This is as close to a modern day fairytale romance as it gets. Four years ago, Italian guy meets Singaporean girl in a virtual 3D world and was besotted with her avatar. Guy relentlessly pursued her but she was resistant to his charms. Girl finally found a side of him that makes her fall unwittingly in love. After months and months of knowing each other, girl takes the plunge and accepts a ticket from guy to visit him in Italy. Cartcart, the Italian guy and Rinaz the Singaporean girl are married on 18th of December 2008, exactly 4 years after they got married in the virtual world, Second Life. A marriage that transcends continents, distance, race & culture; the rest of the story of Rinaz and CartCart would be best read at her blog or at ST.

It reads "Krisandro & KKNN". WAHAHAHAAHA!!

I had the pleasure of being invited to this lovely Muslim wedding and it was my first Muslim wedding of a friend that I have ever attended. Rinaz is very active and well loved in the local social media scene and throngs of bloggers were seen at the wedding, furiously snapping away at the couple. I don’t know if it’s a normal thing but I had to actually queue up to give them my blessings and once again to take a picture with them.

Absolutely cute wedding cupcakes

Rinaz will soon move over to Italy and she will be sorely missed in Singapore but I’m happy, knowing that they will live very blissfully over there! And besides, we will always see them online.

I was pretty lucky to have been offered 2 tickets for free to Mayday’s (五月天） concert, held at the Singapore Indoor Stadium on the 26th April. It was a gift from my Uncle who is one of the senior directors at the Indoor Stadium. SHIOK RIGHT? JEALOUS ANOT???

.

On an unrelated note…

I brought up to Ruifang on Saturday that almost all the bloggers call their other half or their close friends by nicknames.

Sheylara calls him The Goonfather.

Rinaz calls him CartCart.

Peggy Chang calls him MiuMiu

Xiaxue calls her mum MoMo

So, from now onwards, Ruifang is known as KuKuNehNeh. (Don’t flame me. Half of it was her idea)

.

So, KuKuNehNeh and I were quite kiasu and we left Ang Mo Kio 2 hrs before the concert at 8pm. It was a wise choice in the end as the car park at the stadium was quickly filled up not long after we arrived at 6.30pm. Being the lazy asses that we are, we concluded that it was too far to join our friends for dinner at Leisure Park. What did we do to curb the hunger?

Eat BAO at 7-11 lor.

The both of us weren’t big time fans of Mayday and I only really listened to 2 old albums of theirs and KuKuNehNeh has only listened to ONE. Having such little love compared to the swarm of people flooding the stadium, we can’t help but snigger at the youngsters posing with their Mayday t-shirts and laugh at the crazy energy of the throngs of fans (*cough* Yiting *cough cough* Yanling *cough*) inside the stadium.

.

One such crazy fan was ‘sitting’ to the right of us. I wouldn’t say sitting actually, because she was standing up more than 3/4 of the time and blocking our view. She was shaking her booty, bouncing up and down, nodding her head with fury and playing with imaginary drums with her two blue light sticks.

.

At certain points in time, she really look like she was having spasms. Nearing the end of the concert, one of her light sticks flew out of her hand and into the sky, and landed right in front of us. Without breaking the beat of her spasm-y dance, she turned her head and looked at the group of us sheepishly. Realizing that her blue lightstick is gone, she promptly takes out another stick. EVEN MORE POWER ONE!!!

Bigger and in rainbow color!

.

The couple to my left laughed and said,

“Wah! Got spare!“

.

WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

The band really had a lot of energy and knows how to keep the crowd going and I really love the tone of 阿信’s voice. It’s a pity that me and KuKuNehNeh enjoyed their old hits so much more. Many of their new hits don’t have that kind of impact and identity that the old ones have. All the above reduced our enjoyment of the show.

All the above…. and that spasm-y woman.
