Whirl-wind Weekend & Frenzied Week

Friday evening was spent at TWC project meeting. Then, there was dramatic incident which involved the IS Queen, The Elvin & Mark. Haha. Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, Nor hell a fury like an IS Queen's (or a woman) scorned. After dinner at PS, we watched GAYA 2007. I thought it was a nice performance which served its purpose well to entertain, as well as introducing us to a little Indonesian culture at the same time. The acting was sufficient, but the singing was commendable. I swear all Indonesians can sing. Haha.

Saturday morning was quite dreaded. We had an Econs Midterm. We had a shock when we flipped open our examination booklet. Haha. Okay, enough about that. I had Felix for company before I left school for pre-concert dinner at Rafflescity. I found out some shocking information from Mad. Scary thought, but Im hoping its not true. Then, we adjourned to EXPO, for the long awaited FALL OUT BOY gig.

I got a rude shock because there were so many YOUNG GIRLS. Maybe we went to the wrong concert. Is it Backstreet Boys instead??? Haha. The demographics were probably something like 60% girls; 70% of them were younger than me; 70% angmohs, 10% mats, 5% ah bengs & ah lians wannabes, 1% parents. Haha. It was really weird. And the crowd was pretty rough too.

Firstly, they started on time, with 2 opening bands. Im not too sure about the first act, but the second was home-grown Saw Loose (the updated version of Pug Jelly). Despite the fact that they were pretty good, the crowd was extremely impatient and they got restless after 3 numbers. I think Saw Loose knew that the crowd was getting unhappy from the incessant F*** YOU chants & the patchy sea of third fingers. A pity, because i thought they deserved a better response from the crowd, rather than hostility.

Next, after Saw Loose (finally) left, we had to wait a ridiculous 30+minutes for FOB to set up their stuff. I swear its the most boring 30mins I've spent in 2007. The people behind got sick of standing & waiting, they sat down. It was so anti-climax. I cant help but be really disappointed with the organisation. Grrr. I mean the lack of.


BUT, FOB is totally FABULOUS/BRILLIANT live.
It was greattttttt.
Nothing less.

The atmosphere.
The crowd.
The music.
The band.
The energy.

Anyway, this was the bus i took to get home.
See whats different on this bus?
Look closely!
This one has CNY DECORATIONS!
How adorable is that? Haha.

So, that was my Saturday. I spent Sunday in school, doing AS essay. Gosh. How sad is that? At least, i had good company all the way until 6+pm. Then, I met my salsa girls for dinner. I totally forgot how much i enjoy social salsa. I havnt done it in so long... Well, there was the Street Cha Cha workshop, which was really encouraging, as I've finally gotten the hang of the basic step. It starts on 2. Thats why the initial confusion with Salsa Steps. Poor muscle memory is a challenge for me, and i have the same problem in Pole dance. Oh wells, I'll probably try that after I've caught up with my salsa. Cause i love the cha-cha music too.

We are self-proclaimed camera sluts!
Myself, Widah, Tracy & Rachel.
I lurvvveee you girls by the way.

More camera whoring.
Laffy Taffy(Latifah) and Widah's friend (from right).
By the way, the theme was MAFIA night.

My weekend ended on a high note, then it was back to school on Monday. How is anyone able to avoid the monday blues??? Plus, it didnt help that I was so busy on Monday, I had to skip Poledance lesson. Sigh. AS essay & AS presentation were total bitches. At least, i'm done with them by now. Good riddance.
