i've had a great 2 days since i returned from bali...doubt and confusion sometimes clouded me..but on the whole, i've had a fab time...
actually went to sungei buloh yesterday morning coz xiang had to look at some mangroves for his geog project...took a stroll down the mangrove boardwalk and spotted some crabs and a mudskipper in the swampy grounds...it was relaxing, not-too-mosquito-filled, and sweet...it's nice to do something out-of-the-ordinary...
a scary thing happened on our way home though...i'd my eyes closed and was just enjoying the ride when this resounding crash jolted me out of my reverie....turns out he'd dozed off at the wheel and we'd crashed into the PIE divider...thank god he swerved out immediately...the car had a long, nasty scratch on the driver's side, and his door's abit wonky now..but we still got home safe...i think what was most traumatic was that he had to tell his dad what had happened..........man.........i guess it's a good thing his dad was rushing to get out of the house and didn't have much time to scream at us...i didn't relish being in xiang's position...
we went to the esplanade for his performance in the evening....yup the SWIM SHADYS strike again - this time at the ESPLANADE for the MADE IN SINGAPORE performance haha with mark and kenneth in the US, xiang had to rope in his sec schoolmate to play some of the guitar parts...saturday night's jamming practice went well...and i think yesterday's performance went ok too...yes there were hiccups and all..but hey, it's exposure, it's suppose to be fun...just learn from it and enjoy it...
it was a good thing they were the first to perform, coz towards 8pm, the drizzle got real bad and some of the other bands didn't get to perform...still managed to catch TIC TAC TONE (a vocal band with a female singer who looked and dressed like a gei-tai aunty but had a fantastic voice), and the UNIVERSAL BLUES BAND who were great and professional, though a tad draggy...was looking forward to watching ELECTRICO perform, but the rain had other ideas...we left at 9pm after a HOT dinner at thai express...
KO-ed once i got home......
