where thoughts materialise.

So we're into the sixth version of my blog after the last version hung around for a year or so.

Now, a bit of info on this image. This photo was taken one lovely spring afternoon, featuring the iconic Old Well from the UNC Chapel Hill campus. I would like to think of this image as a tribute to my time in UNC Chapel Hill, the awesome friends I made and the memories I now hold dear.

A milestone in my life indeed.

I've dropped the tagboard cos its useless and taking eons to load. But thanks to Angela who helped me set it up, I still do like and will miss the pink interface.

So yeah, it's the sixth one you fellas!

Yours.

With a name like Rachael Yamagata, cultural stereotypes quickly fall into place. Some Japanese singer? But with an English name? She's good. Surprizingly, it wasn't Worn Me Down that got me grooving to her raspy voice, but some random song I downloaded off one of the OC Mixes. Her surname is as Japanese as she gets, she's totally American - speaks like one, looks like one. And I'm glad I managed to get tickets, which I last heard was selling out fast.

With a name like Tristan Prettyman, you can't be taken too seriously cos people tend to shelf that name together with the likes of Linsey Lohan and Jamie Spears. But she certainly lives up to her name, that she is pretty, not so much for being a man. Tristan sings like a female version of Jason Mraz, totally talented and you simply love to turn her up on a lazy summery sunday. And yes, I caught her first on a duet with Mr A-Z downloaded off limewire. Now the problem is this, I am contemplating getting tickets cos her gig happens 45 minutes after the Yamagata one, all within the Esplanade thankfully.

With a title like The Phantom of the Opera, you cannot go wrong. Bought my tickets 3 months ago in fact, for a show that will only happen 3 months from today. But I owe this musical much. When I first caught The Phantom back in the eeky Kallang Theatre in '95, it sparked off what I would call the arts streak in me, which if broadly speaking, brought me (even the most remotely) to where I am today, appreciating life the way I do. So it's sort of a sweet reunion now, coming full circle 12 years later - only in a plushier, less eeky theatre.

Now what would I do without the Esplanade, seriously.
