Dear Sis,
I wish you all the very best - Happy Birthday to you!!!!
With many happy returns of the day! May all your dreams, hopes

Candy –Orang-Utang
Candy –Orang-Utang/ The Rock Comes Back -Pink Elephant PE 22.769X (1973 BE)
This is where I lose any lingering credibility I may have still had...
It looks like Candy were a Belgian aggregation (group would be too sane), and Orang-Utang is well...BLOODY SUPERB, makes Jungle Jim sound like Joy Division. The manic drumming, Farfisa organ and insanely infectious tune put this one right up with the best Monkey songs around...it nestles perfectly next to Douglas (Monkey Song) in any case...
Just download this and play it loud and proud...No shame or guilt, just surrender to its power. The B side is "good" too!
Thanks to J.K for this one

Hans Van Hemert –Because Of The Cats
Hans Van Hemert –Because Of The Cats/ You Got To Sing Tonight –Philips 6012 324 (1973 NL)
Hans Von Hemert’s name appears as producer on many choice Dutch Glam era singles including Dump’s incredible Annabelle (or Annabella). He also had quite a few releases under his own name and was pretty popular at the time.
Because Of The Cats is the title song to what appears to be a Dutch Giallo/Slasher movie -Niet Voor De Poesen : A series of rapes are commited by a gang of "untouchable" rich kids. The gang doesn't need to steal as they are all rich. Instead, they hold sadistic quasi-satanic rituals, wreck the houses of other rich people, and rape women. The boys call themselves "The Ravens"; the girls call themselves the "She-Cats." Egged on by the "She-Cats," the boys' activities escalate until they commit a murder...
Musically Because Of The Cats is nailed down by a thumping beat, sports a catchy tune with subtle orchestration and features some choice use of phasing half the way through. A very cool single indeed!

DSDS :)
Fady was the best on Saturday. And I am not saying it because I think that he is hot (he is ....). I loved his interpratation of Rick Astley's "Never gonna give you up" . It was gorgeous, it was different- it was brilliant. His second song of the eve was "All by myself " (Eric Carmen). Simply perfect. I love his voice- it is so much different! I have heard the others' kind of voices for a hundred times, while Fady's voice is- from my point of view- totally unique.
Miley Cyrus Topless Photos: Nude Magazine Cover Pictures?
Is there really going to be a topless photo of Miley Cyrus now unveiled? There are now reports that the star of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus, will be set for a nude cover shot for a magazine. Miley is only fifteen years old and the cover shot that is going all over the World Wide Web keeps all of her private parts covered and it could easily be a hoax.
The photo that is circulating shows the singer and actress on what would appear to be a grab from a high definition television in freeze frame from a promo spot. It could easily be a hoax and the photo might be doctored but it shows the a photo of Miley and she appears to have nothing on at all. On the bottom of the photo a logo says "ET Monday" and the cover is supposedly from Vanity Fair.
When you visit the ET Online and Vanity Fair websites there is no mention of the photo shoot or the cover shot that is floating around the web. If it is real it will spark massive controversy. It will be easy for many to believe because of the many racy photos that have leaked of Miley Cyrus of late. She has had several pictures posted of her online and they have ranged from lesbian like kissing photos to pictures of Miley in her underwear.
The latest snaps showed Miley pulling away her top to flash her bra and show her rolling around and canoodling with a guy that looks quite a bit older than her with both snuggling together. If this latest Miley Cyrus photo is real, Hollywire has it here) it will bring in everyone to comment. But keep in mind, this could easily be a hoax.

weekend aliens- photo by J here, de-faced by me
For various reasons, it was much harder to empty my mind of work this weekend. The thoughts lingered and
So if, like me, you too need a powerful dose of distraction to empty and clear the mind before the start of a new week, I would recommend:
(1) A swim in a public pool, where the colliding bodies of old men/women doing the backstroke in circles and the schools of children at stage-1 buoyancy, will certainly chase out all other voices in your head. But there is something else very therapeutic, even hypnotic, about doing front-crawl/freestyle laps. The need to focus on each stroke and stretch, the thrill of overcoming resistance and those dancing lines of light on the tiled bottom of the pool, that play of light, medium and motion.
(2) A visit to the newly-opened Peranakan Museum by the Asian Civilisations Museum. . The materiality of the Peranakan culture makes it a perfect for a museum presentation, where there is little need for complex digital devices. Instead, the object that exists in time and space alone - its beauty, its physical witness - suffices.
birds and the bees on a Peranakan table cloth
The Peranakan Museum is the old Tao Nan School on Armenian Street off Stamford Rd, located right beside the Substation and across from the Singapore Management University. Take the train to Dhoby Gaut or City Hall. It's a 5-10minute walk from either station.

flowers' city
bubble city - image by J
There is nothing correct - politically speaking - about Saint Jack, the 1979 film by Peter Bogdanovich based on Paul Theroux's novel of the same name.
A Chinese shopkeeper repeatedly refers to the American pimp Jack Flowers (Peter Gazzara) as ang moh, and eventually gets chided by the deadpan Jack "hey, you don't want me to call you chink" (or something like that). The British colonial castoffs in Singapore get drunk, prance around in their undies, mumble some cynicism and sleep with the prostitutes Flowers pimps. The Americans are horny Michael Fays off to Vietnam or men in cowboy hats and big cars. And of course, our favourite Asian men are either loutish gangsters with no style even when they swear, a dwarf, grouchy suspicious old men in a shophouse (or behind the bar counter), or a pimply teenage male prostitute along Tanglin Road. The first Indian woman the camera has any interest in is a Ceylonese "black" beauty who later unravels her sari and becomes Flowers' bedmate. And there are plenty of Chinese tarts with hearts - for Jack the saint, of course - even his Ah Mah loves Jack enough to nag him to eat everytime she appears - "if don't eat you will die."
But despite or maybe because of all this, the film is not dishonest about its essentially white/caucasian, male view of this island in the 70s. And while the writer/director may intend for the island to be the other character in the film (in a pointed scene, Jack Flowers tells a British visitor the Sang Nila Utama story - and how he named the island Lion City after seeing Tigers - yeah), the truth is that this island, its people and its context, is but a backdrop for what is essentially a story about an American middle-aged drifter in the tropics who is both trapped and redeemed by his romance of being an American middle-aged drifter in the tropics.
The title "Saint" and his surname Flowers is therefore both innocence and crude irony - all the "de-flowered" women and boys. When the island gangsters capture and tatoo cheap insults all over both his arms, he goes and tatoos flowers over them. Hearing one of his prostitutes lament about her boyfriend, he promptly removes his watch and gives it to her for her to appease her man. But he is, after all, her pimp. Paid handsomely to take photographs of an American senator in a tryst with a male prostitute, he in his final "redemptive" act, decides to destroy the photographs (and in doing, destroys his lucrative business contract providing "R&R" to visiting GIs) - but we also see him walking back into the squalid streets of this island to pimp some more.
image by J
Even if you live on this island and watch only action/thrillers/horror flicks, Saint Jack will be enjoyable simply for the scenes of the old Seletar airport, Bugis when hawkers would walk by and place dildos for sale on the table (or so the film portrays) and prostitutes (transverstite?) would sport big white afro wigs a la a Wong Kar Wai character, the relatively unchanged Raffles Hotel, a Shangri La hotel that is seemingly set in the wild... bum boats carrying goods in the Singapore River and a grotty Clarke Quay before it was disneyfied for tourists and yuppies. Heck, so what if all this only perpetuates the idea of the seedily "exotic" East and our own sad, distorted nostalgia!
It's a surprisingly watchable film and Ben Gazzara's portrayal of Jack Flowers so effective attracts and repels.
========
p/s Saint Jack is available on DVD at HMV or your regular video store.

Miley Cyrus Caught in PG-Rated Scandal
She didn't shave her head or wander topless through the desert, searching for aliens, but teen idol Miley Cyrus is in one dilly of a pickle over the release of some racy photos.
Well, they're not exactly "racy" so much as "not even remotely racy, even if you're Amish."
The photos, which were posted on gossip blog JustJared.com, feature the 15-year-old Hannah Montana star showing off her stomach and - gasp - a fifth of her bra! No wonder everyone's all up in arms. Young girls might see that and want to buy their own bras! Won't someone think of the children?
Cyrus was previously in the hot seat earlier this year for posing in a T-shirt and underwear and also in late 2007 when photos were revealed of the young starlet and her friend sharing a piece of licorice at a sleepover. That's not a euphemism; it really was just a photo of them sharing a piece of licorice. Next stop: cocaine and hookers.

Starbuck –Heart Throb
Starbuck –Heart Throb/ Ricochet –Bradleys BRAD 7411 (1974 UK)
The ongoing Brian Engel/ Martin Briley saga continues…Yes, it’s ye old Mandrake Paddle Steamer, Prowler, Liverpool Echo, Shambles guys with the follow up to Do You Like Boys. It’s pretty different from the previous Starbuck release as it leaves the camp element behind, but the 2 sides are veritable corkers. Both songs were written by Howard/Blaikley with Heart Throb being a glammed up 50s / 60s recreation with an incredible production –progressive Doo-Wop anyone?
Ricochet is more like Chicory Tip updating The Merseybeat sound but with more oomph. Fantastic stuff!
This just in...Thanks to Brian, Martin and Mark J. for the added info
From Brian:
“Well, actually, there WAS a band and we DID do a few gigs. It actually was planned as a real entity. It was absolutely outrageously stupid but I remember loving it because it was so unutterably silly.”
“We were all pounced up with the most hermaphrodite look that our girlfriends could devise and it really appealed to my sense of the bizarre to be gyrating around, looking like Lynsey De Paul singing simple pure Billy Fury songs like Half Way To Paradise.”
“Briley and I actually did a short tour of Germany with another bloke called Barry Blue. We were halfway through the tour and wondering why Germans seemed so keen on giving blokes flowers when it dawned on us that we had been booked into a series of Gay Bars.”
Martin: “I seem to remember as a four piece we were booked to play a gig at some skinhead club in Chatham, the crowd looked SO dangerous we had to decide whether to slip out the back, OR go the other direction and just totally camp it up. We chose the latter. I could never work out how we managed to get away with that, maybe they felt too sorry for us to get violent.”

Letters From The Front...
So here I am in Hamburg...
Spent the day checking out the record scene, and I've had a pretty productive day.
Many of the shops I had on my list are now closed, but the remaining stores well made up for it so far. The first shops I visited were Zardoz, Slam and Rekord in Schulterblatt. I picked up 4-5 singles there, but following a short taxi ride I landed at Plattenrille which you can find at the end of an alley at 29 Grindelhof. The shop itself is pretty big with an OK collection of singles and a huge amount of LPs, but after talking to Paul who's been running the shop for donkey years, I was invited into the backroom which is in fact more like a warehouse! There must have been over 50.000 singles there, all meticulously alphabetisized. The only shop I know where Cardinal Point have their own section for chrissake!
Needless to say, after a good 4 hours going through the boxes, I found 50 singles of note, which come to think of it is the same number I usually find at the Utrecht fair in 2 days!
Here are some of the finds of the trip so far, most in pic sleeves:
Muff: Sexy Sexy Lady -Ger Pic sleeve
Missing Link -Friday On My Mind
Alvin's Heart Beats -Chilly Willy -nice German Pic Sleeve
Teenager -Baby Hold On (related to Dutch band Bloom)
Walkers -I do The Show For You (The Danish ones, not the Dutch)
Geoff Appleby -Make Me Take Me -UK Demo
Extra copies of both Buzz singles (Geoff Appleby/ "Mutt" Lange)
Revolver -But How I Love It (a spare of this fine single)
Burnt Out Stars -In Vain
Nicky Bulldog -Bulldog (Dog Power Song) -heard a snippet of this -sounds pretty wild, most likely an Italian job...
Radiator -Isn't It Strange -UK Demo
Sting -Blazing Inferno -A second single by the band who recorded the Bubbleglam classic Thief Of Baghdad
Paul Ryder And Time Machine -Are You Ready (Great German Pic sleeve)
Funny Dog -One, Two, Three (fun bubblegum tune)
Capital City Rockets -Little Bit Of Fun/ Breakfast in Bed (Jaimie Lyons from The Music Explosion!)
K.K Black -California Sun (produced by Robert Johnson, the guy looks very familiar to me, who is he?
Teddy Lane -Do The Rock 'N' Roll
The Sorrows -C'Mon Everybody. This looks like the same Sorrows. Not sure if Whitcher/ Lomas are involved, but it's produced by Eddie Seago and John Rossall and it's from 1977!!!!
Rats -Turtle Dove -lovely bright yellow German pic sleeve with band photo
Phoenix -Black Is Black (looks like their second single, also produced by Adrian Baker)
Barry Ryan -Do That -UK Dawn
Shepstone and Dibbens -Shady Lady -god they look dodgy on the cover of this German single...
Brandy Balloon -Tambourine -Sonet -also Shepstone and Dibbens
SkinFlick-Do You Want To Touch Me -UK Demo -god knows, this might be a horrinble disco version...
Disco Kid -Roller Coaster -Ger RAK
Heart -Lovemaker -Great full colour German Pic sleeve for this Dutch Glam cruncher
And much more, plus a couple of Elton Motello singles and a bundle of spares...
Paul is a very cool guy who knows his stuff inside out. They don't list their stock on the website, but I left quite a few singles, so if you need 10 Elton Motello singles or that elusive Cardinal Point track, you know where to go. They do mail order.

SOTA student recital - phone camera pic
When you've been buried in your work for a while, take a step back.
It's simple enough. Everyone knows.
Step1 back
This afternoon, I took some time off work to be at the School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA) and caught 15mins of a short recital session by a few of their young music students. Watching the 13 and 14 year olds take their art seriously and interacting with teachers who, I think, are not only developing their students' skills, but in performing alongside their students, demonstrating the values of the arts - I came away hopeful about this island.
The value of an arts education is not a career in the "creative industries" or even being a "well-rounded" individual. It's a whole bunch of other stuff - discipline and persistence, confidence, openness to new ideas and (contrary to all the stereotypes of self-centred artists), respecting others, whether the artist for your audience, or the audience for the artist.
Q&A after keronchong for pak bakar at sinema - phone camera pic
Step 2 Back
The SIFF this year did not yield any real gems for J and I. But last Sunday, after watching this film, its simple lyricism was refreshing - as was a short chat we had with a friend on the grounds of "old school" about films and what seems, to me, possibilities.
When you've been buried in your work for a while, take a step back. Even if that step brings you to places where it's, arguably, still about your work. It's simple enough. Everyone knows. The need to see alternatives, sense possibilities, realise that there's still space - around, ahead - behind.

Michael Elo –Wizzy Lizzy
Michael Elo –That’s My Bag/ Wizzy Lizzy –Philips 6012 364 (1973 NL)
Frizzy Micky sings Wizzy Lizzy! Michael was a Danish citizen who had quite a few releases including a solo album with the self-effacing title "Me" in ‘71. This single was recorded in The Netherlands under the supervision of producer Hans Van Hemert (Because The Cats coming soon…) and it’s a nifty Hard Rockin’ Glam crossover. The lyrics allude to that great Danish obsession with broomsticks and the like, but there’s no foul, only fair to be found here…Perhaps not a great Dane, but a man of definite merit based on this B side in any case.

Megan Fox hotly tipped to top sexy list
Transformers star Megan Fox is hotly tipped to top the FHM 100 Sexiest Women In The World 2008 poll.
Bookmakers were forced to close betting on the foxy young actress after a flurry of bets were placed, hinting that her current poll position has been leaked.
Helen Jacob, entertainment manager at Sky Bet said: "The American actress was not even in the running a couple of weeks ago but now our lucky punters who have backed her are set to win a fortune if she lifts the crown!"
Now Megan, 21, looks set to knock favourites Cheryl Cole and last year's winner Jessica Alba off the top spot when the winner is announced on April 24.
Scarlett Johansson topped the list in 2006, having only entered the top 100 for the first time the year before, straight in at number nine.
Angelina Jolie was No 1 in 2005 but had fallen to eighth place last year.

Helen Jacob, entertainment manager at Sky Bet said: "The American actress was not even in the running a couple of weeks ago but now our lucky punters who have backed her are set to win a fortune if she lifts the crown!"
Now Megan, 21, looks set to knock favourites Cheryl Cole and last year's winner Jessica Alba off the top spot when the winner is announced on April 24.
Scarlett Johansson topped the list in 2006, having only entered the top 100 for the first time the year before, straight in at number nine.

Paris Apologises for Kim Kardashian Butt joke
PARIS HILTON has apologised to former pal KIM KARDASHIAN after poking fun at the reality TV star's famous bottom live on air.
In a recent radio interview, Hilton insisted she'd never swap butts with the voluptuous former Playboy pin-up, likening Kardashian's best asset to "cottage cheese inside a big trash bag," and adding, "It's gross".
When Hilton's namesake blogger Perez Hilton got hold of the transcript from the radio interview and posted it on his website on Monday (14Apr08), the socialite was horrified and has since apologised to Kardashian.
She tells In Touch magazine, "I was just joking around and I made a stupid joke. I felt really bad afterward, so I contacted Kim and apologised. It was a silly thing to say. Kim's hot!"
Kardashian has confirmed Hilton called to apologise, adding, "Paris and I have been friends since we were kids, and I'm glad she made the effort to say she's sorry."

Hero –Love Gone Bad
Hero –Love Gone Bad/Nothing Comes Easy –Private Stock PVT 102 (1977 UK)
Anyone for Downer Glam syndrome? Go on pop a couple of ‘ludes and get into this baby.
I’m not one for growers as life's too short, but this is really something special. It’s pretty indescribable, but I somehow think of Cheap Trick in Dream Police/Voices mode, but persevering with their Lennon obsession with a handful of horse tranquilizers and cheap synths. It sounds like they were even going for a Reggae type beat, but thank god they completely failed in that department. The arrangement and structure are really strange to say the least, just you wait until that thumping middle eight kicks in. Anyhow, this is quite an incredible production, just give it a chance to seep into your (un)consciousness.
In order to get you all hooked, when you click on the title you will get the FULL version of Love Gone Bad
Thanks for the turn on Bob!
Hamburg Record Shops
Hi
I'm off to Hamburg for a few days. Can anyone recommend any record shops? Most listings on the web are done by "dance" music types, but what I want are places where I can find my dodgy 70s singles!
Thanks

It was so difficult to understand!
more towards the Physics side.
&i didnt do physics in sec 3/4.
&probably,
next week's Chemistry. :x
& i heard that the maths programming thingy wasnt that easy too.
Omg, all modules are getting tougher each week :(
RAHHHHHHHH.
so anyway,
was doing some disussion about IGs during the worksheet discussion.
hahahhaha.
& i got bullied by two BAHBOONS luh.
keep disturbing me leh.
cannot let me off.

Megan Fox gets topless
The Oscar-winning screenwriter has reportedly penned a movie about a possessed cheerleader who murders her male classmates.
That sounds cool enough and, as fans of Juno, we’d likely line up to see the film when it hits theaters in 2009 no matter what. But after producer Jason Reitman went on The Howard Stern Show this week? We’ve never been more excited about a movie.
That’s because, according to Reel Movie News, star Megan Fox gets topless in a scene. Granted, Reitman added that Fox’s hair covers most of her breasts, and that she’s wearing a skirt.
Still, though: Megan Fox? Remotely naked? Sign us up.

To the people, whom it may concern.
I was pissed and angry yesterday.
In case you all didnt know, because
of a deficiency in the amount of brain cells,
No IQ/EQ or for whatsoever reason.
I Was angry.
However, if you were dumb enough to think that i was angry with Justin or Shu,
Wake up your idea, cos they weren't the ones who caused my anger.
I don't see why you all have to constantly bug/question people close to me about
MY PERSONAL LIFE.
afterall it is My personal life, note the word MY and not Your.
Its not as if i've not explained before.
and i shall say it once more.
THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BETWEEN ME&
ANYONE/SOMEONE/YOUR IMAGINARY FRIEND.
so stop trying to find out anything from anyone.
anyone which includes people like Shu, Jessalyn, Glenys and Justin.
BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO FIND OUT ABOUT.
unless you want to find out the difference between being KPO and BEING CONCERN,
i can give you some insights on that.
I've explained to Wayne before,
and hopefully clarified it with him.
So i don't see a need as to why you people should know.
In fact,
if you do want to know,
then come ask me straight.
but my answer will be the same.
which means there is no need for you to go around probing.
Im SICK & TIRED of people asking me the same qns over&over agn.
"do you have smth going on with .....",
"you sure or not.....",
"then why..... how come...."
"you should stop....."
YOU SEE HOW IRRITATING THIS IS?
if there is smth going on,
I'll SAY SO.
but sadly, there isn't.
for each guy i bring,
you all start to suspect,
start to probe.
probably because you all think we're too close.
Like hello,
you mean i can't have a close guy friend?
must its always have to be a close girl friend kind of thing.
Majority of you all, if not, All of you ,
Graduated from a mixed school.
So how hard is it to understand that our relationship is nothing,
but as realationship based purely on FRIENDS?
there is too, a difference between FLIRTING& being CLOSE.
so don't judge me on that.
afterall,
How can you all say you know me,
if you don't trust my explaination,
and yet try to dig out a NON-EXISTING EXPLANATION from some other people.
FACE THE FACT,
that i have guy friends.
Despite being educated in an all-girls secondary school,
I make guys friends too.
& the possibility of me bringing a guy,
is much higher of that,as to bringing a girl.
YOU PEOPLE ARE NOT IN PRIMARY SCHOOL.
its only in primary school,
whereby seeing a guy&girl being close,
you'll go, " ORH HOR, YOU ALL TOGETHER AH"
you shuld be glad that i wasn't a lesbian.
However, if i was,
i'll most probably get turn off by you too.
come on lah,
GET A LIFE.
you should be old enough to understand,
and i don't need to explain this further.
I know that you people have been dicussing about this.
but sorry to break your fun and give you my answer ,
before you've even tried to be you own Private Investigator.
I HAVE NOTHING GOING ON WITH ANYONE.
i'm single now, because i still have some things, i've yet to sort out and forget.
and i'm not going to explain it in details, because I NO LONGER TRUST YOU ALL.
as far as im concern, and as far as i would let you all know,
Just stop your questionings, i'll only say when im in a relationship, only when im in it.
So stop wasting your time while waiting for your school to begin or whatsoever.
go do more useful stuff like finding yourselves your own relationships to bother about.
I don't wish to see judgements& changes in your attitudes& biasness.
neither do i wish to hear some rumours/questions about my personal life.
pretending that i don't know about the questioning going on,
that not give you an opportunity to probe further.
so just stop all your nonsense, and continue with your lives.
&on my side, i'll clarify with the people whom i think should know.
Finally, your ignorance is my bliss,
and i appreciate it if you would just keep your hands off my life,
if i see no right for you to to bother.
ITS NOT AS IF WE'RE CLOSE OR SOMETHING.
cos please understand that we're not, or at least, NOT ANYMORE.
because, trust is that easy to break.

Eddie Kidd –Leave It To The Kid
Eddie Kidd –Leave It To The Kid/Big Jump At Picket’s Lock –Decca FR 13795 (1978 UK)
Leave It To The Kid is a bone-crunching-13-double-decker-hopping-semi -smash-stomper by the UK’s own Evel Knievel: Eddie Kidd. Of the Decca singles I have, this is by far the greatest as it’s a truly rousing performance featuring Eddie’s unmistakable vocal range along with a great driving string section. The track was even a "Tony Blackburn Record of the Week", and that man certainly knew his stuff! Eddie retired from stunts a while ago, but I am proud to acknowledge his legendary status here and now, if only for this amazing release.
Click below for a soundclip of Leave It To The Kid
You can also catch Eddie performing the track on Peter Cook’s Revolver here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCjgEj2iJZg

Lindsay Lohan Will Go Nude In Upcoming Film
Lindsay Lohan is planning to appear naked in an indie film for a mere £40,000 (roughly $78,944) in an effort to prove that she is a serious actress and in hopes that her melons will revive her flailing career.
We all remember the box-office gold that was I Know Who Killed Me, so we can only presume that Florence, where she has reportedly agreed to “full frontal” nudity in her role as a nymphomaniac waitress, will be just as successful.
Lindsay doesn’t care she’s getting paid peanuts. She wants to remind people she can act and that she is worth hiring. She is fully aware of the potential of her body. Lindsay wants to build up an image as a mature, responsible actress.
LL needs a wake up call! Going nude does not establish you as a serious actress. Who ever’s feeding her that bs needs to stop! Wait, what am I saying? Linds has probably waiting for this moment to get naked AND get paid since “Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen.”

Today's module was the comtemporary cultural aesthetics thingy.
& actually, i kind of liked it.
Because it was about conflicts!
& i could apply my social studies skills to it(:
The conflict between Protestants&catholics in northern ireland.
hahahahah.
we cannot expect to have no conflicts in this world.
Anyway, I got an A for my science module(:
DOUBLE YAY(:
hahahaha, i think it was maybe because of my RJ(:
hmmm,
but im not going to expect much frm the maths&enterprise modules.
cos the mathematical programming whatever shit thing,
had like nothing much to present about.
& the enterprise Faci was damn irritating.
she had like never ending questions to ask.
Okay,
back to today.
Went to the library after school with Shu.
Met Drexler, & his 2 friends came too.
Finished all my work.
including the RJ which i did TWICE.
(the 1st time, after writing like more than 7 paragraphs,
i accidentally pressed sth, and it was all gone, so i had to retype all agn:( )
Oh&halfway, shuen pangseh-ed.
ASS LAH.
So completed all my work,
and helped Wilson do his Peak Quiz too.
27pgsX10 qns OKAY!
then after tt,
they went to play pool @ the cafe.
Sat down there and waited for them to finish playing.
when we were abt to leave,
we tried the piano.
ahahahhaha.
So took bus to the interchange.
Then walked home will wilson.
& halfway through, i saw a rat.
& though he managed to chase it away,
i still didnt dare to walk. EEEE! :X
Reached home at arnd 9 plus.
I'm thinking of taking up 2 IGs if possible.
and maybe Tennis! lols.
EVERYBODY! JOIN TENNIS!
YAY.

ooooohhhh, today's blog views!
Views from the US too(:
Country Uniques
SINGAPORE 95.7%
UNITED STATES 4.3%
So anyway,
today's module was rather easy.
& seriously, nothing much to present about.
Its like making some instructions in a map,
for a person to exit a particular route.
like, turn left and then right after approaching the red house, etc etc etc.
Skipped break 1 as usual.
&had PLENTY of time for break 2.
Met up with Shu, Sean & Drexler.
Shu left after awhile,
Leaving me with Sean&Drexler.
Had lunch& waited for BK to come.
But after BK came,
said hi to him & then we left back to our classes.
hahahhaa.
anw, today was just super slack.
The Presentations were short, and we ended 1/2 hr earlier today.
went to find Shu, but she was still in class.
So went to the Cafe to meet Drexler to transfer songs to him.
ANW, SORRY BK FOR NOT MEETING YOU TO DO RJ TGT!!
Yongji&the rest came to find me.
Supposed to sit GL's car today,
cos he had his driving license alr.
i asked Shu along too(:
& woah,
the top levels of the carparks are smokey.
People were smoking there.
So waited for them for a little while.
Drove to Bukit timah to have chicken rice& all.
&left at 7 plus.
oh, we needed to pee halfway,
and we went to SP just to pee.
like how dumb!?!
but no choice what.
so we travelled around trying to look for shu's Mrt station.
after alighting her, they sent me home.
and reached back after 9.
So the total car journey for 2 places was like 2 hrs.
Touring around Singapore.
From one end to the other, to the other.
LOL.
Though Singapore's small,
The roads are confusing okay!
Okay,
so my new maid's here alr.
YAY, at last.
after how many weeks of not having a maid.
Anyway,
im still thinking of whether to accept the job.
its supposed to be a long-term job.
haiya, but how to manage my time?
the thought of receiving pay seems way too tempting.
BUT ARGHHH.
Views from the US too(:
Country Uniques
SINGAPORE 95.7%
UNITED STATES 4.3%
So anyway,
today's module was rather easy.
& seriously, nothing much to present about.
Its like making some instructions in a map,
for a person to exit a particular route.
like, turn left and then right after approaching the red house, etc etc etc.
Skipped break 1 as usual.
&had PLENTY of time for break 2.
Met up with Shu, Sean & Drexler.
Shu left after awhile,
Leaving me with Sean&Drexler.
Had lunch& waited for BK to come.
But after BK came,
said hi to him & then we left back to our classes.
hahahhaa.
anw, today was just super slack.
The Presentations were short, and we ended 1/2 hr earlier today.

Return from Utrecht...again!
Every time I come back from the fair, the same clichés come to mind:...The sheer size of it is just plain nuts (500+ dealers) and it really pisses all over what passes for major "International" fairs here in London.
The aches and pains of crouching, stretching and walking up and down the isles in a crazed daze looking through the Zillions of singles, in the hope of finding that special classic that makes the trip worthwhile, is madness...BUT yes, I found some great and sometimes surprising stuff, but also some hilarious disasters!
The whole trip didn't start too well as I had to make changes to my original plans and went to Brussels the day before for work commitments, and in the confusion I forgot my 3 day passes in London! But what could have been an issue was swiftly sorted out with great friendliness by the organisers and I didn't have to go through with plan C, which involved hanging on to the under-carriage of dealer's van to gain entry...(In fact there was a plan B as well). So by 9 am on Friday, I was in...
And the result? Well, I came back with over 50 singles, including one absolute Corker from someone who was a household name in the UK in the 70s...I'll keep schtum about it until I review it (hopefully on Monday), in the meantime I'll just divulge that it involves motorbikes...
Here are some of the other ones:
Black Fire -Come On And Do It (RCA Ger 1975). This is in fact the Dutch Black Fire, they renamed the song and gave the new sleeve a certain Pantherman feel to it. Click on the link above to go to the original review and soundclip.
Mustang -Wild Mustang (-Good Teens soundalike on blue vinyl)
Pagliaro -Lovin' You Ain't Easy (in a rather fetching French Pic. sleeve)
Kraaijeveld -Yes Tonight Josephine
Stamford Bride -Rise Sally Rise
Baby Face -Watch Your Step
A collection of BubbleGlam singles with a...er... "European feel": 2 by Jackpot including Is Everybody Happy (Incredibly dodgy, but with stomping sounds that are the closest to crunching goosesteps yet -they're German after all), Crackerjack -Tambourine (also German), Cissy by Yellow Cat (Dutch but sound German!)
Holy Mackerel -Rock'A'Bye (Barry Blue/Green)
Carnaby Street Runners (Kasenetz/ Katz, similar in concept to Mike Berry's Biggles single)
Fogg -Dancin' To The Music (Ger pic sleeve)
Duck Deluxe -I Fought The Law (RCA Demo)
Blackfoot Sue (German single with Glittery Obituary on the B side)
Smoke-Shagalagalu (yes, it's BubbleGlam folks...)
Starbuck - Heart Throb -Bradleys (A great single)
Wild Angels -Jo Jo Ann (from Out At Last)
Wild Angels -Sally Ann (NOT from Out At Last!)
Time Machine -Turn Back Time (French Psych with pipes from the Andes!!! -on Rubble volume something or the other)
Merlin-Wild Cat (Nice German pic sleeve)
Catapult (UK issue on Bradleys!)
Park Lane -The Party (Produced by Pete Koelewijn, the A side rocks and it has a different version of The Rockets' Rock 'n Rioll Drummer Part 2 on the B side
Dump -Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow
The Dogs -I've Been Down Down Down (a 68' call to rarms transplanted to 1974)
Hans Van Hemert -Because of The Cats -(a cracking Glam single)
TimeBox -Baked Jam Roll In Your Eye (lovely mint UK copy of this nutty masterpiece)
Bang -Questions (German pic sleeve of a Blue Cheer -like/ Teen hard rock band)
The Boer Four -The Boers Have Got My Daddy on Surf City Recordings!!!????
Magnet -Something To Remember me By (Ex Downliner Sect in semi-Glam crunchin mode)
Giggles -Just Another Saturday Night (Great German pic sleeve on this one)
Zips -You're So Good To Me (Yum Yum). This is in fact Pip Whitcher and Roger Lomas (The Sorrows, The Eggy, Renegade). As Zips, they also released Bye Bye Love (with a great B side) on RAK in the UK, but I didn't know about this one, which comes in a gear German pic sleeve. Musically, it's a stange mix of Adrian Baker Beach Boys fixation and Lomas/ Whitcher Heavyness with Glam seasonings.
I'll be reviewing some of these over the next few weeks, let me know if you have any particular request...
