PECKPOST
Hello. My life has been significantly more colourful in the past few days. On sunday I went out with zhenghong for dinner and to catch a free concert at the esplanade. EIC and timmy were doing acoustic sets. Yeah its nice to catch up with good friends, talk shit (oh yeah we talk A LOT of shit) and just relax. What can I say about the concerts? I enjoyed the timmy set more, amid the fact that EIC was supposed to be the main attraction. This most definitely stemmed from the fact that the timmy duo was doing some wonderful covers while EIC was hawking their latest album, and took a risk by doing an entire set of originals.
Yeah basically more than half of the EIC songs just weren't up to scratch. Some of the lyrics were childish, some of the tunes weren't polished or easy on the ears. I know a lot of people will say that the best songs don't necessarily sound radio-friendly and can still touch the heart but EIC has a reputation for being radio-friendly and so I held them up to those same standards. Unfortunately none of their songs touched my heart either. Timmy on the other hand did covers of some lovely songs. They did a worthy cover of Where Are You Going by the Dave Matthews Band and did an amazing rendition of Come Pick Me Up by Ryan Adams. I listened to the original and boy their acoustic version blows it away big time.
So yeah it was quite enjoyable. I got back in time for the second half between Man U and Liverpool. A tense but boring affair (football wise). Arsenal Chelsea was quite interesting but I thought it was a pity that it had to come down to Cech's error.
Anyway I went out again today with zhenghong shaggy and liben. We went to leisure mall in kallang and played arcade, ate dinner and bowled. Cost a bomb but it was fun. At the arcade we played the retarded spot-the-difference photo game and we finished the entire game with 50 cents. Well 4 pairs of eyes is kinda cheating but hey who cares. Bowling is always an experience that oscillates with your performance. When you do well you feel happy, otherwise you feel crappy. I got better towards the end so it was kinda fun. Poor liben though deteriorated through the games.
Well I have watched About Schmidt, Knocked Up and Superbad in the past few days. I didn't like About Schmidt. The plot pacing doesn't sustain the story well enough. Knocked Up was brilliant. I can't say this is a laugh-out-loud kind of comedy but the humour is bloody amusing and relentless. Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen act very well, plus the plot is unique and really absorbing too. It's vulgar and has some nudity but if Superbad was 10 on a vulgarity scale Knocked Up would be like 3? I didn't enjoy Superbad nearly as much as I did Knocked Up but I think it was due to Judd Apatow raunchy humour overload over 2 days. It was still very good but incredibly vulgar. There isn't a minute without the f-word but its hella funny.
Bah Im so hungry these days. Have been cutting down like crazy. I just want to go to NYDC, order a large plate baked rice and then have a slice of chocolate cake. DAMN.
K Ill post random pictures next time. I know ppl don't like too many words.
