Yooo......*arms wide open*

2nd day of my leave, still can't really settle in to the fact tt i'm gonna get my pink i/c back soon. Good is the fact that i'm leaving the shithole. Bad is also the fact that i'm leaving the shithole. After all shithole has provided me with food, lodging and income. And also the fact tt i dun need to think for myself at all while in there. Quite a braindead job, and as long as u do the right thing, nothing is gonna happen to u. Somewhat.

Anyways, went out with Joel again, this time we went to catch the Singapore Film Festival. Watched some short animation clips at this obscure place named Gothte Institute (i think i got it wrong but wotever), near Somerset. -Edit- It's Goethe, pointed out by Celena. Thanks. -End- Some of the them are quite good, in terms of content and the direction. But some of them, i dun really quite catch wot they were trying to say, esp those filmed with real pple. Sorry hor, but i'm the average kopitiam guy. U can't fault me for that. Overall it's still a good experience. Hope i can draw some ideas from there.

Rest of the evening was spent shopping around with Joel, and doing that "yooo..*arms wide open*" thingy in the streets. Yea some stupid stuff tt appeared in one of the films, corny but damn funny. Clay Men, they have a way to make u laugh big time. So this is kinda like Private Joke No. 2, with No.1 being the classic "Du...duhh...doo.....DO U DO ANAL!??!". Always something amusing coming out from this chap.

Something that i've realised today: If u noticed hard enough...ok actually u dun, u just need to be bothered to look ard... u can see that there are alot of graphic stickers pasted all over Orchard. The traffic lights and the button, the PUB box, street lamps, behind busstop ads, everywhere. Joel says it's like the calling cards of the artist, u noe like graffiti, just that these pple do designing and use stickers instead. Joel used to do that too, pasting his funky TV head-robot all over the place. Interesting underground culture going on, or maybe it's just that i'm the uninformed. Take a good look around. U'll be surprised how talented these artists are.

One thing tho: There's too many of them. Pasting over each other. Like killing each other.

Sorted out some issues with Kai over the band. Seems like we've come to a common understanding. But still i'm still undecided over the issue of staying in hall. It will be a good experience, at the expense of my band tho. Sometimes i wonder if the band has taken over my life, just like basketball used to. This break will give me enough to think over my life's priorities.

To Kai: Yea gigging will be the minimum goal. If we can really bring this further than gigging then it will be perfect. But i'm not pushing for it yet. Settle the band first, then nail the sound, nail the music, then we'll nail the gigs.
