i fell asleep on the bus on my way home and had to walk back from the end stop. how embarassing it was to be woken up by a stranger. i still cannot change lane in fast traffic, and the instructor still chopped a stamp on the booklet. there's something wrong about this, kind of like how the army gives you multiple choice questions that you will never fail, no matter how brainless you are.

yesterday i spent the whole afternoon and evening in the marina area. the events was baybeats 2004 but it was really an excuse for mats and assorted people with weird clothes and even weirder dress sense to parade about town. check out the blue coloured mohawks and the skinny striped pants, ma. first up was analog girl. i was expecting bjork-like histrionics but it was just some semblence of a tune with electronica beats. over at the chillout area, it was aspidistria fly playing um chillout music. mostly we were taking pictures of said weird people. then we went over to the arena (wow how very glastonbury) and saw pensionstate. they actually had screaming fans and fyi, i think the band's name sucks. some ho-hum noisy rock ensued.. very boring.. i didn't get it.. the lead singer kept on jumping into the air when the drummer plays something fancy. then i met joanne whom millie tried to hook me up with. har har. and then we went to see the observatory cuz i thought they were quite good and i could sing along cuz i have their cd, but the two girls said they were boring but i didn't think so. their keyboardist-cum-singer is schoolteacher-hot and leslie low has a better voice than that pensionstate guy. contrary to popular opinion the local music scene is alive and well judging from the catcalls and frantic applause. unfortunately they only played two old songs in their 30min set. i think that 'this sad song' actually has potential to be a radio hit, given the right amount of airplay. it's tunefulness is on par with say, keane's somewhere only we know or any coldplay song.

so that was it and it made me wanna buy a guitar. and even though i once swore that the first song i'll ever learn to play will never be 'more than words', i've been doing that since last week when i was stuck in camp. i am such a loser.
