Hark ! The Herald Angel sings ...
Last Saturday, after worship practice, the PIC went out gallivanting again. Somehow, juggling between 2 cars and driving along the streets of Singapore is no easy feat ! It was funny how the 3 of us managed to, and it was almost like 'police & thief' car chase along the busy roads of Bendemeer area. We ended up checking out some of the restaurants along Prinsep street area and this music place caught our attention - "Hark Music Cafe"
One of those places where you can sit and lounge and listen to chinese pop music performed by their resident musicians and singers. I admit that I'm not so fond of their high bar stools, cos I have short legs, it was weird to have swinging legs with no leg support at the bottom ! A bit uncomfortable, but I guess what to do when you are short !! heheeh What's more, you can be your own singing popstar there and they will play music accompaniment for you while you showcase your talents in front of the crowd. Not bad, a bit like those "Mu Chuan" and "Ai Qing Hai" concept. Nice cosy decor which I think E-nana likes, esp. the secret garden flavour and hanging greenery from the ceiling. Hmm, dunno how to explain.
It was nice listening to others singing, but what was more satisfying was when our own resident flautist, decides to take the stage and *ahem* do her own guitar accompaniment and rendition of "Wo Yuan Yi". It was great !! You know lah, if there's anyone who isn't afraid of stage fright, it's her !!! Very very happy ... Somemore the accompanying keyboardist is an indirect acquaintance of hers from SMU (I think)
Oh well, small world ! For those who wanna check out this place ... Visit http://www.harkmusic.com/

3/7/2006 9:31:43 AM <someone> rem to blog when ur free,....hehe
I guess I better do this before I incur someone's wrath ! Anyway, this is an overdue entry but the PIC did have an interesting weekend last week. I think it started on Friday night where 2 PIC members met for dinner in town after combing through orchard road from Lucky Plaza to Meridien to Centrepoint running 'errands'. It was only later at 9.30 pm or so where our 3rd PIC member joined us after work and we decided to do some chilling out. We are in Singapore, sigh, seriously where can we go to chill without seeing people jammed packed on the dance floor and soaking with perspiration and convulsing right before your eyes ? Honestly, ain't many nice places to chill with good music. Long ago, my favourite used to be the Somerset Bar, but it has since many years ago closed down ... (I never quite know the reason why)
Anyway, we decided to check out Raffles Hotel 'Long Bar' because a certain member has been quite 'gian' to visit after knowing that you can simply be a litter bug throwing peanut shells on the floor without getting a summon ticket or having to do community service at Changi Beach. There is an in-house band there by the name of "Moodique" that sings contemporary and pop hits. We had an interesting night there, sitting by the bar counter, but simply enjoying the music and the band. Quite fascinated about how the band was playing very well together, complimenting each others extremely well. From the bassist, to the keyboardist, to the saxophonist who was also a percussionist, to the vocalists and electric guitarist, all of them integrated very well. We had some spontaneous crowd that broke into dancing on the floor before the band and it was just fun for us to chill and enjoy our drinks.
So yeah, there you have it, the escapade which is not so escapade after all ehehehehe ... :)

Jalan Kayu Outing
Last night, we had a S.E.E ambush at Jln Kayu ... (S.E.E mainly comprising the name initial of those who were deployed in the outing) It came about that S.E.E were practising really hard for this Sunday's service. I think we did quite well considering some people hasn't touched or dusted their instruments for awhile, and another one keep thinking she only has a kopi license and no talent ! What rubbish !! Anyway, we ambushed the Jln Kayu prata shop, but we were dismayed. Not by the crowd, more by the standard of the food. Expensive pratas (more than the ones we usually hang out at) and it took quite some time before they arrive. I would have fainted from the waiting. My Maggie Mee Goreng was a tad spicy .. Erm, lost all forms of sensation after the ambush. There was somewhat an empty feeling in the middle section of my body namely my TUMMY ! I think we will not venture there again, a little disappointed. Quite different from the 3 yrs ago outing we had at Psalmist Movie Marathon !!!!!!!!!! Wah ... Thinking about the marathon .... Really trigger back some fond mem'ries. Wacky time !
