[driving]

tomorrow is driving lesson day! yyesso! saturday another lesson! wow weee! i'm thinking of increasing the frequency of the lessons. to maybe 3 times a week? i'm like still stalling the car and its almost my 8th lesson. damn.

anyways the last lesson was on thursday. it was raining. it was bad. i stalled like 4 times. damn shit.


not to mention at work it was hell! i wished the ground would have swallowed me up. some manager apek asked me out to dinner. he was saying like "before u finish ur itp i want to ajak u kluar makan." i thought like he's going to be a friendly uncle. so i sorta agreed but wasnt exactly convincing. then he suddenly said "eh later we go ah". i was like huh?! then he asked for my number and i was fucking holding my hp at that time. so i gave it to him. shit sia.


anyways it happened abt a week ago. so i'm abit lazy to keep repeating the story. just that it sparked a conversation between me and jae..who happens to be my favourite person in the world. haha! I HAVE MAJOR ISSUES REGARDING HER! DAMN MYSELF. i dont know why i'm so stupid to put this in here but i dont really care. my minds not working. fingers on auto pilot. so yeah i decided to leave his face there and cabot home. i soon arranged to buy haagen dazs ice cream from my nephew at Century Square so i had a reason to leave and not be lying. haha! belgian chocolate and coffee baby! heaven on earth. ok maybe not cos it increases the risk of me having my asthma attack. hah. a few days later when i unfortunately made eye contact with him in the office,he came over and asked me why i didnt go. i replied that i had to go home. then he asked "kenape? takut nk kluar?" and i was like "takda la..." when i was actually thinking WTF!!! eeeewww man that guy. irritating like hell. but he's a funny person actually. but pervertic. bleah. so now i'm ignoring him.


oh and back to the thursday issue. since i got driving lesson at 6 i came to work early so that i can leave early without sacrificing my working hours and have the risk of sp chasing my ass in the future. so yeah i went off earlier and since that was the same day that he asked me abt why i stood him up, i smsed jae lor. then she was like "sick bastard." god i love that girl. haha. and then she offered me a ride home after driving lesson. haha. TRUTH BE TOLD I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT! HAHA. so i definitely said yes without fear cos my parents were off in jakarta. haha. i was nervous the whole time. damn this girl makes me feel like a lunatic or something. ish. ok so she did pick me up and she was on time,bless the girl. haha. she drove a fiat with semi auto transmission. after loads of researching,i think that she was driving a fiat grande punto,6 gear semi auto. it was a nice ride. really smooth even with her reckless driving. she drives really fast and the pick up of the grande punto was noticably good. jae probably watches too much "top gear" and aspires to be a racer. haha. she rented the car apparently. and it smelled like cigarette smoke which was abit nauseating. lol. anyways i am extremely jealous of her driving. she does it so brilliantly,i feel like punching her. seriously. so yeah we talked along the way about nothing in particular. and then she went all the way into the carpark at my place and parked there. haha. then we chilled for abit at the void deck. talking again abt nothing in particular. mostly what we've been doing or what we've been through. got to know her abit better this few months. theres always something new to learn abt her. hmm. anyways she was stalling for time to be with me when she actually has a movie date with her friend. haha. so anyways she had to go. and the way she said "i'll see you soon?" almost broke my heart. but i didnt reply what my heart was saying. i was just nodding my head or something when my heart was screaming " YES PLEASE?!!!" aiya. very complicated. so she went off to the car...probably feeling dejected with me when i said "i'll see you in 10 years" which i find is not funny. but at the last minute i managed to salvage something by shouting "thanks for the ride!" to which she grinned widely and said " no problem!". she is such a a sweetheart. although she has changed alot since the past 4-5 years. i prefer her old self. she was so much more loving and nice and innocent. but now... i dont know. and truth be told again that i wanted so much to hug her. ever since that day 4 years ago in the hospital.. i've always wanted to hug her. she seems so lonely and sad but she has loads of friends and all that. i dont know. too complicated. i know she'll never read this and loads of people wont either thats why i dare to type all this in here.


JAE IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE READING THIS. YES I WANT TO SEE YOU SOON. BUT IT SEEMS YOU ARE WORKING NOW AND NOT AS FREE AS YOU USED TO BE. I AM SERIOUSLY MISSING YOU ALREADY. YOU CANNOT IMAGINE HOW MUCH. I WISH I NEVER HAVE TO GO OUT WITH YOU BECAUSE I CANT SEEM TO WANT TO STOP WHEN I DO. ITS KINDA FREAKING ME OUT FOR ME TO SAY THIS HERE THOUGH. I SOUND LIKE A LUNATIC! LOL. ok so that feels like a huge burden was just lifted. haha. i know u'll nvr read this. so i guess u'll nvr know the truth. i mean every word.

so i gtg now. i cant help myself but type long entries everytime i blog. lol. not that anyone reads it or anything. hmm. hope i dont stall the car tomorrow. enjoy the pictures. haha! good night and take care everyone..!

[earth wind and fire experience featuring Al McKay Allstars concert!]

oh yeah baby me, my uncle, and my mom and her friends went to the Earth Wind and Fire Experience concert featuring the Al McKay Allstars yesterday (sunday 9 March). we were all hyped up about the concert la basically. I only just realised that i'm not only going with my mom and her best friend but also with my uncle and some other people whom i vaguely remember in my life previously. anyways it was abit awkward at first and we loosened up gradually. some of us were worried we'd want to go to the toilet half way along the concert to drink when we went to drink. anyways when we got to the esplanade theatre we were shown the way to our seats my the polite ushers. amazingly and never before in my life... WE GOT FRONT ROW SEATS!!!! we were abit sceptical at first but we soon found out that one of the friends was responsible for it. we gratefully thanked her and teased her. haha. my mom was shouting something like "harun mak yah!". whatever la. anyways the concert started on time (8pm as stated on ticket) which is also a first for me. haha.
initially i was disappointed that the original line up of Earth Wind and Fire weren't performing but we warmed up to the band. They were really awesome. It was a 14 piece band with Al McKay playing lead guitar. there were 3 vocalists(all black) who were really sexy even the fat one,who happen to be Al's little brother, the Earth Wind and Fire signature Phenix Horns (1 white and awesome saxophonist who looks like my uncle,1 trombonist who i read is suppose to be dead or something lol,and 2 trumpet players 1 of them very funny and enthusiastic), 2 keyboardist,1 percussionist,1 drummer(who is only 22 and such an awesome not to mention hot white dude), 1 bassist(who looked at me dance like i was the hottest thing on earth and made me feel sexy lol!). hahaa! that dude can dance man. anyways the choreography was awesome.. stimulating. the songs fuh! although they cant beat Maurice White's and Phillip Bailey's vocals. The vocalists were really talented people, 1 having performed with/for stevie wonder and barry white, 1 with the emotions and others, and the other is a choreographer,hair stylist and designer. awesome,awesome stuff i tell u.
The songs were performed with such passion we cant help but to get swept away with it. The band played brilliantly down to the very last note! they sang all the hit songs and from what i gather some new ones. one of them ( tim something i cant remember his last name) sang while looking at my mom's best friend and she was so embarrassed while he just grinned so widely like his mouth was threatening to tear his face apart. tim and edwin(the sax player) also serenaded a japanese woman who was in the first row and another woman during the song "reasons" miming what Phillip Bailey did on the Earth Wind and Fire DVD. that wasted a good 10mins at least. but after that edwin got a standing ovation and a get a drink sign by one of the friend. lol. along half way through the concert they asked us to stand up (the whole theatre was on their feet and dancing like maniacs while waving the light thingy) and played all their fast and upbeat numbers like fantasy ( my fav), september, boogie wonderland etc. and we didnt sit down and kept dancing like mad(including me and the bassist was shaking his head going "wooh/fuh!" with his mouth and Al's bro kept glancing at me i think which only spurred me on) till the end to which none of us wanted to go home and started chanting and cheering and stomping and throwing the liquid light thingy. they finally came out again with the crowd shouting and screaming. the trumpetist threw the lights back to the audience. haha! i was laughing the whole time. Al McKay came to the mike and said " we love you singapore! u made us tired up here! this is actually our second time here but this is the first public concert. and i definitely made a good decision to play here( not sure abt this part. its something to this effect) " and proceeded to introduce the band and vocalists. it was tim's birthday too. haha. and tim kept urging us to echo him which we did and he said " i love y'all!" to which one of the friends said "diorang tipu kita ah!" and i laughed again. anyways they kept saying they loved us and that we were awesome which i absolutely love and appreciate. i love grateful performers. haha.
so they proceeded to perform somemore songs like lets groove and more to which we kept on dancing. haha! there were so many cute and hot musicians up there and they're all infront of my innocent and hungry eyes. haha! after the concert finally ended and they bowed thank yous, one of the friend called out to the trumpet player " yo! yo!" and like tapped their knuckles. haha! and then he called out to one of the vocalist and shook his hand. i was laughing like hell. it was an absolutely amazing experience and so far this is hands down the best concert i've been to. nothing can top this performance for now. haha! to top it all off..when we were swept by the throngs of people trying to get on the escalator,i saw claud and his gf farah. haha. dont know what they were doing there. but claud looked like he hasnt shaved for awhile which i think looks ok on him. haha! if farhan wasnt lying to me, he said that farah is a chinese so i am okay. haha.
oh and i just got news that one of the friends(the same one who shook hands with the vocalist) apparently talked to the sax player after the concert and when we all have gone our separate ways. we dont know what he said to edwin but got news that edwin said we all knew how to dance. hahaha! NOW THAT WAS NICE! considering i've never danced unchoreographed before. haha. i love it. i'm smiling like a nutcase right now. the euphoria will probably last till tomorrow. haha!
anyways,this has been a pretty long entry. haha! sorry i cant provide pictures. "the performers requested that there'll not be any photography. and since we were all too busy enjoying and dancing.. me oogling at guys.. there wasnt the time. haha! EH SARAH NEXT TIME THERES A CONCERT WITH ARTISTS WE BOTH LIKE(with the exception of chris brown) I BLANJA YOU! haha. ok so thats all. bye, take care and good night! btw the song Mi Buen Amor by Gloria Estefan is so soothing and sweet and it apparently reminds me of claud. bleah. have a listen if u have the time. haha!
