Old pics of Bali (2006)

I miss our chill-out afternoons at Cafe Del Mar

All I need is the sun, my sunscreen lotion, a couple of issues of Reader's Digest and you by my side.
That will be my favourite way to spend a day.

My first hair appointment at Toni & Guy

It's just crazy. David Mercer, director of Toni & Guy, has offered to cut my hair! I really don't know what to expect on Thursday but I'm very, very excited. Whee.... Will post pics of my new haircut.
Right now, I'm fighting to get well. Have been down with flu since Friday. I guess Saturday just made my condition worst. I had to be at Marina Square for the Bodyshop's Makeover Marathon then followed by a gig at Timbre's 2nd anniversary party. I only got home after midnight. I have been sleeping in since Sunday. It's Tuesday and I'm not feeling any better. I am running a temperature right now and all that is on my mind are my children in school. It's the examination period and I hope they gave their best. By the looks of it, I won't be able to go back to work tomorrow. Sigh.. I am just stuck with the four walls of my room and several bottles of mineral water by my bed.
Please. Please get well soon cos I am going to Toni & Guy. Heh.

I want the dress!

Mutemath's muisc video: 'Typical'

This music video, which premiered on YouTube on March 21, 2007, really kicks ass! In less than 4 days of its premiere, it registered more than 100,000 viewers!! I still can't believe that GSE played at the same music festival as them this year!
Love the concept of the video, which juxtaposes the title of the song. Apparently, the whole band had to do whatever is in the video backwards to get that awesome effect. okok.. This reverse effect is not fresh cos it has already been done before in Jack Johnson's 'sitting waiting wishing'. Also done wayback by Spike Jonze in his renowned work in Pharcyde's 'Drop'. It is all good. I heart Mutemath's video too!
For the video, Paul Meany had to learn to sing the song backwards and props to the drummer, Darren King, who had to play the drumbeats in reverse as well. Paul Meany's keytar aka synthar aka electroponce.... is coolness. It's a Korg RK-100. Yes, I am envious and No, I have not found a keytar yet. Sigh.. Anywhos, check out the making of the video.

An afternoon at Cafe Del Mar, Sentosa

GSE got to be models for a day

Look out for GSE in November issues of FHM and LIME magazines.

Mike's & Jerrine's birthday @ Barracks

Celebrated in a private room at Barracks. An initial intimate affair turned out to be the opposite. It was still a lovely affair. Mike has hoping we pulled out a golf set to his surprise. Sigh.. Sorry Mike. I hope the money from all of us was enough to subsidise that dream set of irons. We actually wanted to get you a PSP. However, through voting, most of us feel money will be good so that you can get whatever you wanted. There was a limited selection of food but it was good. There were about 20 or more of us at a long table. It looked like a scene of 'The Last Supper'. The bill amounted to an amount which somehow wasn't sorted out among oursleves. Douglas, Khai and David had to chip in additional $50 each to try to top up the difference. Saiful and some others joined in to chip in more money. So in the end, we managed to sort out the bill but after a long.... time. In the end, Khai and myself had to pay $200 for our share of dinner. Whatever it was, we had a great evening, chilling out at the veranda. Dino got himself silly drunk and it was quite funny. I hope Mike enjoyed himself too.
