Bodysnatchers

There's a lump in my throat, I think I am going to get a sore throat. Crap!
I live in terror at the thought that the timpani for SYF is going to be the step and release kind. As opposed to the one where you can just move the note up and down without releasing the pedal. Ugggh. Okay all barriers are in the mind, and if I tell myself I can't do it I really won't be able to, and stuff like that...
After SYF is going to be really weird, my life would feel so empty. I'm going to miss band.
And I freaked out when I realised that I completely forgot about Bio SPA. DS just reminded me on MSN, thank goodness. Band has eaten my brain.
Everytime I watch Japan Hour I miss Jap.
It's raining!

Last Flowers

I am reading!!
Not really deliberate on my part, I didn't go to the library or force myself to read a book, I just did. :D It was something I bought a while ago in Borders and yesterday I just picked it up and started reading. And today I came home and continued and I am hooked. And okay I stopped because I have to do Bio prac but I am still hooked.
OKAY IF ALEC DIES PEOPLE WILL SUFFER. IF RICHARD DIES PEOPLE WILL SUFFER MORE but Richard's not going to die.
I'm just saying, people keep dying in my books. Like Akkarin and Delaunay and Alcuin and Shigeru and Henry. I have been scarred for life.
Hahahaha I am so much of a happy fangirl. Alec is so lovably violent and antagonistic and sarcarstic and self destructive, and Richard is self assured and flawed and kind of sweet. And they are so subtle and unconventional.
And I realised, Pammie knows every one of the characters in my whited out list above. :D

I Am The Walrus

Okay, pictures!

Oasis live in Singapore, 5th April 2009.


Oasis on stage.

Liam Gallagher! And Andy Bell I think, please correct if wrong.



Noel!


Yuhua and me during the concert. :D






Tonight, I'm a rock 'n' roll star



Drummer, Chris Sharrock I think.
Last desperate picture of Noel as they left the stage.

Hamsty, me and Padma, after the concert.

I made a mistake, I Am The Walrus (Beatles cover) was the last song. It's so awesome, I was trying to find out what it was. Everyone went Whoo! during the chorus. :D

Click here to download all the photos. You have to download them separately though, so it's pretty tedious. I'm sorry. :/
I am the eggman (Whoo!)
They are the eggmen (Whoo!)
I am the walrus, goo goo g'joob

Champagne Supernova

CGSSB HAVING SYF TOMORROW I WANT TO GO BUT EVEN IF I DON'T ALL THE BEST AND CGSSB PERCUSSION = AWESOME FOREVER AND I'M PROUD OF MY JUNIORS!!
I miss CGSSB and the SYF craziness. And my section. Like the wishing at 1.11pm. And the getting so high backstage we weren't even nervous anymore. ):
I seem to be on a semi-permanent high. Excluding the moments when I was trying to keep awake in class today. Was seriously zombified during Bio and Math, but I'm still high from yesterday. Padma and Hamsty share the same sentiments. :D
Seriously, on my way to school today I was practically boucing. And trying to keep myself from grinning. Oh man. Though school dampened the effect somewhat, memories of the concert were probably what kept me going all day. :D
Although, now I can't remember anything clearly anymore! My memory span is so horribly depressing. Okay I should sleep more!! So that my synapses will form and my memory will be retained and whatever shit so that I can preserve images of Liam's face and the sheer awesomeness of Oasis.
I am really sorry for the incoherency of this post, I cringe at my own writing. But I can't call up my writing skillz right now and I think my 24 hour high has screwed up my brain but I have to go do homework. ):
Oh but pictures will be forthcoming soon if I don't get killed in school! They're in my com already and I'm having trouble opening videos with my Windows Media Player but if anyone wants I'll see what I can do about sending the videos.
Seriously, the mention of anything Oasis is probably going to set me off for the next week or so.
What's the story, morning glory?

Morning Glory

I am back from Oasis!!
My shirt/ dress and bag were soaked, and not all the sweat was mine. Heh. I went into a mosh pit with slippers and survived! Though remind me never to do that again. It was a bit intense at first, and I was worrying about squashing Padma's poster and my toe (which I injured this morning). But in the end I just stuffed the poster in my bag (It got majorly squished, which I will never stop apologising for, but at least it's an authentic squashed-by-maniac-Oasis-fans Oasis poster!) and gave up not trying to get my feet stepped on. The crowd was crazy at first, and there was a whole bunch of jumping and pushing, and I almost fell over but there were just more people to fall onto. But everyone got tired or something after a bit, and there was considerably less jumping and stuff. And everyone got completely drenched in sweat and nobody really cared about whose sweat they were getting on them or whose hair was in their face it was just OASIS OASIS OASIS. (:
We started out pretty far behind, feeling extremely short. Couldn't really see the stage, and most people were taller than even Padma. Hamsty and I had no chance at all. But then the Awesome Hamster pulled me to the front during the concert! Haha. We lost Padma for a bit, but then she found her way in front and we ended up being not five metres away from Liam Gallagher. :D :D :D Thank you to the Extremely Nice People who let me in front of them!! Because Hamsty would be in front of me with people in between, and we would be holding hands and then when they saw us they would just let me cut in front of them. This happened with a few different people. One guy even pushed me in front of him. So thank you!! As Padma said, people are pretty nice at concerts.
They played a lot of songs I didn't know though, which was sad. (Hardcore Oasis fan I apparently am not.) But there was Morning Glory, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, I'm Outta Time and Champagne Supernova. So awesome. (: People behind me were shouting for them to play Wonderwall, and before they did Liam introduced it as Some Might Say and they played Wonderwall instead, and everyone just went crazy. And they ended with Champagne Supernova which was (: (: (: words cannot describe. I was looking forward to them playing Talk Tonight, but oh well. THIS IS AS ACCURATE AS I CAN MANAGE, I AM SORRY IF THERE IS INCORRECT INFORMATION HERE BUT EVERYTHING IS A LITTLE BLURRY IN RETROSPECT. OH AND THEY PLAYED THE MASTERPLAN TOO HOW COULD I FORGET THAT!! So much awesome in two hours. (:
Liam is such a... rock star. When he wasn't singing, sometimes he'd just stand at the front of the stage and look down at all of us and just sort of revel in the total admiration/ adoration/ worship (I am not kidding when I use this word) of the crowd. Seriously. Oh oh and I thought he was wearing a trench coat, but Padma and Hamsty said it was a jumper! Hahahaha so cute and it had pockets!
And he threw a tambourine, which flew over my head! Sigh.
I am currently half deaf in the right ear which is a little worrisome but I suppose it will recover in time. I had no voice when the concert ended, I was singing/ shouting to the songs that I actually knew and attempting to scream and encore but I abandoned the latter two because my voice sounded so tinny to me that there was no kick to it. Hahaha. But my voice came back. ): I hope I have no voice tomorrow because then I can tell people that I shouted my lungs out for Oasis if they ask. :D
Sadly I cannot find the thing that connects the memory card to the computer and I am just dying to look at the videos but I can't. ): AND THIS DISTURBS ME but there was a guitarist in front of me whom I took the most/ best pictures of and I WAS AT THAT TIME UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT WAS NOEL but I think Padma mentioned that it might have been Andy Bell but I actually still think it was Noel!! Because I went to google their images and it's probably either Gem Archer or Noel but neither Gem nor Andy sing (I think) SO I THINK IT IS NOEL.
I am such a bad Oasis fan. ):
Where were you while we were getting high?
