E-motional breakages

Short one coming up. Last night before I slept, I thought I'd change my new strings onto my then 5-stringed electric guitar, Emma, since her E (first) string was broken... It broke when I tried to tune it after it was quite newly installed, since newly installed strings often go off tune very quickly. That was barely a week into putting that new string on, after the old one snapped. So it took me long enough to get some strings that I'd like to try on, a new brand, from the same ol' shop that's always close. So I got it. So I put on the string and before it was even close to being tuned to it's supposed frequency, snap goes my new string. There ya go, 3 E-strings, only one that was properly used before it broke, Whee.

Instead, I changed my Acoustic strings instead, it's long overdue anyway, whee.

MTV Worldstage..

..was AWESOME!

Yeap, I was there with Shim and Dorin. One of those times when I felt the impact and importance of height (or the lack of it) very profoundly.

The event is covered here, with a near-complete set list, with exception to Raygun's set list.

"As night started to fall, UK rock band Raygun took to the stage and kept the energy moving with a rousing performance of their debut single “Just Because.” They enthralled the audience with a four-song repertoire showcasing the unique vocal styling and glam rock moves of lead singer, Ray Gun."

Full-stop. 3 lines of beating-around-the-bush vagueness. Poor guys, they were actually quite good >_<

This event also marks an the first time our 'uni gang' members got to go to a concert together, which never happened in our previous 3 years of uni-hood. Last but not least, it was Tajang's birthday, which we celebrated (with epic fail-hood) the day before in the uni cafeteria, which also marked Tse Yuen's successful conversion from a Masters to a PhD project, congratooolations.

Moose MUSE

I'm stuck in the lab for super long hours these days, monitoring a boiling procedure. I'm stealing a break now and while I'm at it, lemme share some super sexy MUSE live performances that I feel are Awooooooooooogah! Did I mention I think the videos are super sexy? Did I? Did I?

"And I'm feeling good...."


"Supermassive ass Blackhole..."


"You could be my unintended, choice to live my life extended..."


Okay, back to work

= (

Quicky

Funny stuff:

=D Mario!

And not so funny stuff:

Caught Tajang drawing this on 'paint' on my com when I was working in the lab, no doubt intended as a tiled wallpaper after that. Intercepted, thwarted and posted. Thanks for the tip on the dessert place though =p Kick ass chocolate fondle fondue. Right then, back to work!

".. wonderful tonight"

Because Shim and Dorin, my girls, are just so wonderful. Haha. I worked late in the lab as usual, expecting them to be the 'dinner-nearby' bunch again, till they sneakily surprised Jin Seon and I. They shopped for stuff in the noon before their lectures and even stocked a bottle of red wine. And then Dorin prepared all the food at night before they sneakily walked to campus (she told me dinner at about 8.30 pm, sneaky girls, pouncing on me like that) carrying that food-filled black paper bag. If that ain't enough, they made me wait outside the staff lounge while they set up inside, cozy lil candle light dinner. That's about when Jin Seon came to join =D Then we checked out the menu: Baked lamb, mashed potatoes, boiled and buttered broccoli and carrot + A bottle of yellow tail red, Cabernet Sauvignon, didn't catch the year, was too happy for details =p

2 pieces of lamb, plenty of vegetables, large splats of mashed potato and a bottle of wine later, we were all happy and full. Packed up, stoned a lil while I reminisced all that lil magic. Then I sent them home, and home I was.. home I am =)

"Its time to go home now
And Ive got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight"

Love you girls =p
