Of Blastoff & Mis/Communication
Listening to: Like A Virgin - a horrendous rendition by someone trying out for American Idol
Currently Reading: The 13th Commandment - Jeffrey Archer
I’ve realised lately that communication is the key to a lot of things. Nothing can be accomplished by shouting matches and/or keeping grudges. Miscommunication can mess up a whole lot of things which partly explains why we met so many rude people on a particular trip to Genting (ahem Mr. Bus Driver and fellow casino goers). Tell me what can you accomplish by yelling? Even in a traffic jam, countless Malaysian drivers are fond of leaning on their horns. WHY? How does honking help the situation? Does it mysteriously alert the invisible traffic police? (invisible because none of them, at least visibly, seem to show up eventually)
I know this entry may seem oddly overdue but something needed to be said about mis/communication.
Moving on, Blastoff 3 Stage 4 was really cool. However when you find yourself standing at the back of the crowd and all you can see are the shiny ornaments on the stage and none of the musicians themselves, you find yourself wishing for an extra foot of height. A downside to being a foot or two shorter than the rest of the audience also meant that I got rancid sniffs of an armpit or five everytime it was pumped in the air in celebration of a good performance - or as I soon found out - pretty much anything; good vocals, or good bass playing, good comments from the judges, nice hats…Don’t get me wrong I am all for being hyped up during a good show but PLEASE deodorise!
Forgive me if it seemed that I did not have a good time, I did actually, have
a wonderful time despite the ant view and non-deodorisers. I had a great view of the backstage musicians and they were totally more interesting backstage than they were onstage. And of course, I could hear everything that went on which is the whole point anyway =) But most of all I was there with friends - which makes everything a lot more worthwhile 
And I think my t-shirt made it on TV =D
So there you go. And the male host (I forget his name) is SO short in person.
=)
Good luck to Shimano (esp Andrew) & Aunty Mable’s…
& Ghetto Republic & Full Throttle…
& Tricky Tongue, I like the curly haired (non Joshua looking) dude ;P
Pics will be up soon; pls pray for my PC - it’s acting up.
20 days to go…mwah!!
Thaipusam valthugal to everyone celebrating it today…adios.
