opps he did it again

okay brace yourself for verrrrry floozy entry :P

remember the voice that captivated me & Ling that fateful night at the seafood restaurant? we just heard him again at lunch today… and he’s as mesmerizing as ever.

esplanade did a lunchbox thingy where mr heavenly-voice, with his band (altogether they are Timmy), played love songs that would melt any girl’s heart.

yes, we are suckers unanimous but honestly, you have to hear him to believe it! we figured it really isn’t his looks cos he’s not that cute (tho he’s the only guy besides ethan hawke that i can take with a goatee heh). we agreed the experience is just as wonderful with our eyes closed! its his voice, choice of songs and amazing playing that comes together nicely to deal a lethal punch thru our defenses. trust me girls, you’ll feel like putty when you hear him hahaha

okay lar, jokes & swoons aside he & his band really has talent. i was especially impressed with the arrangements, chords and musical skill. the bass was good, the acoustic guit was amazing, the keyboard was awesome. i never liked enrique iglesia’s hero but his rendition today was very different & i actually heard the lyrics properly for the first time – quite sweet huh. they also did the reason & she will be loved… a few of my faves that really got to me. not so much him, but really the words & the music. i know lar, im your typical lovefool. actually scratch that. im more accurately the cynical romantic cos seated there pondering the songs, the qns of when & if ever came up again. oh wells.

interestingly enough the crowd that came to watch wasn’t made up entirely of fluffy teeny girls (or working swoony types like us either). alot of aunties & uncles (like 70 yr old types! think they were suckered by the "classic love songs" line in the postcards), some expats and mostly people who looked like they didn’t have to work… the uncle on our left fell asleep, whilst the one on our right was tapping non-stop Ling had to change seats hahaha. pity the band slightly cos the crowd tho politely appreciative, took awhile to warmup. but overall a cool concept to do free lunchtime concerts - great that esplanade is making the arts more accessible to all.

curious? check him out on wed nites at walawala or mon/thur nites at acid bar (i think). no, we aren’t stalking him - tsktsk now that wld be ungodly. just ya know, well-informed ;)
