Random Shit

The week just passed saw alot happening.

Loads of alcohol as usual. Was doing a daily at one point.

Friday was spent at a midnight film with Candice and her entourage. We caught Flight Plan which was not too bad I guess. Although unfortunately, the legal eagle in me spotted a ton of loopholes in the story. Went to Balaclava after the film for drinks with the girls. Well, not before getting lost in the giant-of-a-carpark with Candice who thought she was being smart when she decided to stray away from the rest of the obviously smarter gang.

Got to Balaclava late as a result and therefore had to force myself to down 3 bottles of Buds in 20 mins.

*********************************************************************************

Beyond's concert on Saturday night was a major letdown. We got there late at around 8.20pm but were just in time for the band to take the stage.

I got mad-pissed at the idiots who stood on their seats but hell, what was I gonna do? Ain't gonna elaborate on the concert coz it's not worth the trouble. But.

1) I paid $300 for 'em stupid tickets only to end up at the last row of the premier section.
2) Those around me must've got their tickets free coz they sat through the whole performance so I stuck out like a sore thumb when I stood up.
3) The couple next to me made out while the band played.
4) I tried to snap some pictures only to capture the fans' greasy heads and ugly hands.
5) The band, on a whole, was rather insincere. It was a 'get it over and done with' attitude.
6) The band warned that they would play only the scheduled set of songs so 'please don't ask for encore'
7) The band meant it and left the audience screaming for more (why some people cannot grasp 'please don't ask for encore', I can never understand) as the stagehands started dismantling the stage.
8) The night heard a set of songs I wouldn't have picked. The good songs were stupidly left out.
9) The band hardly sang (15 songs max) and when they did, it was out of pitch, out of tune and out of whatever it can be out of.
10) When they didn't sing, they showed a projection clip of past concerts, interviews, album covers, news clippings and what-have-yous. Did I mention that noone could read the words on it coz the words came on for a mere 3 seconds before they flashed away?

I adore Beyond and admire their talent but what transpired on Saturday night must definitely be the weakest and lamest effort to end their 22-year-old career. They didn't go out with a bang. They went out with a soft thud.

That must be one of the nastiest ways to spend $300.

So, I just had to go for a drink after the concert.

Met A at ICB and then met another A

I can't be specific coz it's supposed to be a secret. And it's also supposed to be a secret that A wanted to make out with me (he didn't get to, of course, coz I was not stupid enough).

Woops. Hope I didn't get anyone into trouble.

Tyrone was sweet enough to come meet me near closing. We proceeded to Moh Sultan where I didn't exactly have a good time coz he brought me to this pub having a foam party and I felt left out, being the only one not in a sexy two-piece. Maybe for the good of mankind really.....haha.

Tyrone sure had a way with words but dang, my non-stupidity spoilt it again.

So I left to meet Aaron who was spinning nearby.

We had a brief chat before I took a cab home for the night.

Woke up with a nasty hangover but plenty of good cuddling time with my li'l pup.
