I added Singapore's Foreign Minister Mr George Yeo on facebook! He's adept at the facebook applications from what i see on his profile with really cool sepia photos from his university days in UK to boot.
Also in photos: Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong and Trade and Industry Minister Mr Lim Hng Kiang decked in retro garb of the 70s/80s and shaggy, almost shoulder-length hairdos. And they wanted to ban The Rollling Stones gig in the 70s because the band had long hair?
But I must say, minister sir, good work on facebook. The social media is the future.
I thought about Brett Anderson again and... dug up from the depths of my room, a photo I took with the Suede in 2002, in an interview opportunity I had or rather I won on Power 98 by sending in a question for the band. I sent in a really dumb question to him in retrospect.
Q: What records would you rescue if your house was set on fire?
A: _______________ ( i couldn't remember anything. i didnt record, i wasn't even a journalist, just a radio listener and i didnt take notes. just stared at his flawless, chiselled face)
And for those of you who know, this fangirl bought a box of chocolates intended for Mr Anderson, but I was too shy and it was really damn uncool to give chocolates to a rockstar, ain't it.
Fate of the chocolates? Left it on the bus, on my way to watch Suede at MediaCorp studios.
A vintage Penguin! I bought this vintage 1960s print of Homer's Odyssey at some second-hand book fair at Tanjong Pagar HDB estate. Haven't started reading it though, I am much afraid , it will fall apart in my greasy hands. Maybe I should start collecting vintage penguins. I should :) And this was a steal, nonetheless along with a 1950s Charles Dickens I bought.
