Crazy over Fs...

Fantastic Franz Ferdinand! *lmao* I haven't written an entry for a few days now. I'd love to begin with the Franz Ferdinand concert on Thursday. It's absolutely marvelous!! Before I went to the concert on Thursday evening, I never had thought that it'll be a marvelous experience. This will really be one of the highlights of 2006. Franz Ferdinand has always been one of my favourite bands, and being able to catch them live in Singapore is really an unbelievable experience. I remember that the first time I get to know them was through a newspaper review on their first album. When I saw the band's name, my first reaction was "Oh my gawd! What the heck are they thinking?!" Franz Ferdinand is the name of the Austria-Hungary Archduke whose assasination triggered the World War I. I learnt about him through History *lmao* And so, Nathania and I went to the concert together. Since we had no time to eat dinner, Nat went to buy McDonalds for us to take to the stadium. We joined Alim and her sister, who was already in the queue. Nat and I only managed to eat the burger inside that stadium *lmao* It's a very weird experience. So many people bought the Free Standing tickets. Before the concert started at 8.30 pm, I thought that I was going to suffer a stampede, because the young Ang Mohs and some International School students kept pushing from the back. I couldn't help it, but I pushed some back with my back *lmao* I just really feel like smacking them in the head. The crowd was also rather chaotic in the first few songs in the concert. Some people were still trying to jostle to the front. At least, since they jostled, I managed to get nearer to the stage *lmao* While jumping along to the songs throughout the concert, I can't help but feel molested in a funny way *lmao* I kept rubbing my butt against someone at my back *lmao* I wonder what if I fart in any point of the show *lmao* Anyway, midway through the concert, Alex, the vocalist, announced that the fans were invited to "food party" in the Intercontinental Hotel after the show. We had absolutely no idea what his motive was for telling us that. I only knew his real intention through today's Life newspaper. It's kinda hilarious. He was trying to get back to a senior assistant in the Hotel who told him off the previous while he was eating some food he bought from a hawker centre across the hotel in the lobby *lol* And so, after the concert, Nat and I went to Intercontinental Hotel. Oh my, I absolutely have no regrets over that decision. I managed to get the autographs of Alex and Paul (the drummer) and took a really close up picture of Alex *rofl* He looks funny there. He is smiling, and his eyes kinda disappeared. So happy!! ^-^ I also bought a red-black Franz Ferdinand striped t-shirt at the concert venue. It's very strikingly similar to the t-shirts the band wore in the "Do You Want To?" video. Lucky, lucky you're so lucky!

One picture for you to see :) If you want to see the rest, you can tell me through my msn :)

I took a number of photos and videos the night. Aboute 100 in total. Only about 6 to 7 photos turn out really sharp. Anyway, I'm really happy with that number. Getting one really nice concert shot from Free Standing position already meant a lot to me :) So getting a few is really a blast. Oh ya, guess what, the guys look more handsome in person than in TVs *lmao*

Let's move on to the other days. I went to watch Walk The Line with Jessica Lo on Wednesday. I still like it. Now I really want the Walk The Line soundtrack *lmao* Then I can listen to Joaquin's voice over and over again before I sleep every night *lmao*

Today's Fun-O-Rama was great! My food stall managed to finish selling the burgers and steamed corn! Yayyyy *shrieks* I really do my class' hamburger is really really really nice (no sense of propaganda here, by the way). However, I think that the game stall did so-so. Anyway, I think that, though our class is small, we've achieved a lot of things. I really love some of my classmates. Well, about 4 or 5 to be more exact :) Anyway, some of my friends and I went to the Haunted House on the theme of Chinese Opera. I was kinda scared, but my American Idol friend, Joscelyn, suggested that we sang some songs in the Haunted House. So, we decided to sing "All By Myself"! *lmao* It's sooo funny. Actually, I kinda scared of the staircases more than the ghosts. Especially the descending part. I scared I rolled down the lecture-theatre-turned-to-haunted-house hahhahahahaah.

Our burger stall :) (look at the hanging hamburger, happy soda and steamed corn! made by savitha! [it's someone's alias lahh])


I really hope that the Oasis concert next Thursday will be great as well. I'll be going with my Brother and one of his female friends I think. She happened to be one of the Indonesians whom I stumbled across in DeviantArt *lmao* I didn't know that she's my brother's real life friend until last week. After all the experience during the Franz Ferdinand concert, I guess I'm more prepared for Oasis concert. I better start memorising some of their songs, since some of their songs are not as fast as Franz Ferdinand's. I better buy the merchandise stuff before I get into the concert venue. There's actually one Franz Ferdinand Tour T-shirt which I really like, and I saw it before the concert. Sadly, it sold out after the concert. Better luck next time then.

I'm off to get a good night sleep (and hopefully a dream of Joaquin!) Anyway, tata!

Cheers, Olivia
