'Cause you're over the atlantic, baby

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year, guys. (New year is not a big event in this house.)

Fields of Gold

Pictures! Jessica's (or Yuhua's, I'm not quite sure), because mine are terrible and need copious amounts of editing which I'm too lazy to do/not sure I can fix.

Pretty lights!

Singapore flag. (:

Yuhua's signed setlist!!

Pretty things

Take a look at me now,

So, there was a concert.

Pretty lights!

Hello, Kelly Jones.

Very Matt Bellamy, no?

Unfortunately, I have no good pictures of the shirtless drummer. He was grinning and looked like he was having fun. ♥

Concert was good, though the bass was a bit too loud and thumpy I think? The audience was pretty tame, no shoving to get to the front or anything. Though I heard one lady say the crowd in front was pretty wild.

Someone threw a slipper at Kelly Jones! It was pretty bad but also quite amusing. The band left the stage and there was a lot of name calling but when they came back on the energy level of the crowd suddenly shot up hahaha. Like seriously, everyone started dancing/jumping/singing and it got a lot more fun.

Pity I didn't know many of their songs, but they played Maybe Tomorrow, Innocent, Mr. Writer and Dakota. I was disappointed that Maybe Tomorrow wasn't acoustic, and that they didn't play I'm Alright. But it was awesome nonetheless!

At the end of the concert we were standing around talking, then suddenly this guy walked up to us and picked something up from the grass near our feet. YEAH THERE WAS A PICK ON THE GROUND AND WE DID NOT SEE IT. Oh, the tragedy.

I've uploaded the videos here, sound isn't the best because of the bass (WATCH ME ALLITERATE), but I like the Dakota one because you can see/hear the crowd singing and having fun. (:

I ATE PINEAPPLE AND NOW MY TONGUE FEELS SO, SO STRANGE.

And you will be changed,

Cat Power pictures!

It seems like a long time ago now. I do so love Chan Marshall, she is brilliant and her voice is so beautiful and flawless. Or perhaps perfectly flawed? Anyhow, I had goosebumps throughout the first five minutes of the concert, from the moment she started singing. It was a bit surreal, to know that that was the same person I've watched repeatedly on Youtube in the same room as I and oh look Gregg Foreman with his stupid hair!

I was pleased that I knew most of the songs from the first bit, quite a few of them were from Jukebox. There were my favourites: Silver Stallion, Metal Heart and Don't Explain. Don't Explain was absolutely gorgeous- my favourite of all she performed that night. Oddly enough, when she started on her more popular songs nearer to the end, they were unfamiliar to me.

My sad view of the stage.














Why are my eyes so squinty?






Padma says this shot looks like some Taiwanese star trying to evade reporters. Heh. I like it.

I am so sleepy there were other things I was going to blog about but g'night, folks.
