My sister and I were talking about going overseas for a holiday and at the same time, attend a concert of bands/performers that will probably never come to Singapore.. Like Lifehouse or Dishwalla, Howie Day.. I just found out (better late than never) about many many many festivals in Europe and Australia/New Zealand.

Glastonbury Festival
Heard about this while watching MTV Screen yesterday. This show called Glastonbury was introduced. I think it's a documentary on the 30th anniversary of the festival. Apparently, it's a major festival that takes place almost every year, in June if I am not wrong. And MUSE performed in 2004. I just found out last night when I was watching their Live at Glastonbury DVD.

2007 Kylie Minogue, The Killers

Big Day Out
This a festival held in Australia and New Zealand. Let's see..

2006 Franz Fredinand
2004 MUSE, Jet
2003 Foo Fighters

Next Year, MUSE will be performing again! Along with Jet and The Killers. How cool is that? And and! Here's my ultimate fulfil-able dream.. MUSE will either seriously drop by Singapore after the festival, like Franz Ferdinand did this year. This festival takes place in January and February. So I'm praying and hoping that MUSE will drop by after! *buzzes* Or I will fly to Australia to catch them live! *buzzes somemore* In the second option, not only will I be able to travel (FINALLY!), I will get to watch MUSE live! OHH MY GOODNESS! *buzzing continues*

Carling Weekend
This is held at Reading and Leeds, think there might be other venues as well. Not too sure which time of the year it is held, but from what I found, should be August. Anways, MUSE and Franz Ferdinand played this year.

Festivals are really cool.. Do we have something like that here? more things for me to check out!

It's just extremely exciting for me to find out where MUSE is playing live at! Hee! And all of these festivals are tempting me to hop on a plane and go, whether or not I have school. It'll be totally cool! I think concerts are way better when you get to experience it overseas. It's not as strict as here. No recording and stuff, I mean not that I want to. Plus, it just sounds better elsewhere. Here, Esplanade is WAY too strict, and it just doesn't sound good at the Indoor Stadium. It doesn't matter if it's loud, but it cannot sound like noise. Indoor Stadium makes music sound like noise when it's loud. -_-


I saw MUSE on TV today, EMAs. They performed Starlight and as always, they sound really good. They won an award too, for Best Alternative Act. YES! They are considered alternative? I didn't know that. Anyway, for the first time, I got to see an actual interview with them. Short but still an interview. I love them! If you haven't already realised.. ;)

Now that my holidays are here, I was wondering what I should do today. I eventually decided to pack the stuff that I left lying around the house. Like notes and books and scraps. My cleaning spree brought me to my shelf, to the two boxes that I’ve had forever. One is a gift box and the other, a letter and card box. I found many pictures I forgot I had and many of which I wish I didn’t have. Then I had to decide if I wanted to keep them, or throw/burn them. I decided to keep them by the way. Just to remind myself of some of the bad choices I made. Not to kick myself over them but more as a reminder not to make the same silly mistakes.

The thing that got to me was the letter box. It basically had everything that I get in the mail since primary three and all kinds of greeting cards that I used to receive from my friends. All the people who came and went, and all the people who hung around after many years. I know I’m only 21 and I’m making it sound like I’m 40 or something. But really, it’s been 5 years since secondary school and 3 since JC. (I still don’t feel old by the way) There are tons of letters and well-wishes from people I don’t remember. There were mainly letters from people who stopped writing after awhile. Either because they got bored and/or lazy or because I didn’t reply. I wonder which, hmmm…?

I basically realized the following things:
1) How much I’ve changed over the years.
2) I have the habit of not posting a letter.

After reading some of the stuff, I realized that I have grown up.. YAY! I was afraid that it would never happen. Hee! Some of them reminded me of the biggest mistakes I’ve made so far. And as much as I hate to say it, it’s about boys, two different boys from two different periods of my life. I actually feel embarrassed to say that. But hey, I have to face the reality of it. Ha! I hope that I’ve become smart enough to prevent me from making another boy-mistake. It’s all so silly! -_-

I also realized that I’ve got quite a few letters and cards that are nicely written, signed off, folded and put into an envelop. But it’s not posted. Yup! I have a few of those. Weird huh? I’m still trying to figure out why it’s like that. Hmmmm.. *ponders*
