Mosaic Festival

Tonight is really full of happy events man!!!! In an entry 2 or 3 days ago, i sent an open invitation to people to join me to go to one of the concert in this Mosaic Festival!!! Anyway this Mosaic Festival is a 10-day event where Esplanade will invite top performers from the Jazz and World music genre to hold concert here!!! It's the first time they're organising such events and since i quite like jazz music, i've wanted to go to a few concert, but then due to lack of funds, i've to choose one and i chose the very 1st concert, which is James Moody's 80th Birthday Celebration concert!!!

Opening concert for the first ever Mosaic Festival, i bet it must be some good stuff!!!

ok, so the response to go to this concert isn't very good. Only weiting came and tell me that he's interested. ANother friend in my camp wanted to go as well, so i've booked 3 tix on tuesday!!! ok. enough of this crap. jump to tonight then!!!

So after the 3 of us met at City Hall Mrt at around 5pm, we went over to Esplanade to collect the ticket 1st. Then the first wonderful thing of the night happened!!! As we headed to the box office to get the ticket,

THE GIRL AT THE BOX OFFICE COUNTER IS DAMN CUTE + CHIO!!!!! THE CHIOEST I SAW SINCE 2005!!!!!

Cant believe my eyes man!!! Really didn't expect such a cute girl will be at the box office!!! 我的心飛起來了. haha

Ok, then we went to suntec to settle our dinner and take a look at the IT fair as well!!! At the IT fair, i bumped into my ex-platoon mate in OCS lor!!! I am so happy to see him around cos i've sort of lose contact with my OCS mates!! i really really enjoyed our time together veyr much!!! I've lost contact with them since i changed my hp no. It's glad that they're still meeting on a regular basis and they're actually jioing me all along only they did not know i've changed my number!! So nxt time i'll definitely be there man!!! HAPPY!!!

So to the concert proper!!! Wow, i feel so high class. 我是上等人. The previously time i went for a concert in Esplanade i wore a slipper and a 烂 T-shirt which was from my sec 1 time cos i was partially dragged there by my friend. But today i was dressed much more proper and feel more easy and part of the crowd and not awkward!!!! The 3 of us feel that by attending such concert raised our social status lor!!! At the same time elevate us to the upper echelon of the society. HAHAH!!

Ok, this James Moody is the 主角 and he got 3 side kick, playing the piano, the double bass and the drum each! James Moody is really damn great, can play all types of woodwind instrument though mainly saxophone la!! In the concert, he played clarinet, flute and the soprano, alto n tenor saxophones. Really cant believe this old man is already 80 years old man!! so full of energy!!! James Moody is a seasoned performer man!!! Not only his music was good, the whole package, meaning the presentations and bla bla are damn great as well!!! He told a few jokes, quite funy!!! and he can sing well too!!! Of course the crowd was marvellous too!!!

Wat i mean by the crowd being marvellous??? haha, ALOT OF CHIOBUS!!!! from a damn good point of view, we can almost look at all the girls in the concert hall!!! dun think we are 色狼, but it's really 人之常情 to look at beautiful pple from the opposite sex,of course unless you are homo la!!!

So another thing from this concert, the pianist's name is Jeremy Monteiro. HE's a 十足十馬屁精. He has countless phrase to suck up to James Moody during the whole concert after every song!!! So just list a few of the example here!!!

" Let's welcome the irresistable, irrepressible, the living legend, James Moody!!!"

"Oh, what a great piece, it's my honour to play alongside the great Moody!!"

" Sometimes when you're playing with the master, you tend to be listening and enjoying so much that you actually forgot you are supposed to play nxt. And it's the case with me now!!!"

His suck-up word is really damn disgusting!! though he's a damn great pianist, i think he plays damn well in the concert also, but being such a lowly scum, i despised him man!!!

Ok, as the title of the concert suggest, it's James Moody's 80th birthday concert!!! So it's actuially a celebration for him. So after the concert, everyone is entitled to a slice of birthday cake, kindly offered by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. As people close to me will know i dun really like cakes. Especially bday cake!!! But then this cake is really damn nice!! the chocolate taste is so rich!!Again, i dun quite like choc also, but it's really that good!! So the low-class and 寒酸 trio of us took another slice each. HAHA. damn kiasu and cheapo!!!

Hmm... after that, i think we cant get enough of music man!!! So we went over to Harry's Bar to get a drink n some finger food!!! The guy at Harry's sang some Beatles song, for your info i LOVE beatles, and ended with the song "If" by bread. Again, another of my fave oldies!!! So happy lor!!!

Can a night get any better than this???? Dun think so!!! I think having 1 good concert a year will make me live longer!!! 2001-Westlife Concert (i like boyband, yeah!!!!), 2002-Red Hot Chili Pepper Concert ( the 1st time i know wa's mosh pit), 2003-nil, 2004- Linkin Park Concert ( The 1st outdoor concert i attended, simply great) & 2005-James Moody!!!

Yeah, i like concert!!! Hopefully more famous artist from different genre can come to Singapore in the future!! Looking forward to that!!!
