i had a wonderful weekend!!
went for singfest yesterday, leaving the house at 9ish in the morning to meet the others for brunch beforehand. the event itself was great, money well spent - i can say that. pity that singapore has no proper place for an outdoor concert, though. i mean fort canning is good for musical, theatre, dance etc but for some pop/rock kinda concert? errk, those buildings in between just make it too pack. nonetheless i enjoyed it so much. gotta give 2 acts a miss because i had to attend a friend's birthday party. oh well, not that i'm a great fans of those 2 performers anyways. back in time to catch rick astley and i'm happy. yupe, he is the main reason for me going to the event. yes he's old but i like his songs when i was in secondary school. its quite funny though to see only a handsfull of people know his songs. i'm darker for sure, but i'm happy! all i need now is to upload all the videos to flickr (if you know my yahoo id or my nick, what bk stands for, you should be able to view it as well) or maybe facebook for my sister, let her burn with envy haha.
during the break between acts, cin talked to me about what she came to her mind in the birthday venue. how few people there who used to be close friend are no longer *that* close, if not acting like a stranger to each other - some due to relationship problem (hence my believe in thinking twice about turning friendship to the next level) while others due to some expectation issue. how she realised that two of us were the only one who's still as close as we were the first time we joined the group.
it's true though; i learnt a lot lately mostly on not having any expectation on anyone, about trusting your friends and understanding each other more. yes we have disagreement, but we work things out and learnt from our mistakes and move on. in fact, it makes the friendship stronger as we know the other party better as a person - as a friend. i hope i will never have an estranged relationship with any friends of mine. if i make a mistake, i'd rather be told off so i know my wrongs instead of friend(s) holding grudges on me. friendship is something i treasure as much as i treasure my family. okay, no need to be mellow. next ....
and now being sleepy and all, i made a point to write down all my weekend expenses in between doing the analysis (my way to avoid getting headache seeing all those numbers) and oh yeah, i spent a bomb during the weekend. paying the singfest ticket, food, taxi and stuff; not to mention i just registered for a course that isn't that cheap as well. nope, NO REGRETS. just need to tighten my spending and cut down calling home ...
