Finally bought the super slim mac keyboard, makes blogging such a pleasure to type. I still await the technology for speech recognition data entry.
So It's one of those weekends where everything happens at a bottleneck timing and you just cannot spread your love far enough. It's Carrie's birthday at Zouk and she (aka Mom) is joining me in being 30, the new 20s in todays context of stressful survival in such an urban jungle. Well now the sole purpose of turning 30 in trendy-today is to get sloshed by (not with) the persistence of your best friends alcohol feeding right? This clever girl brought her a bladder bodyguard (boyfriend) who was half-timing every feeding attempt we cheered to. Dammit, should've gone with the idea to have her arrive wearing a pink sandwich board advertising a big candy-fat "30".
Bumped into Elspeth & Genevieve at Winebar too, in her feeble attempt at hello, Gen punched my over a decade old BCG spot like it was supposed to hurt.. well. Adding to already a lot of good feedback, they recommended trying out the foodies at Greenwood Ave tonight and I recommended they give me a lift there coz im not gonna take bus no.11 all the way there man. I was never a far out bukit timah kid. hmm. but with all these recommendations I could very well be converted. I'll just be the fickle aethiest in the land where food reigns over religion.
Anyway, It is also the night that Ling goes on stage at Dubliner's (the Irish pub) which is right next to my office but the timing was tight. Thinking back it's too bad I couldn't be there to let my ears be graced by her new sound, and her much missed original songs. She's the only one I know who has had her YouTube account yanked off and as my friend Adrian's theory goes, because someone hacked into her account and was parading YouTube as her stolen profile, and on the way got her famous too. How much of that is the truth? I dunno, but keep on keeping on girl! I wanna design your first Album.
What was interesting tonight was this little outfit organised party called
"Are You Single-porean?" which was going on at the wee bit dodgy Rowell road along little india. Culprits are
CandyKang, who made both
HsiaoYing and
Janet bartenders stressing out at the very crowded outcome thus constant long queue at the bar. This was one fantastic singles party I tell you. Among other DJs for the night, Rage played synth-pop from OMD!! a track which is bugging me now coz we couldn't find the vinyl cover, it could've been
'Souvenir', an appropriate tune to take home. Well-informed Cops gatecrashed too! the fella who reported us should join this Facebook group. Nevertheless, what was supposed to end at 1am (alcohol liscense) ended at 3am, excluding prata & mee goreng supper for the leftover singles! No no, no cops.
My first flyer design for
Lunar was as I later found out, supposed to be cheesily cheena... like I was supposed to design the flyer like an ang pow style. I really think that I should not have volunteered to do this job, haha! I could very well have focused my time and energies on something else that'd make someone else a happier client. C'est la vie, we don't always get what we want.
Well, the weekend has landed, and Im to go be a Katong Kid wannabe again. Whilst in my search for new accomodation, a generous DJ friend has opened his Siglap home to me and my pool table for a friendly 600 good one$, so at least I have a good place to fall back on. Fortunate, my stars are aligned for future endeavours & smelly cheese.
