Sara Bareilles in Singapore

The concert was amazing! Another best day of my life just that this time, I get to spent it with Yeetheng who came all the way from KL.

The 1st 100 who buys the album in the venue gets the poster, which Sara will be autographing at the end of the show. We didnt only get Sara's but the band member's too! ( Too bad Javier wasnt there that time) Photos and a bit of a chat.

Esplanade Concert Hall

Cant believe when we went in and reach our seats.
It was soooo near the stage.
Like so crystal clear.

Sara is lovely, she's the girl with attitude.
The whole concert has this fans-Sara- band interaction and it was fun , really fun.
Sometimes, she jokes around, we love her.


Yeap, nice close up :)
Her dress was striking and I'm glad she wore this that day.


Lights


Everything was perfect.
The experience of going to her live concert is truly different.
Yes, her studio versions are good but going to a live is superb.



The Band!
Joshua, Daniel ,Philip.


Sara autographing Yeetheng's poster.


and mine.


Well, during the autograph session, I think I just embarassed myself in front of Sara.

Me- Hi Sara!!!
SB- Hello! *shakes hand* What's your name?
Me- Michelle...
Me- We're from Brunei!
SB- Ahhhh, that's nice!
Me- Do you know where is it?
SB- No I dont :)
( The whole talking process, Sara was trying to autograph my poster)
* Trying to take my phone and show Brunei's map to Sara, however I was too nervous and I cant press the buttons on my phone*
*Sara's done with my poster, hands it over to me*
SB- There you go!
Me- Thank you!!

....................... So in the middle part, I look like I just ignored her after she said she dont know where Brunei is. I look retarded. The others probably think I'm such a bad ass. Hahhhhhh


Oh well, Jump start my Kaleidoscope Heart!!

For my friend.

I never mention this before but today, I am going to write a post for someone special.


I met this friend of mine in CCMS kindergarten. I cant really remember what happened back then but I do know she was in the dance group with me. We had this ' I lost my Turkey' dance where she's all dressed as a red Turkey and the others as little farmers. You can tell her personality being the main dancer.


We grew up and here we are in our primary school, still in the same class since 'kindy'. At my 7? year old birthday party, she got the attention of everyone after dancing like a superstar. I remember the times I played with her at her grandparent's old coffeeshop ( used to be located where the new mee stall is at now) My dad would send me over to the coffeeshop, or sometimes, I'll eat my breakfast with my dad and his friends there , later joining her. It was a small and lovely coffeeshop, her room is just situated at the back.


It's probably once a week, I'll drop by. You'll wonder what we played with. We stayed in the room playing her toys and after that for lunch, she'll go to her grandma and grab a nice five dollar for both of us. Then off we go to Jolibee for lunch. I always like spaghetti and her, the chicken and gravy.


We'll walked around the Seria town shops where the adventure starts. We go into every shops browsing at stuffs. There's used to be a comic rental shop at the 2nd floor of the block (near this workshop looking store and where the back entrance of Milimewah is) We went to the store and started reading the comics for about an hour, and after we're done, the lady demand us to pay $1. We didnt know we have to pay ( come on, we're still like 9 year old kids back then) We got scared and the lady had no choice to to let us go. We never went back. Phobia.

Our usual routine includes going to this tailor shop called Jesselyn Tailor IF i'm not mistaken ( used to be located at the now Fratini at Seria ) It's now situated the shops row near to the police station. It was an old fashioned tailor shop, with the owner, an uncle and 3-4 lady working. We would go in and play hide and seek. Usually hiding under the sewing machine table or the changing room

. The people there didnt scold us once, I wonder why. Sometimes, we'll just pick up the bits of unwanted cloth and started playing with them. Occasionally, the uncle will give us a list of drinks (soybean and barley) and paus they want , and two of us will walk back to the coffeeshop then back to deliver the order. Kinda cute huh? After that, I realized the tailor shop belong to my mum's distance relative, after he saw me and my mum walking around down.

Where else did we go.... Ahh, cyber cafe? I played counter strike once.


Then, the coffee shop moved to the now then block. She was sharing her room with her grandparents. Same thing, I still go there often. We still spent hours in her room , playing Barbie dolls and her grandma will just sleep at her bed. We still roam around the shops , still eat Jolibee for lunch.

Then , she got her own room. That was probably when she's about 14-15? I cant remember and that's the time I didnt go to her place as much as I used to. But well, we still danced together in our secondary school years. All those moments during out dancing practice, where we will slack and got all nervous when Mdm Chan comes and check on us. I remember ' Guang Liang's Tong Hua' was hers and Jo's favourite. They were playing it non stop that time.


I stayed over at her place once, that was during the BSP dance for Sultan's birthday, where we have to arrive at KB padang at 4am the next day for make up and hairdo. Dance events at Bandar, for the Sultan, (which is really for His Majesty) , the one in KB hall, KB and Seria padangs....


This friend of mine got sick for 7 years. She changed, from a cheerful and active girl to a complicated and quiet girl. Life changed. Things changed for her. It was alright at first, but the change became more and more after secondary school.


I dont know if that's the reason we are not that closed like we used to be, but It doesnt matter now. She left suddenly , 2 weeks after a coma. No one got a chance. No one. And the last thing she said to me was she's coming to SG and she wanted me to accomapany her to get a camera. Back then, I was so busy I dont have the time to accompany her.


The last time she came, we had hours of fun at Party world singing our lungs out, and a great dinner with her mum and aunt. I told her we'll get Haagen Daz the next time she comes.


It's never gonna the same again. You look back at photos and videos, and you'll realize one person is missing. All you can do is regret not spending more time together.


It's still hard for everyone, It's still to me. Someone I/ we know for more than 15 years... gone without telling us, and I dont even get the last chance to see her. Occasionally, she comes to my dream , and it breaks my heart.




Now I get the chance to talk about something about her, I think I will feel better eventhough I'm all teary eyed now. We miss you, always :')

Music ETC.

It's been so long since I last update my blog. I can't even remember my password when I sign in to this blog... Finally decided to return to blogging when I was eating my prata this morning thinking '' Hmm , I should blog'' I guess I'll try to update at least once a week on the weekends.



Anyway, this post will be about music/concerts.


Taylor Swift's concert is one of the biggest happening this year. I'm so glad I'm in SG ! (probably one of things to be glad about)

It was Chinese New Year and I returned to SG on a Sunday night, I had the whole 'house' alone since my relatives are still in Brunei . The next day at 4am, I went to the airport just to try my luck to meet Taylor and her band.


It was not crazily crowded as its early in the morning, secondary school kids will have to go to classes, poly students like me get to have one week holiday before internship starts. Lucky me.


Taylor arrived at about 6.30am. I was too flabbergasted to shout and I stayed quiet and 'unmoved' for the whole scene. She was just a metres away from me! I didnt get any autographs from her but after she went off, Grant and Caitlin stayed back to take pictures with the fans. How nice of them :)


Lucky dude


Caitlin and Grant :D


Autographs and guitar pick given by Grant.




I regret not bringing my guitar to the airport.
Taylor would have saw that and sign my guitar.
