For those who wish to know what kind of band Copeland is... trust me, its so soothing to the ears - you won't believe it. Just try the youtube vids I've uploaded in my previous posts.

Anyway, today's a long day, with lecture at a different theater. My goodness, it's so big, but the people who chitchats is as loud as ever. heh. Hollow LT, with just less than 200 of us. The canteen nearby was jammed packed with sardines people after lecture, thus we head back to our ole canteen. *sigh*
After which, it was art art art slab work art. I got my pot legs nicely... but I have not gotten any designs on it yet. STRESS. grrs. I don't know if i should chuck away my one side of frame idea... i realise that all my ideas takes humongous amounts of time. le sigh~
Nevertheless, am still awake but am lazy to do anything productive. zzz i feel irritated with myself. probably its those pms-y times.
.i'm not all hardcore, i melt at times too.
No intentions of showing my humble aquarium just as yet, (i feel insecure about showing it huhu) but maybe a pic or two wont kill me.
Make it just one. Hurhur.
One out of the five new additions in the tank - other than my suckerfish :D
I haven't updated the past few days' pictures... pardon me. My darling E-PL1 isn't with me right now... am currently stuck in the library waiting for the time to pass and get my Furthermore, I'm still trying to figure out if there is a decent freeware that does watermark in batches. My photographic skills might be lower than amateur (read:noob) but hey, I mean, there might be some eureka moments and I could be famous the next day yea?
Even so... I hope I can upload the pictures I took today with my PNS. (My bag now carries at least 1 camera a day).
Being lomophillic. Out of all the tables that's occupied with all ladies, ours is the messiest. Heh heh.
June june june. I wanna see your bed! It may sound wrong, but wth. I'm straight, and obviously she is too. hurhur.
This lady never fail to suprise me with her replies. blur pic tho. Heh. I miss my E-PL 1 now. Boo.
(When am I going to name my darling techy stuff now! Maybe I'm feeling the same pressure like how a soon-to-be parent would feel. hahahahaha. merepekssss.)
I may realise that the difference in my focus when I use my normal PNS camera and my m4/3. It's like I've given myself a baised expectation when I'm using the different camera at times. Probably because of how we handle the camera. It might affect on how we actually look through our lenses. I'm still desiring for an EVF, though they say it's laggy through the viewfinder. Hopefully there are more software updates and improvements along the way.
Funny how such things can happen, on worldwide terms. Heh. But I'm not surprised. Like hey, how many goddamn artistes in our part of the world copied Hollywood and MTV. heh.
God... I better stop adding all this odd adjectives that doesn't make me feel any better than what I am.

Nothing's wrong with working alone in the library. I don't emo just cos I'm alone. In fact, I feel more at ease being alone(r). Bah.
Peace.
Oh dear Love, Why must you leave?
Can you please come to Singapore for the last time?
:(
EDIT:

May 06 - Singapore
I doubt this is confirmed - but please... I want to see you :(
3rd June 2007, is a day well to be remembered. Other than it being my nephew's birthday, a rare first show of Anberlin (2nd for Copeland) performing at The Pavilion, Far East Square happens on that awesome day.
I woke up and thought of my clothes - asked my parents and suprisingly, I got off pretty well. But, while I was getting ready, I ripped the supposedly dress I wanted to wear at the worst places and I burned my hand with the iron.
Ugh. It's okay, Sal! This is Nothing compared to what I am going to experience later!
So I just closed my eyes to pick what I could wear, and pray that I wont melt even in the airconditioned room. Got ready and went out at around 4pm. Reached about 5+ at Raffles MRT station and apparently hw didi was very late. While waiting, I noticed young kids about 16~18 hanging around at the station. I went, "Omg-wtf-am-i-like-old-here-or-something?" in my head, and to avoid looking and more of these people I ended up staring at the map directory beside me. -_-"
Waited for this omg-you-are-so-late-for-the-wrong-things!-godbrother for more than half an hour before he sheepishly smiled at me. We He damn cartoon lah, I tell you. We weren't familiar to the place so even after all that glaring to the map, I made him see the map for a double-check (more like so he won't freaking blame me if i bitched to him that we got lost or something) He even took a pic of the map using his phone and can still say out loud, "I zoomed in too much". *glares* I kind of figured the buildings along the way and we walked around the place before we came back to the nearby spot and saw the MASSIVE crowd.
It's like unbelievable in my eyes, because they already started queueing and when we were lining up, the crews came around to get our stubs and exchanged it for our tags. Apparently, I find it funnily weird that the crew told me to keep my end of the stub Carefully. (He even held it with both his hands before returning it back to me.)
While mildly suffocating with the air that might choke us even further if it's not for this show, I noticed a guy beside me with an Artiste tag on him. I told hw to look and he arh, I don't know if it's just me or something, but it's like, he don't understand the meaning of artiste. Can ask me so many questions and I feel damn paiseh to reply him 'cos this cool dude was on my right. I couldn't say something like, you dumb dumb, that's the _____ from (imagine if i say a wrong band). Can't bullshit you know?
Anyway, I got massive glances by people but I proudly announced while we were rushing towards the open doors that, "I'm proud to be short and outstanding and the only one!" *evil laughs*
We looked at the merch and truthfully, it looks like it was on qouta or something, 'cos the amount of merch sold wasnt as much as I thought it would be. But the CDs were cheaper, 20 bucks instead of the 29.90 at HMV stores.
After that we were went to the front/side row, and me, being the fussy 'I-am-short-and-I-have-to-admit-it' me, I had a freaking love-hate affair with the platform I was standing. I was pushed back by a guy taller by more than a head, front by guys who said they came from Iceland, and I even fell before I can have that platform without 2 guys standing behind me and enjoyed the rest of the show.
So the show started off with The Fire Fight. A new band, but I believe they are serious musicians, judging by the way the strut their stuff. I was so shocked that some people can't even say their band names and kept saying The Fire Flight. Like, er, PLEASE READ YOUR TICKETS lah~! ISN'T it THERE? Same goes to Vertical Rush and March Twelve. Well, they had their amazing stuff on stage, but I was suprised Ms. Marie(if i'm not wrong) or Ms. Vocals said something vulgar when she was like the only lady up on the stage for the entire show. - Emcee: Singapore representatives eh? Us: *o_o* wtf? - After the awesome local bands performance, we had a 1/2 hour break before Copeland starts. We also had 1 minute silence and a song from Vertical Rush tribute to the late Wayne Thunder. During these times I was arguing with my selfish brain over so many things that I almost wished I have 2 me-s so I could be backstage while standing at the platform.
So while the emcee was going to introduce Copeland, he told us that we should keep the stubs for the next day~ 4th June for a Secret Acoustic Show at HomeClub. For all ages yadayada~ I'm like ohhh, so that's why the guy asked me to keep my stub. 10 bucks instead of the usual 20. Hmm. I wished it was in the afternoon and not late because I'd be breaking my own responsibilities if I were to be late 2 nights in a row. But sadly, the show will only start after 7.30pm. Sigh. Nevermind. Make 3rd June worthwhile! After the emcee said all that, he continued by saying... "So let's welcome..."
"ANBERLIN!!!"
*crowds cheers* I went o.O but continued cheering.
Then Copeland came out and pointed out the emcee's mistake. and he sheepishly apologised while we jeered at him. Lol. You weak emcee! But it was cool, Copeland was laughing over it.
And... while Copeland played we all are pretty well behaved until when it comes to the fast songs. I recalled them singing You Have My Attention as well. One song dedicated to those who went for Baybeats 2005 (Copeland's 1st show).
Some girl just screamed, "I love you Copeland!" out of nowhere. Aaron replied, "I love you too". I bet that girl fainted or something. haha.
Another break for Anberlin... this time everyone looks more hyped and ready to enjoy themselves. When I said with an evil laugh, "Now it's our turn to sing out loud!" some chicks in front of me heard and giggled among themselves. I'm quite curious whether it's like a joke or something, but who cares! I will enjoy myself, yeah! *pumped up*
And yeap. When Anberlin came up, Stephen was teaching us to sing Oh Oh Yeah Yeah for Time & Confusion, we end up singing along the rest of the songs. Stephen went on saying, "Oh my. We should have come sooner!" The peeps were so energetic and hyped that everyone was singing along to every single Anberlin song. We continued singing parts of the song that Stephen left out and he looked pretty amazed. Stephen even reintroduced the band "coming from the US". I replied, "Like, hell, we all know yeah!"
Moshing was funny. I wasn't part of it though hehe. :D What I was enjoying most was 2 songs, Dismantle.Repair. (I sang along to it with all my heart. as well as screaming "Change", "REPAIR!" "You dismantle me" and "Help me! Save me from myself" - Somehow I was seriously singing my hearts and emotions out. I really sound like I meant every word. And I felt good. =] ) And of course, the LAST SONG. DANCE DANCE CHRISTA PAFFGEN. I KNEW they would play the song! HAHA. *dances*
It's my first and I bet my best awesome show. Please come back Anberlin & Copeland !!! *Hearts*

-------* Wondering if i should go for the Secret Show. Grr. Acoustic! Darn. I want!
Fell past a cheekbone hill to a piece of her floor, The hope of the world is an awkward spill. [referring to her tears] Oh, she'd lie on her bed and stare into harsh white light, And think that her heart's not right. Cause love took her hand like a thief, Took her heart like a robber. And the feelings that scare her become her relief.
Just let me run where I want to run. Just let me love who I want. Just let me run where I want to run. Just let me love who I want.[or so, she says]
In a flash her heart is slain, you have to ask in all this pain. Was your heart too soft? Was your love in vain? Was your kiss too weak? Were your eyes too tight? And much too young to be in love? And much too young to be in love? [The head's asking the heart; she's asking herself]
Just let me run where I want to run. Just let me love who I want. Just let me run where I want to run. Just let me love who I want. Just let me run where I want to run. Just let me love who I want.[or so, she says]
Cause there are no rules for this love. Just keep your head and don't give up. Or call the fools who play it smart. Lose your head just for your heart. Just for your heart.
-------* Was it so wrong to follow my heart? Was it so wrong? I wanted you to know, just wanted you to know.
Anberlin & Copeland, later tonight.
I pray my tears won't fall when I'm there. 'cos I'd scare the hell out of people if I do. lol.
I was pulling my hair and getting all woozy and cocky suddenly 'cos my eyes saw this... I want to know if the 2 presale ticket's MINE!!! How do I know if I've gotten them? Won't they like call me or something? *rambles and rants* UGH. COME on... I MUST HAVE THE TICKETS! WHY? WHY?!
