What a stretch!

So I started this week with a 'To Do' List that is as long as both my arms together (which incidentally from the tip of one middle finger to the other, would equal my height - go google it) and I feel like crap.

Why? Cos of last weekend at Singapore's F1 which was crazy, followed by a week of hectic work which ended up with 2 projects I've been working on for nearly a year actually being CONFIRMED *yeaaaaaahbaybehhhhh*

Rounded up with a 'farewell' Friday night out for two friends returning to China (who will probably be back in 6 weeks >_<) and a Saturday night of hopping.

First to see my fave Salah Wrong play at Daikan... errr Daikanay.... errrr that place on Changkat next to the Green Man. The girls put together a great playlist of 90s tunes - nostalgic to say the least - although I must admit that Clem and I did confess that we didn't recognise a few tunes. Nonetheless it didn't stop us from head-banging and jumping up and down like over grown teenagers. Having said that, quite a large percentage of the crowd looked like they had only just graduated from teenage-hood, so Joyce and I reckoned they were probably hearing these songs for the very first time!
Joyce & Sarah aka 'Salah Wrong'
After only one beverage I wished the girls farewell as they bopped their heads on the dance floor and battled the human and vehicular traffic outside making my way to 7ate9 where DJ Nadia holds her newly secured bi-monthly residency. She provided us with such a great sound track - housey, nu disco tunes with a classic and sophisticated vibe that you can jump up and down or simply sway your head to - whatever suits your fancy. This is a great venue for a Saturday night especially if you don't wanna be squashed into a club with sweaty, over enthusiastic peeps, but you also don't wanna be at a lifeless bar - A great in-betweener.

And to top the night off, DJ Nazkimo came along to show DJ Nadia and our brand some love as he came decked in his PopMuseSic 'Piano Keys' tee shirt

*Phew* What an insane but amazing 10 day run I've had. Great work, great news, great friends and so much love. Positivity all the way!

Ba ba ba ba - Only You

And while I'm in an 80s mode.... love this barbershop quintet (that's 5 btw) known as the Flying Pickets covering Yazoo's "Only You". Sappy? yup.... But I'm particularly digging those side burns.




Hhhhmmmm time to search some Yazoo - stay tuned!

Tight Fit.... literally

Classic tuneage. This song was a no.1 on the Bill board 100 in the 60's by the original band The Tokens and made it to the top of the UK charts again in the 80's when covered by Tight Fit. Yup you heard that band name right... and the costumes definitely fit the bill as you will see from this performance of their's on TOTP aka Top Of The Pops.

I hate to admit the fact that I remember watching this footage on TV first time around *gulp*



Trust me, it's blahdee hooky. So here's the karaoke version backed by the original music video (which i LOVED). Be sure to lock urself in your room when performing this - it's amazing the sort of dance moves it inspires..... >_<

Baby Champ? Bucks Fizz always wins



One of my childhood favourites by a band of the 80s that made their name from the Eurovision song contest.

Oh and something that inspired a song on my up-coming album heheheheeeee ! ;)
