This whole past weekend was spent with Soufi. We had a sleepover at her place Friday and Saturday night. Saturday morning, she found out that she was invited to go for The People's Party for free because she'd been ALO for a band called Tenderfist at UpToTheSky. They were performing for TPP and put her on their guestlist. She also got me a free pass from her friend and so I got to go as well. Day 1 of TPP was basically Monster Cat, Tenderfist, Plainsunset, Eatmepoptart, then The Jezabels and Metronomy!!! Ok I'm gonna lay it out here: I'd yet to listen to any of these bands (or DJs) even when I left for Scape to see them. But it was okay because I still had lots of fun. It was interesting I guess, having my first taste of a band's music in the form of a live show. Soufi and I got to watch all the bands from the barricades that day because the crowd was small and people decided to spread out around the room. Also, we made friends with the people around us and we'd take turns to defend our spot when we went for breaks (sometimes with the Tenderfist boys who have this really goodlooking friend oh my god). I loved all the bands we saw this day. We danced and swayed and bobbed our heads a lot.
Day 2, I bought my own ticket because there weren't anymore spare passes. But I had to go back home to drop off my stuff and then to Scape so I ended up coming after Muon, The Analog Girl, Noughts and Exes AND Unknown Mortal Orchestra played, but ah well, The Naked and Famous and Bombay Bicycle Club were really, really fun and the crowd was lovely. Lots of dancing, head-bobbing, swaying on everyone's part. It was also Jack Steadman of BBC's birthday and the crowd sang him a birthday song :-) I miss my weekend.
Today I went to Sentosa with my school friends. It was a very nice day. It was really hot before six, but swimming was nice and people-watching was fun and the company was good. It was a very needed escape from home because my mother has gone high high high. She left the house early this morning and we didn't know where she'd gone, but in the evening we got a call. Apparently the police took her in for being crazy and sent her to the hospital. That is that I suppose. But really man.. it's only been a week since she was discharged.
It is five a.m. Time to sleep before I get my angst on.
