I have had some of you who told me personally that you want to read more of my blog, with what's happening with me because apparently I am sinking and disappearing in the sea of...well you want to know more of what's happening other than official news and rants. Well, to those of you who approached me, you made me feel special. Thank you for reading, and this paragraph makes me feel like I'm Britney Spears in demand or something HAHAHAHA. Fuck that shit, let's get down to the real business/play.
Last week, after crazy almost last minute news dropped like a bomb in Singapore that All American Rejects is coming down to Singapore for the Nokia 5800 Launch Party, Lyds liaised with Nokia for a spot in the media...room? Yeah well, that's what we got. We got invited to the Nokia 5800 Media Event where they introduced us to the phone and how much Nokia and Universal Music spent on that first ever Nokia touch screen phone and such like that.
Being Lyds and I, we were Lyds and I. Geddit? HAHA. Well, we're not clubbers, and the Media Event was at Velvet Underground and we were quite under-dressed because the people that were mainly present on that day were the industry people and Lyds was dressed in her black lace top and I was in...a Lamb Of God shirt. Also, being the Muslims that we are, it was hard picking drinks so we ended up with the punch and orange juice (which we wonder if they were spiked at all after the whole event because we didn't ask).
Nokia photographers were taking quite a lot of photos of us, probably because we're way too different from everyone, but it seems like the photos are nowhere to be found. But I found a photo of Lyds, Joakim (I think that's how you spell his name? He's a writer for Junk Magazine) and I picking drinks.
One by one the speakers from Nokia, Universal Music and another person come on stage to do some introduction and Q&A (I am a bad media person, I know. I don't remember names and it's bad), I did expect All American Rejects to be there. And yes, there were. Since we're dressed like we don't belong, they notice us. Only because they too, were dressed like they don't belong at that place.
I should've have taken proper photos of Tyson, because his SHOES were GLITTER and they were RED. Gotta love that guy for being such a hippie HAHA.
After that, we headed to the coffee shop nearby to have our lunch + dinner because the food they provided was not halal, even though they look good.
That's the hungry face right there
The drinks probably WERE spiked. Just look at her.
Small touchups after food before we head to interview the AAR boys
After our small dinner, we head back to Zouk (they're all the same place, as much as they say that they're next to each other. IT'S THE SAME DAMN PLACE LA CAN?) and made our way to the Zouk Members Area. While we were socializing, Nick and Chris of AAR walk by with smiles on their faces (okay, maybe just Nick). We returned the smile and Joakim(lets assume this is how we spell your name, k? K.) asked Nick which was the tattoo that he got from L.A Ink, and he flashed his calves without hesitant. It was a tattoo of his dog, it was cute.
Time flies and we got on to the interview with Singapore Polytechnic's writers. They're very young, excited and nice bunch of people. Would like to see them around more. So we went to the area where we were gonna interview them and then we were told to wait because the AAR boys had to eat, so we did (I can almost feel like this is the most boring blog ever).
We got Nick and Mike of AAR, and here is basically how the interview went. Lyds made a short clip of it:
We almost took photos with the AAR boys, but we got shoved off by the Universal Music people before we got our chance, even though Tyson did say he wants us to hang around. Uhm yeah Ty, maybe next time. Before we got shoved off, the boys posed.
Yeah no watermarks, thought you might want to feast on this.After that we went out of Zouk, with Nick and Chris behind us, and after seeing Lyn, Carmen and Paula who were in line for the party for a bit, we got shoved off by road security to go back to Zouk. I swear, we got shoved off too many times that day we're immuned to that shit. As we walked back to Zouk Tyson and Mike walked out to receive some screams from the line. Tyson was just as excited to see his fans as his fans were excited to see him. I heard him say loud and clear, "DUDE, LOOK AT THE LINE, IT GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE BACK! *points to the crowd*" Well Ty, it's Singapore and you're performing for free. The line could go all the way to cause a road block before you know it.
We went in first before the line got in, and waited for the girls to join us. I stood at the spot where I thought that I could take the best pictures from because the stage was too high up and didn't move a muscle, even when Lyds went to look for the girls.
After all the mini drama, it was PARTAY (and work, for my case).
I don't remember this. I think the punch WAS spiked
Buy the phone. It's mother cool.
On another note, I did and cut my hair. The person (I'm gonna call him hairstylist because he delivered only half the job), didn't cut my hair the way I want it to be, so I'm going to Lyn's hairdresser soon to get my hair cut again.
Right now it looks like this:
I should stop with these stupid faces, really.
It's 1 am, I'm coughing badly and I am off to sleep.
Till the next cough, be good.
<3
