The cleaning auntie from work was updating me about the passing of our ex-Archbishop Gregory Yong and then in the mist of the topic my other colleague mentioned that Lee Kuan Yew might be a Christian. I paused for a while before asking if his christian name is Anthony, Anthony Lee Kuan Yew.. lol Anyway, i don't think anybody can confirm if he is really a Christian in the first place. |

one of my favourite bands, envy, will play singapore in august, and i won't be there. so close to my birthday too. i'm almost pissed to tears! >:| }:O :((( very sad. very sad. i'm very crushed. envy started destroying me seven years ago, and now i'm finally annihilated knowing that they are going to be there while i'm here. cruel.. cruel.. cruel.. it's finally a free weekend, but now, i will spend it entirely lying on the floor. on another note. be there to see them. they deserve you. if you do, i'll hug you when i return. i promise. i feel that their music and words are amongst the most beautiful ever written and performed, and their precious pieces have been among those that carried me through many a downing time. unfortunately, because of that, i'm quite afraid to listen to them at times, because the avalanche of memories and emotions that follows can sometimes paralyse me and break me down to tears. i listened to them on the last train from london just a few nights ago, and i kept facing the window because i thought the carriage wasn't empty. i wonder why my psyche reflexes became like this again. i haven't been so for a very long time too. to be honest, even if i say i wonder why, i don't really care for the consequences of being so this time round. probably because i think i've accepted what i am meant to be. or maybe because i sometimes rely on such reflexes to do the work that people have come to expect from me now. with that, despite how unhealthy it seems, i think i don't mind, but i'm still never sure. this "another note" has overgrown. stop. |

So many things to do, so little time! The amount of cases to handle at work is piling up. Every other colleague has been asking me "can you come help do something my class' students? they are very naughty etc". Sometimes I feel like a utility man expected to fix things (ie. student problems) on the spot lol. Oh well. Many other things going on too. So much that I don't even know where to begin with. Sometimes I wonder how some people have so much time to grumble and whine so much when they claim to be extremely busy. I mean, if one is that busy, where got time to even grumble and whine so much? Just get on with it man! If there's some time to spare, I reckon it'd be better spent by catching up with some rest lol. Will be back when I can organize some thoughts. A little break from things would be good! |

the 'moshing' continued over to today, and it told me something. was queuing up for lunch today when the fellow in front backed into me and stepped on my toes. my reflex was to support him with both hands. that very second, i felt like i was still in the pit. that's point one. just now, as i was hurrying out of my room to stop the cooking timer, i somehow banged my right foot into the wall next to my doorway, sending a shock wave to the two smallest toes. i ended up fumbling out of my door from the hit, looking up to see jussi laughing at me. that's point two. point one resulted in no pain, point two did. that tells me one thing – converse shoes are the choice of rock for a very good reason. toecaps. my poor converse shoes got dirty again from yesterday's gig. :( glad i didn't wear my silver shoes there yesterday! stayed in my studio the whole of today to get a chunk of work done. jussi and i bumped into hoping on the way home. they are still so pumped from yesterday that i'm now responsible for organising gig trips on a regular basis. haha. yosh. pretty much went around the whole day in slow-mo mode. floating. |

Society has fallen apart as authority has become lost and stagnant. One day, a man awakens in a ruined room. His name is Kaiba. He has no memories, but he does have a pendant with a picture of an unknown woman inside... In the skies a mysterious cloud of electricity floats, stalking the streets to hunt for memories. After suddenly being attacked, Kaiba escaped into space, and during his travels meets all sorts of people and regains his memories. Throughout it he continues to be troubled by the world's problems, as well as his own existence. And what of the woman in the pendant, Neiro? ~ Description from Kaiba page @ Crunchyroll. The trailer : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cW2Rtr7h7Q Kaiba is a futuristic surreal Japanese anime. Its the arts that attracted me to check it out and fell in love with it. Wello, I guess I got a thing for deep philosophy and depressing concept bah, lolz =P Its not a show for children anyway. Yeeah~ Mature contents involve. |

just had a shower after coming home from the melt banana show. it's possibly the best night i ever had this year – and i know it's the case for jussi as well. jussi and i decided not to go school today and spent the afternoon in london before the show. jean-marc, hoping, elena and toby met us near the venue right before the show. got in, and we found ourselves a comfy couch to hang around and drink. jussi and i decided to dash out to grab some sandwiches nearby. the supporting band, rolo tomasi, was superb. incredibly intense and groovy. they are easily a hundred times more engaging 'live' though. i couldn't resist and i started moving and dancing to their performance. jean-marc thought eva was hot, while i thought she was hot for her choice of dress and her moves! there was about a 15-minutes break before melt banana appeared – just enough to down a couple more pints of beer. haha. once i heard what sounded like someone testing the bass guitar, i quickly finished up my last beer and joined the spot that would be the pit. jussi, jean-marc and hoping got into the pit as well. i think elena and toby were at somewhere else less physical. then, it began. it was tops. such a sensual and non-stop release from start to end. banging, swinging, hopping, spinning, dancing, etc, etc. i felt like i've ran five kilometres by the end of it. hoping and jussi stayed on the skirts of the pit after a while, but jussi joined back in after he recovered some energy. jean-marc only left once to answer a call, only to be back in full force again. then, it got so high that jean-marc started grabbing me and throwing me into the air over and over again! it was great. i felt like i was on a trampoline! a couple of times, yako (vox) leaned over really closely and glared at us while sticking her tongue out. i stuck my tongue out back at her each time. haha. i should have jumped up and tapped her nose. they played a lot of my favourite tunes, and it kicked me up into hyper mode every time. once, yako was telling us that they were going to play a cover, so i started shouting "monkey man" and got a couple of adjacent audience shouting together. jean-marc doesn't know any better, but he started shouting it as well. hahaha. and the band played it! needless to say, the fun multiplied! there were a couple of unfortunate incidents though. one guy dived from the stage, but nobody caught him. lol. we were in the front, so we could hear the painful sound of bones hitting the hard floor, despite the music being really loud. people gave him his own circle of space for his friend to help him up. i wasn't sure if the song was ending then or if the band suspended the song for the poor fellow – because it was just a guitar looping frantically on its own. i think the song does end like that, but i can't be sure now. in the end, i think the guy was okay enough to move, but i'm quite sure something broke. the other moment was when a guy flew towards me and hit me in my face. it wasn't painful, probably because i felt invincible then, but my glasses went flying to behind me. according to my friends, just as soon as my glasses flew, people instantaneously formed a closed circle of space around me, barring anybody from entering. i didn't notice the circle because my first thought was to get down immediately and start looking. haha. fortunately, some guy found it and handed it to me. it was in perfect shape except that the glass was slightly smudged. small problem as it was just a matter of wiping it clean, but for a moment, i thought it was the end of my glasses. the thought of losing something that costs more than four hundred dollars just like that really pulls a downer. i gave a thumbs-up to everybody around, and we went back to frenzy. magda actually came for the last few songs, and she got in for free! there were two encores, and the night came to an end. everybody thought it was a fantastic night. hoping said that since it was her first time at such a show, she was a little scared at the beginning to be at the pit, but after we shielded her for a while, she got a sense of what to do and she started enjoying it. we were also really impressed with the kinship in the crowd, as evident from both incidents. after the show, i think part of jean-marc and myself were still pumped as we were still bouncing around while moving around in the tube stations. as we were walking to change train lines, he wanted to mosh to a busker performing a pop number, but i drew the line and jokingly told him not to be an asshole. haha. everybody finally got a proper cool-down on the quiet train back to our town. except for hoping, all of us live in beaconsfield. hoping lives in the next town up. jean-marc jokingly said he shouldn't have enjoyed such music since he's a composer, but he did. haha. as he put it in the end, "i can't feel my legs.. i can't hear shit.. signs of a great night.." besides jussi, everybody else went for the gig despite not knowing the band, and i'm grateful for that. it just made the whole thing a lot more fun for sure. my ears are still ringing now. jussi had earplugs so his hearing is fine, but he is physically zero. when home, we didn't feel like cooking dinner, so we just put together some sandwiches and gulped them down quickly. up next – justice (still looking for tix) and meshuggah. now, deep crash into bed. need to get some work done in school tomorrow. |

i write this to ask for prayers. one of my favourite electronic acts, justice, is going to play london soon. sadly, despite detective work in the past month, i still can't find tix that i can sensibly afford – since i'm saving up for august. :( on a bright note, i let jean-marc listen to justice recently and it is his favourite thing now, so i'll have at least one companion if i do find cheap tix. check out the track that banged my head in 2006. the next year came the beginning up-rise of justice, and then there was light. what the heck, go get †, because dance and stress are worth it! meanwhile, pray for me to find my tix. |
