Update!

As I sit here this morning with a throbbing heading, drinking coke and listening to Free Falling, I wonder, what shall I be writing about today? Bitchy stuff like how I'm beginning to feel stuck in church or analysing my voyeuristic observations I've been making?

I went to watch the Philharmonic Winds last night!! I know hearing that probably brings snores to many people, but last night's performance was hilarious and breathtaking because Phil winds decided to go pop! (as in popular songs) they played a couple of obiang chinese songs from the 60s, Contemporary ones like Better Man, Over the Rainbow and get this, UMBRELLA! No kidding! These musicians aren't paid by the orchestra, hence plenty teach/instruct in schools, and yesterday's Esplanade concert hall met a huge swarm/herd of noisy, catcalling kids. Ok they didn't really mind the cheering at the start and end of each song, It warmed up the concert hall much more. Umbrella was really hilarious because all the kids were belting out the l yrics during the chorus, plus the conductor was shaking his ass off man!

Everyone! Go watch this! No it's not the Jade Seah video (although honestly, the voice doesn't even sound like hers la) It's John Mayer singing Free Falling in the hottest way ever.

I love it when I see cute couples, not cute lovey dovey typical couples, but couples which you'd never expect ot see, people you though would never be able to find a match because of their super high intellectual ability, and matches which just seem sooo weird when you see them. For instance, an uber emo ah beng with streaky blond hair and a qian-bian face holding hands with the nerdiest girl you've ever seen instead of the normal skinny, fair-skinned, long-rebinded-hair mei mei they sling across their arms. Or how bout 2 top debaters? Every line they speak lined with sarcasm, dripping with 'coolness' and saturated with cynicism. And there's nothing like watching an emo-angsty-nonchalent 20 year old poly student smiling at the photos of his girlfriend's baby girl, even though the kid's not his. Or a couple of cute coly poly people going for a romantic dinner.

When I saw each of this different couples, I couldn't help but either stare in wonderment, or get that warm and fuzzy feeling. they taught me 2 things, 1, no matter what people might say, you can be sure that you'll be able to find your complete exact match (perhaps) Or at least someone who really thinks the way you do, loves the things you do and has a similar mental capacity as you. And secondly, it taught me that love makes peopl accept things they might not have accepted before. Dating a single mum? Or an ah beng dropout (maybe la, drama a bit) what would your mother say? or what would your friends do?

All you need is Love..... Oei, love can eat one meh.
