Jazzed Up Over Again

Going to a Jazz concert brings back memories of the once upon a very short period where I used to frequent this place - Jazz@Southbridge. A quick google tells me that this place is still up and running. Contemplating perhaps I should visit it again one day. But got to wait for next pay day at least. Now indoors are smoke free, it'll be more enjoyable. The music there's quite decent. Not sure how it's like now, though.

Anyway, back to the free Jazz Concert I just went for at Singapore Conference Hall with Cat, Fay, Sheena, Celine and Hon Choo. The featured was a 5-piece band: Lead/Acoustic Guitarist - Isao Miyoshi (Jap), Double Bass/Bass Guitar - Shigeki Ippon (Jap), Drums - Hiroyuki Noritake (Jap), Piano/Keyboard - Tay Cher Siang (M'sian), and Sax - Koh Mr Saxman (Thai). They're named "Unit Asia". According to the programme, the band was formed especially for this project initiated by the 3 Japs, joined by the other 2. Except for one song, the rest of the repertoire were original composition by the various members.

Overall, it was entertaining. Strangely, I've mixed feeling after watching the concert which I would need some time to process. Hmmm...

Dol-awass-eo • Back I think that’s what it means la. Act cool only. 😂  This picture's got nothing to do with this post, but I happy just want to put it here la...#tb27032023 Context: Today my bff reminded me that a while back she asked me to revive my blog and start writing again. So here I am, sitting in McD thumbing my comeback essay (eee…this word still brings the shivers) which could even be my last since I seriously don’t know where I’m heading with this. But one thing I can say though, the tagline of my blog still stands. Bandaged to be able to leave my heart. Not trying to be emo but it’s the truth. One type of bandage recommended by my bff is called “Manage Myself”. This includes not expecting to change others but managing my own expectation of how others can/should change. I haven’t read my previous posts since I last wrote (Dec 2016) but I vaguely remember one such emo post where I mentioned about less expectation = less pain. I can’t recall what caused me to write somet...

Friendship Inc.

Quite a lot has been running through my head for the past few days, in particularly, the issue of friendship - what it meant to me in the past and what it means to me now. People around me have asked me, "Cynthia, do you have a best friend?" or simply, "Who are you close(r) to?" I don't know what the kind of answers they are expecting out of me and why they would want to know, but everytime such a question is asked, I can't immediately give an answer. It probably sounds kind of strange. I mean, if it's my close or best friend, wouldn't the answer be really straightforward and requires little thought to it? But yet I find that I'm unable to respond. All around me, I find that people are often seeking to be someone's special someone. It doesn't necessarily mean boyfriend-girlfriend kind of relationship. I mean isn't it nice to know that you have a special place in someone's heart, especially if that someone is one whom you find that...
