in the short span of 2 weeks, i've laughed like i've never laughed before, smiled at least a thousand times, had so much fun that i couldn't remember what i was worrying about.
everything just flew out the window..

hmm met simon and gerald at vivo for jap dinner. ikea with hongs and adelyn. jason's place with EVERYONE!
saw them play a game called "big fish small fish" in the swimming pool! lol it was hilarious! john kept saying that he couldn't see their actions properly because they kept gesturing with their hands partially-submerged in the water! Headed to Taboo after that. I've not gone there for a very long time. and too bad we didn't see the Queen of all Queens, Addie Low. The music was good, company was EVEN BETTER! had the usual Maxwell supper/breakfast after that.
met them again the next day for dinner and drinks at vivo. drove us down to The Villa Bali to chill and talk. the ambience of that place was AMAZING. very relaxing.

so that was one eventful weekend spent. OH and i headed down to NUS to watch the guys in some squash action! saw Tong Gerald Fabien and even PAUL HO and SEAN ANG!
wad a pleasant surprise :) Paul is still very youthful-looking.

attended Air Supply's concert last night with Sean at Expo. it was exhilarating!
everyone was on their feet, dancing and swaying along to their hits. Sean & I were no exception!
It was during Goodbye that the crowd went wild, and we were singing our hearts out with them.
but we seriously went crazy during the last song, Making Love Out Of Nothing At All... sang every lyric, even the repetitive ones.... We didn't care whether we were on-key or not, we just sang! It was awfully romantic, saw many couples there having the time of their life!
I felt great, because I had excellent company, who fortunately enjoys the same kind of music as I do, and will ALWAYS be the person I fall back on. No words can describe the feeling I had during the concert. Oh, and for the encore, they played All Out Of Love! a really extended version, almost 8 mins long..
ended the concert on such a high note that everyone couldn't stop chattering about it.

so off i went to Club St to meet the usual gang at Indochine. Nice ambience too, although it was a bit strange that it wasn't crowded on a Sat night.. We could barely pronounce the dishes on the menu cos they were all in Vietnamese or something. Talked a bit, everyone got jacked a bit, laughed a LOT, and made me forget an incident which I was brooding over..
and i realised, all of us couldn't sing chinese songs for nuts! Joe Jason Adelyn & I sang Tong Hua, and it was......erm..nvm. The funniest would be when Joe had his actions to go along for the various songs and he would just shake and sway! night was full of laughs, haven't had such fun in a very long time..

half a year has gone by, and the Air Supply gig caps off my 4th concert this yr.
Jeff Chang, KT Tunstall, Elton John, Air Supply.
one thing in common for the veterans, they KNEW HOW TO WORK THE CROWD MAN!
I think KT was banging on the well-i-can-play-an-instrument-and-sing factor. hers was good, but not spectacular like the rest!

I've ALWAYS been a HUGE fan of Jeff Chang, so I sang along to 9/10 of his songs. Still has a great voice for his age! Elton John was excellent too, none of those crazy get-ups or crazy antics, just sat at the piano, danced a bit, played and sang his heart out. Amazing for someone who's in his 60s! Daniel, Sacrifice, Bennie & the Jets, Saturday Night's Alright, Candle In The Wind, Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.. the list goes on and on.. his solo pieces on the piano were breathtaking. his short and stubby fingers were deft, in all seriousness.
Air Supply was great, they came down, walked to the crowd and sang while playing the guitar, had the right lighting for the different songs.. and the placing of Making Love Out Of Nothing At All as the last song got a PHENOMENAL response from the already-enthusiastic crowd. Sean was video-ing most of the songs on his hp, i recorded some too. All Out Of Love as an encore was UNBELIEVABLE too, it gave me a feeling that this would be their last concert in Singapore, since they're already quite old, but still have that kind of youthful energy and stage presence which is not evident in some of the younger performers.


I'm not really bothered with Euro 08 though, i dont know why..
i guess maybe the fact that Man Utd ended the season with a Premiership & a Champions League Double was enough to leave my soccer mood on an extremely high note.
didn't want anything to dampen my spirits.. and looking at the way things are going, it seems like people left, right & centre are cheering me up. oh, and Xuan's back! one more thing to look forward to!

my bf wrote a list about stuff I needed to bring for my holiday, i really didn't even let the holiday-mood affect me at all. it's a great escape, but the problem is, it's an escape with people i'm not awfully close to. It's my bf's comfort zone, because it's definitely not mine. his friends are my friends, by proxy. i tried getting my friends to go along though, but they said they didn't want to feel awkward since they didn't know most of the people who were going.

Tong was asking me about my trip, so i told him about the outcome of the supposed holiday which i wanted. And he said something which struck me really hard..
"Lena, knowing you, you would probably just say 'oh ok, then nvm lor' "
THAT, is so true. And apparently, what girls think are important to them, may not always be as important to guys.

cause everything i own, well its nothing til i give it to you

making love..out of nothing at all.
