Muse aftermath

Muse opened with Knights of Cydonia, followed by Hysteria. YES! So very predictable. Hee hee. But so good. I was practically floating on cloud nine (until I watched Ethan's Hullabaloo DVD with their off-stage idiotic footage that killed all fantasies) throughout. On second thoughts, they were TOO good. No ripping off clothes, no spraying champagne at the audience, no smashing of instruments... Hmm. How come other concerts have these and we don't! Now I feel a bit deprived. Note to self: must go stalk their UK gigs when they're back from the world tour. Reading here I come!

Best song of the night has to be Plug In Baby. And I damn near cried when Invincible came on. My only regret? Not bringing the camera. My phone camera takes the lousiest shots. Nothing can be seen! NiamahaiKNNCCB! Thanks to Dee Dee, now I have at least some pictures to post. Also taken with someone's phone camera.

I so shouldn't have watched Hullabaloo's second DVD. Now I don't want Matt's baby anymore. Hahaha. But I guess what Si said is true, why would rebel teen wannabes idolise Muse if they were just "normal"? Nobody worships normalcy. Food for thought. But that DVD was done in 2001 when they're all just 22 or 23, and since then all of them have settled down considerably. No more crazy vids except on-stage madness!

They're still the best live rock act out there, no matter what. Matt's a talented devil bursting with inspiration and superb energy. And don't forget his magic fingers.

Their complete set list is here (with vids of every song on youtube!) ... *scream hysterically*

MUSE

Faraway... this ship is taking me far away...

Yes, little boys and girls, uncles and aunties... MUSE IS FINALLY HERE. And tonight I'll be throwing my knickers at Matt Bellamy. With phone number, vital stats and all. *ecstatic*

In my dreams, Matt told me they're gonna open with either Knights of Cydonia or Hysteria. We shall see.

I just hope nothing screws up the logistics on my side.

I can't sleep.

valentine

Since I'm blogging on this date at this hour, it's pretty safe to deduce that yes, I'm single, I'm dateless and the icing on the cake is... I'm sick. Not that I care much for not being able to go out today, I don't want to be sick when Chinese New Year comes! (note to self: must RESIST no matter how many mandarin oranges beg to be eaten) Think about the glorious food and cookies and chocolates! And the heat! Chinese New Year is always the hottest time of the year. And staying near the beach doesn't help it at all, nope. Every year, at my grandma's, I couldn't lift a hand to swat away a fly by 2pm, lying in a pool of my own sweat, hoping that glueing my back to the cold marble floor would cool my body somewhat but the heat always wins.

Anyway, Eryn is coming over later tonight after her karaoke session for a sleepover. And Jarod is coming over too after his singles party. I'll be having a man and a woman. In my bedroom. All's good.

And my hair's back to black again. I hope people would stop asking why. I joke and create nonsense reasons, but actually... it's for Nido. One month, dear brother. I can't keep on wearing black during Chinese New Year like I did for the past one month (my grandma would have a cardiac arrest if I dare be so inauspicious) but nobody can say black hair is not festive, right? I miss you, whatever region or country you're traveling right now.

I will be fine. The sun will still shine.
Just a little bit colder, that's all.
I grow a little bit older, that's all.

out of beta?

Blogger is now out of beta my ass. Out of service more like it. To me, at least. I couldn't log in for the past 2 weeks! Now that I can finally I don't know where to start already. Bummer. Sure incoherent disjointed entries all come out. But joy! My home modem is up and running again, after I discussed with my baby brother to replace the dratted unpredictable thing. And out of fear, she ran with such speed last night! My downloads were at 36kbs! No, seriously. It's usually at 5kbs tops.

Now you see the reason why I want to move out of the country.
