It's been a while since I updated on what has been going on with me other than the other "poetic" blogs, rants and such like that. Well it is time to let you know the highlights.
About 3 weeks ago, I went to the Parkway Drive show with Lyds that organised by awesome ladies of Prettig Productions (you both and the crew were so awesome I just have to mention). Being such journalists that Lyds and I are, we had a short interview with Winston from Parkway Drive before the show. It was hella funny.
When Winston arrived, I was feeling tensed because I was worried if the Post Office was going to slam their door shut on me because it was almost their closing time as I needed to post and fax some school stuff to the States. But it all somehow drowned to the back of my head as soon as we introduced ourselves to Winston.
He was such a nice guy, he giggled and laughed a lot (even though things weren't funny). And after the interview, Lyds and I took a photo with Winston. So here's the photo of him and I, if you haven't seen it plastered on my photo albums yet.
This is NOT the first time I realise I am short, THANK YOU.
So let me do a little promo as you read this blog. Photos from the Parkway Drive show, including opening bands, will be featured on SHOUT!'s March issue. Look out for announcements.
Shahidah and Joanna, I promised you 5 photos from each band, I will give them to you LATEST end of this week. You are allowed to slaughter me if I don't. Heh.
The following week, I just spent my days at home because my ass and I decided to get infected from Winston's coughing. Apparently, I wasn't alone. Lyds was sick too. And the haze wasn't helping either. Yes fellow Singaporeans, if you didn't notice, there WAS a bloody haze. That week too, I went to Fadz's Studio to support my homeboys, Blindfold Hero. I was coughing and had cough mints in my mouth all the time. And I showed off my pink strap slippers for the first time that day. Talk about fashion trash.
Last week, was crazy. On Wednesday, I went to Blindfold Hero's recording session at TNT Studios, where they re-recorded their improvised song, Death Of A Rising Star. I like that track, so you should go check the song out on their MySpace: www.myspace.com/blindfoldhero. And because I am being a good manager and that they are my homeboys, I have their song up on my MySpace as well :)
On Friday, we had girls day out. It was actually just the four of us McGirls, but Lyn's sister joined, and then Carmen's sister joined. We watched stars MOVE. It was funny.
Failed attempt at camwhoring
Another thing that happened was Asilent's interview, on Saturday. Seeing how I haven't met ALL of them at once in a while, I thought the interview would be a good time to meet all of them. Yes, it was. Even their girlfriends Felicia, Ivah and Anna was there. It was so nice to see all of them again.
So we did the interview, had fits of giggles and destructive laughters, we took pictures. Here's a photo of my with my death metal homeboys. Finally.
I play back up tambourine for this death metal band :D
And comes to my story of what happened, yesterday. I took my TOEFL test. Google that shit if you don't know what it is. After you've done that (or if you don't have to), I am going to bring you to my news that some of you probably know already.
I am going to be pursuing a Bachelors Degree of Arts - Professional Photography at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, California. Californians, say "YEAH!" I am definitely excited for this coming journey. I will be breathing new air and will be going out of my comfort zone. Everything will be brand new. My birthday wish is coming true, a new life is within reach. All I hope for now is that I can get through it smoothly.
As much as I am excited, I am also scared and sad. Scared because I KNOW it is going to be hard being alone there, even though I have friends who live a few hours drive away and going to be making new friends who are a scream away. It's like being born again, except this time I will be growing and guiding myself instead of having someone hold my hand as I learn how to walk. I will be fine, I hope. Sad, because I will be leaving Singapore feeling empty, because I will be leaving everyone that became my everything. You people know who are.
The school is preparing my visa and such like that, and if everything goes well I will be leaving in mid April, this year. Yes, this year. Do pray for me that everything goes well, if not, amazing.
That's it for now, I'm gonna go back to the tons of work I have.
Till the next blog, be good.
