Anyone who still watch TV?
About couple of weeks back*not sure if they are still showing* i came across this advert with the top few contestants for Singapore Idols 2 doing this commercial with some "'making a wish'" theme or somewhat related to charity, kindess act. There was this really soothing song in the background, acoustic guitar, male singer and i just cant seem to place that song or the singer! Anyone who knows.. please please do tell me.
Mind just bothered with not-knowing the song. Boo.
Oh just in case you think i din even bother finding, I tried youtube, i tried google.

MC
Spot myself blogging on a Tuesday late morning.Took mc today as i woke up to a rather nasty sore throat, but seriously part of me thought i could do with the break, having not seen the doctor for over a year? Come 16th, i would have worked for half a year, my longest proper job with the previous lasting only 5 months. Kudos to my peers who have worked(stuck) on the same job for a year plus.
As i prepare to submit my FY06 progress report, review, i did a self-evaluation of my career (hmm, too strong a word to use?). So far, the first few months was indulged in courses, forums, buffets at hotels around singapore with all the newbies outside my dept. Now that most courses are completed and as i settled down in office, i find myself sometimes, isolated from the crowd. At yesterday's afternoon break, while i was sipping coffee with 2 others colleagues, we commented on how i was the latest addition of 'relatively fresh' graduate employed. Most of my colleagues worked for an average of 5 years or more ( although still at their first job), cant help but feel really young.
You dont share necessary the same topics, especially when most of them are married. You cant express what you feel about the latest primary school parents' involvement community program, nor can you lament on how competitive the balloting system for primary 1 enrolement has become. You have no problem with teaching children (because you have no children) the concept of money like why 50 cents is smaller than $1, when numerically 50 is greater than 1. Hmm... how did we past that?
Those who not married but in their late twenties, thirties however, share a different kind of interest, among which i think, shares prices, latest car model, condo investments, in the midst of pursuing their part-time Masters or PHDs. Sometimes, i wonder what they do in their free time? In case this starts to sound as tho i have something against people not-my-age, let me emphasize a firm "No". I am merely wondering how i will be like when i hit their time and how seriously, i can find myself blending in, when the topics, activities circumventing me are items like movies, blading, reading, planning travelling trips, ocassional pubbing sessions, meeting up with friends.
No, i have no financial planner (yes, i know!!!! i'm about to hit 25, premium is rising as we speak), the only thing i plan ahead is my weekend and what i intend to wear to work. Times like spot me thinking if i'm really the oddball when it comes to work, or have i simply left myself in school and never really exited my student' identity? Perhaps, back in their heads, they are also wondering how else to communicate to this othewise juvenile-like kiddo that's working in their midst.
Well, side track a lit, a group of us (yup, people around my age, single ladies) went kayaking for a voluntary activites organized by the company. Fun, tiring, and a feel-good warmth in me after the end of the event, forget the mud and dirt or how i was tanner than before. right, mental block... talk more again.

Highlight of the week: Private Affair with Rick Price@ DXO on 2Nov'06.
Yup. You got it, the man who brings you "Heaven Knows". Sadly, that's the only well-known song i know from him besides "You'll never be alone". I love "Heaven Knows". I cried to "Heaven Knows" and yes.... because of this one song, i attended his GIG at DXO. Here's some pics, compliments of Hooey.
Rick has aged.. obviously, however, he looks comfortable and suave with his Ronan- Keating hairdo which obviously aided in removing a few years off his age. Here's how i remember how he last look before the gig. Prob taken off his mtv 'Heaven knows'.
The food we ordered before Rick Price comes to stage. Quite a feast, considering we ordered EVERYTHING on the Snack Menu, except for the Pizza which according to the waitress, was not available that evening. Shucks. And we wolfed all down before Rick Price had a chance to comment on his gluttony audience. Oh, we sat right in front. Here's what we faced before he came onto stage.
The gluttony trio, guilty as charged. Thanks to murf who informed me of the gig. Sister and moi hungry for food and Mr Rick's Heaven knows- LIVE.
Drinks and retro floor before food.That Black patch (shadow) in the background is the stage of DXO. That's how close we were to Rick.
Anyway, here's a few of Rick Price shots which i took while he belted out those love-tunes. I've included a personal favourite of mine.
Rick Price and his bass-man. Going Acoustic and double bass in synchronized beats.
My personal favourite. Rick Price in black and white. I like this shot. Have a good mind to develop it along with some other black and white and showcase it at home.
Tad blurrish. His strumming faster than me snapping away. Hiaks. At the end of it all, i tot i could walk away with his autographed posters cos i saw some near the stage, but nah, he din throw any, so sad.. they're prob for the VIPs. Saw Maia Lee at DXO as well. Regretted not having anything for him to autograph on, thought of the coasters but they were a tad cheap-skate dont ya think?... So guess what?
I reckon this is about the closest i will get to MTV, to Hollywood! Hee...
P/S: i was there and i heard rowdy rude singaporeans who disrupt the evening with the incessant cheers, talking and laughing. Mr Price was totally annoyed and i can understand y... Moments like this when i'm disguisted and ashamed with our folks.

And this is how he looks like now... oh wait, let me just add in some irrelevant non-animate pictures to remind me how it was like.
