X Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin'
but i just felt the groove. i felt as if i own that stage. a tremendously fucking good feeling. i danced and shaked my bootie (knowing that i dont have one); i did it anyway. it was an unexpected change of plans -- that new year celebration would be this way. none of us expected that either.
the clique settled dinner at new york new york pretty early say, 5.30 in the afternoon? fucking ulcers was a sign for me not to consume 'heaty' yummy food, totally not fair. dinner was mediaocre; the ambience was great though. i had my laughs and mocking at tan yihong was at its best but i guess now since he became so cool, its payback time. pretty miserable. ):
we scurried our way to Esplanade via the underpass. as usual, Esplanade is always crowded when there are events like 'International Fireworks Festival' or 'National Day'. as long there are fireworks, Esplanade is always packed like sardines. people from all over singapore would flock like birds and settle their butts or
chop a place for their friends and relatives at the main arena. at 8pm i swear, Esplanade is already jam-packed.
apparently i got a little pissed with aveline because she keeps on urging me to settle my butt into the crowd when i cant even get in. but then since i was pretty happy, those stupid thoughts just vanished subsequently. so while we were all waiting for almost nothing, i decided to set my eyes across the river. feeling the serenity of the river , a still calmness set in me. i closed my eyes slightly, trying to capture the breeze when im actually competing with 10,000 or more people.
the first three preludes hit ultimate lameness. eventually, ACS were on the verge of being turned off. however, the live bands decided to set it all straight and give us a little boogie woogie and pretty good music. i like! especially when JustB, one of the superband finalists started off with their acapella songs, i melted like mozerella cheese on hot pipping pizza. they did an another acapella on this song
Quando, total hotness.
anyway, sam and i decided to check out DXO to see if the queue is long. and we left aveline waiting for the fireworks. when we reached DXO, we realised that we were unable to make it back due to the barriers unless we do a detour which is going to be really tedious, furthermore we were on our heels.
feeling apologetic, sam and i rung aveline telling her the situation. understanding ave told us to go ahead and enjoy the club, which i think we did. by the way, ave left for her class chalet before witnessing one of the most beautiful fireworks ive ever witnessed in my life. aw, pity.
DXO wasnt much pretty. the crowd was high, the alcohol wasnt that fantastic. but heck, we both partied hard and danced like crazy women (okay, maybe thats just me) to sum it up, it wasnt overrated neither is it underrated. sam would return DXO for the comfy chairs, thats all. she wasnt impressed with the semi-techno music neither was i. but we paid 20$ for it so why not make use of almost everything? haha! oh! almost forgot, i bumped into 1 of the ex yuying students lorraine and lini, my classmate. such coincidence! ha! bet they have their piece of fun too.
ps: trying to communicate each other on the phone was a chore that moment. traffic was crazy. i thought i could be the first to wish my family happy new year. but thank goodness i did it the 'advanced' way.
cab fare was fucked up. the both of us went to thomson for yummy prata. and my freaking breakfast costs nearly 6$. the cheese and mushroom prata for 3.50$ and my 2 glasses of
milo dinosaur and
teh terik.
chatted a bit with sam about our 18 years of life, about our future -- just the 2 of us. a little boring but we tried our best to entertain each other, and i had fun. did you?
happy new year, motherfuckers!
