accomplished a number of non-school things this weekend... am a happy girl... but feeling utterly guilty coz i didnt touch work AT ALL... save for an attempt at op-amps while waiting for the guy at Starbucks... over a terribly good Mocha frap... soooooOOoo chocolatey! went to the dentist... rid the terrible coffee stains on my teeth... coffee is bad for you! traded in my terrible E700A... for a miserable 100 bucks... paid my ass off for a new E530C... and a student's plan... so that i'll get free incoming to irritate the guy with when i'm bored in PGP... now i have two freaking lines... and another clam phone from my bro... so thats two freaking clam phones... a wonderfully sinful but enjoyable dinner at swensens with the family... new outlet at compass point... fish and chips... baked rice(s)... pasta... fries... sundaes... and of coz... the amazing apple crumble... *drools* it was great coz we were all just reaching into each others' plates... and sundaes... been ages since i last ate out with them like that... actually not really... maybe just a couple weeks back... minus the dinners at home... (i'm a very family person...) and i love my family lots... caught some good wind with a number of people from NUS... not bad really... we had like almost 15 people out... one dutch... one swedish... lots of singaporeans... wahaha... 'twas good... had fun... both at sea and on land... and the girls saved me my favourite toilet to bathe in... (maybe coz the shower curtain had one huge tear...) caught Stomp! with the guy... really good seats... like at the circle... but in the third row... and the row in front of us were empty... coz they were $110 seats... the only ones left unsold... and we only paid 50 for them... the perks of being a student... man... me saying that it was fantabulously amazing is an UNDERstatement... just really, really good... thing i love abt percussion performances is that they have a lot of interaction with the audience... the only other one was a free performance at the foyer of the Esplanade... but the great thing about Stomp! was the interesting personalities the performers took on... there was the ultra cool soloist... the breakdancer... the signature Loser... the 'gentle' giant... the jock... and two ultra cool ladies... so you can imagine the Loser being bullied throughout... utterly entertaining... lotsa laughter... until you can hear toddlers giggling out of nowhere... and the performers react to that as well... so very spontaneous... just wat i love in performances... they got the audience clapping to the beat at times... and up on their feet moving during the finale... thats one way of getting your audience to give you a standing ovation... but i very willingly did! the instruments used were very ordinary... and you would have never thought they sounded so great... plastic bags... tubings... sticks... brooms... dustbins... water basins... dustbin covers... matchstick boxes... lighters... metal parts... sand... and the thing-you-use-to-unclog-your-sink... so-very-ordinary... but they sound so amazing when you give them rhythm... i would seriously recommend people to go catch it... but guess what? we caught the last show... now... it's back to the real world... 20page term paper? lab reports? tutorials? bring it on. ----Stef stopped rambling at 00:52 --Link to Post |
