GREEN DAY- 21st Century Breakdown

had fun recording our voices yesterday at home with the mic and the recording software. it really caught our voice well. the result is clean. hence it was a joy singing into it and listening the outcome, knowing that it's definitely clear. (=

in the evening, we attended GREEN DAY concert! it was a huge success. people, lots of malays and caucassians, were streaming in from all sides of the stadium. and the vibe is definitely high over there. we all bought green day tees. inside i changed my clothes and we entered the theatre, welcomed by booming loud music that's bursting my eardrums. it's like a freaking club in there! i hope mum and dad were alright. as a result, we couldn't call or talk to each other through the electric guitar and drum. we had to shout at the top of our lungs, just to get our message through to my brother sitting beside. what a crazy night it had been! =D

of course, it was crazily FUN! it was the best concert i've ever attend in my whole life, so far. i wasn't familiar with most of their songs, except Boulevard of Broken Dreams, Wake Me Up When September Ends, 21 guns, American Idiot. when a familiar song came on, it was the most exciting part for me. i literally was jumping up and down at the peak. anyway, lots of people (especially the three malay boys in front of us who looked like they are crazy over ALL of green day songs) were jumping up and down too. well, GREEN DAY did mentioned that he likes crazy in the beginning, so there goes people being so ever crazy.

we stood up for the entire 2.5 hours GREEN DAY played their songs. we, meaning those who were feeling crazy. (i really felt the sore after exiting the theatre.) the rest of the people were sitting down and some even left halfway when GREEN DAY "ended" their concert. in the end GREEN DAY returned once more on stage and sang so much more songs! it was great! luckily we stayed and shouted for GREEN DAY to come back. haha. and for most of the songs, we audience could sing them well and loudly so Joe Billy Armstrong (vocalist and guitarist) just played the guitar and smiled at the audience. smts he even got down to his knees to buy to us. lol. what a sight. when he told us to scream, he even commented that Singapore is louder than America! that's shocking. well actually there's lots of caucassians (maybe Americans) in the audience, but still they're the singaporean audience. a bit of irony there. anyways.

GREEN DAY was loads of fun! they shot tees in the air using a canon shotgun. they sprayed water to the audience. they sprouted rolls of tissue over the audience. he also invited audience to come on stage, sang his songs and then once they ended to jump to the audience. surprisingly, some of the audience were so enthusiastic and already behaving like a star. they jumped both feet high into the air, synchronized their act to the beat of the music and the lightings and all. it was really a joy to us. and my most memorable one is that Joe Billy Armstrong revealed his bare butt to us for about 0.6 second. lol! it was so hilarious. cracked everybody up.

however back home after the concert and all, i googled GREEN DAY as i was curious about its members. and what did i find that shocked me even more? is that the three members are all 37 now. that's like 5 years younger than my mum. and yet they're still behaving like a teenager. how is that possible? and they're all dads. yet they're like so punk and all. how are they ever gonna educate their children? what an interesting find out. that this world is really crazy!!!


this morning, i was supposed to go check my cholesterol level but i refused. for some reason. maybe i will do it next year. i just have to remember to exercise more than last year and eat less seafood? then later in the evening, i will be accompanying my brother to the optical clinic down @wisma atria, then meeting zel and elaine at 6 later @orchd. it's been a while since we last hang out.
