Wala's

Wala's is a place I can only go to when I'm feeling hyped up. You need a certain mood to go to Wala's. But today I was feeling WAY TOO SLACK to go. I wanted to just sit down and pig out, courtesy of my 16km run... (Actually this may just be a reason for pigging out but what the heck)

But I didn't want to drive all the way to Holland V for nothing. It may be like KTV. Inertia stops you from going because you are too lazy to sing and pick songs. But once you get started, you are on a roll. Once I get into wala's and I hear Jack sing, I know I wouldn't regret it either. The queue wasn't so bad anyway. I stepped into the entrance, only to encounter Mr Hamsup the bouncer. He stamped my hand with the chop and then he stamped it with his own brand of "hamsup-ness". Didn't let go of my hand for 3 sec then asked me how I was doing.. Yucks yucks.
Today the whole place was brimming with RJ people. RJ PE teachers were there, together with some law friends who were one year my senior and two years my senior. Jem Leong and John Yeo, Kelly and Kevin. Apparently Rai is an RJ teacher too! Stupid PE teacher stole my seat just as I was going to sit down at the recently vacated table we moved forward to occupy. When I asked him why the heck he took my chair, he gave a cheeky, "I think I'm very charming and irresistible" grin and said, "Oh I just need it". BAH. To be fair, he did return it later and even patted the seat and tried to make amends and be friendly, but too bad, damage is done! I dao-ed him like mad until I got it back.. hahaha

The songs EIC played tonight were better than the last time. They even played my dedication! Chariot by Gavin DeGraw, but they looked a bit surprised to see it, cos I think they only recently rehearsed it. I was bowled over. It was great. They also played Matchbox Twenty's Bright Lights. That one was a charming number. And tons of U2 songs and Green Day's Wake Me Up when September Ends. Yum. Yum is also a way to describe Jack. I'm in love with the way he plays his guitar and his onstage charisma. Just oozing with ACS charm.. haha. I wonder what he looks like without the stage lights and the dark ambience... And Rai's was really really good. His voice is very strong, not as nasal as Jack's, and he can pull of Damien Rice's Blower's Daughter very well, cos it can go all soft and soothing and yet strong and masculine in a matter of 2 notes. I have to go to Timbre to check them out on Wednesdays...
