5 weeks of freedom!! ♥
To answer Michael's question as to where I have been, I can now declare I'm finally done with the very first semester of university life! I'm done with my dreaded exams! 5 whole weeks of total freedom! Woots!
Pschology's 100 freaking MCQs and 5 short ans questions deep-fried my brains on my very first exam day. Next was Sociology's 3 essays which caused every nerve in my poor right hand to die as well. And today is both the English and Southeast Asia papers, and I'm a freeeeee girrrrllll!!!! There's an extensive to-do list of how I wanna spend my holidays and so my dearest friends, you guys are gonna be so busy for the next 5 weeks. Wahahahha!
Then again, I'm resuming tuition for Trevor and his sis. Lol. Anyways, Trevor got back his PSLE results and he's happy with them so I'm happy for him too. He can go to SOTA and play his violin! Wheee! I feel accomplished =))
Anyways, even though I was supposed to prepare for exams, I spent much time working at concerts too =X Couldn't help myself. It's such a pity that Kylie Minogue's concert is on the same day as my first paper so I couldn't work. I saw much of her news over the past couple of days reporting of her fans' aniticipation and excitement, which only served to rub it in my open bleeding wounds. Nonetheless, I had my fair share of good concerts before that.

First of all was Rihanna's concert! Hmm...in an objective critique of the show, the mega star who was fashionably late would have started off with a big bang if not for a minor glitch - her stupid mic didn't work. So her near full-house stadium full of fans didn't get to hear her sing in the first song. Instead, we got to see her get real pissed, stomping to the side and scolding the production crew and of course, the tactless camera people captured all the glory for the fans to see. They could have focused on the backup singers, the super duper awesome bassist and guitarists or even the damn pretty strobe lights, but no, they preferred a shot of Rihanna dissing her crew. Anyways, I guess I'll be damn pissed if a million bucks is spent on such nice stageworks, strobe lights and lasers, and yet not get a good sound system. The show was a super short one too. I had to leave the place after 45 mins when Take a Bow came on and the next thing I know, Umbrella was on, and I know that it was the last song. I was so sad I had to leave after 45 mins and then it was the last song already 0_o
Nonetheless, the hour-long show was still pretty awesome. The entire setup of the stage and damn nice expensive lightings was totally her style in my opinion, and the ambience gets you super high. Old caucasian uncles with pot bellies were dirty dancing at the balcony, and of course, I was nice enough not to laugh. I wanna dance to her music too! I love the fact that they made an effort to rearrange the music such that it's something new and not taken directly off the album. Although she didn't do alot of singing, her presence and her showing her attitude while singing was just enough to get through the concert. She's 20 and she's having a bloody world tour! And she's soooo hot, enough to make up for the absence of Chris Brown.
Next was KPop Nite. I had expected it to be boring for me since I have little interest in Korean Pop. Honestly, the Korean girls mostly look all the same to me...maybe they went to the same plastic surgeon. (I don't know why I'm in such a critical mood today, so fans of whoever, please don't get offended.) Anyway, they're all hot so it's good for eye candy. Found out at SEA class that Johari was there too, rooting for Wondergirls. They're this popular girl band who's supposedly very hot. Well, their performance was quite nice that night... And then this band caught my attention. I heard they're one of those popular ones people are supporting that night and when I first saw them, I thought they just look gay. And 2PM started singing and dancing...
Seriously, they can sing and dance, unlike a certain *cough*KOne*cough* (Jy's gonna scream at me).

Just watch this and imagine it live!
They have nice voices and awesome dance moves! Every member has got talent and they're not just a pretty face, and I like the way they make good use of their large numbers by coming up with great cheoreography. And the best thing was, the ushers were supposed to walk pass the artistes' rooms that night to go back to our room, and 2PM was standing just outside their rooms and begin bowing and thanking us in Korean as we passed. Zomg....
Finally was Disney Live: 3 Classic Fairy Tales....I watched the show thrice! I also did premiere ushering for the first time of my life. I became more of a child-booster-seat-delivery-woman and was kept so busy the entire time, I could hardly watch the show that day...but I think I enjoyed my job that day, and felt very much accomplished. As for the show, it's a children's show so there wasn't real singing. The stage props were very nice though, the way they made the backdrop and stairs move around and manipulate a small stage to become different settings. Much thought was put in as well to mask the stage when Cinderella changed her gown and when the Beast become a prince. I thought the use of the veil to create a misty atmosphere and the way the lights were made blinding when shone on the veil was very smart. I was also made to hold the door for the 3 princesses and Mickey one evening, and Belle is so polite and really princess-y, and Mickey is just plain cute and friendly. =))
I'm too lazy to type anymore. I wrote 3 freaking essays on Southeast Asia today, so I have no more energy... A bientot!
