We Will Rock You was rather cool, or so I thought. Seeing Queen’s songs being used to fuel a musical staged in the West End… it was somewhat like Mamma Mia! but less cheesy and, being set in a slightly-futuristic world, it contained many elements of the contemporary music society which brought it close to reality and with which we could identify with. Think of it as a tribute to music, to Rock & Roll especially, and to the great classics and famous artistes who’ve made their mark in the music industry. I’ve devoured so many musicals in the past academic year that now I don’t have any ‘want to watch’ lists anymore… just going with whatever’s floating by my way.

And… nowadays, it takes just a little more than a moment for me to realise that I'm again the odd one out in a group of guys. Happened so many times in Linstead... so much so that I no longer even think about it, even when hanging out while in Singapore. But when the gang of guys is a different bunch... they're newer friends... freshers too (though that doesn't really make a diff 'cept that I don't know them as well as those in my year), I suddenly find myself a lot more conscious of myself and things around me... and behave a little more uptight too. And a big change certainly makes a big diff in the way others tread around you. I guess like many others, and like many times in the past, I'm still trying to find out what I'm really like. One side a no-nonsense, serious and only mildly-humorous being, and the other side which has a certain degree of wildness and fun-seeking tendency. I sometimes I wish I could be totally carefree and indifferent and let it all flow… but the watchdog in me is just too… watchful. Despite that, I’ve no intention of shaking it off though. It has served me well and will continue doing so.
