my dodol week (24 - 30 may)

hello everyone

its a super short last week of the month
(hint hint, pay day)
if that is not enuff reason to celebrate, then
take a peek at three very important events
happening this week

1) the great singapore sale starts this week
click here for the deals and offers
//www.greatsingaporesale.com.sg
the deals and offers is only activated on the friday, hoh. so wait long long first
personally, i need shoes.


2) the even greater singapore arts festival starts this week
//www.singaporeartsfest.com
have you marked and bought your tickets?


3) im finally getting the iMac computer for the office

yes yes, a classy coffeetable to put my coffee cup on top!


so. thats all good.
but heres something lagi best. party news.

beatbox breaks for Flipside at the esplanade concourse
//www.esplanade.com
friday 6.30 pm and saturday 8.30


Indie Jam @ Hideout
//www.hideout.com.sg
2 indie pop bands, Mistaken Identity and Stoned Revival. and after that, they'll be spinning non-stop indie tunes, the stuff thats on your iPod and not on Perfect10
James, Franz Ferdinand, The Smiths, The Dandy Warhols, Ash...



for something more intellectual,
miror theatre will be staging Shanmugam, the Kalinga trilogy pt1 at the substation
//sg.geocities.com/mirortheatre
and its Kalinga, not Keling Kia. if you have bought tickets, lucky you. i think the only shows left are the saturday and sunday 2pm matinee.


for something more engaging for your soul,
drop by the Little India function room this sunday morning and write a note in the Condolence book for the dead mynamar worker whose body was dumped in a multi storey carpark recently. non-profit groups Home amd TWC2 are organizing this. Home's founder, bridget made a moving appeal this morning on stage. i think the group is doing some excellent work and she deserves a kind word and a hug. and all your spare change, pls.

the BarNone sessions ends this monday with Pop music. the bands playing will be Quantum Spring, Dreams Of Day Architecture and (oh oh oh) Serenaide!
//www.agingyouth.com
this will be the first gig for newly weds Pheyroz and Mimi
//phlog.net/manicmolly
will it be fun? i should think so. good drinks, excellent sound, great bands, comfy sofas, hot women with sexy strappy heels...


and lastly, heres something i just discovered today. everyone's favourite ministry, the Ministry of Gambling, aka the Singapore Totalisator Board, is on record as Singapore's biggest and most important donor organization. in 2004, they have given away S$300 million. let me repeat that. S$300 million. even the Lee Foundation cant fight ($49 million). nor SPH ($8.1 million). nor NTUC Fairprice ($4.3 million). nor Singtel ($4.0 million). gambling absolutely works!
