to update on what i did yesterday! came home super late last night (technically, it was this morning as it was after 12 midnight) so i couldn't use the comp.
i went for a family lunch at AMK Hub. but i ate very little since i had my breakfast just a couple hours eariler. afterwards my sis and i went to kuan's house after, like, 1 and a half months! we saw geok han (also my cousin. she's kuan's elder sister) watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose, which is actually a good movie. it was kinda scary sometimes but i all it was relly nice. i applaud the actress. acting out those scenes must have been very difficult.
after that, we (my sis, geok han and i) set off for Bugis cos kuan and his band (BALQIOS) was playing a gig at Red Bar in Bugis (no age limit la). then we were taking mrt to bugis and waited for gh's friend. after she came we walked to Bugis Village and met kuan, who took us to Red Bar.
i'm never gonna go there again. why? because the atmosphere was.... blah. it was NOISE, not MUSIC. you will NOT believe just how much screaming there was. by screaming i mean something like heavy metal sons, where there's usually screaming (like A7X. listen to one of the older A7X songs and you'll know what i mean). when we first went in this band was playing Secon Heartbeat by Avenged Sevenfold. i think this band or the next one spoiled the amp. so ppl had to go fix it. anyways it was just three or four metal bands, one after another, doing TONS of screaming. but the band that came before kuan played another two A7X songs: Chapter Four and Unholy Confessions. they were better than Second Heartbeat. other than that it was just EXTREMELY noisy. and above the stage there were lights, with this one white light that kept flashihng SUPER QUICKLY such that when you move, things look like they're fast-forwarded. not to mention, they make your eyes hurt.
anyway i cheered when BALQIOS came up, although not too loudly since i was STILL having a cough. they played The Great Escape first, followed by Face Down, then Your Guardian Angel and finally How Far We've Come, by Boys Like Girls, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, TRJA again and Matchbox Twenty, respectively. i loved The Great Escape and How Far We've Come best. they were great! actually kuan can sing pretty well. i mean, you know, it's not so bad. it was the first time i saw him perform and i thought it was good. he played at Northland once, you know. during last year's Alumni Night. BALQIOS has gone on to play more shows since then. which is great. personally i think BALQIOS was the "softest" band, since they didn't have a single heavy metal song in the line-up. maybe i'm terribly biased, but i liked BALQIOS best.
after that we had dinner at QQ Noodle and then we went to Bugis Street to buy some snacks. we then went back to kuan's house, with kuan. we also met the drummer. he was pretty nice. so after we alighted at AMK mrt station we rented some DVDs - Stomp The Yard and Step Up. we watched Stomp The Yard first. it's a gret movie. and the dance moves were GREAT. it's called stepping, and it's really pretty good.
after watching the show we went back home. kuan came with us since he's working today, at the clinic where my mum works too. so yeah. that's about it. :)

Like walking into a dream,
So unlike what you've seen
So unsure but it seems,
'Cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway
I see a distant light,
But girl this can't be right
Such a surreal place to see
so how did this come to be
Arrived too early
And when I think of all the places
I just don't belong
I've come to grips with life
And realize this is going too far
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
A place of hope and no pain,
Perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain,
'Cause we've been waiting for you
Fallen into this place,
Just giving you a small taste
Of your afterlife here so stay,
You'll be back here soon anyway
This peace on earth's not right
(with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time
(I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don't wanna stay,
I feel wrong and that's my sign
I've made up my mind
Gave me your hand but realize
I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave
And carry on my own life
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
and surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right
Loved ones back home all crying
'Cause they're already missing me
I pray by the grace of God
That there's somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I'll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)
[Solo]
I don't belong here,
We gotta move on dear
Escape from this afterlife
'Cause this time I'm right
To move on and on,
Far away from here
Got nothing against you
And surely I'll miss you
This place full of peace and light,
And I’d hope you might
Take me back inside
When the time is right
