Bandaged Soul...so I can open my heart to you again.

While I wait to go for lunch... Well, so I went to the St Pat's Alumni Band Concert at VCH last night. At least 14 of our band members were there to support. We cancelled band practice today cos from what we know, a big bulk of the members would not be present - either supporting in attendance or playing for the concert. Is that supportive or is that supportive? Haha... And apparently, name-calling during band concerts extends beyond secondary school students. Sigh... The one for Rauf was super funny...inside joke. Looking at the players' list from the programme, I realised that at least 10% of the alumni band members are current TP students. Of course not all of them are in TP Band lah, but that's besides the point. A couple of them were from Music Vox. Anyway it was good to see them all. Louis was surprised to see me. He's forever reminding me that I rejected him at JPSAE. Tsk... I really give it to the committee who is managing the alumni band (any alumni band for th

I looked at the clock in my car when I drove into the carpark. 6.50pm. But I was prepared for the light-less void deck, but it wasn't as dark as my previous encounter. Would have got home earlier. But I had dinner with the band kids just now. Well, that kinda forced me to log off and drive to DES carpark. Ready to head off after dinner. Oh I went to catch the movie - The Days - at Sinema Old School. I booked the ticket for yesterday's re-run at 8.30pm and was glad that it was with the 'Talk-Back' session. Ivan was there with most of the actors, including the Director, Boi Kwang, whose life story is portrayed in this movie. Ivan was apparently surprised to see me there. Told him I had wanted to support him when it was first screened at the cinemas. When he introduced me to the Director, he thought I was Ivan's classmate!!??? I was like...??? Anyway, after the 'Talk-Back', I was delighted when I was given the super big poster and since the cast was there, I as

I'm still not used to getting out of school on the dot. Just to illustrate my point. One evening I got to my flat and I observe that the void deck was in darkness. I was thinking, what happened to the evening lights? I thought there was a blackout or something. Was contemplating if I should call the town council when I met a neighbour from my block. So I just commented..."Wah, very dark hor? Blackout ar?" Only to realised that, it's not even 7pm, so the lights not supposed to be up for another 5 mins! Zzz... Yesterday evening, I felt at a loss of what to do because I could get off on time and there was no cell meeting I drove out to TM around 6.30pm (Fridays supposed to go off at 5.30pm) cos I wanted to watch "Bolt". And what did I end up doing? Had a movie marathon. I bought tickets for "Twilight" and "Bolt". Had a voucher so one movie's free. The other's prepaid so the show's only $7.50 even on a Friday night. Then when I go

12.28am. Didn't realise that it's so late now. Just got back not long ago from shopping with Fayanne. It was probably the 3rd time I could remember driving downtown. The last time was a trip with Kenneth to get his PSP - an advance birthday present. I'm glad that it's still serving him well now. Today's was at the next door building at Wheelock Place. Well, we didn't exactly shop there but just parked and walked opposite to Shaw House. She went for her MNG sale while I went Isetan to use up my $20 voucher. Nothing worth getting for the Band Christmas gift exchange. I ended up spending $70 above the voucher value at the supermarket downstairs. Ahaha... "So what did you buy at your downtown shopping?" "Erm...groceries..." Faint... We did walk back to Wheelock for dinner, though. Can I just say...the Sakae there tasted horrible. Probably not going to patronize this restaurant at any outlet anytime soon. I enjoyed the company though. Truth hurts

I saw this picture on Pst Mark Ritchie's blog that made me laugh. Thought I'd share it with you. Poor reindeers...wonder where they flew to...ahaha! So I was told that Parmesan Oregano and Italian bread at Subway only comes in foot-long. So I ended up having Hearty Italian bread for supper on Monday. KBoxing and Waraku dinner is so expensive...so much for wanting to spend less that day. Oh, absence does make the heart grow fonder. I suppose that's true for people who have a special place in our heart. You start remembering all the good things and the unpleasant ones begin not to matter anymore. Ok, this is not exactly related, but I wonder if that's how it is in Jesus' parable of the prodigal son. How much the Father must have missed his wayward son and yearned for his return despite him squandering all his inheritance away. As long as he's back, it's a cause for celebration. Then we can only hope that those we love and miss do not regard us in the "ou

Just got home about an hour ago from Marina Square? Yesterday I was at Esplanade. Guess what, tomorrow going Marina Square again. Haha... Went to watch a locally produced movie - 18 Grams of Love - at Sinema Old School yesterday evening. No, no, no...should be 'night'. Cuz the show started at 8.45pm. This is my 2nd trip up to Mount Sophia. The 1st time was in April when I also went on my own to watch another local production - Smell of Rain. That one was so-so only, despite the soul-stirring tagline - "No reliance (dependence), no expectation. No expectation, no grief." Well, that was then... To my surprise, I actually enjoyed watching '18 Grams'. I didn't know that that session included a talk-back (a.k.a. Q & A) session with the Director, Producer and a staff from the Sinema. And for that I had to pay $10 when the actual movie ticket was $8. I didn't intend to go for that, apparently. But it didn't turn out so bad, thanks to a few of the au
