For me, Nice is kind of an ideal vacation spot cos there's a range of things to see and do. There's the old town with a nice unique atmosphere of its own where you can find comparably cheaper food and shopping; the promenade with a wonderful stone pebbled beach to fill up your day and churches to visit.

sadly, i've lost contact with luke (guy with arrow pointing to his head). i was trying to reply to an email i received from him 2 years ago and it was null. its been a while since i cleared my emails and i came upon our correspondence 2 years back.

me and kiat decided to do something really stupid with our buddy's sword. We took pictures of each other posing kungfu moves. At the end of the night, we made a bloody terrorist movie clip...hahahaha..i can't stop laughing thinking about it.
I'll find time to make a collage of our "Hua Shan Lun Jian" Kungfu Secret manual. Woohoo....we are childish pricks but i'm loving every minute of it.

ok, finally found time to write about WOMAD 2004. Its not as good as the previous year but still, i had quite a good time. I thought that we seriously lacked alcohol that night. This time, there are more african mamas than ever but i must admit they do have really good stage presence.

Here's a new tag line:
Music is:
a butterfly,
a teacup,
your love for her,
the colour of your skin,
a mother and a child,
a celebration
and a grave
in 6,809 languages, played in 4 continents. We bring music together. Why not show us yours?
