I feel like im cultivating the look of a photographer. Today, i met ros for lunch/dinner at raffles city. No, we didnt go cartel. Anyway, while i waited hours for her to come, someone approached me to take photographs for them. =) Ros came and we had Out of the Pan for dinner. REALLY EXPENSIVE Stuff whose taste doesnt justify the price. Chew chew and we were done. Off she goes to work and i scout around for my fren's ORD pressie. On my way back from marina square, a couple approached me to take photos for them! Two times in a day. =) im so proud. Then i even took a picture of them with my own cam. haha
Did i mention lunch with yq in chinatown this afternoon? She's learning salsa dancing at this salsa bar in chinatown. Well, that's something she has always been interested in. However, i think she went slightly overboard this time. Everyday she watches video and dance to the tapes in the afternoon and attend classes at night. Social dancing follows and continues till midnight. Not that i have a say in all this, just that it's a pretty scary thought. I hope it has nothing to do with me...well. She mentioned about her father being unhappy that she has been going home LATE everyday. One must understand, her father seldoms speaks about such things, let alone get upset over it. Haiz. Hope she get over it soon. Told her to exercise some control over herself. Wonder if she will listen to me...
While i was in chinatown, i shot a few old people on the way to the car. There is this particular old man whom i think noticed that i was shooting him. I didnt really bother until i reviewd my shots. Could see him staring angrily at the camera. Oops. Sorry uncle!
So much for talking about myself, i would like to dedicate the rest of my blog entry today to my beloved tenor mentor - handsome liew. You people are not suppose to speculate who he is, just treat him as an imaginary figure. I didnt mean to read his blog but it was THERE when i stumbled upon it. his latest blog entry stirred up so much in me that i could help but blog it down. Handsome liew, if you are reading this, PLS dont think im talking about u. =)
Handsome liew began his blog discussing about the recent happening in chorale. The issue about the X dollars royalties. (X = the number after six, or the no. cantona wore when he vollyed home the winner during FA cup final with liverpool years ago.) I am not going to side either parties because i wasnt involve in the festival in any way. I know it's not about the amount because we spend more than that on satay yesterday night. Somehow, the relation between the "mentor" and the choir has already been stretched over a long long time. This is like a rubber band pulled in opposite direction. years and years of pulling, gradually increasing in tension. All of a sudden, the x dollars issue jerked the band and all hell broke loose. The few exploited ones who felt indebted remained silent. I wont blame them for it cause they are sort of sandwiched. Frankly speaking, i hope they stay out of this matter. We should get harry potter to settle this himself. Passing words thru dancing queen aint going to help. The story of broken telephone is pretty well known by my teachings. the chorale knows nothing of potter's tone and exact words. I believe dancing queen has already filtered plenty of awful words which might easily turn the chorale against potter. Some are saying potter is taking the chorale for granted. Some are saying other wise. Bimbo Y mentioned about putting ourselves in potter's broom. Since MOST of us are young adults/uncles/aunties, seeing things from his perspective is easy. However, understanding things from his bird's eye view wont be. Im not saying i know what's going thru the womanly like brain of his, neither am i agreeing with his doings thus far. As a member of chorale, i dun think we can ever win anything if we go to olympics under a 'mentor' whom we feel terribly uncomfortable with. Alright, i guess i digress enough from handsome liew. Sorry.
Getting back on track, i want to tell handsome liew that singing in chorale is no longer about the mentor no more. If our participation in chorale has got anything to do with potter, trust me, i think my gang of frens would be better off karaokeing/beach hutting/wala-ing away. Chorale to us is a place where frens get together. Bimbos breed more brainless woman/man/trans. Handsome liew passing on his handsomeness to ugly chen. THings like these! Chorale is a place where all stupid people from all walks of life get together and croak a few notes in harmoney, be it in tune or outta tune. Sharp, flat, sticking out voices. We have had ALL of them. Chorale is about US, n** a**** ***. Eventually, potter will have to die in the book. Everything that has a beginning, has an end. Potter is like neo and agent smith. They are just balance of equation created to stablise the matrix. In order to finish you know who, potter must die! W*** ** is g***, chorale will remain. matrix remains, matrix reboots. Chorale reboots. A new conductor comes in place and we continue to thrive like before! Why are you even thinking about giving up this life you enjoy so much? For him? Im so angry when i read your blog can. I cannot, i repeat handsome liew, i CANNOT understand and will never forgive you if you tell me you are giving up life in chorale for him. simply because you cannot sing under his waving of his wands. Maybe there are other reasons, all of which i have no idea of. But well, this is what me, ugly chen, thinks about this whole issue. Your junior, me. ugly chen. yes. rude...i know, i apologize for saying all these. I want you to know that ALL of us truely and thoroughly enjoyed your company. You go on and on about this that, cars, gals, boobies, soccer, politics, music, photography, boobies, cars, soccer, travelling, boobies and more boobies. Okie fine. i was the one going on and on about the boobies part but the point is, we enjoy talking to you! in addition, the GOOD food that you bring to us. Oh baby, *muacks* the chicken pies. *muackz* auntie-the-ten-hersheys-combine-and-squeeze-into-one-cake. Well, there's one more thing...Like erm. Your singing abilities. We kinda need someone to keep us in pitch. The dumb lawyer is trying but half the time he is drunk. not so reliable. nonono, thats not my ulterior motive, just one secondary, not so important reason. =)
I hope you are not offended by any of the things i've said. Personally, im pretty disappointed that you are not joining us for the olympics. Would have been great fun to have u there with us. Seriously, i am not like THREATENING you to come back. Just want you to know that our arms are WIDE open! We LOVE HANDSOME LIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comemon people. Let's chant. We Love hAnDSome liew! WE love HAnDsome LIew! we Love hAndsome LIew!
One more thing. You donch strike me as someone capabale of expressing yourself very well eh? Maybe you should work on it. I think im alittle better than you on this. If you are willing, i can teach you a few jiajia tricks...in exchange for lessons on singing, photography, babies making, driving, finding good food... Good deal eh? hee
