12-13 Sep 05
Hmm now it’s back to this 流水账 cum Rojak mode.
First, just a short note on my weekend for archival purpose:.
10 Sep : Walked around Compass Point with W. Disappointed to find that the Aussie café ( was it Yaba Doo?) had folded. Dropped by at Hello! Shop to say a Hi! to JJ. Waited for her to knock off and we proceed to window shopping at Bugis Junction’s midnite sale.
*****************************
12 Sep 05Went to Muchuan after work. Haven’t been supporting the Monster for a month? Hahah , because my best friend YF, 难得 suggested going to Muchuan on Mon (she’s having her holiday break) , so die die also must accompany her.
Gexin also came at the last minute. In a way, it is good cos he will be footing the bill for YF. Haha. And YF can stay longer @ Muchuan with him sending her home.
Anyway, I bought my albums along for them to reminisce. Now have to back track to what happened last week.
Last Thur (8 Sep),I had dropped by YF’s neighbourhood to have a chat over
Tau-huey ( Beancurd). Uncles, Ah peks like to have chats over kopi while we gals are slightly ‘higher-class’, chatting over bowls of tau-huey. Hahaha. Ended up I had to take away the beancurds and have dinner at her house instead. If not for this change of plans, I would have the chance to see the photo albums she had compiled. Really touched upon seeing she still kept the pics we had taken so many years ago.
“你看！你看！我以前那么难看啰！头发短得像男孩子，眼镜还会reflect的！” She exclaimed while I was looking at the pics taken during our sec school days. (YF is actually my junior.)
“我也好不到哪里去啦！头发pong pong 的！” I replied.
Yeah, we both concluded that something had gone wrong during our Sec School and Poly/ JC days. Sooooo
“orbit”. Must be those thick plastic spec frames and the hair!.
Noticed the similarities between her childhood photos and mines. The furniture, right down to the cushion cover, were of the same style. And dunno why our parents like to make us pose with big soft toys
BESIDE us.
Back to what happened over dinner on Monday. Was joking to Gexin and Yanfen that I can blackmail them with their past year photos. YF even begged me to burn them. Hahaha.
Then we browse through my two albums together and pointed out that some of our friends had also been through “major facelifts” too. Some gals are slowing turning to be more and more feminine. Our conclusion:
It must be LOVE.
It was raining heavily when we make our way to Muchuan.
Dark skies.
Raindrops hitting on the covered- walkways.
Walked pass the Chinese restaurant @ Apollo.
Bride with her back facing us.
She turned around, we caught a glance.
We stifled our giggles.....
Until we reached a safe distance, I looked at Yanfen and said: I know what you are going to say…..
We were Muchuan’s first 3 and
only patrons for the 1st hour. Blame it on the bad weather.
Specially dedicate a song of YF （of cos it’s
细水长流, what could be a better song that that?）. Though she was the one who came with me during my 1st experience to Muchuan, I din have a chance to dedicate a song to her. Fortunately, the dedication was read before the other patrons came in.
The Monster sang quite a few songs from our dedication, or rather from YF’s dedication. Despite being her first time seeing Monsters’ performance, she seems to know what are the songs they often sang -- 断点，爱情不能做比较，遗失的美好. We even submitted a dedication slip, containing songs which comprise the words 黑，
白或
灰 来配合当晚的天气。
Gexin used to 混Muchuan before “蔡淳佳 Era” , and seems to think that the current performers will be singing the same batch of songs. Yanfen & I were like teasing him for “not being our 年代”when he asked us to write down some old songs’ titles on the dedication slip.
About four more tables were filled up since the Monsters cracked the joke about
“Armageddon” (after Ah Du performed “ I don’t wanna missed a thing”). JH had faked his Singlish accent by “attempting” to pronounce that word and blurted “ ah – ma ga den” instead. 吓跑了两位站在门外的女生，但招来了一对情侣。Haha.
There were two Joke-of-the-day.
The first one happened when Ah Du was singing 流泪手心. The remaining 3 Monsters seems to pak-up to leave him alone on stage as they choose to leave the stage together for toilet break soon after Ah Du began his song. Haha I had secretly recorded him singing the chorus and had sent the file to my Taiwanese friend. Even Yanfen felt that Ah Du’s performance was impressive.
The second joke was target at Ah Du too. Apparently, some customer was inspired by the Monsters teasing abt the size of Ah Du’s head that he/she submitted a dedication slip with a rhyme written on it. I remembered hearing it from some kids . Here it goes ( I hope I’m not wrong):
大头大头，下雨不愁。你有雨伞，我有大头。
Haaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa.
( I hope he din chance upon this post and read this :P)
ed for them
YF & GX left around 10pm, leaving me to face an awkward moment when the song 少年游I dedicated was sung. But XM & ML saved the situation by saying something touching ( but I was also feeling a bit paiseh). All I could react was to mutter a word of thanks.
Have a quick chat with XM & ML before I settled something with Ah Du. Seems like I have to make some adjustments due to the problems I am facing. Will talk abt it on my other blog another day.
13 Sep 2005, TueHad my “vocal practice” yesterday. Fours hrs of KTV with a friend at our neighbourhood Party World KTV .
Kaoz, she seems to have “post- Superstar syndrome”, trying out songs like 我恨我爱你，美丽笨女人。
She had tried 被爱的女人 on her own last week, and claimed that she cannot make it , so left me to 飚 that song. Hmm think I managed to reach the high notes but I lost reference after the high notes, especially when I have to sing that verse “我不要爱一再一再彩排” which was after the “killer” ----- “不要不要分开”.
Hmm think I did apply the correct vocal positioning as after 4 hrs, my throat wasn’t sore at all, despite us focusing on “pia-ing” those songs like 剪爱，真实，爱回温，伤逝，接受, 我们的爱..
For the first time, I tried 断点，痴心绝对 with “up keys”. Previously, I din know to press which buttons of the remote control to change the keys. Keke.
If that is not crazy enough, we choose May Day’s 温柔， but sang the “还你自由版’ instead. Yah, we were screaming “ 我给你自由，我给你自由……我给你全部全部全部自由……..” after the 1st chorus.
Shiok!
