me and my stories.

its quite early in the morning, or late at night if u wish. I’m sitting here, quietly in my sister’s room and just waiting for slumber to hit me.

my submission was last tuesday. Last night, actually. I’m proud  to know i made it through one module of school. It’s been a trying month. Hectic because of my incapability to juggle both. Its been difficult but i have tried my best to keep my head above the water.  And when i was down, i had the love of my life sit me down to tell me that everything would be okay. Here’s to more good in the coming months. Be it studies, work, play, family, relationship or health. God is fair, and He shall give me what He thinks i deserve.

A good friend went to the doctor’s today for help. Miss Lim, hope you get well soon. If you have to have needles stuck into your neck, or stand on a  scale and hold on to a brass cylinder, so be it. Let the electric current pass through you body and to your nerves. Wake them up again, so that we can  head down to arab street and do the things we used to. i miss our shisha moments. Been long long timeeeee.

another close friend of mine, or someone i deemed ‘long lost twin sister’ has reappeared in my life! Rina is back finally, lugging a huge ass suitcase behind her and holding an infant in her arms. Aydinnnnnnnnn! Can’t wait to see you and your mummy. Life won’t be back to where we left off, but it certainly would be more fun and beautiful. And omg, Rina can drive! Time to put the seatbelt on and make our way down to the obscure locations in singapore once again. Can’t wait!

( i just re-read my super emo entry. Think its PMS talking here.)

Oh, and how can i ever forget.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to some of the most gorgeous people in my social circle. First up, Adrian! You’re one year older now. Apologies for not turning up for your party. You know i love you always, even though we can drive each other crazy sometimes. Hope this year will be a good one for you!

And coming up, happy birthday to my loves, Razak, Keith and Raj. Razak obviously, the one and only person who has seen me through the shit and happy times. Two years working at TCD has taught me so many things, mostly about Life. And half of it was all from you.

Keith, the manager and friend. Keith i love you even though you spewed vulgarities to J5. I understand, it was the alcohol talking. Besides, you my boss. :)  The best i can do is tell you to shush. and smile afterwards.

Raj! Too bad i never get to work with you often. I can still remember your megawatt smile. And of course now, someone looking real good with broad shoulders and all. Hahaha, happy birthday!!!

and now i’d like to digress

I LOVE MY BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!

a friend of mine had given me a URL to the good vibes singapore concert which he wanted to share. Just a few clips for beastie boys and J5’s set which you can load over and over again to see what you missed. heh.

these clips made me smile a bit.

oh, and i realise that the muse conert in KL is this weekend. My trusty organiser stared at me right in the face. Well, actually just four letters. Muse. I’m not sure if the concert is still on, but hey, go on to youtube to catch the one held in singapore anyway.

a lil bit of heart pain when i watched that one.

its fridayyyyyyy! officially, the best day if you’re working a dull 9-5 office job. not for me though. Submission is next week! Gahhhhhh. Gotta get this done before the PMS kicks in and i realllly turn into the three headed monster.

heh. love you all,

sabby

came home at three am this morning after standing for 12 hours at fort canning. at least, it felt like 12 hours.

good vibes 2007

- it was greaaaat. i had a lot of fun. It all started by standing in the rain and then  listening to emo guitars by the local bands. Four of us, me, Fiq, Keidi and Keith. We were joined by Raz afterwards. He was, with his…posse? hahaaa. he was with his friends, who seem to know half the people in front of us, and also all the local bands. they’re walking friendsters seriously.

I also met a few of my old pals, gene, zhiling, people i haven’t seen for a while. farah etc etc.

back to the evening, it was obvious that everyone couldn’t wait till the beastie boys took over the stage.here’s a breakdown on how i felt about everything.

i am david sparkle performed when it was drizzling way bad. super emo guitars almost drive my bf mad but i liked it. I wish they ahd performed a bit later though. they need the smoke machine and red lights effect for all that emo thing going on. the band’s alright but guess they didn’t have much of a crowd. Pity.

bushmen are bushmen.

guerilla collective provided a distinct sound in between the sets. It was good but i had to miss half the set due to call of nature. I rushed to toilet and the queue was that long. when i returned, they only played for another 5 or 10 mins then they were gone. So i can’t comment.

wicked aura batucada did what they always did. they brought out the crowd. I couldn’t help but dance myself cos of their energy. I’ve always lovvved watching them, they never fail to bring about a great performance. I wished they had a longer performance though. And perhaps a timeslot later in the evening. I like this group.

electrico. You know i’ve never been a great fan of electrico. I kidna think they’re overhyped for a regular band but i must say they had a good performance yesterday. the crowd recognised their songs and i could see some younger ones mouth the words to the lyrics. And i found myself paying attention to the band for a short while. especially when they played the tainted love song. Cos i like the tainted love song. ahahaa. just never heard them sing it before. Must have been just me, cos i’m out of this whole music thing for a while.

Agrikulture was happening shitttttt. The lead is damn cool, i don’t know what happened to his hair but he’s got it right man. he’s damn funny and after 15 mins, i noticed how he kept grabbing his crotch. I pointed it out to keidi cos she’s got this thing for crotches, hahahaaaa. he’s damn feeeeeling it. You have to catch this guy perform again. their sound was good too.

cicada made a big big mistake. That lady wearing a pink glimmer getai top invited pple to dance on stage. Anyone who’s got that footage should put it on youtube and name it ‘ white people can’t dance’ or maybe ‘some white people can’t dance’. Even keith said it was utter embarassment. Justin said ‘ Boy, aren’t you glad you’re asian’ hahahahaaaaaa.

CutCopy wasn’t very much appreciated. I like their genre of music but after a while they didn’t give anyone else a good impression. I think cos Cicada made everyone impaitient and hungry and irritated so when they heard CutCopy they were like wtf… i still think they’re an alright band. they should have played for a shorter time and other tracks though. they got boring towards the end.

Jurassic 5 took forever to come out man. I was a bit pissed but i liked them so screw that.And they’re very good for theiur show. Synchronised and clean rap. And i liekd that Chali2na guy…….his voice is soooooo dope. Fiq said its too clean for his liking, but i think its damn refreshing to hear ol skool stuff thats not about pimps and drugs. Keith said they were mumbling mumbo jumbo. I told him to shut up. Jurassic 5 was good. And that’s that. I’m sure keidi agrees with me on this one.

beastie boys were ddddddddddddddopppppppppe!!!!!! I think if anyone buys the 80 bucks tix just for this act they would have found it damn worth it. They had energy and they’re like damn ooooold now la. the crowd went crazy for almost every single tune they played ( except the slow one cos it would be relak jack time before the pple started jumping again) and everyone i knew was screaming, jumping,singing, screaming again.They mixed all their songs with recent rnb and reggae hits and the crowd went wild for a while. I almost got giddy cos it was dammmn stuffy. keidi was already trying to catch their breath. think only kieth was alright cos he was waaaayyy taller than anyone else. but anyway, the beasties played all their great hits, sabotage in particular was dedicated to the president of united states, and that song just drove raz and fiq crazy. They were just awesome, everything about them was awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

okay i got to get tow work now cos razak wants kfc.

more later, sabby.

listened to thom yorke all morning.

i’m glad i start work a bit later today. Waking up at 10 feels pretty good. I had bad bad dream last night though. Will spare you details.

Vday was alright. Was at work pretty much all day till 6. Then we had chicken rice, went  to his place to say hi to his parents, went to ikea, went back to my place to say hi to my parents and then he went home. I got a new study table from ikea,nice red cushions, eight latte cups and a whole bag of tealights. The last two are for work, obviously.

I also got a new computer! That one, FOC, thanks to my baby and it helps that he’s around to carry all those items up to my house. HAH!!

can’t wait for good vibes party man. I can’t wait to boogie with my colleagues on sunday night. I can’t wait to chill out and go crazy over a couple of drinks with the pple i so truly love.

and Tina is leaving for HK tomorrow. Jeez. She ask me what i wanted. I should have said, EVERYTHING. hahaha, if only babe. I hope she has fun. She’s been stressing too much man.

and darling Keidi. I hope you get well soon. Miss you many many many.

i haven’t been updating in a while, i know. It’s been a crazy start of the month. Busy with work and study, trying to balance both without making my boyfriend crazy.

i met my boyfriend twice this week! I’m happy as hell, because i’m tired of waiting one whole week to spend two hours with him.

Work has been alright. I’m looking forward to this coming week’s break. TCD will be closed for two whole days and we’re going to relax and chill. Monday will be Good Vibes at Fort Canning. Can’t wait to hang out with my mates, and the peeps from work too.

Study has been alright. Me and the girls have been going to school early in the day to practise and grasp all 49 exercises. Did my mock exam earlier today. It was good but it pretty hellish all the same. Seems like my brain has been sleeping for a lil bit too long. But tomorrow will be a good day, for sure.

righto, gotta do work. till next time,

sabby

you know how you can never find a seat at that basement food area? The people there are like vultures, hunting down for seats. Here’s what i saw with my own eyes earlier this evening.

man : (gesturing to empty seat) hello miss, mind moving your bag? got no other seat.

lady: ah? but i need to put my bag.

man : but your bag not eating what!!!

i laughed. some people just have shit for brains. i wish i was the smart aleck to say that one. Man, the look on her face was priceless.

-sabby-

it was such a long day today. worked for the whole day, spent 2 hours in town, ran around, got mummy her pots and pans, and reached home at 11.45 pm.

i feel a bit bad about the honeybuns. We barely talked today, He had a super long day and a pretty bad workout.  So he’s grumpy, and i’m grouchy to begin with. It’s PMS.

a note to dear wonderful friend of mine…

you’ll be better again.
