt i went to this huge party and had so much fun. All these little things they did, Chris Martin was funny, videography was hands-down impressive, at one point so many people were standing on their chairs dancing, Chris Martin made us do the mexican wave with our cellphones… I forget some now but i just didn’t want the party to end. And if you care enough to know what i wore, this is what. Because after tonight, my prior excitement to my Life in Technicolour attempt at dressing up just amounted to nothing!

Haa i know, the masks, just had to do them. That’s my boyfriend, Ben, who kindly accompanied me in this shot!

Little things around the house

This post should have been written a lot earlier but i never got down to taking the photos required before sundown. (My home isn’t well-lit enough for photos after dark.) I have been toying with the idea of posting photos of my home and i toyed a little too much with it for too long and in turn, i ended up knowing it would make me feel a little naked. I’m always a bit guarded of what goes up on this blog but i will show you some little things i put around the house! I thought it might be something you could laugh at me for.

Basically i like to put little things on top of switches. I haven’t covered all the switches in my house but majority has its lot taken up, haha. 

And some else on top of frames. Lastly i thought i’d share this silly song my boyfriend and i sang many months ago (complete with mistakes!), this is to make up for not blogging often enough. I do hate for you to come here and not see a new post for a week!

Last night

Camera Obscura played and i had such a good time bobbing to the music. This was what i wore - the dress is vintage and is a gift, boots are vintage via ebay.

After the show, we decided to go get autographs because they’re really sucha cute bunch of people. We were last in line and so our prerogative was to ask for a group photo with the band.

Which we got! So yay, gots to be the highlight of the night. Plus the pianist passed me their setlist they played two nights ago (in Taiwan i’m guessing?) so i’ll take a photo of that and show it in the week’s roundup. Imma gonna find a frame and frame it up! I know it’s just a rotten piece of paper but it sure felt like gold in my hands last night.

And photos were taken by my lovely friend, Caili.

wk33; less than perfect

I’ve been absent i know and i’m afraid this week’s photos might not be up to par. My grandmother is in the hospital and all i’ve done this week is make trips there and back. So my week hasn’t been flourished with much apart from precious time spent with my grandfolks. I promise better content next week!

Hi Gracie

Yesterday was one of the highlights of August for me. After many many years of wishful thinking, Death Cab for Cutie finally came to town to do a show! The show happened a little too quickly for me or perhaps it took me too long to fully realise they were in fact playing on the stage. My boyfriend managed to film them playing “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”, i wished i could share their last song for the night “Transatlanticsm” but my trusty camera ran out of memory, queh.

This is what i wore - vintage dress from ebay (sleeves altered shorter) and my bag was thrifted in nyc.

I’m not sure if you can make out two buttons at the empire waistline, it’s kinda cute having the buttons attached to the belt instead of simply sewn on.

Alright here is the video i mentioned earlier, be warned that there’s some screaming a few seconds into the video, so go soft on the volume first.
