Here I am to blog about the day we had. I took leave today just because Hon was on his Off day. It is something which I treasure a lot - time. We planned the day to be something different and exciting but more of a SheZai's "Lepak T-shirt-shorts-and-slippers-day" because we just wanted to chill, lay back and have fun exploring the old treasures at Bras Basah.
We ended buying nil and headed on to the National Library to look for books on Mac, iLife, Garageband, and digital music, which was cool coz we're on a music producing high. Har Har! I have just created my own song for Honey last week using Garageband and am addicted to it since. You see, my Dad used to own a Roland midi synthesizer along with its Yamaha tone generator, but when we brought it out from the dust and mess of the store room (where he keeps it with all of his other treasures), we realised that the equipment is waaaaaay ol'skool. They don't even use USB cable! He bought these about 15 - 20 years ago, i can still remember playing along to Beethoven when i was 14.... hahaha! Yea right. So back into the dusty ol store they went. To collect dust for another few more years before somebody decides he/she wants to buy it. Any takers? Still looks mint new. Hmmm.. I doubt so.
And so with that in mind, me and hubby went in search of a new synthesizer compatible with Macbook and Garageband. We shared money to buy this:-
A simple 49-keys midi keyboard.
We have also expanded our Garageband with many samples and the music-making runs all night long in SheZai's bedroom... Hehehe. It was super fun! We will upload our song once we come up with one...... Hmmmm....
Onwards, we met up with my sister Phique to chillout around Suntec and was surprised by the sudden display of fireworks. Must be the left-overs from NDP. Here are some random shots we took:-
I love this pic. Perfect shot, Perfect timing, by Phique.
It starts to get crazy...
Very touristy shot of my tourist sister who just came to visit S'pore on a social visit pass from Indonesia. She looks happy..... MWaAHahahahhahahahaha!! ROFL!
Closing ceremony.
The fireworks are nice. Wonder why people are still awed by the colourful explosives. Waaaaaahhh.. mouths agape.
Your mouth will stay agape too when you see what food we discovered next. The most-talked about Cheese-sticks!!! Perfect when savoured hot with Chilli and tartar sauce. Remember I tried to make these on my previous entry but failed? I draw inspiration from these yummy ecstasies. If you wanna know where they sell these, ask Phique, cos we've brought her there. Or else, it's our little secret... =)
Come nightfall, we had drinks at a cafe in Boat Quay, as suggested by Phique. It's such a good place to laugh and have fun, man!!! We played board games and had snacks and drinks. The games we played are so funnY! We're gonna hang out here more often for the neverending games and laughter!
A few of the games we played.
