oh.. i forgot to blog about the after dessert event. hehe.

*~*

under the moonlight, we strolled along the pathway from max brenner's to the outdoor amphitheatre. i wasn't too keen on listening to the music at first. it was said to be a good mix of folk and jazz. i love jazz. really. i like the way it just gets you into this higher state of subconciously swaying of hips. but folk? nah, not my cuppa.

oh what the heck, we decided we needed to digest those 29012893572 calories we just put on after the chocolate fondue dessert we had.

we were late. the performance started at 8.45pm, and we had only finished our dessert at 9pm. as we drew closer to the amphitheatre, we could hear them playing. wow. the fusion mix was GREAT! no, actually, the way the music was mixed was damn fucking good!!

when we managed to grab a seat, they were playing some old chinese favourites. and can you believe this - this bunch of people were swaying from left to right to the beat of the music, something like what you might see in a F4 concert. it was so embarassing, i didn't know where to bury my face into. like HELLO what the fuck were these people doing? it's the esplanade, not the F4 concert!

now, question time... they played one of my favourite acoustic pieces. WHAT IS IT?

uh huh? aiyah give up lah, give up? hahaha. :P okok shan't keep you guys in suspense now. it's... jiu dian jia li fuo ni ya. oh right. don't understand mandarin? ok, how about california no hotel desu. don't understand japanese? okok, as you might have already guessed, it's hotel california by the eagles. :)

i know it's a satanic piece, but it really sounds lovely, you know. there's something about this piece and the esplanade. the last time i went to harry's bar with james, we heard the same song, only that it was played by this solo guy. it was damn fucking good too! aww man, just makes me wanna melt like the marshmallow that james tried to bbq over the tealight candle under the chocolate fondue dip. [did i mention that we had white, dark, and milk chocolate fondues??? wahahaha.]

well anyway, the 15-year-old cello guy did a great BLOWJOB. yeah it was fucking good. we all saw it. hey, what are you thinking? i meant the way he was playing his flute. yep, this fella could pluck the strings of the cello, and play the flute too. it was superb. if you heard it, you'd be so inclined to do a standing ovation!

singaporean musicians aren't that bad afterall eh? now you know where to head to when you've got nothing to do on a lonely night - FREE concerts by the river. cheers!
