A week back, I saw that bloggers like Ah Wei and Miss Loi recieved calls from omy.sg, telling them of their placement as a finalist in the S’pore Blog Awards. At the back of my mind, I was hoping that they will call me soon but…

DUNCH HAVE LEH!!!

Days passed and Monday came but still no call. So it wasn’t any surprise when I went to the site to only find that I was not a finalist in the ‘Most Entertaining Blog‘ category.

I know some will think that I am a pompous fellow and say,

“You think you blog very well meh?”

.

I actually thought that I was deserving to be at least in the top 10 to garner some votes. Note ‘THOUGHT’ is in PAST TENSE. After spending some time thinking about it, I think every blog that omy has chosen should be deserving to be in the finalist. Blogs are like books or movies. Taste in them will vary from person to person and I guess the panel at omy didn’t think too much of mine.

Oh well, I shall move on…

… and conveniently remove the omy Banner from my sidebar.

WAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHA!!

.

Do vote for Sheylara and Rinaz in the category! I think they are deserving!!!

[Note: Everyone please help me fill in the Nuffnang poll on the right side so that I can understand you guys better!]

I’ve been wanting to design and print a blogger namecard ever since I saw a whole SLEW of bloggers start to print their namecards like Claudia, Nadnut, Jayden and Rinaz who got their lovely cards printed at Tommy Print.

So, after so long, I decided to run through some ideas through my head and this is my namecard!

*drumroll*

TADA!!!

The only problem is that it is not PRINTED yet and I have a few blogger events to go to! And I think this design is only done over a couple of hours and I need more time to refine it. So no choice lar. Have to settle with this…

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.
