A-cappella on the roof

Omg. It was a surreally beautiful night, utterly unforgettable and completely soul refreshing. I have to thank Eleta the gazillionth time for inviting me to Budak Pantai's insanely popular (they play once every few months only) performance on the roof top of YMCA.

Under the stars, on top of a building, oreo shake in hand, munching Cheezels, a middle-age a-cappella quartet with a wicked humour, a divorce lawyer who made digs on every topic possible - global warming, shortage of rice, Charlton Heston, A380, Mark Wahlburg etc etc, fusion songs, distorted songs, romantic songs, Chinese songs, GREAT singing.

The band

Oreo shake with Al

You're the lunatic one on this full moon night!

Zhan who gave me exasperated looks the whole night hahaha

Whyyyy that pained look guys?

Budak started off with one of my fav love duet from Phantom - All I Ask of You. I nearly melted. Wished for a moment that it was somebody else beside me, not Mal (don't get me wrong. Mal is one of the nicest "get it" get it guy on earth and I can see why the girls crush on him last time haha).

Fishy business..

Cute couple. HX actually brought her mask cos Mal told her it's a fart-cappella -_-

Everybody around me were photographers by profession or photography fanatics. And I received many bemused looks when I didn't know what a Lomo camera was. Mal was trying to explain lighting and all to me and surprisingly I managed to catch some of it. I wanted him to show me what photo drawing with light (using a long exposure) meant so here are his admirable attempts:

"Light-hearted" drawings

Experiments with light - the wonder of photons

Of course no night will be complete without supper! Ben&Jerry's was packed so Zhan drove us to Geylang while we had an Easties' discussion on good sup places.

If sad hours seems long to Romeo than happy times are whizzing by way too quickly..
