Avril Rawks!

oooh lala!
man have i not blogged for a week?
yes indeed.
haha why am i talking to myself i feel stupid now but heck cuz cuz all of a sudden i dont feel depressed anymore. i mean what happened to those days that i wld tell myself not to waste any moment and enjoy life for its shortlived sweetness. bleah as missy higgins once sang, 'but time has changed- nothing at all'- to that effect this song was meant to be sad but im feeling immensely calm now, but always afraid that anymoment i might falter and be once again consumed in my doom and what have you. argh.
kk i shall be coherent now.

whee this past week was in short tiring. late nights galore, and not that ive been doing hmwk- just lazing around- you guessed it- on the computer. especially with the new lcd monitor everything seems much clearer now. strange, as if what i see through the screen is my life being played back time and time again. i for once i feel rejuvenated and new and rid of all my emotional bulk. hmm in time this monitor will have its own problems but heck, thats for tomorrow to think about.

wed night came and i was trying to plough through rolly's history readings on the terror (which is terrifying anyway), when my dad return with the zen micro!!!
whee its exactly how i imagined it to be. well maybe even better cuz its not a fragment of the imagination anymore but actually tangible and real and yes you guessed it red, hot and sexy! the colour is steaming man and if ipod cant give me that colour then heck id do anything for red! haha. so now its down to me figuring out how to use it. give me a few days ok? haha

anw been going for talks like the woman warrior one and the cold war one. the latter was obviously more impressive, what with someone like brian farrell coming in to speak with just a cup of coffee as payment- excellent analysis and convincing argument by him but i wonder how much of all those id be able to rmbr. went in there looking like a cheap ho cuz my jacket was like covering all of my pe uniform haha. it was jacket, flesh. while everyone else was in uniform but hey it was cold!!! my hairs were standing on my skin. the maxine talk was great too i guess but i didnt really gain much from it- cuz i havent even read the book maybe!?! seems intriguing though. cant wait!!!

haha anw thursday came and evening saw the long awaited PPP materializing! after playing some badminton with ramu, who lost his watch btw, cc and i joined mike and liyana in the canteen where we proceeded to liyana's abode (yet again) to prepare. well we caught the direct telecast of american idol. cant say im surprised that jessica got out but the more i think abt how it might turn out the more incensed i get. i really dont want scott or carrie to win. they dont deserve it. so yeah the highlight was the food cooked by the j2s clara timng hadri etc. came out as pasta and campbell soup and garlic bread not too bad for 5 bucks instead of the intially planned pizza treat. the other highlight for me and some others at least was badminton by the streets of liyana's house. its nice to say streets when its actually just one road but nvm sounds very rustic and cool and kampong like- what with all that old traditional fun. played with pek (who thinks she's good cuz she beat me once haha :p boo you ill take u on anytime and trash u flat) and then liyana and denise and yam came in. that doubles match was dreadful indeed haha but extremely funny how they all missed it. cc was exceptionally dramatic and humourously graceful but sacrificed his skill for all that show, i felt. but everyone under performed. poor lighting lah. when nasty came i enjoyed it much more cuz she really whacked it superbly. must play a proper one with her one day. on the whole we had fun i guess. all of us. ended up fetching tim, tim, cc and denise on their way home. whee! a long but tiring night.

the next day i skipped fencing again, meaning i didnt go for one week. but nvm i had stuff. like the talk and all. yii wen was telling me abt novices event but sigh cant be bothered haha. esp with stuff like all the art club activities i signed up for coming up. daisy, fashion, carnival, illustrator etc. after the sculpture thingy i reealized if i wanna have a fulfilling art life for once im gonna hafta committ. if not i'll just slack off and be that uninspired bitch all over again. haha did i just call myself bitch? nahh nvm. im not.

anyhow! saturday came and i didnt have the mood to do much homework. after watching 2fast2furious on HBO it was more or less time for getting ready. haha met up with glen and jonk and alan and we ate at the foodcourt after procrastinating for some time. jonk suggested swensens how scandalous! i wasnt in a spending mood anw and the rest of us werent hungry too so we settled for the food court. haha. and poor jonk kept insisting that it was crowded. when we went there finding a seat was easy. we soon realized why jonk was so against the foodcourt. as alan glen and i shared purr-piah (uncanny since they were showing spore universe that night too haha- in memory of callie swee yong) and carrot cake, jonk ate one meal after another. rice, hot bowl with taofu and chicken, meat bone kebabs, crab cake...i told him he was a compulsive eater as we walked past a basket of apples on the way to get a drink. he wasnt too pleased, but he didnt have much of a defense either haha. we settled to share diet snapple between the four of us. the sharing mood heightened as we shared a cab later to kallang. anyhow my narrative maybe nothing short of uninspiring but along the way we certainly had a lot of laughs abt a lot of stuff. it was great.

we were there like 645pm? and it wasnt long before the queue of the premier entrance moved. soon we were in and rushed into the freestanding arena- by then lotsa pple were already squeezed up front. no fair! we were quite front too but were irritated that some tall freaks went infront of us anw. haha so the rest of the time we started chatting while just standing there among the other avril freaks, while the speakers hummed out familiar pop tunes.

then it all happened too fast. pug jelly, and at long last, the queen of the night arrived on stage!!! whee! the crowd was fanatic at that moment glen and i, in a bid to get a better view, managed to squeeze into a cavity to our left, separating from alan and jonK. but heck once avril came we had so much fun!!!

it was exciting when every song she belt out we knew. cld sing along and sway along to. the starter song He Wasnt was and excellent piece to get the audience moving and from then on the atmosphere was lively and never once died down. it was just infectious and being an avril fan u just felt that u belonged there, that u wldnt have wanted to be anywhere else!

was glad that she sang her old songs too, amongst her under my skin songs. it was pretty darn cool. was so worried she wld be her rudeself, as shes been lately, but that night she was jumping and energetic and from what we saw she was having a fun time. well i guess thats the only way ure gonna get the audience to have a fun time themselves.

for me her best performances were:

losing grip- it was fate that i caught the making of this video the previous night and saw it for the first time. the live scene with the red star backdrop was picture perfect and an almost exact replica of the video. i felt like i was in her video how cool was that?! for the surrealistic experience i thought this was one of her defining moments in the concert.

sk8er boi- boi when this song came on the whole crowd just roared with familiarity- as if to say 'hell yeah we love this song" i think everyone jumped at least once during this song. even those stoners. haha. for me i was literally vibrating the whole time.

freak out/who knows- two of my favs frm under my skin actually being performed on stage? cool! and it was so apt cuz everyone was literally- freaking out and living like it was their last day!

tomorrow/mobile- her more draggy songs made a dramatic impact cuz it suited the flow of our mood. gave us time to slow down, and actually appreciate her for her music. i love tomorrow, brings back so many memories. mobile too. everything's changing!!!

complicated- ahhh my happy ending. i knew she wld end it off with complicated for old time's sake and true enough she did. with her red horns and all looking all so cute. haha avril will probably kill me cuz i called her cute but heck she just looked- horny?? haha. honestly u promised me im never gonna find u fake it...nonono!

haha and i tell u all her songs were great lah. didnt miss a bit. wldve liked to see her perform my world. but she proved her talent. she sounded great, she reached all the higher registers and screamed when she needed too and played the guitar instead of smashing it (tho that wldve been fun), played the piano, AND the drums!!! haha that was cool! taking the backseat and letting her band member sing. avril u rawked and everyone loved u!!! the only pity was that u cldnt sing more for us! haha. alrighte.

well after that with our ears ringing and throats rasping and legs wobbling, we sat down at the long flight of steps, drinking and waiting for alan's and glen's dad. really tempted to buy avril's merchandise but no money. hmm alan's dad came first so the both of us hopped on and made our daily journey to the west, except now later, and fresh from excitement and euphoria. managed to leave glen and jonk with the 6333 1411 entertainment hahaha. when alan heard it in the car he was laughing crazy too how slutty haha. i actually think it encourages sex but anyway. so much for double standards. yes stand up against aids everyone!

on that saturday night i missed ms spore universe and subsequently discovered that crystal flopped and rebecca didnt win! gasp! haha but anw not much of a loss there. i also missed ashlee and quite upset that the rerun is only on tuesday afternoon- meaning i might miss it again!
on that fateful saturday night i prayed for the Pope, even though im not much of a Catholic.
and on that saturday night, i went to sleep with Avril in my dreams...

hmm went to buy uniform today but my shirt ran outta size. gonna try it on tuesday when bibi&baba come to school. and i shall get my rj pe kit at long last. feels good to have that change. ive been too ri-ish for too long. it has come the time when wearing the ri uniform in rj doesnt make u blend in anymore. instead, u stick out like a little boy in turbulent waters. and yes i dont know what im saying now.

so thats me for avril and im out now. finishing hmwk and hopefully enjoying life to its fullest frm now on. whee!

forgot to bring my camera but got this from someone's blog, hopefully that person doesnt mind! come on avril fans unite!
