Coooooooooooooooookies.....

coookiesssssss...........

well, just came home from dinner with my dad... went to chomp chomp, 2nd time this week too...

had a great time yesterday with the nafa ppl... first we went to jurong for ice-skating.. havent skated for years, cause the last time i did was when i was pri 4? i remembered i crashed into those people doing figure-skating in the middle of the rink... and they were quite pissed with me.. haha.. what to do? i dunno how to skate...

well, yesterday, qinglun, wei kang, huiqi, yong rui, andy, sebastian, christoven and i went to ice-skate, and it was hilarious... especially wei kang... he was paranoid at every movement we made at him, cause he was too scared to fall down.. and i tried to make him fall.. haha... evil... well, u will never get used to it until u fall the first time... =p
and no, I DID NOT FALL YESTERDAY.... THAT WAS NOT COUNTED!! i landed on my hands... so that leaves me and christoven 'clean'.. we're the only 2 who didnt fall... hahahahaa... wheeee....
and besides, i almost fell coz of some little girl who was blocking the way, couldnt turn in time so i tried to stop, which all of us couldnt figure how... i ended up spinning hysterically, trying to control my legs and swinging my arms around, until i landed on my hands on the ground... *phew*
they saw it, and were laughing all the way... =.=

after that, wei kang, christoven, huiqi and i went to eat at the sakura buffet... we ate too much.. and for the first time, i actually ate the raw oysters without spitting them out... starting to get used to it? we took too much food, and its probably the most food which i've wasted in all my life... wont do it again... but the food was alright, considering its $28 per person and christoven was kind enough to lend me money first... looks like i owe lots of ppl money...

we went over to carlton hotel (not ritz carlton) near chijmes, and sat down there to drink beer and eat kacang puteh.... wei kang relaly couldnt drink any beer, so christoven drank his... and me? i personally dont really like beer, but i drank 4/5 of my share, but the lady kept pouring more into my glass, til it seems as though i onli drank half of it.... the singers there were, er, well, they could sing better... but it was ok... then there was this american guy who drank too much, and went up on stage and started dancing with the singers... you could see that they were trying to avoid him from kissing them, but they still kept a smile.. then he was dancing around the bar, shaking his butt and clapping and singing along.. hahaha... it was really funny, but we felt embaressed for him... after a while, this indian guy came up and told the guy off quietly, cause it wasnt really an appropriate public behaviour...

so we went home after that, which was about 11.50pm...

today, woke up at 2pm.. haha... oh wells... and surprisingly, until now, i havent shat out the things i ate yesterday at the buffet... amazing... it was the most bloated dinner i ever had in my life... went to acjc's strings concert at 5 at vch... went with sarah cause eva couldnt make it, so its down to the both of us... and she brought like a whole plastic bag of COOKIES from subway, and its like an early birthday present for me? haha... i'm fine with it... thanks! it should cost a bomb anyway...
andris was playing solo and she was in the first program... she was playing vivaldi's cello concerto in A minor... it was goooooood.... although there were some very slight intonation problems, but the idea and technical abilities were there... the only main problem was probably the phrasing and direction of the music... it didnt really bring the music anywhere, and it was kinda monotonous in some sense... maybe its because i was sitting at the back? probably... but her sound was, amazing? it was clearcut and straight to the point... her crossing of strings were very clear, although there were some accents on the lower notes, which are difficult to adjust even for professionals... in all, it was good... but you know what? i cant believe nobody gave her flowers after her performance!!! its a disgrace man... how can you not give the soloist any flowers or gifts on stage?? =.= and she had to change her concert attire in about 2 to 3 minutes so that she could make it as principal player in the next piece... really a rush...
the concert in general was alright, and yibin was playing albinoni's oboe concerto... he's probably the best youth oboeist i've heard so far, since i first heard him a few years back...
the main problem with the concert was their encore... it was, er, horrible... i mean, really, compared to the thimgs they played earlier, it was really in the pits... probably because they didnt rehearse much on it? encore pieces are not really meant to be rehearsed... lol... oh, and the conductor was kang ming, who was my brother's groomsman for his wedding, of which i was the bestman.. =p

well, i had more weird dreams again... and its really really really weird... and as far as i remember, they were scary, but exciting... it was about war, undercover jobs, and lots of shooting and jumping off buildings and parachutes.... tell you guys next time if i want to...
