Nitin Sawhney
so womad-ness was here..i was excited to experience cool world music, its atmosphere and especially the man, nitin sawhney
met mok and waited for a bloody hour for the gang at the entrance..there were loads of stalls ard selling accessories, clothes, food and more..me n gf got seperated from the rest after busy looking at some stuffs and later settled at a spot at the main stage area where afrocelts which made of world musicians (UK / Senegal / Ireland / India) were playing at tht time..people were seen tapping their legs, clapping and swaying to the sounds and eventually dance near the front stage..nitin sawhney was up next at 11..the brilliant musician from Britain played the good live sounds with his entourage of performers from his Beyond Skin, Prophesy and Human albums for abt an hr and later did 2 encores for the hyper and supportive crowds..it was simply madness although i wished he did his Nadia track to end it all..anyways sawhney will b spinning a 2hr set tomorrow at midnight so dont miss this one if u already did..womad will end this sunday 31st august 2003

Subbuteo
Subbuteo players
who can remember this fantastic table soccer game? i was clearing the stuffs in the store room when i found my old Subbuteo set..its rather popular with the boys back in the days and i remember laying out the the 1 metre pitch with the players, goal posts and line-flags and admiring it proudly..the bigger sets even come with a scoreboard, spectators and more! anyone still got them? i think its nice collecting the player set from different leagues and countries..any sources?
"..and its a goooaaaaalllllll.."
Rafi Blindfate & Philosofi
so moon is in full eclipse and mars is as big as my taik mata..jesus
anyways kind mr rafi and gang came to fetch with me with their bikes to pasir ris where we met mok and zul..lily, imran & freaky-z joined us later at pasir ris park..we totally forgot abt the whole mars thingy once we saw the playground..the guys were totally bonker over whats in store for them; the monkey bars, slides, disc-shaped mary-go-round and flying foxes..god i havent had tht kind of fun for quite sometime and it brought the every kid in me..we all ended up sweaty, bruised, sandy and dizzy and settled for chit-chats and card games
thnx to the people i had fun with..we should do this playground thing more often

the journey begins..
okok.. so i didnt shower.. i was in a rush.. screw that part.. fadz rode a scooter.. i've nvr riden a scooter b4.. so i was.. hmm.. how do i put it.. oh ok.. suck. big time.. my hair is big.. and the helmet is watever.. i look funny.. fadz went off at ard 7.. so i'm all alone at the carpark.. i didnt noe which way to go.. fadz told me to go straight and i'll see the expressway signboard.. ok..
*tret* *tret* *tret* << the sound of the engine.. yeahh.. it started out ok.. when.. *honk* *honk*.. i looked up.. it was a traffic jam.. people were honking their asses out.. the pile up was quite long.. the reason ? a red light lah.. jesuses crap.. whats wrong with you people sia..
ok.. so i went straight just like mr fadz had told me earlier.. on and on and on.. straight i went.. when suddenly.. i discovered that i was in.. yishun.. shit.. i was lost.. no expressway sign.. i was surrounded by trees and fog.. car fumes to be exact.. i stopped on the curb and called a fren.. he told me i made a wrong turn and to look for nanyang poly.. the road was straight sia.. aper yg wrong turn..
so off i went to nanyang poly.. i have no bloody idea where it is though.. so i just went straight again.. the occasional traffic light stops along the way.. i skipped a gear to neutral.. it made a loud noise but i didnt move an inch.. thanks.. a truck filled with banglas nearly knocked me down.. sibei kanchong eh kannina.. throughout the whole journey, i was nearly knocked down thrice.. but they managed to brake in time or sumthin like that.. yeah.. reckless driver i am..
anyways.. i reached nanyang poly and followed the sign to an expressway.. CTE ( PIE ).. sumthin like that.. so there i was.. my first time on the expressway with a scooter.. kewlness.. the expressway was boring really.. theres absolutely nuthin to talk abt.. so skip that..
reached pasir ris.. entered a street.. and.. just as the scooter passed a bustop.. it died.. literally.. it lost power and slowed down automatically.. so there i was.. weird hairdo person that has not showered wearing an egged shaped helmet trying to get a scooter movin.. it has no oil.. sigh.. i switched the thingy to reserve.. its an oil thingy btw.. it started.. hoorah.. thanks to all the people at the bustop who was cheering me on.. this one is for u..
so i made the last turn and there i was.. home.. i was relieved.. it was an experience.. really.. highlights of the day.. nearly got knocked down thrice, scooter died, got lost twice and popped the thing up 4 times.. whats popped ? popped is when an ass who has no idea how to ride a scooter rides one one day and does sumthin wrong sumwhere, resulting in a mini wheelie.. sumthin like that.. yeah..
this is like a freaking compo siol.. ok enough.. i better get goin.. fadz says i can use the bike for a while.. hmm.. i dunno.. if ur reading this fadz, the scooter's at home.. i came to sch by bus.. sumpah..

little red mars
got this pic of the planet mars taken from my window as soon i read abt mok's blog entry..there it is a pretty little thing so far yet so bright..for more info on this amazing sighting read on
"It's going to be a rare sight so remember - don't miss the opportunity
to view 2 moons in the sky -> 27 AUGUST 2003.
Never again in your lifetime will the Red Planet be so spectacular!
This month and next month the Earth is catching up with Mars,an
encounter that will culminate in the closest approach between the two
planets in recorded history. The next time Mars may come this close is
in 2287.
Due to the way Jupiter's gravity tugs on Mars and perturbs its
orbit,astronomers can only be certain that Mars has not come this close
to Earth in the last 5,000 years but it may be as long as 60,000 years.
The encounter will culminate on August 27th when Mars comes to within
34,649,589 miles and will be (next to the moon) the brightest object in
the night sky. It will attain a magnitude of -2.9 and will appear 25.11
arc seconds wide.
At a modest 75-power magnification Mars will look as large as the full
moon to the naked eye. Mars will be easy to spot. At the beginning of
August, Mars will rise in the east at 10p.m. and reach its azimuth at
about 3 a.m. By the end of August when the two planets are closest, Mars
will rise at nightfall and reach its highest point in the sky at 12:30
a.m. That's pretty convenient when it comes to seeing something that no
human has seen in recorded history. So mark your calendar at
the beginning of August to see Mars grows progressively brighter and
brighter throughout the month.
Share with friends, children and grandchildren and with everyone you
know, as no one alive today will ever see this again."
