Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there

If new year’s day is any indication of how the rest of the year would turn out, hopefully there’ll be plenty of happy times and happy minds in 2007.

At almost 3am, the bunch of us went into retreat at Fort Canning Park, some on a bench, some on the floor. Boon was Ai Xin DJ for the night, playing a carefully selected song for every one present. As a result, the music we got was something of a superbly diverse, random mix, covering different genres like metal, psychedelic folk rock (Grateful Dead), anti folk, dubstep, comedy (Borat), Asian psychedelia, etc etc.

After a not so close encounter with what we thought was the supernatural, we walked off in search for another conducive spot for slacking and listening to music in a group. We came to the new tunnel where the National Library used to be. I think that was my first time walking in a tunnel meant for vehicles. It made music sound very good!

Thereafter, we got hungry and headed towards Plaza Singapura for some Mac’s breakfast. Nowadays, Mac’s seems like the most appropriate and convenient solution for such sessions. Before we got our food though, we were distracted by aunties literally going nuts, scrambling about to beat the queue for some free canned abalone. It was the most hilarious thing i saw all day! (All week maybe)
