singing in the golden rain

My First Gig err.. Participation

Yea so like i said before, i would be shit-busy out and about and working on Sunday so i hardly had any spare time to update anything on what happened with my weekend. But it was spent well and with a dash of fun, a hint of laughter, and a whole truckload full of local music and flavour. The performances i watched outside Cineleisure was amazing! Of course, besides the screaming dudes (they were apparently a Metal - or totally Rock - band) so many people were turned off by the screaming and the loud amplifiers by their ears as they walk past the black stage and stairs. It hardly had anything else, just some amps, white gates, their instruments and microphones. And the production crew weren't any good. Microphones were hardly workable coz half the time the singers were speaking you can't hear a single word they were saying let alone hear them sing their own songs. It sucked that way but the songs i heard were wonderful. Some were so good i had to tap my feet and bob my head.

And when boyfie's band came up, i finally heard the applause they deserved. Sigh. He played the guitar like an amazing pro and he's been at it for almost 7 years! Sighhh.. I felt so utterly lucky to have a taste of his band's music. And as i watched his fingers strum so fast over the guitar, i was star-strucked and beyond words. It was surreal! He played sooooooo well. He opened for most of the songs they played. And he was soooo in to playing the music that he started jumping around like a true guitarist. HAHAHAHA. I thought it was the most beautiful sound i've ever heard in my entire life, and yes i think i've moved on from my first love (normal guitar) to my new love, the electric guitar. Oh, how smitten i am with his guitar...

Then after meeting Izyana - from TP - we watched a few bands play and left, in a hurry, to watch what's left of the fireworks display during the NDP Preview. Esplanade was packed to the brim we couldn't even get past the flyover and just sat at the end, hoping to at least see some of the fireworks. And it was beautiful. It was bright, big, loud, and prettyyyy... Like the black sky that night was producing golden rain upon Marina Bay. It was a very wonderful sight to see for a lovely night like last Saturday. I had fun. Hehe. Then coz everyone got too hungry we hurried off to Marina Square and ate at the foodcourt there. And coz of the NDP crowd, it was packed and hardly had any empty seats that stayed empty for more than 3 mins. Luckily we had seats outside the foodcourt. I'm just glad that it wasnt humid and hot out.

Then we sat by Esplanade and took pictures with boyfie's camera, left at 1045pm and head off for home. And then, of course, Sunday was spent at work. Woke up early without feeling too sleepy and drained, came to work peachy and smiling, hugging and air-kissing people i see and making sure i wouldn't ruin my rep at work. At least not many people confronted me on what happened last 2 Saturdays, which was good for me since it won't be affecting anything. I actually had a pleasant time at work and i was walking around smiling like the world is filled with super-soft candy. HAHAHA. Then i met boyfie after work and he escorted me all the way home. Sigh..

Finally, a lovely weekend. :)

Oh and here are some of the pictures i took during the performance. I didn't take other bands' performance so it's very very little. And should i say very amateurish.

Enjoy though! :D

The groupies. HAHAHA. Nah, we were there to support the boys.PS: I swear i can't rmbr the names :S but the one on the extreme right is Iqa ;)


The guys :DFrom Left: Ariff (guitar/vocalist), Sai Jo (drummer), Faris "boyfie" (guitarist/vocalist):D ahhh my heart's filled with pride. LOL


They were amazing on stage. :)




It might seem empty but behind me was a huge crowd. Coz everyone else was afraid that if they stood in the middle they might get kicked or trampled on by other people, unbothered by the performances, that are trying to get into Cineleisure. HAHAH


Another angle. The small dude on the extreme left by the white pillar is part of the production crew. Not a nice-looking dude. Looked pissed the whole time. -.-'''


Me and Iqa :)


Iqa wearing one of the boys' friend's hat. I liked the hat.

Sorry for the lengthy, wordy post but i dont have much pictures to post. Unless i steal them from boyfie's memory card, which would be good. LOL. Anyways, August is here and fasting month is coming on the 22nd! To all my Muslim friends, be prepared :)
Take care and God Bless
XOXO!
