I haven’t updated my blog for a couple of weeks, but it’s been an interesting couple of weeks.
I can’t remember everything that I did last weekend, but I did have a great time on Saturday night seeing five or six bands, starting at O’Bama’s in Tanjong Pagar to see my friend Farid Long’s band (along with two other bands, including a really cool one that played early R.E.M. songs like “Driver 8″), then off to JJ Atlante’s around the corner to see the Heritage Band, ending up on Orchard Road to see the Sweet Notes and a few other bands at other places on Orchard Road.
Here’s a picture essay of the past few weeks.

Here are some scenes from around Singapore.
Lots of construction in Singapore; sometimes even bus stops get boarded up. That’ll be a pretty long wait, LOL…
